"I don't know." The old man replied.

"I don't know how long this country can last, but I know that I can't last anymore. The people in the village, I am the only one left. Those with a little strength went to South Korea to pull things. Maybe they are still there. I can have a bite to eat." The old man said.

"But I can't hold it anymore." The old man said at this time.

"I'm so hungry. In the nearby villages, many people starved to death." The Qi people said at this time.

"The Qi people, even eating is a problem now, so the Qi people don't have to fight." The old man said.

"Well, what you said makes sense," Shang Wen said.

"War seems to be far away from you." Shang Wen continued.

"Far," said the old man at this time.

"We civilians. What do we want, we just need to be able to eat enough." The old man continued.

"However, taxes, wars, and many other things make us Qi people unable to survive. Those rioters, why are they in chaos? It's not because the taxes are too high. Those noble gentlemen don't have to do anything , They don’t have to worry about freezing to death or starving to death in winter, but we civilians are different. We don’t have clothes to keep out the cold, and we have a lot of food. Without these, we people can only freeze to death and starve to death.” The old man said .

"What does war have to do with us? It has nothing to do with it. It just speeds up our death." The old man said with some pain.

"I used to have three sons in my family, but now I don't have one. Even the youngest grandson was killed by the mob." The old man said sadly.

"I. I'll just live like this." The old man dragged in pain.

Shang Wen heard this.in silence.He didn't know what to say. Many political principles became so pale and powerless in front of the old man's statement.

Shangwen did not continue to ask, because the situation here is enough to explain the problem, and many facts have already been placed in front of Shangwen.

On the way back to the camp of the new South Korean army, Shang Wen was silent, while Mo Li just looked at Shang Wen.

"Why don't you speak," Mo Li asked at this time.

"Oh. Say something," Naofumi replied, breaking the silence.

"What happened just now," Mo Li asked at this time.

"Oh." Shangwen waved his arms stiffly.

"I. I don't know what to say," Shang Wen said at this time.

"Really." Shang Wen continued.

"A lot of things are beyond my imagination." Shang Wen said.

"Me." Shangwen wanted to say something, but he stopped.

"I can't speak." Shang Wen continued.

"There are so many things that touch me deeply. But I don't know what to say," Shang Wen said painfully.

"You can say it. I see you are in pain." Mo Li said at this time.

"En." Shangwen nodded silently.But he didn't speak, just looked at the dilapidated scenery outside the window, a dilapidated state of Qi.

After a long period of silence.Shang Wencai opened his mouth to speak.

"I don't know if it's right for me to stop Qin's unification war," Shang Wen said.And Mo Li was almost asleep at this time.

"If the Qin State unified the world, perhaps such a situation could be avoided." Shang Wen said.

"However, Qin will soon impose heavy taxes like those nobles, and the people of Qi will still enter another era of heavy taxes." Shang Wen said.

"The biggest reason why I don't want to unify the Qin State may be that I don't want more people to be immersed in the huge price after unification, an era of heavy taxes. Such unification is a serious problem." Shang Wen continued. .

"The unification of Qin will not solve this problem," Shang Wen said.

"You have seen it too. Taxation is the biggest problem. It is not benevolent government, rule of law, or other systems. The fundamental problem lies in taxation. Taxation is too heavy. Many people do not pay taxes, and many people pay heavy taxes. .This is the root of the problem. In Qin State, this problem has been solved very well and in a very balanced way. However, you can see that this problem in other countries cannot be solved at all.” Shang Wen said at this time.

"In Qi State, the most popular place is actually the place of the nobles, and the houses of the common people are all gone. Why, it is because of the differential taxation." Shang Wen continued.

"En." Mo Li said.

"Heavy taxes will seriously affect the economy. This is how the strength of countries is weakened. If they were unified earlier, those people might be spared the disaster of war. However, the Qin State will maintain an imbalance, and the war will increase Qin's taxes. The ambition will expand rapidly. What are the consequences of the expansion," Shangwen said at this time.

"It's just that more and more taxes from Qin are coming again." Shang Wen said.

"Now, you know where the root of the problem is. Taxation." Shang Wen told Mo Li the answer.

"En." Mo Li nodded.

"Therefore, I hope you can participate in Qin's politics. Qin's politics needs you. I have decided to increase the power of the parliament. Only after the power of the parliament is increased can we check and balance Qin's possible tax plans in the future." Shangwen said.

"Political parties, you need to establish your own political party and your political ideas. Use the parliament to check and balance King Qin." Shang Wen said to Mo Li.

"Only in this way, the tragedy will not repeat itself." Shang Wen continued.

"En. I don't understand what you mean, but I know. You must be doing it for our own good." Mo Li said at this time.

"Yes." Shangwen agreed.

"I will tell the elders what you think. I think our elders will participate." Mo Li said while looking at Shang Wen.

"En. Thank you." Shang Wen said.

"Thank you for not letting these tragedies happen again. This kind of thing can't happen again." Shang Wen continued.

In the southern state of Chu.In an open space outside the colony's defenses.Thousands of Yue people gathered in the open space outside Chu's colony.They want to attack Chu's colonies.

In the Chu colony, defensive wooden walls built with local thick trees were erected high.

"What are they going to do?" the local governor said dissatisfiedly looking at the gathered Yue people.

"They want us to give back their land." A bearded man wearing half-military and half-civilian attire in the style of a colonel in the Qin Army replied.

"Give them back the land, what land," the magistrate asked dissatisfied at this time.

"Well, that is the mountain we occupied. That mountain has very good conditions and can produce tea. These tea can be sold very well. The Qin people invented a method called grafting, which can quickly produce tea. , the effect is very fast." said the bearded colonel.

"Well, this is very good. Our colony has a lot of money to make." The local governor said happily.

"But those Yue people said that we occupied the place where their ancestors lived." The bearded colonel said.

"They destroyed our tea trees, which were just planted, and arrested a few of us. They killed some of us and asked us to quit that land. It's best for us to get out of this land." The bearded colonel said .

The local governor pursed his mouth at this time.Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with such a result.

"These Yue people. They will seriously interfere with our business." The local governor said disapprovingly at this time.
