Father, I am back to fight!

Chapter 536

The people were talking about it, and everyone was looking forward with expectant eyes, waiting to get the silver.

However, after waiting in line for a long time, they found that the line showed no signs of moving!

In a teahouse, dozens of officials gathered together, each with a smug smile on their face, saying, "Hey, hey! We've made a fortune this time!"

"Two taels of silver per person, that's over 200,000 taels. Our ancient Fisherman Country doesn't even collect that much in taxes in a year. The king is usually very stingy, but this time it finally falls into our hands!"

"We've taken the silver, but what about those people outside? They're all waiting!"

"Hmph! Just let them wait until nightfall, then give them a penny each and send them off. You bunch of lowlifes, do you really think my money is so easy to earn?"

"That's right, they're all untouchables! We're already doing them the greatest favor by not collecting taxes from them, and yet they actually want to take money from us. They're all despicable! They all deserve to die!"

The officials said one after another.

Each of them received several thousand taels of silver, which was almost their lifetime salary!

The people outside queued until late at night, but in the end they only received a penny!

"Beasts! These beasts! Your Majesty wanted to give us two taels of silver, but they only gave us one penny!"

"Damn it! These bastard officials, I wish I could skin them alive and tear their tendons out. What can one penny do for me? I can earn more than ten pennies a day fishing!"

"We must go to the palace to file a complaint. I believe His Majesty will make a decision for us once he hears about it!"

The people shouted.

The Sixth Prince stood on the attic and saw the people shouting below. His expression became extremely gloomy. "So that's what it is! Qin Yu had predicted that the officials of the Fisherman's Ancient Country would embezzle money!"

"However, this matter has become such a big deal. Once the Fisher King learns of it, he will definitely severely punish those officials. Speaking for the people will actually win more people's support!"

"Your Highness is too narrow-minded! Whether the Fisherman King stands up for the people or not, or whether those officials embezzle the money, it won't change the outcome!"

"Because the Fisherman's Country is very poor, two hundred thousand taels of silver is enough to empty the Fisherman's Country's coffers. However, the soldiers in the army need to eat, and the officials need salaries!"

"Without the silver, he will have to collect it from the people again, and then he will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people!"

"So, even if Qin Yu loses this vote, the people know that Daliang wants them to be its citizens. If the officials of the Fisherman Ancient Country oppress them, they will definitely miss Qin Yu!"

"Qin Yu only needs to work secretly to make the people spontaneously overthrow the Fisherman's Ancient Kingdom and turn to the embrace of Daliang!"

Yin Jiaolong said in a deep voice.

"Hiss! This brat Qin Yu is truly ruthless! Once the people spontaneously overthrow the royal family, all he'll get is a clean ancient fishing kingdom!"

After hearing this, the Sixth Prince couldn't help but gasp.

In order to obtain the salted fish of the Fisherman's Ancient Country, he had thought about attacking the Fisherman's Ancient Country, but considering the complex power of the aristocratic families, he did not do so in the end.

But Qin Yu came up with this idea as soon as he arrived in the southern border. It was really amazing!

"Sixth Prince, what are your thoughts now?"

Yin Jiaolong said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Yin, could it be that I can also gain some benefits from this?"

The Sixth Prince asked in a deep voice.

"Of course! Once Qin Yu obtains the Fisherman's Kingdom, he will definitely incorporate it into the southern territory. However, Qin Yu does not have enough troops. Your Highness can send troops to defend the Fisherman's Kingdom for Qin Yu!"

Yin Jiaolong said in a deep voice.
