Xu Fu established himself as the governor of this place, and several surrounding city-states felt a huge threat. After all, it was a country, and it was destroyed so easily.
But they did not send troops to provoke Xu Fu because they were all suppressed.
Xu Fu and others only numbered a hundred or so when they arrived. Actually wiped out a country with tens of thousands of people?
Now that there are tens of thousands of outsiders, who is still his opponent?
In fact, if the surrounding city-states unite and give Xu Fu a fatal blow while he is still unknown, then even Xu Fu will be in trouble.
It's a pity that those city-states have their own agendas and usually attack each other, so they can't unite now.
To them, foreigners are indeed hostile. But... this hostility is not obvious, but it is caused by the surrounding city-states, which are feuds. A life-and-death feud.
Some city-states even began to think: These foreigners are so brave. If I ask them to help destroy other city-states, I don’t know what the effect will be...
Xu Fu, on the other hand, is promulgating decrees one after another based on the experience of Qin Dynasty.
He is planning farmland, promoting culture and education, and teaching the natives the knowledge of sowing and fertilizing...
Although it has been less than ten days since we occupied this place, the entire city-state has already taken on a new look.
Among the natives, there are also some elderly people with farsightedness.
They said to Xu Fu: "Now that the soldiers have taken over this place, it is inappropriate to use the old name. Please ask the county governor to change the name of this place."
After hearing this, Xu Fu felt deeply convinced.
The original name of this city-state was Otygia. According to the native language, it means pearl.
But to Qin people, it sounds weird and hard to remember.
Xu Fu thought for a while and said to the sailors: "We have traveled thousands of miles across the ocean and finally arrived at this place. I know you all miss your hometown."
"So, how about we call this the New Theater City?"
"Xianyang is in the middle of the world. It's called New Xianyang, which is a bit arrogant. And the theater city defends Xianyang. Calling it the new theater city can relieve the pain of lovesickness."
The sailors nodded in agreement.
They didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but since they named the city New Theater City, they suddenly felt a lot more friendly looking at the flowers, plants and trees in a foreign land.
Xu Fu has been very busy recently. He was worried that this matter would be messed up, so he was thinking about it very hard.
Because he knows that every move he makes now will be recorded in history books in the future.
When you are alive, don’t you just want to be famous forever?
Just when Xu Fu was very busy, his entourage found Xu Fu.
He said to Xu Fu: "Sir, I think this place is a good place with luxuriant water and grass and flat terrain. Now we only occupy one city, which is too small. We should continue to expand our territory."
Xu Fu glanced at him and smiled slightly: "Are you worried that your credit will be too small and you won't be able to leave your name in the history books in the future?"
The attendant laughed dryly, and then took out a piece of paper.
He said sheepishly: "The sailors and I chatted privately and came up with an idea."
Xu Fu spread the paper, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said in surprise: "What is this?"
The entourage said: "We think it's better to set a rule. Every time we occupy a city in the future, we will name it New Theater City, New Linzi, New Handan..."
"But below the city, there are counties, townships, and villages..."
"We come from a humble background, so the county and township don't dare to think about it. As for the name of this village, how about our name? In this way, thousands of years later, we can leave something to future generations."
Xu Fu looked at the things on the paper: black dogs, leftover dogs, blind cows, pig shit... he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
The attendant looked nervous and said, "Sir, is that okay?"
Xu Fu said quietly: "I don't have any objection. I just don't know whether future generations will be willing to live in Pig Shit Village."
The entourage scratched his head and said: "The name is certainly not elegant, but the reputation is easy to make a living on. We are here to expand territory and do dangerous work."
"Perhaps because the name is too overbearing, we survived?"
Xu Fu nodded: "Well, this name... is indeed very domineering."
The attendant asked cautiously: "So... has your Excellency agreed?"
Xu Fu nodded: "That's all, let's just follow this name."
The entourage was immediately delighted.
After he put the paper away, he said to Xu Fu: "Sir, when will we attack other city-states?"
Xu Fu shook his head: "We will not attack."
The attendant was immediately disappointed and murmured to himself: "Aren't you going to attack? With so many names, it seems that the village is not enough."
