Chapter 122 Obediently Hand It over (Part 2)
"What's the matter, look at the way you speak so seriously, big brother"? Seeing the aborigine in Shijia Village saying this seriously, the people nearby felt uneasy for a while, so they asked immediately.
These people who fled to Shijia Village have only come here not long ago, and they don't know anything about the situation here, and they are afraid that something will happen again.
You must know that among the three human settlements in Tianshui City, there are many rules and regulations, and a little carelessness may result in the end of life.
"Let me tell you, when Tang Tian went out this morning, he agreed that all people within the scope of Shijia Village must pay a poll tax according to their level, which is the magic coin, and it is Pay it every day, and if you can’t pay it, you have to leave.” The aborigine of Shijia Village threw a blockbuster.
As expected, when these people heard the news, they immediately exploded.
These people were either questioning why Tang Tian asked them to pay, and Tang Tian didn't give them anything, or some were helpless, and they lived uneasy wherever they went.
However, more people are just laughing. It makes sense for him Tang Tian to ask people to pay taxes. After all, these people are in his territory, but they have to pay poll tax according to their ranks. Can Tang Tian know the ranks of these people? Also, with so many people and such chaos, can Tang Tian successfully tax the heads?
Things will definitely develop in an extreme direction, and what kind of situation may arise.
This information seemed to grow wings, and it didn't take long to reach everyone's ears. Everyone was waiting for the development of the matter, and almost everyone was discussing this topic.
For the aborigines of Shijia Village and the people of Tianshui University who came here before, they have silently accepted this matter. After all, they have received the news in advance and are prepared. It seemed too sudden.
Tang Tian, who was on the side, left quietly after getting the information he wanted. He also listened to the topics discussed by the people. No matter what, the matter of tax collection must be put into action.
After all, this Xinshou Village was built by him alone, and those people do not have the right to enjoy safety for free.
"Sister Shen Yun, what should we do? We don't have any money. If we can't pay taxes, will Tang Tian drive us out? Then how can we live?" In a corner of Shijia Village, Shen Yun and the baby-faced Bingbing curled up beside a small fire, listening to the topics discussed by people not far away, the baby-faced beauty named Bingbing said with a worried expression.
"I don't know either. I don't have to worry about eating when I work in a tavern every day, but I haven't been paid yet. We definitely won't be able to pay the tax, but I don't think Tang Tian is a heartless person." , I'm sure they won't drive us away," Shen Yun said quietly, looking up at the sky helplessly.
How long ago, as the daughter of a thousand gold, did she also fall to such a state? Look at other people's faces, let alone live, but also have money, no money, and no place to live.
Before the end of the world, she would never have dared to imagine such a life of homelessness. But this world is so impermanent, and it changes as soon as it changes.
"Sister Shen Yun, if we are going to be kicked out because we can't pay the money, it's a big deal... I'll let Tang Tian sleep once, it's the first time for me. In this way, we should be able to get us here for free. It's a chance to live, it's better to go out and eat the horrible mutant beasts and disgusting zombies, I really don't want to die." Bingbing said with a helpless and sad face, her big bright eyes flashing.
"Silly girl, don't let you think like this. Even if we die, we don't want to live in such a lowly way. Even if the world has changed, I don't believe that we can't live a famous life by ourselves. Besides, look at Tang Tian. Not such a person", Shen Yun listened to Bingbing's words,
Said with a firm face.
At this moment, a ray of radiance bloomed on her beautiful face.
However, facing the endless night sky and hearing the faint roars of various mutated beasts in the distant jungle, her expression suddenly darkened again, so helpless.
It can be said that it is not easy for them who have no power to restrain themselves to gain a foothold in this chaotic world.
This turmoil, it can be said that some families are happy and some are sad. Those who are strong in their own hands have a lot of magic coins in their hands, and they are not afraid of Tang Tian collecting taxes, but these people will not hand them over obediently. Those with weak strength are completely apprehensive and obey the arrangements of fate.
"It's almost time", Tang Tian said to himself as he quietly walked around the entire Shijia Village, and then he quietly walked back to the barracks again.
"Call out the army and bring everyone together". When he came to the barracks, Tang Tian gave instructions to the soldiers around him.
"Yes, my lord." The soldier who received the order answered and turned around to arrange Tang Tian's order.
Woo~~!
Not long after Tang Tian's order was issued, a desolate trumpet sounded suddenly under the silent night sky, which seemed so sudden.
