302: All-star lineup.
“A great start!”
Closing Yu Qian’s attributes,
Qin Yang looked at the recruitment mirror again.
The land of Kyushu is vast, and three civil officials are far from enough.
Now that Imperial Power is abundant, he can recruit more.
Qin Yang estimated that with 20 civil officials, he could control the entire Kyushu.
However, Si Zhenfeng had only just begun to set up his network, and there weren't many important positions.
Moreover, a large-scale blood change would also cause a strong backlash from the great families.
If not handled well, a rebellion could break out immediately.
“Let’s draw ten more,”
Qin Yang mused.
Currently, the growth rate of Imperial Power could reach over 170,000.
But he still needed to be meticulous and use it where it mattered most.
After all, this was a “blue bar” that couldn't be quickly replenished.
He had to leave enough in reserve.
Spending 30% and saving 70% was the safest approach.
Thinking of this, Qin Yang once again invested Imperial Power into the bright mirror.
100,000, 200,000, 300,000… Imperial Power flowed out like water.
In the recruitment mirror, scene after scene flashed by.
At this moment, those ephemeral stars from Chinese history once again shone brightly in the Human Emperor Domain.
As one capable minister after another emerged from the mirror,
an “All-Star” team appeared in the Zuo Huang Pavilion.
Looking at this group of people before him, even Qin Yang felt a surge of emotion.
He swallowed, looking at the ten people in front of him.
Yu Qian, Liu Bowen, Zhang Juzheng, Guan Zhong, Shang Yang, Yao Guangxiao, Lu Su, Xun Yu, Fan Li, Zhang Liang.
“What kind of people are these?!”
“If it weren’t for them originating from My profession, having this group of people together would truly be a clash of Sages!”
Qin Yang took a deep breath.
If not for these units being inherent to his profession, possessing absolute loyalty and obedience,
Qin Yang would have to expend considerable effort just to keep them in check.
After all, the more capable a person, the more difficult they are to control.
At this moment,
Qin Yang hadn't yet checked their skills.
But just seeing the Aura of this “All-Star” lineup standing together,
he knew that his grand endeavor was secure.
Even without so-called “skills,” relying solely on their innate talents, these ten individuals could help Qin Yang firmly establish his rule.
“With a court full of heroic civil and military officials, how can I lose?”
Qin Yang praised in his heart, and began to check the skills of the other nine people one by one.
Liu Bowen: Deduce National Luck, overall National Luck increases by 1000%.
Zhang Juzheng: Grand Master, probability of citizens Awakening advanced professions increases by 100%.
Guan Zhong: Unify the World, for every 1% expansion of territory, all civil official skill effects increase by 1%.
Shang Yang: Bloody Military Merits, citizen experience value increases by 100%.
Yao Guangxiao: Black-Robed Prime Minister, enemy’s overall Luck decreases by 500%.
Lu Su: Alliance, allies can enjoy 20% of the Imperial Dynasty’s bonuses.
Xun Yu: Drive the Tiger, can Summon Hero on behalf of the Emperor and remotely designate the Summoning location.
Fan Li: Sage of Commerce, for every transaction made by a citizen, the Imperial Dynasty’s treasury will receive 20% of the profit from that transaction.
Zhang Liang: Sage of Strategy, identifies all unfavorable strategies and provides the optimal solution.
“I can go AFK now.”
After reading the skills of all the civil officials, Qin Yang sighed in his heart.
There was experience boosting, Luck boosting, and production boosting.
All sorts of strategies were even bundled for him with one click.
With these ten people, Qin Yang could even hold court in the Bronze Sparrow Terrace.
“It’s good. Governing the world is not My forte. I will leave it to My beloved ministers; they have more experience.”
Qin Yang felt delighted.
If these people had arrived earlier,
he could have even delegated the naval battles near Kyushu.
Compared to his own arrangements, Zhang Liang, as the “Sage of Strategy,” would likely have better plans.
