Another World Super Dimension Summoner

In other words, they still have time to consider a way out. Even if the time is not too long, only three to five months at most, it is enough for them to think clearly about what they need and want.

In mid-May of the first year of Chuping, in order to facilitate the management of the remaining prefectures and counties of the Han court, Qin Bin placed the temporary general's mansion in Chenliu County, Yanzhou (near present-day Kaifeng).

Naturally, the General's Mansion was moved to Chenliu, which scared Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu, who were nearby, half to death.

However, when they saw that the Qin army was still only training on border defense or sending small troops to suppress bandits, and there were no other unusual movements, they gradually felt relieved.

Dong Zhuo felt relieved and immediately sent a special envoy from the court to announce that the general was given the power to hold the imperial seal and establish a government to govern the country, and he also added the ancient title of Duke of Qi.

Qin Bin accepted all of it.

In Qin Bin's opinion, these identities and powers would help him to act legitimately in Han territory.

This is indeed the case. As far as we can see now, everyone within and outside Qin Bin's jurisdiction, from ministers to ordinary people, does not feel strongly about Qin Bin, partly because of his background and his de facto status as a member of the Han court.

Qin Bin's identity as a descendant of the Qin royal family was equivalent to that of an extremely ancient aristocratic family, and his official status in the Han court was equivalent to Qin Bin considering himself a subject of the Han emperor. In that era when aristocratic families ruled the country and the debate between Chinese and barbarians was very prevalent, people really bought into this.

Back to the General's Mansion, it was just a temporary residence after all, so Qin Bin simply found a larger aristocratic family residence in Chenliu County to make do with instead of building a new one on a large scale.

Of course, the previous owner of this house had committed a crime and had lost his head long ago, and his entire family was implicated and all sent to a labor camp.

In other words, the current owner of this property is Qin Bin personally.

In a study room in the temporary general's mansion, Diao Chan, Cai Yu, Cai Yan, Mi Zhen, and Gan Mei were arranging the bookshelves surrounding the study, carefully placing various books and documents. This was because Qin Bin and his party had just moved in, and many things were still being sorted out.

Qin Bin had no interest in Mi Zhen and Gan Mei at first, and he didn't even think of these two people at all. However, Chang Yuchun was brought back, and since he had planned to capture Xuzhou, Qin Bin had to show his appreciation to the powerful families in Xuzhou, so he accepted them. Then, he let them serve as Qin Bin's personal secretaries temporarily, just like Diao Chan and others.

Mi Zhen and Gan Mei were of similar age. Their ages and names were not recorded in history, but in this world they were called Mi Zhen and Gan Mei.

When Xiaobai first heard these two names, he couldn't help but complain that they had the flavor of ancient Three Kingdoms-style online novels.

The two girls are now in their twenties. Although they are a little young, they still meet the marriage standards of this era, so Qin Bin did not act pretentiously.

However, Qin Bin only let them serve as secretaries temporarily, and he would let them go to school after some time.

As for Mi Zhen and Gan Mei, they were understandably confused and helpless about their experiences at first. After all, they were really kidnapped by the female soldiers ordered by Chang Yuchun. On the way back, they were constantly told that they were asked to serve a noble person or something like that, which made them misunderstand that they were kidnapped by a mountain king of some mountain village. It was impossible for them not to be confused.

Fortunately, they soon discovered that the man they were to serve was not only young, handsome, and tall, but also well-educated, polite, and sensible. He was the model of an ideal husband of the time. In addition, their families later found Qingzhou, and after they had a deeper understanding of Qingzhou, they tried their best to promote these two marriages.

In this regard, the two women obeyed the family's arrangements, and even accepted their arranged fate with a little joy and peace of mind, becoming Qin Bin's concubines.

A little chuckle?

Yes, the two women had no objection to their arranged fate, and were even secretly happy about it.

This is because it is much better than marrying some old, frail, and bad-tempered wealthy or powerful person in the future.

This is the way things are in this era. Most women, even ladies from wealthy families, end up becoming victims of family interests.

