Chapter 207 The Gourd of Space Nature
Sky Gold is the protection fee paid to the Tianlong people by the World Government's participating countries. Generally, the participating countries have naval branches. Although these naval branches are not very strong, they can also deter ordinary bandits and pirates.
After pirates occupy a certain area for a long time, the sky gold in this area will no longer be paid. After all, pirates also need income, and these heavenly gold become the pirate's bag.
The reason why the Navy upholds justice is partly to gain the name of justice, and partly for the annual heavenly gold. If the entire world was occupied by pirates, wouldn't the world government have no source of income?
In fact, Qi Mu is not opposed to Heavenly Gold, because Heavenly Gold does not collect much. After all, no matter what force is in power, taxation is an important source of income.
Without taxation, there is no economic source. Without economic source, it is impossible to develop military power. Without military power, it is impossible to protect the people for a long time. Without the people, there is no so-called ruler. Therefore, stable taxation is a must. Whether it is good or bad is just a matter of how much tax to collect!
The sky gold in the pirate world is collected per person, and everyone pays the same amount of sky gold. This seems fair, but the poor and the rich are different. They are also two hundred thousand beli. In front of the poor, it is the annual income, and in front of the rich, it is just drizzle.
For countries that can afford to pay the heavenly gold, the world government is very willing to collect it. After all, countries that give money away for free should not accept it for free.
After the world government takes over the participating countries, it basically just patrols them symbolically. If the geographical location is important, some naval garrison may also be sent. If the geographical location is not important, basically leave it alone.
The reason why Qi Mu chose Huludao was that he had left things alone and had low-key development in the early stage. When he developed, the navy couldn't control it even if he wanted to.
--------------------------------------
Qi Mu has also been troubled by the question of who will be the king of Huludao. He definitely doesn't want to take care of these things himself. Managing too many things will delay his cultivation. Without absolute force, no matter how good his development is, it will be useless.
Uzumaki Xiangling could be the queen. Although she appeared in the newspapers, her skin had deteriorated a lot after months of sailing. If she was considered to have a score of 60 in the photo at that time, then she would be a score of 180 now. Even Itachi might not be able to recognize this kind of change like plastic surgery. However, Qi Mu still doesn't plan to let her be the queen. If someone recognizes her, it will be very troublesome.
Mr. Tom's hobby is researching new types of ships, and he definitely doesn't like sitting in the castle and reading documents every day. Now the submarine is entering a critical juncture, and the technology of Sky Island has just been learned. Mr. Tom can't even take care of eating. How can he have the leisure to be the king?
The four children, Mizuki Shiro, Xiao Xianglan, Xiaomi, and Xiao Hinata, well, let’s forget about becoming kings!
As for strange beings such as Snow God, Xiaotian, Turtle Prime Minister, Jungle Four, Somersault Cloud, etc., these guys don’t need to think about it at all! Even after paying the heavenly gold, the world government will not allow them to become kings, because they cannot live up to their reputation!
The three chefs do have a chance, especially the sous chef Akemi and the chef Slarin. I don't know if these two people can be king and queen, but it seems they can consider it.
The chef and his wife's current strength is still passable. After eating the natural fruit, they should be able to surpass the pirates with a bounty of hundreds of millions. With Slarin's burning fruits and Minmei's rock berry fruits, they should have no problem protecting themselves.
After thinking about it, Qi Mu looked at the old village chief, and then said politely: "Old man, you don't have to worry about the heavenly gold. I will pay the heavenly gold for everyone first. As for whether everyone is able to repay it. , we will consider this later. Those pirates are not a problem, even the Capone family gangs, we can solve them.
After removing these, what other conditions are needed to apply for an alliance? "
--------------------------------------
Looking at Qi Mu in disbelief, the old village chief was very shocked. Although there are not a few people in the seven villages, there are still 2,000 people! These people need one hundred thousand beli every year, which adds up to more than 200 million beli every year. Is he really that rich?
The old village chief thought about it carefully, and then added: "In addition to the gold in the sky, that is,
