Merchants across regions begin transferring wealth to the Dayou Country's bank, as its silver notes gain global recognition and acceptance. Many in neighboring Tu Fan, hearing of Dayou's tax-free policies and abundance of grain, desire to migrate.

Because of this, each of them at this moment is constantly hoping to reach the country of Dayou as soon as possible, after all, life there is truly compelling to them. Every day living without worries about food and clothing is what everyone desires, especially for these farmers, who can’t even get enough to eat on a daily basis.

They can’t eat enough, yet they still have to provide grain to the Emperor and pay taxes to the noble officials.

This is something they absolutely cannot tolerate seeing, but earlier there was no choice, every place was like this, making them gradually adapt. But now, upon hearing about things over there, like a flood breaking its banks, everything is suddenly overwhelming, and everyone’s heart is wondering if they can also go over there, if they can also live such a carefree life?

They are also fantasizing, if they truly no longer have to pay taxes, wouldn’t that mean that the grain from their homes would all belong to themselves?

At that time, wouldn’t they have enough grain to survive the winter without going hungry?

If this grain doesn’t have to be taxed, supporting their family is definitely not a problem, and even adding two more children would still be manageable.

This instantly intensified the desires of the common people, and for a while, beside those Merchants, many of the citizens chose to smuggle themselves, wanting to flee to the country of Dayou.

And regarding this matter, Lin Yi here also received reports from the subordinates, information indicating that many refugees from foreign lands are coming over, wanting to join the country of Dayou, and most of them are from Tubo. After all, Tubo is very close to Dayou, because of this, it was the first place to know about the culture of Dayou; they particularly yearn for the lifestyle here and want to come quickly, which makes things very easy for them to carry out practically.

Of course, regarding why they want to come here, the good policies here are one reason, but mainly it’s because they can’t afford to eat anymore, it can be said that remaining there now is like starving to death; they might as well come here and give it a shot, perhaps after arriving here they might find a glimmer of hope?

Upon learning such news, Lin Yi was also helpless, but somewhat expecting it, after all, the policies here have always been this way. He also thought about the effects such policies spreading might bring, what changes in the current world situation it might cause, but of course, all this is within his control, the reason why someone from Tubo is spreading this is also his deliberate doing.

Of course, the purpose of doing so is not only to attract them into his command, to have Tubo in his grasp, but more to allow these individuals to adapt in advance, to plant seeds in their minds ahead.

If not, even if he rashly attacks them, even if he directly takes them over, many may still retain their cultural beliefs difficult to erase and their faiths difficult to extinguish.

Just like, even if he takes them over, although on the surface they dare not say anything, covertly, who knows, they might employ some small tactics to obstruct his plans.

Once there’s disloyalty, this development...