And with these individuals, he could focus on leveling up and expanding into broader territories.
Thinking of this, Qin Yang faced the ten civil officials and said:
“My beloved ministers, you are all wise talents from various timelines who have governed the world.”
“Today, you gather here to assist Me in establishing an eternal Imperial Dynasty.”
“Currently, the world is not yet settled.”
“I want to scatter you across the territories of Kyushu to jointly achieve this great endeavor.”
“I hope that each of My beloved ministers will utilize their strengths and quickly cultivate their own disciples and subordinates.”
“The foundation of the Imperial Dynasty lies in My hands, and also at your feet.”
As the Supreme Emperor, Qin Yang had long passed the Emperor's probation period, and naturally, he would not be intimidated by these renowned historical figures.
As soon as these words were spoken, clouds churned within the Human Emperor Domain, and the heavens and earth changed color.
With the “Blazing Sun” before them, even the multitude of stars that had shone throughout history paled in comparison.
Yu Qian led the bow, saying, “Your subject is willing to serve the Imperial Dynasty with all his heart and soul, until death!”
“We are willing to serve the Imperial Dynasty with all our heart and soul!”
The civil officials bowed and shouted in unison.
Qin Yang nodded with satisfaction, looking at his ministers, a sense of grandeur swelling in his heart.
He wondered, which emperor could assemble such an All-Star lineup?
The lands of Kyushu, await My conquest!
Qin Yang said to the Imperial Guards beside him, “Give all information about the ten beloved ministers, excluding their skills, to Si Zhenfeng. Have him arrange their positions. Every state, except Lizhou, must have an important post assigned.”
“Your subject obeys,” the Imperial Guard respectfully bowed and retreated into the shadows… Within half a month, the civil officials, under Si Zhenfeng’s arrangement, took up their new posts.
They were like steel nails, driven into the important positions across Kyushu.
Legislation, military affairs, logistics, and material reserves were all controlled by Qin Yang’s people.
And these ten significant changes in positions also caused some turmoil within the System.
Officials from various regions speculated that the core of Kyushu had undergone earth-shattering changes.
In a teahouse in Shangjing City, three sons of officials gathered, chatting about sensitive topics despite the “No Discussion of State Affairs” sign.
“Brothers, there’s been a huge change. My dad said yesterday that the Nine Gates Commander of our capital has been replaced.”
“That’s a big deal! How come there’s no news? Who replaced him?”
“He was replaced by someone named Yu Qian.”
“Which alley does this person belong to? I’ve never heard of him.”
“He’s not from around here at all. He’s from Hongwu City.”
“Hongwu City… it wouldn’t be someone from the Qin Family again, would it?”
“I think it’s highly likely. This Qin Family, they’re just too strange!”
At this, the Young Masters all gasped.
Half a year ago, the Qin Family was merely a local strongman that couldn't even enter their Dharma Eye.
But now, they were a top Family in Kyushu that no one dared to provoke.
At one dinner table, two Emperors could sit together at the same time.
Even the patriarchs of the Eight Great Families were not qualified to sit at that table.
The three Young Masters in the teahouse
were once fearless rascals.
But when the “Qin Family” was mentioned, they all became reticent and dared not speak much.
“Qiu Shao, you mentioned last time that Si Zhenfeng wanted to recommend Qin Yang as an acting Sage. Did that happen?”
The young man called Qiu Shao shook his head and said, “It might not be an acting Sage.”
The other two Young Masters breathed a sigh of relief: “I knew it! How can someone be a Sage at 20? Si Zhenfeng is just power-hungry, he’s gone crazy.”
“Exactly, even if Qin Yang achieves immense military merits, he can’t disregard the rules.”
At this, the young man referred to as “Qiu Shao” sighed and said, “He might replace Han Chen and become a formal Sage.”
Pfft!
The two Young Masters simultaneously spat out their tea.
