Sovereign’s Great Path

This was definitely a new beginning for the Chaotic Capital. Of course, everyone was not concerned about who the mayor was, but how the mayor would deal with the issue of rent and taxes. After all, this was closely related to their own interests.    

In the past, the three powers had controlled the position of the City Lord and hadn't changed at all.    

It's different now.    

How would the new mayor decide on this tax issue?    

Everyone was waiting...    

Teng Yan did not care about the outside world at all. At this moment, he, Chu Fei and the others had already started moving to the City Lord's Mansion. The only things that Teng Yan and the others needed to take with them were some clothes and the ten million gold coins. Since Teng Yan did not deposit the gold coins in the Celestial Treasure Pavilion, he believed that he would be the safest one to take them. Of course, there was also that Raging Flames Magic Ape. Currently, it had already become a lot more "docile", and perhaps, it itself had already resigned itself to its fate.    

Third Cycle Martial Beast, the new City Lord.    

Teng Yan and the others naturally attracted a lot of people on their way to the City Lord's mansion, especially when they saw the ferocious Raging Flames Magic Ape's performance.    

The Third Cycle Martial Beast was actually so meek?    

This was too unbelievable.    

However, Teng Yan and his group did not care at all about the surrounding passersby's pointed fingers. On the way, they very quickly arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, and the vast structure immediately appeared in front of their eyes. Looking at the City Lord's Mansion Chu Fei and the others, they felt a wave of excitement.    

It was a magnificent building, several tens of thousands of square feet in area.    

Domineering!    

The City Lord's Mansion was definitely the most magnificent structure in the entire Chaotic Capital, but it had always been empty.    

Teng Yan and the rest stopped at the entrance of the City Lord's Palace, but they did not choose to enter, and instead stopped in their tracks. Teng Yan also instantly turned around to look at the people who came to spectate. At this moment, many people had already gathered at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion to watch, and a faint smile appeared on Teng Yan's face as he looked at these people.    

He just so happened to let these people help him advertise.    

"Everyone, this is my first time serving as the city lord of Chaotic Capital. In the future, I will need everyone's assistance in many things, I hope that everyone can help me build a prosperous city that will last for a long time. This young master will thank everyone here first." Teng Yan cupped his fists, and said to the hundred of people in embarrassment, at the same time, he did not forget to bow.    

This...    

The spectators were all stunned by Teng Yan's sudden action.    

So polite?    

You have to understand that in the past, when the three great powers controlled the City Lord's Mansion, they did not do so like Teng Yan, where the City Lord controlled the entire Chaotic Capital's revenue collection. The three great powers also did not view the citizens of the Chaotic Capital as human beings, and only treated them as targets for exploitation. At that moment, Teng Yan's actions had obviously won a good impression from many people.    

Unfortunately, all they cared about was taxes.    

There was no response at all, and the several hundred people watching all looked at Teng Yan in a daze.    

Hehe.    

Seeing the crowd's reaction, Teng Yan only smiled, "This young master has just accepted the position of city lord, the first thing I have to do is naturally to settle the issue of taxes." Following that, Teng Yan's indifferent voice sounded out, and a faint smile appeared on his face. At the same time, his deep eyes could not help but scan through everyone present, paying attention to their reactions.    

Shua shua shua …    

Sure enough, the moment Teng Yan talked about taxes, everyone stretched their necks and locked their sharp eyes on Teng Yan.    

There was nervousness, anticipation, and disdain.    

Taxation was definitely what most people cared about the most.    

"This young master is also from the North City, so he naturally knows that it's not easy for everyone." The reason why he said that he had come from the northern city was so that he could get closer to the people in front of him. "Therefore, this young master has decided that from today onwards, all taxes and taxes on Chaotic Capital will be reduced by one third, including rent."    

Rumble …    

As soon as Teng Yan finished speaking, the entire audience fell into a dead silence.    

Shua shua shua …    

Everyone looked at Teng Yan blankly, then looked at each other again.    

"Hua!"    

A moment later, everyone was in an uproar.    

A third waiver?    

What did that mean?    

Take Chu Fei and the rest's small courtyard for example. At that time, the rent was five gold coins a month, a third of the rent was equivalent to about two gold coins less. More than two gold coins? It wasn't much, but for many people, losing two gold coins in one go would definitely make their lives richer and reduce the pressure. Especially those who owned shops. After deducting a third of their taxes, their income was equivalent to an extra third of their tax revenue.    

Surprise, this was definitely an unexpected surprise.    

How could he not be excited!    

