Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 764  Chapter 312: Time Flies! (Part 3)

“Once you all have initiated into Martial Arts, you will enter the military, and I will grant you the power of subdividing the Tianxuan Sub-mirrors, so that every elite soldier in the army can possess a Tianxuan Sub-mirror.”

“I give you three months.” Zhao Feng said.

“We thank the Crown Prince for his generous favor.”

All the ministers bowed, then retreated with an uncontainable excitement.

“Zhang Ming.”

“You also go and touch the Tian Xuan Mirror.” Zhao Feng turned his head and said to Zhang Ming.

“Yes.”

Zhang Ming immediately stepped forward and obtained the Tianxuan Sub-mirror.

“I grant you the power to subdivide the sub-mirrors, so that all the trusted aides in the mansion can be given a subdivided sub-mirror.” Zhao Feng pointed at Zhang Ming.

The light of the Tian Xuan Mirror flashed.

And the Tianxuan Sub-mirror on Zhang Ming’s body immediately transformed into a Tianxuan Mirror that existed between reality and illusion.

“I accept the order.” Zhang Ming bowed and immediately went to execute it.

“Alas.”

“Previously, I hadn’t been involved in the governance of a nation, and now that I’ve taken it on, the tasks are endless.”

“And I’m only formulating national policies, not personally implementing them.”

“I imagine my father must be utterly overwhelmed at this moment.”

“Thankfully, he’s here, otherwise, I’d surely end up like at the end of Qin historically, where everything would be in disarray after conquering a nation, and I’d exhaust myself to death.”

At this moment.

Zhao Feng was filled with a sense of sentiment.

Now that he is engaged with the national government, it is already so complex. If he were to start a new nation, he couldn’t imagine the level of exhaustion it would entail.

“The Tian Xuan Mirror has already begun to subdivide.”

“It is still necessary to organize the currency of the Tian Xuan Mirror and various exchange rates to correspond with the currency of Qin, so that it can be directly issued in the future.”

“Once implemented in the military, it can then be applied in the court.”

“With the Tian Xuan Mirror, even issuing annual salaries or monthly salaries becomes simpler.”

Zhao Feng pondered as he walked towards his palace.

He began meditating on the concept of Tian Xuan Mirror currency, as well as exchange rates and other related matters; these all required his attention as the master.

Within the Great Qin Empire!

Emperor Ying Zheng.

Crown Prince Zhao Feng.

At this moment, both were busy.

Time gradually passed.

One month.

Two months.

As time went on.

Even without war, Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s holy decree remains unchallenged across the land.

Within the Great Court Palace!

“To report to Your Majesty.”

“To report to the Crown Prince.”

“In two months’ time, a new character template has been drafted, here is the basic model.”

“Please allow Your Majesty and the Crown Prince to review it.”

Han Fei respectfully reported.

With a wave of his hand.

Several Imperial Guard soldiers carried a large fabric into the grand hall, unfurling it.

On it were newly created characters.

They were neither the old Qin characters nor characters from the Six States.

“Small Seal Script.”

Zhao Feng glanced at it, immediately recognizing it as the script later known as Small Seal Script.

“Chancellor Han, thank you for your hard work.”

“These characters are excellent.”

“Plain and easy to understand, literate people anywhere can recognize them, regardless of their former kingdom.”

Ying Zheng nodded in praise.

“Indeed, they are excellent.” Zhao Feng also smiled in agreement.

“Please, Your Majesty, name this script so it may be spread across the land.” Han Fei bowed deeply.

“Feng’er, what do you think?” Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Feng, clearly delegating the naming of the script to Zhao Feng.

“These characters were originally created by our Great Qin, and since the world now belongs to Great Qin.”

“They should naturally be called Qin characters.”

“All people under heaven are citizens of Great Qin, so in the future, they should also be called People of Qin.” Zhao Feng responded without hesitation.

Since Great Qin had unified the nation, Zhao Feng intended to firmly imprint the mark of Great Qin on characters and people alike.

Even centuries later.

Qin will persist just as enduringly as Han from original history.

Time in the historical river will not erase it.

“Feng’er speaks correctly.”

Ying Zheng immediately voiced his agreement.

At this moment, Ying Zheng bore a striking resemblance to Zhu Yuanzhang in future history, always echoing the words of “Biao’er speaks correctly” or “Biao’er is right.”

There seemed to be a convergence of sorts.

“From now on.”

“This new script will be called Qin characters.”

“From today onwards.”

“Proclaim it to the whole world, and all shall use the new script. Government decrees, government memorials, military dispatches— all shall be in Qin characters.”

Ying Zheng announced immediately.

“The Emperor is wise.”

Han Fei immediately proclaimed.

“The Emperor is wise.”

The chorus of voices resounded throughout the court.

“To report to Your Majesty.”

“Standardizing of axle widths.”

“I have developed specifications for highways with many colleagues, and have established specifications for the construction of city walls across the empire.”

“They have now been distributed throughout the land, with enforcement by local government offices.”

Li Si announced loudly.

Standardizing of axle widths.

It’s not just about roads.

It’s also about cities across the realm.

For example, standards for county gatehouses, planning of prefectural cities, and even future standards for state capitals.

These were all included.

Covering every aspect.

“Tingwei has done well.” Ying Zheng praised him.

“To report to Your Majesty.”

“Unified customs have been implemented, though cultures vary across the realm, after my consideration, these will be conducted according to the ancient rites of the Huaxia People, with clothing primarily based on our Qin attire.”

“Local government offices have all been supervising this.” Yu Liao reported.

“To report to Your Majesty.”

“Measurement standards.”

“I have established a unified plan with colleagues for the jin, lengths, heights, and depths of Qin.”

“It has been issued across the realm, entrusted to the government for implementation.” Xiao He also stood up to report.

“All four of my esteemed ministers are meritorious.”

“Standardizing language, standardizing measurement, unifying corpus, unifying currency.”

“All have now been unified.”

“This is an unprecedented achievement, achieving great unity for our Great Qin.”

“Your merits are undeniable.”

“Rewards are due, generous rewards.”

Ying Zheng said with a pleased expression.

“We ministers can take on this duty thanks to the trust of Your Majesty and the Crown Prince.”

“It’s our responsibility.”

Han Fei, Li Si, Yu Liao, and Xiao He all bowed.

“Rewards for merit and penalties for the state.”

“This is the core of my governance.”

“So transmit my decree.”

“Grant each of you four esteemed ministers a thousand gold and five hundred servants.” Ying Zheng announced immediately.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great favor.” The four ministers immediately expressed their gratitude.

“With these four national policies in execution, has there been any obstruction?”

Zhao Feng asked the four ministers.
