Chapter 459: Palace Negotiations (4K)

Hong Yifeng and Ning Fengzhi were not surprised at the shock of everyone, because when they knew before, they were as shocked as these people now.
After all, this kind of thing is a bit beyond everyone's understanding, and it is simply the realm of God.
In this regard, Thanos did not say much, and nodded: "The matter of the captives is set. Let's continue to discuss the development of the alliance. The establishment of the branch will also be on the agenda."
"There is also Elder Xueyang, there is your seat, there are some information about the alliance on it, you can check it out, and you can make comments after reading it."
"Oh," Bai Xueyang responded blankly.
"Okay, let's continue..." Thanos slapped everyone's attention once again.
Soon, in the conference hall, heated discussions rang again, but this time, there was something different, and everyone had a little more respect for Thanos.
After knowing Bibi Dong's arrangements, Lin Feng's planning efficiency can be improved.
In addition to the plan of the Soul Master Alliance, he still needs to do one thing, and that is to find Emperor Xue Ye.
If the Soul Master Alliance didn't have much ambitions, and just unified the Soul Master Realm, Lin Feng could completely ignore the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
He can be a third-party superpower just like the current Wuhun Temple.
But it is a pity that Lin Feng's goal is the entire continent, not the pure soul master world.
Therefore, if the Soul Master Alliance wants to accomplish the ultimate goal, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family is the hurdle they must overcome!
The two are opposites, and there is no coexistence.
But now, Lin Feng went to find Emperor Xue Ye just to talk about the Soul Master Alliance.
After all, many of the things their alliance planned to do had touched on the core interests of the Heaven Dou Empire, and he had to solve this problem.
Otherwise, when their Soul Master Alliance establishes branches in major cities, not only will they have to guard against Wuhun Hall's counterattacks, but also against Emperor Xue Ye.
If he can figure this out now, he only needs to look at the Spirit Hall.
Of course, Lin Feng didn't want to directly annex the Heaven Dou Empire, or manipulate the royal family or something.
The timing is not right now. You have to wait until the Spirit Hall is destroyed before you can consider the affairs of the two empires.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng came to the gate of the palace.
He didn't come here as a private person, but came to negotiate as the foreign affairs elder of the Soul Master Alliance.
The elder of foreign affairs is the elder who specializes in the foreign affairs of Lin Feng, so it can be regarded as Lin Feng's position in the alliance.
And because of his status as a deacon of the Marvel family, coupled with the excellent relationship with Ning Fengzhi and Tang San, Lin Feng's status in the Soul Master Alliance is still very high.
The news of the arrival of the Soul Master Alliance had been notified to Emperor Xue Ye, and he was also very solemn about this, and sent Prince Xue Qinghe to greet him personally.
At this time, Lin Feng had just arrived at the gate, and Xue Qinghe, who was waiting for a while, walked out together, accompanied by several imperial servants.
"Elder Lin Feng, Your Majesty is already waiting for you, please inside." Xue Qinghe arched his hand towards Lin Feng.
It's an office job now. Although the two have personal relationships, they didn't show too much at this time.
"His Royal Highness leads the way." Lin Feng smiled lightly, and he didn't say much.
In this way, under the leadership of Xue Qinghe, Lin Feng walked towards the palace.
The so-called imperial palace is actually a city within Tiandou City, which is very similar to the Forbidden City of the previous life.
In the past, although Lin Feng had explored the palace more than once, he generally only paid attention to the two Title Douluos.
Walking on this palace avenue like now is a different kind of experience.
The white marble is laid directly on the road. When walking, the soles of the shoes collide with the ground and there will be a ‘kick’ sound.
There are trees and flowers around, and the pavilions are scattered in the distance, and they look very seductive.
I have to say that the nobles and royal families in the Douluo world will still enjoy it very much. How much gold soul coins will cost these arrangements.
Of course, this idea just passed away in Lin Feng's mind.
The group of people walked slowly, and on the way Xue Qinghe was still explaining some of the decorations of the palace to Lin Feng.
In the end, after about ten minutes, Xue Qinghe led Lin Feng to the outside of a large courtyard with high walls.
"Your Majesty is waiting in the courtyard, Elder Lin Feng, let me go in."
With that, Xue Qinghe waved at the guards, motioning them to wait here.
