I am Jiang Ming, the Eternal Demon Emperor

Chapter 856 The Emperor's Path
Jiang Ming had a plan in mind for what was about to happen. He would deal with whatever came his way. During this period, there were countless extraordinary people in the world, and the struggles were brutal.

His military generals and civil officials were reincarnated from corpses that died in magical battles. They were possessed and brought back to life.

Next.

Jiang Ming decided to remain unchanged and adapt to any changes, focusing on developing the business as quickly as possible for a year or two, as this was the most important thing.

With the great calamity raging, what will happen next is beyond even the sage's prediction. The secrets of heaven are shrouded in darkness, and all developments and outcomes are uncertain.

As for those who are preparing to rebel, let them keep plotting.

Let's compare and see whether his development is faster or these people's rebellion is faster.

The key is that the rebellion must not be discovered by him. If Jiang Ming discovers it, he should immediately dispatch his five top generals, all at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, to join Zhuge Liang in an expedition to wipe them out.

Hit a punch to avoid a hundred punches.

Just do it and that's it.

While Jiang Ming was waiting for his opportunity, others were also waiting for theirs.

For example, Jiang Ziya was also waiting for his chance to make a move.

It's even better that everyone is waiting.

Half a year passed quickly.

Half a year has passed, and all twenty-four famous generals and civil officials that Jiang Ming summoned have been assigned to the vicinity of Chaoge City. Jiang Ming has given each of them a minor official position.

On one hand, they were to help them quickly adapt to and master their cultivation level and adapt to this world. On the other hand, they were to supervise Jiang Ming's experimental plan.

Jiang Ming's experimental plan includes three major grain crops in agriculture, as well as the planting of other vegetables and fruits, and even plans to raise pigs, cattle, sheep, and chickens.

There are other aspects, including programs specifically for the development of science.

Especially research on firearms and iron and steel production.

Everything was proceeding rapidly at Jiang Ming's request.

As for the three demons, Jiang Ming also gave them a task. The three of them had too much demonic energy, and despite having the cultivation of Golden Immortals, they were all so useless.

Jiang Ming also plans to create a special "Human Body Martial Arts Realm" to help the three of them undergo a complete transformation and metamorphose into humans. Their current situation clearly indicates an incomplete transformation and a lack of understanding of the human body.

The three of them, having cultivated themselves to a certain extent, also secretly investigated to see if any concubines were being used.

Soon, another three months passed.

Jiang Ming received news that a man named Jiang Ziya had come to his talent recruitment hall.

He never expected that Jiang Ziya would not rebel against him, but instead enter his Hall of Recruitment.

Jiang Ming had an idea and personally received Jiang Ziya, and then took him to see Guan Zhong, who was farming.

He wanted to let the two talk, and he also wanted to see if Jiang Ziya was truly talented, or if he was just relying on the contrast with his peers, or the help of his generals.

For example, Jiang Ming has recently had people keeping an eye on Chentang Pass.

Nezha is a good person. If he is a reincarnation without memories, he can help raise this son.

Soon, another three months passed.

Over the past three months, Jiang Ziya has witnessed firsthand the changes around Chaoge City and has begun harvesting various grains and crops, preparing them in various ways.

This version of King Zhou doesn't seem like a tyrant at all.

Moreover, Guan Zhong was truly talented; he governed the region so that the people lived in peace and prosperity.

In Jiang Ziya's view, the most important thing for ordinary people is to make sure they have enough to eat.

Guan Zhong said that all his achievements here—grain seeds, vegetables, and livestock—should be promoted and disseminated.

The plan is to complete this grand undertaking within three years, so that people will have enough to eat and can eat meat once or twice a month.

As for Jiang Ming's grand scientific development plan, that will also be implemented very quickly. As long as there are resources, Jiang Ming possesses the most advanced technology.

There are also talented people.

Recently, he used 5,000 points each to redeem five scientific research talents.

Fortunately, his dynasty's fortune value increased rather than decreased over the course of the year, rising by more than 20,000 points, which gave him the confidence to continue exchanging for more.

Jiang Ziya's heart was completely changed after witnessing just one of Jiang Ming's experimental results. He felt an overwhelming urge to rebel against King Zhou.

Therefore, he plans to patiently wait another three years and see.

He wanted to see if King Zhou's plans could be realized three years later.

Jiang Ming remained calm, knowing the original plot. So, except for the beginning when he wasn't there and was affected by the Great Tribulation, King Zhou offended the Goddess Nuwa.

After that, Jiang Ming did not make any other mistakes.

Moreover, whenever he had time, he would go to the Nuwa Temple to chat with her statue, talking about his lofty ideals and grand visions. He also kept apologizing to the Goddess Nuwa, admitting his mistakes and proving himself to be a good child.

As for the rest, including his harem, Jiang Ming remained calm, treating all his women equally to avoid causing him trouble. For him, this was a very simple matter.

However, during this process, Jiang Ming also discovered something: all the concubines in the harem possessed some level of cultivation. The weakest among them were at the Refining Essence into Qi stage, while the strongest had reached the Earth Immortal stage.

not bad.

Jiang Ming was also willing to take the time, spending an hour each day, to gather these concubines together and teach them cultivation techniques. He would also check on their progress during the process.

Furthermore, a reward system has been established, and those who make significant progress and work hard enough will be rewarded with anti-aging pills.

Give them something to do to keep them from causing trouble. Or, if they're bored, let them fight and scheme for your favor.

Currently, there are a total of twelve concubines in the harem, so it's not too chaotic.

Another year passed.

Jiang Ming had gained some understanding of the treacherous and loyal officials in the court. He even knew about some ministers who were neither capable nor particularly good.

As for the imperial court, Jiang Ming finally began to take action.

The first thing to do was to behead the two treacherous officials, Fei Zhong and You Hun, along with their henchmen.

Then, the vacant positions were given to historically capable ministers such as Liu Ji, Zhuge Liang, and Guan Zhong, allowing them to officially begin their meteoric rise in rank.

Of course, they were promoted and given titles. The military officers wouldn't show favoritism either.

The three-year plan will continue under their supervision.

However, Jiang Ming did not avoid trouble during this process. Some of the feudal lords were disobedient and unwilling to accept new things.

There was no other way; I had to leave.

Let the Five Tiger Generals, along with the renowned Taiyi Golden Immortal, lead Zhuge Liang, a mere early-stage Golden Immortal, and they can easily sweep through the land.

Zhuge Liang was originally a celestial being, but he was exceptionally intelligent. In the past two years, he had not lacked cultivation resources and was protected by a spiritual treasure bestowed upon him by Jiang Ming. He had already completed the Golden Immortal Tribulation and officially broke through.

The other civil officials were in a similar situation, mastering their physical bodies and cultivation levels, and breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm.

However, among the generals, only Lü Bu, summoned by Jiang Ming, broke through the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

As long as you don't adopt Lü Bu as your son, you'll be quite safe.

Lü Bu teamed up with the exceptionally intelligent Zhuge Liang, which can be considered as working together.

Jiang Ming himself has broken through to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal in two years.

He remained remarkably calm; the path of an emperor lies in ruling over all.
