Qin Che turned around: "Alright, I'll head to Wall Number One immediately."
...
Before setting off, Qin Che sent a telegram to Xibao, instructing Duan Wujiu to personally wait for him at Wall Number One.
He was more familiar with Wall Number One and could help him with errands.
As for Li Mi and Lina, they will remain in Xibao and help Sha Qingsui with his work.
In addition, Qin Che's telegram also stated that Sha Qingsui, Chen Fusheng, He Gan, and others would soon travel to Wall No. 10 to pay homage to the new king and serve as ministers in the Glory Court.
West Castle, Sand Castle, and Old Town will be directly under the Kingdom's jurisdiction, retaining only the functions of government offices and councils.
They also urged the troops of the three cities to enter the western border and station themselves there, temporarily under the command of the military headquarters.
As for the dozens of independent and fragmented cities within its territory, Gu Yu will dispatch a diplomatic team to announce the new king's ascension to the throne and take over the cities with strong control under Qin Che's protection, while forming alliances with the cities with weaker control, such as Zi Bao.
Subsequently, Gu Yu will introduce some offsetting policies to blur the ruling power of strong regimes in places like Zibao. Of course, this requires the cooperation of the military, so Qin Che will not need to show his face.
After all, the business collaborations he discussed with these cities were all business-related.
Qin Che never offered to protect their independence in terms of political power. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Even if he had promised, these independent regimes never believed that a free lunch would fall from the sky.
After the military coup, power and military strength were concentrated.
Therefore, things that the Council of Elders couldn't do before can now be done boldly and decisively.
These reforms are relatively easy, and with Qin Che, an extraordinary being, in charge, no one dares to utter a word of dissent.
The biggest obstacle is the reform of the tax system.
Although the National Taxation Bureau has been established, its authority and responsibilities are still limited to Wall Ten. The old staff are all on duty. They can manage the wealth within Wall Ten, but not the wealth outside. There will definitely be a lot of resistance. But as long as Qin Che can persuade the Council of Elders and gain the loyalty of Wall One, everything will seem legitimate. No independent regime can stay out of it.
At this moment, the most tense people are none other than the entire council of elders and those in the government and political departments.
They were quietly waiting inside the walls for the arrival of the regent.
Upon arriving at West Fort, Qin Che did not linger for long, and instead drove along the highway to the Giant Wall.
To his surprise, Li Xin was already waiting at the door. In addition to him, the Yin Party, Su Party, and Dong Party also sent people to greet him.
Unfortunately, Qin Che did not meet any of Fu Dang's people.
Neither Zhao Lisu nor Han Xueshi showed up.
By killing Fu Xian, he was essentially betraying the Fu faction and completely severing ties with them.
However, this was not among Qin Che's considerations.
"What's going on?" Qin Che got out of the car and looked at Li Xin.
"With the Regent's arrival, how can we not come to greet him?" Li Xin maintained a faint smile, but it was impossible to tell whether he was sincere or not.
This person is also a close confidant of Fu Xian's faction, but as a superhuman, he and Fu Xian are actually allies and friends.
For Li Xin, Fu Xian's death did not actually affect him deeply.
Extraordinary beings are not ordinary life forms. Their understanding of the relationship between humans and nature is often different from that of ordinary people. They can be described as indifferent or nonchalant. In any case, Qin Che was quite surprised that Li Xin came.
However, he did not address himself as 'Regent,' which to some extent illustrates Li Xin's stance.
Qin Che smiled slightly; he naturally had his own way of winning over Li Xin.
To this day, the pseudo-psychic core remains in Qin Che's system space and can be accessed at any time.
When encountering ordinary superhumans, Qin Che doesn't even need to take action himself; he can simply unleash his spiritual energy core and make them surrender.
In Qin Che's view, the most powerful psionic technology hidden within this so-called psionic core is its 'uniqueness'.
The mobilization and activity of psionic particles will exhibit 'exclusion symptoms' in the face of the psionic core.
This causes psionicists to lose control of particles, which, to some extent, constitutes a shielding technique.
Only people from the old world could create it.
However, in Qin Che's understanding, he had learned about the existence of the Northern First Empire in the simulator. The psionic core they possessed was a natural aggregation device, the only difference being that it was highly developed.
It can enable the old world's civilization to replicate its core, or even artificially create a core.
...
Just as Qin Che stepped into Wall Number One.
Su Pei made a special trip to the elder's residence to meet Yin Mu.
"Qin Che has come in."
"Several Executive Yuan officials have personally gone to welcome them."
Yin Mu glanced at Old Man Su and smiled, "Was I impolite?"
"No."
Su Pei sighed, "The situation is already very clear. Fu Xian is dead, and his Burning Legion and new weapons are useless. Our informants at Wall 10 have also sent news confirming the deaths of the two princes. They were both killed by Qin Che himself. Now, the throne belongs to the second prince, Sa Jingcheng."
"Where is the eldest prince?"
"He's already gone. It seems he doesn't want to get involved in the internal affairs of the desert. They've entrusted power to Qin Che, and their purpose is quite clear."
"Well, the kingdom is about to be revived, and Qin Che has taken away the psionic core. We no longer have the power to control the superhumans. What else can we do? A wise bird chooses a good tree to perch on."
“However… the kingdom wants to start over, which doesn’t align with the ideology of Wall One. Our system, which has lasted for two hundred years, is about to change, and many people will fight desperately against it,” Su Pei said.
Yin Mu sighed: "So what?"
"How is it?" Su Pei was taken aback.
"Just wait and see how many people Qin Che kills, and you'll know. Although I've lived to be so old and have never seen anything like it, it's true that to extraordinary beings, ordinary people are like ants..."
"His power is now secured."
