Chapter 641: Chapter 261: Developing the Minor World! Dunruo: Great King, the Eldest Imperial Son’s Men Act Again! (2)
In the Zhao Mansion underground at Sha Village, a stronghold of the Yan Court Secret Agent was constructed, protecting Zhao Feng’s mother.
“My Lord.”
“The people are inside.”
Ying Bu respectfully led the way, pointing to a stone chamber.
“Hmm.”
Zhao Feng walked over and looked into the stone chamber.
There were dozens of men and women, all descendants of Wang Wan and their wives and concubines.
Wang Wan was old; as a grand Chancellor, his family naturally prospered.
Although the beheading three months ago annihilated ninety percent of his family.
Now, only these remained.
“Were there any who escaped?”
Zhao Feng glanced around, then withdrew his gaze.
“Reporting to My Lord.”
“All four sons, seven grandsons, five granddaughters of Wang Wan, and their wives and concubines are here.”
“Not a single one escaped.”
“They were clever, hiding in Qi State and Chu State, thinking they were safe.” Ying Bu sneered.
Zhao Feng nodded, his expression without a ripple, then coldly said, “What are you waiting for?”
“I understand.”
Ying Bu immediately comprehended.
With a wave of his hand.
Hou Li and the dark guards outside the stone chamber immediately moved, killing Wang Wan’s descendants inside.
And Zhao Feng didn’t even take another look, he just turned and left.
All of them were bound hand and foot, as the dark guards rushed in for the slaughter.
There were only cries for mercy and screams.
To them, it was like lambs to the slaughter.
Zhao Feng didn’t spare anyone, be they adult men or children.
Enemies are enemies; the hatred of annihilating clans cannot be forgotten.
Zhao Feng, having lived two lives, had read many novels, but Zhao Feng would never give enemies such an opportunity as “thirty years east of the river, thirty years west”.
Since they’re enemies, he must be thorough and eradicate them completely.
This isn’t about cruelty.
It’s the way of the world.
If the roles were reversed, with Wang Wan in power and himself in exile, Wang Wan would certainly not spare his children.
Zhao Feng held no Holy Mother sympathy!
“My Lord.”
“All have been dealt with, not a single survivor.”
After a while.
Ying Bu came to report.
“As long as it’s done.”
“Wang Wan is already dealt with.”
“Increase the focus on Huai Zhuang, Chunyu Yue, and the ministers of Fusu’s faction.” Zhao Feng said solemnly.
“I understand.” Ying Bu immediately accepted the order.
“Also.”
“The medicinal materials and refining materials I previously instructed on.”
“Do not stop the acquisitions.” Zhao Feng added.
“Please rest assured, My Lord.”
“Chief Han has always been handling these matters.”
“It has never stopped. Each stronghold’s warehouse is already filled to the brim.” Ying Bu replied with a smile.
“Money is external; only by enhancing strength does one find the fundamental root.”
“The future is long, and the world is vast.” Zhao Feng said slowly.
“I understand.”
“Following My Lord, one day I will achieve longevity and unite the world.” Ambition appeared in Ying Bu’s eyes.
Ever since being saved by Zhao Feng, his life belonged to Zhao Feng, absolute loyalty.
Moreover, everything he now had was granted by Zhao Feng.
“My Lord.”
“If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave first, not to disturb My Lord’s rest.” Ying Bu said respectfully.
As Ying Bu was about to leave.
Zhao Feng suddenly thought of something.
“Now the Minor World is gradually restoring its vitality, a thousand-mile area is already substantial. If spiritual medicine can be cultivated in it, dead soldiers trained.”
“Or perhaps creating a Martial Arts World within this Minor World, a world belonging solely to me, which would have unlimited potential.”
“And to develop this Minor World, it starts with the population.” Zhao Feng mused to himself.
Beside him, Ying Bu, perceiving Zhao Feng’s contemplation, remained silent, waiting respectfully.
“Throughout the world, there are countless refugees.”
“From among these, gather all those under fifty, regardless of gender.”
“Find an uninhabited place to settle them.”
“The location will be set near Yunzhong City.”
“Of course, everything must be done cautiously.”
“It must not be discovered by Qin.”
“You carry my hand decree, let Zhang Han and Tu Sui lead troops to cover, ensure no one notices.” Zhao Feng said steadily.
“I accept the order.” Ying Bu had no words, he just accepted the order straightforwardly.
Although it was unclear why Zhao Feng suddenly issued such an order, as the master of the Yan Court, there would be no questioning the Lord’s decree, only resolute execution.
Moreover, this matter even required mobilizing troops for cover, showcasing Zhao Feng’s emphasis.
