Chapter 888

Plaza in maniyah, the announcement area.

Usually, in front of the cold bulletin board, it is crowded with people at this moment.

However, their expressions are either helpless, dissatisfied or angry.

"What? Tax again? Isn't it time to collect taxes this year? When is it going to be advanced? "

Looking at the parchment just pasted on the bulletin board, a seemingly hunchbacked citizen couldn't help asking.

He looked discontented.

"Look, man, this is Jihad tax and capitation tax. Everyone has to pay it."

Someone reminds a way in the side, a face is complicated.

"Jihad tax? But didn't you hand it in before? Why do you charge it now? "

People who ask questions have doubts.

"Hey, that was before. After so many defeats in Jihad, all of them were defeated by the nobles. Of course, they have to pay for it again..."

Someone shook his head, a look of sarcasm.

"Crazy?! Fifty silver and fifty pounds per person? Our family's income is only five pounds a year! I have three children and a sick mother. Isn't that going to cost our family three pounds?! There are only two pounds left. How can we live in a year? "

It seems that the first imperial edict issued after the coronation of the new queen is such an order.

"Not only... If there are men of the right age in the family, they must also be called up to join the jihadi coalition, otherwise... They will have to pay another 3 pounds as a duty-free recruitment..."

Someone shook his head and sighed.

"Three pounds? Why not grab it? "

"Crazy! Crazy! The noble is crazy! Your majesty is crazy, too! My brother has been killed in the south, and now we have to force our family to join the conscription?! I'm the only one left in my family! "

Some people can't believe it.

"It's said that it's a decree approved by your majesty. If you refuse to join the conscription and do not pay tax exemption, you will be forced to pay a huge fine..."

"Isn't it true that her majesty Teresa is a kind and beautiful one? How could... How could it be so tyrannical? "

"Hey, do you really believe in the propaganda of the church and the nobility? Nobility and royalty, there is no good thing

"Ridiculous! This is ridiculous! Your majesty has just been crowned so tyrannical. How can we live in the future?! The aristocracy is corrupt and the church is incompetent. Can people live in this world? "

"Shh... Keep your voice down... Now the whole city is chasing down the life believers. Complain again. Be careful that the city guard will treat you as a stranger

Arrest the believers

"Can't you even complain? Is this to force people to die? The nobles have so much money and raise so many private soldiers. Why don't they contribute? "

"They are noble lords. Besides their lords, who dares to collect taxes from them... Besides, every time the taxes are collected from them, they will fall on us in the end..."

"Yes... In name, everyone collected it together. In the end, all the taxes of the nobles were returned, but all our taxes went into their pocket and the Lord's pocket."

"Well, and the royal family! Royal pocket! It's said that a dinner for the emperor alone costs hundreds of pounds! "

"Bah! dog shit! The tress family is shit! Nobility is shit! Eternal church is shit! I think the Church of life is right. These bastards should be swept into the garbage heap of history and overthrown by others! "

"Are you crazy?! How dare you say that? This kind of crazy words, but will be captured by the city guard into the duoluoliya Castle prison! You can't think of a place like that if you go in! In the end, they either died of illness or were burned to death! "

"How about that? Anyway, it's all death. It's better to die in a grand way! "

The crowd of onlookers was excited.

If it wasn't for the magic barrier on the bulletin board, which ordinary people couldn't destroy, and the soldiers were staring at it from a distance, I'm afraid it would have cost eight yuan by this time.

With the word of mouth of the announcement, more and more people know about it, and more and more people are dissatisfied with it.

Not only the city of maniyah, but with the new announcement spread throughout the Empire, the imperial people everywhere fell into a strong dissatisfaction.

In some cities with great influence of the Church of life, there have even been incidents of angry people attacking aristocratic and city Lord's houses and smashing them to vent their anger

"Mob! These abominable mobs! What time is it? It's still rioting! Your majesty, we must give these mobs the most severe suppression, otherwise, we can only make more speculators ready to move! Especially the pagans of the Church of life, who are the best at stupid civilians! "

In the aristocratic Council, looking at the riot reported by the local government, one of the ministers of the Regency cabinet, who has not left since returning to the imperial capital, said Prince Clarence angrily.

Around him, other nobles denounced him and expressed their support.

"Well, it's only 50 silver coins for one person. Even the poorest afternoon tea is enough. These Dalits just don't want to pay!"

"Have the strength to attack the noble residence, but not willing to accept the call, or too lazy and lazy!"

"After all, they are ordinary people who have no extraordinary education. They don't know that they can have such a safe and stable life today. We are all working behind our backs to support the prosperity of the human world!"

"Your majesty! Must be punished! Those arrested rioters must be severely punished! "

"And the people in maniyah who vent their discontent everywhere! They are also potential threats. We must arrest them, too! "

The nobles were full of indignation.

Theresa, who is already the queen, is wearing a crown, holding a scepter, and sitting rigidly on the throne. She seems to be at a loss.

"Your majesty! Please make a decision as soon as possible! The pressure of war is increasing. We must raise enough funds and troops as soon as possible to counterattack! Otherwise, the infidels may invade the rest of our empire! "

The representative of the elector family of Valencia came forward and said solemnly.

"Your majesty! Please issue a decree to severely punish these riot participants! "

Other nobles echoed.

Yelled by hundreds of nobles, Teresa II clenched her fist and her fingertips turned white.

She looked dazed and nervous, and pressed her lips tightly. She could not help asking:

"Ladies and gentlemen, is this really good for us to win the war?"

