In the basement of the Night bookstore, Qiuchen leaned back on the couch and yawned. The fire that rises in the fireplace dispels the cold and damp smell of the room. At this time, the room was not evenly crowded, only Leonay, Ciel, Tazmi, and Red Hitomi. Lubbo left immediately after determining the bookstore. However, the rest of the people were not dissatisfied with Qiuchen bringing one more person to the secret base for night raids. After all, in two days, they won't need to hide in the shadows

Qiu Chen swept over the few people present, wanting to ask where the others were. But after scanning around, he found that only the red pupil who was holding the meat steak with both hands seemed to be able to talk to him. There is no need to mention the dozing Hill, what can be asked from her mouth is better than hoping that Yuyuko suddenly does not want to eat food, Leonay and Tazmi are happy to hit the little emperor's three views, although they themselves do not have this self-awareness

It takes more than ten years, decades, and even some people fail to succeed in their lifetime. But to destroy it, days, hours, or even minutes are enough. The fastest Qiu Chen has ever seen is Narayana, and he only needs one sentence

Qing ...... Phew, Mu Continent is dead

Just seeing that the little emperor had maintained an unbelievable look that had remained unchanged all night, Qiu Chen was a little worried about whether he shouldn't bring him here. Sudden overstimulation is likely to cause the opposite effect. Narayana is a primordial god, and his endurance is not comparable to that of the little emperor, I heard that the guy is now integrating well in the present world, and he is not at all worried about Gaia's unfamiliarity with the place of life and the fact that he is not used to the situation of the accident caused by the poor identity

I just hope that nothing will happen to the little emperor...... I always felt good about myself and thought I was a Ming Jun, but when I looked at it, I found that I was actually a typical faint king......

Waking up suddenly from a deep slumber can lead to heart disease

"Hey, Red Hitomi," Chi Hitomi, who was immersed in the barbecue, raised his head, glanced at Qiu Chen lightly, and then lowered his head to focus on solving the meat chop in front of him, which was used to it, Qiu Chen continued indifferently, "Where did you go before, I was waiting for you outside for a while." Brand Where are they? Don't tell me you really plan to do it tonight, come back tonight just to have a good meal"

"Brand and they went to the undercover connection with Uptown, too many people will attract unnecessary attention, so we will wait here for news" Red Pupil said concisely, his eyes kept staring at the large piece of barbecue in his hand "It is a good thing to have food, there is no difference between eating a good meal or eating a bad meal, it is a shame to waste food"

The red pupil said, and finally suddenly raised his head, and looked at Qiu Chen with a serious face, "Because of waste, one person will use up the food of two people, because using one more piece of food will cause a person who should be alive to starve to death, do you understand?" This indirect killing of another person is a crime"

"Uh-uh, I know I know" Looking directly into the eyes of the red pupil, Qiu Chen felt that if he dared to say that there would be leftovers for dinner, maybe his face would have a close contact with Murayu the next moment, "Don't worry, we never waste food when we have something, really"

didn't pay attention to the extra words in Qiu Chen's words, and the red pupil gave a thumbs up, "Very good, I hope what you said is true"

"Of course," Qiu Chen smiled confidently. When something happens, you will become an undead, and you don't need to eat at all, and you won't have anything to eat, let alone waste food. But as soon as Qiuchen finished speaking, he was interrupted by the voice of the little emperor on the other side

"Why, why can't anyone eat food," the little emperor poked his head across the sofa, "I listen...... Someone once told me that the empire has a good harvest every year, and apart from the turmoil caused by rebels and foreign invasions, there have been no natural disasters for several years, so how can there be no food to eat."

"But every year the empire collects half of the tax on food crops" Before Qiuchen could respond, Tazmi's voice followed, "Whatever you do, you have to take out half of it and hand it over to the state, how can there be food with such a heavy tax, and every winter there will be people in the villages who starve to death and freeze to death!" ”

"But...... The expropriation of food was also to ensure that the imperial soldiers who fought against foreign peoples on the border would be able to fight the enemy without starving," the little emperor argued, "and... Isn't there still half of the grain, the grain that the empire has sent to the frontier for many years is not enough, even if it is half, the tax collectors have not collected nearly half of the grain at all."

"In the autumn, the harvest will be levied once for the imperial capital," Tazmi said, "In winter, half of the grain will be levied for the soldiers in the north, half will be levied for the navy stationed on the island in the east, and in the summer, it will be levied for the safety of the soldiers in the south to make insect protection, and each household will have a gold coin, and if there is no money, half of the grain will be used for taxes, and the seeds used in sowing will be removed, and finally there will be less than one of the eight things left every year!" Sometimes the local guards will send soldiers to collect materials! Not only that, but in order to transport food to the army at the front, one person from every ten families in the village had to be sent to serve as a conscript, and sometimes there was no one in the village who could cultivate it in the spring! ”

"This ......" the little emperor was forced to take a step back by the attitude of the Tazmi atmosphere, and he subconsciously looked at the familiar Qiuchen around him, "The empire, the empire deals with the surrounding foreign nations in order to protect the citizens from being killed by them, and the empire is also forced to ......"

That was said, but the little emperor was clearly not in a sufficient tone

"If the empire is forced to fight back because of the invasion, there is nothing to say about the defeat of the alien nation," Ma Yin, who had been sitting quietly on the other side of the fireplace, said coldly, "In recent years, which war between the alien nation and the empire was not provoked by the various bandit-like acts of the empire?" If the Empire were willing to treat the aliens as a human being, rather than treating them as inferior animals, who would be willing to risk their death against the Empire! ”

"But I ...... This imperial capital is obviously so good...... "The little emperor clenched his fists with both hands and lowered his head, "As long as everyone is allowed to live in the imperial capital, it will be fine, the population of the imperial capital is large, and there must be suitable jobs......"

"And then they were trafficked. The drug gang abducted and sold it to Flower Street, and threw it away as garbage after being played bad? Leonay punched his fists against each other and grinned, "If you want me to say, I'm not treated like garbage, I'm the one who cleans up the garbage!" ”

"How could it be ......," the little emperor asked Qiuchen for some reason, "Empire...... Is that really the case, I... Did the emperor do something wrong...... I've been told that the empire is right......"

Qiu Chen sighed and pressed the little emperor's shoulder with one hand, "Think about it, in the past few years, has everyone been telling you that what the empire has done is right, has no one ever told you that some of the empire's policies are wrong?" ”

The little emperor was silent

"Someone closed the curtains, and then told you that it's night, it's time for you to sleep" Seeing that the little emperor's eyes were a little dazed, Qiu Chen shook his shoulder, "But you never thought about it, open the curtains and take a look for yourself, what is going on outside, someone wants to wake you up by knocking on the glass, but the person who closed the curtain blocked the mouths of others, until finally, the person with a weapon and smashed the glass came"

“…… When you meet someone who smashes the glass, it's too late to wake up," the little emperor muttered to himself

"It's not too late, at least before the sledgehammer hits your head, it's not too late" Qiuchen smiled lightly, "Fortunately, you are really asleep, not pretending to be asleep." Those who are asleep can be woken up, but those who pretend to be asleep can never be woken up"
