Sitting amongst the imperial carriage, Zai Chun felt as if he was floating in a sea of heads. The commoners could already look up at the saints and see the spectacular sight of all the faces gathered together from the top to the bottom.
”Ouch …” This is the His Majesty! Young Sage! ”
”Oh, so that's the dragon and heavenly son. Look at their bearing, look at their bright yellow dragon robes …”
”There's hope for a new dynasty in Great Qing. Let me tell you, any young emperor who ascends the throne is a saint who started a prosperous era!”
”Don't believe me, because he's young. He's been ruling the country longer than others, and he's also experienced a lot, so he's rarely in turmoil …”
”This is the emperor who drank ink. Do you think he will force us to drink ink too?”
”Virtuous! How many pots of ink have you drunk? ”If you don't know any of the ten characters, you can f * ck yourself!”
”Lower your voice, be careful of others hearing you causing trouble …” ”Just wait patiently. When the time comes, there will definitely be some good stuff waiting for us, right?”
”What good thing? ”You always say …”
”Tax relief!” ”This is an old story. As long as the emperor goes on a patrol and the people receive him, he will have to issue a decree. He will definitely give us some benefits!”
As expected, imperial carriage s had just passed the main street of Tongzhou, and when they turned around, there would be servants running around carrying pail of paste.
”Long live the decree!” Exempt from taxes for three years all the people within fifty miles of the road... Long live the decree! ”
”Look, I told you that there was no reason for you to be affected by the cold! The His Majesty is brilliant! ”
Sometimes, a welcoming party was just a play. The emperor used taxes as red packets to buy a lively scene of your citizens!
With so many people welcoming him along the way, as well as those who previously put in an effort to help, the Emperor couldn't help but feel this way too!
The entire Tongzhou City, as well as the government roads that stretched to the left and right for fifty miles, all the towns and villages were exempted from taxes for three years.
Zai Chun would not be stingy with this small amount of money.
Today, out of all the commoners who came to greet him, some of them were over sixty years old, so each of them had a piece of Dragon Mark silver coin!
Those who were jobless or suffering from long-term illness and torture had a piece of Dragon Mark Silver Coin each!
Even if the widow was unemployed, living with her children in a difficult situation, they would each be rewarded with a silver coin!
The emperor's actions were all over the ocean with a single blow, not a single note!
This time, the crowd cheered even more. Seeing that the emperor had really brought out the Real Gold and Silver, just these few lines alone would make it impossible for him to take out a hundred thousand yuan from the ocean.
On the surface, Zai Chun looked like he enjoyed the scene where tens of thousands of people kowtowing and praising him, but inside, he was feeling cold!
”This little commoner only knows that being shortsighted is a small gain. Today, I give them benefits and they kowtow to me. In the future, when others give higher benefits, they will also kowtow to others!”
”Soldiers from the ancient times will be transferred to different places along with the wind!” ”It is the same for the people as well. They will choose to do the same for the children of heaven and their subjects!”
”People can't be trusted, they can't be trusted...” Only power is the only thing! ”
Zai Chun sat on top of the hill and looked at the scenery of the fields in the distance. There were villages, farmlands, ditches, trees … Suddenly, all of them transformed into factories, pipes, ditches and carts of steel and industrial products like the ones outside City of London.
”This is the most beautiful scene!”
