Gun Law!

Dragons, Titanoboa, Giants these kinds of creatures might only exist in myth but in this world where people use Qi to strengthen their body, manipulate elements, and control their soul, these mythical creatures are as real as they can get, Jin Sung's thought wanders as he leans on his chair while gazing towards the sky from his office through the floor to ceiling windows which had 2 red curtains tied to the side, the office has an elegant medieval style, with ornate gold and fragrant rosewood as the material of the furniture, and fine wood and smooth stone as the building blocks of his office, 2 well-crafted swords in a cross is hung on a wall, beside him is a banner with a figure of Liberty holding a torch and a tablet, a bookshelf filled with books about the knowledge of the world, and a golden chest placed beside the bookshelf makes the room mystique and unique.

The sky was clear with little to no cloud to look at, except the blazing sun which could burn his eyes if the windows are of low quality, Jin Sung can feel the warmth as the sun shines his face through the windows, he still wears his black suit but his mask had been lifted so he can enjoy the sun, what a great day to be alive! He thought.

Jin Sung is currently in a castle of which is his office is built, where he can overlook the city, he can see his citizen going to work, gossiping about their neighbor, the guards' march orderly with their firearms as they patrol the city, but one particular thing he notices differently about them is that they have hope in their eyes, the hope of the future, hope that tomorrow would be better, people can go out anywhere they like, do whatever they want without cultivators ruining their day now, my first citizen who have tasted the sweetness of freedom, once they taste it they wouldn't be able to release it and they would fight to keep it Jin Sung subtly smile.

Since BrinePort and Jin Sung had made an alliance, he immediately builds a new government in Xiangwei and controls the city, now with the city under his control and BrinePort as his supplier he can manufacture more firearms and recruit more soldiers and most of these soldiers are the common people in Xiangwei who would like to protect their freedom. Not only that he also bought knowledge about medical knowledge, culinary, art, astronomy, mathematic, science, geography, and many more, he distributes them to the smartest brain and tells them to teach people when they fully understand the knowledge, in shorts he builds schools and makes them free of charge so people can join and learn all they like.

When he takes control of the city he learns a thing or two about governing it, but the most important thing that he learns was that the city has a lot of money to spare, so much in fact that it is so disgusting to see the pile of gold that he receives from tax alone. When Leslea had reported to him about how much tax income the city got he was startled, the city was so rich yet the people were so poor, 'Well it's not surprising that cultivators wouldn't care about the common people' Jin Sung thought while he takes his glass of wine that placed on a small stool beside him and sip it.

The city's main source of income is by selling meat and grain, but it is severely lacking in others like stone, steel, gemstone, etc.

'Knock, Knock' the noise of a door got knocked on is heard and Jin Sung kicks his feet to turn his chair as it was a swivel chair personally made to fulfill Jin Sung's request, he was quite pleased by the quality."Come in!" Jin Sung looks for his pen and paper before saying so.

"Sir, the public toilet that you design had been built in various locations of the city," Leslea said after she walks to Jin Sung's desk.

Jin Sung nod."Good, good, now people can have some privacy when they take a dump, is there anything else?"

"Yes, the news of your successful coup against cultivators has spread around the empire, this makes more civilians coming into the city as they heard that you will not treat them unjustly but we have a problem,"

"Let me guess, we have too many people?" Jin Sung glances towards leslea, not even bothering to write the report.

Leslea nod."Yes, the inns in the city are full and they can't accommodate more people, so these people are currently building camps outside the city,"

Jin Sung point towards the window behind him with his thumb over his shoulder."You see that huge and tall pagoda behind me, build more of them and modified them so we can accommodate more people!" Jin Sung said towards Leslea without turning his head.

Leslea glances towards the tall pagoda and thought that it was a brilliant idea, she nods."I'll tell the construction team to build more of that, but what about the land, your policy makes us unable to take people's land by force, so we can't build them wherever we like," Leslea retorted after pondering it for a moment

Jin Sung subtly smiles."Just say that the landowner will get 20℅ of the profit made by the Pagoda Inn, and will get a special room on his own inside the pagoda,"

Jin Sung wanted to build skyscrapers but this world has its own style of skyscrapers so he thought why not just build more of it, not to mention the pagoda had a lot of floors just like skyscrapers back on earth, and the reason he only gave 20℅ to the landowner is that the cost of building it is not cheap at all, if it was cheap then it wouldn't be an HQ of a sect unless the sect is broke.

