"That's enough, that's enough. The world has only just been unified, and there's still plenty left to handle."
"First, let's develop these national policies in more detail."
"Dividing the Prefectural Cities and Jiuzhou, setting up the Academic Palace—these all demand talented individuals."
"Teachers for the Academic Palace could be drawn from Qi Land, since they cherish literature there and possess capable people."
"Yet talent remains scarce."
"Maybe it's time to call Zhong Fu out of retirement; these matters need someone decisive," Ying Zheng mused inwardly.
Back in the mansion!
"This subordinate greets the lord."
Li Mu, Han Xin, Sima Shang, and the rest bowed to Zhao Feng.
"You've come."
"Take a seat."
Zhao Feng gave a faint smile.
"Many thanks, lord." They expressed their gratitude right away.
Still,
their faces carried odd expressions.
"Speak up if there's something on your minds," Zhao Feng said irritably.
"Lord."
"I never imagined you were the First Emperor's son and have now risen as Qin's Crown Prince," Li Mu exclaimed in shock.
"That's right."
"When I first heard the news, I thought it must be fake," Sima Shang added.
"Haha."
"What you've heard is true—no need to dwell on it."
"Do you know why I summoned you?" Zhao Feng laughed.
"This subordinate has no idea," Li Mu and the others responded promptly.
"I'm now Great Qin's Crown Prince, in charge of its military and administration."
"Hide no longer; tomorrow, I'll bring you before the First Emperor so you can rejoin the forces," Zhao Feng declared.
"This subordinate obeys the command."
Excitement surged through Li Mu and Sima Shang as they bowed deeply.
"And me, lord?" Han Xin inquired eagerly.
"The same for you—you'll enlist, and I'll dispatch you to Baiyue Land to command ten thousand soldiers for now," Zhao Feng replied.
For Han Xin.
Young as he was, he proved reliable.
Baiyue Land.
Troops would march there eventually; Han Xin ought to head first for scouting.
Future moves could follow from there.
"Thank you, lord," Han Xin replied with burning zeal.
"Good."
"Go rest now, all of you."
Zhao Feng dismissed them with a wave.
"Yes."
Li Mu and the others saluted and left the hall.
Once they departed,
a smile crept onto Zhao Feng's face: "All these national policies will occupy my father for some time. Once enacted, Qin's landscape will transform dramatically."
"After the basics take hold, I can move against the noble clans of the conquered states. Their territories form the vital essence for Qin's people—I won't let them swallow them up."
Qin's growth path was already mapped out in Zhao Feng's thoughts.
Execution would proceed steadily from here.
"Two Fourth-tier Treasure Boxes."
"Open every one."
He snapped back to focus.
Zhao Feng issued the command without delay.
Earlier, one Fourth-tier Treasure Box came from slaying Hu Hai.
The other followed his lineage restoration.
Official promotions offered no further path now.
Treasure boxes grew precious, as advancements no longer yielded them.
"Open the Fourth-tier Treasure Box."
"Obtained [High-Level Spirit Vein]."
"Obtained [Fifth-Order High-Grade Array Master Inheritance]." The panel showed the messages.
"High-Level Spirit Vein, suitable for the Minor World."
"Array Master Inheritance—quite impressive," Zhao Feng reflected.
At once.
"Extract the Array Master Inheritance," Zhao Feng commanded.
Instantly.
A brilliant light enveloped him completely.
The Fifth-Order High-Grade Array Master's knowledge flooded into Zhao Feng like heavenly wisdom.
It endured for two Chinese hours.
"I already held Fourth-Grade High Level in Artifact Refining and Alchemy before."
"Arrays hold endless depths too."
"Without the treasure box's inheritance, grasping even one would prove tough, much less dominating all three."
"This works well."
"Array Masters can be trained up as well," Zhao Feng mused happily, eyes opening.
In Yanting now.
Zhao Feng had already nurtured ample alchemists and artifact refiners.
They would prove crucial in forging Martial Arts Great Qin ahead.
"Establish the Yun Dynasty."
"Preparations aren't fully ready yet."
"Only after Jiuzhou stands firm, Prefectural Cities rise, and culture merges can Qi Fortune truly converge."
"When that moment arrives."
"I shall venture past the borders of Shenzhou."
"Immortals and Gods."
"This is the true path's core."
"Shenzhou may be peaceful, yet the world outside Shenzhou is a mystery."
"Maybe it's time to dispatch explorers beyond Shenzhou."
As Zhao Feng mulled over Guiguzi's words on the Immortal Realm and the ferocious feasting, a sense of disquiet gripped him.
Shenzhou remained calm and serene.
But what chaos might lurk beyond Shenzhou's edges?
As Zhao Feng sank into thought.
"Faction Panel Transformation Complete."
"Now upgraded to [Empire Panel]."
"Host, do you wish to access it?" Notifications popped up on the panel.
"It actually succeeded?"
The message in front of him sparked excitement across Zhao Feng's features.
Before this, the faction panel covered Zhao Feng's private forces, Yanting, Immortals' Liquor House—every subordinate's loyalty was visible to him.
Because of that, no traitors slipped into Zhao Mansion or Yanting under his watch; once spotted, Zhao Feng could banish them on the spot.
"Access [Empire Panel]."
Eager beyond measure, Zhao Feng commanded.
In an instant.
What appeared before Zhao Feng's eyes.
No longer showed Yanting and Immortals' Liquor House as separate factions like before.
Instead, it spanned all official organs of the Qin Empire.
From the Left Minister's Mansion onward.
Right Minister.
Nine Ministers.
Five Senior Generals.
Every official at Army Marquis rank or higher was listed within the Empire Panel.
With this interface.
The whole Qin Empire seemed transformed into data, laid bare before Zhao Feng.
"The sub-panel has evolved to such a degree."
"All officials of the Great Qin Empire, visible at any time from now on."
"With this grip on the empire, it's not just for me—even that fool Hu Hai could have stabilized the kingdom if he'd seen loyalties clearly."
