What Richard didn't know was that in the eyes of the Tianshan Tonglao, the value of gold, silver and wealth was also not high, and there was no other reason. Lingjiu Palace had no business talents!

The real economic pillar of major sects is actually the small peasant economy and self-sufficiency, which is also the reason why major sects tend to buy fertile land.

In the martial arts world, businessmen who do business are all humble professions. No businessmen or businessmen are either tyrants or businessmen. Even evil sects do not want to be businessmen. This is not to say that evil and devilish martial arts people have high moral qualities, but to do business without robbing money quickly...

Since you don’t engage in business activities, ordinary money will naturally become insignificant. If you don’t invest and do business, money will not make money. It’s better to buy a piece of land!

However, the northwest region is now all equalized by the Ming Dynasty. It is not impossible to buy land, but it requires an increased land tax!

That is to say, after the land property exceeds a certain area, there will be a threshold value, and each threshold value will significantly increase the tax ratio of land property.

This law is mainly used to curb land annexation and prevent the emergence of aristocratic families in the local area from affecting Richard's centralized system.

Part of the reason why Tantric Buddhism and Tianshan Sect rebelled was that this set of laws prevented them from having a free life of collecting rents while lying down...

Of course, no matter how much money the Ming court gave Lingjiu Palace could not be used to purchase land on a large scale. We can't let the disciples of Lingjiu Palace go to farm one by one...

If you do so, you will be self-sufficient enough...

But Tianshan Tonglao will never allow it!

What she wanted was the days when big landlords hired tenants and collected rents while lying down, so that the disciples of Lingjiu Palace could practice martial arts carefree!

In the past, Lingjiu Palace was suppressed by the Tianshan Sect, but the Tianshan Sect could not buy a large amount of land, so it could only develop the 36 caves and 72 island forces on the southeast coast to feed back.

Now that the talisman of life and death is about to be handed over, Lingjiu Palace is facing the crisis of losing its greatest source of wealth, so it naturally needs to find a new source of wealth for itself. With Tianshan Tonglao's superficial "financial management" common sense, she can only think that the path of collecting rent, making money while lying down will not affect the development of Lingjiu Palace.

"I need the Ming court to give our Lingjiu Palace a piece of land that does not require the new tax laws to support the disciples of Lingjiu Palace's food, clothing, housing and transportation."

The Tianshan Tonglao thought for a moment and came up with a request for a ‘special tax field’.

If it weren't for the concern that it would anger the Ming court, Tianshan Tonglao would even make a suggestion for a duty-free zone.

Of course, no matter how lonely and weak the Tianshan Tonglao knew that the court was very disgusted with the word "tax exemption" and rationally did not make excessive demands.

It’s a pity that Tianshan Tonglao’s request is too much!

This is not just a problem of some land tax reduction, but a trampling on the Ming court’s new tax law!

More importantly, Richard knew very well that the root cause of the formation of local forces was nothing more than the relationship between people and land.

Once a certain force owns a large area of ​​land and a large number of tenants on it, it will naturally develop into a local force.

Ordinary landlords and gentry can rely on land to develop into a wealthy family like local snakes, let alone the martial arts sect that holds a knife?!

Richard's original plan was to gradually turn the major martial arts sects into rootless duckweed, artificially stripped off their land. Without land, there would be no large number of tenants and farmers, and the martial arts sects would naturally never be able to confront the court.

Now the request made by Tonglao Tianshan is against the rules. The Ming Dynasty officials who were personally instructed by Richard suddenly turned down and replied unhappily: "The land is OK, but the new tax law must be followed. This is the law set by my Ming Dynasty. No one can change it except the emperor!"

After hearing this, Tianshan Tonglao couldn't help but say angrily: "Do you think I can't count? According to the new tax law, the more land you give you, the more I will lose!

You Ming court should not bully people too much, don’t think of making a fortune by yourself!”

Tianshan Tonglao still has a long-term vision and knows that asking for some gold, silver and wealth is just a behavior of consuming the whole country, which is harmful to the future of Lingjiu Palace!

Instead of letting Lingjiu Palace have no future, it is better to fight!

As long as you break out of the siege and return to Piaomiao Peak, you don’t have to face the Ming court’s army.

As for the commanders of the Jinyiwei, there were many casualties this time. At that time, all the power of Lingjiu Palace may not be able to be blocked by relying on the terrain advantage.

After all, there is no real master of the innate realm in the Ming court.

In anger, Tianshan Tonglao's original fear of the Ming court had long been thrown out of the sky...

Because of the problems with the girl's appearance, the Tianshan Tonglao was already a perverse personality. When she was angry, she had not waited for the Ming Dynasty officials in front of her to react, and then printed it with one palm.

Then, the Ming Dynasty official exploded on the spot with a confused look on his face...

The body of an ordinary person hits the energy that is released from outside, and there is only one way to explode...

The chaotic blood rain spread all over the earth, and the front-line officers of the field army who had been preparing for combat immediately issued an order to shoot arrows!

All the archers who were ready to wait all shot out the rain of arrows, instantly covering the sun in the sky!

The remaining gang members of the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands looked at the arrows covering the sky in despair, and had no time to dodge...

Even if the female disciples of the Nine Heavens and Nine Division formed a unique defensive array of Lingjiu Palace to stimulate mysterious power, they were quickly defeated by the endless rain of arrows!

With the army firing thousands of arrows at once, these martial arts people didn't even have the chance to fight in close combat!

After seeing this scene, Tianshan Tonglao's eyes were instantly dyed red with blood. Jade Rain could not even penetrate her body-protecting true energy, so naturally it did not cause any harm to her.

The Tianshan Tonglao was like a human-shaped cannonball, and she crashed into the front shield and spear phalanx in an unreasonable posture, smashing the seemingly solid spear phalanx into the front!

"Tianshan Plum Break Hands!

I am the only one in the Eight Desolations and Six Miles!”

The gorgeous energy was accompanied by the continuous roars of the Tianshan Tonglao. The officers and soldiers of the field army could not help but remember the horror of besieging the innate master of the Tantric Buddhism. At that time, the auxiliary army acted as the main force on the front line, and the field army acted as the supervisory team. Many soldiers of the field army witnessed the terror of the innate master with their own eyes!

The Tianshan Tonglao in front of her exploded with all her strength at the beginning, and she didn't know how to save her true energy at all. Naturally, she killed the field army with one person...

The first square formation collapsed quickly and fled in scattered areas. Then the second and third square formations were destroyed because of fear...

However, the Tianshan Tonglao did not see the position. The disciple of the Lingjiu Palace who was shot at ten thousand arrows at once was killed by hundreds of commanders of the Jinyiwei, and his legs were broken one by one like a lamb!

Of course, the fierce resistance was killed on the spot!
Chapter completed!
