Chapter 163: Expanding the Army with Adequate Grain Supplies

Chapter 162: Liu Ye's New Accounting Method

"If someone tries to please those in power by altering a number or two, or if they simply choose the best locations, what then?" Chen Xi couldn’t ignore this issue. Sometimes, a single error in data could lead to disaster for an entire region.

"We'll divide the years into normal years and disaster years. As for...

Chapter 161: Household Registration and Agricultural Taxation

Chapter 160: Preparing the Administrative Structure for the Office

Li Ru could guarantee that he had never encountered a household registration system similar to the one Chen Xi proposed. As he thought it through, he couldn't find a single flaw.

Chapter 159: Trying Out a New Household Registration System

Seeing that Guan Ping was unharmed, Liu Bei immediately put on a stern face. "Explain what happened. How did you get into a fight?"

Chapter 158: Crossbows? Are You Courting Death?

Ever since Chen Xi kicked open the door, the scholars downstairs had started to quietly slip away. By the time the chaotic footsteps echoed from outside, there were barely any customers left in the brothel—they weren’t fools.

“Young master, you should leave quickly. Don’t risk your life for someone like m...

Chapter 157: Risking It with Principles

Chen Xi was typically not one to be reckless, but when he decided to let loose, he did it with abandon.

Besides, Chen Xi was playing his part so well,...

Chapter 156: Occasionally Taking a Risk

After skipping work, Chen Xi unusually didn’t go home. Instead, he wandered aimlessly around Fenggao City.

Although classes had already begun with ...

Chapter 155: Stirring the Pot from All Directions

Gongsun Zan would never have imagined that while he was fighting tooth and nail at the frontlines, his supposed subordinate’s subordinate was already betting his future on some trivial matter. One can only wonder what Gongsun Zan would think if he knew.

But even if Gongsun Zan did know, he might have just laugh...

Chapter 154: Betting on the War in the Northern Lands

Chen Xi was far too idle. Many who saw Chen Xi leisurely going about his daily routine couldn't help but feel this way. Thus, Liu Bei, in an effort to maintain harmony among his ministers, had to suppress Chen Xi a bit, not wanting him to be too laid-back. After all, hadn't Lu Su and Liu Ye been working frantically, da...

Chapter 153: Walking the Night Road Often Leads to Encountering Ghosts

The administrative affairs in Taishan were relatively leisurely. For instance, Chen Xi was currently napping in the administrative hall. With the warmer weather, he spent less time lounging at home. Of course, this also served as an example for the newly arrived Jia Xu and Li You—if he didn’t show up every day, tho...

Chapter 152: Your Positions Have Long Been Reserved

After the banquet, Chen Xi personally escorted his two friends to the residences he had prepared for them. Meanwhile, Fan Jian took Cai Yan to the temporary residence prepared for her.

"Humiliation, this is utter humiliation!" Lei Qian roared, his...

Chapter 30: Did You Get Your Head Stuck in a Door?

After the Discipline Elder announced the beginning of the life-and-death duel, he promptly stepped off the Life-and-Death Stage. Immediately, the surroundings of the stage erupted with the energy of a formation, creating a dark yellow barrier that enveloped the entire platform.

In the blink of an eye, the dark ye...

Chapter 29: The Life-and-Death Duel Begins

On the Life-and-Death Stage in front of the Discipline Hall of the Wanxiang Sect, Lei Qian stood tall, looking toward the Discipline Elder and said, "Discipline Elder, could it be that Lin Qian has fled? According to the sect's rules, those who flee from a life-and-death duel are to be treated as traitors."

"Ther...

At the center of the Life and Death Stage stood an e...

Chapter 27: The Nirvana Flame Bath

Despite the rumors swirling outside, Lin Qian remained secluded in his room, rarely making an appearance. Wei Wushuang, his master, was curious about what his disciple was doing day in and day out, but he refrained from interrupting. He and his junior brother, Qin Wushuang, had been discussing Lin Qian's impending life-and-de...

