C3682 Great City
There were only two types of punishments for murder, robbers, and other such crimes. Either they were imprisoned for a thousand years, stripped of their origin, and refined various crystal Pills s for Weiyang's palace, or they were sentenced to death.
After the list of rules, Weiyang Palace was still in chaos. However, in just five days, Weiyang Palace suddenly became peaceful.
The reason for that was because, within five days, all offenders were severely punished.
Under the eyes of the Taoism Sail boat, it was impossible for anyone to hide their crimes.
Aside from patrolling, there was no need to do anything else with City Guard Regiment. Taoism Sail boat would immediately know whenever a crime was committed, and then set up City Guard Regiment to enforce the law at an extremely fast speed.
Within five days, thousands of prisoners were arrested, and tens of thousands more were punished with warnings and detention. All of a sudden, Weiyang Palace became very safe.
With the establishment of City Guard Regiment and various laws, as well as the fame of the four academies, more and more people rushed into Weiyang Palace.
In the second year after the Weiyang Palace was built, the number of residents in the city showed an astonishing increase.
From the million living creatures, it only took a year to reach 40 million!
And what was even more terrifying was the number of Celestial Kings.
From less than one thousand, it quickly grew to twenty thousand!
Actually, the outside world did not know that Meng Fan had released the life form within the Source Universe.
Amongst the forty million living creatures, there were about ten million that came from Meng Fan. Meng Fan borrowed the power of the new city, and with the help of various people, he established the opportunity to release all the living beings in the Source Universe. The Great Reef was originally an impossible place, and no one would be able to clearly investigate the origins of these Divine Kings.
Living beings of Meng Fan's Source Universe viewed Meng Fan as a god and would definitely follow Meng Fan's orders. Therefore, the Wu Steel Palace's weather had changed, the laws were strict, the streets were prosperous and the education had flourished.
By the beginning of the third year, almost a tenth of the city was filled with living creatures.
The dukes of the Great Reef also no longer dared to mock Weiyang Palace. Instead, they viewed this place as a miraculous city, being able to establish the rule of law within the Great Reef.
Tian Zilou also knew, that their investment had succeeded.
The foreign trade of Weiyang Gong was entirely handled by Tian Zilou. Dozens of millions of lives and twenty thousand Celestial Kings had produced a large amount of business and benefits.
The big boss of Tian Zilou and the various stewards paid more attention to the Wu Steel Palace. There were many places in the city with merchant houses, ticket numbers, and relay stations, and there were also ten stewards who stayed in the Wu Steel Palace to provide various resources for the city.
In the third year, Tian Zilou sponsored millions of tons of spirit herbs and crystals in Weiyang Palace. This year, the number of creatures in Weiyang Palace reached eighty million.
In the fourth year, other than the four academies and City Guard Regiment, Weiyang Palace had also established a prison that could accommodate tens of thousands of criminals, as well as various workshops and the Executive Hall to manage the city. At the same time, this year, the number of members in the City Guard Regiment had also surpassed three thousand, meaning three thousand Divine Kings.
In the fifth year, the Weiyang Palace began to build hidden canals, underground canals, and a large number of foreign businesses.
In the seventh year, the number of city dwellers broke through to three hundred million and the number of Divine Kings broke through three hundred thousand. In order to facilitate management, Executive Hall began to re-count the population and release their identities.
Before this, any living being could live in Weiyang Palace, and there was no need to confirm their identity. Weiyang Palace was almost full by the end of the seventh year, and the entire city was full of living beings.
Executive Hall allowed all living beings who stayed in Weiyang Palace for the first three years to have their own household registration. The living beings that stayed in Weiyang Palace for the next few years could not have their own household registration, so they did not have the qualifications to enter the school to attend classes, nor did they have the qualifications to join any of the, Executive Hall, Hall of Law, or any other administrative organizations.
If you want to get a household register, you have to pay more than five years tax for Weiyang Gong, and always abide by the law.
Every ten years, Weiyang Palace would conduct an inventory. Anyone who didn't have a household register to live in Weiyang Palace would have to pay a tax of five years in one go to be able to stay.
Under the Taoism Sail boat's powerful calculation skills, no crimes were possible, and no cases of falsehood would occur. Similarly, anyone who did not have an household register to hide was also impossible.
During this year, both those with and without household registration had to pay tax to Weiyang Palace.
However, the tax rates were very simple and very low.
The tax rate was only two parts, one part being the residence tax. Any resident of the Weiyang Palace had to pay the residence tax every year, which was based on the size of the land occupied by a living being. However, the tax rate was actually very low, and the things that were delivered were also very cheap, being things that were used in the secular world, such as gold and silver.0
Gold and silver were no different from dust to those who had stepped into the Martial Dao.
However, the commoners also knew that gold and silver were useful to Tian Zilou and some of the exceptionally strong Divine Kings, because these were all important materials to refine pure gold. However, to these ordinary residents, things like gold and silver were not important at all, and they did not need to be accumulated. As long as they stepped into the Celestial King Stage, they could directly turn a stone into gold, and it would just be a waste of their vitality and energy.
Therefore, the residential tax was so low that it couldn't be any lower.
Apart from the residence tax, there was only one other tax, the trade tax.
All shops, storefronts, relay stations, as long as the business is conducted, must pay a trade tax, and this tax is not uniform. According to the rules, those who do not have the status of a resident of Weiyang Palace, three out of ten of ten of those who buy and sell water, must pay a tax.
However, as long as he had an household register, he would only need to pay a thousandth of it!
Three hundred times the difference.
Once a household register was established, a thousandth of the trade tax would be considered very low as well.
Thus, starting from the seventh year, a large number of creatures without a household register started to desperately save up money to pay taxes just so they could obtain the household register of Weiyang Palace.
Because at this time, there were already three hundred million living creatures in Weiyang Palace, three hundred thousand Celestial Kings, the rule of law was sound, and there were almost no crimes. The trade was flourishing, and many merchants of Great Reef would definitely come to Weiyang Palace for this reason.
Therefore, everyone wished to live in Weiyang Palace.
