Invasion of another world: starting with slime

In the extreme pain, the memory of that period of 20 years ago gradually became clear.

The rise of the four countries has become a foregone conclusion, and the power of the temple has completely declined.

The Demon Worship Cult has also disappeared, only the City of Immortality 33 does not care about the area, and occasionally there are related information about the Demon Worship Cult.

Some are true, others are just rumors.

The Country of Summer is located in the western part of the mainland. Since the westernmost point of the border is the continuous and tall Dragon Bone Mountains, the wind blowing from the sea is completely blocked, and the inland is extremely dry.

And the farther to the east, the more fertile the land.

At that time, there was only one top nobleman in the Kingdom of Xia, and that was Grand Duke Yunqi, who was sitting in a city of 600 million people.

Grand Duke Yunqi was the most well-deserved No. [-] nobleman at that time, and his status in the Kingdom of Xia was even higher than that of Duke Donghu in the Kingdom of Autumn.

In addition to owning the richest eastern territory in the entire Xia Kingdom, the most important thing is that he treats the people under his rule really well, and has won the hearts of the people.

At this point, within the four countries, no one can match.

But it was because of this that the eminent Duke Yun Qi aroused the emperor's suspicion.

Without him, the master of high meritorious service is not obedient.

If Grand Duke Yun Qi was just an obedient puppet, the emperor of Xia Kingdom and many nobles would not have much opinion.

The mistake was that he and the emperor had disagreements in certain opinions.

When a conspiracy led by an imperial emperor against this great nobleman who loves the people is being conceived.

No one can think of it.

Twenty years ago, the Kingdom of Xia suffered from severe drought, but tax collection orders from the imperial capital became more and more frequent.

Wang Yunqi, who was still young at the time, couldn't help feeling worried.

"If this continues, it will be very difficult for civilians to survive."

The woman in fox fur at the side looked at her husband frowning, but didn't know how to comfort him.

She could only silently walk behind her husband and rub his shoulders for him.

Wang Yunqi turned around and put his wife's hand into his palm, looking at the swollen belly, he showed a smile.

In all the bad news, there is good news.

His wife has been pregnant for seven months. If there is no accident, he will become a father in more than two months.

"Go back and rest first, I will take care of these things."

Wang Yunqi sent his wife into the carriage, returned to the manor, and stayed alone in the administrative hall.

The empire's original taxation was already heavy, but suddenly encountered a drought, and these people who lived on the land became more and more difficult.

Even under such circumstances, the orders from the imperial capital continued to increase.

If taxes are really collected according to the intention of the imperial capital, there will be no one in the entire territory.

Even now, the situation of changing children and eating has appeared secretly.

It's just that due to Grand Duke Yunqi's reputation among the people, there has been no turmoil for the time being.

Perhaps in the eyes of those dignitaries in the imperial capital, the so-called Yizishishishi is just a word in the history books.

But for Wang Yunqi, he had seen it with his own eyes.

Children do not have much productivity, and they are a burden during a famine.

When everyone is starving to death without enough to eat.

They would sneak together to discuss and bring back a strange child after a while.

"That's my son, you must be more agile when the time comes, he is afraid of pain."

"Understood, my daughter is wealthy and fatter than your son. We lost money this time, and you have to pay it back next time."

"understood……"

"Let's go back……"

Wang Yunqi had stopped it time and time again, but apart from more starving people, there was no difference.

His heart was bleeding, but there was nothing he could do.

The grand master of the holy rank is still helpless in the face of natural disasters.

Too many people.

In Yunqi City alone, there are 600 million people, not counting the vast eastern land.

He can't just watch the situation continue like this, and must make changes.

The most serious differences were also planted at this time.

Except for Wang Yunqi, the other feudal nobles were also sad.

They are not suffering from the suffering of the people in the fief.

The life and death of those people are decided by the nobles, and death is death.

However, too many people died, and the income of the nobles would also decrease.

Following the orders of the imperial capital, taxes were continuously increased, and every bit of flesh and blood of the people was scraped off.

But even so, sooner or later the search will be over.

Then, at that time, the nobles paid out of their own pockets to fill the vacancies.

For this group of nobles, the people in the fief died as soon as they died, but their own treasury was empty, that was another matter.

They've all heard that Grand Duke Yunqi loves the people like his own son, he is the kind of genuinely good person, it's not the same as their show.

Therefore, Grand Duke Yun Qi will definitely not watch so many people starve to death, he will definitely do something.

Since the interests are the same, why not follow him.

The sky is falling and there is a tall man on it.

In the next month, other nobles continued to visit to discuss tax matters with Grand Duke Yunqi.

Suddenly one day, someone spread the news.

Grand Duke Yunqi will go to the imperial capital to ask for orders from the emperor to lower taxes and at the same time sow relief food to save the people.

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.

These two things are things that can be used to make money.

As for taxes, as long as the imperial capital issued an order to reduce taxes, the extra would all go into their own pockets, right?

As for the food for disaster relief, nine out of ten there is no such thing, and if there is, then they can earn a lot of money.

why not.

In this way, in just one month, nearly four-fifths of the feudal nobles in the Kingdom of Xia jointly signed a request for tax reduction. Grand Duke Yun Qi represented them and went to the imperial capital Midsummer City to negotiate with the emperor.

At this moment, it seemed that many nobles had changed their temper, and stood in the united front with Grand Duke Yunqi, who had never been seen by the noble class.

Wang Yunqi naturally knew their small thoughts, but it had to be like this now.

Only by relying on a large number of people and coercing the general situation can we truly negotiate with the emperor and let that stubborn and somewhat arrogant monarch make concessions.

On this day, Wang Yunqi boarded the carriage to the imperial capital.

"Sir, please be careful when you go to the imperial capital."

Wang Yunqi's brows have been relaxed because of the smooth progress of the petition.

"Ma'am, don't worry, I will go and come back quickly this time. With the support of many nobles, I will definitely be able to solve the problem of this famine."

The pregnant woman burst into tears.

"There is still more than one month, and our child is about to be born. You must come back early."

Wang Yunqi boarded the chariot and looked back at the woman.

"Ma'am, I will definitely come back before the child is born, and I will think about the name of the child.

Don't worry too much, just take care of yourself and wait for me to come back. "

Seemingly thinking of something, Wang Yunqi hesitated to speak, and finally urged.

"Ma'am, don't go out recently, just tell the servants to do anything."

"it is good."