When one has no control over one's situation and it all depends on fate whether the marriage partner is ugly or not, a husband like Qin Bin, who is young, handsome, has a good personality and is ambitious, is truly the most ideal husband candidate for women of this era.

Now that they have met, how could the two women have any objections?

Not to mention that when the two women were given memories and learned that they had been displaced for most of their lives in history, they were even more fortunate and happy.

Qin Bin and Xiao Bai were also in the study at this time. They were pointing at a detailed map of the Han land on the carpet.

"Based on the current progress, we will be able to expand again in two months. If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to take over the entire Han territory within this year. We have spent so much effort, but I wonder how cost-effective it is?" After planning the route on the map, Xiaobai couldn't help but say so.

Qin Bin, who was sitting cross-legged and putting down the pen in his hand, said, "I haven't asked Xiao Meng yet, but I guess there will be some profit, but it won't be much. It will take several years to recover the cost of our investment in willpower."

Qin Bin said this because he had invested more than the tens of billions at the beginning. Although he no longer needed to materialize the army, with the hundreds of thousands of people in the early stage as the base, he absorbed the excess labor force of Qingzhou and trained them strictly, so that Qin Bin had no shortage of regular soldiers. However, grassroots officials and professionals from all walks of life did not lack materialization, so so far, his investment in this world has exceeded 100 billion.

"That's it..."

Xiaobai blinked and was thinking about what to say when Mengyuan's voice came into her and Qin Bin's minds.

Chapter 361: Mengyuan's Proposal

[Dream Wish: Xiaobin, you are being conservative. As of last month in this world, the 50 to 60 million people in your jurisdiction, as well as the more than 100 million people in Hanting who were indirectly affected, have provided you with nearly 52 billion wishes. It is estimated that this month will be even more. So, when you take over the entire Han territory, even if you don’t achieve a balance between income and expenditure, it won’t be too different. It is likely that this place will bring you pure income next year.]

Xiaobai's eyes lit up. "Oh, that's great. The population is not that large, but I didn't expect there would be so much profit. Could it be that the humans in this world are special?"

[Mengyuan: They are special, but not in the biological sense. Rather... let's put it this way, there is an essential difference between the people of Hanting and the humans on Earth in the 21st century, in terms of 'feeling the pain' and 'being out of reach'.

In the turmoil of the late Han Dynasty, the people of the Han court suffered a lot, so after they got the hope of survival, the quality and quantity of the emotions they responded were particularly high. On the other hand, no matter how big the news you make, as long as it does not involve life and death, although it can arouse emotions, it is still out of reach for them, and they are not deeply touched, so the quality and quantity of the emotions they are drawn out are very ordinary.

In addition, the lower-class people of this era were still very simple, at least much simpler than those modern people who are bombarded with information from the Internet and other media, so the emotions drawn out, both in quality and quantity, were much higher than those of modern people. 】

"I see."

Qin Bin and Xiaobai nodded suddenly, and then listened to Mengyuan say.

[Dream Wish: High returns are a good thing, and Xiaobin, your investment this time will not only affect this world. When you develop this place, if you encounter similar troubled times in the future, you will not need to spend a lot of willpower to materialize your subordinates. By then, the long-term returns of this investment will be immeasurable. But, I am a little worried now.]

"Worried?" Qin Bin frowned.

[Dream Wish: There is no safety in the Chaos Void. If a big shot passes by one day and gets itchy and crushes this world, then all our hard work will be in vain.]

Qin Bin paused for a moment, then shook his head, "Well, this is indeed a problem, but there is no way to deal with it. At least, apart from becoming stronger, I can't think of any other way to deal with it."

Xiao Bai nodded, "There is indeed only one way, which is to become stronger. In an environment like the Chaos Void, powerful strength is the only way to protect oneself."

[Mengyuan: That's right, but what I want to say is that we do have the need to develop each world, but the coordinates of each world in the chaotic void are different, and we need to connect the information of these worlds through special rules, which inevitably greatly increases the possibility of being noticed by the big guys. To be honest, we have now completely deviated from the Dark Forest survival rule of 'hiding ourselves'.]

Qin Bin asked, "I understand what you mean, but how can we reduce the probability of being noticed?"

