General Jin Feng plots to kidnap the princess during her marriage procession to Qin, intending to ambush the Qin escort. Meanwhile, Qin's general Han Xin arrives to receive the bride, and the handover of the princess and her dowry proceeds smoothly.

Inside the carriage.

A stunning woman in her twenties sits gracefully inside.

Beside her are two maids.

She is dressed in a Tu An wedding outfit, exuding a foreign charm. It must be said, she is indeed exceptionally beautiful.

"I wonder what kind of person the Crown Prince of Great Qin truly is?" Yu Shu thought silently, filled with anxiety about the future.

A thousand Qin Cavalry guards are escorting her, slowly heading towards the Qin border.

"General."

"Why do I feel like there's a pervasive sense of danger here?"

As they reached a perilous forest.

A trusted aide spoke.

"This place is indeed an excellent ambush site."

"Moreover..."

Han Xin glanced around and then smirked coldly: "There's already an ambush set up."

With Han Xin's level of cultivation as a Grandmaster, how could he not sense the pervasive killing intent within this valley?

"Who dares be so bold?"

"To ambush our army?" The trusted aide said with surprise.

"This might be a great opportunity."

Han Xin pondered with a thoughtful expression.

"What opportunity?" The trusted aide asked in confusion.

"The opportunity for Qin to destroy Tu An."

Han Xin sneered.

He already had a plan in mind.

Then.

He waved his hand: "Halt the troops."

With a command.

The Elite Soldiers ceased their march,

"Bows and arrows." Han Xin ordered in a low voice.

The Elite Soldiers quickly raised their bows and arrows.

"Forty zhang ahead, shoot rain of arrows to the left and right." Han Xin shouted.

"Wind, wind, wind."

Although there were only a thousand Elite Soldiers, the sound of the wind command resonated through the Heavenly Vault.

As the sound of the wind command fell.

Arrows rained down from the sky.

All thousand Elite Soldiers responded, shooting a rain of arrows into the forest ahead.

The sudden murderous intent shocked all those hiding in ambush.

Many were not quick enough to evade and were killed by the hail of arrows.

"The Qin Army has discovered us."

"There's no need to hide any longer."

"Kill."

In the shadows.

Numerous dead soldiers shouted.

But their accents were not of the Huaxia People from Shenzhou, but rather of those from Tu An.

"Just as expected."

"The people of Tu An are untrustworthy."

Upon hearing the accents coming from the forest, Han Xin sneered.

Then.

Masked dead soldiers in black clothing charged toward the Qin Army.

Vast and mighty.

Filled with murderous intent.

Their numbers were no less than three thousand.

And countless arrows shot toward the Qin Army's convoy.

"Defense." Han Xin commanded coldly.

The Elite Soldiers defended while shooting arrows.

The arrow rain that came couldn't break through the Elite Soldiers' defense.

"The entire army of Qin is proficient in Martial Arts. These mere Foreign Tribes are seeking death."

Seeing the rushing dead soldiers, Han Xin just laughed.

...

Xianyang!

Jiuzhou!

Thirty-Six Prefectures!

Holy Decree arrives, proclaim the world!

"Holy Decree arrives, all people listen to the edict!"

"As decreed by His Majesty and the Crown Prince five months ago."

"Acquire the lands of the world, grant them to all people! Let everyone have land to farm, everyone have food to eat!"

"Now."

"The acquisition of land is complete, all lands within the Great Qin Territory have been nationalized."

"This is to be celebrated, to be a joy for Qin."

"Thus."

"Today's Holy Decree is His Majesty and the Crown Prince fulfilling the promise made five months ago, allowing all citizens of Qin to have land to farm."

"All citizens of Qin, the local government offices shall prioritize household registration in allocating land: those with male members shall receive two mu of land, those with female members shall receive one mu of land! Each household shall receive up to six mu of land! Those who have served Qin and were injured for the country shall, in addition to Qin's care, receive five extra mu of land..."

"Furthermore."

"Land belongs to the Great Qin, after allocation, the government offices will record it, after acquiring land the people are only allowed to farm it, not allowed to privately sell or trade it, if discovered, the land will be reclaimed and not redistributed."

"The Great Qin Territory is vast, with many uncultivated lands yet to be opened, now the Holy Decree orders anyone who independently develops uncultivated land into good farmland, after registering, shall keep the cultivated land under their planting for twenty years! After twenty years, it will be redistributed!"

...

As the five-day period ends.

Within the Great Qin Territory, State capitals, Prefecture cities, county towns, all have officials reading the Holy Decree.

The benevolence of the Imperial Edict is known to all.

The entirety of Qin is currently in a state of jubilant uproar.

"Magnificent."

"My household has three sons, and we are set to receive six mu of land. Six mu! That's ample for us to cultivate effectively. Even after fulfilling our tax obligations, we won't face any concerns about sustenance."

"His Majesty's supreme virtue, the Crown Prince's supreme virtue."

"My family has three daughters. I never imagined His Majesty and the Crown Prince would show such consideration for the populace, not exclusively benefiting the male members. Even with daughters, our family receives land! It's truly splendid. The court's grace, His Majesty and the Crown Prince's reign shall be eternal. I am content to be a citizen of Qin forever."

"The grace of Qin, His Majesty's grace, the Crown Prince's grace."

"What was the previous court like? I once possessed five mu of fine land, all unjustly seized by the nobles, with the government turning a blind eye. Now that Qin has risen, bestowing land upon us commoners, this is the kind of administration we truly need. I pledge my unwavering loyalty to Qin. Anyone who dares to speak ill of His Majesty, the Crown Prince, or Qin will face my wrath."

"Precisely."

"The Qin court belongs to us, a court that showers blessings upon its people. The preceding administration was utterly worthless, only catering to the aristocracy and disregarding us common folk. The stark contrast illuminates the profound grace of Qin."

"Long live Qin, long live His Majesty, long live the Crown Prince... My family now has land to cultivate, land that is rightfully ours..."

Across all of Qin, an innumerable multitude of citizens are swept up in fervent excitement, their cheers and rejoicings resonating with boundless joy and elation.

This day.

Is irrevocably destined to be a moment of immense happiness for every soul within Qin.

The Great Qin Territory is expansive, encompassing over eighty million inhabitants, spread far and wide across the land. Yet, at this precise moment, they are united by a shared sentiment: unwavering loyalty to Qin, their voices raised in acclamation for Qin, casting aside any nostalgia for the previous administration, unburdened by attachment to the former regime.
