Prince Desun cast a sideways glance at his old rival and sneered coldly, "Since our ancestor Emperor Ziwei Xuandu founded Daqian, the principle has been shared governance between the Imperial Family and Noble Family.

In Daqian, all farmlands and industries must pay taxes according to regulations.
The Imperial Family has numerous Prince's Mansions, each one a massive entity with vast estates and various industries under its name.