[Dream Wish: Eat the world and run away. ]

"......" Qin Bin and Xiaobai were stunned.

[Mengyuan: Of course, if we want to devour a whole world, we still have some difficulties now. However, if we only want to eat a part of the world, such as the solar system of this world, it is not a difficult task. Well, it is not difficult to place it. The internal space of the system can be constructed into a portable universe. Although I have never done this, it should be no problem in theory.]

"Eating up the world and stuff, that's really, really exaggerated..." Xiaobai said with an incredible look on his face.

Qin Bin was also shocked, but he was soon relieved because Mengyuan once said that the essence of the wish system is to play with concepts. Any concept that exists, no matter how incredible, can be realized as long as enough wish power is invested.

In other words, as long as it is within the framework of existing concepts, the willpower system is omnipotent.

And since Mengyuan has said so, then the concept of "eating the world" must exist in the Wish System and the Chaos Void. Since it exists, it will definitely be achieved. The rest depends on the investment.

Relieved, Qin Bin asked, "If that's the case, how much has Wuhai consumed in this solar system?"

[Mengyuan: This... let me calculate... just a bite... law simulation... well, about fifty or sixty points of world origin will be enough. ]

"The origin of the world? What is that?" Qin Bin asked puzzledly.

[Mengyuan: Oh, I forgot to tell you, when I saw the series of numbers after the wish power increased, I felt upset no matter how I looked at them, so I made an automatic unit conversion mechanism a few days ago, that is, 1 billion wish power equals 1 point of world origin.]

"..." Qin Bin and Xiao Bai wanted to complain that the conversion was too casual, but Meng Yuan's voice came again.

[Mengyuan: Although it is a bit expensive to obtain dozens of World Origin points, it can indeed reduce the probability of us being noticed by the bosses in the Chaos Void. Is this worth it? ]

"That's for sure. Under normal circumstances, our own safety is the top priority." Qin Bin paused, then continued, "As for our current income, several trillion wishes... well, dozens of world origins are a lot, but we can still get them out after accumulating them. We can do it, but not now. We have to wait until we have accumulated enough strategic reserves and you can be sure that you can devour the world without causing any harm, then we can implement it."

[Mengyuan: I know this. The system has never swallowed the world before. At least there is no record of it in the database. As for the strategic reserve, we do need it. But how do we determine the quantity of this strategic reserve? Should we take it from the 'public fund'?]

Qin Bin and Meng Yuan originally set a somewhat ridiculous profit distribution quota, with Qin Bin getting 35%, Meng Yuan getting 15%, and public funds getting 50%.

At the beginning, this distribution was not clear, but after successfully passing the primitive capital accumulation stage, Qin Bin clarified the role of public funds, and there was only one role, which was to meet all the needs of the willpower system to become stronger, and all of them were public funds.

As for the initial investment in this "leek field", Qin Bin and Meng Yuan will jointly invest the same proportion of their willpower according to their respective profit ratios. In the future, 50% of the profits will be used to replenish public funds, and the rest will be distributed according to the investment ratio of the two.

To be honest, this distribution plan was originally complained by Xiaobai as "taking off pants to fart". The outrageous thing is that Mengyuan actually agreed with Xiaobai's complaint, which made Qin Bin wonder if his kindness was being taken for granted.

But no matter what, after Qin Bin knew that Meng Yuan had his own needs to use his willpower, he thought it through clearly and knew clearly that this kind of "taking off pants to fart" behavior was necessary. At the right time, Qin Bin would even take the initiative to propose adjusting the distribution so that he and Meng Yuan would get exactly the same share.

Now, it seems to be suitable, so Qin Bin thought about it and said, "No, let's add a strategic reserve and redistribute it. You and I will both keep 15% of the profits, and the amount and nature of the public funds will remain unchanged, still 50%. The remaining 20% ​​is a strategic reserve that cannot be used unless it is absolutely necessary."

Qin Bin's words made Xiaobai stunned for a moment, but he quickly shook his head with amusement, but did not say anything.

Meng Yuan seemed a little stunned as well, and only spoke after a while.

