Chapter 186 186: Emperor Xue Ye
When an emperor only relies on taxes to define the living standards of the people, we cannot say that the emperor is fatuous. We can only say that he has not experienced the various conditions of the world and has not "enjoyed" that kind of life.
Common people in this period were considered to have a small amount of wealth if they could have one meal a day.
Arriving at the Snow Night Palace one floor after another, but still gaining a lot, only a little more every year, which shows how high the tax is, almost 89 out of 10.
In a village like Saint Soul Village with a good harvest, the village chief is so poor. One can imagine the current situation of the entire Douluo Continent.
The only thing civilians can rely on is for their martial souls to awaken their innate soul power, then become soul masters and change their class.
But how strong can the physical fitness of civilians who don't even have enough to eat be?
Awakening soul power is even more of a luxury!
Occasionally, there are one or two children who awaken their soul power, and it’s like smoke rising from the ancestral graves!
Yin Zhi has been in Douluo Continent for so long and has traveled around for so long. He has seen countless sufferings. The most painful thing is that the people can't even afford to eat.
These are the most basic necessities of life, not to mention that bandits are causing trouble, nobles are using their power to bully others, soul beasts are rioting, and wolves and thieves are rampant.
Yin Zhi sighed. Although he had great martial arts skills, he could not conjure materials out of thin air. He could also share his materials with others, but he could only save a moment, not a lifetime.
Ultimately, the world is sick.
In the eyes of the nobles, the common people are just cattle and horses. Giving them a bite to eat and not letting them starve to death is already a great mercy.
After all, civilians have no land, and all resources are in the hands of the nobles.
"Emperor Xueye."
Yin Zhi stood up, placed his right hand across his heart, bowed slightly to Xue Ye and saluted.
Seeing this, Xue Ye was puzzled, but he still stood up and gave an aristocratic salute to Yin Zhi.
He couldn't bear the gift from this great god.
Everyone at the VIP table was stunned, not understanding what happened.
Aren’t we going to talk about the suffering in the world again?
"Emperor Xueye, if you have time and determination, you should go to the border towns and villages to have a look."
"Tian Dou City is magnificent, and the main city is equally colorful, like a fairyland on earth."
"In a bitter cold land, a small border town, the civilians there not only have to face several types of enemies, but also have to worry about one meal a day."
Yes, one meal a day!
"My spear is invincible and has killed countless evils, but it still cannot bring them a better life..."
After hearing this, everyone at the VIP table had different thoughts.
Some people sneered, some were dismissive, and some people had some doubts and pity.
Xue Beng sneered in his heart. Although civilians were subjects of the empire, were civilians considered human beings?
They are just the assets of the nobles.
In the original time and space, although Xue Beng became the new emperor, the living standards of the civilians under his rule were still poor. But it didn't get any improvement, but dropped a lot.
This has something to do with Tang San. After becoming a noble, he forgot that he was also a commoner. He somewhat lived up to the "title" of King Lan Hao, of course, only for commoners.
For a nobleman, how good King Lan Hao is!
Defeat the evil Wuhundian and turn the rebellious Mudlegs into Mudlegs again!
In order to prevent the mud-legged people from rebelling again, we must cut off this kind of thing from the source. Therefore, if the civilians want to stand up again, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Emperor Xueye fell into deep thought. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a legend among the Tiandou Emperors in his life.
Seize the throne, eliminate the rebellion, check and balance the Wuhun Palace, restrain the Star Luo Empire, and gain the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
All of this was accomplished by him during this period.
It is not an exaggeration to call him the emperor of the Tiandou Empire.
The only weakness is his soul power cultivation, which is really too weak. But there is nothing that can be done about it. The inherited martial spirit of the Tiandou royal family is a swan, and its quality is not very high.
Although Yin Zhi's words were relatively obscure, Xue Ye heard something!
His people are not living as well as he imagined!
"Knight Silver Branch is right. When I, the deacon of Wuhun Hall, go to help those civilians awaken their martial souls every year, I can see the hard lives of those civilians."
"What's more, the members of Wuhun Palace basically come out of that kind of life."
"Emperor Xueye, you should see more and walk more."
Salas crossed his arms and said calmly.
There was still some sarcasm in his tone.
He didn't think Emperor Xue Ye really cared about the lives of civilians.
Even the life and death of civilian soul masters, the two empires didn't care much about, let alone civilians.
If it weren't for Wuhun Palace's "fighting" efforts, low-level soul masters would probably have a hard time living.
Faced with Salas' sarcasm, Emperor Xueye glanced at Salas lightly, but didn't say much.
Judging from Salas's performance, Yin Zhi's words were not a lie. Judging from the silence of everyone, his people were really suffering.
So, where do those taxes come from?
Emperor Xue Ye really wanted to take a look, but his body was getting worse day by day...
"Qinghe."
Seeing Emperor Xue Ye calling out, "Xue Qinghe" was slightly startled and came back from his thoughts.
"Father?"
"After the game is over, go to the place the Silver Branch Knight said and experience the people's livelihood."
As if thinking of something, Xue Ye glanced at Xue Beng and continued: "By the way, bring this worthless thing with you!"
"Xue Qinghe", avalanche: "..."
Xue Beng's pupils shrank. His father asked Xue Qinghe to take him out?
This is because he is afraid that he will not die early enough! ?
"Xue Qinghe" was stunned and asked her to experience people's livelihood. It was probably Xue Ye who wanted to find a way to get off the stairs because of her face.
But what's the purpose of letting her bring the avalanche?
"Yes, Father!"
"Yes, Father!"
No matter how stupid Xue Beng was, he didn't dare to refute Xue Ye's words at this time.
I can only think of a way in private to see if I can get Xue Ye to take back his life.
If he goes out with "Xue Qinghe", he probably won't be able to come back.
The two looked at each other with a meaningful look in their eyes.
"Knight of the Silver Branch, thank you for your advice, otherwise I'm afraid I would be smiling under the guise of making everyone happy."
"My achievements in this life are comparable to those of my ancestors, but I never thought that something like this would happen."
"What a despicable person! You have no face to face your ancestors!"
After saying this, a ray of golden light burst out from Emperor Xueye's eyes, his fists clenched, and murderous intent boiling.
He seemed to have made up his mind. After bowing to the silver branch, he sat down again.
There are many monsters, ghosts, and snakes in the world, but no one in the entire Tiandou Empire who can touch him on Xueye has yet to be born!
He wanted to see how many things happened in places he didn't know about.
What happened!
