When the people of the Irus Empire heard the news, they all rushed to the streets and cheered loudly, reveling to their heart's content!
How many years had passed?!
The land that had been split off had finally returned!
Solant!
That land that was even larger than the current Irus Empire had finally returned to the Irus Empire!
The Irus Empire's territory had instantly expanded by more than two times! It had once again become the most powerful country in Prandal!
Our Irus Empire was finally no longer a weak country that could be bullied by anyone!
Although we had been weak for a hundred years, we had been the most powerful and only civilized human country for an even longer period of time!
Weakness was only temporary, strength was eternal!
The people of the Irus Empire were so excited that their eyes were brimming with tears, especially Aubry and Adrian, who were currently in Ellington. How many years had the late king looked forward to this? How many years had Victor worked hard for?
What they had not been able to do, Tang En had only been in office for half a year, and he had already accomplished it!
Solant's return was only the beginning. Next, he would recover even more land and plant the Irus Empire's flag all over Prandal, so that the world would once again fly with the flag of the Irus Empire!
At this moment, in the four duchies between Solant and the Irus Empire, the Ivalan Duchy, the Poleni Duchy, the Yakana Duchy, and the Sila Duchy were both happy and worried.
They were happy that Solant had returned to the Irus Empire. They, who had been stuck in the middle, could finally return to the Irus Empire and enjoy the treatment of a large country again. They would no longer be treated as small countries where they had to take a carriage and walk a few steps before leaving the country. Even merchants would not welcome them.
The worrisome thing was that after returning to the Ilrus Empire, their administrative ranks would plummet by a few levels. The original king might still be able to become a city lord, but the original ministers would only be able to become something like a bureau chief. Of course, after considering the treatment and welfare of the government workers after returning to the Ilrus Empire, they could still look forward to their future life, which would become even better.
Overall, these duchies were positive about returning to the Irus Empire.
But what about Solant's people? At this moment, they were all in a state of shock. They stared blankly at the image in the sky, unable to speak.
Klein's death could be considered good news in this one-sided situation. However, the three lords who were most likely to seize the throne had also died?
How could they continue?
It was one thing for them to die, but why did Solant have to return to the Irrus Empire?!
Of course, some people would be happy to return to the Ilrus Empire, but some people would be angry because they would lose too many privileges. These people would definitely not be willing to remain silent.
Some people began to worry that Solant would fall into chaos.
"They are our heroes, and also Solant's heroes. We will never forget that it was them who stood up in Solant's darkest hour. It was them who brought hope to Solant. We will remember them forever!"
Who the hell wants you to remember them?!
Sinclair roared crazily, trying his best to destroy everything around him.
Father is dead?!
His father, who was at the peak of the Extraordinary Level, was killed by Klein?!
Damn it — it shouldn't have been like this!
How could Klein be a Fifth Level Supreme Level powerhouse?!
Since he was so strong, who had the ability to kill him?!
It's fine if he died, but why did Solant return to the Irus Empire?!
"The three heroes have fallen, and at this time, our light of hope has appeared. It was him who brought the end of the world for Tyrant Klein. It was him who brought peace to this world. It was him who will lead us to the future, to a better tomorrow —"
When she read this paragraph, Sharnelly and the group of people around her had a rather strange expression on their faces, especially Alleria, who secretly stepped on Twain a few times.
She had never seen such a thick-skinned person!
"He is the Regent of the Irus Empire, the great Tang En Majesty!"
"This is Tang En Majesty. Next, he will speak to you."
Sharnelly formally introduced Tang En to everyone, then took off her crown and quietly retreated behind the scenes.
"Everyone, I am Tang En, Tang En of the Irus Empire, Tang En of the Datang Chamber of Commerce."
Tang En's self-introduction was very simple and straightforward. "In short, return to the Irus Empire and follow my footsteps. Within a year, I can double your average income. Two years later, I can make your quality of life reach the standard of the Irus Empire."
Simple! Violent!
The Pope and Sharnelly were stunned. It was the first time they saw a king speak like this at such a solemn moment that would be recorded in history!
Aurelia also sighed. There was no royal demeanor at all …
But fortunately, she had long been used to Tang En's style of speech. His words were rough but reasonable. After all, the people actually did not care who the ruler was. They only cared about practical benefits. They would support whoever could make them live a better life. But then again, in a feudal society like the Prandal, they were not qualified to decide anything. Only Tang En, who liked to attack with public opinion, would care about what they thought.
