You aren't protecting my safety, so why should I still pay you taxes?
My mine has been destroyed to this extent, and you come to me for a fine? Have you no shame?
Over the next few days, Liu Kai Xuan constructed numerous defensive fortifications around the mine.
Simultaneously, Liu Kai Xuan utilized these days to meticulously train a systematic drone swarm tactic.
As a person from the future, Liu Kai Xuan could entirely foresee.
The future battlefield would inevitably be a battlefield dominated by autonomous systems.
The widespread adoption of autonomous equipment would lead to increasingly robust technological barriers, rendering them unbreachable.
Whoever controlled the technological high ground would dominate the entire world.
If he had to develop from scratch, Liu Kai Xuan might never have the chance to catch up to the world's current superpowers.
However, with an omnipotent system in his grasp, things were vastly different.
Within the system, there were simply too many useful items!
Not only could he purchase finished high-tech products, but he could even acquire technological data.
With this technological data in hand, engaging in research and development was essentially like "copying homework."
Since this place, the Kai Ya Empire, valued strength and followed the law of the jungle,
Why couldn't it be a case of "I alone am supreme"?
Liu Kai Xuan's oil field was adjacent to the gulf, rich in resources and conveniently located.
The potential for development in this area was immense.
...
Days passed, and the seven-day deadline set by Kai Yatun had just expired.
However, there was no movement whatsoever from the Kai Xuan mine.
One morning, Mo Lin arrived at the office to find Liu Kai Xuan.
"Well, Mr. Mo Lin, what brings you here today!"
Upon seeing Mo Lin arrive, Liu Kai Xuan immediately stood to greet him.
Although Liu Kai Xuan had decided not to appease the paper tiger Kai Yatun any longer,
He was still willing to be friends with Mo Lin!
After entering the room, Mo Lin spoke with considerable anxiety, "Boss Liu!"
"Your Majesty mentioned a fine a while ago!"
"This amount isn't too much, I think you should pay it soon!"
"Otherwise, if His Majesty gets angry, it will be troublesome!"
Liu Kai Xuan nodded and smiled, "Brother Mo Lin is right, I also feel I should pay this money!"
"But the problem now is that I'm a bit short on funds!"
Saying this, Liu Kai Xuan sighed helplessly, "The conflict a few days ago severely damaged the mine!"
"It's already very difficult for us to resume production!"
"Our company's finances are in a very precarious state right now!"
"Please, Brother Mo Lin, explain to His Majesty and ask for some more time!"
"This..."
Mo Lin replied with a troubled expression, "Boss Liu, this is difficult to handle!"
"If your mine is facing difficulties and needs His Majesty's understanding, you should have approached His Majesty earlier to explain the situation!"
"Now, the final deadline His Majesty gave you has passed!"
"If you claim to have difficulties now, it might infuriate His Majesty greatly!"
"I suggest you expedite the transfer of funds from your company to pay the fine!"
"I can help you postpone it for another two or three days at most!"
"If you still can't pay by then, you might have to explain the situation to His Majesty yourself!"
"Alright!"
Liu Kai Xuan nodded, "Then I'll trouble Brother Mo Lin to help me stall for three more days!"
"I..."
Mo Lin could only nod reluctantly and agree, "Alright then, I will do my best!"
At this point, Mo Lin could already tell that Liu Kai Xuan was deliberately stalling for time.
It was almost impossible to get Liu Kai Xuan to willingly pay this money.
The only way was for him to persuade Kai Yatun to waive the fine.
This way, while a fine was lost, the relationship between the two parties could be maintained.
Subsequently, Liu Kai Xuan would likely continue to pay taxes.
If they completely fell out this time, it would likely lead to a "killing the goose that lays the golden eggs" scenario.
In fact, Kai Yatun was usually receptive to Mo Lin's advice when handling matters.
However, there was a group of sycophants who constantly surrounded Kai Yatun.
With these individuals around, Kai Yatun often could not make the right decisions.
This time was no exception. When Mo Lin went to plead with Kai Yatun, Tie Ma Sha was also present.
Mo Lin advised Kai Yatun to postpone the collection of the fine and give Liu Kai Xuan some time to recover.
He suggested that the fine be collected along with the taxes at the end of the quarter.
However, Tie Ma Sha believed Mo Lin was deliberately making excuses for Liu Kai Xuan.
Tie Ma Sha felt that Kai Yatun should severely punish Liu Kai Xuan's unruly behavior.
She proposed to revoke the control of the Kai Xuan oil field and arrest Liu Kai Xuan and imprison him.
If it were in the past, Kai Yatun might have been able to suppress the urge to arrest someone.
But this time, Kai Yatun was extremely angry and could no longer control his fury.
After all, he had given a seven-day deadline for the fine.
During these seven days, Liu Kai Xuan had not communicated or negotiated with him at all.
Now that the deadline had passed, he was still making all sorts of excuses and refusing to pay.
Such behavior clearly showed a disregard for him as the king.
Kai Yatun was already extremely frustrated, and with Tie Ma Sha fanning the flames,
It directly caused Kai Yatun's temper to explode, and he decided to severely punish Liu Kai Xuan to reassert his authority.
Driven by this mindset, Kai Yatun did not grant Liu Kai Xuan an additional three days.
Instead, on the day after the deadline expired, he dispatched relevant imperial officials with a large contingent of staff to the Kai Xuan oil field.
Upon arriving at the oil field, the imperial officials, citing the oil field's illegal operations, demanded an immediate shutdown for rectification and to accept punishment.
This time, Liu Kai Xuan himself did not appear; instead, he sent Ouyang Yu to represent him.
Ouyang Yu told the head of the imperial inspection team, Lun Dao Le Fu: "I apologize, Esteemed Leader!"
"Our boss is currently away on business and not in the mining area. The matters you've ordered must wait until he returns before they can be implemented!"
Lun Dao Le Fu retorted, "Ouyang Yu, listen carefully!"
"We are not here to negotiate with you this time!"
