Chapter 1160: Chapter 496: Imperial Decree Seals Northern Territory’s Thousand State Governors! Emperor Dao Authority!

In a single State, the population had already surpassed Shenzhou back when Qin was still merely a mortal kingdom.

Moreover, as governance took hold, the population of each State would only increase all the faster.

”A State Governor shall hold the military and political authority over one entire State.”

”After you arrive at the States to which you are appointed, I require you to abide by Daqin Law and fulfill your duties with utmost diligence.”

”Implement Qin Law as swiftly as possible, and push the Tianxuan Mirror across all territories.”

”As for the officials of the State Governor Mansion, and the various Prefectural Governors of all counties, once you return to your respective States, you must actively recommend talents and submit them for review by the two Chancellors.”

”I expect that all of you will not disappoint Me.” Ying Zheng declared in a voice of majesty, a tone imbued with unquestionable authority.

As his voice rose and fell, it was as though the might of Heaven descended.

”We, your ministers, shall by no means fail Your Majesty’s expectations.” The assembled officials replied in unison, each voice firm and resolute.

”In that case, you all should hasten to depart and assume your posts.”

”As for the governance of the Northern Territory, everything shall be done according to the law.” Ying Zheng did not speak further; with a single wave of his hand, he indicated for them to withdraw.

Once these State Governors were enfeoffed, the matter of administering the Northern Territory could finally be settled.

”Your minister takes his leave.” All the State Governors who had received imperial investiture, holding the Holy Decree and Great Seal close to their breasts, withdrew from Heavenly Palace Square with a deep, inexpressible excitement.

Their steps were hurried; all of them were impatient to rush to the Northern Territory, to embark upon a new journey of governing their respective States.

”Qi’er.” Ying Zheng turned his head and looked toward Zhao Qi, saying, ”The Northern Territory has already been completely conquered, and the State Governors shall shortly take office. I grant you direct authority to oversee all military and political matters within the Northern Territory.”

”If any State Governor has any affair, all must pass through you first.”

”Should you find yourself unable to resolve it, only then are you to come and report to Me.”

Upon hearing this!

”Your grandson-minister shall by no means fail Grandfather Emperor’s expectations.” Zhao Qi responded at once, his eyes filled with firmness and confidence.

These matters were, by now, already trifles.

In the Qin Capital, within the bustling marketplace, the streets were thronged with passersby.

As the very heart of Qin’s Capital, it differed greatly from the other State and County Mansions scattered across the Qin Heavenly Court Territory.

The Capital covered a vast expanse of land, accommodating over tens of millions of people, and was divided into Outer City and Inner City.

The Outer City was prosperous; the Inner City, even more so.

At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi and the Queen Mother of the West had already arrived together at the location of the Qin Capital.

They strolled along the streets, the surrounding clamor rising and falling. Shops lined the roadside in dazzling array; cries of vendors and bursts of laughter intertwined.

This was a place of even greater splendor.

”Compared to the other cities under the Qin Court, this Capital is a thousand times more flourishing.”

”Furthermore, the Transmission Arrays here seem to connect together the entirety of the Qin Court Territory.”

As the Queen Mother of the West walked, she took in all that lay within the Outer City of the Qin Capital.

She narrowed her eyes slightly as her Divine Sense unfurled like a tide; everything around them unfolded clearly within her perception.

”It is, after all, the seat of the Qin Court’s Capital.”

”Moreover, the Spirit Race here is far more numerous than in the cities we previously traversed.”

”To allow the Spirit Race to emerge openly and upright—within the entire Earth Immortal Realm, apart from their own hidden lands, only this Qin Capital can accomplish such a thing.”

Zhen Yuanzi could not help but sigh in admiration. He gently flicked the horsetail whisk in his hand, his gaze calmly sweeping across the scene around them.
