Courtyard House: A System Connecting Two Worlds, Resources for the Nation

When Zhou Feng brought Chen Xiao and Tie Jianguo back to Tokyo, it was still night.

However, by this time, the Song Dynasty had long since lifted the curfew, and night markets could operate until the third watch of the night, while morning markets opened at the fifth watch.

So when Zhou Feng and his two companions appeared, they could even hear a bustling noise coming from afar.

Chen Xiao handed the letters he brought back from Japan to his subordinates, instructing them to deliver them to the residences of Xiao Qinyan and the corresponding military generals.

Although Chen Xiao did not open and read the contents of these letters because of the sealing wax, they were nothing more than an account of what he had seen and heard on the Japanese island to the high-ranking civil and military officials who were still in Tokyo.

In this respect, Chen Xiao was quite satisfied with the performance of his men, after all, his confidence stemmed from the superiority of modern machinery and weapons over the ancients.

Zhou Feng wasn't interested in that; he just wanted to know what was happening in the Dream of Splendor world and why so much emotional value had suddenly been generated.

With the regional network set up by Lin Yin, and through Bluetooth headsets, the team leader of the experts sent by this world to carry out the mission quickly appeared in front of Zhou Feng.

"Hello, leader. Hello, Captain Chen."

The visitor greeted him, and Chen Xiao went straight to him: "Old Qian, it's not easy for the boss to come all this way. Could you give us a report on how our business in Tokyo City is going lately?"

Although he didn't know what had happened to Zhou Feng, Chen Xiao keenly sensed that Zhou Feng's emotions were a bit off.

It's not a negative emotion like anger or dissatisfaction, but rather a feeling similar to curiosity and surprise.

So he didn't bother with formalities and immediately asked the other party to start reporting.

Qian Yuan nodded and turned to Zhou Feng: "Leader, after discussions and arrangements by the experts sent here, we are currently adopting a three-pronged approach to advance the mission."

"The first line of defense is economic strangulation. Led by several business experts, and with your prestigious reputation as the Celestial Master, we have already penetrated most of the grain, oil, salt, iron, and sugar markets in Tokyo. Our slogan is that the Celestial Master has descended to earth to save all people, and we supply refined salt, sugar, and grains at 30% of the market price. Currently, five out of ten grain shops have signed supply agreements with us, and there are even more salt and sugar shops, reaching approximately 70%."

Zhou Feng and Chen Xiao exchanged a glance. He didn't understand economic warfare, but he could roughly grasp the concept.

The impact of refined salt and granulated sugar on this world is self-evident.

"The second line of operations is the propaganda war. The hundreds of assassins that Captain Chen left us were broken up and scattered throughout the city of Tokyo, using the identities of merchants, beggars, and porters to spread the word about the miracles of the Celestial Master's appearance. In addition to the one in the palace, we also made up some stories. In the past few days, the storytellers in the teahouses have been giving two shows a day, and they are all packed. The doggerel we made up is also being promoted very well on the streets and alleys, and many children are singing it along with us."

hiss--

As soon as this propaganda war started, Zhou Feng instantly understood why he was able to receive so much emotional value!

Although information transmission in this era was not as advanced and convenient as in later times, every prominent figure, especially in the capital city of Tokyo, had an intelligence-gathering organization.

It's likely that the name of this Celestial Master Zhou Feng has already appeared on the desks of officials, from the highest levels of government to the lowest.

Interfering in salt, sugar, grains...

Even if the officials believed in Taoism and respected Zhou Feng as their Celestial Master, they still had to seriously consider what Zhou Feng wanted to do.

Not to mention the Song Dynasty's civil service, whose strength was no less than that of the imperial power!

This surge in sentiment value was probably largely contributed by this group of people!

Zhou Feng's lips twitched slightly, his gaze remaining fixed on Qian Yuan.

His third line of action should ideally involve armed forces; otherwise, Zhou Feng fears that the Imperial City Guard will come knocking on his door the very next morning he arrives in Tokyo.

The premise for the emperor's trust in Taoism and his willingness to grant it a high status was that Taoism would not threaten the imperial rule.

If Zhou Feng's actions could threaten the imperial power, even if he claimed to be a celestial envoy from Penglai, or even if he were an immortal descended to earth, Zhao Heng would still have to fight him!

Sure enough, Qian Yuan began to mention the third line of reasoning: "The dozens of special forces elites we brought from this world have been expanded under the guise of the Celestial Master's Mansion guards, and have now trained nearly a thousand elite soldiers. Most of these men are recruited refugees, and after undergoing modern military training, coupled with the aid of firearms, they can launch a surprise attack on and take control of the imperial palace within a day with a single order. If the plan goes smoothly, together with the military officers we've recruited, we might even be able to complete the transfer of power in Tokyo."

After listening to Qian Yuan's report, Zhou Feng remained silent for several seconds before turning his gaze to Chen Xiao, who touched his nose and gave a dry laugh.

Not to mention Zhou Feng, he never expected this group of people to be so efficient. If they had returned any slower, Zhou Feng might have already ascended the throne!

Seeing Qian Yuan looking at him expectantly for a reply, Zhou Feng coughed lightly: "Um... well done, everyone! Keep it up!"

To be fair, the faster Zhou Feng takes over the world, the better for him.

Once he sits on that supreme throne, acquiring emotional value will be a piece of cake. At that time, the speed at which he gives back to this world will also be accelerated, and the double-door system can be upgraded as soon as possible.

For now, the world's full support for Zhou Feng is still extremely important.

"Let's go and rest first. We'll visit Pan'er tomorrow."

Having learned the source of emotional value, Zhou Feng breathed a sigh of relief and patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder.

Although he lived a carefree life in the courtyard house world, the optimized version of Liu Tianxian in her 20s was also extremely attractive!

Chen Xiao watched Zhou Feng leave for the inner quarters, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This leader is good in every way, except that he is too obsessed with women.

He wasn't a rigid person, but with so many women in three worlds, how could an ordinary person handle it?

According to traditional Chinese medicine, excessive consumption of kidney energy can affect one's normal life!

I wonder when the traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions that Tie Jianguo said he would arrange for the leader will be delivered. The leader's health is not only related to himself, but also to the entire world and the team that followed him to this other world!

Unfortunately, Zhou Feng, who was already in the bedroom, couldn't hear Chen Xiao's mutterings, otherwise he would probably have been incredibly "moved"!

Who would have thought that Chen Xiao, a grown man, would still be thinking about his kidneys?
