"My lord, I like war!"
"In this battle, even if we capture only one county of Chu State, we can take the opportunity to go to that county and move everything that can be moved there..."
"This battle is a national war for Da Wu!"
"Da Wu has been preparing for this battle for too long!"
"This time's war bonds, for Da Wu, the more the better, the more the better, no matter the upper limit."
"Only God knows whether this battle will be won or lost, but what Da Wu can guarantee is that all the money will be spent on this war and on Chu."
"Those princes and princes who dislike Chu but dare not provoke Chu can take this opportunity to buy bonds. Every copper you spend to buy bonds will turn into military expenses and eventually become a military expenditure. The arrows hit the Chu army, turned into a sword, chopped on the Chu army's head, and turned into pieces of mysterious armor to resist the Chu army's attack!"
Over the years, the Chu State has destroyed countless countries and many of its feudal lords.
Many countries made good promises at the beginning, granting fiefdoms and sacrifices to ensure survival.
But after one or two generations, the king of the country became useless and died of illness immediately. This became a routine.
In fact, it is not just the Chu State that does this, there are many other countries that do this. However, the Central Plains countries have the right to speak and public opinion, so the Chu State has become a black pot, as black as carbon, which cannot be washed away. Later, the Chu State simply refused to clean up their innocence. I was tired and I was a barbarian!
Listening to Fu Chai's words, many wealthy merchants and exiled nobles who were destroyed by the Chu State, as well as many princes and small princes near the Chu State who did not dare to offend the Chu State, were tempted. They really planned to support him. Wu Guoyibo.
Just spending some money, even if the Wu State cannot cause great harm to the Chu State, it can still attract the Chu State's attention and make its own country safer for a while, right?
At the very least, when most of Chu's attention is on Wu, won't it be busy annexing other countries?
Fu Chai was still giving a speech, while Jiang Hua summoned senior officials to discuss the matter.
This meeting was not discussed in the lobby. Instead, everyone sat at different round tables. There was no direct arrangement of seats, but everyone consciously divided into three circles.
"You can just say whatever you want." Jiang Hua said calmly.
As he said that, Jiang Hua looked around, and at a glance, it was indeed different.
Sitting at the top of the first circle is Prime Minister Yu. After the founding of the Yan Kingdom, he took over the position of prime minister. However, today's prime minister does not have much power anymore. All political powers are given to the ministers under Prime Minister Yu. Ling Xiao He took over, and he was often a mascot.
Sitting at the top of the second circle is still Taiwei Yan. Like Prime Minister Yu, Taiwei has now become a mascot, and the main power of the military has been given to the general Wu Qi.
And Xiao He and Wu Qi are both innate immortals. In addition to being a Xiantian, Wu Qi is also a first-generation monarch. He is currently training prefecture-level Taoist soldiers and is about to succeed.
Next to Wu Qi is Han Xin. The young boy who was one year younger than Jiang Hua has now become an innate immortal. The Xuan-level Taoist soldiers exported by Yancheng were formulated by Han Xin. From how to select people, to how to train, to what to eat during training, and how to deal with different situations, this series of Xuan-level Taoist soldier training encyclopedia is From Han Xin's hand.
He often travels to other countries to guide other countries in training Xuan-level Taoist soldiers. In today's world, that is also famous. There were even people who wanted to recruit Han Xin to become a general, but they were all rejected by Han Xin.
Today, Han Xin has become famous at a young age and has been put into important positions early. Although he is often slandered as a son-in-law, this is actually all false news.
When Han Xin was a teenager, he was favored by Grandpa Gillian and obtained a large number of Yancheng journals from Grandpa Gillian. He then became self-taught and became a doctor at a young age. Most importantly, when bidding farewell to Grandpa Gillian, Grandpa Gillian gritted her teeth and funded Han Xin with 100 million yuan, saying it was Gillian's dowry. At that time, Han Xin became engaged to Gillian.
With the 100 million yuan, Han Xin brought Gillian to Yancheng. Gillian originally thought that she would live a hard life for a while, but she never expected that soon after arriving in Yancheng, Han Xin was read by Jiang Hua because of an article. , and then got reused.
Nowadays, they are getting married very early.
Gillian was not very qualified, but Han Xin directly fed her a second-generation fruit of innate spiritual roots. After eating a piece of fruit, Gillian is now the Prime Minister. This is the so-called lack of qualifications, and treasures must be collected.
