Transmigrating to the Primordial Era as a Peerless Great Witch, Changing Fate in the Primordial Worl

Wei Xiaobao slammed the book shut, looked up at Li Dian, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration and excitement.

With your help, sir, Yangzhou will be more than just a tiger with wings.

Even that vast land, if we were to take it over one day, it would truly be as easy as taking something out of a bag.

He stood up and paced back and forth:

"If Yangzhou wants to accomplish great things, it must first establish rules and regulations."

The teacher's method is exactly the standard and framework I need.

I intend to immediately establish a "Legislative Pavilion" in Yangzhou, dedicated to the formulation, interpretation, revision, and supervision of the implementation of judicial decrees.

The gentleman was the first head of this Legislative Council.

Their status is highly respected, second only to me, the city lord, and on par with Li Shi and Zhou Yu, wielding supreme power over legislation and judicial oversight.

Sir, you need not have any concerns. When implementing the new law, no matter whose interests are affected or what kind of resistance we encounter, I, Wei Xiaobao, will do my utmost to clear the obstacles for you and gather the power for change.

This statement is as clear as day.

Wei Xiaobao himself had been studying the art of governing a country.

Especially after obtaining "The Forging of the Holy Dynasty", his vision and knowledge have been completely transformed.

Seeing Li Dian's profound and comprehensive "General Outline of Reform" at this moment...

I understood its value and profound significance almost instantly.

This is the true and righteous way to govern a country.

It is the key to establishing the legal foundation of the "Dynasty".

Li Dian's arrival at this time is a godsend opportunity; how could he let it slip by?

"Very well, with Lord Wei's trust and strong support..."

I, Li Dian, will do my utmost, dedicate myself to the cause, and die before I am finished.

"With my Legalist teachings, I will assist the city lord in establishing a firm foundation for the world and creating an everlasting dynasty."

Upon hearing this, Li Dian was also deeply moved. He stood up, bowed deeply to Wei Xiaobao, and made a solemn vow.

The next day, the projection of Wei Xiaobao summoned all the civil and military officials in Yangzhou City to a formal meeting in the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

He publicly announced the appointment of Li Dian as "Head of the Legislative Cabinet," a high-ranking position, placing him on par with Li Shi, who oversaw civil administration, finance, and personnel, and Zhou Yu, who oversaw military affairs, conquest, and preparedness.

He became one of the three most powerful figures in the Yangzhou regime, second only to himself.

It was also stated that the appointment would take effect immediately, without any probationary period.

These words immediately caused an uproar in the hall.

Many officials, especially those with seniority and a sense of accomplishment, showed obvious signs of dissatisfaction and skepticism.

A newly arrived, unknown scholar, relying solely on a book titled "General Outline of Reform," achieved nothing.

He suddenly became the "Pavilion Master" on par with Li Shi and Zhou Yu, two veteran ministers who had made great contributions and were highly capable.

This is far too frivolous and unlikely to convince the public.

However, the projection of Wei Xiaobao did not give anyone a chance to object.

His gaze, sharp as lightning, slowly swept across the entire arena, an invisible aura, a blend of his martial arts prowess and long-accumulated power, spreading outwards.

It instantly silenced all the whispers and disgruntled glances.

He said in a deep voice:

This is the sole decision made by the city lord.

Mr. Li Dian's talent is enough to bring peace to the world and stabilize the nation.

The establishment of the Legislative Pavilion is crucial to the future rise and fall of Yangzhou and the foundation of its legal system.

All you need to do is fulfill your duties and fully cooperate with Pavilion Master Li Dian in implementing the new laws.

If anyone outwardly complies but inwardly defies or secretly obstructs, do not blame the city lord for being ruthless in upholding the law.

His tone was firm and unquestionable.

Under Wei Xiaobao's accumulated prestige, coupled with his recent great victory, his prestige was at its zenith.

Although the officials were still dissatisfied, none of them dared to question it openly and could only bow their heads in agreement.

Immediately, the projected body of Wei Xiaobao formally transmitted the order:

From this day forward, Yangzhou City, as well as all prefectures, cities, towns, and villages already under the control of the Yangzhou army or about to be controlled by them,

The new laws, based on the principles of Li Dian's "General Outline of Reform," were fully implemented.

