Chapter 774 Chapter 316: Remnants Resigned! Cultural Unification! National Power Increased! Treasure Box Reward!
Four Major National Policies.
Nine Provinces and Thirty-Six Counties.
Academic Palaces established throughout the empire.
The entire Great Qin Empire entered a rapid development process.
And this was just the implementation of policies made public by Holy Decrees.
Yet in secret,
Paper,
Movable type printing,
Cataloging of books,
All books from across the empire return to the Qin Capital, where they are stored in the national treasury by the Left Minister's Mansion, and books suitable for teaching are selected, reprinted with new characters, and distributed to Academic Palaces across the land.
In the blink of an eye!
Ten days have passed.
Today, Xianyang is unprecedentedly lively.
Outside the Royal Palace, red decorations abound.
The Imperial Guard Army watches over the official routes, and the Crown Prince's imperial carriage departs from the Royal Palace.
Over a hundred carriages leave the Royal Palace, each loaded with rare treasures and exotic goods.
Today.
The day the Great Qin Princess marries.
She is to wed Li You, the eldest son of today's Right Chancellor, Li Si, stirring the entirety of Xianyang.
Even though the court ministers are busy, they all set aside their duties today to attend the grand wedding at the Tingwei Mansion.
The legitimate princess is getting married.
A princess who had been lost for many years and had never received royal favor; one can imagine how grand this wedding feast will be.
Outside the Li Mansion,
Li Si personally stands at the mansion entrance to welcome the guests.
"The Shaofu has arrived."
"Please."
"Congratulations to Prime Minister Li."
"Haha, please take a seat inside, everything is arranged."
"Shangjiangjun, please."
...
In front of the mansion,
Countless ministers come and go, in a constant stream.
On both sides of the official routes, many common folk pause to witness this grand event.
As time passes,
The sound of joyful music fills the air.
The Crown Prince's imperial carriage arrives.
Surrounded by the Crown Prince's personal army,
And leading the way in front of the carriage, Li You rides a tall horse with a look of indescribable excitement on his face.
"Father."
"We are back."
Li You dismounts excitedly.
"Yes." Li Si nods emphatically.
The next moment,
The curtain of the carriage is drawn aside.
Zhao Feng steps down from the carriage first.
Following closely,
Zhao Ying, dressed in a black and red wedding gown, covers her face with a fan.
Today, Zhao Ying is stunningly beautiful, captivating the nation.
"Come."
Zhao Feng smiles, extending his hand to his sister.
"Yes."
Zhao Ying gently responds, placing her hand in her brother's.
With her brother's guidance, Zhao Ying slowly descends from the carriage.
"Welcome the Crown Prince."
"Welcome the Crown Princess Consort."
Li Si steps forward, bowing deeply.
"Prime Minister Li, no need for formalities."
"Today, there is no Crown Prince, only a brother sending off his sister in marriage." Zhao Feng smiles slightly.
"Yes, yes." Li Si responds with a smile.
"Enter the mansion."
Zhao Feng says.
Holding Zhao Ying's hand, they walk slowly into the Tingwei Mansion.
Li You gazes lovingly, feeling immensely excited at this moment, as he is finally welcoming the woman he loves into his home.
As Zhao Feng arrives,
Ren Xiao approaches on horseback, followed by the imperial carriage of the First Emperor.
"Welcome Your Majesty."
"Welcome the Empress."
Li Si immediately steps forward.
Everyone around joins in to pay respects.
Amidst the resounding calls,
The carriage opens.
Ying Zheng, holding Xia Dong'er's hand, steps down.
Back in Xianyang, Xia Dong'er appears much more radiant, clearly nourished by daily companionship with her beloved.
"Everyone, be at ease."
"Today is my daughter's happy day; no need for restraint." Ying Zheng laughs as he speaks.
"Your Majesty."
"Please."
Li Si steps forward to lead the way.
Inside the mansion,
The hall is filled with distinguished guests.
Everyone is a senior court minister.
For one reason, Li Si holds the powerful position of the Right Chancellor of Great Qin, as the most prominent minister.
Secondly, the Li Family is welcoming the legitimate princess as a bride today, with the First Emperor and Empress personally attending.
Everyone knows that the Li Family will become a powerful and noble clan within Great Qin, second only to the Wang Family.
Among the senior positions,
Ying Zheng and Xia Dong'er take their seats.
Zhao Feng and his wife sit at a side position.
Li Si and his wife, who are also visibly joyful, take seats a step lower than Ying Zheng.
During the wedding feast,
The ceremony of bowing to each other and honoring the heavens and earth takes place.
These are the ancient traditions of the Huaxia people.
The scale of this wedding feast is grand, much larger than when Zhao Feng married Wang Yan in the past.
For his only sister's marriage, Zhao Feng naturally attaches great importance.
After the wedding feast concludes,
The next day!
Many ministers of Great Qin quietly depart Xianyang.
The commanders of the five major military camps of Great Qin already entered the army with the Tianxuan Sub-Mirror, executing Zhao Feng's decree to divide the Sub-Mirrors, allowing over a million elite soldiers of Great Qin to receive Martial Arts Skills from the Tianxuan Mirror.
Great Qin's new era of Martial Arts is about to begin.
Furthermore,
With the selection of the Nine Provinces' State Governors confirmed, in just a few days, eight State Governors leave Xianyang for their respective jurisdictions.
Though the Nine Provinces are now delineated, they are still in need of development, requiring their governance.
A time of great governance, a time to achieve merit, no one wants to fall behind.
And Zhao Feng's promise and that spur, none of them can forget.
As time gradually passes,
The implementation of Qin's national policies proceeds,
A month passes.
Two months pass.
With the State Governors in place, under their governance, each Prefectural Governor is appointed to govern a county, utilizing talent and loyal officials.
Proceeding in an orderly manner,
And the appointments for the Prefectural Governor positions in the Thirty-Six Counties, upon reports from the State Governors, are personally overseen by Zhao Feng, who naturally rejects any with a loyalty score below 70.
A Prefectural Governor is a position of power, only fit for loyal officials.
In essence,
With Zhao Feng's intervention,
The entire officialdom of Great Qin is undergoing a major transformation.
Wei Territory.
In an underground chamber,
The Remnants of the Six States gathered here look extremely somber.
Apparently,
They have not fared well over the past half-year.
