Chapter 257: Saint Monarch

readx;? When Shen Ju brought back the news of the fire outside, even Li Badao felt very excited, obviously, after these two big victories, the situation in Zhong'an Province has been completely stabilized, even if there is occasionally Wang Tingxuanshi who slips through the net here, there will definitely not be any more danger. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Wang Tingxuanshi who rely on these wine bags and rice bags, can only rely on utopian dreams if they want to set off any storms.

Without waiting for any reaction from Hanoi Province, Li Badao directly sent people to various worldly cities to appease those ordinary people. Of course, pacification is just a way of saying, and the real thing to do is naturally to tell them that Zhong'an Province will change masters from now on, and it will no longer be Wang Tingxuanshi who is guarding here, but they will be replaced by these rebels. Until now, Li Badao still has no resistance to their rebel status, after all, this is actually just a name, even if he gives himself a high-sounding name, in the eyes of the people, they are all rebels who rebel against Wang Tingxuanshi, so instead of coming up with so many nice names but being made fun of in the end, it is better to simply admit that he is a rebel now, which is better.

This idea is not wrong, it should not only be the case in Zhong'an Province, in fact, in the entire kingdom of the ancient kingdom now, it is estimated that the people in the worldly city have no good impression of the royal court Xuanshi. The royal court of the Eternal Ancient Kingdom is really greedy now, and the reason why the Xuanshi army in Zhong'an Province has become like this is actually because of the influence of the Imperial Court of the Eternal Kingdom. I have to say that the exploitation of the people in the secular city by the ancient royal court is really too serious, so when Li Badao began to Zhao'an in Zhong'an Province and began to announce that the proportion of taxes levied on these people was only 10% of the original royal court, the people in these secular cities didn't even dare to believe their ears.

If Li overbearing, the intensity of their taxation is only one percent of what the royal court collected here in the past. For these people, then, this is simply equivalent to not having to pay taxes, something they have never thought of before, and even now they dare not accept if they know about it. You must know that although these people have been living in dire straits over the years. But it is also true that he is living in a very miserable state. The taxes levied by the royal court here are really too high, so high that many people can't bear it, and they can almost barely guarantee that they have something to eat.

This kind of situation is the most devastating, after all, the people in the secular city do not dare to confront the Netcom Xuanshi at all, or they do not dare to confront any Xuanshi at all, even the rebels. So before that, although they knew that the rebels had been killed here, these people did not run. It's not that the people here are bold, it's that these people already know very well where they can run even if they run, if they want to run away at this time. If you can't even run through the Yujin Pass, you will be arrested, and such a situation will inevitably occur, so the only thing you can do is to wait for the end of the war to see what the situation will be.

In fact, before this, the people in these worldly cities were really secretly praying that it was the rebels who won the final victory, because they had survived under the suppression of the royal court Xuanshi for too long, and for them, if they continued to survive under the suppression of the royal court. It seems that it will soon collapse completely, after all, the intensity of taxation is really too great, but I didn't expect it. In the end, it was indeed the rebels who won, but these rebel Xuanshi only collected 10% of the past taxes, and when they heard such news, the people in these secular cities only thought that these rebels were joking with them, and such a thing could not happen.

But the end result was like this, and even Li Badao did not start collecting it immediately after stipulating such a standard for taxation. Instead, let the people here continue to cultivate until the next year when taxes really start to be levied. It's never too late to pay your taxes. Although the news brought by Li Badao is indeed quite shocking, these people now understand it. The rebel Xuanshi really seems to be going to play so big this time. Just thinking of such a situation, the people in these earthly cities are still quite hesitant.

When Li Badao was training the Xuanshi army in the Yujin Pass, suddenly Lin Hui stepped forward and said, "Li Shuai, there are people outside the city who want to see you." ”

"See me?" Li Badao asked with some confusion: "Which outside the city, who wants to see me?"

After following Lin Hui to the city wall, Li Badao knew that it was the people in Zhong'an Province who wanted to see him, and when he saw such a situation, Li Badao even felt a little crying and laughing, what do these ordinary people have to say to themselves, although Li Badao has never had any contempt for ordinary people, but I have to admit that in his eyes, these ordinary people really don't have much value to use, of course, this does not mean that they can sacrifice at will, Li Badao understands very well that ordinary people are also very important, if there is no them, what is the point of Li Badao They have such a large territory。

"What are they here for?" Li asked in a domineering manner, and then immediately said, "Let them enter the city first." ”

When these people entered the city, the people of the Songshi Army were still really nervous, after all, there must still be some fish that slipped through the net in Zhong'an Province, and after the war, Li Badao never sent the Xuanshi army out to conquer those fish that slipped through the net, but only sent a small group of troops out to conquer, so the effect is not too obvious now, at this time, these people are still worried that there will be Wang Ting Xuanshi mixed in, and then come in to make trouble.

Li Badao could also think of these thoughts of the Songshi Army, but what else could he say now, for these royal court Xuanshi, Li Badao was a hundred people who could not look down on them, and he dared to do such a thing just because of those wastes? If those people really dared to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak attack him, Li Badao would admire them instead, and might even let them go out of the city because of this. It's just a pity that there is not a single royal court scholar mixed in this people's ranks, and it can be imagined that although those wastes want to get out of the city, they don't have the courage to try at all, as for the idea of wanting to come to revenge themselves. It is estimated that even one person has never been born. Obviously, their only chance was to escape from the mountains on all sides.

