Qin Wu's mind was churning with emotions, and his resentment and anger finally turned into a heavy sigh.

He couldn't even contend with He Yucheng alone, let alone the entire Demonic Flame Sect?

He Yucheng, in particular, was more ruthless than any other immortal master previously stationed in the Qin State.

In just two years, more than two hundred women have died at his hands.

If it weren't for the fact that the successive emperors of Qin State were all wise rulers who diligently governed the people's livelihood, reduced taxes and levies, and encouraged childbirth,

It's likely that the once vast Qin State has long been exploited by the Demonic Flame Sect, its population dwindling to nothingness.

Just as he was feeling depressed, Shangguan Zhong, the Grand Commander of the Secret Guard Shangguan Zhong stepped forward, bowed, and lowered his voice, saying:

"Your Majesty, I have important matters to report."

Seeing that Shangguan Zhong Zhong's expression was solemn and unusual, Qin Wu immediately composed himself and nodded slightly. "To the Imperial Study."

Inside the imperial study, Qin Wu sat down at the desk, his gaze falling on Shangguan Zhong, who was bowing respectfully, and asked:

"Shangguan Zhong, what makes you so serious? Could it be that someone has dared to embezzle the grain meant to relieve the people?"

Shangguan Zhong's expression was solemn. He stepped forward and replied in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, it's not about corruption, but incredibly good news. This may very well be the turning point for our Great Qin to break free from the control of the Demonic Flame Sect!"

Qin Wu sat up abruptly, his eyes lighting up instantly, and eagerly asked:

"Could it be that a righteous sect, or some other Devil Dao Sect, is attacking the Demonic Flame Sect?"

Shangguan Zhong gently shook his head. "Your Majesty, it is not a war between cultivation sects."

Rather, this humble servant recently discovered within the Qin State territory that someone was spreading Fairness System.

Its wondrous aspects far exceed imagination; only by personally binding oneself to the system can one truly experience its mysteries.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a System Seed that was completely smooth and lustrous, and presented it to Qin Wu with both hands.

Qin Wu took the System Seed, rubbed it between his fingertips for a moment, but did not notice anything unusual.

Just as he was beginning to have doubts, a line of striking gold-embossed characters suddenly appeared in his mind:

Do you want to know the meaning of life? Do you want to become stronger? The Fairness System provides services for you. Do you want to bind your account?

Qin Wu was slightly taken aback. After understanding the meaning of the words, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and he immediately silently recited in his mind. "Bound!"

The next moment, a system interface unfolded in his mind, and as the system navigation introduced the functions, they slowly appeared.

Even with his many years Wang Sheng, he had long since cultivated State of Mind that remained unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.

Unable to contain his surging emotions, he involuntarily let out a gasp:

"What a Fairness System! It's amazing! Spatial Teleportation only requires Energy Points to reach any place;"

TikTok, forums, Microchat allow people to communicate instantly, regardless of distance.

The System Store not only has a vast collection of rare and exotic treasures, but it also sells grain.

In this way, wouldn't the famine in my Great Qin be easily solved?

Suddenly, his gaze fixed on a spot on the interface, his eyes lit up, and his face was filled with barely suppressed excitement:

"They actually sell cultivation Cultivation Method and Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root here! Does that mean I can also embark on the path of cultivation?"

Wait, there's this Dao Seed Martial Dao System that can be cultivated without needing any special talent for immortality.

Excellent! Heaven has truly spared the Great Qin!

The imperial study was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, broken only by Qin Wu's occasional exclamations of surprise.

Two hours later, Qin Wu finally figured out the functions of the Fairness System, his face full of barely suppressed excitement.

He looked up at Shangguan Zhong standing to the side, his tone filled with undisguised approval:

"You did a great job this time. If it weren't for your timely report, our Great Qin might have missed Tianji."

He paused slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"Go and do two things immediately."

First, select twenty women from the families of corrupt officials and send them to He Yucheng to appease this devil.

Secondly, all Secret Guard were immediately bound to the system, and then they were dispatched to various locations to Dissemination System with all their might.

The system should be prioritized for dissemination in disaster-stricken areas; once implemented, it can address issues such as civil unrest and food shortages.

Seventy percent of the Energy Points obtained by each Secret Guard Dissemination System must be handed over.

Please remember to record any instances where someone is unable to bind their account.

As you know, the conditions for binding to the system are extremely lenient; only the most heinous and inhumane individuals are ineligible to bind to the Fairness System.

The 100,000 beautiful women that would be offered as tribute to the Demonic Flame Sect each year would be sourced from the families of these individuals.

In addition, the distribution system was always conducted in the name of the imperial court.

Inform the people that from now on, currency taxes will be abolished, and system Energy Points will be collected instead.

At the same time, they were informed that food was available for sale in the System Store, so they would never have to go hungry again.

The market also has high-yield grain varieties, which the people can plant to ensure that the Great Qin will not suffer from famine again.

Furthermore, you arranged for people to secretly spread rumors about the Demonic Flame Sect's exploitation of the Qin State.

Let the people know that their suffering is mainly due to the persecution by the Demonic Flame Sect.

At this point, Qin Wu's tone suddenly became more serious, "Anyone who dares to obstruct the system's dissemination will be killed without question!"

Shangguan Zhong and accepted the order, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this humble subject will not fail in his mission. However..."

He hesitated for a moment, but still reported the truth, "If all the people are bound to the system, they can cultivate and become stronger, and in the future they may be difficult to control, and might even... develop rebellious intentions."

Upon hearing this, Qin Wu waved his hand dismissively, his eyes brimming with the pride and confidence of an emperor.

"I am not afraid of the people becoming stronger, nor am I afraid of them developing a rebellious spirit."

My Great Qin Dynasty needs this spirit of not yielding, not the cowardice of passively accepting fate!

Even if the Qin State is no longer ruled by me in the future, as long as they can overthrow the rule of the Demonic Flame Sect, it will fulfill the long-cherished wish of me and all the previous emperors.

Moreover, I have the confidence that even if they are dragons, I can still be the Dragon Emperor who rules over all dragons.

Shangguan Zhong looked at Qin Wu with a face full of admiration, bowed, and continued to speak:

"Your Majesty possesses a broad mind and a grand vision, which is truly a blessing for the Great Qin."

Is it too hasty to simply abolish currency taxes and replace them with Energy Points? Shouldn't we take a step back and proceed more cautiously?

Qin Wu waved his hand, his tone resolute. "We don't have time for gradual reforms; we must act decisively."

If the people only realize the true value of Energy Points later, it will be extremely difficult for the imperial court to collect them.

The most important thing right now is to earn a lot of Energy Points as quickly as possible.

Only in this way can they quickly increase their strength before the Demonic Flame Sect discovers the existence of the Fairness System, thus having the power to resist the Demonic Flame Sect.

If we can contend with the Demonic Flame Sect at that time, that would be ideal; even if we can't, our Great Qin can still escape like the Yue State.

Instead of being treated like pigs and sheep raised in their pen, at their mercy."

Upon hearing Shangguan Zhong suddenly understood, and his gaze towards Qin Wu became even more respectful:

"Your Majesty is wise! Your humble servant will take care of it immediately. It's just a pity that the people of the world cannot yet understand Your Majesty's good intentions."

Qin Wu's expression was calm, his tone carrying the arrogance of an emperor:

"I am the Emperor of Great Qin, and my duty is to protect the country and its people. I do not need to seek their understanding in everything."

"Execute this immediately. I will convene a court assembly shortly and order all civil and military officials to fully cooperate with your actions."

Shangguan Zhong and replied in a deep voice, "As you command! Your humble servant will take care of it immediately!"
