Chapter 772: Awakening

"Pfft..."

The villagers' words directly made Ying Feiyu laugh.

"Nowadays, a book only costs a hundred words. As for carving the engravings and buying ink and paper?"

“Also, if you want to publish a book yourself, you must first find the original version before you can print it!”

"If you go to the library to borrow it, you don't have to spend money! But if you have the time to read all the books, do you still need to print them?"

Only now did Ying Feiyu realize that these people had definitely been brainwashed by those newspapers that confused right and wrong.

Even normal thinking logic is gone!

"Well... that's true!"

A commoner thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

But he was pushed hard by someone next to him, "What is it? There are no good people in the government. They came here just to arrest us all!"

As soon as the words fell, the anger of the people that had just calmed down rose again.

"Oh! You're so good, why are you being arrested?"

Wang Ben was rendered speechless by them.

"Who knows what you want to do? It's just to increase taxes so that you officials can be rich and prosperous!"

The people said angrily.

"The imperial court has been conquering foreign tribes for many years. The spoils obtained are much more than the taxes. Why do they need to increase taxes? In a few years, I want to cancel all agricultural taxes!"

Ying Zheng was also very angry with these fools.

The current agricultural tax is just a symbolic payment. In two years, when Daqin becomes stronger, there will be no need to collect this agricultural tax at all!

"What? Abolition of agricultural taxes? Really?"

Upon hearing this, all the people became energetic and focused their attention on Ying Zheng.

"I am the emperor, and I keep my word!"

Ying Zheng said in a deep voice with a grimace on his face.

"Don't believe him. They are all liars. None of them are good people. They know how to bully our people in every possible way! They will try their best to exploit us!"

The people's attitude towards the imperial court had just changed, and Cui Sheng, who was holding a knife over there, said this.

The eyes of the people suddenly changed and became as cold as before!

"Bullying the people? If the imperial court really wants to bully you, why does it empty its treasury to build railways and roads for you? If the imperial court really wants to bully you, why does it research high-yielding grains to keep you fed and clothed?"

Zhang Han couldn't stand it, so he pointed at the people's noses and cursed.

"this……?"

The attitude of the people has relaxed somewhat.

"Hmph! This is like raising pigs to be slaughtered. They want to fatten us up first, and then give us a severe blow!"

Cui Sheng began to make things out of nothing again, shaking the will of the people.

"If I guess correctly, these carvings should belong to Cui Sheng, the eldest son of Cui, right?"

Ying Feiyu observed it for a long time and said with a smile.

"So what? Isn't it possible for people to talk about what the imperial court does?"

The things had been found, and Cui Sheng had no choice but to admit it.

"The Cui family has fallen, and you, the once-famous eldest son, have also fallen into despair! But if you live a good life, you should have enough food and clothing! But you have chosen this road! Alas!"

Ying Feiyu shook his head in regret.

"Stop talking nonsense! So what if those carvings are mine? I just want the people to see the true face of the imperial court!"

Cui pointed at Ying Feiyu and others angrily.

"Huh? So it turns out that he printed the newspapers we read?"

"No wonder he often buys paper and goes home!"

"So, those newspapers we saw are all fake?"

"This Cui Sheng looks pretty good on weekdays, but I didn't expect that he was secretly smearing the imperial court!"

"We were all deceived by this kid! The content in the newspaper was what he wanted us to see, not what really happened!"

"This kid's heart is so dark, he almost hurt us...!"

After understanding all this, the people were filled with regret.

"Your Majesty, please forgive the common people for their ignorance!"

"Your Highness, we really didn't mean it!"

"This kid deliberately smeared the imperial court and published it in newspapers to make us mistakenly think that it was true!"

"If the imperial court doesn't come today, we don't know how long we will be kept in the dark by this guy...!"

The people who had previously defended Cui Sheng gritted their teeth with hatred after realizing that they had been deceived by him.

If His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince had not argued with them, they would all have been dragged to be chopped down at this moment!

"Humph! You cowards don't dare to rise up, overthrow the Qin government, change the dynasty, and become your own masters?"

Seeing these spineless guys, Cui Sheng immediately spat on the ground.

"Huh? That dandy young master back then actually wanted to be his own master?"

These words made Ying Feiyu look at him with admiration.

Is this still the eldest young master of the Cui family that he knew back then?

I think back then, this boy was an out-and-out playboy. When he heard that the Xiang family was going to Xianyang, he was so frightened that he ran away in despair. He didn't even care that his father was dead!

In just a few years, he actually wanted to overthrow the Qin government?

"So what? The Qin Dynasty was tyrannical, killed loyal ministers, exiled his own sons, and committed all kinds of evil. It's time for a change!"

Having reached this point, Cui Sheng simply went all out and said everything that should be said and what should not be said.

After hearing this, the ministers' hearts trembled, secretly thinking that this was not good!

His Majesty exiled his son Hu Hai, which has always been a pain point for His Majesty!

They don’t usually say it with their mouths, but they all know it in their hearts!

Hu Hai was once his most beloved child, but he didn't expect that he actually wanted to kill his father.

If it were anyone else, no one would be able to accept it!

Normally no one mentions it, so forget it, but today it was revealed again, and Ying Zheng’s face immediately turned bad!

The huge fists clenched loudly!

"Father, he used to be a dandy. He didn't even know how to do business, let alone these important political affairs! According to my estimation, there must be someone behind him!"

Seeing Ying Zheng's anger, he was afraid that his father would kill him in anger, so he quickly spoke out.

He didn't believe that a playboy could make such a big change without anyone's guidance!

They also know how to use cunning means such as publishing fake newspapers to arouse public outrage!

Fortunately, this time there was a fire in Dongshan and they discovered this place!

If it had not been discovered, this circle would have gradually spread!

The people usually work hard in the fields and have no understanding of government affairs, so they will definitely believe it!

When the time comes for them to really rise up, it will be another bloody storm!

Da Qin's guns were aimed at the aliens, but Ying Feiyu didn't even blink!

But if he were to attack the people of Great Qin, it would be like a sharp knife thrust into his heart!

"Kang Anping, take him down and interrogate him strictly. We must make him tell the truth!"

Ying Zheng's eyes were scarlet, and scenes from the past appeared before his eyes.

After a long while, his clenched hands gradually relaxed and he gave an order to Kang Anping behind him!

At this point, the veterans heaved a sigh of relief!
Chapter completed!