Chapter 26: Thunder and Frost

"Your Majesty, what exactly are 'potato chips'?" Zhuge Ming asked, searching his mind for the term but finding no answer, prompting him to inquire further from Lin Qian.

"They're a snack made from potatoes. Let me explain, and maybe we can figure out how to create them here," Lin Qian replied, suddenly struck by the th...

Chapter 25: Sliced Like Chips

With Wei Wushuang’s strength not fully restored, he couldn’t offer much help to Lin Qian in this matter. All Qin Wushuang could do was prevent Lei Heng from personally taking action.

Their master, the old sect leader of Wanxiang Sect, had gone into seclusion fifteen years ago, seeking a breakthrough, and ha...

Chapter 24: Life-and-Death Duel

“Senior brother, you…” Qin Wushuang looked ahead, his usual composed demeanor as the sect master shattered by the shock in his voice.

Today, he had come to visit his senior brother Wei Wushuang, but as soon as he entered the courtyard, he was stunned to see his once frail senior brother—now with a full ...

Chapter 23: The Sword Pavilion and Ye Xin

At the top of a towering mountain in the Divine Sword Sect, where a simple sword pavilion stands, a young woman sat quietly inside.

Her hair, as black as ink, cascaded down her back like a waterfall. The young woman had delicate features and skin as fair as snow, with a beauty that could enchant nations. Her ex...

Chapter 22: Recovery

Wei Wushuang sat on the edge of the bed, staring in bewilderment at the strange, half-transparent vial in his hand. The emerald-green liquid inside swirled gently, adding to his confusion.

He had seen his disciple pull out mysterious potions like this back on Prison Island. In this world, soul cultivators typical...

Chapter 21: Time to Take Your Medicine

Lin Qian pushed his speed to the limit, the air around him seeming to shatter as he tore through it, creating a whirlwind that propelled him up the mountain steps in an instant.

Reaching the summit, he gazed upon the inner regions of the Wanxiang Sect, where countless pavilions were interconnected by hanging brid...

Chapter 20: Return to the Sect

The Bashan Myriad Elephants Trial proceeded with great enthusiasm under Lin Qian's supervision.

Seated at the center of the grand observation platform, Lin Qian and Ye Nanxin sat side by side in the front row. At this moment, no one from the Ye family dared to speak ill of Lin Qian anymore. Some members of...

Chapter 19: The Emperor's Decision

In the empty room within the Ye residence of Bashan City, a young man's figure suddenly appeared.

Even though the Huaxia Empire was rich with an overwhelming amount of spiritual energy, training in such an environment was less effective compared to training outside it. When Lin Qian left the empire, he would re...

Chapter 18: What It Means to Regret

After leaving the Huaxia Hall, Lin Qian and his entourage were surrounded by a bright white light, disappearing from the spot in an instant.

The Huaxia Empire, being Lin Qian's dominion, allowed him to move anywhere within it at will.

He had also bestowed this ability upon Zhao Long, Zhuge Ming, and the f...

Chapter 17: The Legion Commanders and the Prime Minister

At this moment, Lin Qian found himself surrounded by a blood-red aura, within which ancient and mysterious runes flickered with a faint glow, constantly sweeping across his body.

"It seems like this is some sort of formation affecting me, trying to probe something," Lin Qian mused as he looked down at the blood...

Chapter 16: Awakening of the Martial Soul

"Sister, something has happened!" A man rushed down into the distant dungeon, far from Ba Mountain City, with a look of urgency on his face.

When he reached the woman standing by the water prison and saw the condition of the man inside, his expression froze, and he gritted his teeth. "Brother-in-law, how dare t...

Chapter 15: Now This Is Overwhelming Numbers

“Young Emperor, such empty boasts don’t work on me. Look at the faces of your three junior brothers—they’re already filled with fear, which tells me that the Vientiane Sect didn’t send anyone else here.” The scar-faced youth twirled the artifact dagger in his hand, wearing a smug expression as if he had s...
