One of the main recent efforts of the German government has been to support the independence of Finland and Ukraine. According to the plan, the two countries will form the Kingdom of Finland and the Kingdom of Ukraine. The king, on the other hand, is concurrently held by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Finns and the Ukrainians have agreed that Your Majesty will be the king of both countries. However, they propose that the next king can be chosen from among your heirs. Prime Minister Billo said.

Qin Tian shook his head: "It seems that they still want to completely get rid of the control of the empire and truly achieve independence!" This one explicitly rejects them. Tell them that in the future, the king can only be the emperor. The Imperial Royalty does not send a prince to serve exclusively as the king of these two countries. Of course, they can also refuse. But what that means, they should be clear. ”

Qin Tian knew that if his heir was to serve as the king of Finland and Ukraine, then once one or two generations passed, the two sides would also be divided. In this way, Finland and Ukraine will be able to take the opportunity to break away from German influence and truly achieve independence. The countries of Europe are fighting each other endlessly. However, the royal families of various countries are often related by blood. But even so, everyone is fighting with blood. In order to avoid this from happening, Qin Tiancai did not agree to the demands of the Finns and Ukrainians. As long as the kings of both countries are always the emperors, then the two countries will inevitably be affected by the empire.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I see. I will say no to the Ukrainians on Finn Day. Believe, they don't have the guts to refuse. Prime Minister Billo said.

Qin Tian nodded, he also believed that Biluo would handle these people very well.

"Although we have promised that the affairs of the two countries will be handled by themselves. However, both governments are still in the process of being formed. There are many places that need the guidance of the Empire. The government should send a certain number of officials to guide them! I have only one request, and that is that the policies to be implemented in both countries must be beneficial to the broad masses of the people. Abolish those harsh taxes and make people's lives better and better. The empire should also make them feel tangible benefits in its trade with the two countries. In this way, the people of both countries will be grateful to the empire. The empire was able to truly harness the power of these two countries. Perhaps, many years later, when the people of the two countries fully identify with the empire, they will take the initiative to join the empire! Qin Tian said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will arrange for someone to do it." Prime Minister Bilo nodded. He knew what Qin Tian meant, that is, to win the hearts and minds of the people in these two countries. After gaining the approval of the people of both countries, everything will fall into place.

In Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, in a small town called Irpin not far from here, Ukrainians are celebrating the blockade. The heavy ears of wheat have been threshed and are being dried. After drying, it can be stored in the warehouse.

Almost every Ukrainian has a smile of joy and happiness on his face.

As Russia's main granary, Ukraine's grain plays a pivotal role for Russia. However, it is a pity that Ukraine has provided Russia with a large amount of food, but the vast majority of Ukrainians cannot even fill their own stomachs. Many people even have to rely on wild vegetables to survive when they are not harvested, and there are not a few people who starve to death every year.

This is despite the fact that Ukrainians are the second largest ethnic group in Russia. However, they had little place in Russia. All this time, they have been oppressed and exploited by the Russians. Most of the grain they harvest each year has to be handed over to the Russian government, and they can only keep a small part of it.

In order to be able to change their fate, the Ukrainians also resisted. However, after the fierce Cossack cavalry cut off the heads of all the Ukrainians who dared to resist with their sabers, the remaining Ukrainians were honest and could only be honestly exploited by the government, and the only thing they could hope for was to go to heaven after death. Of course, no one knows if there is a heaven or not, and no one has ever really seen that thing. This is just a tactic used by the rulers to fool the people, just as the Chinese believe in an afterlife.

But now, the lives of Ukrainians have changed dramatically. Those fierce Russian tax officials, have left. In their place were the Ukrainian government's own tax officers. The new taxes are also very low. Compared to when the Russians asked them to hand over most of their grain to the government, the new tax was only a fraction of the grain they grow. Most of the food belongs to them. This makes these Ukrainians even more motivated.

"God forbid, the brutal tsar has finally been overthrown. From today, a happy life for Ukrainians is coming! An old man with a white beard looked at the wheat that was drying in his house, and his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"Uncle Kalsi, is there anything pleasing to me? Laughing so happily? A middle-aged man passing by asked.

"Is there anything more joyful than a good harvest at home? This year, I finally don't have to go hungry. Old man Kalsi said.

"Yes! This year's taxes are also very low, so I finally don't have to look for wild vegetables to eat. Uncle, I heard that soon His Majesty the German Emperor will be our king at the same time. Ukraine has not had its own state for many years. The middle-aged man said.

"No matter who will be the king of Ukraine, as long as he can feed the people and not starve to death, my old man will support him and love him!" Old man Kalsi said.

Indeed, the people have become simple. This is especially true for these farmers who work with the fields. As long as they can have a bite to eat and be able to fill their stomachs, they will be content with the status quo and will be grateful.

Whoever becomes their king, as long as they can do this, they will be able to win the love of the people.

The same situation is playing out throughout Ukraine. The Ukrainian people, who are used to being exploited, are very satisfied with their current life. Although everyone is still very poor, they already have hope for their future life. They believe that life will get better and better in the future. Under these circumstances, there was hardly any opposition to the German Emperor taking over the throne of their king. Even because they were able to live a happy life, everyone loved His Majesty the King in Berlin very much. If someone wants to take away their current life, they will definitely fight to the death.