The scene in front of their eyes was extremely noisy and filled with discussion. Everyone's face revealed a joyful expression.    

Shua shua shua …    

In the end, everyone's eyes fell on Teng Yan's body.    

"City lord, are you speaking the truth? Reduce the taxes and rent by a third?" A acupoint stage warrior looked at Teng Yan's excited voice, and within the voice, there was an uncontrollable excitement. At the same time, following the acupoint stage Ranker's inquiry, everyone else's eyes were staring straight at Teng Yan, afraid that they would miss a thing.    

"Of course, this young master never takes his words seriously." Teng Yan smiled lightly, and his firm voice sounded.    

"Hua!"    

The crowd was once again in an uproar.    

Really.    

It was all true.    

A third of the tax cut is true!    

"Everyone, quiet down." Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Teng Yan smiled and said. Hearing Teng Yan's words, everyone present quietened down, as if they were afraid that Teng Yan would take back one third of the tax if they did not do as he said. Seeing everyone maintaining their calm, Teng Yan continued to speak, "A third tax break is only the first thing this young master does. "Next, in order to create a peaceful and harmonious environment for everyone to live in, I will form a city guard."    

City Guard?    

Everyone present was stunned. They looked at each other with blank expressions on their faces.    

What are the city guards?    

In the end, everyone's astonished gazes fell on Teng Yan.    

"City Lord, what is this city guard up to?"    

"That's a good question. What are the city guards?" Everyone knew that even though the Chaotic Capital City could not kill anyone, there were still many problems. For example, stealing, robbing, blackmailing, forced selling … And so on and so forth. And the city guards were here to fight over these crimes. "In the future, if you feel that your interests have been violated, you can go to the city guards and arrest them, fine them, and seal up your store according to the severity of the matter. No matter who it is, they have no special rights." Teng Yan said in a bland voice.    

"Hua!"    

Teng Yan's words made everyone boil up, but at the same time, they were all shocked.    

City Guard?    

Everyone present kept thinking back to what Teng Yan had said. If they truly had these city guards, then their lives in the Chaotic Capital would be much safer and more peaceful. This was definitely something that everyone wanted to see, especially those weak warriors. In this world where the strong were revered, were they not bullied often in Chaotic Capital? Now that the City Guards had appeared, it was equivalent to them having someone to rely on. With a backer, they wouldn't need to be bullied in the future.    

Excited, excited, and even more so pleased.    

And gratitude...    

This City Lord was definitely a good person, a good person indeed.    

In an instant, Teng Yan had won the favor of several hundred people present, and at the same time, his prestige in their hearts continued to rise.    

This was, of course, what Teng Yan wanted as well.    

"Hur hur." Seeing the reaction of this group of people, Teng Yan laughed indifferently in his heart: "Of course, the city guards have not been formed yet, so I hope everyone can help me inform this matter to your friends, relatives, and even everyone else. If anyone wants to participate in the city guards welcome me, the city guards' gates will open for you anytime."    

This...    

Everyone could not help but hesitate for a moment.    

Join the City Guards?    

They didn't think about it.    

Especially when they heard that the City Guards had not been formed yet, and there was not even a single person present, everyone could not help but feel a slight sense of loss in their hearts.    

How could they guarantee their interests without the City Guards?    

"Chu Fei, post the notice." Looking at the disappointed expressions of the people in front of him, Teng Yan did not care in the slightest as he spoke to the people beside him. Hearing that, Chu Fei did not hesitate at all, and immediately brought out the notice he had prepared.    

A notice?    

Everyone could not help but be startled, as their shocked gazes all landed on the notice that Chu Fei had stuck up.    

What was that?    

"This is a notice for me to recruit city guards, it clearly states the requirements to join the city guard, of course …" There's even treatment, so everyone can take a look. " Looking at these people who had strange expressions on their faces, Teng Yan calmly spoke. At the same time, his face carried a trace of a devilish smile, and he had absolute confidence in the treatment he would give to Teng Yan.    

Treatment?    

Sure enough, when everyone heard this, they were all moved. One by one, they all surrounded him.    

The notice did indeed have two parts, one was about the requirements of the city guards and the other was about the treatment of the city guards. When everyone saw the request of the first city guard, they didn't care about it at all. In other words, they were completely ignored.    

Loyalty, loyalty, absolute loyalty;    

These few simple words were the request of the city guards.    

However, when they saw the treatment given to the second city guard, everyone was stunned.    

This...    

Is this true?    

Everyone present looked at each other!    

Hua …    

A hubbub instantly rose.    

He couldn't believe it!