Today, Han Xin is very happy in Yancheng, so how could he leave Yancheng for no reason?
Therefore, those who want to poach have failed.
Sitting below Xiao He is Li Bing. In the past few decades, Li Bing has been responsible for Yancheng's water control work, mainly responsible for land reclamation and the integration of Yancheng's water system on land.
The latter has been completed long ago. Now every moment, the counties and counties of Yancheng on land will be nourished by the water system, subtly increasing the aura concentration of the entire Yancheng. As a result, many spiritual fields and spiritual springs were born in Yancheng, and there are more outstanding people than in the past.
The project of reclamation and land reclamation will never end.
Today, more than 80 counties have been filled in Yancheng. The land has also been developed again. All the counties combined have already reached 206 counties. As for the population, it has expanded to a full 700 million.
Thanks to the universal education in Yancheng, the rate of alchemists and compatriots today has increased from about one percent when the Dao Extermination Order was issued to one-tenth of what it is today. This is ten times what it used to be. Fortunately, Yancheng has a lot of money. Otherwise, after running so many extraordinary educations, ordinary places would be financially bankrupt before they even get back their money.
As for the third circle, it is the circle of Qi Refiners.
Most of the people in this circle are relatively pure. They cannot be defined by civil servants or military generals. They are more like scientific talents and professional talents. Most of them have names in Yancheng Academy.
In the past, the alchemist could be granted the position of assistant teacher, the warlock could be granted the position of teacher, the Taoist priest could be granted the position of doctor, and the Taoist priest could be granted the position of offering wine. Jiang Hua himself was the chief wine offering, and the prime minister of all affairs in the academy. But in fact, Jiang Hua was very busy and did not have much time to manage the academy. Therefore, at that time, Taoist Changkong was in charge of everything in the academy.
Nowadays, Yancheng has changed a lot, and there are many masters and countless geniuses.
If you want to be an assistant teacher, you must at least be a warlock, to be a formal teacher, you must be a Taoist priest, to be a doctor, you must be a Taoist priest, and to be a wine sacrificer, you must be a real person.
So many young geniuses born fifteen years later in Baijia always feel as if they were born decades late every time they see their predecessors with poor cultivation but high professional titles.
Little did they know that when the seniors looked at these young and energetic juniors, they also envied them: How could they have such good learning conditions back then? The teaching materials are all compiled by a group of Taoist priests led by real people. After compilation, they will be evaluated by a group of alchemists and ordinary people from multiple angles, and finally become official learning textbooks.
In the eyes of many seniors, the current teaching materials of Yancheng Academy, if placed among the sects of the past, are the secrets that are not taught and are the best in terms of foundation building.
The younger generation envies the professional title of the older generation, the older generation envies the great environment of the younger generation, and they envy each other.
Old uncle Jiang Shi is here, Lin Er, Peng Bing and Taoist Changkong are all here.
Peng Bing had opened 80,000 acupoints a few years ago, and then he had to lament that the remaining 40,000 acupoints might not be able to be opened even if he spent the rest of his life: his body would not be able to support it in a short time.
Afterwards, Peng Bing sighed and made a breakthrough. After the breakthrough, his strength was not weak among real people.
As for Taoist Changkong, she became an innate immortal in a normal way. As for the future, the way forward, and so on, like Peng Bing, he can't control so much now, and there is no time to slowly polish it to the limit. Yancheng needs an innate immortal, and the academy needs an innate immortal of its own to take charge, so Changkong The Taoist also made a breakthrough more than ten years ago.
At a glance, if Jiang Hua is added to them, there are eight innate immortals. Such strength is stronger than many large vassal states.
Unknowingly, Yancheng has reached what it is today.
As for those who hope to become real people and the first generation of monarchs, there are even more. Just counting, there are dozens of people.
Lu Buwei has found a way forward and is now on the verge of a breakthrough.
Step by step, Qingmei Taoist has now deduced all the seven treasures of plum blossoms to the level of sacrificial magic weapons. He has been working hard to combine the seven treasures into one and evolve an innate spiritual root or spiritual treasure. He is working hard. When she succeeds, she becomes a real person.
Although the old uncle Jiang Shi is still far away from the 10,000 kinds of ten thousand year old spiritual roots, as long as Yancheng maintains its current development speed, Baijia will be able to become the first generation monarch in a hundred years or so.
