"I can only tell you that if you join the Cheng family, you will have a chance to get the Cheng family's mission.
If you don't join the Cheng family, it is absolutely impossible to get the opportunity to issue Cheng family tasks. "City Lord Zhou said calmly.
"Then I really want to know, after the Baicheng Alliance surrendered to the Cheng family, why did it get the Cheng family's mission?" Lord Hai asked.
"As for this question, you will naturally have the opportunity to know it after you join the Cheng family. It is impossible for me to tell you now!" City Lord Zhou shook his head with a smile.
Although the Baicheng Alliance paid more resources to the Cheng family, he would not tell them clearly.
If they really want to know, let's wait until they join the Cheng family, otherwise there's no need to talk!
“City Lord Zhou, if you want to say that, then I’m afraid we all won’t be able to help you open all the gates.
However, we can provide another option for the Cheng family! "Wu Yun said again.
"Oh? What choice is that?" City Lord Zhou raised his eyebrows and looked at City Lord Wu and asked.
Now that these city lords have arrived in Qingyang City, he is not in a hurry.
Because he was confident enough to make everyone present agree to open the gate. However, since these people wanted to play with him, then he would have a good time with them.
In this world, strength must speak for itself after all, so no matter how many methods they have, they are simply not worth mentioning in the face of absolute strength.
However, he still wanted to hear what these people thought.
At this time, even the other city lords also set their sights on City Lord Wu. Obviously, they did not know what other ideas City Lord Wu had come up with.
After all, they had not discussed these contents before, so they did not know what Lord Wu City had planned.
However, although they didn't like City Lord Wu speaking too aggressively before, now Lord Wu is fighting for the interests of everyone, so everyone is full of expectations for Lord Wu.
"It's very simple. Our border must continue to be blocked. However, we are not such unreasonable people.
Especially with the Cheng family, although we are not too close to the Cheng family, this distance actually seems very close to the entire world of cultivation.
Therefore, we have always regarded the Cheng family as neighbors. Now because we have blocked the border, it is really inconvenient for many people to get in and out of Cheng's house.
However, we will never do things so absolutely, so we are willing to open these gates.
It's just that these people need to pay a certain tax when entering and exiting the customs.
But we can assure the Cheng family that we will definitely provide more favorable customs clearance tariffs to those who accept the Cheng family's mission.
As long as everyone pays these taxes, we will never hinder their passage.
I think other city lords won’t have any objections to this method, right? "Wucheng Lord said with a smile.
"No, no, I think City Lord Wu's approach is indeed very reasonable. City Lord Zhou, you should also be able to understand the difficulties we all face. After all, if we do nothing, a large number of people will be lost from our sphere of influence every day. In this way No one can bear the loss.
If the Cheng family is willing to hand over the task to us and release it together, the problem can also be solved.
But now the Cheng family has not given us this opportunity, so I think Lord Wu's method should be appropriate.
As long as these people are willing to pay a certain amount of taxes, we will never make it difficult for anyone, and we will even ensure their safe entry and exit at all checkpoints! "Yunlai City Lord was the first to stand up and support.
Maybe being able to get the Cheng family's task is what they look forward to most in cooperating with the Cheng family.
It's just that the Cheng family is obviously unwilling to do this. In this case, they can only settle for the next best thing.
Now if they want to collect taxes from everyone leading to the White City Alliance, it can indeed make up for a lot of losses for all alliances.
Moreover, because the Cheng family was on duty, even if they had to collect customs clearance taxes, they were not afraid that these people would not come.
After all, a little tax is nothing compared to the benefits gained from the Cheng family's mission.
"Yes, we all agree with this method. This is indeed the most appropriate method!" Everyone was also overjoyed.
This method of City Lord Wu can be said to be very popular.
Especially after being refused cooperation by the Cheng family, they could not continue to suffer losses like this.
It doesn't matter if these people want to enter the Cheng family, but they need to pay taxes. In this case, as long as people continue to come in and out of the Cheng family, they can continue to collect taxes.
Based on this calculation, they may be able to slowly make back all the money they lost.
Moreover, this does not affect everyone's entry into the Cheng family. I believe that at this time, the Cheng family has no reason to say anything anymore, right?
