The second person who traveled through time and space and became a pig

"Mr. Deputy Commander, you are confused. If they want to annihilate us, why bother? Do you think our 3000-plus soldiers can defeat their -plus orc troops? Even with the advantage of the city walls, how long can we hold out?"

Kari said this from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, yes, we are helpless now. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Notify everyone to lay down their weapons and surrender," the deputy commander finally gave the order after hearing what Kary said.

Later, the deputy leader felt extremely proud of his wise decision.

The Iron Hammer of the East City Gate was easily captured without any effort, following the surrender of the human deputy commander.

At this point, the four city gate fortresses of Longwei City were all controlled by Tian Ye.

The next morning, the exhausted Tian Ye slowly woke up in the bathtub while hugging the Ninth Elder.

The water in the bathroom was still hot.

The Ninth Elder curled up in Tianye's arms like a docile kitten, which formed a sharp contrast with his fiery personality outside. Perhaps he was conquered.

"You're awake!" Tian Ye asked softly.

"Yeah," the Ninth Elder agreed, his voice sounding a little weak. Last night was so crazy that it consumed a lot of energy for the Ninth Elder, comparable to a fierce battle.

"We've been here all night, it's time for us to get out."

It's already bright outside. We can't just sit here in the fields and talk quietly.

""Um""

An elder responded softly again, and the well-behaved appearance made Tian Ye unbelievable? After the ninth elder agreed, his body moved slightly, and his smooth skin touched Tian Ye again, and Tian Ye immediately responded.

Feeling the changes in the field, the Ninth Elder's face flushed.

The pig-headed man also started to become dishonest, and soon the two of them had another big fight.

At noon, Tian Ye finally climbed out of the big pool, and then dragged the Ninth Elder out of the bathing pool. Now the Ninth Elder didn't want to move at all, and his whole body was almost limp, as if he was seriously ill. However, Tian Ye knew that he was fine, just too tired.

Holding the Ninth Elder's delicate body, he looked around and found that there was a room covered with a bead curtain directly opposite the bathroom. It seemed to be Kaidewei's resting place.

Tian Ye strode over, lifted the beaded curtain and entered the house. All the furnishings and bedding in the house were brand new. Tian Ye directly placed the nine old men on the big velvet bed.

The Ninth Elder turned over on the big bed and continued to sleep while Tian Ye put on a new set of clothes that were placed beside him.

After walking out of the bathroom door, Tiedan and Jinai were standing at the bathroom door.

When Jinai saw Tianye, her face turned slightly red. Yesterday, although Jinai did not see what Tianye and the Ninth Elder were doing, the occasional sounds made her know what happened in the house?

"Tiedan, what's going on? Is Tiechui back?"

Although it didn't matter much to whether the Hammers could recapture the four city gates, Tian Ye still asked the question.

"Reporting to the Lord, this morning, Brother Tiechui has sent back news that the four gates of Longwei City are all under our control.

Another piece of news is that the newly recovered slave commanders yesterday have integrated all of Kaidehong's troops. However, the ranks of these commanders are not much different, so you still need to deal with the issue of official rank division."

Tiechui told the most important news in the city from last night to this morning.

"This matter is really troublesome. It seems that this emperor is not suitable for everyone. Let's go and call all the relevant personnel to the hall. We have to hold a meeting today."

Tian Ye walked towards the main hall.

Tiedan waved to the human servants beside him. With so many people around, he couldn't let him notify them himself. He would still ask the human servants to do some small things.

On the streets of Longwei City, teams of orc soldiers kept shuttling through the streets and alleys of Longwei City. Although there were only five orcs in a team of soldiers, no one dared to provoke them. At this time, the real owner of Longwei City had become this group of orcs, and no longer the Cade family.

"Hey, brother, have you heard? Both the Emperor Kaidwei and his brother Kaidhong died at the hands of that pig-headed man. Is this pig-headed man really that powerful?" One of the two men sitting at a table suddenly spoke.

"Hey, is this pig-headed man strong? Just look at what's happening on the street now. No one knows his true strength, but it's clear that Kaidwei is no match for him. Otherwise, how could these orcs appear in this imperial city?"

