I started an industrial revolution in another world

Chapter 8 The people’s will, AC technology lights up! [3/7 Asking for flowers, asking for evaluation votes! ]

“Yes, don’t you think we are human beings?”

“Our taxes are already heavy, and we can barely survive. If we have to increase taxes this month, we will be completely dead!”

Taxes were just increased a few days ago. If they are increased again now, I’m afraid it will really provoke a civil unrest and rebellion!

The tens of thousands of people in the square were indignant. They shouted loudly, and some were even very excited. Gu Yuan believed that if he really said that taxes would be increased, there would really be a rebellion.

But today, he didn’t come here to increase taxes.

“”Silence!”

Gu Yuan shouted.

Hundreds of knights shouted in unison, slamming their scabbard swords into the ground, making a loud noise. The sound echoed in the square!

For a moment, the voices of hundreds of knights overwhelmed the tens of thousands of people!

“Fellow citizens of Los, when did I ever say that we would raise taxes?”

Gu Yuan stood on the high platform, his eyes constantly scanning the restless elements among the citizens below.

“I declare that you will be exempted from all taxes this year!!”

Gu Yuan’s words instantly calmed down all the angry people.

Because of the special structure of the square, and because Gu Yuan himself had the strength of a knight, Gu Yuan’s words were clearly heard by every citizen.

“Varied….What…”

“Did I hear that correctly?….”

A citizen was stunned. He looked at his friend next to him blankly.

“Not only will the king not raise taxes, he’s also going to give us tax exemptions?!”

“Is this true or false?”

“this…”

Tens of thousands of people looked at each other and whispered to each other.

Not only were the people stunned, but even the knights and soldiers on guard were all stunned.

Tax exemption!?

They also suspected that they had heard it wrong.

Originally, these knights and soldiers were all nervous and ready to suppress the rebellion.

Some soldiers were even ready to rebel with the people. If Gu Yuan said that he would increase taxes,

“You heard it right. Not only will I not increase taxes, but I will also exempt you from all taxes this year. Not only this year, but tomorrow’s taxes will also be the lightest they have ever been!”

Gu Yuan stood in front of tens of thousands of citizens with his hands behind his back.

No wonder Los was weak. When the previous kings of Los were in power, the citizens had to bear heavy taxes.

There were also some exploitation by the nobles.

But now because of the war, everyone thought that when Los would perish, all the nobles in the country would flee, leaving only Gu Yuan, who had just ascended the throne, and some knights loyal to the royal court.

After looking at the domestic tax returns, Gu Yuan even thought it was a miracle that there hadn’t been a rebellion.

However, seven or eight out of ten taxes were only added recently. If they were delayed for a while, there would really be a civil uprising.

Gu Yuan would certainly stop these things.

Gu Yuan wanted to carry out reforms, thorough reforms!

First of all, we must start with taxation.

And if there is no taxation, where will the money for national support come from?

Gu Yuan has his own way. Los has no money, but it doesn’t mean that other countries have no money!

There are so many countries in the world, and there is no shortage of rich countries.

They are Gu Yuan’s target, but the first to bear the brunt is still the Kingdom of Nord!

“Not only will I be exempt from taxes, I will also announce that all privileges of the nobility will be cut off! Only an empty title will remain. In our Los country, there will be no more nobles except the king!”

Gu Yuan dropped another bombshell!

“What!”

“How is this possible!”

“Exempting the nobility from all privileges means that there will be no more noble masters in the future?”

“What does your majesty want to do?”

“No, if that’s the case, then we will never be exploited by the nobles again?! We will never have to endure the exploitation of the nobles again.”

This was like dropping a bomb into a pool of stagnant water, and the water immediately rose.

Countless citizens whispered to each other, and they didn’t understand what Gu Yuan wanted to do.

The reason why Gu Yuan wanted to do this was because there were really no other nobles in the country except for him, the king. The other nobles had already fled when only Los City was left in Los Country. The remaining knights were also nobles, but they belonged to the royal family, and they would rise and fall together with the royal family, so this decree would not affect them.

By issuing such a decree, Gu Yuan would surely gain a lot of people’s hearts.

【The people’s support is what the people want, and the people’s support value is unlocked! Get the people’s support value: 53642】

【The livelihood technology tree is opened, and the public sentiment can light up livelihood technology in the livelihood technology tree】

【Civilian technology and military technology trees complement each other. 】

Unlocked a new technology tree?

This wave is not a loss!

Gu Yuan was excited.

Civilian technology is also very important. How many military can be derived from civil technology.

It can be said that civil technology and military technology have always complemented each other and influenced each other.

With civil technology, Gu Yuan can also point out more military technology.

【Alternating current has been unlocked. Should we use the alternating current technology with a power value of 20,000 people?】

【The alternating current series of derivative livelihood technology designs have been unlocked. Do you want to use 30,000 people’s hearts to purchase them?】

“Buy it!”

Gu Yuan was relieved and gave the order.

【The purchase was successful, the technology has been delivered, and 10 attached technology workers have appeared. They will be waiting for Your Majesty in the palace!】

“No internal combustion engine?…”

Gu Yuan is a little disappointed

【The internal combustion engine needs the steam engine technology to be lit up. Your Majesty, please keep up the good work.】

“There is no internal combustion engine, there is no internal combustion engine.”

Gu Yuan came back to his senses, and what he heard was the cheers of tens of thousands of people in the square.

“Long live His Majesty!”

“”Long live His Majesty the King!”

Countless people shouted loudly, making people’s ears ring.

Ordinary lower-class people are like this, whoever treats them well is the object of their loyalty.

Compared with other countries, are there any kings who give tax exemptions to the people? No!

Guyuan is a special case, the only one!

“Your Majesty, you have abolished all privileges of the nobility in your country. If this gets out, it will probably cause dissatisfaction in other countries. After all, the nobility has existed on the continent for thousands or even tens of thousands of years…..”

Stephens was next to Gu Yuan and said with some concern

“Don’t be afraid, I want to create a brand new country! In my country, there will be no oppression by the nobles, and the common people will live in happiness and harmony.”

“What I want to change is this world!”

Gu Yuan was full of pride and waved his hand.

“A new country without aristocratic oppression, a happy and healthy country.”

Stephens was stunned. What a great idea. Such a country must be great. Can the Los Kingdom really reach this point?

“By the way, how is the collection of those resources going?”

Gu Yuan asked

“It has been arranged, and all kinds of merchants have been found. Your Majesty, the factory you want to open will be able to start operation soon. Those merchants have no distinction between countries, they only have money in their eyes!”

Stephens said about merchants, and he was very disgusted

“Merchants, go and make the arrangements. I want to meet those merchants.”

Gu Yuan smiled. Now the country needs money. Those merchants are richer than each other. It’s time to take action against them.