Xu Fu said: "Before coming here, the Exalted Immortal once told me something. It said that attacking the city is the most important thing, and attacking the heart is the most important thing. I didn't understand it at first. I thought that when swords are pressed, no one will be convinced, even if they don't. I have a sword in my hand and I am not afraid of him at all.”
"But in recent days, I have thought about it again and again, and I feel more and more that the words of banishing the immortal are extremely subtle."
"How did we agree to those people in Wu Guduo? What we used was not swords, but people's hearts."
"We conquered the hearts of the natives first, and then the natives helped us defeat Wu Gudao."
The attendant nodded and said, "Yes, we all know this."
Xu Fu smiled slightly and said: "So, the four words for "attacking the heart of the banished immortal" are too powerful. I decided to continue to follow the path pointed out by the banished immortal."
The attendant asked curiously: "How to do it specifically?"
Xu Fu said with a smile: "How did we conquer the natives of New Theater City?"
The attendant scratched his head and said, "This... seems to have started with paying homage to the gods of our Great Qin."
Xu Fu nodded: "Yes, that's exactly it."
"I, His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin, the Crown Prince of Great Qin, and the Immortal of Great Qin. These three can be called the Three Immortals."
"I order you to choose some people who are articulate and extremely pious. Whether they are Qin people or native people, they can be sent out as long as they are willing."
"Here we spread the science of immortality and teach the natives to worship the Three Immortals."
"As long as they pay homage to the Three Immortals, we can use Da Qin's medical skills to treat their illnesses, we can use Da Qin's knowledge to predict wind and rain for them, and we can use Da Qin's experience to teach them farming and harvesting."
"Even if they have received unfair treatment, we can also come forward to help them seek justice."
"In a word, although they are natives thousands of miles away, as long as they submit to our Great Qin and worship the Three Immortals, then we will treat them as brothers and sisters and treat them equally."
"As long as they become the people of Da Qin, the lives they lived like pigs, dogs, cattle and horses in the past will be gone forever. They are just like us, living people with dignity."
These words made the followers' blood boil.
He nodded vigorously and said: "Sir, this is a wonderful move. I believe that within three years, there will be no need to use troops, and this place will be ours."
"Xianxue is knowledge that can be seen and touched. Everyone can benefit from it on the spot. How can they not believe in it?"
Xu Fu smiled and nodded, and then said: "However, there is another difficulty in this."
The attendant asked: "Please show me, sir."
Xu Fu said: "The kings of the feudal states here often pretend to be gods. If we spread immortality, I'm afraid they will hate us and obstruct us."
The attendant was stunned for a moment and said, "This seems to be the case. What can be done about it?"
Xu Fu said: "In the past, when Buddhism spread in Xianyang City, it seemed that there were three places in the world, namely the Paradise, the human world, and hell."
The attendant said: "Yes, I have also heard about it. It is said that the Paradise is full of gold and flowers. The people there are carefree and do not suffer from birth, old age, illness and death. They live in great happiness every day. Therefore, Call it Nirvana.”
"If you want to go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss, you must have accumulated great virtues during your lifetime, do one good deed every day, be cautious in your words and deeds, respect the Buddha, and be compassionate..."
Xu Fu nodded.
The attendant added: "It is said that this hell is unspeakably miserable. Hell is a huge prison, and the people who live in it suffer every day."
"It is said that in this hell, there are souls who are guilty and guilty. Those who liked to talk nonsense during their lifetime will be sent to the tongue-pulling hell. During their lifetime..."
Xu Fu coughed dryly: "Okay, you understand it thoroughly enough."
"What I mean is that it's better to use the terms of heaven and hell."
"For example, we can tell the natives that they eat hair and drink blood, which is against the laws of nature, and they will go to hell after death."
"As long as they believe in me, the Three Immortals of Great Qin, with the supreme magic power of the Three Immortals, we can let them enter heaven at our discretion."
The entourage was overjoyed: "In this case, those people are still flocking to my three immortals? Even if the Cao Tou King of the country does not allow them to believe in it, I am afraid they will secretly believe in it."
Xu Fu smiled slightly and said: "However, this is not enough. You also have to tell them that to measure a person's merit, it is not enough to only look at his own practice."
