Chapter 466

Li Shimin: "The ministers have been subdued. I originally planned to order the collection of treasures from across the land, but thought it too burdensome on the people, so I gave up. @Everyone, any ways to earn points?"

Ye Hei: "Take out a loan to buy a paradise realm and grow spiritual herbs."

Zhang Taixuan: "By the way, I just got feedback— I'll give you a standard allotment of points. 【Red Envelope】"

Li Shimin: "You're giving me points? Why?"

As an emperor, Li Shimin did not believe in falling cakes from heaven.

Su Xiao: "Because you cultivate the Taixuan Immortal Martial Way, Master Taixuan might receive rewards from your world."

Li Shimin: "If I cultivate, the Immortal can receive world rewards?"

Su Xiao: "It's a long story. 【Civilization Theory】 This is something we summarized earlier. Whenever something benefits civilizational development, heaven and earth give positive feedback. When the Taixuan Immortal Martial Way appeared in your world, if the world deemed it beneficial to civilization, it would reward Master Taixuan with something."

Li Shimin: "I see. So that's how it is. If I go enlighten more animals now, will my fortune rise further?"

Xiao Mai: "Exactly. 【Video】 Aren't my enlightened creatures well-behaved? Now, Xiao Mai is also a child of fortune."

Li Shimin: "It's incredible—enlightenment can turn animals into humans. By the way, who do I approach for a paradise realm loan?"

Huang Rong: "Me! 【Red Envelope】 One paradise realm, repay the points within ten years."

Li Shimin: "Rest assured, Immortal. I never expected the chat group to have so many valuable things."

Xiao Mai: "The valuable things aren't from the chat group—they're crafted by Master Taixuan. Elixirs, paradise realms, longevity herbs—all from Master Taixuan's hands."

Li Shimin: "You mean—Master Taixuan is the Dao Lord?"

Hu Yifei: "Correct."

Li Shimin: "I pay my respects to the Dao Lord. Forgive me for my earlier rudeness."

Zhang Taixuan: "No need for such formality. Once you join the chat group, we're all family."

Ying Zheng: "True. The Dao Lord is very benevolent."

Ying Zheng #2: "+1."

Anya: "Dad is the best."

Li Shimin: "Then thank you, Dao Lord."

Hu Yifei: "There are a few other things that might help Emperor Li Er. 【Modern Civilization Introduction】"

Hu Yifei: "Modern society has many high-yield crops and advanced technologies. If you need them, just say so in the group—they're very cheap, a small gesture of support for the ancient world."

Li Shimin: "Crops yielding thousands of jin per mu? Spices priced absurdly low? This couldn't have come at a better time."

Li Shimin: "I'll consult with my ministers to see what we need, then let everyone know. Rest assured—I, Li Er, will never let anyone here suffer a loss."

Su Xiao: "Don't worry. These things are trivial sums. If not for encouraging appreciation, we wouldn't charge at all."

Chitanda Eru: "That's true—these things aren't precious in our era. @Li Shimin, I'm curious: how will you handle Wu Gong?"

Li Shimin: "..."

Xiao Mai: "That question put the emperor in a bind."

Li Shimin: "No need to specially deal with her. I now have centuries of life. As long as I'm alive, can she truly rise up?"

Li Shimin: "As for Qingque, grant him a fiefdom in Shu to spend his twilight years. Sigh—this boy is truly a handful."

Su Xiao: "Speaking of troublesome heirs, Qin Shi Huang might have something to say."

Ying Zheng: "No, I have nothing to say—why did you kick me again?!"

Ying Zheng #2: "Exactly! Miss Su, don't keep reopening old wounds! That Hu Hai kid is one in a millennium—how am I supposed to save face?"

Li Shimin: "You two needn't be so hard on yourselves. Every family has its own hard-to-recite scripture. Descendants who disavow their elders are hard to predict."

Ying Zheng: "That's true."

Li Shimin: "I wonder, both First Emperors—how did you handle Li Si and Zhao Gao?"

Ying Zheng: "I use them. Especially my Zhao Gao—he's a transmigrator, very useful."

Ying Zheng: "Same. Why not use good oxen and horses?"

Li Shimin: "Truly, great minds think alike! I plan to do the same. As long as we maintain military dominance over the realm, even dangerous figures can be utilized."

Xiao Mai: "Again with the power politics—I'm not interested. @Zhong Suqiu, Sister Suqiu, what are you planning to do?"

Zhong Suqiu: "I plan to cultivate and take control of my own fate."

Hu Yifei: "【Applause】 Well done, Miss Zhong. Don't repeat the mistake of becoming someone else's backup."

Xiao Mai: "Yes, that Hua Guzi was terrible—she counted on your kindness to manipulate you."

Zhong Suqiu: "I've finally understood now. I won't be like the one in the video anymore. But one thing is still hard to change."

Bai Suzhen: "You mean your father?"
