The old emperor only desires immortality; you must not rebel.

The Holy Emperor once again proved his greatness through his own strength.

This also made the gentlemen of Jiangnan begin to miss the late emperor!

During the reign of the late emperor,

They were still the masters; how dare those scoundrels and lowly thugs speak to them like that?

Instead of living like this now, where they don't live like humans, and the emperor is even less human!

Those officials who planned to flood the Holy Emperor and let him rot in the rivers and lakes were completely devastated.

You should have said so earlier!

If we had known you had such terrifying abilities, we would have lined up to commit suicide long ago.

The Holy Emperor stood atop the city wall, his gaze sweeping over the loyal guards below.

Raise your hand and press lightly!

"I bestow upon you glory and brilliance!"

Then, a dazzling golden light erupted from the guard's body.

His body began to grow tall and strong, and his armor turned a dazzling gold.

A golden pillar representing the nation's destiny fell from the sky!

By harnessing the power of the nation's destiny and employing magical arts, they can leverage the power of this world.

A cultivation method applicable to the Qing Kingdom!

The next goal of the Qing Kingdom is to achieve universal cultivation of immortality within three years and to surpass the cultivation world outside of Tianyuan within five years.

The Holy Emperor once again unleashed his talent!

The golden light has faded!

Golden-armored guards stood tall beneath the city walls.

The golden-armored guard clenched his right fist, nodded respectfully, then turned and transformed into a golden light, rushing out.

He was born with superhuman strength!

It boasts unparalleled speed!

They possess inhuman physical abilities!

Simply by calling out the name of the Holy Emperor, one can borrow the power of heaven and earth.

The ground exploded with a deafening roar!

In the distance, a group of reckless thugs who had been letting the water flow were caught one by one by the golden-armored guards, like chickens.

Of course, those who disobey will be beaten to a pulp by the Golden Armor Guards.

The great divine power of the Holy Emperor caused everyone to kneel in worship.

What is a river god?

The Holy Emperor slapped the waters of the Changling River back into the river with a single blow. Could the River God do the same?

The Holy Emperor is benevolent.

Prepare hot rice porridge and steamed cornbread for the gentlemen, and at least their basic needs will be met.

In exchange, the Holy Emperor will strip them of all their assets!

Some heinous criminals were stripped naked by a group of people, tied to flagpoles, and paraded through the streets as a public spectacle.

As to the extent of their crimes, one only needs to look at the stones thrown by the people to know.

Of course, we couldn't bear to throw away the eggs, but there were plenty of stones.

Forced women into prostitution, human trafficking!

These are all child's play.

The Jiangnan region is rich in salt, and the local officials firmly control the salt industry, preferring to dump it rather than share a single drop with the poor.

The shrewd officials manipulate the economy, squeezing every last drop of blood and sweat from the poor, yet they still expect the poor to call them "great philanthropists" and be eternally grateful.

Similarly, the Holy Emperor also distributed rice porridge and cornbread to the poor and tenants in the countryside.

There's free rice porridge, and the leader of the Wowo (a type of steamed bun) team!

Not only that, they also give out money!

As for where the money is, that's for them to discover themselves.

Exploring the literal meaning!

Let them take hoes and dig three feet into the ground in the houses of the gentry in the city.

As long as you swing your hoe well, you can live in a new house!

Then, one by one, the poor people began to gather in the city.

All the gold and silver hidden by the city's gentlemen were unearthed.

Even the gold and silver hidden in relatives' houses and tenants' houses were dug up.

Not only that, the Holy Emperor also distributed land!

Once you've paid your share to the Holy Emperor, the rest is yours!

They began to sing praises of the Holy Emperor's virtues!

Regardless of whose land it was, all of it was confiscated and belonged to the Holy Emperor, who then distributed it in a unified manner.

We offer sacrifices to the Holy Emperor!

Every household brought the portrait of the Holy Emperor into their homes and worshipped it day and night.