Another older man said.

"That's true, but these orcs are not as scary as we heard before. They entered the city last night, but I haven't heard that they broke into people's homes to rob property and jobs. Instead, they have been patrolling and on duty. If they encounter thieves and robbers or lawbreakers, they will arrest them. How come these orcs are different from what we heard before?" the man asked again.

Just then the waiter brought two side dishes, a plate of peanuts, and a pot of wine. The man who had just spoken picked up the pot and filled a glass for the brother opposite him, then looked at the brother as if waiting for his answer.

"Haha, it's hard to say for sure right now, but it won't be long before the truth becomes clear. Let's wait and see."

The brother took a sip of wine, but did not give an answer. Instead, he smiled mysteriously and said something ambiguous.

"Listen, people of Longwei City. From now on, the emperor of Longwei Empire will be the pig-headed man Zhu Laoba. From now on, Zhu Laoba will be the master of this Longwei Empire."

After a few gongs were struck, several humans shouted at the top of their lungs. The voices came from far away and were different. It seemed that it was not just one person shouting, but several people shouting at the same time.

"Wow, this is really strange. I haven't heard about the coronation ceremony. How could this dragon and this pig-headed man become our emperor?" The man asked again after hearing this?

"Need I say more? He is strong, you can't beat him. If he wants to be the emperor, then he will be the emperor. As for the coronation ceremony, haha, it is just a formality. If the emperor doesn't care, then who will care?

Do we care? Is it useful? Who of them becomes the emperor has little to do with us. We just need to have enough food and clothes to eat and wear."

It’s no wonder that the young man asks the older man everything. The older man has unique perspectives on speaking and looking at things, and he sees things more clearly than most people.

Such scenes are constantly being discussed in every street corner, pub, teahouse, and even auction house or place where people gather.

There are all kinds of versions and opinions. However, everyone praised the performance of the Pig-Headed Man and his team after entering the city, because they did not interfere with the lives of normal people.

This was the first day that Tian Ye became emperor. There were not too many people on the streets of Longwei City. Only the patrolling orcs were constantly walking.

In the main hall of the Longwei City Palace, Tian Ye sat high on the dragon throne. He was still wearing ordinary clothes and had not put on the dragon robe. Tian Ye certainly did not like Kaidewei's original clothes. Whether he would wear the dragon robe or not, they would talk about it later.

All of Tian Ye's men were standing below the hall: Lester, Limete, Gray, the minotaur Niu Da, the pig-headed man Tiedan, the pig-headed man Tiechui, the pig-headed man Tiejian, the bear-headed man Longka, the human Levin, the dog-headed man Leige, Ginayi, the tiger king, the second tiger prince, the sheep-headed man Sam, the lizardman Harun, the eagle man Yingyi, the wolf-headed man Walter, the wolf-headed man Wall, and the rest of the leaders, big and small, were still in the Holy Light City and the territories seized by Tian Ye, maintaining order in various places and could not all arrive.

On the other side stood the officials from the capital city of Kaidewei.

"I never expected to have the honor of ascending to the position of ruler of this country, but I know some of you are dissatisfied.

Normally, orcs will burn, kill, and loot after they capture a city. But what I want to say is that we captured Longwei City not to rob other people's property, but to control it for a long time and make it the territory of my orcs. But I don't want to disrupt the normal life of humans. Humans and orcs will live freely and equally in my territory and under my rule, under the supervision of one law.

Living in this rich land, I don’t want my men, especially those of you who followed me earlier, to develop this mentality. From now on, whether they are humans or orcs, you are all my people.

This is the first order I issued after becoming emperor. From now on, the city entry tax will be exempted. The population tax will be exempted."

The city entry tax is a tax that every merchant and caravan must pay before entering the city, which is also an important source of income for the capital. The population tax is a tax that every household pays per person, which is also a kind of miscellaneous tax.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not possible! Taxes are related to the sustainability of finances. If all these taxes are cancelled, the country's finances will definitely fall into deficit."