"It also depends on whether he has spread immortality and saved other people. The more people he saves, it will be considered a merit, and it is a great merit."
"As long as you save enough mortals, you can even visit heaven during your lifetime."
"If this is the case, wouldn't everyone be striving to be the first to spread the knowledge of immortality?"
The attendant's face flushed with excitement: "Yes, yes, sir, you are really amazing."
Xu Fu smiled slightly: "These are just trivial tricks. In addition, the scriptures of this immortal school must be revised. You can't recite them to four or five families in Yancun for two or three miles."
"These are too childish. If those natives learn the Qin language, I'm afraid they will be suspicious."
The attendant asked curiously: "Then what should we do?"
Xu Fu thought for a while and said: "Let's seize the time and make up a book of immortal learning. This book can be divided into two themes."
"The first topic is to introduce me, Da Qin. While introducing, we must also spread our ideas."
"In the beginning, it is written: In the beginning, the heaven and the earth were not divided, and there was chaos like a chicken egg. The great god Pangu walked in the chaos. He said that there must be an axe, so there was an axe."
"Pangu split the heaven and earth with his axe. Then the clear and light ones rose up to become the sky. The heavy and turbid ones sank to become the earth."
"Hou Pangu transformed his body into mountains and rivers to nourish all living beings."
"Thousands of years later, Nuwa was born again. Nuwa kneaded earth to create humans and gave souls to mortals. Nuwa saw that mortals were good, so the more the better."
"She teaches mortals to reproduce and reproduce, and she will enable mortals to raise offspring, have many descendants, and serve as the leaders of all living things."
"Later, saints such as Fuxi and Suiren appeared. They made China a paradise for all generations."
"The king of the Later Zhou Dynasty was immoral and angered the gods. The princes caused chaos, which lasted for more than four hundred years and the people were in ruins."
"So God sent the emperor, Fu Yao, and the banished immortal to the earth together to save the people."
"Everyone who believes in the Three Immortals will be saved. We in Qin are people who save the world and save people. We have traveled thousands of miles and drifted across the Double Ninth Festival to come here. I only hope that wherever the sun can find it, there will be believers in the Three Immortals."
The attendants were elated when they heard this, and sighed repeatedly, saying: "Wonderful, wonderful. Sir, you are really amazing."
Xu Fu smiled slightly and said: "I just said it casually. You can find a few more people to polish it and add some plots."
The attendant nodded vigorously: "I understand, villain."
Then, he left in a hurry.
Xu Fu sat in the room, thought for a while, and wrote a letter to Li Shui, reporting the situation here in detail.
However, Xu Fu didn't know when this letter would be delivered.
At least... at least until the sailors repair the ship.
And... we also need to figure out the hydrological conditions here. Otherwise, it would be too miserable if the ship sank as soon as it went to sea.
…………
Xu Fu was engaged in construction in full swing in the New World.
A hundred miles away, Liu Ji was working tirelessly to deal with the natives.
Now Liu Ji has learned the language of the natives. After all, these natives are too cruel. After learning their language, there will be fewer obstacles in communication between the two parties and they will be beaten less.
Liu Ji was very talented, and after he mastered the language, he began to confuse these natives.
He began to teach the natives how to fertilize, farm, and make weapons.
Gradually, the natives began to respect Liu Ji.
In fact, they no longer tied up Liu Ji and others with ropes.
And Liu Ji did not run away.
Lu Wan once suggested that Liu Bang take advantage of the natives to relax their vigilance and run away quickly and leave this ghost place.
But Liu Ji refused.
The reason for Liu Ji's refusal is simple. In order to impress this group of natives, I really tried my best to impress them.
Want to run away now? Where to escape? If you get caught by another group of natives, don't you have to start all over again?
It would be better to stay and conquer this group of natives.
Liu Ji is confident that with his own skills, he will soon be the leader of these natives.
As long as this group of people is gathered, there will be capital in this place.
Soon, it will be possible to become king and dominate, just by possessing this place.
For a time, Liu Ji, who had just adapted to his status as a prisoner, became active again.
"I shall be the king of this place!" Liu Ji shouted silently in his heart.