[Mengyuan: What do you mean by redistribution? Isn't it just taking 20% ​​of your income as a strategic reserve? Really...]

Qin Bin smiled and said, "It's all the same. When it comes to an emergency, there is no difference between us."

[Mengyuan: Humph, that's how it is. You are such a troublemaker.]

"I'm not good at married women. Of course, married women Cao is just a cliché. Prime Minister Cao likes beautiful women."

[Mengyuan: Am I talking about women? ]

Qin Bin chuckled, "Well... well, I always think it's better to be as fair as possible."

[Mengyuan: Humph, never mind, I'm not happy anymore, I'm going to go shopping. Don't call me if you have nothing to do.]

As Mengyuan's voice disappeared, Xiaobai opened his little mouth towards Qin Bin, as if to say - is this okay?

Qin Bin smiled and gave Xiaobai a look, the meaning of which was very simple - she is very happy, and I am also at ease.

Xiaobai thought about it for a moment, then came to his senses and smiled in relief...

Chapter 362: Appeasement

At the beginning of June in the first year of Chuping, when the Qin army was busy rectifying its jurisdiction, the three counties of Jiujiang, Lujiang and Danyang in Yangzhou successively announced their support for the general's reform, changed their flags, welcomed the Qin army's entry, and actively cooperated with the reform. For a while, it caused an uproar in the world and made those ministers and princes have more ideas.

The change of flags and banners of the three counties was not due to the proactiveness of the three county governors who were too aware of the current affairs, but the result of Qin Bin sending Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and Tao Qian to act as lobbyists.

Now that Qin Bin's momentum is established, the method of taking over the remaining Han territory is no longer limited to military force. As for Qin Bin himself, the less bloodshed, the better. So while the Qin army was busy rectifying its jurisdiction, Qin Bin also began to let Zhang Juzheng and others adopt a conciliatory strategy, trying to take over as many prefectures and counties as possible before the next military action.

Qin Bin’s purpose was also very simple, which was to create some examples so that there would be less resistance in swallowing up the remaining Han territory.

Back to the three counties, the current prefect of Jiujiang is named Bian Rang, Bian Wenli, who is also a great scholar of the time.

In history, contemporary celebrities such as Kong Rong and Cai Yong highly respected Bian Rang. This world is the same, especially Cai Yong. The reason why Bian Rang became the prefect of Jiujiang was that Cai Yong recommended him to General He Jin many times in letters. General He Jin also agreed with him and promoted Bian Rang successively. Finally, Bian Rang became the head of a county.

However, not long after taking office, Bian Rang realized that he was incapable of doing a good job as a prefect, and he began to think about resigning. Now, Cai Yong has come in person and brought with him the invitation of the Duke of Qi and the general, hoping that Bian Rang can go to the Imperial Academy to study when the world is pacified in the future.

This was exactly what Bian Rang wanted. In addition, Cai Yong personally persuaded him and told him more about the situation in the four states of Qingxu, so he finally had to accept the call from the General's Mansion sadly.

At this point, Jiujiang County changed its flag and banner.

Let’s talk about Danyang County. The prefect of Danyang at that time was Zhou Xin, Zhou Taiming.

Zhou Xin studied under Chen Fan, Chen Fan studied under Hu Guang, and Cai Yong studied under Hu Guang, so in terms of relationship, Cai Yong is still the elder of Zhou Xin's "school". Moreover, when Zhou Xin was studying in Luoyang, he also knew Lu Zhi and had some friendship with Tao Qian.

Tao Qian was from Danyang, and his influence in Danyang was not much less than Zhou Xin's. After surrendering to the Qin army, Tao Qian was soon persuaded by Lu Zhi and others to serve in the General's Office. Because he was from Danyang, he participated in the southward campaign of appeasement.

So under the persuasion of Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Tao Qian and others, Zhou Xin hesitated for a while. With Bian Rang in front of him, Zhou Xin had no choice but to say that he would resign from his post and return to his hometown to live in seclusion.

At this point, Danyang County was captured.

The last one was Lujiang County, but things were not going smoothly, mainly because the prefect of Lujiang County was a bit difficult to deal with.