Immediately after the sound of the horn, the entire barracks began to run like a clockwork. Squads of soldiers dressed neatly and armed with distinctive weapons rushed out of the barracks and ran towards me in all directions.
The dispatch of these soldiers immediately exploded the whole Shijia Village.
The crowd was running, shouting angrily, and jumping around.
However, no matter how stabbing you are, when facing groups of soldiers with bright equipment and indifferent faces, these people have to be honest. If they make trouble, they might be swarmed up by these indifferent soldiers. , It's really not worth dying like this.
No one wants to be strong at this time.
Although the scene was chaotic, the operation was proceeding smoothly.
Since the people were relatively concentrated, everyone was gathered in the open space of Shijia Village very quickly, and a blazing bonfire was lit around, illuminating the entire open space brightly.
Looking around, under the night sky, more than 10,000 people gathered together, a mass of human heads.
On the side, it was completely surrounded by soldiers in fresh clothes and angry horses, and no one could escape.
A simple platform was set up in front of the crowd at some point, and when the people gathered, Tang Tian, wearing a black cloak, came down to the high platform surrounded by a group of soldiers with an indifferent expression on his face.
The appearance of Tang Tian immediately silenced the people below. Everyone looked at Tang Tian quietly, waiting for his arrangement.
Under the night sky, even though the bonfire was lit, Tang Tian patrolled around, but the expressions of many people couldn't see clearly. Organized the words in his mind, looking at the dark crowd below, Tang Tian said: "I'm very glad that everyone came to Shijia Village, which is also called Novice Village in your mouth. I won't say much else. Feeling intimidated? Sad to tell you, while you enjoy safety, it doesn’t come for free.”
"What do you want?" At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly said loudly. Speaking at this time was obviously a provocation.
"I knew things wouldn't go so smoothly," Tang Tian said inwardly, without getting angry, and said calmly, "When you enjoy this kind of security, you will have to pay a price. Don't worry, it's not that serious. It's all within your reach."
Tang Tian didn't pay attention to the person who spoke just now, and completely ignored him. It was enough to explain what he said clearly, and there was no need to spend time entangled in such trivial matters.
"Now there are two paths in front of you. One is to hand in enough magic coins according to your level, so that you can stay here and enjoy this kind of peace. Considering the different strengths of everyone, the conditions for obtaining mysterious coins Each person is different, and the regulations are as follows. Each person basically pays ten gods and demon coins, and then one to five levels, and one more gods and demons coin for each level up, five to ten levels, and ten more gods and magic coins for each level. Magic coins!"
After finishing speaking, Tang Tian glanced at the crowd below, and said coldly: "Do you think there are too many? Hehe, I forgot to tell you that this is the amount to be handed in every day, and no one can be an exception!"
"It's too much, it's simply not something we can afford."
"That is, everyone knows how difficult it is to hunt mutant beasts and zombies, and everyone knows how difficult it is to obtain God and Demon Coins. What you stipulate is simply not something we can bear."
"If you want money, but if you have one, just come and get it."
After Tang Tian finished speaking, the pot started immediately, and there were all kinds of shouts, all accusing Tang Tian of having too high a tax, which they could not bear.
Hearing the clamor of the people below, Tang Tian did not get angry, but gestured to the soldiers in the audience with his eyes.
Woo~~!
Receiving Tang Tian's signal, the soldiers below immediately blew their horns again, and the desolate horn immediately drowned out everyone's voices.
Suddenly, the scene became quiet again.
"Hmph, you all know that the gods and magic coins are difficult to get? But do you know how much I paid to build this novice village? It's a joke, as long as you have the courage, zombie mutants of the same level are not invincible. Okay, there is a second way for you to go, and that is to get the hell out of Shijia Village now," Tang Tian said silently, completely ignoring the emotions of those people.
Tang Tian also thought in his heart that although it is really cruel to collect such a heavy tax, he still wants to do this. Without him, the construction of the military camp and even the entire Shijia Village will require a lot of gods and demon coins. out on these people.
And Tang Tian is not afraid of these people leaving. He is not like those forces in Tianshui City who need these people. As long as he has enough God and Demon Coins, he can upgrade the barracks and summon endless soldiers. The existence of these people Simply dispensable.
In this way, why care about the emotions of these people?
"We have no money and strength, but we don't want to leave, what should we do?" Hearing Tang Tian's cold words, suddenly someone below spoke loudly.
"What I'm waiting for is your words..." Hearing these words, a strange smile appeared on Tang Tian's face!
