~3 min read 519 words

Zhao Zheng: "@Zhang Taixuan, Daojun, could you please resurrect those who died in the war? As for the points, I'll do my best to gather them."

Ying Zheng: "So that's your plan. Bold move. In that case, count me in on the points too."

Ying Zheng #2: "The glory of unifying the world, while avoiding death—perfect. Count me in on the points as well!"

Su Xiao: "This is so Qin Huang."

Xiao Mai: "Agreed! Without transcendent power, Qin Huang still built a unified dynasty with the people of his era—that's Qin Huang's glory, and also the people's glory of that age!"

Hu Yifei: "History is forged by every individual! Suddenly, I feel that although the Qin Wang is young, his thinking is remarkably advanced."

Zhang Taixuan: "Otherwise, how could he be Qin Huang?"

Zhang Taixuan: "If you have remains, resurrecting the dead is quite easy. How about this—just charge ten thousand points as a token."

Zhao Zheng: "Thank you, Daojun!"

Ying Zheng: "Daojun, your righteousness is great!"

Ying Zheng #2: "Daojun, your benevolence is profound."

Su Xiao: "Wow, unexpected! The Qin Wang didn't choose to just crush everything!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "After enduring the trials of blood and fire, an empire becomes far more stable than one built easily. With the Daojun's help, I support this plan. @Zhao Zheng, if you're short on points later, I can lend you some—even though I don't have many myself yet."

Li Shimin: "+1"

Zhu Youjian: "Qin Huang's grandeur is truly immense—I cannot compare."

Xiao Mai: "??? "

Zhu Yuanzhang: "What are you butting in for?"

Ying Zheng: "All the passion is gone in an instant." 【Slams table】

Li Shimin: "Please, Emperor Chongzhen, don't show up—we can't even agree on 530!"

Zhu Youjian: "…"

Su Xiao: "Laughed to death—you got rejected again. But I'd like to ask, Your Majesty, how did you even think to compare yourself to Qin Huang?"

Xiao Mai: "Shouldn't Your Majesty be comparing yourself to emperors who dabble in alchemy or carpentry?"

Zhu Youjian: "【Cold sweat dripped】"

Honglou World.

"Xue Yan, brew a pot of tea and add a few slices of ginseng," Lin Daiyu said, absorbing the subtleties of the Celestial Immortal Dao in her mind.

"Oh, Young Lady, have you been staying up late reading and worn yourself thin?" Xue Yan chuckled. "I'll get it right away!"

Raised alongside Lin Daiyu since childhood, she was technically a maid, but their bond was exceptionally close, often playfully teasing each other.

"You little brat," Lin Daiyu murmured, "always talking nonsense!"

Xue Yan giggled and turned to leave.

Moments later, she returned with a freshly brewed pot of ginseng tea.

The ginseng was premium wild northern ginseng, excellent for replenishing qi and blood.

As Inspector of Salt Monopoly, Lin Ruhai's household never lacked tonics—ginseng and bird's nest were eaten like rice, and it would take ages to finish them.

In this era, even officials who didn't embezzle still earned substantial incomes.

Three years as a clean Prefect yields a hundred thousand taels of snow-white silver.

Especially for the most lucrative post of all—the Inspector of Salt Monopoly—his family's wealth was incalculable.
