I don’t know who was the first to kneel down with a thud, while crying and shouting in praise:

"Heaven has eyes! Heaven pities us! Long live Prince You! Long live Prince You!"

And with these words spoken, the square instantly fell into a sea of cries, everyone couldn’t help but kneel down, shouting long live Prince You,

And from that moment, long live our Emperor was brought forward prematurely.

Actually, Lin Yi hadn’t expected this; he hadn’t expected the people to be so excited.

Although he had a budget and expectations in his heart, when he shouted these words, the people would be extremely excited, but he didn’t expect them to be so excited that they spontaneously shouted out this golden phrase, directly calling out long live Emperor, which was somewhat unexpected to him.

Thinking about it, it was actually understandable; seeing the people crying their hearts out, Lin Yi knew that the lives of the people nowadays were indeed very hard.

Especially in this Dayou Kingdom, previously Prince You and Prince Ning were at odds with each other.

Many national policies were difficult to implement, and as a result, the situation below can be said to be a mess.

And the consequence brought by a mess is the suffering of the people.

Now, the tax burden has reached ten percent collected as forty percent, such a thing is rare on the stage of history, and often the higher the tax rate. It is when the peasant uprising occurs.

Lin Yi dared to say, if he hadn’t taken over this Dayou Kingdom, I believe it wouldn’t have taken many years before a group of rebels would inevitably appear below.

Of course, they can’t be called rebels, they should be called uprisings.

Once it really comes to that, this Dayou Kingdom will certainly fall, this is an unstoppable trend, especially under the contention of two factions, there will be no good outcome.

Just like the previous state, although Prince You and Prince Ning were in heated competition, fighting for speech control, similarly, the leaders below also held heavy troops in their hands, after all, they all had different forces behind them.

Taking advantage of such a situation, they could gather troops, it wouldn’t take long, as long as they accumulated enough strength, if others didn’t rise, they would lead the uprising themselves.

Of course, these things haven’t happened, so it’s not necessary to say more, just like today.

Listening to the cries of long live below, Lin Yi felt very stirred.

Actually, in his view, the people are the easiest to satisfy, now, although he has changed the national policy to ten-in-one tax, this is not the result he wants, he wants not just the ten-in-one tax, but no taxes at all.

Of course, not imposing taxes doesn’t mean no taxes at all, just not imposing agricultural taxes.

However, this isn’t something that can be accomplished overnight, he will set about getting this done as soon as possible.

With Lin Yi announcing the establishment of the Dayou Daily Newspaper, countless fast horses instantly galloped out of the Capital City, their target is every capital city, every Jun County in this Dayou Kingdom, they want to deliver all the newspapers printed today.

This necessitates mentioning where the paper for this newspaper comes from?

Of course, it was the product of the Ministry of Works’ research ordered by Lin Yi a few days ago.

At this moment, although the papermaking technology has not appeared, with Lin Yi here, with the papermaking technology in hand, developing this technology is as easy as pie.

It took only two days before finished products began to be produced.

The papermaking technology has advanced a thousand years, arriving in this world.

It can be foreseen, once these newspapers are distributed to various places, what kind of shock they will trigger.

After all, for the current society, for the current dynasty, the newspaper’s content is not straightforwardly just disseminating information.

It is more like a decree from above, more like a means to stabilize the court’s authority.

Just like now underneath, it can be said that true authority hasn’t reached the countryside, even if your decrees online are exquisite, but down below, they’ll be blocked, and underneath, people only recognize aristocratic families, who cares if you’re Wang Ting.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Yi is eager to distribute this newspaper first, this way, ensuring absolute sovereignty is the greatest benefit.

Of course, this newspaper will inevitably encounter resistance from local gentry and aristocratic families, they will definitely try everything to obstruct this newspaper’s distribution.

But Lin Yi has ways to deal with this, every person delivering newspapers is not alone, but grouped together in teams of ten.

These individuals are all soldiers, if any small team doesn’t return, once an issue arises, a larger team will be sent to investigate.

If this next team also doesn’t return, then an army will be dispatched.

Although these gentry and aristocratic families have absolute speech control over ordinary people, when faced with the army, they would be deterred too.

After all, no one would foolishly wrestle with the entire Dayou Kingdom, what they want is to be local despots at most.

But they aren’t stupid enough to stick their necks in front of Lin Yi, waiting for him to chop.

Even the most powerful families, can they override the imperial authority?

After the enthronement ceremony, it finally came to the time for feasting with officials.

In this Royal Palace, it was brightly lit, tables filled with delicacies.

However, these delicacies weren’t very appealing to Lin Yi, just like the things he ate before, in his opinion, it was definitely wasting ingredients.

Moreover, in his mind, he already had an idea.

That is, when he is free in the future, he will gather all the chefs in the Imperial Kitchen, hold a meeting, teach them some basic cooking methods.

After all, he can’t rely on himself to cook every time he eats, right?

And now he has become the ruler of this Dayou Kingdom, the future will certainly be busy, how could he waste his time in the kitchen?

However, one thing must be said, that is during today’s enthronement ceremony, Lin Yi directly made the decision regarding his title.

Which means, from now on everyone must address him as Emperor.

As for the previous title of Wang, it has been directly canceled.

Moreover, he no longer refers to himself as ’lonely’, but as ’I’.

The reason for this change, is because Lin Yi is conveying a message to everyone.
