Chapter 220: Fu Shuangni: Chen Qianxue? Qin Jiao? So Familiar! (2)

[In your impression, you have never heard of these two characters in the simulator.]
[You are quite confused.]
[The matter of the county magistrate chasing away thousands of people was found out by the Princess of Great Wei. The county magistrate was fired, and all the officials in the county were purged.]
[You realized that the Princess of Great Wei wasn’t that simple. She actually had the power to fire so many officials.]
[This is a Princess with real power! However, you know that this is also an opportunity! ]
[Half a month later, you immediately arranged for a group of people to go to the county to fill the vacancy of the local officials. Under the circumstances where the Princess of Great Wei didn’t even notice, almost everyone in the county is yours!]
You control almost the entire Kuoshan County.
“The big shots from the Imperial City fought with the local officials… The losing side was the local officials. However, the winning side might not be the big shots of the Imperial City. Perhaps, the winning side would be me.”
Fu Shuangni was very satisfied with her actions.
No matter how the two sides fought, it was none of her business.
She did not even use a bit of strength and planted a large number of people into the local bureaucracy of the Great Wei Dynasty.
These people might not have a high position at the moment, but it was a good start.
Fu Shuangni suddenly felt that she had become a worm and was slowly destroying the Great Wei Dynasty.
Furthermore… She was doing this in front of a Princess.
One had to say that it was very dangerous.
However, it was also very exciting.
Half a month later, under the lead of the treacherous people, thousands of refugees entered the depths of the Savage Mountain and came to your territory. It was their first time seeing so many demonic beasts, and they were all panicking. However, after you appeared and communicated with them, they felt a little more at ease.
[You also know that it is not easy to get rid of the fear in their hearts with just a few words. However, you believe that time will erase all these fears.]
[You will make a space in your territory for them to rebuild their homes.]
[You have already planned out which side is the residential area, which side is the farming area, which side is the livestock area, which side is the business area, and which side is the workshop area.]
[With the joint efforts of the demonic beasts and the humans, the construction is in full swing.]
…
“Strange…”
On the other side.
Chen Qianxue was not so eager to plunder the good things in the giant bronze gate. After she dealt with a batch of officials of the common people in Kuoshan County, she ordered people to immediately recruit a new batch of suitable candidates.
She thought that it would take a long time, but she was surprised to find that all the vacant positions in Kuoshan County had been filled.
This surprised Chen Qianxue. Since when did the Imperial Court have such great appeal?
The key was that those people were not ordinary people.
They were either knowledgeable scholars or officials from other places that had transferred to Kuoshan County. There were even Immortal cultivators!
As a result, the quality of the new batch of officials in Kuoshan County was even better than the previous batch!
After a short period of observation, Chen Qianxue found that the huge Kuoshan County was well managed by these people.
She could not help but sigh.
There were still capable people!
It was a very good choice to let these capable people replace the people.
Some people who had never been an official immediately took up important positions in the county, and this might be criticized by others.
However, as long as these people did a good job and did not die, then they were good officials!
It didn ot matter if they did not have the qualifications!
If they worked for a few more years, they would have the qualifications, right?
“Wei Yi.” Suddenly, Chen Qianxue opened her mouth and asked, “Are there any whereabouts of the displaced people?”
Chen Qianxue remembered that there were a large number of people in Kuoshan County who had been driven away by the previous magistrate and became refugees.
She did not forget these people and had been asking people to look for their whereabouts.
A figure appeared from the shadows and answered, “Your Highness, at the edge of the Savage Mountain, we found traces left behind by a large number of people.”
“If I did not guess wrongly, they might have entered the mountains.”
After listening, Chen Qianxue was stunned. “Savage Mountain? That place where demonic beasts frequently appear?”
Wei Yi nodded. “Yes.”
Chen Qianxue’s face turned cold. “It seems that the prefectural magistrate of Kuoshan County shouldn’t have been so lucky before. Forcing thousands of people into the desolate mountain to search for a chance to survive. This kind of person should be dismembered to death!”
Even though she knew that this was the world of the simulator, even if people died, when she simulated Immortal cultivation again, those people would still come back to life.
However, the actions of the county magistrate still made her angry.
Any County near Maple City could have so many people who had died for nothing.
How many of these people would there be in the entire Great Wei Dynasty?
Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands?
Millions?
“Wei Yi, send people into the Savage Mountain to search for the whereabouts of those civilians.” Even though her subconscious told her that those thousands of displaced civilians might have become food for the demonic beasts, she still had to send people to confirm. What if there were survivors?
She paused and continued, “If there are survivors, rescue them.”
Wei Yi nodded. “Yes!”
[You sent three Foundation Establishment stage secret guards into the Savage Mountain. The three secret guards searched for a whole week. Other than finding some traces of people living temporarily, they couldn’t find any other traces.]
[Some of the traces seemed to have been specially destroyed by someone. Some of the traces were even forged! After obtaining this information, you couldn’t help but feel puzzled.]
[They were a group of homeless people, so why are they so concerned about their own traces and that they would be discovered by others?]
[You don’t understand.]
[Age 20, after staying in Maple City for half a year, you are finally ready to set off for the overseas desolate islands. This time, Qin Jiao is also by your side, and the two of you will be working together for the third time.]

…
In Savage Mountain.
Fu Shuangni received information from a person planted in the Qin family — the Princess of the Great Wei Dynasty had left Maple City, and the daughter of the head of the Qin family had left as well.
However, the direction they left was not the direction to the Imperial City.
The person did not know why. They did not know where they were going, nor did they know what their goal was.
“They have finally left…” Fu Shuangni muttered, “If the Great Wei Princess is nearby, it would be quite stressful. Moreover, that Princess actually sent people to search for the whereabouts of the refugees.”
“Luckily, I made preparations and wiped out some traces. Otherwise, they would have followed me all the way to my territory.”
“If that’s the case, I’m afraid I’ll die before I can succeed.”
Chen Qianxue’s appearance made Fu Shuangni confused.
She was unable to understand. That Princess had never come to Maple City before.
Why was it different this time?
Was it really because her actions had affected future events?
The problem was… Her side was so far away from the Imperial City. How could this affect a Princess who was far away in the Imperial City of the Great Wei?
She could not figure it out.
Forget it!
When the soldiers came, the generals would block them.
When the water came, the Earth would cover it.
In any case, even if she died, she would just start all over again.
She was not afraid of anything and would not lose anything. At most, she would just waste a chance to simulate Immortal cultivation.
She had plenty of chances to simulate Immortal cultivation. She could do it once a day.
[Age 21, after a period of construction, one house after another rose up from Savage Mountain. Thousands of people finally had a new home. They all accepted living in harmony with the demonic beasts, and the demonic beasts also accepted the arrival of this group of humans.]
[Thanks to your hard work and meticulous preparations, the Great Yan City was built even earlier than the last simulation of Immortal cultivation.]
[You are quite gratified!]