Leslea nod took a notebook and a pen she kept inside her pocket and write something on it."Next, we have a problem with the military recruitment,"

Jin Sung raises one eyebrow and looks towards Leslea."What? Is the salary not enough or is it because they need to get married first before they get the extra benefit? Tell them that they fight for freedom and happiness, who cares about money when you can't use it freely?"

"It's not that sir" Leslea said "The people who want to join the army is also too many, and we have run out of room to create more barracks,"

Jin Sung spread his hand as he said."Can't you just build it outside of the city? built a fortress that strategically defends the city, coordinate with the city planner about this, don't get your idea boxed in by the city, I'm planning to remove the wall in the future and have the city expand without boundaries!"

Leslea was startled."If you do that the enemy could easily siege us, sir!"

"That's why I said I planned to do it in the future where my country is strong enough to make cities without walls!" Jin Sung always had his sight into the future, this was very typical from a guy who comes from modern earth where things advance very fast and if you keep on thinking what would you do tomorrow, people would already leave you in the dust 10 years ahead.

Leslea felt that thinking that far is useless as the situation could change at any time and it's better to prepare for the current situation than the latter but she nods nonetheless."Next, we have received a new batch of artifact and other materials that are needed to create the firearms, we have bought these materials for 1,000 firearms, 1,000 mines, and 10 mortar, the material that they gave us is enough to make 10 times the number of firearms we give to them,"

Jin Sung nod in satisfaction."A very good price, we have people, we have money, we have firepower, heck I think I'm ready to conquer the whole empire now!"

Leslea shakes her head a few times in response to Jin Sung's remark."The Theulux Empire is only one of your enemy, if you succeed in conquering Theulux then all nearby kingdom will destroy you because your ideology will make the common people left their kingdom and there will be no more slaves or worker for them to do the grunt work,"

Jin Sung ponders before he glances towards Leslea."I thought you don't like to think far ahead, other kingdoms can't defeat us because I have a very crazy solution!"

Leslea rolls her eyes because she knows that Jin Sung wouldn't tell her unless she asks."What is it?" Leslea sigh.

"You really want to know?" Jin Sung smiled.

"Yes"

"My solution is to let all the common people buy firearms from us, with that if the cultivators decide to bully the common people, they gotta pray that bullets will not rain on them!" Jin Sung had a dangerous gleam flashed in his eyes, his true intention is not only to prevent the common people from being bullied by cultivators but also wanted to plant some seed of revolution into them, with time Jin Sung wouldn't need to fight by himself as more and more people would rebel and with his firearms he is confident that he can help them.

The world would be filled with war, as firearms and bows exchange fire, mortars and cannon exchange shells, it would be the bloodiest era this world would have ever seen, millions would die but Jin Sung knows that this is necessary, countless times history have told us that you need to fight for your own freedom, war, death, misery, and hardship would be a necessary price for freedom, Jin Sung knows that he can't fight alone there are so many things he didn't know about this world and if rebels succeeded in their coup, he would have more allies to fight for his ideology, freedom for all humanity.

Leslea didn't know what was inside Jin Sung's head nevertheless she can't help but be startled at how brilliant the idea was."That's a fantastic idea!" Leslea was excited, as a common person without the talent for cultivation she knows how scary cultivators are for people like her, if a cultivator decides to take your chastity then you can't do anything about it as you are powerless against them, you can't control qi to nourish your body and soul or control the element, you are weak, but with this firearm, it is guaranteed that cultivators will have a second thought before they decide to bump into you just to ruin your day, the night when she got taken and was almost raped still haunt her to this day, and she still feels unsafe when she wanders alone especially at night so the idea of having firearms that makes people think twice before harming her is like a perfect medicine that she currently needs.