The speaker was Defense Minister Marile.

When Marile spoke, he was not trying to make Tian Ye listen to his advice, but just wanted to make his presence felt. As a defense minister, he didn't know much about taxation?

"Who are you? Tell me your name." Looking at the person who was speaking, Tian Ye asked directly without any expression.

"Your Majesty, I am the Minister of Defense Marile."

"How come you, the Minister of Defense, know so much about taxation? Where is the Minister of Taxation? Let him speak out."

"Your Majesty, the Minister of Taxation was executed by you that day."

Marile was thoughtful in what he said, and he didn't say that he was killed directly by the pig-headed man.

"So I have to appoint a new Minister of Revenue. Otherwise, I really don't know what the current financial situation is."

Tian Ye didn't know what the financial situation of the Longwei Empire was like. He just wanted to deal with these things and then go to practice.

"I appoint Jinai as the new Minister of Finance to take charge of all financial affairs of the Longwei Empire. Tiechui as the Minister of War to take charge of all matters related to the training and recruitment of soldiers. I appoint Tiedaner as the Chief of Imperial Palace Attendants to take charge of all attendants, maids, and purchases needed by the palace."

There is no doubt that these three important positions must be in the hands of Tian Ye's confidants.

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

"Thank you, Master"

"Thank you, Master"

Three people came forward and bowed to thank Tian Ye.

"The 20 troops outside the city will be renamed the Longwei Army from today on, and Tiechui will serve as the first commander-in-chief of the Longwei Army." Tian Ye only gave a general direction, and the rest of the matters had to be handled by Tiechui himself. Integrating the army is not a matter of overnight, but Tian Ye is confident, because at this time the leaders of the army are under Tian Ye's control, and they can't make any big waves.

"Ginayi, tell me, what I just said about reducing the city entry tax and population tax, is there anything wrong with that?"

Tian Ye, the army outside the city, did not want to interfere too much.

However, Tian Ye must put the issue of tax reduction on the agenda. Only by stabilizing the hearts of the people in Longwei City can he truly gain a foothold in Longwei City.

“Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with this. Population tax and city entry tax are only a small part of the tax revenue. The main forms of tax revenue for the country are agricultural tax and commercial tax.

However, in my opinion, agricultural taxes can only guarantee the normal operation of the country, and only commercial taxes are important taxes to truly enrich the country.

Tian Ye never expected that his newly appointed Finance Minister Ginai would say such words. His words are similar to the policies implemented by many countries in later generations.

Agricultural countries usually focus on agriculture and neglect commerce. However, if commerce is developed, it will be a huge source of income and can completely crush agriculture. However, agriculture is the foundation of a country. Only when a good agricultural system is formed can the sustainable development of commerce be supported.

"Hahaha, it seems I didn't choose the wrong person! Gina didn't expect you to have such talent."

Of course, Tian Ye praised Jinai generously, and her little face immediately turned red.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there has never been a precedent of a woman serving as Minister of Finance in the Dragon and Tiger Empire. Isn't this inappropriate?" A minister stood up.

"Who are you? Tell me your name. I hope all officials of the Longwei Empire will tell me their names before speaking, otherwise I won't know you."

Tian Ye frowned. Of course he didn't know this man, so he had to give the order.

"Your Majesty, I am the Minister of Ceremonies, Hoss, here to see you."

"Oh, so you just said that no woman has ever served as Minister of Finance, but did you say that an orc has ever served as Emperor of the Longwei Empire?" As soon as Tian Ye said this, the Minister of Etiquette was shocked all over and fell to his knees, shaking with fear.

"Minister? Minister?" The Minister of Ceremonies, Huo Si, didn't know what to say at this time. He said "minister" twice and didn't say anything else.

"Stand up. I don't mean to punish you, but the position of a wise minister should be held by the capable. Only after you have done something will you know whether you are good or not. Under my dynasty, if you have done a good job, you can continue to serve, and I will not be stingy with rewards. If you have not done a good job, then let others do it. What do you think?"

"The minister obeys the order"

The former ministers of the Longwei Empire knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.
