Chapter 1775 It seems that there is no change

"Husband, the dynasty has obviously changed, but why do I feel as if nothing has changed?" In Liu Xu's room, the young wife sighed in confusion while teaching her child to write.

"Isn't this a matter of course?" Liu Xu smiled. "Although the Lord of the World has changed, the Five Heavenly Emperors are still the same five. Not only have the previous nobles not been driven away, but they have all been promoted to higher positions. At the same time, a large number of nobles have been added!"

"The Holy City is still the Holy City, the Lord of Luo City is still the same, and the officials in the city have not changed at all... Even the official uniforms they wear are simply replaced by the government of the previous dynasty, under the euphemism of saving money!"

"How has the world changed?"

"Of course, if we have to find some changes, there are some. Although civilians are still the same civilians and the poor are still the same poor, in order to feed an army that has doubled in size, the daily tax that ordinary people need to pay has increased by 10%. This is indeed a big change!" Liu Xu said lightly.

At this time, two years had passed since the change of dynasty, and Ronggu Tiandi had been the master of the world for two years. His peak reputation back then had long gone, and almost everyone in the world no longer praised Ronggu Tiandi. On the contrary, there were more people cursing him than before.

No matter they were nobles or commoners, almost all of them were cursing Rong Gu Tiandi at this time, saying that he was the culprit who brought disaster to Gu'an World.

You may find it strange when you see this. What did Emperor Ronggu do to make everyone in the world scold him?

This has to start with the story of Ronggu Tiandi's ascension to the throne. Ronggu Tiandi is rare in the entire world. He became the Lord of the World by directly abdicating the throne from the previous Lord of the World without going through a large-scale war. Naturally, the price that Ronggu Tiandi had to pay was much greater.

The first reason was to gain the support of the other four Heavenly Emperors and the current Lord of the World. After Emperor Ronggu came to power, he not only did not abolish the positions and titles of the nobles of any force, but instead promoted all the nobles to a higher level.

Even the abdicated Lord of the World is respectfully addressed as the Supreme Emperor. He still has the title and treatment of the Lord of the World, but he has no real power.

Everyone was naturally happy at the beginning, and the nobles all felt that this change of dynasty was a good thing.

Soon, the nobles found that something was wrong. That is, while all the nobles were promoted, they themselves were actually not promoted. The pressure on them was still on them, and there was no extra fiefdom to be given to them. In addition to being promoted in name, they actually did not get any benefits.

That would be fine, the really terrible thing is that Emperor Ronggu also appointed a wave of new nobles. These new nobles are all the celestial generals who followed Emperor Ronggu all the way to the throne. They are the cornerstone of Emperor Ronggu and his base. Now that Emperor Ronggu has ascended to the throne, they must follow him and become nobles themselves!
In order to maintain his own base, Emperor Ronggu had to reward these meritorious officials no matter what, so all these meritorious officials became nobles, and these new nobles naturally had their own fiefdoms and rights, so they inevitably began to squeeze out the interests of the old nobles.

When these old nobles saw that the originally promised benefits did not come true and now they were forced to take away some of their profits, all their previous good impressions of Emperor Ronggu naturally disappeared. At the same time, they cursed him as a thief and began to miss the benefits of being the old Lord of the World.

The old nobles were not satisfied, and the new nobles who followed Emperor Rong Gu were also not satisfied.

These new nobles looked at the history of past dynasties, in which all the old guys died out, and the whole world was taken by the victors, and they, the new nobles, were the rulers of the new world. Apart from anything else, at least the five emperors would be replaced by the diehards of the original emperors.

However, there is no new Heavenly Emperor now, and the most important subordinate of Emperor Ronggu has only been given a second-class title. He still has to salute when he sees those damn old guys. Is this considered a change of dynasty?
The nobles were not satisfied, and the officials were also not satisfied. The reason was the same as before. A large number of new officials were appointed, and they robbed many people of their wealth.

The monks and those social elites were also dissatisfied. They originally supported Emperor Ronggu and hoped that after Emperor Ronggu came to power, he would be able to restrict other worlds so that their daily lives would not be so suffocating.

Then, Emperor Ronggu came to power with the support of other worlds. How could he have the courage to restrict other worlds? Instead, he relaxed many restrictions, allowing many occupied areas to expand again and giving up a lot of interests. This greatly reduced the resources that monks and social elites could enjoy, and they were even more bullied by those people from other worlds. They felt that they were worse off than before.

As for the civilians at the bottom of society...in order to feed his huge army, Emperor Ronggu simply increased the heavenly tax, and the lives of the civilians became even more difficult than before.

If other people only suffered losses in interests, then civilians suffered losses in lives.

Such an outrageous change of dynasty was naturally met with a barrage of criticism. Emperor Ronggu watched himself go from being the popular choice to being the target of public criticism in just two years. Even many of his loyal subordinates were secretly colluding, as if they wanted to bring him down as well.

Under such internal and external troubles, Emperor Ronggu Tiandi realized that he urgently needed to change and gain benefits, so he thought of the five-foot world that would allow him to rise successfully.

So, a few months later, the new world lord, Ronggu Tiandi, suddenly excitedly announced to all the citizens that he had reached an agreement with the Five-foot World. The Five-foot World would withdraw their occupied areas in the Yuangu Realm and return them all to the Gu'an World. Under the leadership of Ronggu Tiandi, the Gu'an World took back a occupied area for the first time.

As soon as the news was announced, everyone was naturally excited. The reputation of Emperor Ronggu once again rose, and many dissatisfactions were suppressed. Everyone excitedly went to the streets to shout and cheer, and the whole world was jubilant.

Then a few days later, the young wife suddenly found Liu Xu in pain, and told Liu Xu that she was going to the holy city!
"What are you going to the Holy City for?" Liu Xu asked with a frown.

"We, the Tongshi Group, must stop the Emperor of Heaven from signing a contract with the Five-foot World!" said the young wife with a firm look.

"What signing?" Liu Xu was stunned.

"The reason why the Five-foot World agreed to give up the occupied area is because the Emperor Ronggu agreed to sign a contract with the Five-foot World, allowing them to obtain the prospecting and mining rights of the minerals in the entire Yuangu Realm. Eighty percent of all the mined minerals belong to the Five-foot World, and twenty percent is ours. This is almost the same as giving the entire Yuangu Realm to the Five-foot World!" The young wife gritted her teeth and said, "We will never allow this to happen. We are going to the Holy City and we are going to stop this signing!"
