Super Asura System

When Zhao Yiming heard Ativan's words, he burst into laughter, causing everyone to feel puzzled. No one knew what had gone wrong.    

    

He pointed at the window and said, "I don't know if what you said is powerful or not, but those mud houses outside. If that's the case, I really admire them."    

    

Ativan said without changing his expression, "I don't know what's wrong with mud houses. They can warm in winter and cool in summer. I think there are not many people in the Stellar Empire who can live in them."    

    

Zhao Yiming smiled and shook his head. He said, "You remind me of a story called the frog in the well. It meant that there was a frog sitting at the bottom of the well every day. It could only see a palm-sized piece of sky.    

    

That was why he thought that the sky was only so big. It was only until one day when he jumped out from the bottom of the well that he realized how ignorant he was and how vast the blue sky was.    

    

Indeed, there aren't many people in our Stellar Empire who live in this kind of mud house, because even our poorest people would live in brick houses. We are mostly here to rear pigs."    

    

Ativan's face turned red as he said," You are simply speaking nonsense. I don't believe that all of you there can live better than this. "    

    

Zhao Yiming shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Maybe you will live a happier life if you stay in the well forever.    

    

Let's not talk about this. You said that you want to be equal with us when you return to the country. I don't know what kind of equality you want. Could it be that you can build a country? "    

    

Ativan immediately said," What you said is really a joke. Why can't we establish a country? "    

    

Zhao Yiming thought of something and said, "Actually, I feel that establishing a country is quite good. However, I hope you can think about it clearly. After establishing a country, where did your money come from? If you don't have money, how can you raise your own army?"    

    

Ativan immediately said complacently, "I have already considered this. We can collect heavy taxes from your Stellar Empire merchants. They earn so much money from us every year. Shouldn't they hand over a portion? "    

    

Zhao Yiming put on a look of admiration and said, "Your idea is really unique. This is undoubtedly killing the chicken to get the egg. I think you might receive a lot of money in the first year. But you will find that there will be fewer and fewer merchants. In the end, you will not have any tax to pay. "    

    

Ativan said firmly, "What you said is impossible. The transaction for us to return to the border is very important to your Stellar Empire."    

    

Zhao Yiming shook his finger with a smile and said, "I need to correct this place, although there is a huge deal every year between the Stellar Empire and your return to the border.    

    

This may be all of you, but to the Stellar Empire, this is only a small part of it. Even without these transactions, it won't affect our foundation.    

    

Furthermore, merchants seek profits. You should know that our merchants come to your territory every year to do business. In fact, they have taken a huge risk, just like our team this time. Their equipment was already quite perfect, but they were still scattered by Horse Bandits.    

    

But why did they insist on coming here? It was because there was a huge profit here. If you collect heavy taxes, then there would be very little profit margin.    

    

I don't think any businessman would put his head on his belt to earn that little bit of money. Rather than doing this, why don't we take a few more steps and go to Barbarian Clan to do business."    

    

Ativan did not know much about economics. After being talked about by Zhao Yiming, he felt dizzy. It seemed that he was not as good as Zhao Yiming in this aspect. It was better to start from other aspects.    

    

He cleared his throat and said, "Then let Stellar Empire give us a large sum of money every year. That will solve our problem."    

    

Zhao Yiming spread his hands and said, "Then tell me why. Why should we give you a large sum of money?"    

    

Ativan said proudly, "Because we have the best warriors and can form a powerful army. If you dare not give it to us, we will beat you."    

    

Zhao Yiming's face turned cold and said, "This is undisguised bandit logic. Do you still have any shame?"    

    

Ativan said as if it was a matter of course, "In this world, the strong are respected. The weak give everything to the strong. I don't think there is anything wrong with it."    

    

Zhao Yiming said softly, "Then I understand what you mean. According to what you said, you should provide us with a large amount of resources every year when you return to the border.    

    

I won't argue with you in the past. From this year onwards, you have to pay tribute to us every year. The total value of the goods is no less than five hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Crystal. Otherwise, we will cut off your path of survival. "    

    

At this time, a guy slammed the table and said, "You are talking nonsense. Don't forget whose place this is!"    

    

Zhao Yiming spread his hands and said, "I have made the most correct answer according to your way of thinking. Could it be that you are only allowed to set fire, and we are not allowed to light the lights?"    

    

Ativan sneered and said, "This is what you are talking nonsense. I have carefully studied it. Back then, your Stellar Empire suffered a great loss in power after the defeat in Long Ling.    

    

Moreover, you have to face the Rising Sun and Luoyue Empire at the same time. You have already deployed all your military forces at the border of the two empires. What right do you have to say that you are stronger than us? "    

    

Zhao Yiming shook his head and said with a smile, "It seems that saying that you are a frog at the bottom of a well is an insult to frogs. Who told you that you must deploy a powerful army to deal with a force?    

    

We are separated from each other by Fire Desert. It won't be easy for anyone to touch anyone. As long as I establish a stronghold in One Line Sky, I will be able to ignore all of you.    

    

At that time, I will issue a strict order forbidding any merchant from coming here, not allowing any item from Stellar Empire to enter your territory.    

    

I think it will take at most twenty to thirty years for all of you to retreat for at least a hundred years. Think about your lives a hundred years ago. I wonder if you have the confidence to do so."    

    

Everyone remained silent. Not to mention a hundred years ago, even if it was a few decades ago, they wouldn't want to experience that kind of hardship again. If they really returned to that kind of situation, perhaps the common people would rebel against them.    

    

Ativan's eyes turned red as he said, "Then we still have one last move. We can ask the red-robed old ancestor to destroy your stronghold. Then, we can march straight into your stronghold and get whatever we want."    

    

Zhao Yiming snorted and said, "The red-robed old ancestor is indeed very capable. I am also very impressed by him. However, not only does our empire have Lord Devil Master, we also have the unpredictable Evil Buddha. "    

    

Everyone gasped. Ativan was like a defeated rooster, he lowered his head and didn't say anything.