"Let's go." Nodded, Lin Feng followed Xue Qinghe to the courtyard.
The layout here is a bit more luxurious than the outside. There are precious trees and flowers planted everywhere, and even Lin Feng saw a moon tree.
That's right, it's the kind of Little Moon's body, but the tree in front of you has no spirit power fluctuations, it's just an ordinary plant.
It seems that Lin Feng was attracted by the surrounding scenery, Xue Qinghe explained: "This is your Majesty's backyard. Generally, it only receives important people, so it costs a lot."
In this backyard, these flowers and trees are valuable. In terms of cost, it is estimated that it will cost more than 100,000 Gold Soul Coins.
Don't think one hundred thousand is not too much. You have to know that this is just a courtyard. The money spent to build this entire palace was in the hundreds of millions.
"So that's it." Lin Feng nodded, and understood.
At this time, the two also came to the open space in front of the yard.
"Elder Lin Feng of the Soul Master Alliance, really young and worthwhile..." In the clearing, Emperor Xue Ye laughed loudly.
On the side, Tiefang Douluo stood quietly by his side.
As for the other Dark Wolf Douluo in the palace, he was cultivating in the secret room at this time, preparing to break through the ninety-third level.
"I have seen Your Majesty Xueye." Lin Feng gave a slight salute, looking neither humble nor overbearing.
There is a square table in the middle of the open space, with some fruits and food on it, which is obviously prepared.
At this time, Xue Ye stretched out his hand and turned to the table and said, "Elder Lin Feng, please sit down. Let's eat and say, so relax."
"You're polite." Lin Feng said politely, but his feet didn't stop, and he got into a chair.
Seeing this, Xue Ye sat opposite Lin Feng with a smile on his face.
As for Xue Qinghe and Tiefang Douluo, they didn't take a seat, they just stood quietly not far away.
This time the two talked, although they didn't say anything, but it must be very important, so the two sides are still relatively standardized.
"Ming people don't talk secretly, Your Majesty Xue Ye, our Soul Master Alliance sent me to talk to the Empire today. Actually, the purpose is very simple, that is, I want your Majesty to give our Soul Master Alliance some special treatment."
As soon as he took his seat, Lin Feng spoke, without the slightest politeness.
Hearing this, Xue Ye Great Emperor looked kind, but in his heart it was MMP.
He knew that Lin Feng would definitely not be here today to talk about anything good, but can he refuse?
If he could refuse, when the Soul Master Alliance was established yesterday, he had already taken the 10,000 Soul Master Legion to make trouble.
The fact is that he can't refuse!
The Soul Master Alliance can be regarded as a general trend in the soul master world. The Marvel Family, the Clear Sky School, the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus, etc., countless soul master forces have joined it.
If Emperor Xue Ye dared to stop it, it would be equivalent to being hostile to most of the spirit master world.
As a result, it is estimated that the entire Tiandou Empire will be in turmoil, and it will end up with a loss for both sides.
Now allowing the existence of the Soul Master Alliance is nothing more than his helpless move.
Big deal, there will be one more "Wuhundian", and then again, this may be a good thing.
After all, the Soul Master Alliance is a soul master force within the Heaven Dou Empire, and many of the leaders of the forces Xue Ye knew it.
If they can destroy the Spirit Hall, perhaps the Heaven Dou Empire can take this opportunity to unify the entire continent.
In the heart of Emperor Xueye, he never thought that the Soul Master Alliance would replace the Heaven Dou Empire.
Not only him, except Tang San and Lin Feng, even Masters and Ning Fengzhi, including all the members of the Soul Master Alliance, probably would not have such thoughts.
After all, the Heaven Dou Empire is their motherland in their hearts, and they will not overthrow it.
And the purpose of joining the Soul Master Alliance is only for the things in the alliance, and at the same time, it can unite to resist the Spirit Hall.
Of course, these are just the short-term thoughts of these people. After a long time, they are bound by the Soul Master Alliance.
Manipulating them will become very simple. Lin Feng only needs to use the contribution points to easily let the soul master do things for him.
Even things like overthrowing the Heaven Dou Empire were not difficult.
"Preferential treatment? I don't know what kind of preferential treatment is?" Xue Ye asked.
