Shen Ze'an felt a little awkward about letting the young master pretend to be his own servant, but he found that Long Qi was very handy. I think he had gained a lot of practical experience from Qin Feng, and now he was very familiar with the disguise, and he gradually got used to it.

.

The three of them temporarily left the secret station. The only extra thing in Long Qi's backpack was the box, which contained the trump card specially designed for him by Qin Feng. In addition, Bale made Teda and Aru carry a lot of money.

Dry food and water.

The place they were in was actually not far from the capital. They did not go through the main entrance when entering the city. They chose a side gate to avoid the soldiers guarding the city and crossed directly. With Long Qi there and few people, it was completely relaxed.

Aru, who was accompanying him, became more and more surrendered to the young master whom he met for the first time. The respect before was because of his bloodline, but now it is because of his strength.

After entering the city, they immediately went to a crowded place and hid themselves in the streets. This was the first time for TEDA to undertake such a mission. He was young and was entrusted with an important task. His body was a little stiff. Long Qi immediately slapped him in the face.

onto his waist: "Relax!"

When he was about to approach the royal post station, Long Qi's sharp eyes noticed that there were guards guarding the door and there were hidden people watching nearby. He immediately looked away and whispered: "It seems that he is under house arrest."

Shen Li's real name is true. He was trapped in Sui City before. Now he comes to the Northern Desert and is imprisoned again?

Long Qi sighed in his heart and wondered if the two of them were in this royal inn. This was a place specially designed to welcome foreign guests and to receive envoys from other countries. It stands to reason that the two of them were caught and hunted while acting secretly, and they would definitely not be treated as envoys anymore.

Treat each other with courtesy.

If this is the case, why this place is so heavily guarded is really puzzling, unless the two of them did not expose their identities, hid them and then lived here, or was it simply a plan to lure their accomplices into taking the bait?

Long Qi had countless thoughts running through his mind, but he finally suppressed the throbbing in his heart and followed Shen Ze'an's footsteps to leave the place.

They found a more remote inn to stay in, and made a special trip to the teahouse. They vaguely heard them discussing recent anecdotes, saying that His Majesty suddenly fell into a hypochondriasis while resting in the palace, and got up in the middle of the night to snatch the guard's hand.

He killed the eunuch next to him with a knife.

In addition to the death of the eunuch, several minor palace maidens were also injured. In the end, it was the guards around Hai Motian who ignored Long Wei and swarmed over to subdue him, thus avoiding greater damage.

After Hai Motian woke up, he was extremely worried about his physical condition. He called the imperial doctors overnight to diagnose and treat him. Unfortunately, these imperial doctors had been practicing medicine for many years and did not dare to make a conclusion about Hai Motian's condition. In the end, it was the director of the Imperial Hospital who boldly said that he was poisoned.

result.

After this incident, martial law was imposed in the palace and in the city. The capital was guarded more strictly than ever before, and the identity of everyone entering and exiting was strictly checked to prevent thieves from sneaking into the capital.

When Shen Ze'an heard this, luckily they didn't expect to use false identities to enter the city. Now that the checks are so strict, there is no way for fake identity runes to get through. Not only that, it would be troublesome to worry about being checked even when walking on the street.

"Damn it, why is it such a mess, but there are still people who dare to poison His Majesty. Isn't it because they have eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage?"

Someone said loudly, taking the opportunity to express their respect and loyalty to His Majesty: "Your Majesty led us to live a good life during his reign. In the past, we only knew how to herd cattle and live in yurts. But now it is different. Our lives are enjoyable."

Unfortunately, as these words continued, some people curled their lips quietly and sneered at the remarks, and Long Qi even sneered.

In order to win people's hearts in the early days, Hai Mo Tian naturally gave away all the things at the bottom of the box to let everyone see the benefits, and then used golden armor to calm people's hearts. However, people's greed is endless. If you do well in the front, you will start later.

Gathering wool.

This word was also taught to him by Qin Feng. How to harvest the people's wool? It can only be done through taxation. In the early years, the taxation was similar to that in East Vietnam, and the people could accept it. Later, it was gradually increased and there were many names.

For example, Haimo Tianshen knew that the population proportion of the Mongol people was too large, so he could only belittle them if they could not kill them all, and then lower the proportion.

How to lower it so that the people he brought and the people from Beiguan who came to have more children.

Also to encourage childbirth, Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao formulated a policy of encouragement and support and did not force marriage. However, Hai Motian listened to someone's suggestion and actually came up with a plan to force marriage with taxes.

If a marriageable woman between the ages of fifteen and thirty does not marry, she will have to pay a fine. The amount of the fine is the regular tax for five people. In order not to pay such a high tax, ordinary families have no choice but to

Actively marry your daughter.

This kind of move has put great pressure on families with daughters. In order to avoid taxes, they have to marry off their daughters in a hurry. As a result, many girls marry inhumane and chaotic marriages, which has caused countless family disputes.

This also makes the injured party complain endlessly, and girls who are unwilling to marry in a hurry can only grit their teeth and bear the heavy tax and pay for it.

If it is said that this kind of tax is to stimulate marriage and childbirth, it is obviously outrageous to have to pay tax on salt. Beiguan is short of salt, so it has to import salt from Nanying and Dakun. Salt is also a controlled commodity, and the price has always been high.

In this case, in order to control the amount of salt used, Hai Motian has set a salt tax. All people who buy salt have to pay another tax, which makes the people worse. Now the import volume has increased, and the price has dropped.

, plus tax, it’s still expensive.

This is what Ada told him along the way. What is even more outrageous is that when natural disasters come, many grasslands in the Northern Desert are affected, and farmland is affected. Animal husbandry and agriculture suffer heavy losses. People's rations are not guaranteed. At that time, many refugees wanted to enter the capital.

.

At that time, Haimotian implemented a city entry tax. If you want to enter the capital, you must pay a fee. This move caused widespread resentment among the people, and it had to be canceled due to pressure. After this incident, Haimotian's image as a god finally collapsed a lot.

.

However, this person is also a smart man, and after reflection and summary, he has released benefits one after another. But what happened has happened, especially the leftover women tax is still in effect, and there is still hidden dissatisfaction among the people.

In Dakun, Qin Feng's various measures are considered people-oriented, but they can still cause misunderstandings and criticisms. Therefore, what he keeps saying is that if he wants the people to say something that sounds pleasing to them, he must first give it to the people.

Real benefits and benefits.

Hai Motian once gave, but now that he is older and has a smaller heart, he thinks that he gave too much in the past and now wants more in return. All these changes are reasonable.

There were voices everywhere in the teahouse, and those who agreed were naturally on the royal side unconditionally, while those who whispered were expressing their opinions secretly, or what they said was not allowed to be publicized or kept private.