Klein, on the other hand, was at a disadvantage because of this.
After hearing Tang En's declaration, the eyes of some people who understood the changes in the Irus Empire suddenly lit up. Damn, this is good!
Ever since the Solant Kingdom split up, it had been the most powerful kingdom in the Prandal for more than a hundred years. But in the past two years, it had been overtaken by the Irus Empire!
What was the reason?
Wasn't it all because of Tang En and his Datang Chamber of Commerce?!
It was just a chamber of commerce, but it had led the economy of the entire country to take off. Who would have dared to think of such a thing before?
But Tang En not only dared to think of it, he dared to do it, and he really did it!
Now, in the Irus Empire, as long as there was a little determination and dared to work hard, the minimum monthly income had exceeded 100 gold. The income of the urban residents was even higher, with the average monthly income reaching 1000 gold. Among them, the most outstanding was Ellington.
Ellington was originally a small and remote town. With the rise of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, the wages of the employees had risen from 10 gold to 20 gold at the beginning to 1500 gold a month. Some of the senior employees who had been with the Datang Chamber of Commerce since the beginning were now in management positions. They could receive a super high income of more than 3000 gold a month, and there were also various benefits and bonuses!
Who would not be envious?
It had to be known that two years ago, if these people could earn 1 gold a month, they would wake up laughing in their dreams. If they could save 10 gold a year, they could be considered to be in a well-off family!
Ellington's economic growth could no longer be described as rapid, it was simply the speed of light!
They didn't ask to reach the level of Ellington's residents, as long as they could reach the average level of the Irus Empire, it would be enough. It had to be known that the average income of the villages in Solant was only around 20 gold. The average income of the cities and towns in Shengge City was only 200 gold a month.
Two years ago, this was twice the average income of the Irus Empire, which was enough to make them feel proud. But now, it could only make them feel ashamed of themselves.
"Is it an illusion?"
Aurelia muttered. She seemed to hear faint cheers coming from outside? These people couldn't be so unprincipled …
"Now, I announce that from now on, all the cities and towns in Solant will have their taxes reduced by 5%. The business tax will be reduced by another 5%, and the agricultural tax will be reduced by half. They will be unified under the management of the Irus Empire's Department of Taxation."
Tax reduction!? Moreover, it was such a large-scale and powerful tax reduction!?
All the cities and towns in Solant were in an uproar. Some people were crying tears of joy, some were dumbfounded, and some were puzzled.
Obviously, the king's income was the greatest with high taxes, so why would he reduce taxes? Moreover, it was so powerful?
Even more people began to cheer. After hearing this news, the taverns in some villages were immediately filled with ecstasy. The farmers were so excited that they howled wildly.
The agricultural tax would be reduced by half!
This meant that not only would they be able to fill their stomachs by farming, but they would also be able to save a lot of food for emergencies!
The situation of people starving to death would never happen again!
The great Tang En Majesty!
The selfless Tang En Majesty!
The wise Tang En Majesty!
Tang En had only announced a policy, but he had immediately bought over 80% of the people at the bottom of Solant's hierarchy, as well as all the Chambers of Commerce. No one would refuse the tax reduction policy.
In the eyes of those people, Tang En had immediately transformed into a wise king who was shrouded in holy light!
At this moment, not only the people in Solant's territory, even some people in Lonitant's territory were excited. The Irus Empire's economic strength and military strength were soaring, and its overall strength was increasing day by day. Moreover, their average income had already surpassed that of Lonitant's. Since this was the case, returning to the Irus Empire did not seem to be a bad thing, right?
At this moment, Oscar's face was twitching as he looked at the projection of Tang En in the sky. Although Nanilla was the territory of the Aeolus Church, it also had a Radiant Church. He really could not refuse something like the projection of the Oracle.
But … if you want to take back Solant, so be it? Don't f * cking ruin my plans!
Brother-in-law, do you know that you're making things difficult for me?!
We're all kings, why make things difficult for each other?
You're tempting my people and making things difficult for me, do you know …
Of course, Tang En did not know what the others were thinking at this moment. He was only doing what he thought was right, and this matter was beneficial for him to complete the ultimate mission. That was all.
Even if he knew that Oscar would be conflicted because of this, he would probably continue to do it happily.
You can be conflicted as much as you want, my happiness is the most important!