"I hope that your Majesty can give the Soul Master Alliance a five-year tax exemption period. At the same time, the alliance will open a branch in the Tiandou Empire in the future. I hope that your Majesty will not interfere!"
Soul masters, as an extremely special profession, enjoyed preferential treatment no matter in the Star Luo Empire or the Heaven Dou Empire.
And the Soul Master Alliance, as a soul master strength, itself also has many privileges.
However, Lin Feng felt that these were not enough, especially regarding taxation. Lin Feng must negotiate well.
Otherwise, their Soul Master Alliance is equivalent to working for the Heaven Dou Empire, which is absolutely unacceptable to Lin Feng.
As for the intervention of the branch, the importance will be less.
After all, the emperor is far away, and the Tiandou imperial family has the greatest control over Tiandou City. As for other principalities, kingdoms, and cities, it is difficult to control them in real time.
And in these places, as long as Lin Feng mastered the local spirit master power, everything else was nothing.
"I really encourage the establishment of branches in the Heaven Dou Empire. As the Soul Master Alliance grows stronger, the strength of our Heaven Dou Empire will be stronger!"
With that, Xue Ye changed his words, "But is it a bit wrong to directly exempt taxes for five years? I think it's okay to cut taxes by half in five years."
Within the Tiandou Empire, whether it is an ordinary person or a soul master, or a soul master force, a family, etc., anyway, as long as they are residents of the Tiandou Empire, they are all taxed.
These taxes are the foundation of the nation, and it is impossible to pay them.
Of course, because of different identities and different types of taxes, the amount of tax paid by each person or force is also different.
Generally speaking, the land tax for ordinary people is only 10%, but the commercial tax is as much as 20%.
The tax will be halved for the soul master, and the tax paid by the soul master power is between the soul master and ordinary people.
However, they do not have to pay land tax, and they are exempted from many miscellaneous taxes. They mainly pay 15% commercial tax. Some stronger forces, such as the previous three cases, only pay 8%.
And this low tax rate can also be enjoyed by some vassals.
Therefore, many spirit master forces, families, and so on, will choose a large force to vassalize.
For example, the power clan and the Min clan under the Haotian Sect at the beginning, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect also had more than a dozen vassal forces.
The vassal of these forces is due to the strength of the Clear Sky School and the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass School.
On the other hand, it is because of this low tax rate!
Regardless of the 7% difference between the two, if the number increases, this small 7% is also a huge wealth.
Therefore, this tax reduction or exemption is still very attractive.
As for the Soul Master Alliance, it was considered a super soul master force. After its establishment yesterday, Ning Fengzhi also took Tang San to the official registration.
And because of the previous three cases, the Soul Master Alliance directly enjoys an 8% tax policy, and miscellaneous taxes are also directly exempted.
In the case of the Star Luo Empire, the tax rate was similar to that of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Xue Ye now said that half of the tax for five years was exempted, which means that within five years of their Soul Master Alliance, the tax was only 4%.
This tax rate is actually extremely low. It can be said that such a low tax rate cannot be found in the entire empire.
However, Lin Feng wanted only one, and that was zero tax rate.
"Your Majesty, let's not talk about halving the five-year tax rate. Our Soul Master Alliance also takes a step back and reduces the tax rate for two years, can it?!"
Lin Feng's negotiation is skillful, and his goal is actually to reduce the tax rate for one year.
Because time is useless, he is sure to replace the Spirit Hall within a year, and their next goal will be the two empires.
At this time, the reason why he said five years was just to give himself a little retreat, and if he lowered the standard, Xue Ye also agreed more easily.
"Two years of tax exemption?" Xue Ye pondered for a while.
Then nodded and smiled: "Okay!"
This is just a simple math problem, 4% of the five years, that is 20%.
Now Lam Fung requires tax exemption for two years, and the tax rate for the next three years is 8%, which is a total of 24%.
This was 4% higher than Xueye's expectations, and he earned it.
"Your Majesty is really quick to talk, then it's settled. The Soul Master Alliance is tax-free for two years. Please draw up a document as soon as possible." Lin Feng's face was full of smiles.
"No problem." Xue Ye also smiled.
At this moment, Xue Ye felt that the negotiation was really easy, earning 4% with just one sentence.
But in Lin Feng's heart, he only felt that Xue Ye was too stupid and too foolish.
There are really few clever people in Douluo Continent.
