Qin State's Great Transformation over Five Years, an Unexpected Development
Little Yellow drove Liu Yi smoothly along the cement roads of Qin State.
In the fields on both sides of the road, high-yield grain crops and spirit rice are spread out in large swaths, and mechanical puppets patrol back and forth to drive away wild beasts that covet the spirit rice;
Some farmers even displayed remarkable agility, moving swiftly through the fields to easily weed.
On the road, pedestrians were dressed neatly and walked quickly, or used their lightness Cultivation Method to rush forward like thunder.
A figure also streaked across the sky.
As Little Yellow drove, he glanced out the window and said:
"Master, look how well the Qin State is developing now; it is more prosperous than many other countries."
Even with the Demonic Flame Sect in power, the people's livelihood shows no signs of decline. Look at these roads and irrigation canals; the imperial court must have organized a large-scale infrastructure project.
Moreover, even after the people were bound to the Fairness System, they did not rebel and overthrow Qin State's rule, demonstrating that the Qin State court's rule was still popular.
Looking at the vibrant scene outside the car, Liu Yi nodded in agreement:
"I originally thought that after the chaos caused by the Demonic Flame Sect, the Qin State were already living in misery."
I never expected to see such a thriving scene before me, with even the farmers in the fields looking forward to the future.
There must be some changes we don't know about. Let me check TikTok first, see if there's any news about changes in the Qin State."
As soon as he finished speaking, he entered TikTok with his Divine Sense and began searching for information related to the Qin State.
In an instant, a massive number of videos popped up on TikTok, Liu Yi's eyes locked onto the video with the most likes, titled "The Tremendous Changes in the Qin State in Five Years".
He clicked on the video, and the first thing he saw was a scene of devastation:
The parched land is crisscrossed with ravines, the rivers have dried up to their bottoms, and the mountains are barren and devoid of vegetation.
Drought triggered famine, leaving people emaciated and with vacant eyes, queuing in long lines for relief porridge.
The scene shifts to another area, where, although there are no signs of famine, the people still look emaciated, and rows of low, thatched huts line the city streets.
Only the mansions of a few wealthy and powerful people were grand and imposing, and even the roads leading to them were uneven dirt tracks, with only a few sections paved with stone slabs.
The video suddenly shifts to the Qin State court distributing the Fairness System, which is used for disaster relief, thus alleviating the famine in one fell swoop;
Subsequently, large-scale water conservancy projects and road repairs were undertaken, and the infrastructure gradually improved.
As time went by, people began to cultivate high-yield grain crops, their lives became increasingly prosperous, and they began to renovate their houses.
The once dilapidated scene has gradually been replaced by vitality and the warmth of everyday life...
After watching the video, Liu Yi understood that the Qin State's dramatic transformation was largely due to the leading role played by the imperial court.
He had some doubts. The Qin State court forcibly conscripted 100,000 beautiful women every year to supply the Demonic Flame Sect. Their actions were extremely cruel, and they should not care about the lives of ordinary people.
Not to mention proactively distributing disaster relief information through the system, they might even intervene to block its spread.
However, the reality was quite the opposite. The Qin State not only did not hinder the system's spread, but instead vigorously promoted it, using it to solve the famine caused by drought.
They also organized the people to build water conservancy projects and repair roads. Their actions were completely unlike those of a court that could commit such atrocities as forcibly conscripting women.
He then clicked on the comments section and began to read them:
"Five years of dramatic changes seemed to have turned the world upside down in the blink of an eye, from the brink of starvation to a life of plenty."
"Since the implementation of the Fairness System, the Qin State has been changing every day, and the rate of change in a single day is greater than the total changes of the previous ten years combined."
"With Fairness System in place, significant changes are to be expected! The beneficial aspects of the system can bring about transformative changes in our lives."
"Thanks to the Fairness System, I almost starved to death back then. It was the system that gave me a way to survive. Now I have a new house and have even cultivated to the Divine Sea Realm."
It always feels like a dream; I'm afraid that when I open my eyes, I'll be back to the days of not having enough to eat or wear.
"His Majesty is so magnanimous that he was willing to share such a divine opportunity as the Fairness System with us, allowing us to change our Fate."
"That hateful Demonic Flame Sect forces His Majesty to offer 100,000 beautiful women every year."
"There's nothing we can do. The Demonic Flame Sect is too strong. We can't fight back at all. We can only stall for time."
Now Your Majesty can only select from those villains, corrupt officials, and families of criminals who cannot be bound to the system.
This is so frustrating! Once we're strong enough, we'll definitely destroy the Demonic Flame Sect.
"It will be a long time before we have the strength to fight against the Demonic Flame Sect. I think once we become stronger, we should simply escape from the Qin State and leave a safe haven for the Demonic Flame Sect."
That's what they say, but it's hard to leave one's homeland.
"It's not time to abandon our families and livelihoods yet. But if that day comes, we'll have no choice but to follow the Yue State in the Eastern Desolation and flee Qin State."
After reading the comments, Liu Yi suddenly understood: the key reason why the people of Qin State did not rise up in rebellion lay with the Qin Emperor.
After discovering the system, he did not monopolize it; instead, he devoted himself to promoting it, using its power to alleviate disasters and stabilize the situation in the Qin State state.
They also promoted tax reform, popularized high-yield grain crops, and hired local people to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction.
When people have hope for the future, they naturally won't rebel.
The 100,000 beautiful women offered annually to the Demonic Flame Sect were selected from villains, convicted officials, and families of criminals who could not be bound to the system.
This will not only serve to punish the wicked and eliminate evil, but also win the hearts of the people.
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! This Qin Emperor is indeed an extraordinary figure, capable of seizing a glimmer of hope in a crisis."
But then a new question arose in his mind: Wasn't the Emperor Qin afraid that the National Guardian Master sent by the Demonic Flame Sect would discover the system's vigorous promotion?
Given the Demonic Flame Sect Sect's inhumane ways, they certainly cannot bind to the system. Once discovered, they will do everything in their power to prevent the system from spreading.
How exactly did Qin Shi Huang manage to keep the National Guardian Immortal Master completely unaware?
Did he directly suppress the cultivators sent by the Demonic Flame Sect?
If this weren't the case, it would be impossible to explain why the system's promotion had been kept secret from the Demonic Flame Sect for so long.
It seems that the clash between the Qin State and the Demonic Flame Sect has only just begun.
What will this Qin Emperor do next? Liu Yi felt a surge of anticipation.
"Master, we're at Wu'an City just ahead. Let's go in and take a look at how well Qin State's cities are being built!" Little Yellow's voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Liu Yi snapped out of his reverie, his gaze sweeping over Wu'an City not far away, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
In the video just now, Wu'an City was a desolate wasteland, but now it is truly right in front of us.
He looked around; outside the city, the distant mountains were shrouded in mist, the green waters flowed gently, and the crops in the fields were growing vigorously.
The people entering the city had rosy complexions and were dressed neatly and cleanly, showing no signs of the emaciated state depicted in the video.
"Alright, let's go into town and take a look, then find an inn to rest."
The vehicle entered the city and drove on the designated lanes.
Liu Yi looked at the houses on both sides and saw that the architecture combined the local characteristics of the Qin State with the style of brick and tile houses. Although the overall layout was similar, it exuded a unique charm.
The shouts of street vendors rose and fell, and some vendors carrying goods even displayed their agility by weaving nimbly through the streets and alleys, creating a bustling scene.
However, there were few pedestrians on the streets, clearly indicating that the famine of the previous years had caused a significant loss of population in Wu'an City.
Even after five years of development, the city's appearance has been completely transformed, but its population size has not yet recovered.
