Chapter 231 New Tax Policy
"Ah?"
"I protest!"
Although Bai Hexiu didn't know what had just happened, protesting was definitely the right choice at this moment.
"Protest is invalid!" Gao Qiang rejected Bai Hexiu's protest without hesitation.
"Well, since you have made up your mind, please follow me next."
Henry stood up and signaled the adjutant with his eyes to lead the way.
The adjutant nodded in understanding, and then led everyone to the top of Yongle Pass.
With the thickness of this dam, even if hundreds of people walked side by side on the top of this dam, they would not feel crowded at all.
Unfortunately, the position that was once used to place the giant cannon has all turned into a charred piece.
Standing on a piece of pure land that had not been bombed, Henry took out the share documents and looked at the sea below.
Because the sea fortress was attacked, at this moment, in addition to the ceasefire guard fleet, there were several fleets belonging to the company to come to support.
But what they didn't expect was.
Even though they came fast enough, the general office was still attacked by Gao Qiang.
Lost the order of the board of directors.
When facing the century-old warship blocking the Yongle Pass, no captain chose to open fire.
Obviously, they were hesitating.
Now Henry took out the company's share documents, breaking the hesitation in their hearts.
As a captain who was mixed in the company's headquarters.
They were not unfamiliar with Henry, the governor.
It is better to say that sitting in such a high position, many people have a certain personal relationship with Henry, and no one can tell the relationship.
Now seeing that the person who took the company's share documents was Henry, even if many people were dissatisfied, they did not make any strange sounds.
But the next moment, a captain found that the warships on his side were quietly surrounding him.
Henry stroked his mustache and smiled.
As the governor of the company, it was not difficult to revolt a small number of captains through the company's network of relationships.
As early as when several nearby fleets were heading towards the sea fortress, he had tried to get in touch with some of the captains.
These people are not many in number, but the threat they pose is huge.
Because at this moment, except for Henry, no one else knew how many people had turned to Henry's side.
What if the majority of people turned, wouldn't they become traitors?
Many captains looked at each other from a distance and confirmed each other's eyes.
Well, it's hard to tell whether they are enemies or friends.
At this point, there is only one choice to ensure their own safety.
I saw a well-dressed captain walk to the bow, facing the position of Yongle Pass, take off the captain's hat, and slowly bow.
That's right, choosing to persist is to put the risk above the loyalty and conscience of others.
And this is exactly what the captains of the company lack the most.
Under the psychological game, the risk of turning against the enemy is the smallest. As long as everyone chooses to turn against the enemy, the risk of turning against the enemy will be directly reduced to zero.
In the end, it was as Henry expected.
All captains, including the Guards Fleet, finally chose to admit their status.
"Well, since everyone has no objection, I will announce the new law next!"
Henry took out a pre-written note.
"After I take office, the company will implement a new tax bill."
"On the basis of the original tax law, those who shelter foreigners will be taxed!"
"Those who hide foreigners privately will be taxed!"
"Those who see foreigners but do not take hostile measures will also be taxed!"
Hearing Henry's tax increase policy, many captains took a breath of cold air, and there was a silence on the sea.
But the next moment, Henry continued.
"Capture foreign lords, and each capture can be taxed."
Tax deduction?
Many captains were stunned.
How long has this terrifying word not appeared in the company's dictionary?
Such a vicious word, if Henry did not mention it today, no one would remember it at all.
"Are you serious?"
A captain shouted loudly.
Henry glanced at the direction of the person who spoke.
"Add one more thing, questioning the tax deduction bill will be taxed!"
Hearing Henry's words, the person who just questioned shut up obediently.
But at this point, many captains have understood Henry's determination.
It is conceivable that after today's words are spread, this sea will change.
After all, in this sea, even plundering needs to be taxed!
Only under the company's rules can you understand how great the temptation of tax deduction is.
From now on, the lords of the blood clan and the sea clan will no longer be ordinary lords, but walking tax deduction coupons.
As long as the company does not fall.
No governor, pirate or merchant can resist this temptation.
......
"Where are our enemies hiding?"
On the Phoenix, Mike, holding a new pipe, angrily scolded his generals.
It has been a long time since the siege.
Because of the emergence of the century ship, the military's losses are less than expected.
After reuniting the leadership, Mike did not hesitate to summon thousands of military lords and swept towards the nine major waterways.
This time, even if he was besieged by three parties again, Mike could barely guarantee his superior firepower.
However, what Mike did not expect was.
When he tried to find the vampire and sea clan lords, he couldn't find them?
On a vast sea.
The vampires and sea clans, which had been rampant for several years, seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth, and the intelligence department couldn't find any news.
"It's the company."
A voice came from behind Mike.
Yuloy walked slowly to Mike's side and told him the intelligence collected by the special forces.
"The company has issued a policy of using the vampire and sea clan lords to offset taxes, which has led to a hunting craze on the sea."
"In addition to governors, merchants, and pirates from all over the world, even adventurers have joined this grand carnival."
"That is to say, for now, there are too many monks and too little meat, and those lords should not have a share for us."
Listening to Yuloy's words, Mike fell into silence.
He had been lying on straw and eating bitter food for several years, and now he was told that he couldn't use the superior firepower?
This made Mike feel like he had been accumulating energy for a long time, but ended up punching cotton.
At this time, the prompt sound of the war game came.
[In this war game, the number of surviving lords is less than 50%, and the victory condition of the war is about to be triggered. ]
"I didn't expect it to end so soon."
In the main mansion, Gao Qiang raised his head and looked out the window.
The time when the victory of the war begins to be judged is when the number of surviving lords is less than 40%.
At this moment, under Yongle Pass, slave ships full of iron cages drove in, and the iron cages were full of blood clan and sea clan lords.
