Chapter 1741 Dragon Slaying Technique!

Faced with Chen Changsheng's words, the Lin Tianlang brothers didn't know what to say for a moment.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng waved his hand and said, "Stand up, no need to kneel."

"Since you are going to follow me, I will tell you a little bit about my habits in advance."

"I'm not used to people talking to me on their knees. I like people talking to me while standing."

"Because if you kneel, it means you have lost your dignity as a human being. I want a person with flesh and blood, not a cowardly and inferior slave."

"If I really need that kind of soulless flesh and blood, then you have no value in existing."

Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Lin Tianlang bowed and said, "I will follow your instructions!"

"You don't have to call me Sir, just call me Young Master."

"While we still have some time, I'd like to chat with you for a while."

"Perhaps after listening to what I have to say, you will have a little new perspective on your life."

As he spoke, he walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and the two brothers Lin Tianlang followed closely behind Chen Changsheng.

"Tianlang Village has been around for quite some time. Let me ask you, what is Tianlang Village's annual revenue?"

"what?"

Faced with this question, Lin Tianlang subconsciously cried out.

Because he originally thought that Chen Changsheng would ask him about the strength of Tianlang Village, but who would have thought that he would actually ask such a question.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng tilted his head to look at him and said, "Why, is this question of mine difficult?"

"Of course not, it's just that your question is a little unusual, Sir. Tianlang needs to think about it carefully."

"Then think hard about it, and tell me how much tax revenue Longmen City generates in a year."

Lin Tianlang's mind was working rapidly regarding Chen Changsheng's request, but before he could speak, Lin Yuan spoke first.

"In reply to your question, Sir, the annual revenue of Tianlang Village is approximately 80 million spirit stones."

"If exchanged at the government rate, it's worth about 260,000 Divine Sources. If exchanged at the private rate, it's worth about 160,000 Divine Sources."

"Longmen City's tax revenue is approximately 300 million spirit stones per year. According to the government's ratio, it is worth about one million divine sources."

"The exchange rate among the common people is about 600,000 Divine Sources."

"However, approximately 30% of these taxes went into the pockets of officials of all ranks in Longmen City."

After receiving Lin Yuan's answer, Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "It seems that you have a good understanding of taxation."

"Then let me ask you again, is it true that the tax revenue embezzled by Longmen City officials is only 30%?"

Facing Chen Changsheng's question, Lin Yuan thought carefully and said, "On the surface, it looks like 30%, but in fact, it's more than that."

"Longmen City only collects divine energy when collecting taxes, not spirit stones. If you want to pay taxes with spirit stones, you will also need to pay an additional half of the exchange loss."

"But in reality, they pocketed the extra half."

"As for the collected divine sources, they were also quietly exchanged for spirit stones."

"Yes, that's very accurate. Then do you know who Longmen City is exploiting with this practice?"

After hearing this, Lin Yuan was speechless for a moment, because he didn't know how to answer Chen Changsheng's question.

Looking at Lin Yuan's bewildered expression, Chen Changsheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said.

"Longmen City's actions are naturally exploiting you bandits."

"Although you are bandits, you are also cultivators. To be a cultivator you need to practice, and to practice you must use divine sources and spirit stones."

"The effect of cultivating the divine source is several times stronger than that of the spirit stone."

"In order to ensure that your cultivation does not fall behind others, you must cultivate with divine energy."

"Because only when your cultivation becomes strong will you have the chance to continue serving others as dogs and avoid being swallowed up by other strongholds."

"Besides that, this practice will further exploit the major chambers of commerce."

"Because in addition to paying taxes, the Chamber of Commerce also needs to pay you an additional toll."

"And these extra expenses will increase the price of goods, which will in turn be borne by the monks of this world."

"As long as you calm down and think carefully, you will find that in this entire cycle, the only ones who make money are the Chamber of Commerce and the imperial court."

"But the imperial court and the Chamber of Commerce have never tried to allocate some of these resources to you."

"What's even more despairing is that they've basically blocked all avenues for upward mobility, leaving you guys no chance of turning things around."

"Here......"

Listening to Chen Changsheng's answer, Lin Yuan wanted to say something.

But he found that he had nothing to say at this moment.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry too much. It's normal that you don't understand these things."

"Because this is the true art of dragon slaying, and no academy will teach you that."

"Most of the cultivators who have reached a high level in the cultivation world are useless because they don't know how to slay dragons."

"So no matter how high your cultivation level is, you can only be a chess piece on this chessboard."

"Sir, do you want us to learn the dragon-slaying technique and overthrow this corrupt society?"

Hearing this, flames ignited in Lin Yuan's eyes.

But Chen Changsheng smiled and shook his head and said, "The master can only lead you to the door, but the practice is up to you. The real dragon-slaying technique is not learned, but realized by yourself."

"You two brothers, if you want to learn this top-level dragon-slaying technique, it's basically hopeless in this lifetime."

After hearing this, Lin Yuan was dissatisfied and said, "If you don't teach me, how can you know that my two brothers can't learn it?"

"Lin Yuan!"

As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, Lin Tianlang scolded him harshly.

But Chen Changsheng smiled and raised his hand to stop Lin Tianlang, saying, "It's okay. I like ambitious young people like this."

"If you want to learn the art of dragon slaying, I can teach you, but how much you can understand is up to you."

"If you can truly understand the true meaning of this, then I wouldn't mind letting you become someone who possesses the art of slaying dragons."

"Or, I can give you someone else's seat."

Looking into Chen Changsheng's eyes, Lin Yuan said, "From what you said, Young Master, someone has already reserved that supreme position?"

"Yes, I chose this person myself."

"If you can prove that you are better than him, then this seat will be given to you."

"How can I prove that I am better than him?"

"It's simple. Convince him and make him admit that you are better than him."

Facing Chen Changsheng's request, Lin Yuan frowned and said, "Sir, don't you think such a request is impossible?"

"How could anyone in the world give up that supreme position?"

"If he refuses to obey, then I will never have a chance."
