Chapter 1040

But most importantly, doing so would indirectly expose Zhao Chi's information.

After all, this territory information is also confidential.

Then forget it, don't consider the first option.

If we go with the second option.

Taoyuan Village is now a medium-sized village, just pay a fixed 20 gold coins per month.

Small villages pay 10 gold coins per month, large villages pay 50 gold coins per month.

So for Zhao Chi, no matter how he calculates, the second option is more cost-effective.

"Zhao Chi, which one do you choose?"

Su Qin asked softly.

"The second option, what about you?"

"I'll choose the first option, otherwise I'd be paying way too much."

Zhao Chi calculated briefly, and indeed it was.

Su Qin's territory is a medium-sized town; if she goes with this second option, she needs to pay 200 gold coins per month.

For her, that's too much.

Su Qin's medium-sized town is relatively weak, far inferior to those powerful medium-sized towns.

So for her, going with the first option and paying proportionally is more cost-effective.

Su Qin's territory's five indicators add up to 9,177 points, so she only needs to pay 91.77 gold coins per month, less than half of 200 gold coins.

This is more cost-effective for Su Qin.

Zhao Chi quickly chose the second option.

Su Qin chose the first option.

This way, lords don't have to pay all those various taxes; they can directly choose what suits them and pay monthly—very simple and convenient.

Moreover, without all those miscellaneous taxes, the lords' transactions can also be more frequent, making it easier for them to purchase the supplies they need.

Of course, this only applies to the lords.

Non-lord residents have a separate set of rules, which Zhao Chi doesn't care about.

The second important matter:

【Magical Beast Quota Issue】

The Breaking World Army is a resistance force, originally wandering without a fixed base, and didn't bear any magical beast quota at all.

But now they've occupied Horn Cliff Town and are using its formation array, so they have no choice but to accept the magical beast quota.

Otherwise, magical beasts would first burst out from Horn Cliff Town.

However, now the alien race has used some method to transfer large numbers of magical beasts to Central District 9 to attack the nobles there who are barely holding on.

This has caused the number of magical beasts in other locations to decrease, making them easier to deal with than before.

The final announcement was that village-level lords don't have to fight magical beasts.

While town-level lords have a quota of dealing with 100-500 beginner magical beasts.

Zhao Chi still has no quota, and Su Qin's quota is 200 beginner magical beasts.

Compared to her previous quota, it's directly halved.

Other lords' quotas are also not high.

Zhao Shizhang, Zhao Qizong, and others still have to eliminate extremely high-level magical beasts, but it's much easier than before.

This way.

With fewer losses, the lords can accumulate a large amount of combat power.

The Breaking World Army is not the alien race.

The alien race needs to limit the lords' development; they don't want the lords to be too strong.

And they don't dare let the lords be too strong.

Lu Yi's family and Cao Feng's family were both weakened by the alien race precisely because they were too strong.

Zhao Chi's family was too weak, so both Xiao Ning and Master Mu Chang felt they could be controlled, and neither gave any extra weakening.

But the Breaking World Army is different.

They not only don't need to limit the lords' development, but they also need stronger lords.

Because the stronger the lords, the stronger the Breaking World Army can be.

Su Qin is very happy.

"Zhao Chi, I used to feel like I was dragging you down, but now with only a quota of 200, I can handle it myself, no need to trouble you to come every day."

Zhao Chi smiled and said: "200 of them? I think you can win without taking a scratch."

Su Qin nodded: "Mm, if they're still skeletons or goblins or something, I really can take them without a scratch. But if we run into ogres or something, I might still take some losses."

"Then I don't have to go help you fight every day anymore?"

Su Qin nodded: "Yes, you don't have to. But of course, if you're willing to come, you're welcome."

Zhao Chi shook his head: "No need, 200 is very easy for you. It's a good chance for you to build up your strength, I won't steal that from you. If you run into a tough magical beast, you can call me for support."

"Okay! But you won't come less often, will you?"

"I won't."

"Mm, I don't need you to come every day, but you have to come over once every few days, okay?"

"Don't worry."

"That Lu Yi... what's her relationship with you?"

"Huh? Lu Yi? How did she come up?"