Feng Qingyang, he was the least conspicuous among the three giants in the cabinet.
At that time, both Feng Yi and Qu Wu came from one hundred and seventy-three families in the East China Sea, so the last person could only be from a local family. In the end, they chose Feng Qingyang.
Decades ago, when Yancheng was developing rapidly, the cultivation levels of Feng Yi and the others gradually failed to keep up. So Feng Qingyang resolutely combined his body with the treasure inherited from Wenquxing in the Ziwei Palace, thereby directly becoming a Taoist priest.
It took more than ten years for Feng Yi and Qu Wu to successfully break through.
Nowadays, Feng Yi and Qu Wu are both senior Taoist priests, but the possibility of breakthrough is indeed not very high. They still need to accumulate a lot of time, but there is still hope, and they can be regarded as seed players.
But Feng Qingyang is different. Perhaps because of holding his breath, Feng Qingyang has now become a representative of the local faction.
The local faction is relatively complicated. At the beginning, only the locals in Yancheng were considered the local faction, and the others were all foreigners.
Then, the locals added one hundred and seventy-three families in Donghai to become the local faction.
Then, the local people were added to the 173 families of Donghai, and the Taoists of Chao Kingdom became the local sect.
Later, the entire Yancheng became a local faction.
In the eyes of different people, the criteria for classifying localism are also different.
Feng Qingyang's path forward is very clear. He just needs to find a way to upgrade Wenquxing's inherited treasure to a spiritual treasure.
If it were in the past, Yancheng would definitely not be able to do it. But now, with the efforts of countless cabinet elites, they have really found some solutions, and they are currently working hard. After this series of experiments is completely successful, Feng Qingyang will be able to successfully break through and become a real person.
As for using treasures to break through, would it be inappropriate?
of course not.
Because, without the help of treasures, there is no way to break through. If that's the case, why bother?
In the past fifty years, Yancheng has made great progress, and many veterans cannot keep up with the times.
Taoist priests are the limit for many people.
Even if the environment improves, even if there are sufficient resources, and even if there are enough skills, Taoist priests and ministers are already the limit of most monks.
Just like Han Xin's wife Gillian, Han Xin never expected his wife to become a real person through her own efforts, so he exchanged the fruit for Gillian for an innate spiritual root without saying a word. After Gillian ate it, she gained thousands of dollars. Years of life and still youth.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hua couldn't help but look at Prime Minister Yu and Tai Weiyan.
When the Dao Extermination Order was first issued, these two uncles could be said to have taken the greatest credit.
But now, as time goes by, the two uncles just feel that they cannot keep up with the times, and are afraid of dragging down the development of Yancheng, so they take the initiative to abdicate in favor of talents. It's just that Jiang Hua felt that Yancheng still needed them, so he let them continue to be prime ministers and lieutenants.
If there were no other great opportunities for these two old uncles, it would be difficult for them to continue to make breakthroughs.
However, what Yancheng does not lack most is opportunities.
"Earth-level Taoist soldiers always feel like there's something missing. There's always just a little bit missing. I feel like I have to fight against real-level masters in person, or observe them up close before I can come to a conclusion."
"So, why don't we start a war with the Dragon Lord? Back then, I controlled the Xuan-level Taoist soldiers to slaughter a real dragon, bathed in the true dragon's essence and blood and broke through. Now, I will try to surround the Dragon Lord and create a real earth-level army. Dao Bing, this can be considered a good story." Han Xin said confidently.
Dragon Lord refers to the Dragon Lord of the East China Sea, which refers to the nominal overlord respected by all the water tribes in the East China Sea.
Under this Dragon Lord, there are more than a dozen pure-blooded true dragons. Some of these pure-blooded true dragons are the wives of the Dragon Lord, and some are the sons and daughters of the Dragon Lord. As for the rest of the hybrid dragons, Lord Long himself may not even know how many there are.
As for whether he could surround and kill Long Jun, a being who was comparable to a real person, Han Xin had never worried.
Even if the Dragon Lord is stronger above the East China Sea, so what? Even if he can't do it, isn't there still Yancheng? Aren’t there all of you here?
What are the rules for dealing with a non-my race like Long Jun? Just get on, everyone, shoulder to shoulder!
