Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Zhuque Street is the most bustling place in the capital.

Lin Mo and Liu Yiyi changed into casual clothes and stood in front of a very large five-story pavilion.

A huge golden signboard hangs above the attic: Daqian Royal Trading Company.

At this time, Zhuque Avenue was completely blocked by a large crowd.

Tens of thousands of people lined up in long queues, carrying all sorts of things.

Some were carrying bags of grain, some were carrying baskets of scrap iron, and some were even carrying a few freshly picked common medicinal herbs.

Everyone's face was filled with fervor and anticipation.

"What's going on? Is this a porridge distribution?"

Lin Mo looked at this exaggerated scene with a face full of doubt.

"There's no such thing as a lot of appeal in giving out porridge."

Liu Yiyi pulled Lin Mo into the second floor of the teahouse opposite the shop and looked out the window.

"Husband, you gave me all the low-grade pills from the Xuan Tian Sect's spirit boat, as well as the spiritual water that overflows from the Creation Immortal Pool every day."

I had these ingredients diluted ten thousand times, mixed with common medicinal herbs, and kneaded into "Strengthening Pills" and "Qi-Boosting Powder."

Liu Yiyi pointed to the large counters at the entrance of the shop below.

"I have established a rule that the Royal Merchant Guild will not accept gold or silver for its elixirs."

Lin Mo was startled.

"You don't accept gold or silver? How will you make money then?"

"Husband, you have a narrow mind." Liu Yiyi rolled her eyes at him.

"Gold and silver are just scrap metal to cultivators. What I need are resources."

Liu Yiyi pointed to an old farmer who was standing in line at the counter below.

The old farmer placed a basket of dark iron ore from his back onto the counter.

The shopkeeper inspected the goods and handed the old farmer a wooden plaque with "Ten Points" engraved on it.

The old farmer took the wooden plaque, turned around and ran to the exchange window next to him, exchanging it for a dark-colored "strengthening pill".

The old farmer swallowed the pill on the spot.

In less than ten breaths, the old farmer's hunched back suddenly straightened, and his bones cracked like popping beans.

His chronic ailments from years of hard work were instantly cured, and he even felt a faint current of energy flowing through his body.

"A miracle drug! It really is a miracle drug!"

The old farmer was so excited that he trembled all over, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed frantically in the direction of the palace.

"This humble subject is deeply grateful for Your Majesty's boundless grace! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

When the old farmer knelt down, a large number of the people queuing around him also knelt down in unison.

"Your Majesty is wise! You've allowed us common people to enjoy the elixir of immortality!"

"Long live the Great Qian Dynasty! Long live His Majesty!"

A deafening roar of cheers echoed across Zhuque Avenue.

Lin Mo turned to look at Liu Yiyi, and he finally understood what Liu Yiyi was thinking.

"Are you trying to make cultivation resources as cheap as cabbage?"

Liu Yiyi nodded, her shrewd face full of confidence.

"I don't think it's a good thing to hoard pills and spiritual energy."

"These people may not have gold or silver, but they have labor power."

"A basket of iron ore, a bag of surplus grain, and a few herbs can be exchanged for points, which can then be used to exchange for elixirs."

Liu Yiyi fiddled with her fingers.

"My lord, do you know how much supplies the Royal Trading Company has acquired these past few months?"

"People all over the world are frantically mining for minerals and growing crops."

"The black iron and black gold we collected are enough for the Ministry of Works to manufacture another 100,000 spirit-powered firearms. The grain we collected is enough to feed a million-strong army for ten years."

"Most importantly, the physical condition of those who took the 'Qi-Inducing Powder' improved significantly. Among them, even one in a thousand successfully guided Qi into their bodies and entered the Qi Refining stage."

Liu Yiyi looked down at the frenzied crowd.

"This world does not belong to the aristocratic families, nor does it belong to us; it should belong to the hundreds of millions of ordinary people."

"As long as the Royal Trading Company opens branches in every prefecture of the Great Qian Dynasty, all the people in the world will become my husband's most loyal followers."

