While Yuan Tiangang was speaking to the people in the martial arts world, he also began to give orders.

He ordered them to threaten merchants, nobles and others from all over Jin, and to raise the prices of goods and housing in Jin at all costs.

In other words, the war in Jin only officially began at this moment.

This is a war that is destined not to have too much smoke of gunpowder, but it is the most exhausting war.

It is said that when prosperity comes, the people suffer, and when decline comes, the people suffer.

Yuan Tiangang believed that no matter what strategy Ying Yuan came up with to deal with them afterwards.

In the end, it was the people of Jin who suffered serious damage.

This result cannot be changed.

-------------------------------------

The imperial edict issued by Ying Yuan in Shangjing City was sent to Xianyang by Lu You as quickly as possible.

About three or four days later.

After several scouts ran away and killed several high-quality horses, they finally arrived at the city of Xianyang.

Brought the news to Cao Cao.

When he saw the imperial edict, he immediately invited officials from the Ministry of Revenue to come and discuss the matter.

He looked at Heshen and said slowly, "Two out of ten is a tax. This tax is really too heavy."

"Your Majesty, if you do this, I'm afraid it will cause a collective rebellion among the nobles of Jin. Tell me, how can we remedy this situation?"

The latter frowned and said, "How about giving some benefits to the merchants in Jin land in the court's policy?"

They all felt that this time, the Emperor's methods were too harsh.

Little do we know that being too rigid can easily lead to breakage!

The area of ​​Jin had just experienced a huge battle, and the people were in urgent need of rest and recuperation. They really could not withstand too much turmoil.

However, Zhuge Liang, the Minister of Revenue, saw something different.

"Prime Minister, Lord Shangshu, do you think His Majesty is unaware that such an action will anger the Jintu family?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao shook his head and responded, "Your Majesty is an emperor of all ages, with profound knowledge of the military strategy. You are almighty and all-knowing. How could you not have calculated this?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty knew there would be such a consequence, why did you still do this?"

"Is there a possibility... that Your Majesty is playing a grand game, a game that could completely change the existing economic order?"

"If this game goes well, then not only will the people of our Great Qin no longer have to pay taxes."

"It can even, in the shortest possible time, make our Great Qin the financial powerhouse of all nations!"
