Alternate World: I Started With Two SSS Templates

513 State of Xia Dynasty

In the sky above, Lin Xuan and Zhu Mingmei stood together. They looked through space and saw the entire northern lands. People were harvesting spiritual rice. Although it was hard, they were happy. The elderly no longer had to walk alone on a snowy night back home.

In the history of the wilderness world dungeon, humans here could never eat well and wear warm clothes. They always had to offer themselves as a sacrifice to the gods.

There were powerful Beastmaster envoys, priests, and beastblood users, but they were even more detestable. After becoming powerful, they would help the gods manage the humans and would cast the lives of humans under them!

“The northern lands have been completely cleaned up. The Beast Tamer Association and Beastblood Association have been established, and all superhumans have to come here to register. Not just superhumans, even ordinary people have to register and create an identity card. It’s just that the time is too short, and we can’t establish that yet.”

Lin Xuan massaged the side of his temples in distress. These chores were not important, but if he did not do them, the Xia Dynasty would be in a mess. He had to patiently sort out these chores.

“When Taixia was first established, it was like this too. It was even worse than the Xia Dynasty.”

Zhu Mingmei sighed with empathy. She was not only the Grand Princess of the last dynasty but also a legend in Taixia Country. She had seen too many occurrences. Based on what she experienced in the past, this was far easier.

“Are you here to give me more suggestions?”

Lin Xuan grabbed her hand. He wanted to comfort her, but after some thought, he realized that Zhu Mingmei did not need any comforting at all with her personality. He started to tease her instead.

Zhu Mingmei rolled her eyes at Lin Xuan. “As your lover, I should not meddle in your politics!”

“Hahaha, then can I meddle with other people?”

“Eh? Are you asking for concubines? Do you know who proposed bigamy in Taixia Country? Hehe, it was me!”

The day of the Autumn Harvest War had arrived, and the Human Emperor and Empress had returned to their Thrones!

In the palace, Lin Xuan sat on his throne in golden dragon robe, while Zhu Mingmei sat below him in a black and white phoenix ceremonial robe. The officials of the three provinces and six ministries system were all in place, and under the enhancement of the great Xia Dynasty’s Dragon luck, all the ministers above rank three had earth-rank power, those above rank six had mystic-rank power, and those above rank nine had just entered the extraordinary realm.

A rank nine County Magistrate might only have the strength of a low yellow-rank ability user, but in reality, this was a chance for ordinary people to become ability users in one leap. After that, they could start to cultivate other paths. This was just an extraordinary opportunity that they did not want to miss!

“What is the result of the autumn harvest?”

Lin Xuan’s calm voice resounded in the hall, but it was like thunder roaring in everyone’s ears. If not for the protection of draconic providence, they would have been killed by Lin Xuan’s roar!

“Your Majesty,” the Minister of Revenue bowed and walked out. “In the northern area, three hundred thousand acres of spiritual rice has been planted, and sixty percent of it has been harvested. The spiritual rice is all stored in the big warehouse, the total is…”

As the Minister of Revenue spoke, Lin Xuan was silent. He had already looked through these numbers before the court conference, and he was only letting the other officials know. Other than that, there were also some arrangements, such as the planting competition between villages, the population growth competition between cities, and the GDP competition between prefectures…

The capable cities were at the top, and the weak cities were at the bottom. At the start, Lin Xuan had set the tone of governance. Even if the officials were corrupt in the future, there would be a way to clean them up.

Of course, it was still too early to say all this. If he were to be content with a corner after occupying the northern lands and become the king of defense, then even Lin Xuan himself would look down on himself.

Hence, the Xia Dynasty had to strive for development at all costs and provide sufficient material support for future cross-regional expeditions.

“Minister of Works, how are the structures and layouts?”

Of course, Lin Xuan hoped that Taixia’s modern civilization and technology could be seamlessly integrated with the Xia Dynasty. However, that was not possible. Although the electric lamp looked ordinary, the storage and conduction of electricity was far too much… It was better to use some less technological skills, such as the warp plow, paper-making, printing, and so on. For these, the corresponding factories had already been built and they had begun research and production.

“Your Majesty.” The Minister of Works bowed and walked out. “Although the structure of the curved plow is ingenious, it is not complicated. It has been created and has been promoted. The paper-making and printing techniques are already in the experimental stages…”

Lin Xuan’s vision was far-reaching. The current speed of development was up to his pace, but the problem was that time waited for no one. Lin Xuan had to build the wilderness world dungeon as soon as possible and expand the Xia Dynasty’s sphere of influence to the entire world. Only then could he obtain a terrifying national power and further strengthen his own powers to become a true invincible earth-rank master of the national guardian level.

He did not have much time left.

“Minister of War, I want a capable army. If you want people, I’ll give you the numbers. If you want money, just tell me how much. Don’t disappoint me!”

Lin Xuan’s gaze lowered as if there was a thousand pounds of force pressing down on him. A well-equipped general with towering horns and high spirits bowed to Lin Xuan and said, “I will not fail you, Your Majesty!”

The Ministry of Rites was in charge of etiquette and imperial examinations. Etiquette was not of much use at the moment, as they were still at the stage of conquering the world. There was no need to deal with such costly and time-consuming secular things. However, imperial examinations were different. This was a channel to select talents, and Lin Xuan was exceptionally concerned about this.

The wilderness world dungeon’s imperial examinations were not about lengthy essays, but about mathematics, language, science, geography, and history. These were all the information that experts had recorded while traveling around the world. The Xia Dynasty’s academies would then summarize them and publish them in the world.

The last round of imperial examinations and military examinations were not too bad, so Lin Xuan did not ask the Minister of Rites about any updates. Instead, he nodded at him to show his satisfaction.

As for the Ministry of Personnel Affairs and Ministry of Justice, they were both departments that maintained order and stability. However, one was directed at those within the imperial court, while the other was directed at those outside the imperial court. It was still the early days of the dynasty, and the people were simple and honest, so no bad incidents had happened. However, Lin Xuan also knew that the world was constantly moving forward, and people would change as time moved forward. He had to take precautions in advance in case it really came in handy.

After sorting out the entire court, Lin Xuan nodded his head in dissatisfaction. This was the only way for the time being. He hoped that things would continue in a better direction. Otherwise, he would not mind being a tyrant!

“Su Qin, Zhang Yi, I’ll have to trouble the two of you to go to the southern barbarians and befriend them, so that we can attack the eastern barren together!”
