Remnants of fallen states gathered in secrecy, lamenting Qin's nationalization of copper and iron, which crippled their ability to forge weapons and replenish supplies. Resentful of Zhao Feng's academic palaces promoting cultural unification, they debated trading with Baiyue barbarians while Zhang Liang urged patience and concealment. Half a year later, Zhao Feng entrenched Qin's governance through the Tian Xuan Mirror network, forming a tiered pyramid of authority from Xianyang.

That's exactly how it is.

Thanks to the Tianxuan Mirror.

Governmental matters across Qin proceed without any holdups, as the nation evolves every single day.

A new era of cultural unity dawns.

Beyond the walls of Xianyang City.

A sprawling expanse secured by the Imperial Guard Army itself.

Sentries stationed every ten steps.

No outsider dares to tread inside.

"Your Majesty."

"Crown Prince."

"The Spiritual Valley Rice harvest is complete."

"Each acre yields fifty dou of Spiritual Grain, far surpassing regular rice by multiple folds."

Zheng Guo hurried over to Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng, clutching a sheaf of gleaming golden rice, his voice brimming with thrill.

At these words!

A flicker of astonishment crossed Ying Zheng's features.

"Feng’er."

"Is this the surprise you led me out of the city to witness?"

Ying Zheng took hold of the rice bundle, then faced Zhao Feng with a grin.

"Fifty dou per acre—doesn't that count as a shock?" Zhao Feng grinned back.

"A year back."

"If you'd shown me this rice then, I'd have been utterly stunned."

"Yet today, my reaction's grown a bit more subdued." Ying Zheng chuckled in response.

"Haha."

Hearing Ying Zheng's remark, Zhao Feng burst into laughter too.

Ying Zheng isn't merely boasting; the truth stands plain.

Zhao Feng has served as Crown Prince for nearly a full year.

In that span.

Qin's entire realm has surged forward at breakneck speed.

The transformations Zhao Feng unleashed upon Qin run profound.

Spiritual Valley Rice.

Producing fifty dou per acre.

Once disseminated widely, famine will vanish from Qin forever, letting the populace truly sense Qin's superiority over their old homelands.

After all, folks in this age crave only one thing—survival.

And that's precisely what Qin delivers.

"When will you roll out this Spiritual Valley Rice across the realm?" Ying Zheng inquired.

"Its bumper yield poses a threat; if it leaks beyond Shenzhou, disaster strikes Qin."

"I plan to bind this Spiritual Valley Rice tightly, ensuring it thrives only within Qin's borders." Zhao Feng laughed lightly.

With memories of two lifetimes.

Zhao Feng grasps well the wisdom: 'Hearts of outsiders differ from ours.'

This rice's output bolsters Qin's might immensely, banishing hunger for good. But should Foreign Tribes claim it, woe betides Qin.

"Can that truly be done?" Ying Zheng queried, eyes widening.

"Father."

"The way of Qi Fortune holds boundless depths."

"Enforcing state policies gathers Qi Fortune too, paving the path to forge the Yun Dynasty, fostering cultural bonds, deepening loyalty to Qin, and thus elevating Qi Fortune." Zhao Feng elucidated with a grin.

"I may not grasp your words fully, but as ever, proceed boldly."

"Should the heavens crumble, your father shall prop them up." Ying Zheng declared firmly.

"Rest easy."

"The heavens remain firm." Zhao Feng assured with a smile.

Right then!

From afar.

A line of carriages rolled up one after another.

"Your Majesty."

"Crown Prince."

Lv Buwei stepped down from his carriage, vigor and joy radiating from him.

Han Fei and Li Si trailed in his wake.

Evidently, momentous news had arrived.

"Zhong Fu, what's the urgent matter?"

"That pulls you from the capital in person?"

"For pressing issues, the Tianxuan Mirror suffices for reports." Ying Zheng chuckled.

"Your Majesty."

"Crown Prince."

"Fresh dispatches from the State Governors."

"After a mere eight months."

"Qin's four great national policies stand fully enacted."

Lv Buwei let out a hearty laugh.

"All policies in place within a year?" Ying Zheng echoed, brows lifting in mild shock.

Initial projections.

Demanded two or three years at minimum for those four policies.

Given their sweep across the vast world.

"Your Majesty."

"The Crown Prince's Immortal Magical Treasure made this haste possible."

"Through the Tianxuan Mirror, no distance hinders Qin; border tidings flash straight to Xianyang, accelerating every decision." Lv Buwei beamed.

"Your Majesty, Crown Prince."

"Script unification is now achieved."

"Official writs, proclamations, and ledgers throughout Qin Territory now employ solely the new Qin script." Han Fei added swiftly.

"Imperial highways planned and repaired, all regions cooperating fully to standardize cart tracks." Li Si reported right away.

"Unification of measurements and standards—all accomplished."

"The four policies suggested by the Crown Prince are now fully rolled out across Qin's domain."

"Policies finished." Han Fei and Li Si declared together once more.

"Congratulations, Host, for joining in finishing this historic shift—national power now at level 2, granting a Fifth-tier Treasure Box." The interface notified abruptly just then.

"Cultural unity, national strength boosted."

"Never thought it'd wrap up in under a year."

"Fifth-tier Treasure Box."

"Excellent."

A rush of delight flooded Zhao Feng's heart in that instant.

He had proposed those policies himself, guiding everyone who carried them out.

One could say.

Qin's current overhaul was masterminded completely by Zhao Feng.

Such a sensation deeply influenced Zhao Feng.

"Moreover."

"Envoys from Tu An and Goguryeo kingdoms passed through Hangu Pass; they'll reach the Capital tomorrow for audience." Lv Buwei chimed in at once.

"As per the Crown Prince’s orders."

"Tu An and Goguryeo brought hefty treasures and riches this time."

"Likely half their treasuries."

"Qin won’t let them squander the months they waited." Han Fei remarked with a faint grin.

Ying Zheng stayed composed and declared: "Tu An and Goguryeo are just minor states; Qin's priority now lies in gaining the people's full loyalty. After total unification and genuine cultural fusion with devoted citizens, conquering these petty nations will be effortless."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Lv Buwei and the rest bowed promptly.

"Feng’er."

"Four policies in place—what’s your next move?" Ying Zheng turned to Zhao Feng.

Hearing that!

Zhao Feng grinned, eyes gleaming deeply: "Father Emperor, you’ll find out at tomorrow’s court session."