“Go.” Zhao Feng waved a hand.
“Yes.” Ying Bu respectfully retreated.
After he left.
Zhao Feng was also filled with anticipation.
“A thousand miles of land can accommodate millions of people.”
“But for now, it depends on how many people Yanting can gather,” Zhao Feng muttered to himself.
In this era, though.
War is rampant.
Moreover, Qin has launched full-scale conquests, annihilating the Three Jins and Yan.
Even though Qin governs by law, the annexed lands are not so easily stabilized. Qin can only suppress them with the military in the short term, maintaining temporary control over those territories.
The hearts of the nobles and those who wish to restore their states are not so easily won over.
These are matters King of Qin will attend to only after unifying the land.
So, the Land of the Divine Continent is filled with countless refugees.
Who knows how many people live in constant fear, unable to fill their stomachs.
People are the least valuable!
Zhao Feng ordered Yanting to gather the refugees, which might also be a meritorious act that saves lives.
First, to save lives.
Second, to strengthen his control over his Minor World and cultivate his nation’s successor.
Killing two birds with one stone!
At this moment!
“Master.”
“Several madams have finished their preparations.”
The housekeeper came to report outside Zhao Feng’s hall.
“Understood.”
“Tell them I will visit them one by one,” Zhao Feng smiled slightly, a smile appearing on his face.
After three months in seclusion.
It’s time to enjoy a little.
The next day!
The council meeting commenced!
The Hundred Officials were already waiting outside the hall.
When Zhao Feng arrived, he immediately attracted many ministers’ attention.
“Today, the sun must have risen in the west; Zhao Feng actually attended court.”
“He hasn’t attended for more than three months, truly unprecedented in the court.”
“This shows the Great King’s heavy favor towards him. If it were any of us, we’d perhaps have been punished by now.”
“Clearly, Zhao Feng must have had the Great King’s approval for his three-month absence.”
…
As Zhao Feng arrived, attracting attention, many courtiers began whispering to each other.
Returning to Xianyang, not attending court for three months.
Indeed, a great rarity.
There has never been such a precedent.
Of course.
If we speak of past Qin Kings, there really was.
In the past, King Huiwen of Qin, Ying Si, did not attend court for three years, to lull the old noble families—this is historical lore.
“Oh, isn’t this Lord Wu’an?”
“Decided to attend court?”
Upon seeing Zhao Feng, Han Fei immediately stepped forward to tease him.
“Isn’t this our Chancellor of Qin?”
“Now that you’ve become Chancellor, your identity has changed and you look younger,” Zhao Feng retorted with a smile.
“You really never spare anyone with your words.”
Listening to Zhao Feng, Han Fei responded with a face full of helplessness.
“Greetings, My Lord.”
Xiao He approached with a sense of reverence, bowing respectfully to Zhao Feng.
“Being fellow ministers, there’s no need for such formality,” Zhao Feng smiled.
The implication being Xiao He need not be overly dramatic.
“If it weren’t for My Lord’s recommendation, I wouldn’t be able to serve in Xianyang, and I’m truly grateful to My Lord,” Xiao He swiftly shifted gears to express his gratitude.
“How about it?”
“Xiao He?” Zhao Feng smiled, then looked at Han Fei.
“A talent.”
“An outstanding person.”
“Your discerning eye is exceptional,” Han Fei immediately praised with a smile.
As for Xiao He.
He was naturally a hundred percent satisfied.
With Xiao He, all his previous duties were fully entrusted to Xiao He, and he even handled them better than before, which undoubtedly allowed him to devote more effort to his position as Chancellor.
“This proves I didn’t harm you,” Zhao Feng laughed heartily.
“Continue recommending talents in the future.”
“I trust your judgment,” Han Fei smiled, straightforwardly encouraging Zhao Feng to continue recommending talented individuals.
Now that he had become the Left Minister, his authority was greater than before, and naturally, he needed more talents.
With Wang Wan dead, many official positions in the court were vacant, most of which were to be managed by the Left Minister, and Han Fei naturally wanted to use his own people.
“Alright.”
“If there are capable individuals, I will definitely recommend them,” Zhao Feng immediately nodded.
At this moment!
Wang Jian approached slowly, smiling: “Are things all settled?”
“Father-in-law.”
“Everything’s settled,” Zhao Feng smiled.
“Today’s court meeting is not simple.”
“Perhaps you must seize the opportunity well this time to advance further,” Wang Jian whispered.
“Looks like today’s discussion is about Chu?” Zhao Feng’s eyes flashed with realization.
Yesterday at Zhangtai Palace, the King of Qin didn’t specify.
…
