Xia Ji's overbearing voice echoed in the hall.
Lu Buwei was shocked.
He never thought that Xia Ji's method of dealing with the eight kings would be so simple.
If they don't obey, kill them all?
But how?
Could it be that Great Xia was not what it seemed on the surface?
Was there more to it?
But why didn't the Network receive any news?
One had to know.
The net that Lu Buwei controlled was something that he had spent decades building.
Along the trade route, it had already spread all over the world.
They were also connected to the martial world. There were even several Wandering Know-it-all who were secretly part of the network.
However, he had never heard of any power that Great Xia had that could deal with the seven kings.
However, Xia Ji's expression showed that he was very certain about this.
It seemed.
He had a large number of men and soldiers in his hands.
It was just that it had not been exposed yet.
Or rather, he wanted to throw out all of his secrets when the Seven Kings were at their peak?
Then, he thought of the one-armed Sword God who had been circulating around in the past few days.
Lu Buwei was even more shocked.
However…
A wise man thinks much.
He had been smart all his life, but he had been muddle-headed all this time. He did not expect that he and Xia Ji were communicating through different channels.
Xia Ji was able to say that because he had the system.
He could even summon Land Immortals as long as he could continuously gather power and increase the fate of the country.
As a result, he could summon more and more characters and items.
At that time, be it the seven vassal kings or others, they would all have the confidence to suppress him.
That was why Xia Ji was so certain.
However, in Lu Buwei's eyes, Great Xia had many hidden secrets.
The sudden appearance of the one-armed Sword God made him even more convinced of this idea.
This caused Lu Buwei to feel that something was wrong with Great Xia.
He had even thought of the possibility that there might be a backup plan left behind by Human Emperor Xia.
However, Xia Ji wasn't clear about his thoughts.
Xia Ji didn't say much, but looked at Lu Buwei and said,""In that case, are you willing to submit?"
Lu Buwei seemed to have woken up from a dream. He quickly bowed and said respectfully,""Your humble subject greets Your Majesty!"
Now that he was a subject, it was different from before.
It meant that he had completely decided to place his future on Great Xia.
After all, Xia Ji was right.
This world did not belong to the seven kings, but to Great Xia!
Seeing Lu Buwei like this…
Xia Ji nodded and said indifferently,""I heard that you control the largest business in the world and are a business genius. I plan to let you solve the problem of the empty national treasury!”
"But!"
"Just now, zhen explained your doubts to you, and you have to agree to one of zhen's conditions.”
"Within half a year, not only must we fill up the Grand Xia treasury, we must triple it!”
"Otherwise, you can find another place."
These words didn't sound like recruitment at all, but more like a difficult problem.
However, Lu Buwei knew that his performance and attitude just now had been too arrogant.
The fact that the Human Emperor was able to explain it to him was already enough to show that he cherished talent.
The difficult problem now was just to see his own methods.
Earning money was a piece of cake for Lu Buwei.
Thinking of this, Lu Buwei nodded respectfully and said,""Thank you, Your Majesty. If I can't triple the national treasury within half a year, I won't have the face to stay here.”
Hearing this, Xia Ji's expression became much better.
He said lightly," Since you are the prime minister of Qin, you must also be proficient in politics. I will set up a cabinet, and you can become a cabinet minister.”
Hearing this.
Lu Buwei was even more delighted.
He immediately agreed.
Then, he bid farewell and headed to the State of Qin.
Instead, he went back to pack up his belongings and prepared to resign from the position of Prime Minister of Qin and move to Great Xia.
Xia Ji chuckled as he watched Lu Buwei leave.
A slap and a sweet date worked every time.
Now that Lu Buwei had taken action, the problem of the national treasury had been resolved.
After that, they started a large number of schools and created the imperial examination system. At the same time, they once again weakened the monopoly of the aristocratic families on knowledge.
The reason why aristocratic families had the status to lift heavy things as if they were light.
It was not only because they had a lot of financial resources, but also because they monopolized knowledge.
Most of the books and secret manuals were from the aristocratic families.
This could be said to be a malignant tumor of Great Xia.
The seven vassal kings had all followed suit and started to weaken the aristocratic families, starting the imperial examination system for many years.
However, Great Xia had yet to begin. They were still using the old laws from a hundred years ago.
Because of this, Xia Ji decided to re-enact the law.
However, when he thought of this…
Xia Ji felt a headache coming on.
Even though Li Si had neglected his duties, he was still a legalist.
Bao Zheng was good at settling cases, but he was not a Legalist.
Simply put, if he was asked to do things according to the law, he would be meticulous.
Asking him to make laws was a little difficult for him.
Right now, they still needed a person from the Legalism School who could make laws for Great Xia.
He also had to speed up the disaster relief work.
As long as Great Xia became prosperous again, the seven vassal kings wouldn't dare to make any moves for the time being.
Xia Ji briefly sorted out the current situation.
However, he also knew that this matter could not be rushed. It would take some time to see the results.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
The first wave of news came from those who had been sent out to provide disaster relief.
The first to be suppressed were the bandits.
Under the bloodbath of the Great Xia army, they were all massacred.
After killing the raiders, he began to appease the villagers.
And help them start to rebuild their homes.
The people led by the Minister of Works, Wang Anshi, also sent news.
The work relief program had already begun, and the citizens were all very enthusiastic.
Coupled with the intervention of the Mo family's craftsmanship, the construction progress became even faster.
As a result, a large amount of money was taken out from the national treasury and invested into the disaster relief.
The remaining treasury was once again emptied.
Fortunately, Lu Buwei had already arrived at the Imperial City.
Then, he began to take over the businesses in the Imperial City.
With the support of a large amount of financial resources, they quickly took control of all the businesses in Great Xia.
Other than that, he also started working with famous merchants like Shen Wansan, Wang Yuanbao, and Kang Xi.
A large number of goods circulated between the seven kingdoms and Great Xia.
In just a few days, Great Xia began to prosper.
Countless silver coins were sent to the national treasury, and the Great Xia national treasury began to fill up.
However, if he wanted to completely revive Great Xia's trade route, he still needed a lot of money.
More importantly, they needed a large number of people to escort them.
Fortunately, Lu Buwei had the mysterious organization, the Network, under him.
It was not just an intelligence organization, but also an assassin organization.
Therefore, Xia Ji didn't need to help him with this matter.
However, Xia Ji still asked Lu Buwei to go to the arsenal to choose a cultivation technique.
This wasn't just to show off his strength to make Lu Buwei more convinced, but also to increase his strength.
In order to please Xia Ji, Lu Buwei sent the frightened salamander in the net to Xia Ji as his concubine.
Xia Ji didn't care about these things and simply nodded his head.
Currently, Great Xia was developing rapidly, and it would most likely be prosperous in no time.
But at this moment.
A piece of news came.
The evil sect in the north of the desert was flourishing. Now, it had already roped in many commoners and formed a rebel force.
Moreover…
The number of people was still increasing!
