The Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial city of Chang'an.
Today, a piece of news swept the entire Da Zhou.
Empress Tianning issued an edict to the people of the Great Zhou, confessing her sins and asking for forgiveness from the people of the world.
The supreme emperor actually apologized to the people!
In her "Confession of Sins", Empress Tianning confessed to the people of Great Zhou that the three princes of Great Zhou had been captured by the Northern Liao Empire.
As the empress of the Great Zhou, she should immediately send troops to rescue the three princes.
However, the current Great Zhou is simply unable to send troops.
In the face of national humiliation, she, the Empress of the Great Zhou, was unable to uphold the dignity of the Great Zhou.
In her "Edict of Confession of Sins", Empress Tianning felt deeply that she had made a mistake and once again made a sincere apology to the people.
The second half of the "Edict of Confession of Sins" also explains why she did not send troops to attack Northern Liao.
The Great Zhou Empire has run out of money...
The war to unify South Asia that lasted for hundreds of years had already destroyed the foundation of the Great Zhou Empire.
But this war of unification is to keep the people of Nanzhou away from the disasters of war forever.
As the ruler of the country, Empress Tianning must consider the descendants of Nanzhou no matter how difficult it is.
In the Edict of Confession of Sins, there is this sentence:
"The war is over in our generation so that our descendants won't have to go through the suffering of war!"
This sentence is particularly interesting and is particularly acceptable to the people.
Is the war to unify South Asia wrong?
Even if it is incorporated into the old territories of the four kingdoms of the Great Zhou, it would not be wrong.
The unification of the world is the general trend.
Even if the Great Zhou did not send troops, other countries would still send troops against the Great Zhou.
Everyone understands one thing.
This battle must be fought.
Empress Tianning has done her best to minimize the impact on people's lives.
The impact on people's lives is not that great.
But the Great Zhou Empire had exhausted all its treasury reserves.
In the last part of the "Edict of Confession of Sins", one thing was announced to the world.
The local accumulation of the Great Zhou was also in a critical state.
After merging the old territories of the four kingdoms, Empress Tianning spent a lot of effort to mobilize the royal surplus grain from all over the country to fully restore and rebuild the old territories of the four kingdoms.
The people of the Great Zhou all know this.
They are also very grateful.
Empress Tianning did not increase taxes. After the central reserves were exhausted, she took out local imperial grain to support the recovery of the war-torn areas.
When the people of the former territories of the four countries saw this part of the "Edict of Confession of Sins", they no longer had any desire for secession.
A monarch who tries every possible means to make your life good is more worthy of your following.
Compared to the war-torn days in the past, life today is much better.
This "Edict of Confession of Sins" ends with three sentences.
"I want to kill the bandits, but I am unable to raise food, and I don't want to impose taxes on the people."
"I beg the people of Great Zhou to help me in this difficult time for the country. Please help me overcome this disaster."
"Once we have sufficient troops and horses, I and the Great Zhou Iron Cavalry will become citizens of the Great Zhou and wash away the national humiliation."
After returning to the Zhenguo Mansion, Lin Yong also saw the contents of the "Edict of Confession of Sins".
Even he had to admire that Empress Tianning was very smart:
"This silly woman actually knows how to retreat in order to advance and take advantage of the situation."
"In today's Great Zhou, the people's fighting spirit is the strongest. If she asks for help, most people are willing to help."
"If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. As long as the people are not stupid, they will know that the Great Zhou is gone, and their good days are over."
Lin Yong could imagine the donations from the people of the Great Zhou.
He could even think of it.
Given Empress Tianning's compassion for the people, she would definitely not accept donations from the grassroots people.
However, she would definitely eat up all the donations from the gentry and merchants.
"The contributions of the people were all returned, but the money of the gentry and merchants was all eaten up."
"That silly woman is just like some gangsters, but she operates in reverse."
What Lin Yong didn't expect was.
As the situation developed, many things began to go astray.
Somehow.
The gentry and merchants actually took the initiative to contact the civil service organization headed by Zhang Xun and demanded the implementation of a policy of unified taxation for gentry and merchants.
This is something that sets an example for the world, so Duke Anguo is certainly willing to do it.
After this.
All citizens of the Great Zhou Dynasty are treated equally and are required to pay taxes.
Of course, the grassroots people are very supportive of this policy.
Witnessing the disappearance of privilege is something that can really stabilize people's hearts.
certainly.
There were also officials and businessmen who were unwilling to carry out the order.
only.
The Supervisory Office of Zi Ye, the Female Prime Minister of the Nation, had already received the secret order from Empress Tianning.
There is no such thing as a 100% clean person in this world.
It is not difficult for the Supervisory Office to produce some evidence to dismiss and arrest certain officials and businessmen.
This move also effectively served as a warning to others.
Those who are unwilling to implement the new policy have no choice but to obey or resist, and there is no choice but to refuse.
It's easy to obey nature, there's no evidence, and it's good for everyone.
Resistance is easier to say.
The people of Chang'an Imperial City were all inspired to fight by Lin Yong's divinity.
You rebelled, or even attempted rebellion!?
The merchants and officials of the Chang'an Imperial City immediately jumped out to deal with these people.
When they encounter an enemy they cannot handle, the Duke of Zhenguo’s military department will be dispatched immediately!
There is nothing to say about resistance, just kill them.
Lin Yong's nerves are very sharp...
He smelled something unusual in it.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
