Through Old Man Qi's words, Lin Qian understood why the common folk of the Qin Dynasty looked the way they did on the road.
Completely because the Qin Dynasty treated the searched-for commoners like livestock, utterly disregarding their lives or hardships.
Like Old Man Qi's son, although he was already thirty years old and his realm was only that of the Ninth Level of Entering Yuan, his talent was simply abysmal, yet he was still capable of hunting some low-level Soul Beasts, peddling their hides for a living.
But the taxes of the Qin Dynasty were extremely heavy, with ordinary citizens having to hand over eighty percent of their income to the dynasty, leaving only twenty percent for themselves.
Even having only twenty percent of income was bearable, if not for the Soul Martial Artists of the Qin Dynasty, like the city guards of Yushui City, who frequently plundered the ordinary citizens.
