The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

In mid-March, the grass grows and warblers fly.

A notice of tax increase was posted on the bulletin board in the county town, and this year's tax will be increased by 10% on the original basis.

For a time, people were full of voices and complaints.

In the past, the tax was increased a little bit every three years, but this time it is too high. After paying the tax, I don’t know if there will be any surplus food in the family.

However, this does not have much impact on businessmen. Those who should make money continue to make money, and the ones who suffer are always the ordinary people at the bottom.

Yun Zhi, who saw this notice, looked towards the capital with an unfathomable expression.

Within three years, the world will be in chaos.

Doesn’t this announcement simply hasten destruction?

Before, it was like boiling a frog in warm water. The people may become numb step by step until one day they reach their limit.

Now this stimulation has turned the stagnant water into living water.

Moreover, the fact that this decree can be implemented shows that there are no officials in the court who serve the people anymore.

Even if there were, they would be ordinary ministers who were unable to turn the tide.

The building is about to collapse, and one tree cannot support it. The Tianqi Kingdom is about to end, and the world is about to be in chaos.

After lunch, Yun Zhi stopped her father who was about to go out to do something busy.

"father."

Yun Youde stopped and looked at her, "What's wrong, Meimei?"

"From today on, do not spend any extra money. Use it all to buy salt and grain, the more the better."

Father Yun walked up to Yun Zhi and looked at her in confusion, "What we already have at home is enough, why buy so much?"

Lin Huixin and Yun Jingxian, who had not left yet, also looked at her.

"Dad, do you believe me?"

Hearing this, Yun Youde's heart skipped a beat for some reason, and he said without thinking, "Of course I believe Meimei. Dad will have someone buy it right away."

"Also, keep more of the weapons Dad forged and sell less every day."

Father Yun nodded, "Yeah, okay."

After Yun Youde left, Lin Huixin and Yun Jingxian surrounded him.

Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter and asked with a worried look on her face, "Did something happen to Meimei?

"Yes, sister, why did you buy so much food?" Yun Jingxian also echoed.

Before things happened, Yun Zhi didn't want to tell the truth. After telling it, she was afraid that she would be worried for the rest of her life.

"I just think that taxes have increased again this year, and I'm afraid prices will continue to rise every year. I'd rather buy more now so I can sell any leftovers later."

"As for those weapons, stock up more and don't sell so many. The daily quantity is limited. Scarcity makes things more valuable. In fact, business will be much better."

Lin thought about it and it made sense. She looked at her with those gentle eyes and said, "Our Meimei is really smart."

After Lin left, Yun Jingxian followed Yun Zhi and said, "Sister, let me go with you to learn from Mr. Zhou today."

Yun Zhi glanced at him and nodded.

The world is about to fall into chaos, so we really need to learn more martial arts so that we can survive in the future troubled times.

"Brother, you can practice archery. I think you are suitable for it."

Yun Jingxian agreed without asking any questions, "Okay, I'll go get one from Daddy when the time comes."

Yun Zhi discovered that Yun Jingxian was very good at shooting. If he practiced well, he might become a great archer in the future.

When Yun Jingxian was young, Yun Zhi discovered that children at that time were very active. Whenever Yun Zhi went into the mountains, she would always bring a slingshot with her and she would always bring back a few small animals.

He is very strong and has good accuracy, so he can hit the target most of the time.

It would be nice if we could make use of this strength.

After finishing today's martial arts practice with Zhou Yifeng, Yun Jingxian left home and prepared to go to the store to get a bow and arrow to start practicing.

After he left, they were the only two people in the yard.

In a blink of an eye, Zhou Yifeng has been here for almost three years, and his debt is almost paid off.

I just don't know whether he will stay or go.

After spending some time together, Yun Zhi got some information out of him.

Knowing that he was an orphan, he was the only one who survived the famine. Later, he wandered around and became a ranger.

If you encounter someone bullying the weak, draw your sword and help.

Of course, Yun Zhi also knew that these words were half true and half false.

But it is undeniable that he is a capable man with principles and strong martial arts skills.

Thinking about what will happen next, it would be a great help if he could stay.

After watching Yun Jingxian leave, Yun Zhi turned his gaze to Zhou Yifeng who was sitting there polishing his sword.

"Mr. Zhou's debt is almost paid off. What are your plans?"

In order to pay back the sword, he stayed here for nearly three years.

He stopped polishing his sword and looked up at her. "The world is so big, it's time to go to the next place."

Yun Zhi walked over to the stone bench next to him and sat down. "Mr. Zhou, why are you so obsessed with wandering the world? Wouldn't it be better to just live in peace in a corner?"

"It would be nice to live in peace in a corner, but that's not what I want. Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel the world with a sword and wipe out all injustice?"

Yun Zhi didn't continue his words, but instead changed the subject, "Mr. Zhou, what do you think of the tax increase?"

"When those in power are unkind and officials are unfair, it is always those who suffer."

Perhaps he was thinking of his parents who died on the way to escape famine, and his face was filled with anger, and he uttered these outrageous words.

"Then... what does Mr. Zhou think?"

Yun Zhi looked towards the capital, "How long can it last?"

Zhou Yifeng looked at her sharply, his voice rising unconsciously, "What do you know?"

"The building is about to collapse."

Yun Zhi stood up and walked up to him step by step, "Mr. Zhou, let's make a bet."

"What bet?"

"Let's bet that within three years, the Tianqi Kingdom will be in chaos. The princes, generals, and civilians will rise up in rebellion and attack the country, leaving it in ruins."

"If I win, Mr. Zhou will have to follow me and be loyal to me. If I lose, it will only be a waste of a few years."

Zhou Yifeng looked deeply at the person in front of him who could only be considered a girl, but the words he said did not sound like what a little girl would say.

He has been here for almost three years, but he still can't see through the person in front of him, and sometimes he is even tricked by her.

He looks harmless, but every word he says seems to have a deeper meaning, and you can easily fall into it if you're not careful.

He looked directly at the majestic and confident man in front of him and said with certainty, "You want to be emperor."

"I didn't want to do that originally. Troubled times are coming. Why can't I be the emperor?"

When she first arrived here, Yun Zhi just felt too tired and wanted to have a good rest.

It has been almost ten years now, and Yun Zhi actually feels that such ordinary days are not bad.

Loved by parents and protected by brothers.

But, this world is so unforgiving that it is impossible to live an ordinary life.

Yun Zhi has never liked being controlled by others, so let this chaotic world end in her hands.

"I can make the world peaceful, prosperous, and prosperous. Mr. Zhou... do you want to bet with me?"

Zhou Yifeng had to admit that Yun Zhi was very good at bewitching people, and every word she said was what he was thinking.

And she gives people a sense of trustworthiness, as if anything she says can come true.

It's also ridiculous that he unconsciously believed what a child under ten years old said.

I've even begun to imagine such a world.

"Just like Miss Yun said, I won't lose anything. I can afford to wait for three years. I'll take the gamble."

Their eyes met, and Yun Zhi raised the corner of her mouth, "I will definitely not let Mr. Zhou regret his decision today."

Only the beautiful garden knew about the two people's outrageous words.

What no one could have imagined was that at the time of autumn harvest, a notice broke the apparent tranquility.

It also became the beginning of this chaotic era.