"But I don't agree!" But just when all the city lords were excited about Lord Wu's method, City Lord Zhou suddenly spoke.
All the city lords turned their attention to City Lord Zhou. Obviously, his voice was somewhat inappropriate and affected the interests of everyone else. Naturally, everyone was very dissatisfied with him.
It's just that City Lord Zhou didn't care about the unkindness in these people's eyes towards him.
"City Lord Zhou, we have taken a step back towards the Cheng family. What we are doing now can be said to have found a step for everyone. Your Cheng family will not lose people, and we will not lose resources.
If you, the Cheng family, still don't give up, is that really going too far? "Yunlai City Lord frowned and said very dissatisfied.
"My Cheng family has no losses? You guard all the gates and then charge taxes on everyone. People who used to be able to enter and exit at various gates now have to spend money to come in and out. Do you think there will be so many people coming? The Cheng family?
Therefore, you are harming the interests of my Cheng family, and of course we will not agree! "City Lord Zhou said calmly.
"These people have passed through our territory in the first place. Now we have to collect taxes from everyone who comes in and out of our territory. It seems that your Cheng family can't control it, right?" City Lord Hai also said.
"I've made it very clear to you since I came in. If you don't harm the interests of my Cheng family, then our Cheng family will never bully others.
If someone wants to harm the interests of our Cheng family, it is absolutely impossible for our Cheng family to let it go.
Although these gates are indeed on your territory, our Cheng family must ensure that all gates are open.
If any of the gates are blocked, then we can only open these gates ourselves. " City Lord Zhou said.
"City Lord Zhou, if you say that, are you really going to push all of us to a dead end?" City Lord Wu said coldly.
This week the city lord is really unlikable, he refuses to give in at all and doesn't give them any way to survive.
If we really let it go and allow everyone to enter and exit freely, then they will definitely lose a lot of people in the alliance.
Now if they want to charge customs fees, many people will definitely be unwilling to enter the Cheng family.
Moreover, even those who enter the Cheng family may still leave the Cheng family through these gates.
In that case, they would basically be able to collect two taxes. If we include them returning to the Cheng family to hand in tasks, they would be able to collect three taxes.
Calculated in this way, this tax is definitely a very considerable income.
If the Cheng family didn't let them do this, they would really be denying them any capital to survive.
"I just hope that you can see the situation clearly. For such a small benefit, a complete break with our Cheng family may not be a good thing for your alliances, right?" City Lord Zhou kindly reminded.
In fact, from the starting point of each alliance, it is understandable for them to do so.
The fault is that their strength is not as good as the Cheng family. If their strength is stronger than the Cheng family, or equal to the Cheng family.
If the Cheng family can't do anything about them, then there must be no problem with this matter.
But when the Cheng family has the power to absolutely crush them, these things become problematic.
Their actions have indeed harmed the interests of the Cheng family. Since the Cheng family has the strength to let them change everything, why should they tolerate it and let them harm the interests of the Cheng family?
Therefore, this world is based on strength, not fairness or unfairness.
If you don't have strength, no one will look up to you, and naturally there will be no fairness or unfairness.
Fairness only exists between two people or forces of equal strength.
There is no fairness at all to the weak.
Don’t the city lords of these alliances understand this? Of course they understand.
Because they also continued to expand their alliance to the current level step by step.
They have also relied on constantly crushing weak forces to get where they are today, so they have a deep understanding of this, but this time it is their turn.
But even if they knew this, they were still unwilling to give in and wanted to continue.
Because they feel that with so many alliances, it is also a very powerful force.
Although the Cheng family is powerful, they probably won't go to war with so many alliances over such a small matter, right?
After all, war will cost lives and a huge loss of resources. If it is not a last resort, no one will be willing to launch such a large-scale war.
It's just that they underestimated the Cheng family's strength and determination.
The Cheng family will never tolerate anything that harms its own interests.
pity? kindness?
This is not feasible in the world of cultivation. If the world of cultivation really had compassion and kindness, then there would not be so many grudges and resentments in the world of cultivation for so many years, and it would have become a peaceful place long ago.
