“…”
For a time, all the people in the city were grateful to Ying Yuan.
When Yuan Tiangang and others who were hiding in a dark corner of the city learned about this, they all sighed that Ying Yuan was very courageous:
"If it were the Emperor of our Yan State, I'm afraid he would never exempt the capital from taxes."
"The Qin Emperor came here to win over the people of Jin. I think exempting the capital from taxes is only the first step!"
"If this continues, the people of Jin will no longer harbor any hatred towards the Qin Emperor!"
"The Qin Emperor has always been very good at winning the hearts of the people. Right now, we can only place our hopes on the Jintu family."
"That's right. Uniting with the noble families and secretly opposing the Qin State is the only thing we can do."
“…”
Things have come to this point, and they are helpless.
We can only let the situation develop.
At the beginning, they originally thought that they could use their own secret operations and the Jintu family to rebel against the court.
This will make the people of the former Jin State increasingly hate the Qin State.
Over time, war will break out here.
In fact, their actions or plans have been proceeding in an orderly manner.
It will definitely take effect in time.
But with Ying Yuan's arrival, they suddenly discovered a horrifying fact.
That is, no matter what efforts you have made before, they are all in vain now.
Emperor Ying Yuan of Qin only paid a very small price, even just a few words.
All they had invested countless manpower and resources to accomplish was completely wasted.
Just ask.
Among all the nations, who else can do this except Ying Yuan?
Therefore, the bad commander Yuan Tiangang said to everyone with heartfelt emotion:
"I thought that even if Emperor Qin came here, with my ability, I could have a match with him."
"It is only now that I understand that the Qin Emperor Ying Yuan's methods are far beyond our imagination."
"I... am not worthy to be his opponent."
With Yuan Tiangang's ability, saying such words is enough to prove Ying Yuan's strength.
You know, even if Yuan Tiangang is a minister of Yan.
But he was also confident that if he was born in an enemy country and stood on the opposite side of Yan Emperor Li Shimin, he would be able to sit down with him and play a few chess pieces with him.
However, when facing Ying Yuan, he didn't even have the chance to play a few games against him.
The painstaking planning of many days was like a punch on cotton, and was completely shattered by Ying Yuan's methods.
For the empress, people like Yuan Tiangang are undoubtedly terrifying.
but.
Even he said that he was far inferior to Ying Yuan.
This could not help but shock the empress, who blurted out:
"What? The dignified Bad Commander is actually backing down now?"
Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm backing down, but looking around the world, there are very few people who can play against the Qin Emperor."
"I have a premonition that the future decline of Great Yan will definitely be related to Emperor Qin."
"so..."
At this point, his tone suddenly became fierce.
"For the sake of Yan State, Emperor Qin must die!"
The empress nodded and said nothing.
But I thought in my heart:
"Emperor Qin, a man who could tremble in fear among other nations, and even make the emperors of other countries unable to sleep at night just thinking about him, what on earth is this..."
"What kind of magic does it have?"
At this moment, Yuan Tiangang's voice suddenly rang in her ears again.
"Emperor Qin easily destroyed almost all of my plans."
"However, his strategy also has its drawbacks. If he only exempts taxes in Shangjing City, the people in other places will definitely be unhappy."
"Furthermore, a strategy like tax exemption will cause the Great Qin to lose a lot of benefits. For me, this is also a disguised way of fulfilling the instructions of His Majesty."
-------------------------------------
In the past few days, Ying Yuan has been paying close attention to the every move of the people in Shangjing City.
He listened to a lot from Xu Chu and others.
At this moment, the people of the whole city were praising him as a good emperor who loved his people like his own children.
To be honest, Ying Yuan felt a little unhappy when he heard such praise.
after all.
He was determined to be a tyrant.
How can one become a good emperor?
However, he had already said the tax exemption, and it would be embarrassing for him to take it back.
Moreover, what he originally thought was that no matter how foolish he was, he could not affect the lives of the people.
So, he had to find another way out and thought of a way that might change his reputation among the people.
"The situation is similar across all nations. The people are all controlled by the aristocratic families."
"If I offend the aristocratic merchants of Jin, will they do their utmost to ruin my reputation among the people?"
"Moreover, the forces of the Yan Kingdom came here with this purpose, hoping to incite the Jin Tu family to oppose me and the Qin Dynasty."
"Since that's the case, why don't I just go with the flow?"
Thinking of this, the thought of being incompetent and ruining the country suddenly emerged in Ying Yuan's mind.
That is to completely offend the aristocratic families in Jin.
He no longer collected taxes from the people.
However, taxes still had to be collected from wealthy merchants.
Not only do we have to collect it, we have to collect it double!
As long as the aristocratic merchants feel the heavy burden of taxes, they will definitely try every possible means to resist me.
Then unite the people of Jin and rebel against me!
