Chapter 998
After selecting the territory of several races, Zhou Tian carefully calculated the gains and losses, and finally decided to choose a territory from the human race at that time.
First, Zhou Tian still thinks he is human in his soul, and he will not feel resistant to choosing the human race like this. Second, the atmosphere of the human race is indeed more suitable for missionary preaching. In an environment where there are many sects within the human race, as long as the power of the abyss is strong enough, there will be no problems in developing it.
Therefore, if the human race is most suitable for its current development, then Zhou Tian would naturally choose the human race territory as his base. At this time, Zhou Tian only needs to do one thing, that is, find the most pleasant territory from the human race territory at that time. After occupying that territory, Zhou Tian could really start working on the plan he set.
"That's it!"
In fact, there was no good choice. Apart from the cities occupied by major forces, Zhou Tian could only capture some small villages and towns. No matter how good a territory like that, it was impossible for Zhou Tian to choose. He took a fancy to the land closest to him, and after making a decision in his heart, he directly attacked the land.
There was almost no movement in Zhou Tian. In a short while, he appeared directly near the territory at that time. After observing the territory, Zhou Tian walked towards the lord's mansion in that territory casually.
"Stop, who?"
Although the territory chosen by Zhou Tian was indeed just a small territory, no matter how small it was, when an outsider like Zhou Tian approached the lord's mansion, it was impossible for him to react at all. After all, no matter how small the lord was, he was still a lord. Even for the sake of making a spell, he seemed to have no reason not to summon a few guards.
It was just obvious that even if those who acted as guards saw Zhou Tian at that time, what could they do at that time with their strength?
With Zhou Tian's strength, no matter what he wanted to do at this moment, I guess that the group of people would not have the ability to stop him. In this way, as long as Zhou Tian had the idea at that time, with his strength, he would forcefully take down that territory. This seems to be no difficulty in no matter what aspect.
Of course, Zhou Tian actually didn't have the same idea at that time at that time.
Zhou Tian has a whole world as a territory. How could he like the territory of the little lord at that time? Although with his strength, if Zhou Tian really had that kind of thought, it would be very easy to capture the other party's territory at that time. But if he really did that, it would be almost certain that Zhou Tian's actions would inevitably lead to a certain rebound.
With his strong strength, no one's resistance can change his ending. But if the creatures in the area ruled by Zhou Tian would not cooperate at all, then no matter how powerful Zhou Tian's strength was, under the circumstances at that time, it would be difficult for him to implement his plan smoothly.
In this way, since I felt that my plan was difficult to implement at that time, Zhou Tian would definitely not be able to let that situation happen at that time.
There is no way. Although all the residents in the territory at that time were very weak compared to Zhou Tian. However, for his own plan, Zhou Tian could not use force to solve the problem at that time. In this way, according to his ideas, the residents of that territory could actively cooperate was the situation that Zhou Tian wanted to see most.
Undoubtedly, no matter what means Zhou Tian used at that time, if he could ask the lord of that territory to help him preach at that time, Zhou Tian would have saved a lot of trouble.
Whether a lord is kind or tyrannical, as long as he is still in that position, he will have corresponding influence on the residents of that territory. In this way, if the lord of that territory at that time helps Zhou Tian with all his might, and then let the residents of that territory believe in him and then practice the power of the abyss, there would be no problem.
Of course, although Zhou Tian was preparing to ask the lord for help at this time, the other party did not know Zhou Tian’s plan, and he did not have the obligation to cooperate with him. In this way, when Zhou Tian was about to talk to him, the lord at that time was quite uncooperating.
It was just obvious that whether Zhou Tian wanted to see the lord was the decisive factor in this matter. As for how the lord thought at that time, this was not actually an important matter. After all, the lord was limited in strength, and even if he had no ability to resist Zhou Tian, he did not want to see Zhou Tian. Could he still prevent Zhou Tian from getting closer at that time?
Of course it is impossible. After all, Zhou Tian is not a good-tempered lord. It is not that if the lord didn't want Zhou Tian to get close to him, Zhou Tian would stop at that time. In fact, the territory had not even understood what was going on at that time. When he received the news, Zhou Tian had already broken into the lord's mansion and walked slowly to him.
"You are the lord of this territory?"
"Yes, the villain is the lord here. I wonder what this adult has to do when he comes to the villain's territory. If he lacks money, the villain is willing..."
"Stop talking nonsense. I have no interest in your little things. From then on, your territory will spread my faith. If this matter is done, I will give you my own benefits. But if you don't do this matter well, what will happen then? You can do it yourself!" After saying that, in order to scare the lord and let the other party serve him honestly in the future, Zhou Tian directly used his ability at that time, condensed an energy bomb and threw it at a hill in his sight.
"boom!"
What kind of strength does Zhou Tian have at this time? Even though he did not exert his strength with all his strength, the destructive power of his attack was still impossible to be small. As a result, when an energy bomb that seemed inconspicuous at all fell on the hill, it directly exploded with an explosion.
