Thunderbolt: I Became the Human Emperor in the Bitter Realm

The three religions bowed their heads, and all the people submitted.

The next period of governance is about to begin.

Chen Yu took charge of the overall situation, allowing the people to rest and recuperate.

Meanwhile, some martial artists were assigned to assist in the digging of the canal, while the common people did the rest of the work, and everyone received wages, making them all very happy.

With the opening of trade, merchants flocked to the area, and a prosperous scene began to emerge.

The troops stationed on all four sides were all shrewd individuals, and naturally understood the intention behind it, so there was no need for further explanation.

Protecting the territory and ensuring the safety of the people is the key point and the most important part.

The changes we see today are obvious and perfectly reasonable.

Despite numerous variables, everything is clear; true strength is the same for everyone.

Rules are rules, there's no need for speculation, just do them conscientiously.

Although Chen Yu can only cultivate on his own now, it is still worthwhile. In any case, there are no major events in the Central Plains of the Bitter Realm right now, and there is no need for fighting. Under his destiny, the three religions are silently shouldering their responsibilities, so there is no need to refute them.

Perhaps it was the fate of the newcomers, or perhaps it was the different outcomes that led to this. All these memories seem indescribable, and their true value is hard to define.

When everyone does their job, good fortune will naturally follow.

The people gradually began to live a life free from strife and no longer had to live in constant fear.

As a result, roads were built one after another, connecting villages and towns, making it easier for people to communicate and do business. This is a good example.

Officials were connected through selection and examination, and were mainly drawn from among scholars.

0 ...... ....

Of course, there are also some people from the other two religions, but they are few in number.

Chen Yu knew that a single page seemed to be insufficient. Governing a country still required scholars. Those who lacked knowledge were in dire need of advice and suggestions.

So no matter how naturally gifted one is, knowledge is necessary and can be the starting point for changing many destinies; the purpose of everything is that simple.

Therefore, Chen Yu ordered the establishment of schools in various places so that the children of many people could learn.

Only when children complete their studies can they make progress and learn even more.

Of course, the three religions can also select talents from among them, which is fine. They can all act according to their own ideas, which is also acceptable.

Of course, you can't force them; you can only do what you want.

The three religions also actively explained their respective advantages, leading to constant competition.

Every year when the school graduates, it is the most lively time for the three religions, who send out many people to select talents, naturally competing for talent.

This scene can be seen in various places, and there are also different factions and competitions among the three religions.

This makes things even more complicated.

Chen Yu no longer cared. He would accept those who were willing to join the dynasty, and it didn't matter if they weren't.

The current Bitter Realm is very peaceful, free from strife, and with armies from all directions protecting the land and its people, it is naturally very safe and exciting. This is their thought, and it is something to look forward to.

Regardless, his mission has only just begun, and the idea that he can reverse it is ignorant.

Otherwise, they would have started exerting force long ago.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Foreign Barbarian Provocation and the First Expedition

"Look, the country is truly peaceful and prosperous."

"Indeed, there's a peaceful atmosphere everywhere, it's really nice."

"But some people are taking a chance, which is really foolish."

Under the watchful eyes of many experts, all parties worked together, unaware of their current predicament.

If they want to last, they need to have enough ability; otherwise, everything is a sham, and the consequences will be obvious.

True strength is evident, and ultimately, it represents a glimmer of hope; everything is so straightforward.

The purpose is self-evident; as long as one understands it, everything is worthwhile.

Chen Yu didn't just stay in the palace all the time; he also led people to patrol around.

Of course, they were in plain clothes and frequently visited small villages and similar places. These were places where government orders were rarely received or where delays were common, so they naturally needed to be on guard.

"Gentlemen, how is it? What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, this region is indeed excellent. The people live in peace and prosperity, the world is at peace, and even natural disasters are rare."

"Indeed, the eyes of every ordinary person were filled with expectation, which was truly delightful."

"Haha, that's good, that's good. It means our policies are correct and can better stabilize the region."

Chen Yu was also very happy, which is understandable, as he naturally hoped for peace.

