The old man was very happy.
"I'm back."
At the port of Spring Country, the navy ship slowly stopped. Standing on the bow deck, he looked at the scene that was different from the destruction and lifelessness some time ago.
Lu Ming murmured with a smile.
"It has changed a lot. It seems that Shinobu has appeased those people."
Ying, who was standing by, couldn't help but sigh.
After all, she has managed a country. Although she has always been the kind of person who hides and doesn't care much, she also knows that it is not easy to appease such a situation. At this moment, she admires Shinobu in her heart.
"It's really good. Let's go. Let's go first."
Lu Ming nodded and agreed with Ying's praise, and then took everyone off the boat first.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is back!"
"Your Majesty! Thank you, thank you!"
"…."
As soon as they arrived at the port, the people who found Lu Ming came over quickly.
They showed gratitude, recognition, surprise and other emotions in their eyes.
Even when one of them knelt down, the others followed suit.
Lu Ming was dumbfounded by the appearance of this scene.
To be honest, this kind of scene has never happened before.
Although the people of Spring Country who met him in the past were all very respectful to him, they were all a little afraid.
It was as if they had to respect him because he was the king.
But this time was different. This time he could feel that everyone was sincere, even kneeling down to him was willing.
Moreover, Lu Ming also felt something he had never felt before, that is, everyone's recognition of him.
"Everyone, get up quickly."
Although Lu Ming didn't understand why there was such a big change, he knew that now was not the time to think about it. He helped the person closest to him to stand up, and then asked everyone to stand up.
Although kneeling and saluting were not strange in the world of One Piece, Lu Ming was a modern soul after all. He still felt a little awkward when so many people knelt down to pay homage to him at once.
"Your Majesty, this is for you. Take it back and try it. This is what I got when I went out to sea today."
"And mine, mine, Your Majesty, take it back and try it too."
"No, no, how can I take your things? Take them back quickly."
Seeing that everyone stood up and enthusiastically presented various items, Lu Ming was a little stunned for a while.
It was too big, this change was really too big. To be honest, Lu Ming really felt that he couldn't adapt to it.
But the enthusiasm of the people was so strong that Lu Ming couldn't refuse for a while.
Fortunately, he took some items, and then left some Bailey and left here quickly.
It was really too much to handle, so I had to leave.
If it was a riot, Lu Ming could easily suppress it by force, but he really didn't know how to deal with the enthusiasm of the people.
"Huh, what's going on? What did Ren do? Why did the people's attitude towards me change so much?"
After leaving the port, Lu Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but when he saw the pedestrians on the road also showing him grateful and excited eyes, he was extremely curious about why such a change had occurred.
With curiosity, Lu Ming quickened his pace and led a group of people towards the palace.
"Huh? These buildings destroyed by Jin were rebuilt so quickly? Is the speed so fast?"
Along the way, looking at the area that was still a ruin when he left, not only has it recovered now, but it even looks a little better than before it was destroyed, Lu Ming was also very satisfied.
But after being satisfied, he didn't continue to look at anything else, and took a step to continue moving forward with a few people.
"Earth escape: Brick Technique!"
"Fire escape: Baking Technique!"
Soon, Lu Ming arrived at the gate of the palace. Before he could be surprised at the speed of the palace's construction, he heard the sound of a line of Anbu ninjas releasing ninjutsu not far away.
He looked over with curiosity, and the next second Lu Mingfeng's eyes widened. He saw that one ninja after another released ninjutsu to make usable stone bricks for construction.
Then, with the help of a group of the king's army, the stone bricks were built on the city wall, which surprised him at the speed of the city wall's construction.
"Can ninjas be used like this? Why didn't I think of it before?"
No
Although he was surprised, he felt that it was nothing after a while, after all, many devil fruit ability users can do this.
"Lord Lu Ming, you are back?"
After not watching the ninjas building the palace wall, Lu Ming stepped into the palace.
As soon as he walked in, he met the busy Kocho Ninja and Wang Ye.
"I'm back. Thank you for your hard work these days. By the way, what's the situation of the people outside?"
Lu Ming nodded, and then asked the most curious point.
After hearing Lu Ming's question, Ninja did not answer, but looked at Wang Ye next to him.
"Ahem, it's nothing, it just wiped out some unreasonable taxes and reduced their burden."
After saying that, Wang Ye's expression became serious and began to explain carefully.
In the world of One Piece, the development of the kingdom seems to be deformed.
A kingdom seems to have no other source of income except taxation. Maybe some kingdoms with good locations, such as Wano Country, can collect ore for sale, but those with bad locations, such as Spring Country, really rely on taxes.
Without other sources of income, the tax revenue must be very exaggerated, not only the amount collected, but also some unnecessary taxes are frighteningly many.
For example, there are taxes for going out to sea, fishing, and parking, etc.
And this is still good. Some kingdoms even have weather taxes.
The whole thing looks like naked money grabbing, robbing the money of the people in the kingdom.
And this deformity is not just one or two countries, but basically all kingdoms are like this.
Therefore, Wang Ye opened a precedent to erase these unnecessary taxes, giving the people hope for happiness for the first time, so the people's attitude towards Lu Ming has changed so much.
"Is there such a tax? I really don't know about this."
Listening to Wang Ye's words, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel surprised. He had been thinking about activating the system since he came here, and then there were all kinds of troubles. It was really the first time he learned about these taxes.
"No wonder Long can pull up such a large army."
With a sigh, Lu Ming also understood where the millions of troops of the Revolutionary Army came from.
"Master Lu Ming, you won't blame me for erasing these taxes, right?" After Wang Ye finished explaining, he looked at Lu Ming with some concern.
"Okay, don't worry about it. I don't care about such a small amount of taxes now."
The messy taxes may not add up to 100 million. Lu Ming really doesn't care about this amount now.
