Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 195 Breakthrough Round (2)

The plot unfolds rapidly thereafter. Shi Qi's army is disciplined and well-equipped, making it easy for them to defeat the Jin people.

They quickly drove the Jurchens back to the mountains, annihilating a large portion of their forces.

It is predicted that the Jin people will be unable to mount an effective attack in the next twenty years.

The day before the army reached the capital, the emperor was still discussing with his ministers how to deal with Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi.

Some suggested that, considering their past contributions to the other side, their incitement of the people to rebel should be forgiven, and they should be given official positions.

Some people suggested luring the two people over and killing them to eliminate future troubles.

The emperor considered Gu Shijiu's martial prowess and felt that neither of the two ideas was very good.

However, his prestige in the court has greatly diminished, and the emperor's power seems to have weakened along with the disappearance of the two ounces of meat.

Even the Empress Dowager began to increase her interference in court affairs and did not like this son as much.

After arguing all day without reaching a conclusion, the next day they were overwhelmed by a large army, and their kingdom was on the verge of collapse.

The emperor accepted the arrival of this day well, finally free from the headache of choosing an heir.

The ministers, on the other hand, wept as if their parents had died, and then turned around and sent people to discuss with Shi Qi: they were willing to hand over the emperor in exchange for their families' survival.

When Shi Qi entered the city, everyone in the palace was tied up and handed over to him.

Gu Shijiu also brought Cao Huan to the scene; they still had a grudge to settle.

The Imperial Concubine was pulled to the front, but she did not recognize that the two imposing female generals in front of her were the low-ranking palace servants she had dealt with back then.

She looked at Gu Shijiu with trepidation, wondering how this person in charge would deal with her.

Gu Shijiu, of course, wouldn't stand on ceremony with her: "Let's just use castration."

The executioner was startled; such punishments were always carried out secretly and discreetly, never announced in public.

Seeing that no one spoke up, the executioners had no choice but to grit their teeth and carry out the execution.

The ministers watching secretly thought: Is this some kind of scare tactic to make an example of someone?

It seems these two menacing figures are not so easy to deal with.

Some astute ministers were already pondering what they needed to sacrifice to preserve their family's legacy.

Wealth is a must, and some of the family's outstanding members will inevitably be sacrificed as well.

As for the fire, it was naturally kept in the place where the clan resided...

The ministers had good ideas, but unfortunately, none of them were used.

Shi Qi and Gu Shijiu brought with them a new system, a civilization that no one dared to imagine and that was unprecedented.

Cao Huan was somewhat worried: "Aren't we taking too big a step?"

Shi Qi thought it didn't matter: "Think about it, compared to the period after the Jurchens entered the pass, isn't this a regression?"

At this time, compared to hundreds of years later, capitalism is in its infancy, handicrafts are developing rapidly, and navigation is extremely advanced.

In what ways is it inferior to the late Jurchen period? Rest assured, this nation is inherently suited to a system that requires strong organizational capabilities.

Why did this system take root and flourish only here? Because of the inherent organizational nature of agricultural societies.

The Qin Dynasty was able to extend its political power to the county level, something many countries couldn't do even two thousand years later.

Townships rely entirely on self-governance, and the central authorities have no influence over them.

We are different; this system is naturally suited to our history and culture.

Cao Huan was persuaded.

As a result, the families who had various schemes discovered that Shi Qi completely ignored their ideas.

Upon arriving at a place, they first hung the names of the local powerful figures on their roofs, then distributed land to the peasants...

The subsequent measures were even more dazzling.

I just don't understand why Gu Shijiu and Shi Qi are so keen on hanging people on the roof.

Gu Shijiu: I'd like to hang it on a street lamp, but you haven't built it yet.

Such a radical change would affect the interests of all ruling classes, and almost no class would agree to it.

Even many farmers and workers cannot understand it.

They have a low level of education, are easily instigated, and have caused a lot of trouble.

But Shi Qi was determined to do it, Gu Shijiu didn't care, and with Cao Huan's help, things actually progressed step by step.

The ministers were in a state of chaos every day, and finally remembered Yao Daqing, who was still in prison.

This is Yao San Niang's biological father; she should at least show him some respect.

Although Li's death was related to Yao Daqing, the one who actually did it was the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.

Now that the Minister of Revenue's entire family has disappeared without a trace, Yao San Niang should acknowledge this father as her father, right?

The ministers, judging by common sense, felt that Yao San Niang should only resent the wicked woman who seduced her father, rather than her father.

Otherwise, why hasn't Yao Daqing been dealt with yet?

Gu Shijiu was reminded of this and then remembered that the original owner of the body had a vicious father who was in prison.

Okay, it's not that she didn't know how to handle it, she just forgot.

I'm so busy with Shi Qi every day that I don't even have time to think about such a small thing.

Now look what happened! Yao Daqing was sitting peacefully in prison when he suddenly received a cup of poisoned wine.

The jailer had previously worried that he might have some good luck, but Yao Daqing, despite being in prison, was treated quite well.

Little did he know that when Gu Shijiu finally remembered him, it would be the day of his death.

"My daughter is a national... what was it again?" Yao Daqing couldn't remember Gu Shijiu's position.

The jailers ignored him; they had already been notified that the person was dead.

Three years later.

Humans are indeed very adaptable, and most people are now gradually accepting the new system.

The powerful, aristocratic families, wealthy landowners, and gentry of the past have all been consigned to the dustbin of history, including, of course, the emperor.

The emperor is now just an ordinary worker, working as an accountant in a textile factory because he is literate.

He now lives with his youngest daughter, and the imposter prince has been returned to his biological parents.

Looking at the scene outside, he often felt as if he were in another world, unable to describe his feelings.

To say he was resigned to it would be an understatement; he was unwilling to accept it, but he was powerless to change anything.

Life went on like this, neither exciting nor dull.

Three days to go.

Shi Qi and Gu Shijiu handed over their work to Cao Huan: "From now on, these things will all be your responsibility."

"The country is in dire need of reconstruction, and many things are not yet on the right track. Comrades, we still need to work hard!"

Cao Huan, bewildered: "Are you two going on strike?"

"We're leaving now." Gu Shijiu took her hand.

"What? How can you predict the future?" Cao Huan thought for three days before concluding, "Are you two from the distant future, able to control the timeline?!"

Unfortunately, Gu Shijiu's room was empty, and Shi Qi had also disappeared.

"So suddenly... " Cao Huan felt a little lost, but then an irresistible force swept away her consciousness.

Everything around us seemed to have been paused.

When she came to her senses, she and her deskmate Yao Zhaodi looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.

“Zhao Di, you—” Cao Huan cried out in disbelief.

"This student, please answer the question from earlier." The calculus teacher, who had the worst record of failing students, called on her expressionlessly.