"Of course! Although it will be very cruel, but this is really the fastest way to gather strength! Your majesty, jihadi is a life and death battle. In order to survive, we must be the winner! And the winner will naturally get everything, and what he has paid will be regained in the spoils! "

Said the representative of the Valencia family with passion.

Theresa II still hesitated.

She took a timid look at the excited nobles and asked with some trepidation:

"So... What can civilians get from war?"

The nobles were stunned.

"Peace, peace and tranquility..."

An old voice answered the Queen's question.

It's the Duke of Columbus.

He said solemnly with a smile

"Your Majesty, if we win the war, we will naturally have peace, and the civilians will no longer have to take part in the conscription, and they can go home with the spoils of the war and live happily..."

Theresa II was silent.

After thinking about it, she could not help but turn her head and look at the three church electors who had not spoken on the other side, especially Archbishop winster, the first Regent minister

"Monseigneur, what do you think?"

With this remark, the eyes of all the nobles were fixed on the bishop of winster.

That look, have sneer, have proud, have disdain, also have warning.

Bishop winster shook his head slightly in his heart as he felt the various sights.

He took a deep breath and sighed

"Your Majesty, this war... The Empire has no way to stop."

"So..."

Theresa nodded her head.

After pondering for a moment, she sat up straight and said to the nobles:

"In that case, let's follow what you said! I hope this war will end soon and everyone will live a happy life! "

"By your will, the sun of the Empire, your Majesty the great queen!"

The nobles saluted happily.

At the end of the meeting, after the nobles left, Theresa II was relieved.

Her back, has been a layer of intense sweat soaked.

She could not wait to take off the heavy crown from her head. Then she seemed to think of something. She hesitated for a moment and put it on again. Then she turned around and looked at the only remaining regent, bishop winster

"Monseigneur, when do you say the war will end?"

Bishop winster was slightly stunned.

He dropped his eyelids and said with a smile:

"Yes, your majesty, sooner or later the war will end."

Theresa II doesn't seem to be satisfied with this slightly tricky answer.

She wrinkled her pretty eyebrows, but soon she was no longer entangled. Instead, she stroked the scepter in her hand and murmured:

"I will try my best... I will try my best to be a queen who makes her people happy..."

"I will work hard and study hard!"

She said firmly in her voice.

Listening to the young queen's words, bishop winster's eyes were a little complicated.

He slightly lowered his head and covered the trace of guilt in the depth of his eyes.

……

meanwhile.

The West leads the East, in a solemn noble castle.

Demacia sat on the throne of the city master, while playing with the exquisite booty just captured, while sliding looking at all kinds of mainland intelligence in the game system.

That's what players from all over the mainland summed up. Since the war, all service players have been doing it spontaneously, many of which are provided by Amway chamber of Commerce.

It is precisely because of this that, although he has been attacking cities and fighting guerrillas in the western region for some time, demacia knows a lot about the mainland.

"Tut... The queen of the Holy maniyah empire is dead. The new emperor is a little girl under 15 years old. Just after he took office, he issued a series of tax and recruitment laws. The civilians of the Empire are really miserable."

Not far away, several other players of the heart of nature also looked at the "news" of SEGS mainland and shook their heads slightly.

Demacia made a slight movement.

He put away the gorgeous noble ornaments in his hand, pondered for a moment, and stood up from his seat.

"Molly, where are you? Come here and help me lead the regiment

He sent a message in the friends bar.

After a while, the female warrior player with gorgeous armor pushed open the gate of the castle.

She frowned slightly, wondering:

"Dema, you don't have it? Going offline? "

"No

Demacia shook her head.

As he packed his equipment, he said:

"I'm going to maniyah. Something's up."

"Maniyah? Now? What are you doing there now? "

Under the moon, jasmine's brow was locked, and she was puzzled.

Demacia smiles

"To fulfill a friend's wish, to fulfill a promise of mine."

At the end of the speech, he walked out of the castle.

Outside the castle, he whistled.

After a while, a bipedal Dragon flew to him.

Without hesitation, demacia turned over and set foot on the dragon's back. The two legged flying dragon flapped its wings and flew to the East

……

Not many players noticed demacia's departure.

After demacia left the west, Theresa II's will also spread to all parts of the Empire.

With the new will issued from the holy palace of maniyah, the aristocrats of the Empire rightfully suppressed and pursued the rioters.

For a moment, the people who were angry and rebellious because of the new tax laws and conscription laws were easily suppressed.

No way, ordinary and unorganized people have limited power after all.

In the face of the aristocrats with extraordinary power, they are as weak as a child.

Even if these nobles were also greatly damaged because of Jihad, the aftereffect was still there.

However, in the process of carrying out the crackdown, not many nobles noticed that the guards sent by their families did not seem to have the passion for the crackdown as usual.

The guards are human, too.

And many professionals who become guards are just civilians.

In the face of such harsh laws, even the guards who worked for the nobles did not support it as they seemed.

However, this calm did not last long.

With the formal implementation of the law and the increasing frequency of hunting down rioters and rebels, the public's dissatisfaction has become more and more intense

A very delicate and gunpowder atmosphere began to spread in maniyah, in the cities of the Empire.

At the same time, in the underground of the imperial cities, where the nobles and priests could not see, the preaching of the Church of life began to develop at a more rapid speed.

This naturally aroused the aristocracy and the church stronger pressure, but the stronger pressure brought stronger resistance.

And this kind of resistance will, after all, with the passage of time, with the suppression of aristocracy and church again and again, reached the critical point of outbreak
