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

Noticing that the emotional value in his system was constantly rising, Zhou Feng was in a good mood these past few days.

It's normal to have emotional fluctuations after a change of dynasties, isn't it?

Moreover, he has already sent people to arrest all the supporting characters in the original work who were opposed to Zhao Pan'er's side.

Ouyang Xu and the Eighth Prince are all to be sent to the prison outside Tokyo.

And then there's that young master Chi and his gang of scoundrels. It's a classic tale of a prodigal son returning home, but unfortunately, before the prodigal son even gets his turn, he's still Zhao Pan'er's rival, and they'll all be sent in together.

There are also officials like Qi Mu who appear in the drama. Although the Song Dynasty lacked people to govern, it did not lack people like them.

For Zhou Feng, nothing in this world is more important than his own emotional value.

Moreover, the arrest didn't cause much of a commotion in Tokyo.

Firstly, the people were still immersed in the policies that Zhou Feng had promulgated that benefited the country and its people, so they didn't care about these people.

Secondly, some people didn't have a good reputation in Tokyo anyway, especially the sons of officials; when they were arrested, some people actually cheered.

Once most of the people have been apprehended, the channels for providing emotional value will be stabilized, followed by large-scale material transportation.

With the entire city of Tokyo captured, Zhou Feng and his men no longer needed to hide their military equipment transport.

After returning several times, he sent a large number of warships, fighter jets, and war supplies to the world of Dream of Splendor.

As long as these things are there, even if Zhou Feng doesn't come back for several years, nothing will go wrong.

The use of teleportation portals was also put to creative use by Liu Xiaohai, who was still on the island of Dongying.

Originally, the transmission of information about copper mines involved the Japanese pirates mining them and then sending the information back.

However, Liu Xiaohai realized a clever way to use the portal: as long as the ore is separated from the mountain, it can be regarded as an independent entity and teleported to this world through the portal.

Therefore, there is no need to go through the trouble of mining; simply blast the mine into pieces. As long as the fragments are still within the transportable volume, it will save a lot of effort.

Furthermore, the technology for separating and smelting ores in this world far surpasses that of the Song Dynasty, saving even more time and costs.

At the same time, Chen Xiao, along with 1000 Daoist followers and tens of thousands of elite troops selected from the Imperial Guard, began a nationwide sweep.

They set out from Tokyo, advancing along the Grand Canal and official roads. Upon reaching each prefecture, they went directly to the capital to proclaim the imperial edict. With the new emperor's ascension, those who obeyed prospered, and those who resisted perished. Those who surrendered were reinstated, while those who stubbornly resisted faced swift and merciless warfare.

Most prefectures naturally chose to open their gates. Those local officials were not stupid; they knew about Zhao Heng's dethronement as soon as the news spread throughout the land via urgent courier service.

Even the regular army was utterly defeated, and the Liao Empress Dowager and Emperor were captured and taken back to Tokyo. Who would dare to fight a losing battle?

Moreover, when Chen Xiao and his group appeared, those twenty-odd armored trucks were enough to dampen the morale of the local soldiers.

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Qian Yuan led a team of experts to draft new tax and official systems for the new dynasty, and the local officials, including Xiao Qinyan, naturally cooperated fully.

Although these experts were ahead of their time by thousands of years, these natives who had emerged from the imperial examination system also possessed their own set of logic and talents, enabling the solutions proposed by these experts to be better adapted to the times.

It should be understood that, apart from having broad vision and knowledge, no scholar who could stand out from the imperial examinations and rise to a high-ranking official position was simple.

Meanwhile, things were not peaceful in the Liao Kingdom either.

The news that Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelü Longxu had been detained in Tokyo reached the country through the defeated troops, causing an uproar among the nobles who remained behind.

Several powerful nobles gathered together and elected Yelü Longqing, Yelü Longxu's cousin, to temporarily assume the government. They assembled all available troops, claiming to number 10, and marched in a mighty force toward the border.

Their plan was quite clever; taking advantage of the ongoing dynastic change and internal turmoil in the Central Plains, they headed directly south.

As for whether the government would be returned to Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelü Longxu after the city of Tokyo was captured, that was another story.

Unfortunately, Zhou Feng's only response to such a battle report was to order the fighter jets to take off.

Even before the next day, in less than an hour, the Liao army, which had just crossed the border, sensed something was wrong.

It was a sound they had never heard before, deep and distant, like muffled thunder, rolling towards them from the horizon.

It grew louder and sharper, eventually turning into a whistling sound that tore through the air.

By the time the Liao soldiers looked up, several shadowy figures in the sky were already approaching them.

That thing was faster than an eagle, higher than the clouds, and left a long tail.

The next second, the sky split open.

The missile, accompanied by a whooshing sound, detached from under the fighter jet's wing and plunged directly into the ground, leaving a short trail of flame.

The first one caused an orange-red fireball to explode right in the center of the Liao army's marching column, and the shockwave sent people and horses flying within a radius of several dozen feet.

Even the sound of the explosion didn't reach the ears of the soldiers in the distance for several breaths.

Then came the second, third, and fourth coins.

More than a dozen bombs covered the front and core areas of the entire Liao army's battle line, with explosions continuing and flames shooting into the sky.

Before the Liao army's rear troops could even see what was happening ahead, they only saw towering flames and billowing smoke, and heard a deafening roar.

Without the slightest hesitation, the defeated soldiers who had once fought against Zhou Feng and his men began to run away.

That was a nightmare they would never forget for the rest of their lives!

If it weren't for the shortage of soldiers in the country, and the fact that they had been reorganized into the army, these people would never have set foot on the land of the Central Plains again.

The Liao people, who had not experienced the previous war, immediately knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness from heaven upon seeing this earth-shattering scene and the punishment that descended from the sky.

Halfway through the march, a meteorite fell from the sky and destroyed thousands of people. What else could this be but divine punishment?

The Liao army, in a sorry state, fled back to its own territory. The generals who led the army were not punished in any way. However, from then on, the Liao court never mentioned the words "going south" again.

What they didn't know was that the reason Zhou Feng's people didn't head north wasn't because they were afraid of their national strength, but because the resources in the Central Plains hadn't been fully exploited yet.

Once this area is sufficiently mined, the next step is to expand to surrounding countries and even the world.

However, these matters were discussed and decided by Qian Yuan and other experts, and Zhou Feng did not intend to participate in them.

Leave professional matters to professionals. At this moment, he was holding Zhao Pan'er and Sun San Niang's hands, preparing to undertake a great feat.

"Are we really not supposed to bring anything?"

Zhao Pan'er and Sun San Niang still looked somewhat uneasy.

Zhou Feng tightened his grip on the hands of the two women slightly: "Don't worry, we'll have everything we need over there! Let's go!"

A flash of white light, and Zhou Feng and his two companions, along with Tie Jianguo and Bai Lang behind them, disappeared from the palace at the same time.
