Chat group: Living in a fantasy world, investing in countless realms

Three days later, Zhao Kuangyin arrived in Lin'an and captured the entire Zhao Gou lineage.

"Zhao Gou!" Zhao Kuangyin sat on the dragon throne, his gaze authoritative. "Do you know your crime?"

"I...I..." Zhao Gou trembled and knelt on the ground.

Zhao Kuangyin sneered: "Weak and incompetent, missing a golden opportunity. Guards, bring poison!"

"No, Ancestor, spare my life!"

Zhao Gou was stunned.

I never expected this ancestor who suddenly appeared to be so ruthless, offering poisoned wine right away.

"Hmph! For what you've done, a cup of poisoned wine is already an immense favor. Don't make me resort to violence, or you won't even have a complete corpse."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gou turned ashen-faced.

Numbly accepting the poisoned wine offered by the Heavenly Dragon Guard, he swallowed it with difficulty.

"Bring Qin Hui up here!"

"Your Majesty, spare my life!" Qin Hui's face changed as soon as he arrived, and he burst into tears, begging for mercy loudly.

"You colluded with the Jin Dynasty and brought disaster to our Great Song Dynasty in 640. Your crimes are unforgivable. You shall be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts. Your wife, Lady Wang, shall also be executed."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Zhao Kuangyin remained calm and unmoved.

As a seasoned general and an emperor on horseback, punishing a few people was nothing; no matter how pitifully they cried, it wouldn't change his mind.

Following the historical records, Zhao Kuangyin investigated all the civil and military officials of this period, and immediately ordered a bloodbath.

Of course, in addition to punishment, there are also benefits.

When dealing with civil and military officials, Zhao Kuangyin also directly reformed the existing tax system, reducing the burden on the people.

As soon as the decree was issued, the people sang and danced, and began to support the new regime.

Whether Zhao Kuangyin was the real Zhao Kuangyin is irrelevant.

For ordinary people, as long as they can have enough to eat, what does it matter who is the emperor?

Seven days later, Yue Fei returned to the capital in triumph, and the news of the victory, which unified the country, further boosted the prestige of the new regime.

"Yue Fei, let's make a deal. You will command the military generals in this realm, and I will appoint the civil officials. What do you say?"

"Your Majesty, please rescind your order. This humble general is only willing to be a minor general of the Great Song Dynasty and would never dare to have any improper thoughts."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded in satisfaction: "Very well, then you shall take command of the Heavenly Dragon Guard from now on. I will send someone to handle the rest."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

After signing the contract with Yue Fei, Zhao Kuangyin left satisfied.

As fellow members of the chat group, Zhao Kuangyin granted Yue Fei immense authority, so even if Yue Fei wanted to establish his own government, it wouldn't be a problem.

Unfortunately, Yue Fei had no such idea.

After accepting the mission of training a Heavenly Dragon Guard, he only went home briefly to see his elderly mother before moving into the military camp.

Chat group.

Su Xiaoxiao: "General Yue really treats fame and fortune like dirt! This is a chance to become the leader of a world, and he just gave it up!"

Hu Yifei: "That's Yue Fei! In the original history, even knowing that his fate would be bad if he went back, he still went back. If it were me, I would have rebelled long ago, crushed Zhao Jiu Mei, and become emperor myself!"

Xiaomai: "+1, Teacher Hu is awesome!"

Rem: +1

Ying Zheng: "Good heavens, you guys are the most insightful. It's normal, there are only a handful of loyal ministers like Yue Fei in thousands of years. You can only say that Zhao has struck gold."

Zhao Kuangyin: "Indeed, with General Yue here, my Great Song Alliance is much more stable. The Great Song has no shortage of talented people, but they haven't been used in the right places. Now that we have the chat group, the secret service of my Great Song Alliance is flourishing."

Yue Fei: "You flatter me, everyone. In truth, even if I were to govern this region, I probably wouldn't be able to. Military administration and politics are not the same system. Military administration is about managing your subordinates and supplies. Governing a region involves dealing with too many people and is too exhausting."

Zhao Kuangyin: "It is indeed troublesome. But these are not problems. With supernatural powers, neither world will need many administrators. Without the aristocratic clans, matters like land monopolies can be controlled, and the lives of the people will get better and better. By the way, Miss Su, have you selected the technical personnel you mentioned for the support?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Of course, let them go over there later. Remember to pay them a high salary."

Zhao Kuangyin: "Don't worry, in the Song Dynasty, you'll never have to worry about a low salary! Besides your salary, you can have as many wives and husbands as you want! [Proud]"

Gabriel: "Good heavens, do you think these people would want to come back after they've been here? [Shocked]"

Umaru: "They actually released a waifu?! 々｀!"

Ye Hei: "She even posted about her husband! [Shocking]"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Damn it, I'm so jealous! I'm going to tell my fourth son to start the Age of Exploration and make money all over the world!"