However, things are unpredictable, and there are some places that are not yet connected to the outside world, so further investigation is needed.

If the Central Plains were in such a state of hardship, then when it became prosperous, it would make the surrounding barbarian tribes drool with envy.

Doing business is acceptable, but some outsiders still can't resist using illegitimate means to profit.

"Report from Xiyue City: A caravan from the Central Plains has been massacred about 20 miles outside Xiyue City."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu's smile vanished instantly.

The people around us are the same.

"Your Majesty, this is their provocation, time and time again. We cannot give in any longer."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is merciful, giving them a chance to admit their mistakes and unwilling to cause widespread suffering. But these foreigners are all greedy and insatiable, and they must be taught a lesson."

"Please give the order, Your Majesty."

"Please give the order, Your Majesty."

The ministers were all furious, but they remained focused on the Central Plains and showed no intention of sending troops.

But these barbarians were so arrogant that they were absolutely furious.

"I remember that Xiyue City is a place guarded by the Buddhist sect. I have ordered the Buddhist sect to send troops to suppress the harm caused by the foreign tribes."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Soon the Buddhist sect received Chen Yu's imperial decree and dared not delay.

If such a cholera outbreak were to occur in their own territory, and they were not handled properly, they would be ridiculed by the other two factions. Would they lose face? Moreover, if they were not handled properly, the more troublesome issue would be that they would be stripped of their right to govern.

After all, it was agreed upon beforehand that if they couldn't handle it, the other two religions might have to step in, which would weaken their power and strengthen the power of the other two factions.

The benefits of guarding the area were obvious. As long as they did not conflict with the imperial decrees and did not harm the people, they could obtain huge profits, and the entire Buddhist community would flourish as a result.

This is a very important development approach, and it is also a fact that we all affirm and acknowledge.

Now that this incident has occurred, everyone within the Buddhist community is furious.

"Gentlemen, the Emperor has now given the order to wipe out the barbarians and quell the chaos. If trouble arises, the consequences are something we cannot bear to see. The other two factions are also watching us closely."

"That's true. The distribution of benefits was proper at the time. If we fail to get off to a good start, the consequences will be even more troublesome. We shouldn't say anything more; everyone knows that."

Ultimately, it's about interests, and those interests are quite important.

Previously, the three factions had been engaged in fierce internal strife. It wasn't until the Emperor entered the Central Plains of the Bitter Realm that the three religions calmed down and a period of peace occurred. The effect was remarkable, with each faction improving its strength and strengthening its foundation, which was very good.

And now, barbarian invaders are provoking and massacring the people of the Central Plains, which is truly infuriating.

"Let's send troops; we can't let them underestimate us."

"Sending troops was inevitable, indescribable, and a deep-seated desire; there was no need to overthink it."

"Even so, let's discuss the strength of our respective troops. We can't be stingy. This time, we must make a name for ourselves. If we come again next time, will the Emperor think that we didn't try our best? That would be bad."

"Indeed, it absolutely must not happen..."

Soon after, the Buddhist sect of Kujing organized a group of monk soldiers to leave Xiyue City and head towards the outer barbarians.

The imperial army also accompanied them, consisting of soldiers from various regions assembled by the people of the Bitter Realm; after all, it's impossible that they were only composed of experts.

His journey westward to war was destined, and his death on the battlefield was inevitable.

This external conquest was also a test for the newly established dynasty.

At this moment, unrest also began to break out in the southern border region.

The Taoist sect was also surprised, not expecting it to be so wonderful; it was indeed quite remarkable.

After Chen Yu learned about it, he simply watched quietly. These places were all suppressed by a major sect, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

With a group of experts and the imperial army, it can be said that they are absolutely confident.

Don't forget, this is the era of the Central Plains Emperor, when fortune is at its peak and everything goes smoothly.

Chen Yu had this idea, and of course he wouldn't say anything. Everyone has their own abilities, so he was naturally quite looking forward to it.

The Central Plains remained peaceful, with little impact.

However, foreign trade was affected because everyone was at war with other countries at the moment, except for the east and north.
