Qi Prince held great expectations for Wanchang City, believing that with its strategic location in Dichang Valley, which allowed for both offense and defense, securing Wanchang City meant that the North Country's army could no longer continue marching south.
Yet, in such a short time, Wanchang City had fallen to the North Country's army.
Moreover, after capturing Wanchang City, the North Country's army immediately appointed a new Prefecture Governor and began to reform the land policy, transferring all land ownership rights to the North Prince and drastically exempting taxes, implementing a rate of one in a hundred.
Qi Prince could not fathom how the North Prince had the audacity, not only to eliminate other agricultural taxes but to also implement a tax rate of one in a hundred. If it came down to it, even if he recaptured the territory, the local people might not support him as the Qi Prince anymore.
Had his grandnephew lost his mind?
