Just use joypad.set with the table returned from joypad.read, with your changes to it.
For Fu Bing, it's possible that we can pick up Jia Xu after the Dong Zhuo chapter. He's got exactly 220 INT and after the battle we're level 9. The 400 HP would help in the next section as well.

endI don't know if you already know this, but you can slowly move the camera around just by moving the cursor towards the edge of the screen. I don't think it pauses the city like the quick pan does...
At the moment, I'm wondering if I should just sit there until the end of the year or pan the camera around the growing city and slow things down (holding any button on the controller freezes time) for entertainment. [...]
The population goes up just above 70000 before settling around 46000, largely because of transportation decay.
