I'm a villain with my own world modifier

[What kind of luck does this Xue Yunmu have? ]

[In the upper realm, the original body was "accidentally" killed by me.]

[The backup organization left behind in the lower realm was "accidentally" wiped out by my clone? ]

……

When the clone saw the original body lost in thought, he immediately showed a puzzled expression.

After seeing this, Bai Qiuyuan simply edited his memories and shared them with his clone.

When the clone learned that the demon cultivator he had just reported was called Xue Yunmu.

After the real body in the upper realm was killed by the main body, the clone looked at Bai Qiuyuan with a bit more awe in his eyes.

The clone felt this in his heart.

【As expected of the real body! 】

[The disaster had already been eradicated in advance.]

……

Afterwards, Bai Qiuyuan upgraded the clone's accessories, increasing its ability to handle major government affairs independently, and then gave the clone an order.

"You should continue to recruit the remaining forces of Xue Yunmu."

"Yes."

The clone said this and left the palace hall.

——Ten minutes later——

After Bai Qiuyuan finished reviewing the last memorial in front of him, he stretched lazily.

Bai Qiuyuan had just stood up and was about to leave the palace.

A minister hurriedly ran directly to the hall.

"Your Majesty! I have an urgent matter to report!"

Bai Qiuyuan: “?”

"Minister of Revenue? Why are you so flustered?"

(Note: The Ministry of Revenue manages national finances, equivalent to the Ministry of Finance in Bai Qiuyuan's previous life.)

……

--A few minutes later--

Bai Qiuyuan followed the Minister of Revenue to the treasury of the Qiu Kingdom.

At this moment, the gate of Qiu Kingdom’s treasury was flooded with a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.

It seems that because there were too many treasures stored, the door burst...

Bai Qiuyuan: “?”

[When I first ascended the throne, wasn't the national treasury still in deficit?]

Although reform policies have been implemented, how long has it been going on?

The minister explained.

"After Your Majesty annexed other countries, they offered many treasures as tribute."

"Add to that the income from the 'Imperial Palace Wall Advertisement' and the extra gold that Your Majesty had when you exchanged your Night Pearls for gold."

"And the treasures from Bailu Villa were temporarily stored there because the villa couldn't hold them all."

"Also, because of His Majesty's reforms this year, although the amount of tax has decreased, the tax collection has been very smooth."

"The five treasuries of Qiu Nation are all full at this moment!"

"Your Majesty, please arrange for this extra money."

Bai Qiuyuan smiled after using his spiritual sense to determine the amount of treasure inside.

"I thought something terrible had happened."

"It's just a lot of money, why not just spend some of it?"

"Pass the order down. This year's bonuses for all ministers will be distributed in advance. Each person will receive 10,000 taels of silver."

"In addition, all soldiers in the country who have served in the army for more than five years will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver each."

"Seventy taels of silver for soldiers with more than seven years of service."

"All the remaining soldiers will receive five taels each."

"For those with disabilities, poverty, or hidden illnesses, an additional five taels will be added."

"After that, take out another 1,000 taels of gold to repair the official roads that have been repaired."

(Note: The one liang here is roughly equivalent to 1000 yuan in Bai Qiuyuan's previous life.)

(Note 2: One tael of gold = ten taels of silver.)

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

When the Minister of Revenue heard that there was a bonus, he was so excited that he knelt down and kowtowed to express his gratitude.

The posture made it look like he wanted to smash his head right there.

After Bai Qiuyuan calculated carefully, he found that even if he made such arrangements.

That only cost about a national treasury.

There are still four treasuries that are overflowing...

No matter how much rewards are given, they will only increase jealousy.

After the storage ring is stored, it is easy to lose it if placed in the treasury.

Now there are five huge treasuries, so there is no need to waste manpower to expand them.

Bai Qiuyuan: "..."

【We need to spend a little more.】

Afterwards, Bai Qiuyuan used his space ring to take some gold and left the palace.

……

——Wen Mansion——

Wen Zhengping was lying on a recliner reading a letter.

The letter in Wen Zhengping's hand was from Wen Ningyu through formal channels.

A letter from home sent through the portal connecting the upper and lower worlds.

And there were only eight short words written on this letter.

[Dad! Don't worry! Everything is fine!]

Wen Zhengping: “…”

After reading the contents of the letter, Wen Zhengping cursed with a helpless smile.

"Little girl, you didn't even bother to write a few extra words when you sent the letter back."

But Wen Zhengping thought again, Wen Ningyu was still young, and it was indeed a bit difficult for her to write a letter according to the format.

Then Wen Zhengping no longer cared about these details.

After complaining, he placed the letter on the small table beside him.

He picked up a teacup on the small table and calmly took a sip of tea.

Wen Zhengping thought while drinking tea.

[I don't know where Bai Qiuyuan is now.]

[It seems that there have been very few rumors about him in recent times...]

……

"Father-in-law! I'm back!"

“Poof!! Cough cough cough…”

Just as Wen Zhengping was thinking about Bai Qiuyuan.

Bai Qiuyuan's voice suddenly sounded behind Wen Zhengping.

Wen Zhengping was so scared that he spat out the tea he had just taken.

Bai Qiuyuan: “……?”

Wen Zhengping patted his chest to stop coughing, turned his head sideways and looked at Bai Qiuyuan behind his seat and complained.

"Why are you walking so quietly?"

After hearing this, Bai Qiuyuan scratched his head in embarrassment.

Bai Qiuyuan took out a ring and smiled.

"I came to see my father-in-law today for an important matter, and also for a business deal to discuss."

After hearing this, Wen Zhengping's eyes suddenly lit up.

After all, the dividends earned from Bai Qiuyuan Villa were not a small amount.

Although Wen Zhengping is already the richest man in Qiu Country.

But... who would complain about having too much money?

Bai Qiuyuan explained with a smile.

"There are two million taels in the ring..."

Wen Zhengping stood up.

Bai Qiuyuan: "...gold."

Wen Zhengping fell down.

Bai Qiuyuan: “?”

[You're such an adult, why do you still fall when you walk? ]

After Bai Qiuyuan complained in his heart, he used his spiritual power to lift Wen Zhengping up and continued to explain.

"Half of it is the betrothal gift I intend to make up."

"The other half, I'll leave to my father-in-law to help me manage my finances."

"Father-in-law, you can take 20% of the profits from financial management."

"If I lose, I lose."

After Wen Zhengping stood up, he took the ring from Bai Qiuyuan's hand blankly and asked in confusion.

"Are you so confident in handing over so much money to me?"

"Aren't you afraid that I might embezzle it?"

Bai Qiuyuan said with a smile.

"They are all family members."

"At worst, I can seize the thrones of a few more countries and make them vassal states of Qiu Nation and pay more tribute~"

"They paid a lot of tribute~"

Wen Zhengping looked at Bai Qiuyuan who was joking in front of him and couldn't laugh at all.

Because Wen Zhengping understood that Bai Qiuyuan was fully capable of doing so.

Wen Zhengping: “…”

"alright."

Wen Zhengping looked at the ring and asked in confusion.

"By the way, when do you and Ningyu plan to get married?"
