Chapter 387 Returning Again, Crisis? !
But Qiuxiang, the eldest princess of the empire, is well known even by everyone.
But she still pretended to be herself, it can be said that she did not show any beauty.
It makes Wang Zibin feel a pity.
In such days, a year passed quietly.
Wang Zibin also came to the eighth rank, becoming an eighth rank titled knight and eighth rank magister.
With a double eighth rank, he finally possesses the fifth level of self-protection.
What is the power of self-preservation?
That is, with the help of the powerful physique of the eighth-rank titled knight, he can directly release the forbidden spell!
In this way, as a mage, he can be regarded as having the power to fight against a ninth-level powerhouse.
But, Wang Zibin is not some black mage out there.
He can be said to have a powerful influence in the Full Moon Empire.
Therefore, in terms of personal strength, it is just a need for self-protection.
What is really important to "Zero 60" is the development of power.
And his foundation, the base camp is Los Angeles.
After a year of development, it has already threatened the status of the imperial capital of the Full Moon Empire!
Even before Wang Zibin left Los Angeles, he had specifically emphasized the need to control the speed of development.
However, even with the utmost control, Los Angeles has become the second largest city recognized by the Full Moon Empire!
This second largest city is not only in terms of economy, but also in terms of a series of indicators to measure the development of the city, such as area and population, second only to the imperial capital of the Yuanyue Empire.
And in the letter passed secretly by the dwarves, Wang Zibin knows even more:
The actual Los Angeles City has surpassed the imperial capital of the Full Moon Empire!
Needless to say about the economy, Luo City's products have already spread throughout the entire Moon Empire, and its trade through waterways is even more prosperous!
If it weren't for Wang Zibin's instruction, Los Angeles' economy had never been disclosed to the public. It is estimated that the entire Yuanyue Empire should know about it.
As for the population, thanks to Los Angeles' unique citizenship system.
As a result, it is very difficult to become a citizen of Los Angeles, so the registered population of Los Angeles is not large.
However, in the internal population statistics of Los Angeles, its population is already second only to the imperial capital!
This can be seen from the continuous expansion of Los Angeles.
To talk about why it is certain that Los Angeles has surpassed the imperial capital.
This has to mention the exclusive ship of Los Angeles - the submarine!
Less than two months after Wang Zibin left Los Angeles for the second time, with his hint, the dwarf master team completed the research and development of the submarine.
No, to be precise, the submarine is developed enough to be mass-produced and put into use.
Due to the existence of submarines, the city of Los Angeles has quietly passed the waterway and completed trade with other empires through the Dogia Forest!
Of course, the fact that the submarine can sail underwater is also due to Ao Zhuang and Ao Jiaojiao's means, and it has the aura of the Jiaolong clan.
However, the submarine's trade with other empires can only go back and forth once a month or two due to the long distance.
Therefore, the materials exchanged are all high-end materials.
And in the case of prudence, the trade cannot be expanded, and it can only be carried out in small batches.
But even so, Los Angeles' trade with other empires still yielded unimaginable profits.
These are all the secret benefits of Los Angeles.
With these huge hidden benefits, Los Angeles has indeed surpassed the imperial capital.
But even though Los Angeles had been careful to hide this news, the royal family of the Full Moon Empire still found some clues.
In other words, the Yuanyue Empire discovered the problem through taxation!
Due to the hundred-year tax-free policy of Los Angeles City, the actual tax revenue for all transactions in Los Angeles City was only handed over to Los Angeles City and not to the officials of the Full Moon Empire.
So the royal family of the Yuanyue Empire suddenly discovered that the tax revenue had dropped by nearly 5% compared to previous years!
Maybe one or two percent is a normal fluctuation, but five percent is not normal.
The royal family of the Yuanyue Empire focused their attention on Luocheng almost without thinking.
If you want to ask where the tax is low, the first thing everyone thinks of is that they don't pay taxes and are famous in the entire Moon Empire, Los Angeles!
The emperor of the Full Moon Empire even subconsciously converted the 5% tax into Los Angeles economy!
It is equivalent to the city of Los Angeles occupying 5% of the economy of the Full Moon Empire!
And this number is almost the same as that of the imperial capital!
This was undoubtedly intolerable to the Emperor.
Coupled with the fact that Wang Zibin has been "missing" for so long, the Emperor's patience has run out!
So the emperor, who can't tolerate it, is finally ready to attack Luo City!
But this time, he no longer concealed it at all, and no longer cared about Crystal Dragon Andre, but openly announced the tax drop data of the Full Moon Empire at the court meeting!
As soon as this data was announced, everyone was in an uproar!
The ministers expressed that they would take Los Angeles into national ownership!
The so-called nationalization refers to turning Los Angeles into the official city of the Full Moon Empire, which will be taken over by officials appointed by the Full Moon Empire!
It is not difficult to see that because the ministers want to place their own people in Luo City...
Indeed, who could say no to a bustling city that accounts for five percent of the empire's economy?
You know, this is still data on the surface.
Who knows what kind of income there is in Los Angeles in the dark?
It can be said that the current Los Angeles, in their eyes, is an incomparably huge cake, and everyone wants a piece of it!
By this time, the Emperor had actually changed his plans.
Because what he originally thought was to secretly turn Los Angeles into his own private property by controlling Wang Zibin!
In this way, outsiders can't get in at all!
It's just that Wang Zibin's "disappearance" made the emperor lose the opportunity to manipulate secretly.
So much so that he can only make Los Angeles public, so as now, he can gain everyone's support.
At the same time, it is also equivalent to layering the big cake of Los Angeles publicly.
In this case, the emperor's income would naturally decrease. 3.1 But less is better than nothing.
The emperor's announcement gained the support of all the ministers almost instantly.
In this way, with the support of the ministers, the emperor can legitimately attack Los Angeles.
The news that the Yuanyue Empire was preparing to nationalize Los Angeles spread rapidly from the imperial capital.
After teaching Los Angeles, Andre and the others passed it on to Wang Zibin as soon as possible.
Wang Zibin who received the news knew that this time, the Emperor must be really ready to do something.
So he found Ao Zhuang and set foot on the road back to Luo City.
Los Angeles.
Wang Zibin walked on the street, looked at the monsters passing by, and smiled:
The current Los Angeles City can be described as a true city of ten thousand races.
Humans, Orcs, Warcraft and other races can act openly and aboveboard in Los Angeles...