There is no doubt that when the situation happened at that time, Zhou Tian naturally achieved his goal at that time. After all, the lord was just a country nobleman at that time. When he had seen such a powerful man as Zhou Tian? In this way, when he saw with his own eyes how he bombed a hill, the lord had no intention of resisting Zhou Tian's control. As for his mind at that time, there was no other thought except for fear!
"Master... you are so powerful! You can believe that you are the honor of those untouchables." After saying that, it was like expressing your determination. The lord said directly to the housekeeper beside him: "Send the order immediately. The residents of my territory must believe in this lord. If anyone dares to disobey, then hang him to death!"
"No need to hang. Just increase the tax."
"Yes, yes, just increase taxes."
"The residents who believe in me don't have to fight with each other anymore."
"Yes... but sir, if you don't pay taxes, then..." Although he was still very afraid of Zhou Tian, when Zhou Tian said that his believers did not have to pay taxes, the lord was still instinctively prepared to refute. After all, according to the situation of the society at that time, the lord's income was basically all dependent on the taxes of residents. If it was really as Zhou Tian said that ordinary believers did not have to pay taxes, then he, the lord, would have no income.
If a person who has no income, then it will become an extremely dangerous thing. Without taxes, there will be no way to manage Shangguan. If something happens at that time, no one will help him, sooner or later he will be the target of blame. At the same time, how can he arm his territory without income? If he encounters an invader and does not have force to protect himself, how can he guarantee his sovereignty?
It can be said that if he really gave up taxes, his territory would basically be over. Because of the great impact of giving up taxes at that time, even though he had seen Zhou Tian's strength, he had already scared Zhou Tian's strength at that time, but the lord still objected to Zhou Tian's tax exemption.
Zhou Tian was not surprised by the reaction of the lord at that time. After all, although his life is very important for a lord, his position in his heart will probably not be lower than his life. Even some lords who value inheritance and exceed their own life will probably regard their territory as more important than themselves.
In this way, no matter how powerful Zhou Tian showed at that time, it was only because Zhou Tian's arrangement at that time might destroy his territory. It would be enough to give the lord the possibility of resisting him. I believe that if Zhou Tian did not change his decision, it would not be impossible to force the lord to resist him head-on.
Even if the lord chose to resist Zhou Tian, it would not have been possible to pose any threat to Zhou Tian at that time. But if things really turned into that look in the end, Zhou Tian’s original plan probably would have 100% problems. Obviously, Zhou Tian would not allow that situation to happen. After all, if the goal can be easily achieved, no matter from any perspective, Zhou Tian does not seem to have to complicate things.
According to the situation at that time, if this problem needs to be solved, it is difficult to say it. But it is indeed a very easy thing to say.
The difficulty of the matter is that according to Zhou Tian's arrangement at that time, it was almost at the root of the lord. And according to the situation at that time, even if Zhou Tian's strength was so strong, when his own foothold would be completely lost, it would be a bit difficult to keep the lord honest and obedient.
However, although the arrangement of Zhou Tian is equivalent to sacrificing the lord's roots, if Zhou Tian could bring greater benefits to the lord at that time, then let alone just the trustees will not collect taxes, even if all the residents in his territory do not collect taxes, the lord probably wouldn't mind at that time!
To put it bluntly, the matter is complicated at the moment, but after careful investigation, you will know that everything is just a conflict of interests. If Zhou Tian shakes the interests of the lord but cannot make up for it, then even if it is a deterrent with force, it will be difficult to ensure that the other party will not make trouble secretly by then.
If Zhou Tian immediately made a compensation in his way after harming the lord's interests, and even gave the lord greater benefits. Then don't look at the lord's resistance to Zhou Tian's arrangement at this moment. I guess if I really want to go that step, after seeing the benefits given by Zhou Tian, the lord might become Zhou Tian's most powerful supporter.
Undoubtedly, for ordinary creatures in that world at that time, it would be difficult to reach an agreement on that issue at that time. After all, the current demands of Zhou Tian would shake the rule of the lord. When his own rule was unstable, no matter what purpose Zhou Tian made the request at that time, the lord said that he would not agree to anything.
However, for the creatures in that world at that time, the current problem may be difficult to solve. Apart from forcibly killing the lord and taking over the power of that territory, in the face of that problem at that time, the existence of the proposal would be forced to change the decision at that time.
But it is obvious that for Zhou Tian, the problem that seems almost unsolvable to the creatures in that world are just a small problem in his eyes. There is no other reason, just because Zhou Tian is leaning against a higher world, and with his strong strength, any resource can be obtained in Zhou Tian's eyes.
In this way, since the foundation of the lord was shaken by his proposal, the lord was ultimately resisting his proposal. At this moment, what Zhou Tian needed to do would naturally make up for the loss of the lord. As long as Zhou Tian gave the lord more money, it would be difficult for Zhou Tian to understand the proposal of the lord. Under the circumstances at that time, he should not find a reason to object.
"Don't worry, I will pay their taxes." After saying that, it was like to prove his words. After saying that, Zhou Tian threw out a large amount of gold from his storage space without saying a word. (To be continued.)
