Qin Dynasty: I am the First Emperor, starting with the Moon Goddess.

"..."

Li Si reported in an orderly manner, which surprised Ying Zheng somewhat, as the progress was beyond his expectations.

"Good, don't be stingy with resources, continue to increase investment."

"At the same time, we can start recruiting the second batch of students."

Now that the six states have been defeated, more talented individuals from the common people have the opportunity to be selected.

"Here!"

The court session ended quickly.

Ying Zheng returned to the inner palace, where the Moon Goddess and Consort Yan had already begun processing the memorials.

There was also Mrs. Hu nearby, who was also studying intently.

Today, the territory ruled by the Qin Dynasty is growing ever larger.

With so many things to handle, Hu Meiren was also pulled in to help.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Upon Ying Zheng's arrival, the Moon Goddess habitually shifted her plump buttocks to make room for him.

It was quite comfortable to be squeezed by the two people's plump buttocks.

Consort Yan handed over a memorial and said softly with a smile:

"The second season of spiritual rice has been harvested, with a total of 2.4 million catties collected and put into the national treasury."

"Should we continue promoting it?"

Yan Fei was somewhat uncertain, after all, these outputs were already enough for her current cultivation needs.

However, to cultivate spirit rice, it is necessary to build a spirit-gathering array, which is too expensive.

Ying Zheng quickly scanned it and said with a smile:

"Not only should we increase investment, but we should also gradually establish more advanced spirit arrays. I will provide the spirit stones for the upgrades at that time."

The spirit plant gift pack that the system revealed back then contained more than just these basic spirit items.

The portal is about to be fully charged.

The Qin Dynasty must become stronger.

Seeing that Ying Zheng had made his decision, the two nodded in agreement and began to plan for expansion.

Seeing that the three of them were busy, Ying Zheng took out a handful of spirit stones and began to meditate and cultivate.

Until noon.

Ying Zheng was awakened, and the palace maids had already brought up fine wine and delicacies.

Yan Fei stretched and twisted her body into an exaggerated S-shape, her snow-white flesh trembling, and her plump buttocks full and round.

"So tired~"

The Moon Goddess said with a smile:

"As if I'm not tired of talking."

Ying Zheng got up and picked up Lady Hu, who was still engrossed in her studies.

"Eat your meal first, then you can study."

"Your Majesty, please lower me down!"

Madam Hu blushed slightly and said in a soft, reproachful voice.

The moon goddess tilted her head back and drank a cup of jade-like wine. The clear and fragrant wine dripped down and exploded on her snow-white flesh.

"Your Majesty, you two stop being so lovey-dovey!"

She looked at the two of them with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng was about to turn around while supporting Lady Hu's plump buttocks when, without noticing, she slipped out of his arms.

With a hint of embarrassment on her mature, jade-like face, she jogged over to the dining table and sat down.

Consort Yan glared at Ying Zheng, "Your Majesty, she has a gentle nature, so you only bully her, don't you?"

The moon goddess smiled teasingly:

"Bullying the weak and fearing the strong."

Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at the two of them, still unsure who was weaker.

Compared to Madam Hu, these two are pitifully weak.

Seemingly understanding Ying Zheng's gaze, the Moon Goddess's cheeks flushed slightly.

Her small hands stubbornly pinched the soft flesh of his waist, and she threatened through gritted teeth:

"Your Majesty~"

Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at her, then slapped her small hand away.

"You're the strongest, okay?"

Moon Goddess: "..."

Seeing their good friend's discomfiture, Consort Yan and Madam Hu both covered their mouths and laughed.

Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Western Expedition! Has the Snow Woman Become a Queen?

With the help of the imperial court, a policy of outward expansion was formulated.

The city of Xianyang, which had been quiet for a long time, became lively once again.

Countless supplies of grain and provisions were continuously transported westward to the martial arts legion that had been training in the royal city.

Upon receiving the order, preparations began.

"There's going to be another war."

"Wasn't the Six-Nation Alliance defeated?!"

"I've heard that the King is going on a western expedition."

"Then I'm relieved. Those barbarians from the Western Regions can't cause any trouble in front of the royal guards."

The people had no worries at all.

Even powerful alliances like the Six Kingdoms and the Xiongnu were defeated; wouldn't the barbarians of the Western Regions be easy prey for them?

In a not-so-solemn atmosphere of departure.

Upon learning that the Great Qin was going to war, the students of the Immortal Martial Academy submitted petitions expressing their desire to join the army.

"We have received Your Majesty's favor, and now it is time for us to repay Your Majesty."

“That’s right, let’s go together.”

"To expand the kingdom's territory!"

"We hope Your Majesty will allow us to join."

What was once a civil war has now become a war to conquer foreign tribes, so the students are naturally very enthusiastic.

Upon receiving the student's request, Bei Mingzi and the others immediately reported it.

Not long after, Ying Zheng, who was cultivating, saw the students' petition.

"Very well, I grant your permission."

These students will be the talent pool for the Qin Dynasty's conquest of the heavens.

It's time to let them out and draw blood.

After receiving Ying Zheng's approval, the entire academy was overjoyed, and the students began packing their bags.

"Haha, long live the King!!"

"After you've achieved some merit in battle, I'll bring my mother to Xianyang too!"

"Brothers, let's charge!"

"The Snow Maiden and the others have already made great achievements; we can't fall behind."

Seeing the students who had lost their minds, Bei Mingzi and the others were terrified.

The final rule stipulated that only students ranked within the top 1,000 were eligible to choose to go to the front lines.

When the order was issued, many students were dissatisfied, and it was only after Ying Zheng ordered them to calm down that they finally did so.

Then a new wave of cultivation frenzy began.

"Damn it, I was so close!"

"While they're away on campaign, let's intensify our training; we'll surpass them sooner or later."

Three days later, amidst the great anticipation of the world.

The western expeditionary army set off.
