Jiang Chen and Di Xiaoxu chatted for more than an hour.
He wouldn't have known if he hadn't chatted. After chatting, he realized that the problem was far more serious than he had imagined.
The State of Qin had a population of almost one million, but two-thirds of them were slaves of the nobles.
The reason why they set up such high taxes was to force the people to sell their cattle, land, and ancestral land when they could not survive. In the end, they would sell themselves as slaves when they had nothing else to sell.
First, he used all kinds of methods to plunder the land of the people, then bought them at an extremely low price to help him cultivate the land.
Fifty percent was too little for them. They wanted everything.
As for the lives of the commoners, they did not care at all.
No wonder Zhao Ping was so arrogant before. Although he was the monarch, the actual population under his rule was probably not as many as the serfs in other people's families.
……
The State of Qin was very small, but because it was small, it was very convenient to issue orders.
Di Xiaoxu moved very quickly.
In just half an hour, the three Monarch Tokens had already been pasted all over the streets and alleys of the capital of the State of Qin.
As for the other places, they also sent people to deliver the message.
Recruit the wise and accept the wise.
The order to recruit soldiers was given and the method of training was rewarded.
A tax reduction order, lowering taxes.
The moment the three Monarch Tokens appeared, it immediately caused a commotion.
The people of the State of Qin were suffering too much. The appearance of any one of these three Monarch Orders was enough to rouse people's spirits.
Because it meant that the newly ascended monarch had to take action to rectify the tyranny of the aristocratic families.
The three orders appeared at the same time, and countless citizens immediately boiled over.
The capital city of Qin State was called the City of Brisk, but it was actually not much bigger than a county city.
At this moment, at the city gate of the City of Brisk, an official in a black robe stood in front of the notice board to help the people explain the contents of the notice.
This country was too poor. Other than the families of the aristocratic families and officials, it was difficult for ordinary people to hire teachers.
Most of the people were illiterate. They couldn't even write their names, let alone read the notices.
Therefore, every time an important decree was issued, there would be someone responsible for explaining it to the people on the first day.
As for the rest, the commoners who had heard the explanation passed it on to the other commoners.
The people who lived in poverty and did not have much entertainment on weekdays were very happy to brag about it after dinner. The speed of the spread was not slow.
At the city gate, the official responsible for explaining the emperor's order finished reading the contents of the notice.
In the crowd, there was a young man wearing a Confucian robe. He looked like a scholar, but his hair was unkempt and his face was dirty. Even his Confucian robe was in a mess.
Her eyes were filled with tears as she asked excitedly,
"Sir, is what is written here true? Aren't officials only for nobles?”
……
It was not just the city gate. The same scene was playing out at every place where notices were posted.
Countless people were shocked, doubtful, and then excited.
Commoners could serve as officials, and slaves could be recruited to become soldiers, greatly reducing taxes.
In this closed country, these ordinary reform measures were nothing short of earth-shattering.
This was because he had broken the restrictions of social class and the monopoly of the aristocratic families.
Such an unprecedented method, even if there was only a bit of news, instantly set off a monstrous wave.
Di Xiaoxu was busy publicizing the three Monarch Orders outside.
In the palace, Jiang Chen was not idle either.
As a veteran player, he naturally understood that every Overlord class player's overall strength was about the same in the country that they first arrived in.
However, the details might be different.
For example, some players were in countries with developed businesses, some had strong armies, and some had fertile land.
As for the Qin country that he was in, as far as the eye could see, it was actually filled with devastation everywhere.
The people were poor, the government was corrupt, the military was lax, and there were many bandits. There were even enemies eyeing them.
Political, economic, military, diplomatic, and cultural attributes. Four of them were extremely attractive, and the fifth had zero cultural attributes.
Since all these aspects could be said to be a hell of a start.
Then there must be another aspect, which was that he surpassed all the players.
Otherwise, it would destroy the balance of the game.
No matter how things developed, at least in the beginning, the overall strength of each player was about the same.
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and finally focused on the word talent.
Although it was hard for him to imagine what kind of talents could be born in such a poor, broken, small, and chaotic Qin country, and what kind of talents could be attracted.
However, this was probably the only explanation for why he had such a hellish difficulty in the beginning.
Jiang Chen took a deep breath and shouted in his heart,"
"Heavenly Son Gazing at Qi."
In the next moment, that magical vision appeared before his eyes again.
Almost every item in sight was surrounded by a layer of light.
Above everyone's head, light pillars of providence of different colors and density floated.
