Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1492 - 15: Harvest and Cultivation, Du Yun’s Attention, Nanluo 185!_2

The tax rate for Yu Tianqing as an outsider is fixed, no matter how much he earns, even if it's just a dime, 45% will be deducted.

It sounds harsh, but the Yuanhai Ancient Country is already considered quite reasonable.

Other ancient countries either do not allow foreigners into the Illusion God Star System or charge even more!

Some ancient countries even sell tickets to enter the Illusion God Star System and designate exploration areas that are practically barren, specifically targeting those from major dynasties seeking profits.

Exploitation is everywhere, but in Yu Tianqing's eyes, the Yuanhai Ancient Country is still somewhat conscientious!

"Alright." Cang Yu nodded, a gleam flashed in his eyes as the complex calculations and transactions were instantly completed. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Swish~" Cang Yu waved his hand, and all the materials vanished instantly.

The four recipients of the money and merit points immediately thanked Cang Yu, then returned to their rented place on the 20th Star Sky Fortress.

"4.683 billion, after deducting 805 million in taxes, we now have 3.878 billion in our account."

"As per the previous agreement, I get 1.939 billion, but since the merit points all belong to me, I took 300 million less to share with you, getting 1.639 billion."

"Yu Tianqing gets 1.0695, Le Yao and Hua Zi each get 584.75."

After confirming there were no issues, Le Yao spent three days navigating the system to set up an ancient country account guaranteed by the Purple God Mansion for Yu Tianqing.

Then the four transferred funds to each other, successfully completing the distribution.

When the money safely landed in their bags, all four of them breathed a sigh of relief.

After more than two hundred years, they hadn't had quarrels, encountered danger, and each made a decent sum.

It was already quite remarkable.

After this round of splitting the money, everyone felt a closer bond.

"Next, each can relax, eat as they please, and enjoy a bit." Zhao Xing smiled. "I'm not planning any missions recently, I'll notify you all in at least 50 years."

"Only fifty years?" Cen Qionghua exclaimed: "I was hoping to goof off for a hundred years!"

"If you want to play, go ahead!" Le Yao pushed Hua Zi, "I want to earn money; with one less person, there's more for us to split."

"Hey, don't, Immortal." Cen Qionghua hurriedly said: "I was just kidding, I'll follow Mr. Zhao's arrangements!"

"Look at you!"

"Haha."

All three laughed, even Yu Tianqing couldn't help but smile.

"Meeting adjourned!"

After Zhao Xing finished speaking, Le Yao and Cen Qionghua quickly left.

Only Yu Tianqing remained, seemingly in a daze.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Zhao Xing asked with a smile. "The Spirit Gathering Array here is for one person, there's no place for you to stay."

"I..." Yu Tianqing opened his mouth.

"You feel it's a bit unreal, don't you?" Zhao Xing smiled.

Yu Tianqing nodded, his voice low:

"208 years ago, I was still sitting in prison, life or death decided by fate. Now I have ten billion Yuanhai Coins..."

"My friend, fate is just that marvelous; perhaps you'll lead the Pang Ze Dynasty to become a force to reckon within the Xuanling Star Domain someday."

"Me?" Yu Tianqing chuckled.

Zhao Xing patted Yu Tianqing's metal shoulder, feeling the unsatisfactory texture after two taps: "Your shoulder is so hard, 'Type Beta of the Ignoble Battle Body' doesn't suit you."

"If you're not sure what to do, since you have money now, start by getting yourself some new gear."

Yu Tianqing nodded and stood up.

"Remember, you can preview first, but don't rush to buy yourself. Consult me, Le Yao, Hua Zi for procurement, it might save you some money."

"Got it." Yu Tianqing stopped at the door, "Thank you, Zhao Xing."

"You're welcome."

...

The first thing Zhao Xing did, once he got money, was to pay off his debts!

On the Tiger Head Star Land, there's obviously a Yuanhai Palace branch.

The day he received the money, he immediately visited the branch.

"Borrowed 1 billion 210 years ago, now it's 3.1 billion with principal and interest."

"I knew this ancient country money wasn't easy to borrow."

If it weren't for an imminent task, typically no one would borrow.

The timing of Yuanhai Palace's promotion was excellent, just when Zhao Xing was in the Original Realm, ready to make his mark.

The ancient country also has a type of loan called 'war loan,' specifically targeting those grand dynasties engaged in war.

The interest rate is even more terrifying!

During a certain period of the Xia Dynasty, stationed in the Fran Dynasty's Yuan Cave Star System, annihilated by the Yate Dynasty. That Yate Dynasty borrowed a war loan from a certain ancient country.

After painstakingly wiping out the Fran Dynasty, they found out ninety percent of the benefits went into the ancient country's coffers.

No choice, after wiping it out they could only hastily abandon pursuit and issued a lenient policy, inviting citizens of the Fran Dynasty back to farm together.

The ancient country did nothing yet squeezed out the foundations of two dynasties.

"They could have robbed directly, yet opted to lend money to the grand dynasties first, claiming adherence to the Ancient Kingdoms Alliance's pact, refraining from targeting grand dynasties." Looking at his account dwindling by 3.1 billion, Zhao Xing grumbled internally.

"Thirteen billion three hundred and ninety million remaining." Zhao Xing gazed at the account balance. "First repay some to the Great Zhou Treasury account."

Previously, he withdrew fifty million from the Great Zhou Treasury, Zhao Xing kept it in mind.

The development of his hometown is still crucial, not just talking about solidarity, but his family and friends reside there too.

"Let's check things out first."

The Great Zhou Treasury account is also under Zhao Xing's name.

But after he left, it was managed by Meng Kun.

Zhao Xing inspected the treasury account's income and expenses, slightly surprised.

"Huh? Great Zhou already reached a balanced budget?"

"Oh, it was remittances from Cloud Sky Dao and Liu Tianning."

The Great Zhou Treasury balance now returned to over 200 million.
