Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention

Zhang Beichen downloaded a simulation game called the Warring State Empress. His role was to help his lords rule the world and become empress. He thought it was just another normal simulation game. He spent a lot of effort getting close to the empress and did everything he could to help her unite all seven nations, achieving different endings. However, when he woke up one day, he realized that he was transmigrated into the game. The empress from the game was now standing in front of him. The empress looked at Zhang Beichen with a cold expression and thought, “So, he’s the one who helped me achieve my victory but the traitor who refused to marry me?”

"Every village in Baiyang County has different taxes. Starting today, we will unify the taxes and use grain as the standard to collect land taxes." After Zhang Beichen finished reading the third line, the words in the sky shone with a golden light.

"The fourth rule."

"In Baiyang County, all adult men must live separately from their parents within a year. Otherwise, it will be considered a crime, and they will have to serve the government for a year."

Zhang Beichen's fourth condition was to dissolve the clan power here and liberate the restraint on productivity.

The people here gathered in their clans, and it was easy for them to form large clans like the Bai and Yang families. They lived together and used their power to oppress others. The descendants of the family did not produce anything, but they could oppress the people.

"Fifth rule. Private and armed fighting is prohibited. Any private or armed fights will be dealt with according to the laws of Qin."

"Sixth rule. Regulation of the market. All the sales of military arms, food, and other important materials must be approved by the county administration. Otherwise, they will be confiscated."

...

With every line that Zhang Beichen read out, the Bai family and the Yang family's faces turned darker, and the golden words in the sky became more dazzling.

When Zhang Beichen finished, there was a sudden explosion of thunder and lightning.

"The law appears, heaven and earth resonance!" Liu Wen looked at the sky in shock. His voice trembled, "This is the law of Kingdom Qin! Heaven and earth resonated! It actually resonated with heaven and earth!"

"He successfully created the law?" Bai Liangpu and Yang Shan's eyes were also filled with shock. This resonated with the heavens and earth. This meant that they could not oppose the law openly, or they would be going against Kingdom Qin!

However, this was not the only strange phenomenon. In the sky, spiritual energy condensed into the shadow of a black bird, circling the sky.

"A natural mystical bird, this is an auspicious sign! Lord Zhang's 'order to cultivate grass' not only resonated with heaven and earth, but it also had the blessing of the kingdom! It's terrifying!"

The black bird was the totem of Kingdom Qin. The condensation of the shadow of the black bird meant that Zhang Beichen's decree had been blessed by the fate of the kingdom!

To be able to cause such a phenomenon at the position of a small county magistrate was rare in the world!

The shadow of the black bird let out a long cry and flew into Zhang Beichen's body.

Zhang Beichen could only feel the pure spiritual energy washing his body. The spiritual energy cyclone in his body grew rapidly, and his realm reached the peak of the Dao-entering level from the early stage in an instant! He had directly crossed three minor realms!

Zhang Beichen had heard from Hu Cheng that among the Hundred Schools of Thought, there were some powerful people who had made great contributions. For example, if they created a sect's technique, they could even ascend in a day and become a saint!

"The blessing of the kingdom! Heaven and earth resonance!" When Hu Cheng saw this, he exclaimed inwardly, "No wonder Her Highness values him so much. The first time he created a law, it caused such a huge change. If his decree can be successfully implemented, his future achievements will be limitless!"

"My Lord is mighty!" The bailiffs all knelt down.

"My Lord is mighty!" When the commoners saw this scene, they also shouted and knelt down.

The strange phenomenon here also alarmed the other people in Kingdom Qin.

...

Inside the Qin Palace, Ying Yiren looked up at the sky.

"To think it actually caused a heavenly phenomenon. With the blessing of the country's fate, someone must have created a law!"

"This direction is Baiyang County. Could it be Zhang Beichen?"

A trace of surprise appeared on Ying Yiren's pretty face. Zhang Beichen had only been in Baiyang County for three days, right? In a short period of time, he was able to formulate laws according to the local situation and even caused heaven and earth resonance. This ability was truly shocking!

The corners of Ying Yiren's lips curled up slightly as she said, "As expected of someone I value. I'm looking forward to seeing how far you can go!"

...

In the Prime Minister's residence, the white-haired Meng Yuan was giving a lecture to his disciples.

His expression changed slightly when he saw the natural phenomenon. "Someone created a law?"

The students asked, "Teacher, you are the Prime Minister of Kingdom Qin. You should be in charge of the legislation. Who is so bold?"

"Not long ago, the monarch sent a person to Baiyang County to take up a position. It seems that this person is a legalist disciple, and his skill is not low!"