Ying Zheng: "No, wouldn't it be better to let Zhu Di colonize the whole world? The whole world would be a granary, how wonderful!"

Zhu Youjian: "Great idea! Ancestor, can we do this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Of course."

Su Xiaoxiao: "I can provide shipbuilding technology, absolutely top-notch, hundreds of years ahead of your world."

Umaru: "No way? I remember Emperor Ming was very powerful, didn't he? He even needed shipbuilding technology?"

Gabriel: "What kind of talk is this? Does it mean that Emperor Ming should personally lead people to conquer cities and territories? Is he acting as an emperor or a laborer?"

Inviting the Moon: "An emperor must act like an emperor. Especially in ancient times, it was a very serious matter if an emperor lacked authority, which could lead to chaos in the world. Only in your later generations do you emphasize equality for all; it was not feasible in ancient times."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "There's no other way. In ancient times, productivity and the education level of the people couldn't keep up. Rashly advocating equality for all would be harmful and not beneficial."

Li Shimin: "What you all say makes sense. [Image] The high-yield grain harvest that Miss Su provided has been a success. The rice yield is over 1,500 catties per mu, and the sweet potato yield is 4,000 catties per mu. This yield is simply terrifying. The people are all amazed."

Li Shimin: "Actually, if someone were to cast the Sweet Rain Spell again, wouldn't the yield be even higher?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Of course it will be even higher. The Sweet Rain Curse can not only be used for planting spiritual herbs, but it is also very useful for planting ordinary crops."

Li Shimin: "Thank you for your guidance, Daoist. It's decided. We will immediately establish a cultivation academy, select talents, and then distribute the tasks of planting spiritual herbs and grains."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Goodness, so cultivating immortality starts with farming, huh? This is starting to resemble the characteristics of a mortal world."

Li Shimin: "There's no other way. The martial arts created by Daojun have a low entry barrier, and anyone can cultivate them. So, who should we choose to teach the subsequent techniques?"

Li Shimin: "Of course, we should promote those who have made contributions!"

Ying Zheng: "I can also follow suit and implement a system where skills are awarded based on contributions and cannot be taught privately. This way, ordinary people will also have a path to advancement."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "This method is good and can be adopted."

Zhao Kuangyin: "I can also implement this later, but we'll have to wait until I conquer the Liao Kingdom first. [Video] The Liao army is at the gates, take them down within three days!"

Zhu Youjian: "Good heavens, Emperor Song is so fast!"

Zhao Kuangyin: "Unifying the country is my lifelong wish, and I will do it as soon as possible!"

Zhu Wushi: "Congratulations to Emperor Song for achieving his life goal."

Zhu Youjian: "+1"

Su Xiaoxiao: +1

Huang Rong: +1

"..."

Ye Hei: "The Song Dynasty is very famous in later generations because of its culture, with many TV dramas and novels about it. The only downside is that the Song Dynasty never unified the country and was quite weak in its foreign policy. However, starting today, we'll turn the page on that. Well done, Emperor Taizu of Song!"

Wang Chao: “｀ 」+1”

Zhang Sanfeng: +1

Zhao Kuangyin: "Haha, thank you all. When I unify the world, I will go to Mount Tai to worship the Daoist God and hope for favorable weather."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Isn't it a sacrifice to heaven?"

Zhu Youjian: "If we offer sacrifices to Heaven, Heaven may not respond; but if we offer sacrifices to the Dao Lord, the two angels will respond. It will be clear at a glance who we are offering sacrifices to."

Zhu Wushi: "That's true. @Zhu Yuanzhang, Ancestor, what should I do?"

Zhu Youjian: "You want to usurp the throne, but you don't know what to do? [Speechless]"

Zhu ignored it: "What do you mean by usurping the throne? The ancestor has already recognized my identity!! I am rightfully inheriting the throne."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "?? Are you really a prince? How do you ascend the throne and become emperor? Do I have to teach you? Seriously? Is this how my descendants behave? Do I have to personally design your coronation ceremony? [Eye roll]"

Su Xiaoxiao: "I'm dying of laughter. Wasn't the Divine Marquis quite capable in the original novel?"

Zhu Youjian: "Miss Su, you don't need to praise him. As a prince, he goes to the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world) and relies on swindling and cheating. It's simply too shameful."

Zhu Yuanzhang (Wang Ma's) said, "Yes. Being a prince is restrictive, and so is being a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person of the martial arts world). Be bolder, what are you afraid of?"

Zhu Wushi: "Thank you for your guidance, Ancestor. I will consider it carefully before inviting you to descend."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Good. Think it over carefully. It's not just about the coronation ceremony, but also about the subsequent governance of the dynasty. You can't just come to the chat group to ask every question, can you? To be an emperor, you need military strength, but you also need brains!"

Zhu Wushi: "Thank you for your teachings, Ancestor!"

After the chat ended, Zhu Wushi had many thoughts to share.