"Anyone who dares to rebel, anyone who dares to say a bad word about the Great Qian Dynasty, can be drowned in their spittle without the Imperial Guards even lifting a finger."

Lin Mo felt a chill run down his spine.

Absolutely.

They exchanged the cheapest diluted spiritual water for the world's largest amount of basic resources.

Not only did it solve the logistical problems of expanding the army, it also conveniently sealed the hearts of the people of Daqian.

"Yiyi, you really are a genius!"

Lin Mo picked up Liu Yiyi and spun her around twice.

"Put me down, in public."

Liu Yiyi blushed slightly and lightly punched Lin Mo.

"What are you afraid of? You're my wife, and also the God of Wealth of the Great Qian Dynasty. Who dares to look at you?"

Lin Mo laughed loudly.

This is a true example of dimensional reduction attack!

In the past, the Great Xia Dynasty relied on its power to oppress the people, but now the Great Qian Dynasty relies on cultivation resources to harvest labor, and the people are grateful.

"Let's go back to the palace! You deserve a proper reward today!"

Lin Mo hoisted Liu Yiyi onto his shoulder, leaped out of the teahouse window, and transformed into a streak of light, hurtling towards the palace.

Inside the imperial study, wisps of ambergris smoke rose.

Lin Mo leaned back on the large dragon throne, flipping through the royal trading company accounts that Liu Yiyi had just delivered.

The treasury of the Great Qian Dynasty is becoming increasingly full, and the re-equipping of the 300,000-strong army of cultivators has been completely completed. The entire world is operating rapidly according to his will.

"My lord," Li Dequan said, bowing as he entered with his hands at his sides. "The two chief officers of the Zhenwu Division are waiting outside the hall."

"Announce."

Lin Mo closed the ledger.

The palace doors opened, and two strikingly different figures stepped inside.

Walking on the left, Feng Niang wore a bright red gauze dress with a very low neckline, revealing large expanses of her snow-white skin.

She swayed her hips as she walked, exuding a natural, alluring charm.

On the right, Bai Zhi wore a plain white dress, her figure slender and graceful.

She kept her head down, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, and her steps were extremely light, like a little white rabbit afraid of disturbing others.

"Your subordinate, Feng Niang, greets Your Majesty."

Feng Niang gave a sweet bow, then raised her head and gave Lin Mo a flirtatious wink.

"Your subordinate, Bai Zhi, pays her respects to Your Majesty."

Bai Zhi knelt on the ground, her voice very soft, even the base of her neck was flushed pink.

"Don't call me 'subordinate,' call me 'husband.'"

Lin Mo stood up and walked to the two of them.

He reached out and helped Bai Zhi up, and casually pinched Feng Niang's slender waist.

Feng Niang leaned against Lin Mo's shoulder, tracing circles on his chest with her fingers.

"My lord, we sisters have worked day and night to finish the task you entrusted to us. How do you plan to reward us?"

Lin Mo slapped Feng Niang's hand away and pulled Bai Zhi to the imperial desk.

"Let's get down to business. How's the integration going?"

When the topic turned to business, Bai Zhi took a deep breath, and her timid demeanor instantly vanished.

She pulled a thick file from her sleeve and handed it to Lin Mo with both hands.

"Your Majesty, all 36,000 undercover agents of the Crimson Phoenix Hall, spread throughout the land, have completed their integration with the 3,000 Phoenix Shadow Female Guards."

Bai Zhi turned to the first page of the file, her fingertip hovering over a huge network diagram.

"The Crimson Phoenix Hall is responsible for gathering intelligence, infiltrating officials' residences, and monitoring rumors in the streets. The Phoenix Shadow Female Guards, on the other hand, operate in small groups, hiding in the shadows of various prefectures, acting as the executioners."

"Intelligence and military force are now completely integrated. This network, as you have instructed, will be named 'Skynet'."

"From this day forward, in the thirteen prefectures of the Great Qian Dynasty, from high-ranking officials to commoners, no one's every move will escape His Majesty's eyes."
