Chapter 348 Small Country
From the old man's mouth, Lin Qian understood why the people of the Qin Dynasty on the road had such expressions.
It is entirely because the Qin Dynasty used the people they were looking for as livestock, regardless of their life and hardship.
Like Old Man Qi's son, although he is only at the ninth level of the Yuan Realm at the age of thirty, and his talent is so poor, he can still hunt and kill some low-level soul beasts and sell their fur for a living.
However, the taxation of the Qin Dynasty was extremely heavy, and 80% of the income of ordinary people had to be handed over to the Dynasty, and they could only keep 20%.
It doesn't matter if the income is only 20%, the soul fighters of the Qin Dynasty, such as the city guards of Yushui City, often raided ordinary people.
Therefore, the people of the Qin Dynasty have always been extremely poor, and only the soul warriors of this dynasty are rich.
This kind of deformed dynasty disgusted Lin Qian very much. Now he wished to destroy the Qin Dynasty immediately. Enslaving his own people like this was no better than those of other races.
Moreover, the common people have no way to resist. In this world, force is the most important thing. For example, the people of the entire city of Yushui City are gathered together, and they are no match for the guards of the city of thousands of people.
What's more, there are more than a thousand people in the city guards, and there are as many as two hundred thousand.
Therefore, ordinary people like Old Man Qi don't have the slightest sense of belonging to the Qin Dynasty. Instead, they wish that the Shuangji Temple, Xiaoyaozong and Xueling Valley will destroy the Qin Dynasty.
If possible, Lin Qian was unwilling to start a war, as this would only cause the people to suffer.
But now Lin Qian discovered that launching a war against the Qin Dynasty was a good thing for the suffering people, and destroying the other's dynasty would be a matter of great merit!
Thinking of this, Lin Qian was also happy, and looked at the old man Qi in front of him: "Old man, let me tell you the truth, the boy is the emperor of an empire."
"Emperor?" Hearing Lin Qian's words, the old man Qi rubbed his eyes from taking a lot of recovery potions, and asked a little puzzled, "The old man has only heard of the Human Emperor or the Great Emperor, but he has never heard of the Emperor."
Hearing Lin Qian's words, the old man also laughed out loud. His grandson was out of danger, which made him feel much better.
Regarding Lin Qian's claim to be the lord of an empire, he didn't believe it at first, but seeing the seriousness on the other side's face, he couldn't help but believe it.
"The people of my empire will be protected by the imperial army, and nothing will happen to bully the people, and the people whose income is below 4,000 low-grade soul crystals don't need to pay tax crystals." Old man Zai Qi asked When talking about the living conditions of the people in his empire, Lin Qian explained with a smile.
In Lin Qian's eyes, the people are the foundation of an empire, and only when they live and work in peace and contentment can they build a better empire together.
Soul fighters also come from the common people. Under such an atmosphere, the common people have a sense of belonging and honor to the empire they live in. If there are talents among them, they will willingly contribute their strength for the empire.
Only a prosperous and prosperous posture that is strong from childhood to adulthood and from bottom to top can be a powerful empire.
Lin Qian now looks down on the Qin Dynasty, which has been passed down for thousands of years, from the bottom of his heart. A dynasty that ruled by force and coercion is not worthy of having such a vast land and so many people.
This land should belong to a better Chinese Empire!
While Lin Qian ensured the bottom line in his heart, he did not suppress his desire for territory. The starting state and Linhai state developed too fast in just two short periods of time, and he could foresee that the land of the two states would be completely not enough.
Even adding Fengzhou and Lianshan Prefecture, plus Sifang Prefecture is not enough.
Lin Qian needed more land!
"The Qin Dynasty is no longer suitable to exist in this land." While Lin Qian was thinking silently, the old man Qi looked longingly at the young man in front of him.
I don't know why, old man Qi just believed what Lin Qian said,
The people living in this young man's empire must be living happily.
"It would be great if we could live in this young man's empire!" Old man Qi murmured as he thought to himself.
"Old man, I believe this day will come soon." Just as old man Qi was muttering, Lin Qian's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting his imagination.
Hearing Lin Qian's words, old man Qi shook his head in disbelief: "I'm afraid I won't see the old man in my lifetime."
"Why?" Seeing that old man Qi was so pessimistic, Lin Qian asked a little incomprehensibly.
The old man Qi shook his head, and said to Lin Qian in front of him, "Young man, although the old man is an ordinary person, he still knows some things. A war of such a big force can't be fought without a few decades."
"The old man knows that the young man is with the three forces that attacked the Qin Dynasty, and he will definitely include part of the Qin Dynasty's territory in the future. By this time, everyone should be able to enjoy the kind of life you mentioned. "
"But it is estimated that it will be decades later, and Yan'er may see that day."
Lin Qian had indeed heard of this matter for decades.
Just like the Qin Dynasty's territory is extremely wide, if you want to completely defeat this dynasty, you will naturally have to break through one city after another in the dynasty's territory.
However, with the existence of defensive formations, the speed of the two sides' attacks must be very slow, and the battle situation must be stalemate.
What's more, the territory of the Qin Dynasty is so vast. When will it be possible to conquer so many cities?
The closer the strength of the two warring parties, the longer they will last each other. This is something that old man Qi knows.
The reason why the war has dragged on for so long is the stalemate in the defensive formation.
However, this is what happens in normal wars between the Qin Dynasty and the three parties. Now that Lin Qian's Huaxia Empire has joined, the situation will of course change dramatically.
"Old man, after my empire joins the war, in just three years, I will be able to annihilate the Qin Dynasty and take most of the territory into my pocket." Seeing old man Qi's expression of emotion, Lin Qian was shocked Confidently said, "Within three years, the old man will be able to feel what it would be like to be a citizen of the Chinese Empire."
Hearing Lin Qian's words, the old man Qi laughed out loud and shook his head again and again: "The young man just likes to brag. Although the Qin Dynasty is unbearable, the strength of this dynasty is still very strong. How could it be destroyed in three years? Impossible, Impossible."
In the eyes of ordinary people like old man Qi, although the Qin Dynasty was cruel and heartless, as his people, they knew deeply what kind of strength such a beast had.
Regarding Old Man Qi's disbelief, Lin Qian didn't say much, he just smiled.
decades?
It is too long for the Huaxia Empire, three years is enough.
"The world in all directions is too small after all, the Qin Dynasty..." Lin Qian looked at the disbelieving old man Qi, and thought to himself, "The Huaxia Empire is a small country in your eyes, but in my eyes, what is your Qin Dynasty? Isn't it?"
