Chapter 123: New Policies
That day, Chen Zishan couldn’t sleep.
Her mind was filled with her conversations with her master.
If what her master said was true, then the Great Qin Empire had absolutely no chance against the Saint Goya Cultivation Alliance.
Although her master mentioned that the Cultivation Alliance might incorporate them, until that was confirmed, no one knew what would really happen.
What if, in the end, they went on a killing spree and slaughtered all the people of the magic world?
She spent the entire night feeling anxious and fearful.
The next day, after handling state affairs, Chen Zishan returned to the courtyard where her master lived.
“Teacher, I want you to teach me the language, culture, thoughts, and so on from your world. I want to spread these in the magic world…” Chen Zishan said to Li Xiaojun.
Hearing Chen Zishan’s words, Li Xiaojun understood her intentions.
Chen Zishan’s plan was simple: self-assimilation.
Before the Saint Goya Cultivation Alliance arrived, she would assimilate herself and the people of the magic world.
When the Cultivation Alliance eventually came, they would find that the people here were familiar in terms of language, culture, thoughts, and so on.
They would be one of their own!
At that point, would the Cultivation Alliance even dare to exclude them?
After considering Chen Zishan’s words, Li Xiaojun realized that this approach was indeed feasible.
If they could assimilate the people of this world in advance, then the alliance could take over the magic planet without bloodshed.
After thinking it over, Li Xiaojun asked Chen Zishan, “Are you sure you really want to do this? Will you have any regrets?”
“What is there to regret? I am doing this for the good of everyone,” Chen Zishan responded to Li Xiaojun.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaojun contemplated and said, “I can teach you two languages: one is the language used by ordinary people in the alliance, and the other is used by the elite in the alliance.”
“In addition to the languages, I can also teach you about the alliance’s history, literature, and cultivation techniques, among other things…”
“Thank you, Master,” Chen Zishan quickly replied.
After considering Chen Zishan’s words for a moment, Li Xiaojun waved his hand and pulled out many books he brought from the alliance.
These books filled more than half of the room.
“I will first impart our alliance’s language to you, but the knowledge in those books will have to be learned slowly on your own, as this impartation will burden your spirit and may harm your soul.”
“Do not resist,” Li Xiaojun instructed. With a gesture, a stream of information entered Chen Zishan’s soul.
Once she digested this imparted knowledge, she would be able to master two languages: the official language of the Cultivation Alliance and the Chinese language he brought from Earth.
Li Xiaojun’s daughters could all speak Chinese, and thousands of potential great emperors he had trained in the Empress’s palace over the past hundred years also had a basic understanding of it.
“You can spread the official language of the alliance, and selectively share the knowledge from the books I gave you,” Li Xiaojun said to Chen Zishan.
“Okay, thank you, Master,” Chen Zishan replied with a nod.
“By the way, there are also the techniques.”
Li Xiaojun waved his hand again, and three jade slips appeared in his hand.
“This is for you; it contains the three great magical arts of the Human Race in my Cultivation Alliance, which can lead to the true immortal realm at the twelfth tier.”
Li Xiaojun handed the jade slips to Chen Zishan.
“Thank you, Master!” Chen Zishan excitedly accepted the jade slips.
“And here is the method to make the spirit root testing crystal. You can use this method to create the testing crystal, which can detect children with spirit roots. Only those who possess spirit roots can practice the three great magical arts of our Human Race.”
Li Xiaojun handed a book to Chen Zishan.
“Thank you, Master!” Chen Zishan happily accepted the book.
“Alright, you’ve cleaned me out of everything I have. You can leave now,” Li Xiaojun said, waving at Chen Zishan.
Upon hearing Li Xiaojun’s words, Chen Zishan used spatial magic to gather all the books in the room.
After collecting all the books, she did not leave immediately.
“Master.”
“What else is it?”
“Master, I plan to implement new policies, and I might face resistance. So, I hope that when the time comes, you will firmly stand by my side. Is that alright?” Chen Zishan asked Li Xiaojun.
“Of course, who wouldn’t support their own disciple?” Li Xiaojun nodded.
As long as Chen Zishan was willing to promote the culture of the Cultivation Alliance, Li Xiaojun would definitely support her.
One month after Chen Zishan ascended the throne, she officially began to implement the new policies.
First, she abolished the feudal system and established a county-based system.
She set up 36 states, 136 counties, and 4,567 districts across the country.
Then, she “created” a civil service examination system to select officials, replacing most of the ineffective ones.
After that, she mandated the unification of text, culture, and thoughts, even personally creating a new system of writing that she required to be adopted nationwide. Any child over a certain age was required to attend school.
Of course, the groundwork for popular education would take several years to prepare; it wouldn’t show immediate results.
In addition, Chen Zishan rolled out many new policies.
Among the most shocking was the decree by Empress Chen Zishan to introduce a different cultivation path distinct from magic—cultivation techniques.
This was incredibly groundbreaking.
Chen Zishan didn’t just speak about it; she also provided the cultivation techniques.
Moreover, the spirit root testing crystals successfully identified those with spirit roots, and those individuals successfully cultivated true Qi!
This situation undoubtedly offered a new path for those who could not practice magic.
Years later,
Chen Zishan’s new policies achieved unprecedented results.
Uniformity in transportation, writing, and measurement was almost complete.
Especially in foundational education, although it hadn’t reached the point where all children nationwide could attend school,
Chen Zishan had already popularized the official written language of the Cultivation Alliance.
Additionally, the civil service examination system had broken the aristocracy’s monopoly.
It was believed that as education spread, the new generation would grow up to completely dismantle the nobility’s hold on power.
In summary, Chen Zishan’s new policies were highly successful, nearly transforming the entire structure of Human society.
Of course, Chen Zishan’s reforms could not have been implemented without Li Xiaojun’s support.
Because her new policies offended many vested interests,
if it hadn’t been for Li Xiaojun’s relentless efforts to eliminate those secretly resisting forces, Chen Zishan’s reforms would have been impossible to execute.
Over these years, Li Xiaojun had eliminated hundreds of thousands; anyone who dared oppose the new policies would be discovered and executed by Li Xiaojun.
Naturally, with Li Xiaojun’s thunderous methods, almost no one in the Human Race dared to oppose Chen Zishan any longer.
She had managed to achieve a level of authority even greater than Qin Shi Huang on Earth.