At that time, the prefect of Lujiang County was Lu Kang from the famous Lu family in Jiangdong. Lu Kang was also very famous in history. Even if his great-grandson Lu Xun (great-grandson: grandson of a brother) was not counted, he was also one of the famous scholars in the late Han Dynasty.

At this time, Lu Xun was only 7 years old. Having lost his father at an early age, Lu Xun now lived with his grandfather Lu Kang in Lujiang. Without external force, Sun Ce would attack Lujiang a few years later, and Lu Kang would die of illness shortly after the city was broken and the battle was defeated. Half of the more than members of Lu Kang's clan also died during this period due to war and famine.

Lu Xun grew up in such an environment, so it is not surprising that Sun Quan, who lacked courage in his later years, gradually lost trust in Lu Xun.

Besides, Lu Kang was a man of integrity and loyalty, and was deeply loved by the military and civilians of Lujiang. Historically, during the Chuping period, the world was in chaos and separatist forces had already formed in various places, but Lu Kang still sent people to the court to pay tribute at risk. This shows that Lu Kang was very loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Later, during the Xingping period, Yuan Shu was short of food, so he asked Lu Kang to borrow food. Lu Kang refused, thinking Yuan Shu was a traitor. Yuan Shu then sent Sun Ce to attack Lujiang. After encircling Lujiang, Lu Kang also led his troops to fight back. During this period, some Lujiang soldiers who had been on vacation took advantage of the night to bypass the enemy's encirclement and climbed back to Lujiang to help defend the city. This shows that Lu Kang was really popular.

Sun Ce attacked Lujiang for two years until Lujiang was almost reduced to a wasteland. Only one or two out of ten Lujiang soldiers and civilians survived, and finally the city could no longer resist Sun Ce and fell.

When the city was broken, Lu Kang was already seventy years old. Although there is no record in history, it is highly likely that he dragged his sick and disabled body to fight Sun Ce to the death. This also shows Lu Kang's perseverance and stubbornness.

To sum up, it goes without saying how difficult Lu Kang is to deal with.

Although Cai Yong knew Lu Kang and had some friendship with him during the more than ten years he fled to Jiangdong, and Lu Zhi had served as the prefect of Lujiang for several years and also knew Lu Kang, he was not sure he could convince a man as upright and loyal as Lu Kang.

For this reason, when Lu Zhi and others went south, Qin Bin also instructed that they could try to show "The Three Kingdoms" to Lu Kang, and made it clear that if it succeeded, it would be a good thing, but if it didn't, there was no need to force it.

The result was similar to what Qin Bin, Lu Zhi and others had guessed. As soon as Lu Zhi and others started to persuade them, Lu Kang directly drove them away. It can be said that he showed no mercy at all. This shows how stubborn this old man is.

This lack of respect also made Chang Yuchun, who was accompanying him, very unhappy. If Qi Jiguang and Li Wenzhong had not held him back, Chang Yuchun would have beaten Lu Kang directly.

In the end, it was the words of Cai Yong, the "future father-in-law", that worked, and Chang Yuchun was able to suppress his temper.

Lu Zhi and Tao Qian had to persuade Lu Kang, who was about to draw his sword and fight Chang Yuchun, to calm down. They also took out "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and gradually guided Lu Kang to understand the future.

While Lu Zhi and others were trying hard to persuade Lu Kang, Chang Yuchun didn't want to stay in the prefectural government, so he asked the steady Qi Jiguang to stay to protect Lu Zhi and others, while he called Li Wenzhong, left the prefectural government, and wandered around Shu County, the seat of Lujiang.

However, after wandering around for a while, he heard people mention the Two Qiao Sisters of Jiangdong in a tavern. They said that the two Qiao sisters were only 28 years old, with unparalleled beauty, and were well-educated, well-mannered, and good at music, singing and dancing. They really made the young men of Lujiang lose their appetite.

Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong became more and more shocked as they listened.

Finally, Chang Yuchun whispered to Li Wenzhong, "Siben, if I remember correctly, in history, Er Qiao should still be a little kid at this time, right?"
