Ministers scorned the inadequate tributes from Tu'an and Goguryeo, dismissing the small nations as insignificant. Ying Zheng demanded over seventy percent of their national taxes for any vassalage consideration. He rewarded key officials for implementing the four national policies with 5000 Contribution Points, martial cultivation methods, foundation pills, and Tianxuan Mirror cultivation space access. Zhao Feng explained Contribution Points as Qin's emerging currency for cultivation and exchanges. Lv Buwei proposed a special authority to manage these points and treasury exchanges.

Right at this instant.

Ying Zheng smiled: "Zhong Fu."

"The Crown Prince has long plotted this, and the power division is now taking shape. It will manage contribution point exchanges everywhere in the world and all connected affairs going forward."

"Furthermore."

"Qin shall keep advancing the Tian Xuan Mirror."

"For now, only court ministers and officials above prefectural governors in the Thirty-Six Prefectures hold the Tianxuan Sub-Mirror."

"Yet from today onward."

"Promotion will spread across the whole Qin territory."

"Every Qin official, capital-based or provincial, irrespective of rank, will receive the Tianxuan Sub-Mirror."

"Even a lowly village chief shall get one," Ying Zheng declared with booming authority.

This directive.

Centers on Qin harnessing the Tian Xuan Mirror completely to rule the realm.

"Your Majesty is wise, the Crown Prince is wise."

"When all Qin officials wield the Tian Xuan Mirror, Great Qin's control faces no barriers."

"Six States holdouts will barely find spots to conceal themselves." Wang Jian proclaimed loudly, excitement blazing on his face.

In Qin's lands.

Even village chiefs gain the Tianxuan Sub-Mirror.

This ensures smooth information flow.

A shady stranger spotted can be reported instantly to the county head, summoning county guards.

Through this.

Daqin World turns into a tight-knit empire orbiting Xianyang.

Ying Zheng and Zhao Feng dwell in Xianyang, dominating the world.

This!

Forms the core reason for pushing the Tian Xuan Mirror.

"Deployment in offices marks only the initial phase."

"The ultimate goal spreads it across all Qin, turning the Tian Xuan Mirror into identity proof for Qin people." Zhao Feng smiled, eyeing the court ministers gathered.

"The Crown Prince is wise."

"With Tian Xuan Mirror as ID, Qin folks claim it via birthplace or official household records."

"Henceforth, city access demands a Tian Xuan Mirror. Absent that identity, suspect as mountain bandit, Six States remnant, or foreign infiltrator."

"Thereby, Qin masters Shenzhou utterly, chaos eradicated." Han Fei voiced in awe.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"The Crown Prince is wise."

The assembled civil and military officials cried out together.

"Minister Wang."

"What of military affairs?" Zhao Feng questioned, gaze fixed on Wang Jian.

"Reporting to the Crown Prince."

"Five Camps have adopted the Tian Xuan Mirror fully, Crown Prince's gifted basic Martial Arts Skill distributed to crack troops. Now the army trains in combat skills universally, strength exploding upward." Wang Jian responded right away, tone brimming with thrill.

"Hmm."

Zhao Feng nodded before turning to Li Si: "How go the Academic Palaces?"

"Reporting to the Crown Prince."

"State Academies throughout Jiuzhou construct steadily, draining the national coffers heavily."

"After half a year, County School Palaces finish up, set to enroll Qin's youths for learning by sacred decree of Your Majesty and Crown Prince." Li Si answered promptly.

"How are the Hundred Schools of thought accommodated?" Zhao Feng inquired next.

Since issuing the recruitment edict back then.

Countless Hundred Schools scholars from every corner converged on Xianyang chasing chances.

Concerning such prodigies.

Li Si handled initial selection at first, with Zhao Feng overseeing personally afterward.

Whenever a Hundred Schools figure showed real ability, Zhao Feng put them to work.

In truth, his vision was Daqin's vibrant era of hundred schools clashing, rejecting any lone school's supremacy.

Certainly.

Upon starting Hundred Schools integration, Zhao Feng called Chunyu Yue for a private audience.

No special cause.

Confucianism might carry flaws in eras to come, yet now its values like ruler loyalty proved invaluable.

Such ideals matched exactly what Zhao Feng sought.

Ostensibly created to educate and enlighten the masses, the academies were truly meant to nurture an endless supply of talents for Qin, grounded in unwavering loyalty to the state—a truly commendable trait of Confucianism.

Thanks to Zhao Feng's careful planning.

With Chunyu Yue's skillful coordination, Confucian scholars were assembled and dispatched to numerous Academic Palaces, beginning at the County School Palace level, where they focused on teaching one vital core lesson: loyalty to the sovereign.

To secure prosperity for Confucianism, Chunyu Yue firmly linked its destiny to imperial authority, merging Confucian ideals with sovereign loyalty and instructing students nationwide in devotion to the ruler.

Zhang Liang's secretive musings rang true.

Beyond grooming talents for Qin, the Academic Palaces held the essential role of enlightening people from other nations.

In just a few years.

Once Daqin's national policies are fully enacted alongside the Academic Palaces' widespread enlightenment.

Citizens from various states will cease longing for their old homelands and fully transform into loyal Daqin subjects.

At its heart, this was a bold, open strategy.

An inescapable open strategy.

Hidden survivors of the Six States could only watch powerlessly, devoid of any countermeasures.

One could even declare.

That they behold their dreams slowly dissolving, fated to crumble into the forgotten ashes of history, completely erased.

"Rest assured, Crown Prince."

"Talents from the Hundred Schools have been placed throughout Jiuzhou."

"Confucianism holds teaching positions in county, prefecture, and state Academic Palaces, while other Hundred Schools occupy prefecture and state levels."

"Students starting at the County School Palace can advance to the Prefectural City School Palace to select their preferred school of study." Li Si reported at once.

"Now that every County School Palace stands fully built."

"Then, proclaim the decree."

"Across Daqin's Nine Provinces and Thirty-Six Counties, children of school age may seek entry to Academic Palaces for literacy education."

"Additionally."

"Though the County School Palace spans two years, exceptional students can face early evaluation after one year and, if successful, advance to the Prefectural City School Palace for advanced learning." Zhao Feng considered briefly before declaring.

Since Prefectural City and State Mansion Academies remain unoccupied, students must enter in stages.

"The Crown Prince is wise!" Civil and military officials acclaimed together.

"Academic Palaces are now fully arranged."

"The four national policies proceed smoothly."

"Next."

"I shall enact a new national policy across our Qin realm."

"Any who resist—execute without mercy!"

Zhao Feng's face turned profoundly grave.
