半兽人迦罗娜

After obtaining the Substitution Calamity, Chen Daoxuan did not delay any longer and bid farewell to Zhang Yu.

He watched Chen Daoxuan leave.

Zhang Yu’s eyes revealed a thoughtful look.

In the southwest sea area of the Infinite Star Sea.

Shuanghu Island, Guang ‘an Prefecture.

A streak of light streaked across the sky and landed outside the protective formation of Shuanghu Island.

Opening the protective array formation, Chen Daoxuan’s figure blended into the Tier 4 protective array formation like bubbles merging into a water curtain.

After returning to Shuanghu Island, Chen Daoxuan immediately spread out his divine sense.

In the blink of an eye, he locked onto his target.

In the Chen Clan Meeting Hall of Shuanghu Island.

These days, Chen Daolan only felt a headache.

Ever since she was appointed as the finance minister of the Chen family by the young clan leader, the cultivators of the Dao generation and the Fu generation in the clan came to her one after another to ask for funds from various departments.

For important departments such as the Military Department, the Ministry of Education, and the Magical Equipment Research Institute, Chen Daolan naturally did not dare to delay. She would not give any less funding.

However, some departments that had just been established had also asked her for a large sum of money, which gave Chen Daolan a headache.

This was especially true for the spirit vein management department that the family had just established.

The Spirit Vein Management Department, also known as the Spirit Vein Management Department, was responsible for managing all the spirit veins within the Chen family’s sphere of influence, including the use, maintenance, promotion, and collection of spirit vein taxes.

It could be said that this was a department with considerable power in the Chen family.

Putting aside the usage, maintenance, and promotion of the spirit vein, just the collection of the spirit vein tax gave the Spirit Management Department great power.

In reality.

The spirit vein tax of the Chen family’s spirit management department was a name he learned from the Qianyuan Sword Sect.

As the ruler of the Infinite Star Sea, the Qianyuan Sword Sect had adopted the method of spirit vein tax to collect taxes from the major cultivation families in the Infinite Star Sea, except for the areas directly under its jurisdiction.

The so-called spirit vein tax was levied according to the grade of each spirit vein.

The spirit vein tax of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect was collected once every ten years, and the tax started from the third grade spirit vein.

Based on the fact that the Chen family currently had two grade-3 spirit meridians.

Every grade 3 spirit vein had to pay 100,000 spirit stones to the Qianyuan Sword Sect every year.

Ten years would be a tax of two million spirit stones.

This tax burden was heavy.

This was also the reason why the Yang family of Guang ‘an Prefecture had the ability to cultivate a Tier 4 spirit meridian, but did not.

This was because the annual spirit vein tax for grade 4 spirit veins was as high as one million spirit stones. Ten years would be ten million spirit stones.

Ten million spirit stones was enough to buy a Zifu Disciple, which would add a Zifu Disciple to the clan.

The Yang Family naturally didn’t want to waste it like this.

Only the Zhou Clan, which had a deep foundation, could bear the burden of a grade-4 spirit vein.

The main reason why the Chen family collected the spiritual vein tax was that the target of collection was different from the Qianyuan Sword Sect.

The Qianyuan Sword Sect levied taxes on the cultivation families that owned the spiritual veins, while the Chen family levied taxes on the merchants and itinerant cultivators within their sphere of influence.

In fact, every immortal city had such a tax department.

Like the Immortal City of Guang ‘an Prefecture.

The Chens had to pay taxes to the Zhou Clan for their magic tool business in the wandering cultivator market.

The Yang Family had set up the Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance precisely because of this benefit.

Back then, in the entire Guang ‘an Prefecture, only the Guang’ an Prefecture Immortal City was the largest. Except for the fixed spirit vein tax for the Qianyuan Sword Sect, all the taxes paid by the itinerant cultivators and other families in Guang ‘an Prefecture belonged to the Zhou Family.

This naturally made the other great clans, led by the Yang family, dissatisfied.

Now, the Chen family had also established the Seaview Immortal City, so they naturally had to hold this part of the benefits in their hands.

The light descended.

Chen Daoxuan’s figure appeared in a side hall of the meeting hall.

He stepped into the side hall.

After a few turns, Chen Daoxuan found Chen Daolan, who was working at her desk.

There were a few young maidservants beside Chen Daolan who were helping her sort out all kinds of accounts.

“Young Clan Leader!”

When a maidservant saw Chen Daoxuan, she was stunned at first, but then she bowed in surprise.

Hearing the servant girl’s voice, Chen Daolan, who was busy with work, raised her head.

When she saw Chen Daoxuan, she quickly stood up and said in surprise,””Young Clan Leader, you have returned?”

Chen Daoxuan smiled and nodded, then waved to the servant girl in the room.

Seeing this.

The maidservants bowed and slowly retreated.

Chen Daoxuan walked to the chair opposite Chen Daolan and sat down. He waved his hand and said,”Why are you looking at me? Have a seat.”

Hearing this, Chen Daolan laughed and sat down.

“Looking at your sad face just now, why? Is it not easy to grasp the financial power of the family?”

As expected.

When Chen Dailian heard this, her little face wrinkled again and she said coquettishly,”Young Clan Leader, why don’t you transfer me back to the pharmaceutical factory? It’s much more worry-free there than here.”

“You,”

Chen Daoxuan pointed at the tip of Chen Daolan’s nose and shook his head.” I can’t be at ease. There aren’t many people in the family who have the qualifications and ability to make me feel at ease.

You are one of them, so you must help me manage the family finances.”

Hearing Chen Daoxuan’s praise, Chen Daolan’s originally wavering mind slowly became firm again.

“Yes.”

She nodded vigorously at Chen Daoxuan.

“Tell me, what kind of difficulties did you encounter?” Chen Daoxuan said with a smile.”

“It’s about the Spirit Control Department…”

Chen Daolan quickly told him about the problem the Spirit Management Department had encountered.

“You mean that the Spirit Control Department has been obstructed from collecting spirit vein taxes from itinerant cultivators?”

“Yes!”

Chen Daolan nodded..” The Spirit Control Department has been asking for money from the Ministry of Finance these days, saying that they don’t have the money to upgrade their spirit meridians!”