When Li Badao learned about the intention of these people, he couldn't cry or laugh again. looked at the old man standing at the front of these people, his hair was already gray, and the wrinkles on his face could not be dissolved at all. Li Badao smiled bitterly and said: "Old man, don't worry, although I, Li Badao, am not a big person, but what I say must be said and done, as long as I can keep the Yujin Pass, I will definitely not violate the rules I have set now." Taxation is what it used to be. And from the day of taxation next year, it may be higher in the future, but as long as there are not too many vicious battles to fight, the intensity of taxation will definitely only remain at this level, do you think I can give you this guarantee?"

The white-haired old man looked at Li Badao with some uncertainty. After being silent for a long time, he asked directly: "My lord, although Lao Er is not a big person, but he can barely represent the thoughts of these people in Zhong'an Province, I just want to meet the commander of our Xuanshi army this time, and then get a definite statement from him, after it is determined, we will leave, and even we are willing to raise the standard of taxation by one percent, and even today we can go back to prepare." I just hope that the Commander-in-Chief can do what he says. ”

Hearing this old man's words, Lin Hui couldn't help but say on the side: "Old man, this is the commander of our demon hunting army. Li overbearing Lord Li, didn't he already promise you just now, what Li Shuai said will definitely come true. ”

As soon as Lin Hui finished speaking, the old man's eyes suddenly straightened, and then he looked at Lin Hui in disbelief and said, "This is your commander, why does it look like he is not even twenty years old?"

"Haha, our Li Shuai is so young. Heroes are teenagers. Lin Hui snorted and said, and at this time, many of the Demon Hunter Warriors around him also laughed. However, they were not laughing at this old man, but this old man's words also made them suddenly think of a lot of emotional things.

Oh, yes. Think about it carefully, Li Shuai is not even twenty years old, but this young man who is not even twenty years old has led these people to fight so many battles in the south and the north, and even in the hands of this young man, the strength of the demon hunting army continues to grow, and the territory in their hands is also increasing, and now they are even simply occupying a territory that can be completely isolated from the world in a completely unfamiliar metaverse, and it is very simple to establish a country within a country, such a feat is such a feat, but it is all from the hands of Li Badao alone, this situation is really amazing。

After Li Badao heard the old man's words, he also understood why he didn't want to believe it just now, after all, he was really too young, if Shen Ju was here to say these words to this old man this time, it is estimated that this problem would not have arisen. But the episode is just a small episode after all, in the end, even if the old man came over and took the initiative to raise the price, Li Badao did not make a decision to raise the tax standard, or that sentence, what is the standard set before, and then it will always be implemented according to this standard. And Li Badao didn't lie, now this is just the most ordinary standard, if there needs to be a big war in the future, then it will naturally raise the standard of taxation.

However, for such a situation, these people in the city really couldn't understand it, after all, they were like this in the past, if there was a big war, the standard of taxation naturally needed to be raised, otherwise how could there be no resources to fight. And seeing that Li overbearing them did this, the people in Zhong'an Province actually became at ease. In fact, they came over this time to take the risk to talk to Li Badao about these things, and even took the initiative to send Xuanjing over directly, just because they didn't want to die. I have to say that Li Badao and they are rebels after all, and in the eyes of these people, although the rebels are against Wang Tingxuanshi, it seems that they started to resist because they couldn't survive.

But another characteristic of the rebels is that they are particularly brutal and undisciplined, they conquered Zhong'an Province, and even occupied Yujin Pass, and also defeated the Wang Tingxuan who used to guard here in the Yujin Pass, it can be said that the entire Zhong'an Province is now in the hands of these rebels, if they don't plan to collect taxes here at all, they are ready to use an excuse to stabilize the people here, and then simply rob it directly, and then flee, if such a situation occurs, they have no way. The gap between ordinary people and Xuanshi is really too big, and this is not something that can be done simply by gathering more people, so at this time, if you really want to confront Li Badao and them, it is a daydream, and the only way to do it is to take the initiative to come over and beg for mercy.

It's okay to give a little more, as long as your life is still there. However, the final result was unexpected by these people, but they still can't believe it. It's just that when these people returned to the city, they waited anxiously, and they didn't wait for Li Badao to send people to rob them of their resources, it was precisely because of this situation that these ordinary people finally completely put their minds at ease, and they knew that they had ushered in a real monarch.

There is one thing that even Li Badao himself doesn't know, just after he implemented the "benevolent government" in Zhong'an Province, although he was constantly training the Xuanshi of the Songshi Army, the people in the secular city had secretly given Li Badao a title - Holy Monarch. Although the name is cheesy, this is the truest idea of these people now. In fact, the people have always wanted very little, they don't even need the Xuanshi to protect more comprehensively, if the Xuanshi attack, in fact, they will not kill them, just the resistance to those demon beasts and beasts, even if they can do it with their own strength, all they want is to live, if they can, it is best to live well.

When Wang Tingxuanshi was guarding here before, although they could survive, they were already about to collapse. But now that Li Badao has come suddenly, as long as these people think that when the day of taxation comes next year, they only need to take out the past 10% of the level, and these people feel as if there is no pressure at all, but it is precisely because of this that they still feel uneasy until now.

However, the title of the Holy Monarch, after all, is still a sincere respect for Li Badao, obviously, these people now hope that Li Badao and they will always be in Zhong'an Province, guarding the Yujin Pass, as long as the Holy Monarch is there, they can live in peace.

This is what they think, but Li Badao doesn't know that Li Badao's real headache now is still those Wang Ting Xuanshi who may attack at any time. (To be continued)
