In short, the current priority is to stabilize the regime, restore production, and increase the population again.
This involves dealing with natural disasters and man-made calamities. Natural disasters include droughts, floods, and extreme snowstorms, while man-made calamities include the spread of plagues.
Governing a country well requires a tremendous amount of brainpower.
However, these are currently irrelevant to Lu Ming. He will simply arrange things and then hand them over to the Prime Minister for execution.
The Prime Minister oversees all officials, and Lu Ming will make the arrangements.
Each link in the chain will have its own informants to ensure no one is misled.
As long as things are done well, minor flaws are insignificant.
Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Zhang He, and others will be transferred to the area outside Yumen Pass to fight the Kushan Empire, while Zhang Liao, Lü Bu, Gao Shun, and others will advance beyond the Great Wall northwards to drive the Xiongnu further away.
Simultaneously, the grasslands will be occupied to raise warhorses and livestock for meat.
Internally, they focused on recuperation and development, dredging canals, and repairing bridges and roads.
Externally, they engaged in continuous plunder, using war to sustain war and replenish resources.
Meanwhile, they relentlessly plundered resources from Japan and Goguryeo, without ever considering any real development there.
It was a continuous drain on resources, enslaving the people of those regions to provide a constant supply of resources for Qin.
Half a month later.
Lu Ming returned from the Yellow River. The rainy season had arrived, and the Yellow River's flooding was a bad sign; he needed to see it firsthand.
Accompanying him were members of the Mohist school. They had gone to discuss flood control, as with the production of steel, reservoirs could now be built.
These reservoirs could store water while simultaneously controlling floods.
A single flood would have extremely severe consequences.
Houses would collapse after being submerged, and the floodwaters would be incredibly filthy; one could imagine latrines being flooded and flowing into houses.
Even after the floodwaters receded, many germs would remain.
If not handled properly, it could lead to rampant plagues. Therefore, ancient floods were not only a matter of the initial impact of the floodwaters, but also a source of great severity after the floodwaters receded.
Besides flood control, there were also specific rainy seasons that could cause flooding.
However, in some places, the construction of reservoirs could mitigate or prevent these floods.
Controlling the rate of floodwater loss could prevent high tides.
Back in the palace, tasks were assigned.
The Mohist disciples returned to their posts to divide tasks and train apprentices. Not everyone was suited for academics, but literacy was essential; without it, nothing could be accomplished.
The Mohist teaching method was master-apprentice training until the apprentice was trained.
Back in the hot springs, he soaked.
Lu Ming leaned against Diao Chan, enjoying the massage of her breasts.
After all the work, a good rest was necessary.
He didn't plan to be overly diligent; he just wanted his subordinates to be diligent. To this end, he planned to consider subsequent system reforms.
"I need to make my subordinates work harder so I can enjoy life more."
"My lord, Wang Zhaojun has been doing quite well lately.
Should we have her come and serve us?
And Himiko from Japan, she can speak fluent Chinese now."
Diao Chan, being the woman in charge of training, knew that no matter how beautiful a woman is, a man will eventually get tired of her.
So, don't do it too often. Do it occasionally, let the man be satisfied, and then let other women serve him; that's how you keep things fresh.
Her younger sister, Lu Qing, sat to the side, teasing Lu Ming's erect penis with her delicate white feet.
One hand propped up her chin, looking somewhat languid, her beautiful eyes watching her brother's penis with great interest.
She wasn't interested in anything else; she just loved playing with weapons.
She had even formed a female bodyguard team for fun.
Lu Ming had heard about this more than once; he had previously said he wanted to favor them.
He was persuaded by the Empress to accompany his mother, and things spiraled out of control. He stayed with his mother for seven days, thoroughly ravaging her until her vagina was swollen!
His mother shoved him away, telling him to spend time with the other concubines and stop bothering her.
A mother naturally felt sorry for her son, but Lu Ming was too much of a beast; he never stopped.
His vagina was swollen, his toes were covered in teeth marks, and his breasts had been sucked until they were marked. He wouldn't have been able to show his face if he hadn't refused to let it get on his neck.
"Then let them go to the palace."
"Little sister, sit on me."
Lu Ming enjoyed Diao Chan's caresses, her small hands stroking his muscles. Her soft hands seemed to possess a strange magic, arousing a strong desire in him.
His younger sister, Lu Qingmei, chuckled and swam over in the hot spring, her white toes touching the stone slabs, the rosy nipples of her breasts just reaching the edge of the water.
Then, sitting between his legs, she guided her brother's already rock-hard penis, slowly inserting it into her vagina. With her hands supporting her on Lu Ming's hips, she began to have sex with him in a female-on-top position.
"Mmm!" Lu Ming held her waist, kissing her lips.
This position allowed them to see each other's expressions during intercourse. Naked, Lu Qing knelt on Lu Ming, her plump buttocks rising and falling on his erect penis.
Below her full, folded, snow-white belly, her vulva and full, snow-white thighs formed a beautiful picture.
Her two soft, plump, pink labia were rubbing against the small portion of Lu Ming's penis that was protruding from her vagina. As her wet, throbbing opening descended, it swallowed that small portion of his penis completely, squeezing out a gush of fluid.
The trembling waves of flesh on Lu Qing's plump buttocks slapped against Lu Ming's groin with each rise and fall, producing a series of slapping sounds that mingled with the wet sounds of her vaginal penetration.
Her buttocks used to be small and delicate, but after Lu Ming's repeated thrusts and childbirth, her pelvis had opened up, making them large and arousing. A woman with a large butt always excites a man's desire.
"Mmm...good brother...ah...fuck me to death...bad brother...ah...mmm...fuck me...ah...mmm...so deep...oh...the head is all the way in...ah...ah...so deep...so good..."
Lu Qing's hands braced against Lu Ming's hips, her two round, pendulous, snow-white breasts bouncing and dancing with each thrust of his penis...the dark nipples bouncing up and down, their large areolas swaying, a captivating sight.
Lu Qing, the younger sister, vigorously stirred her vagina, squeezing the penis inside so tightly it swayed wildly, all to make Lu Ming ejaculate inside her as quickly as possible, leaving him no energy to rape Diao Chan.
She wanted to possess her brother, to completely dominate his large penis!
