Ruling Another World: From the Start, I Teach the Emperor to Rebel

After transmigrating to another dynasty, Jiang Ziyan's first plan was to get himself thrown in jail so he could survive. Standing by the Dongling River, he shouted, "The Great Chu is doomed!"

But instead of the bailiffs, the emperor showed up.

"You brat, my Great Chu is flourishing. Why make such outrageous claims?"

Jiang Ziyan snorted. "Letting royal children marry only into prestigious noble families is a recipe for disaster."

"You don't know a thing, boy. His Majesty's move shows favor, strengthens his rule, and ensures lasting peace."

"You old fool, what the hell do you know about rebellion?"

"Oh? You know a lot about it, young man?"

"Tell me, if you were from a noble family, wouldn't you want to expand your family line?"

"Of course."

"And when your family grew, wouldn't you need more land?"

"Naturally."

"There's only so much land in the world. As the noble families grow, the number of farmers shrinks. What happens to the farmers who lose their land?"

"They become servants or tenant farmers..."

"After ten years of this, the noble families will have more land and tenant farmers, while there will be fewer farmers in the world and less tax revenue. The country will be weak and the people impoverished. At that point, you raise the call, declare the emperor unjust, and the tenant farmers and household servants become soldiers. The common people join in, and the rebellion succeeds."

After Jiang Ziyan finished speaking, he shouted in his heart: Come arrest me!

The emperor thought to himself: This guy is incredible.
