Oh No, I Just Transmigrated, and the Authorities Gave Me Two Wives

[Historical what-if] + [Special Forces] + [Building an empire from the ground up] + [Raising multiple heroines] + [Decisive and ruthless] After transmigrating to the Great Qian Dynasty, Qin Lie was dumbfounded. The war had just ended, and men were in short supply. The imperial court had actually issued a “Mandatory Marriage Decree”! Any unmarried man aged eighteen or older had to go to the authorities and claim a wife. They were even required to have children, or face punishing taxes! With nothing but bare walls at home, Qin Lie had only two copper coins to his name and was worrying about how to feed himself when the authorities forced two unwanted “burdens” on him. One was the daughter of a disgraced minister, a delicate young lady fallen on hard times. The other was an orphaned refugee, a fierce girl left behind by the martial world. The villagers all waited to laugh as Qin Lie starved to death, but who could have guessed... Qin Lie: “I’m a Special Forces king. How could I let my own wives go hungry?” He invents new technology, builds firearms, and sells refined salt and white sugar across the land, becoming richer than the nation itself! He trains elite troops, pacifies the barbarians, and crushes his enemies with modern tactics. He is invincible! Before long, the delicate wife becomes a business queen, running the empire’s banks! The fierce young wife becomes a marshal who protects the nation, commanding a hundred thousand cavalry! When the Great Qian Emperor tries to strip the regional lords of their power, he sees the million-strong army behind Qin Lie and the two peerless women at his side, and panics. Emperor: “My dear subject, I’ll give you ten more princesses. Just... please don’t take the throne?” Qin Lie puts an arm around his wives and smiles calmly. “I have a share in this realm, so no one will ever dare bully them!”
