time and time again.
I ordered him to increase taxes
to make the Thai people more productive.
But look at this.
That is his response.
"I understand that your lordship
has never visited the Thai region"
"So you may be under the impression
that the Thai climate
is more fruitful
than our own Han climate."
"But, in fact,
Thai and Han are under the same sky."
"Our rainy seasons are the same."
"Since the amount of rain cannot
be increased, neither can the harvest."
"The taxes are already paid for
with much sweat."
"Don't make them pay in tears as well."
He's so sympathetic,
it's almost as if his own mother was Thai.
A hopeless leader!
He thinks that the Thais are doing
some kindness by giving us their land,
when in fact the Han soldiers
bought it with their own blood.
We purchased it with blood,
and we shall rule with blood
Correct, my son.
Any ruler who does not know
how to use his sword
doesn't deserve to be called a ruler.
Emperor Qin has issued orders
to remove Tiewliang from office
and to return him to Loyang.
He faces charges of corruption
and embezzlement of Ler taxes.
Silence! I said silence.
Don't!
I bear the gold seal of Emperor Qin
and the jade seal of Lord Liboon.
Why do you still not kneel?
Soldiers! Take him away.
Tiewliang... Tiewliang is our protector.
Yes, Tiewliang is our protector.
Quiet! Tiewliang shall protect you
no longer.
He will be sent to work on a farm.
Or would you rather clean the city wall,
Tiewliang?
You will meet your new chief.
His name is Litongjia. Welcome him!
to replace Tiewliang as head of Ler City.
From now on,
any laws made by Tiewliang are revoked
any laws made by Tiewliang are revoked.
And from now on,
Thai taxes will be raised
to three times the previous amount.
There will also be an increase in taxes
on horse-drawn carriages, on boats
and on horses by 50 per cent.
More. More. Great! I want more!
If you don't keep quiet,
I can raise taxes even higher.
From now on,
whenever Thai people meet me or my wife,
Lady Huansi, they must get on their knees
and put their foreheads to the ground
three times.
Thais are forbidden
to have any relations with Han.
Thais are forbidden
to have any relations with Han
You will not be friends.
You will not be husbands.
You will not be wives to any Han
If anyone chooses to disobey my command,
they will be punished in ways
they could not even imagine
they will be punished in way
they could not even imagine.
Will you make me some clothes
with your own special threads?
But Han cloth is so much finer.
I can't see any difference between Thai and
Han. We are all people, just the same.
