Douluo: Reincarnation of Silver Branch, carrying out the name of purity and beauty!

Chapter 186: Emperor Xue Ye

When an emperor defines the living standards of his people solely by taxation, we cannot say that he is incompetent. We can only say that he has not experienced the various aspects of life in the world and has not "enjoyed" that kind of life.

For common people in this period, being able to have a meal a day was considered a small asset.

They arrived at the Snowy Night Palace layer after layer, but still harvested a lot, more and more every year, which shows how high the tax was, almost eight or nine out of ten.

Even a village like Holy Soul Village, which has a good harvest, has a village chief who is so tight on money. You can imagine the current situation of the entire Douluo Continent.

The only thing civilians can rely on is to awaken their innate soul power through their martial souls, and then become soul masters and change their class.

But how strong can the physical fitness of civilians be if they can’t even get enough food to eat?

Awakening soul power is even more of a luxury!
Occasionally, one or two children with awakened soul power would appear, which would be a great honor for our ancestors!

Yinzhi has been in Douluo Continent for so long and has traveled for so long, and has seen countless hardships. The most miserable thing is that the people can't even afford to eat.

These are the most basic necessities of life, not to mention the bandits causing chaos, the nobles bullying others, the soul beasts rioting, and the wolf thieves running rampant.

Yinzhi sighed. Although he possessed extraordinary martial arts skills, he could not conjure supplies out of thin air. He could share his supplies with others, but he could only save them temporarily, not forever.

Ultimately, it is the world that is sick.

In the eyes of the nobles, civilians are just cattle and horses. Giving them food and not letting them starve to death is already a great mercy.

After all, common people have no land, and all resources are in the hands of the nobles.

"Emperor Xue Ye."

Yinzhi stood up, placed her right hand across her heart, bowed slightly to Xue Ye, and saluted.

When Xue Ye saw this, although he was confused, he also stood up and performed a noble salute to Yinzhi.

He could not afford the gift from this great god.

Everyone in the VIP seats was stunned and didn't understand what was going on.

Aren’t we still talking about the sufferings in the world?

“Emperor Xue Ye, if you have the time and determination, you should go to the border town and the village to take a look.”

"Tiandou City is magnificent, and the main city is equally colorful, like a fairyland on earth."

"In a bitterly cold place, in a small border town, the civilians there not only have to face several kinds of enemies, but also have to worry about having a meal a day."

Yes, one meal a day!
"My spear is invincible, and has slain countless evils, but it still cannot bring them a better life..."

After hearing this, everyone in the VIP seats had different thoughts.

Some sneered, some were dismissive, and some with a little bit of respect had some doubts and sympathy.

Xue Beng sneered in his heart. Although civilians are citizens of the empire, are they considered human beings?
They are just assets of the nobility.

In the original time and space, although Xue Beng became the new emperor, the living standards of the civilians under his rule did not improve at all, but instead declined a lot.

This has something to do with Tang San. After becoming a noble, he forgot that he was also born a commoner. He somewhat lived up to the "title" of King Lan Hao. Of course, this is only true for commoners.

King Lan Hao is so great for the nobles!
Defeat the evil Spirit Hall and turn the rebellious peasants back into peasants again!

In order to prevent the peasants from rebelling again and to eliminate such incidents at the root, it will be extremely difficult for the common people to stand up again!
Emperor Xue Ye fell into deep thought. It was not an exaggeration to call his life a legend among the emperors of Tiandou.

Seize the throne, eliminate rebellion, check and balance the Spirit Hall, restrain the Xingluo Empire, and gain the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

He achieved all of this during this period.

It is no exaggeration to call him the greatest emperor of all time in the Tiandou Empire.

The only weakness was his soul power, which was too weak. But there was nothing he could do about it, as the inherited martial soul of the Tiandou royal family was the swan, which was not of very high quality.

Although Yinzhi's words were rather obscure, Xue Ye was able to understand something!
His people were not living as well as he imagined!
"What the Silver Branch Knight said is right. Every year when I, the Spirit Hall deacon, go to help those civilians awaken their spirits, I can see the hard life they lead."

"What's more, most of the members of my Spirit Hall have come from that kind of life."

"Emperor Xue Ye, you should look around more and walk around more."

Sarath folded his arms and said calmly.

There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

He didn't think that Emperor Xue Ye really cared about the lives of civilians.

The two empires don't even want to care about the life and death of civilian soul masters, let alone civilians.

If it weren’t for the Spirit Hall’s efforts to “fight” for it, low-level spirit masters would probably have a hard time living.

Facing Sarath's sarcasm, Emperor Xue Ye glanced at Sarath indifferently but did not say much.

Judging from Sarath's behavior, Yinzhi's words were not lies, and judging from the silence of the crowd, his people were truly suffering.

So, where do those taxes come from?
Emperor Xue Ye wanted to go and take a look, but his health was getting worse day by day...

"Qinghe."

Seeing Emperor Xue Ye calling out, Xue Qinghe was slightly stunned and came back to his senses from his thoughts.

"Father?"

"After the competition, go to the place that the Silver Branch Knight mentioned and experience the people's livelihood."

As if he had thought of something, Xue Ye glanced at Xue Beng and continued, "Oh, by the way, take this useless thing with you too!"

"Xue Qinghe", Avalanche: "..."

Xue Beng's pupils shrank. His father asked Xue Qinghe to take him out?

Are you afraid that he won't die early enough?!
"Xue Qinghe" was stunned. Asking her to experience the people's livelihood was probably because Xue Ye was embarrassed to save face and wanted to find a way out.

But what's the purpose of letting her bring an 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 decision.

If he goes out with "Xue Qinghe", he will most likely never come back.

The two looked at each other with meaningful expressions in their eyes.

"Silver Branch Knight, thank you for your guidance. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would die with a smile on my face under the guise of happiness for all the people."

"My achievements in this life are comparable to those of my ancestors, but I never expected something like this to happen."

"This is truly a despicable act. I have no face to face our ancestors!"

After saying this, a golden light burst out from Emperor Xue Ye's eyes, his fists clenched, and murderous intent boiled over.

He seemed to have made up his mind. After bowing to Yinzhi, he sat down again.

There are numerous monsters in the world, but in the entire Tiandou Empire, the one who can fight him on a snowy night has not yet been born!
He wanted to see how many things had happened in places he didn't know about.

What on earth happened!
