Family Cultivation: I Can Store My Ability To Understand

Chapter 253: Spirit Vein Taxes (2)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

At this point, Chen Dailian was a little angry.

The Spirit Management Department was responsible for collecting spirit vein usage taxes from merchants and itinerant cultivators, but they actually had no money. It was also strange.

Actually, Chen Daolan was not sure.

Every year, the Chen family would need to spend a lot of spirit stones just to maintain each spirit vein.

Nurturing and upgrading the spirit veins was even more costly.

More than ten years ago.

Shuanghu Island was a barren land with a radius of several thousand miles. Not to mention spirit veins, there weren’t even a few spirit eyes like duckweed.

In a short span of ten years.

Not only did Shuanghu Island have a Grade 3 spirit meridian, but the neighboring Redwood Island also cultivated a Grade 3 spirit meridian.

In addition, there were grade-1 and grade-2 spirit veins in the surrounding 1,000-mile sea area.

The number of spirit meridians that the Chen family possessed had already reached three digits.

In order to nurture so many spirit meridians in such a short period of time, a huge amount of spirit stones had to be invested.

It could be said.

The Spirit Management Department was the most expensive department in the Chen family.

The newly appointed Chen Daolan didn’t know the consumption of the Spirit Management Department. As the person in charge of the Chen family’s overall situation, Chen Daoxuan naturally knew how terrifying the consumption of the Chen family’s cultivation of spirit veins was.

He thought for a moment and said,” The Spirit Control Department will directly levy taxes on itinerant cultivators. The itinerant cultivators who are used to being free and undisciplined are naturally unwilling.

Actually, we can change the method and collect taxes from the freelance martial artists.”

“Another method?”

Chen Daolan was slightly stunned, not knowing what Chen Daoxuan meant.

“How does the Spirit Control Department collect spirit vein taxes from itinerant cultivators now?”

“Just like the merchants, we will collect them once a year according to the amount of time they spend in the spirit vein.”

Hearing this.

Chen Daoxuan shook his head.

The individual cultivators were all being deducted to death, so how could they obediently pay this tax?

When you really want to levy taxes, others will run away in advance.

In any case, the various immortal cities in Guang ‘an Prefecture were all recruiting itinerant cultivators to increase their popularity.

Did the Chen family still have the energy to catch these itinerant cultivators who ran away without paying taxes in advance?

If the itinerant cultivators were forced into a corner and fled collectively, the Seaview Immortal City might follow in the footsteps of the Azure Continent Immortal City and become a ghost city.

Therefore, it was not advisable to levy taxes by force.

Thinking of this, Chen Daoxuan had an idea and said,”Obviously, since this kind of tax is not desirable, we can change the method, such as selling spiritual houses to itinerant cultivators!”

” Selling the Spiritual Mansion?”

Chen Daolan was stunned, not knowing what Chen Daoxuan was up to.

“But Young Patriarch, according to the rules of the various immortal cities, spiritual houses have always been rented and not sold. Doesn’t selling spiritual houses mean selling spirit veins? At that time, will this spirit vein belong to my Chen family or to the wandering cultivators?”

“Besides, the price of a spiritual house is very high. How could an ordinary rogue cultivator afford so many spiritual stones?””

Only Chen Daoxuan could think of such a prodigal behavior.

Seeing Chen Daolan’s anxious look, Chen Daoxuan smiled and said,””Don’t be anxious.”

He cleared his throat and said slowly,”The price of the spiritual house is high. We can let the itinerant cultivators pay in installments.””

“Installments?”

Chen Daolan was attracted by Chen Daoxuan’s new term.

Although she didn’t know the meaning of paying in installments, she could roughly guess.

“Young Clan Leader, you mean that rogue cultivators only need to pay a small amount of spirit stones every year to own a spiritual house in Seaview Immortal City?”

“Yes!”

Chen Daoxuan nodded.

“But what if the secret practitioners don’t pay?”

“Then according to the contract, my Chen family naturally has the right to take back the spiritual house.”

“This…”

Chen Daolan frowned. She felt that this method was not very reliable, but she did not know how to refute it.

This was because for wandering wandering cultivators, having a spiritual land that completely belonged to them was the common wish of all wandering cultivators.

In fact, itinerant cultivators were at the bottom of the cultivation world.

Their lives were much more miserable than before the Chen family had made a name for themselves.

Not to mention cultivating the spirit meridians themselves, even if they went to the various immortal cities to leech on the spirit meridians for a few days, it would be like cutting off their flesh.

Especially before Guang ‘an Immortal Alliance was established.

The itinerant cultivators ‘lives were even more miserable. There would often be itinerant cultivators who would run to Guang’ an City to take advantage of the spirit vein during the day, but at night, they would be chased out of the city by the Zhou Clan cultivators.

After all, not every freelance cultivator had the courage to go to the Yun Nation battlefield to fight for their future.

“If I remember correctly, most of the spiritual houses in the Seaview Immortal City are empty, right?”

“It seems so.”

Chen Daolan nodded. Although she wasn’t in charge of the management of the Seaview Immortal City, she had heard about the empty spiritual residence.

The reason for this was because…

It was because itinerant cultivators disliked paying a large number of spirit stones every year, but they could only rent spiritual houses. It was not worth it.

Usually, only the disciples of the families who had been doing business in the Seaview Immortal City for a long time would rent a spiritual house in the Seaview Immortal City.

“You see, the wandering cultivators have such a great demand for spiritual houses, and so many of our spiritual houses are empty. Tell me, isn’t this a waste?”

“Young Clan Leader, no matter how wasteful it is, those Spiritual Houses still belong to my Chen Clan!”

“You have to look further ahead. Spiritual Houses are indeed a kind of resource for us, but they are not the resource that our Chen Family lacks the most.”

Hearing this, Chen Daolan lowered his head and started to think.

Since Chen Daoxuan valued her, she was naturally an intelligent person. She quickly understood Chen Daoxuan’s deep meaning.

“What do you think is the resource that the Chen family lacks the most?” Chen Daoxuan looked at her..”
