Chapter 480: Claiming the Quest Rewards

"This humble subject obeys the decree!"

Seeing this, Liu Bian also nodded in satisfaction, then said to everyone:

"Alright, today's Grand Court Assembly ends here."

Upon hearing Liu Bian's words, Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng immediately stepped forward and called out loudly to the officials:

"Court adjourned!"

Seeing this, the hundred officials immediately bowed with cupped fists and called out in unison:

"We subjects respectfully escort Your Majesty!"

Afterward, Liu Bian rose and left the Court Hall, bringing Li Liangcheng and Dian Wei with him as he hurried to the Imperial Study.

At this moment, the system's notification chime sounded in Liu Bian's mind.

After arriving at the Imperial Study, Liu Bian said to Dian Wei and Li Liangcheng:

"You two, wait for the Emperor outside!"

Hearing this, Dian Wei and Li Liangcheng immediately replied respectfully:

"As you command!"

After giving them their instructions, Liu Bian could no longer wait and eagerly opened the system to check.

……

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully taking control of the Six States of Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou. Reward: 1,200,000 National Fortune Value points for the Host!"

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the Host for completing the System Quest."

"System Task Two: The Host has completely taken control of the Han Empire."

"Reward: Emperor's Heaven-Sealing List"

As two consecutive system notification chimes sounded, Liu Bian hurriedly opened the system to check.

Seeing that System Task Two was finally complete, Liu Bian immediately took the Emperor's Heaven-Sealing List out of the System Space and examined it.

The Emperor's Heaven-Sealing List looked just like an Imperial Decree. The purple-gold Emperor's Heaven-Sealing List had nine golden Nine-Clawed Golden Dragons coiled upon it, looking truly majestic and incomparably noble.

"Emperor's Heaven-Sealing List: Hongmeng Grade treasure, possessing the effect of bestowing titles upon the All Heavens. Those bestowed are completely loyal to the Host, and a single thought can control the life and death of the titled."

After holding it in his hands and examining it for a while, Liu Bian Refined it and stored it in his dantian.

"Right, the National Seal rewarded back then still hasn't been Refined. This is the perfect chance to Refine it as well."

Afterward, Liu Bian took out the National Seal and began Refining it.

Since they were all System Rewards, Liu Bian had no difficulty Refining them.

In no time, Liu Bian had Refined the National Seal.

"Huu…"

Liu Bian stood up and let out a long breath.

"Now, everything needed to establish a Dynasty of Fortune is ready. I just have to wait two months before I begin establishing the Dynasty of Fortune!"

"System, open the Attribute Panel."

After standing up, Liu Bian said inwardly to the system.

"Ding! The Attribute Panel has been opened. Please, Host, take a look!"

As the system notification chime faded, the familiar Attribute Panel appeared before Liu Bian's eyes.

……

……

At this point, Liu Bian's National Fortune Value had already reached 4,000,000 points.

"The National Fortune Value is already at 4,000,000 points. Now, all thirteen states of the Han have been completely taken control of by the Emperor."

"During this period, I'll exchange some more things from the system, striving to collect all the National Fortune Value from the Han's thirteen states before establishing the Dynasty of Fortune."

After making up his mind, Liu Bian exchanged another batch of high-yield foodstuffs from the system—Corn, Sweet Potato, Wheat, Hybrid Rice, Potato, and so on—fifty tons of each.

He also exchanged some animal husbandry techniques.

These items cost Liu Bian close to 3,000,000 National Fortune Value.

In the blink of an eye, of the more than 4,000,000 National Fortune Value, only 1,400,000 remained.

Although these seeds are still far from enough for the Han Dynasty.

However, with these things, they can slowly spread throughout Tian Xia.

After all, governing Tian Xia is not like conquering it.

It must be done step by step, slowly.

Afterwards, Liu Bian took all the exchanged items out of the System Space.

And stored them in the previously exchanged Heavenly Upper Grade Space Ring, the Kongling Ring.

Since the Kongling Ring was exchanged, aside from sending Warships to Gan Ning twice, it had never been used.

As for the Army's Grain and Fodder, the space in the Soldiers' Identity Jade Tokens is more than enough.

Back then, Liu Bian did not limit the size of the military's Jade Token Space.

Every Soldier's Identity Jade Token has One Hundred Cubic Meters of space.

"Li Liangcheng!"

After putting the items into the Kongling Ring, Liu Bian called out to Li Liangcheng outside the door.

"Emperor!"

Liu Bian handed the Kongling Ring in his hand to Li Liangcheng, instructing him:

"Deliver this Space Ring to the Minister of Revenue, Xi Zhong."

"This servant obeys the decree!"

Upon hearing this, Li Liangcheng immediately replied solemnly.

Then, he respectfully retreated out of the Imperial Study.

And personally delivered the Space Ring to Xi Zhicai.

After Li Liangcheng left, Liu Bian exited the Imperial Study.

"Elai, accompany the Emperor out of the palace for a stroll!"

In high spirits, Liu Bian planned to wander around Luoyang City.

It was also a good chance to see how the construction of the Yinghun Shrine and the Royal Academy was progressing.

"Yes, Emperor!"

Afterwards, Liu Bian and Dian Wei changed into casual clothes, took ten Huben Army Soldiers, and left the Imperial Palace.

By now, it was nearly noon, and the entire Luoyang City was exceptionally bustling.

During this period, as Luoyang City's public security improved,

Luoyang City's taverns and street vendors had all multiplied.

Moreover, Luoyang City's population was approaching five million.

It was currently the true most populous city of the Han Empire.

"Have you all heard? The Six Legions will return triumphantly in ten days—the Ministry of War has already issued the notice!"

"I knew about this long ago. Ever since His Majesty bestowed the Identity Jade Tokens, as long as it's news publicly released by the Han Empire, we can all learn it immediately."

"Indeed, His Majesty is truly like an immortal!"

"I also heard that this time those rebels will be escorted back together. In my opinion, anyone who dares to rebel against His Majesty should be executed by a thousand cuts!"

With Liu Bian and Dian Wei's cultivation, they could hear the commoners' discussion very clearly.

"The people of the Han Dynasty have finally improved—there's a smile on their faces, and they've become more confident!"

Watching the commoners on the street, Liu Bian took in their expressions and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

These Han Dynasty commoners, after so many years of war and chaos, had long been like walking corpses.

Since Liu Bian began to hold power, a series of policies benefiting the people had finally revitalized them.

Seeing this scene, Liu Bian felt an immense sense of pride welling up inside.
