It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

[You used the Zhou family's name to get them to open their granaries and distribute grain. At the same time, you set rules forbidding them from draining the pond to catch all the fish. Furthermore, besides the silver they handed over to the aristocratic families, you pocketed a large sum of money for yourself.]

This tactic, far from provoking anger from the other factions, actually delighted them. Perhaps in their eyes, paying protection money meant they would be safe and sound.

The people's situation, though still dire, is at least manageable enough to survive.

News of your actions in Shangning County quickly reached the capital. Zhou Chongguang was surprised by your handling of the situation. While the Zhou and Han families did have some past grievances, especially after you had wronged them, it didn't warrant the massacre of an entire branch of the family.

[The silver you extorted from other families, along with the wealth you uncovered from the Han family's branch clan, were all handed over to the Zhou family.]

Zhou Zhongguang tells you, these people, killing them is no big deal.

However, Zhou Zhongguang's surveillance of you has become increasingly stringent.

He doesn't believe you can truly integrate into the aristocratic family!

"Human life is as light as a feather, how can it be heavier than a mountain?"

Along the way, Jiang Li saw too many things that could not be seen in the reports.

The suffering of the people far exceeded her imagination.

"Take it one step at a time."

Pei Yichen smiled.

If one year isn't enough, try two years; if two years isn't enough, try three.

One day, the powerful families will no longer dare to exploit the common people.

The elderly should be provided for until their end, the able-bodied should be employed, the young should be nurtured, and the widowed, orphaned, childless, disabled, and sick should all be cared for!

No one in the world will ever go hungry again!

Jiang Li stared blankly at Pei Yichen, she hadn't expected Pei Yichen's vision to be so grand.

Such a vision was something even the sages of the past dared not utter.

Too big!

Too hard!

For some reason, Jiang Li was willing to believe in this spirited young man.

The overthrow of the powerful clans begins with us!

Chapter 10 Who said I won't eat?

You rescued several orphans and secretly placed them in various homes.

Their mission was simple: gather evidence, lie low, and wait for the right opportunity.

At the same time, you are also considering developing your own team.

You need someone capable of gathering intelligence, working independently, and with a clean record.

So you began searching for new orphans and personally teaching them skills.

All of this happened right under Jiang Li's nose.

You call them feathers.

[As light as a feather when dormant, as heavy as a mountain when erupting!]

The place they resided in, you called Ink Feather Tower. You hoped that one day, they would be like crows delivering news of death, singing the final aria for the aristocratic families.

After you rectified Shangning County, almost every clan and family in the surrounding towns sent people to pay their respects.

[The few who remained silent were all wiped out by you under the pretext of "trivial matters."]

Now, the local gentry tremble with fear at the mere mention of your name.

The reputation of the young master of the Pei family began to spread within their circle.

"Father, that brat Pei Yichen was exiled there for two months and slaughtered more than ten prefectures."

Should we give it a tap?

Zhou Zhenye was somewhat taken aback when he saw the information sent back by the scouts.

On average, one school per half-day is wiped out.

Moreover, all the money seized each time was handed over to the Zhou family.

Among the prominent families, there are already quite a few people who have reservations about the Zhou family.

They all felt that the murderer from the Pei family was deliberately sent out by the Zhou family.

“Tell him to continue.”

"what?"

Zhou Zhenye's eyes widened.

For now, the various factions only have some complaints, but if the fighting continues like this, the Zhou family's leading position will become unstable.

"With the Pei family gone, it's practically impossible for the Zhou family to continue using the old rules to restrict other families."

"Why not kill a bunch of them before they develop any grudges against each other!"

Zhou Chongguang looked at the information in the official gazette and spoke in a low voice.

Without enemies, it's impossible to control the powerful families as before.

Let's just use Pei's son to slaughter the people below.

When the conflict escalates, they'll push this kid out as a scapegoat.

As for the property seized from local powerful families, the Zhou family can simply relinquish a portion of it as a funeral gift to them!

You almost burst out laughing when you saw the message from the Zhou family.

The relationships between powerful families are weaker than you anticipated.

[You know exactly where the local tyrants and powerful families need to be dealt with. The reason you're killing them so quickly is to create a memorable image for them.]

The message sent to you by the Zhou family has begun to be discussed within a small circle of local clans.

[Your pace of slaughtering the Zhi tribe has noticeably slowed down.]

Everyone else assumes you're outwardly obeying orders from the Zhou family but inwardly defying them, and therefore sees you as someone worth befriending.

[Eminent families and prominent local clans have all begun to secretly contact you in order to protect themselves.]

Only you know in your heart that in this kind of world, indiscriminate slaughter will only exacerbate conflicts and achieve nothing.

Now you have both intimidating and deterrent effects on them, without inciting them to rebel.

Everything was handled perfectly.

"Everything is finally back on track!"

Su Chen stretched and relaxed.

"The rest is just a matter of infiltrating little by little, and then delivering a decisive blow to the Zhou family!"

"However, simply eliminating the Zhou family doesn't seem to change the state of the world, does it?"

"I'll figure out a way to get the little empress to give me an official position."

Su Chen thought for a moment and then continued playing the game.

The probing and surveillance from the Zhou family have never ceased.

But you're handling it with increasing ease.

Aside from the information you want the Zhou family to know, it's very difficult for them to find out anything more.

[The first batch of personnel from Moyu Tower, after three months of training, have been dispatched by you to various locations to carry out different missions.]

Meanwhile, powerful clans and other forces gradually became aware of the existence of Moyu Tower.

Intelligence, assassination, protection...

As long as you can offer a price, someone will naturally come to solve your problems!

What's the deal with Moyu Tower?

A year later, Jiang Li reappeared in front of Pei Yichen.

As we had discussed before, she brought an appointment letter with her this time.

Pei Yichen could be made the prefect, in charge of more than ten surrounding counties.

Interestingly, it was Zhou Zhongguang who recommended her for this appointment.

"It was due to the circumstances of the time."

Moyu Tower will appear when it is time to appear, and disappear when it is time to disappear.

What I am about to do is to plot a rebellion.

Please tell His Majesty that if he is not at ease with me, he can stop now.

If this continues, the situation will not be something that can be stopped simply by my word."

Pei Yichen remained calm, revealing no change in his emotions.

Jiang Li shook her head. "If His Majesty suspected you, he wouldn't have asked me to bring this over."

"Continue according to your own ideas."

Mo Yulou did exceed her expectations, but as Pei Yichen said.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Now we need to cultivate our own team.

Moreover, during Pei Yichen's year in the local area, the lives of the people in his region improved significantly.

The once powerful local clans have all become much more subdued.

Pei Yichen did a lot of things.

However, his reputation does not seem to be very good, either among the common people or among prominent families.

They were clearly doing things that benefited the people, so why did this happen?
