After the Founding Emperor passed away, Yu Mingqing ascended the throne.
-
He kept the Founding Emperor's teachings in mind, recruited talented people widely, and worked diligently at governing.
He learned from the lessons of history, avoided indulging in beauty, and cracked down hard on corruption.
He encouraged invention and innovation, welcomed all ideas, and opened every channel for people to speak freely.
Yet tax revenue fell year after year, talented officials became scarce, natural disasters struck one after another, rebels raised their banners at home, and wolves nipped at his heels from abroad.
Yu Mingqing: Hey, wait! I was supposed to be a wise ruler. How am I getting farther and farther down the road to becoming a tyrant?
Ding! The Wise Ruler System is now bound. Hello, Tyrant No. 108, Yu Mingqing ^-^
Tyrant Yu Mingqing: I'm not doing well.
-
[Change court sessions from once a day to once every seven days. The emperor needs rest, too.]
Yu Mingqing protested: No, I never said I wanted to rest!
[Tax revenue +10,000 silver coins]
Yu Mingqing fainted. Was it his fault for working too hard?
-
[Abolish the existing anti-corruption system and introduce a referral commission scheme. Officials don't take bribes, so the job is half as enjoyable.]
Yu Mingqing stared blankly: Are you going to take responsibility when the treasury is empty?
[Tax revenue +10,000,000 silver coins]
Yu Mingqing was stunned. So making money was that easy? Then what had all his hard work been for?
-
[Replace the three visits to the thatched cottage with passing someone's house three times without going in. If talented people don't come to me, I don't want them.]
Yu Mingqing was beside himself with grief: System, do you understand that this will discourage talented people?
[Talent +11,111]
Yu Mingqing broke down. You people are so hard to read, so hard to read.
-
A scholar watched the emperor issue a string of new policies as if he were desperately grasping at straws, and waited for a chance to serve the new dynasty.
But year after year went by. Why hadn't this ramshackle old dynasty collapsed yet?
Theme: Hard work only pays off when you head in the right direction.
Hahahahahaha! [Like]
Damn it, we have one meeting a day [Eh~] It would be strange if the capitalists did not subjugate the country