Upon hearing that the land was to be distributed to the poor, the officials immediately became anxious and tried to resist, but they were met only with the iron fists of the people!

The iron fist of the poor people arrived before the iron fist of the holy emperor.

They knew all too well how the master hid the land.

It is nominally "wasteland", but in reality it is fertile land!

In this process, many people stood out because they knew how to search for the assets of the gentry and thus caught the eye of the Holy Emperor.

Yang Xian was one of the best among them!

As a private slave of the Wang family in Jiangnan, he was educated, but his background destined him to never be able to participate in the imperial examinations.

As a private slave of the Wang family, as long as the contract remained in the hands of the Wang family, he would never be able to participate in the imperial examinations.

This is also a tactic used by the gentlemen of Jiangnan!

These servants could only ever be servants of noble lords, generation after generation.

Their grandfather was a servant, their father was a servant, they themselves were servants, and their descendants could only be servants as well.

Yang Xian was clearly unwilling to be just a servant.

Therefore, he immediately reported the Wang family of Jiangnan to the Emperor's guards.

As one of the more educated servants, he was well aware of how the Wang family of Jiangnan evaded, avoided, and resisted taxes.

The Holy Emperor liberated the slaves of the aristocratic families!

Therefore, these former servants of aristocratic families became the main force in the campaign against them.

With the Holy Emperor's eight thousand Black Riders, the entire Jiangning Prefecture carried out its campaign against the lords in an orderly manner.

Even if one or two people try to take advantage of the chaos, they will be met with the executioner's blade by the Emperor's guards.

Ten days later,

The propagators of the Holy Emperor's deeds, the first batch of candidates for the special imperial examination, arrived in Jiangning Prefecture.

They will take charge of affairs in Jiangning Prefecture, replacing the old officials of Jiangning Prefecture.

As believers in the Holy Emperor, their hearts were undoubtedly pure.

The Holy Emperor stood in front of the government office, watching the more than twenty candidates for the imperial examinations outside.

The imperial guards, clad in golden armor, held the imperial edict high and proclaimed, "By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:"

"Qi Yue, who was present at the ceremony of the Ministry of Personnel, is hereby appointed as the Prefect of Jiangning, a fifth-rank official!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the imperial edict burst forth with dazzling golden light, and a stream of light landed on a young man in front of the scholars.

As the top-ranked scholar in the imperial examination, Qi Yue's abilities were beyond question.

Most importantly, be loyal enough to the Holy Emperor!

As soon as the sky appeared, it was as if a large net had emerged, and a thread connected to Guo Han's body.

Under the golden light, a golden mark appeared on his forehead.

A vast and powerful aura erupted from Qi Yue!

The golden-armored guards continued to read the imperial edict.

"Lu Yu is promoted to Vice Prefect of Jiangning Prefecture, a sixth-rank official position!"

"Tang Xiu is hereby promoted to Inspector of the Jiangning Prefecture Patrol Office, a seventh-rank official position!"

"pull out……"

As imperial edicts were issued, golden light burst forth from the scholars.

More than twenty people were all granted official positions!

Their official positions were linked to the fate of the nation, and they were protected by the nation's destiny.

If anyone acts out of personal favoritism and is disloyal to the Holy Emperor, it will affect the fate of the nation and result in a backlash from their official position.

By taking advantage of the nation's fortune, they can try to cultivate their spiritual practices, but this power can only be used for the common people.

Of course, the cultivation methods we have obtained so far are still too few.

He hoped that the academy would not give him that hope and that they could research more cultivation methods.

At this moment, a panel appeared before the Holy Emperor.

[Main Quest: Enhance National Fortune, All Cultivate Immortality]

Side Quest 1: Unify the Four Seas

[Side Quest 2: Within one year, the rate of people practicing cultivation should reach 30%]

After a long period of silence, the Holy Emperor has been given a new mission.
