Chapter 1177 National Debt PlanChapter 1258: Supreme Power

"This job turned out pretty well."

Outside the capital city of Yanjiao, Li Chen stood on the city wall watching a seemingly endless line of convoys transporting massive amounts of military supplies, food, and provisions leaving. He said to Xu Changqing beside him.

Xu Changqing bowed with his hands clasped, bowing slightly and saying, “Your humble servant has merely done what was necessary. If it weren't for Your Highness’s full support, the Ministry of Revenue could never have gathered and transported all the required supplies to Moonlit Pass in such a short time.”

Standing on the city wall, facing the cool wind, Li Chen's expression did not ease much despite the successful delivery of supplies.

Although the Qin Empire's court was poor, it could easily support a year and a half of defense at Yueya Pass. While organizing so many supplies and transport convoys did cost Xu Changqing a lot of hair, these were all things he had to do.

"How is the transportation of Da Qin's thunder and cannons, along with ammunition, going" Li Chen asked.

“It seems that Xu Changqing had anticipated Li Chen’s question and immediately replied, "According to the plan, the secret transportation began a day in advance. This time, Chen Tong commanded the operation with the elite of the Jin Yi Wei personally executing it. Both safety and efficiency are guaranteed. If everything goes smoothly, they should have entered the northwest region by now, and tonight, they should be able to enter Gansu and Shaanxi."

Li Chen nodded.

All these arrangements and preparations were sent to him for review in advance, and he thought there was no problem. Then the people below would go ahead and execute them.

So all of this right now is progressing as normal.

So Li Chen was not surprised by these results and progress, everything was within his plan.

The only thing that worried him was whether Su Pingbei could successfully complete his mission.

And as for the Wu brothers, will they obey his orders

Even if they obeyed, would the entire Yueya Guan army be able to accept it

This concerns national strategy, so Li Chen won't allow anyone to become a stumbling block to the plan's execution, no matter who they are. Anyone who stands in the way of this plan will be removed from the game by Li Chen.

But ultimately, Li Chen didn't want Yueya Pass to be lost. Those soldiers were the undisputed elite of the Qin Empire, and losing even one was a huge loss.

"You've had a heavy workload lately, and it must have been hard work." Li Chen said to Xu Changqing beside him.

Xu Changqing hurriedly replied, "It is what I should do. To be able to relieve the prince's worries is my fortune."

Li Chen chuckled lightly.

It makes sense that everyone wants to be emperor.

Absolute power, signifying that you will be the center of the world, with everyone revolving around you. No one dares to defy you, even if you point a deer and call it a horse, someone will find a way to help you justify your words and praise your wisdom.

There is only one kind of magic in this world that can make any dream come true, and that is called power.

"I've promoted you, and it's a high position: Minister of Revenue. Above that are the three ministries at the heart of government, so your responsibilities will naturally be greater. There's one more thing you need to focus on and make sure it's done well."

Li Chen's words caused Xu Changqing to bow slightly. He swore solemnly, "I am willing to die for Your Highness."

"Not that exaggerated."

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "The wealthy people from the Jing'i region and the prosperous provinces in the south have already arrived in the capital. The East Palace banquet will begin tonight, and this palace cannot appear. The Crown Princess will preside over it, and as the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, you are to assist the Crown Princess in making this banquet a success."t if you go to the brothel less frequently, you wouldn't be able to ask such professional questions.In feudal times, Qinglou was a legal entertainment venue.Here, prostitution and consensual sexual ac...