"What is the monarch doing? Does she want to go against us?" One of the students asked indignantly. There was no respect in his tone for Ying Yiren.

"Be careful with your words," Meng Yuan chided. "Her Highness is the ruler of a kingdom. Whatever she wants to do, we will just listen."

Although he said that, he ordered the servants, "Go to Baiyang County and investigate the situation. I want to know what happened within a day."

"Yes!"

...

Zhang Beichen shouted at Bai Liangpu and Yang Shan, "The 'order to cultivate grass' has been issued, and it has now been recognized by Kingdom Qin's national destiny. I hope your two families will follow the law! If anyone goes against it, this county will not tolerate it!"

"Hmph!" Yang Shan snorted and left with his men. Now that Zhang Beichen's 'decree' had been recognized by the fate of Kingdom Qin, it was useless for him to object.

"Lord Zhang, we still have a long way to go. Let's wait and see." Bai Liangpu left with his men after leaving those threatening words.

This time, both of them suffered heavy losses. Not only did they fail to save their people, but Zhang Beichen also showed his power.

Now that the 'order to cultivate grass' had been issued, if it was strictly implemented, the power of the two families would be greatly weakened in less than three years. By then, they would have to listen to the county government.

...

After returning to the county government office, Liu Wen complimented, "My Lord, you are so impressive today. The decree you issued caused heaven and earth resonance. You are blessed by the national destiny! This is the first time I've seen it in my life!"

Zhang Beichen was calm and said, "Although the 'order to cultivate grass' has been issued, I don't think the Bai and Yang families will follow it faithfully. We still need to handle this matter personally."

"Liu Wen." Zhang Beichen took out his 'Measuring Ruler' and said, "Take some men and re-measure the farmland in the county according to the measurements. Every inch must be measured clearly and precisely. Anything that is unclear will be taken as government-owned land!"

Liu Wen hesitated and said, "Although measuring is hard, it's not a big problem. But My Lord, I'm worried that those people won't hand over the..."

"Then capture them!" Zhang Beichen said coldly, "No matter who it is, as long as they obstruct the execution of the decree, arrest them immediately. If they retaliate with violence, then kill them!"

In troubled times, heavy punishments were used. Shang Yang from the other time and space was much more ruthless than Zhang Beichen. Whoever broke the law would not only be killed but also implicate the people around them! Not only relatives and family members, but even neighbors would be implicated!

"Ah Da. You take some people to do a population check. If anyone tries to stop us, use this against them!" Zhang Beichen then took out his 'order to cultivate grass'. With the blessing of the national destiny, it had become a 'magic weapon'.

Even ordinary people could use the decree to fight against some cultivators.

Ordinary cultivators of the first and second realms could not resist the decree that was supported by the national destiny.

In addition to these, Zhang Beichen also arranged the other regulations in the 'order to cultivate grass' one by one.

...

In the following days, Zhang Beichen was busy with the implementation of the 'order to cultivate grass'.

It was difficult to make laws and even more difficult to enforce them. The Bai and Yang families were only pretending to be loyal. If it wasn't for Zhang Beichen using the power of the kingdom to suppress them, the bailiffs he sent would have all been killed!

With the land measurement and population survey, Zhang Beichen took back a large amount of land from them and released a group of slaves, making thousands of refugees legal residents.

Without a doubt, these people had become firm supporters of Zhang Beichen and the 'order to cultivate grass'. Zhang Beichen arranged for them to cultivate the land and build houses to settle down here.

...

"'Order to cultivate grass'... 'order to cultivate grass'! In a month, 20% of our fields were taken away by the county, and more than 300 people were taken away by them! A few of our shops have been seized. If it wasn't for my men, our family would have been destroyed by that Zhang Beichen!" In the Bai family, Bai Liangpu's second brother, Bai Liangju, cursed angrily.

Bai Liangpu sat there calmly and sipped his tea.

"Big Brother, how are you still able to sit still?" Bai Liangju asked anxiously.

"What's the hurry? The Yang family is even worse off than us. Didn't they also not do anything?" Bai Liangpu said unhurriedly.

"They didn't do anything?" Bai Liangju said, "I heard that the Yang family's disciples fought with the bailiffs. The bailiffs used the 'order to cultivate grass' to suppress them and beat them up. Unless we send a third realm martial artist!"

"The 'order to cultivate grass' is recognized by the kingdom, and Zhang Beichen is the monarch's man. Are you trying to rebel by going against the monarch?" Bai Liangpu retorted.

Bai Liangju was speechless. He could only ask, "Then what do you think we should do? We can't just watch Zhang Beichen continue like this. In less than a year, he'll be in charge of the county!"