To govern chaos, one must govern order; to govern disorder, one must govern law.

In this world where war has not yet ended, and far from the direction of Zhou Yu's westward expedition,

At a critical juncture when the sounds of war were still echoing, Li Dian was appointed to a perilous post and immediately began the great reform movement with swift and decisive action.

The projection of Wei Xiaobao provided the strongest support.

Not only did he allocate those members of his elite "Iron Guard," originally his personal bodyguards but now numbering nearly a thousand and skilled in the "Iron Shirt" and "Golden Bell" martial arts techniques, to the Legislative Council, but he also transferred them to the Legislative Council.

They are to be at Li Dian's disposal, used to supervise law enforcement, suppress illegal activities, and protect reformers.

He even had Zhao Yun personally lead one of the units, serving as Li Dian's personal bodyguards and enforcer of the law.

A profound and far-reaching legal reform thus unfolded vigorously within the sphere of influence of the projection, Wei Xiaobao.

At the front, Li Shi led his army to continue sweeping away the surrounding unruly forces and consolidating and expanding his territory;

Zhou Yu led his western expeditionary army with unstoppable momentum, his forces heading straight for Nanjing, the ancient capital of six dynasties and an important town in Jiangnan.

Every time the soldiers conquered and recaptured a city, the corrupt officials and law enforcement "Iron Guards" dispatched by Li Dian would follow closely behind and quickly enter.

He posted public notices to reassure the people, promulgated new laws, restored order, eliminated old abuses, measured land, registered households, and established a new administrative and judicial system.

The new law is concise, strict, and fair, with a particular focus on protecting the rights of ordinary people, cracking down on the oppression of the powerful, and encouraging production and trade.

Moreover, the relatively fair law enforcement, under the supervision of the iron guards, quickly won the support of the grassroots people.

Although it affected some of the existing vested interests.

Such as local gentry who run rampant in the countryside, corrupt former officials, and unscrupulous merchants.

However, with the strong deterrence of the Yangzhou army and the firm support of Wei Xiaobao, these obstacles were quickly crushed or suppressed.

Thus, driven by both military expansion and legal reform,

The projection of his body into Wei Xiaobao's forces grew exponentially, expanding at an astonishing rate.

Their controlled territory expanded, their population grew, their order improved, and their strength increased.

The reputation of Yangzhou's new policies spread rapidly through word of mouth among merchants, refugees, and scholars.

The people of the world, suffering from war, oppressive government, bandits, and the oppression of powerful clans, all yearned for Yangzhou after hearing about its "strict laws, clean administration, reasonable taxes, and peaceful life."

More and more people, whether ordinary farmers, craftsmen, or merchants,

Even those who still cherish ideals and are scholars begin to silently hope in their hearts:

If the whole world could be ruled by someone like "Lord Wei," just like Yangzhou, how wonderful that would be.

What the people desire is what destiny will bestow.

Wei Xiaobao, projecting his physical form, could clearly feel that the power of faith flowing into the "Statue of Creation" had become even more surging and powerful.

The expectations and recognition contained within are becoming increasingly pure.

He knew that he was steadily moving towards the grand goal of "forging a holy dynasty".

The arrival of Li Dian and his reforms were undoubtedly a crucial and pivotal step on this path.

"The current state of affairs in the world is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Yangzhou."

The forces of the Three Feudatories and the Heaven and Earth Society were like several mad dogs, relentlessly pursuing the elite Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, plunging them into a quagmire from which they could not help themselves.

Meanwhile, Yangzhou, riding high on the momentum of its great victory, implemented new policies, resulting in a clean and efficient government, a powerful military, and the support of the people, leading to a flourishing future.

In a short period of time, they have occupied dozens of cities, have a million elite soldiers, and have piled up mountains of grain and military equipment.

In this struggle for supremacy, the advantage has clearly tilted in my favor. I must no longer proceed slowly as before and let this golden opportunity slip away.

We must speed things up, with overwhelming force, to decisively seize power and dominate the world.
