Just after the temple ceremony ended, Jiang Hua received a greeting card from Gongzi Si.
When he saw the invitation, Jiang Hua had some guesses about Gongzi Si's purpose, so this time he did not put on Yan Bo's formal clothes, but the regular clothes worn by a Qi Refiner.
There was a white crane and some white clouds embroidered on the chest, and the location was chosen in a small pavilion in the mountains. Feng Yi was in charge of making tea, while Jiang Hua and Young Master Si sat opposite each other.
After sipping tea for a while, Young Master Si expressed his intention of coming: "Jun Yan, I came here today mainly because the general situation of the world is about to change, so I am about to leave Yancheng."
In the past fifty years, the world has been peaceful. Although there have been occasional wars in some places, it has been relatively peaceful overall.
"Next, Wu's attack on Chu, whether successful or failed, will contain Chu's power, making Chu unable to send troops to the Central Plains."
When the Chu State was unable to send troops to the Central Plains, the Central Plains princes could free their hands and engage in internal fighting.
For example, the accounts of the Zhi family and the Han, Zhao, and Wei families over the years can be carefully settled.
For example, Tian could also take the opportunity to replace Qi.
There are too many variables, and it is no longer possible for the world to continue to develop peacefully as it did in the past.
war!
war!
Continuous wars!
Premonition of such a future, Gongzisi will no longer be able to continue farming slowly in Yancheng, and it is time to leave.
Taking advantage of the fact that the war has not yet completely broken out, and taking advantage of the fact that Wei's face is still very useful, he quickly greeted the princes of various countries, and then returned to Jin in the direction of Xu, Song, Zheng, and Jin. However, now that the Xu State has been destroyed, the territory of the Xu State has either been divided up by the Chu State or occupied by the Wu State.
In other words, you will have to say hello to Wu Guo then.
Gongzi Si and a few friends went back, of course there was no need for such trouble, but Gongzi Si did not want to abandon the people of Hanoi County, he wanted to take some of the people back with him.
"Fifty years ago, when Yancheng was first opened, Gu was just an ordinary young man. His strength was not worth mentioning. He had not found a way forward and his talent was limited. If he could not find a way forward at that time, he might not be able to find a way forward. We can only continue along the path of our predecessors.”
"Twenty years ago, Gu accumulated enough and successfully broke through. Now he is a first-generation monarch."
"Moreover, two of my good friends have also achieved breakthroughs over the years." Having said this, Gongzisi's face was full of satisfaction.
When I first came here, I thought that even if the entire army in Hanoi County was wiped out, as long as Li Kui could successfully break through, it would be worth it!
Then they met the opponent of Taiping Dao. At first, they still fought against Taiping Dao, but when Taiping Dao really came up with the inheritance of the Taiping Sutra and the Heavenly Book for people to understand, the situation turned around.
There are so many people willing to buy Taipingdao bonds at a premium. Although Gongzisi is also a person who buys bonds at a premium, this does not prevent Gongzisi from cursing other people who buy bonds at a premium for being stupid.
After all, Gongzisi once studied the Heavenly Book seriously. That study saved Gongzisi about ten years of hard training and gained a lot.
Then came Qinglian Fantasy World, who never expected to be directly beaten by Taiping Taoist. That was such a miserable failure. Looking back now, it is still an unprecedented defeat since Gongzisi was born.
The failure was so miserable that there was no hope of winning at all.
However, it has also entered a new era.
Since then, things similar to Huang Tian's will have emerged one after another.
Wang Jujun of Li County developed what he regarded as a Confucian will.
Gong Zifei even created a legal net early on, using the legal net to connect the people under his rule, every piece of land under his rule, and even every ray of spiritual energy. Everything is within the legal network. It is said that the legal network is extensive and there are no omissions.
Young Master Si also followed suit and created the will of the great Wei Dynasty.
As for other countries, most are still waiting and watching.
The advantages of this thing are indeed very strong, but what are the disadvantages?
Who knows what the disadvantages are?
What if there is a huge pit?
As for the secret deduction, I have tried it before, but basically can't calculate any useful information.
Moreover, even if Tianji deduces some future predictions about this kind of thing, the rulers would not dare to completely believe it.
However, the land of twenty counties has become popular because of this.
The young uncle of the Fan family, who was governed by the people of the country, created a god of businessmen, named the God of Wealth. From then on, the people of the country who ruled the county began to worship the God of Wealth. It is said that in addition to wealth, the power of this God of Wealth also includes luck.
Later, various gods emerged one after another!
These gods are all man-made gods. Humans have given them will and life, turning invisible concepts into tangible lives. Then accept the offerings, beliefs, transactions, and contracts from the world, and continue to grow.
Thinking of some strange gods, Young Master Si felt very troubled. In the past thirty years or so, Hanoi County has seen so many strange and strange things in the Qinglian Fantasy World, it is really hard to describe them all!
At the most unlucky time, when the losses were the worst, half of the land in Hanoi County was lost to Taiping Road or others across the street.
However, as these wars progressed, many aspects of Hanoi County also improved rapidly.
"Today's Hanoi County has a population of 8 million and more than 40 counties. The average living standard has already reached the third stage of the Era of Great Harmony, and the extraordinary rate is as high as 9%!"
"Now, if I want to leave with some Taoist soldiers, what price will I have to pay?"
Hearing this, Jiang Hua did not answer immediately.
Among these eight million people, about one million were originally people from Hanoi County, and about one million people were people that Hanoi County snatched from the land of the other sixteen counties. These people were originally from Hanoi County. The people of the Chao Kingdom were considered Jiang Hua's property, if Gongzi Si hadn't suddenly appeared.
Most of the remaining five million people were slaves purchased by Gongzisi, slaves purchased from multinational wealthy businessmen and transnational slave traders. Logically speaking, these populations have little to do with Yancheng.
But the account cannot be settled like this.
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
Gongzisi waved to the distance, and a tall, strong but young boy appeared in front of Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua knew that he was Gongzi Si's eldest son. After Gongzi Si became the first monarch twenty years ago, he quickly got married and had a son. His wife used a secret method to get pregnant for three years and gave birth to this son. As a descendant of the first generation of monarchs, this son has very strong blood in his body. He only needs to mature gradually to possess the ultimate power of a prime minister and inherit most of the magical powers of Young Master Si.
In front of me, this young man is only sixteen years old, but he is already a second-generation prime minister!
As for the cultivation level of Qi refining, he is probably around the level of a Taoist priest, which is obviously inferior to those of bloodline ones.
"Next, Guhui will return home with two Xuan-level Taoist soldiers and their families."
"In addition, I will take away some Qi practitioners."
"In the end, Gu's eldest son Jihui will stay here and continue to serve as the governor of Hanoi County."
"Slowly, other ministers and Taoist priests of the Wei family will come to practice, and other people from the Wei family will come to practice."
Jiang Hua looked at Gongzi Chu in front of him. Although Gongzi Si was not the lord of the Wei family now, everyone could still call the young man in front of him Gongzi Chu, because he was the son of the first generation monarch.
The son of the first emperor was naturally the son.
"Today's Hanoi County has 8 million people, 800,000 Chinese people and alchemists, about 120,000 Legalist officials, and a large number of Taoist soldiers, including four Xuan-level Taoist soldiers."
"This time, I will take away 60,000 Legalist officials and their families, 200,000 alchemists and their families, and two Xuan-level Taoist soldiers and their families."
Add these together to almost one million.
The great migration of millions of people is destined to be a difficult road, but it is also very challenging. Those who finally followed Mr. Si back to the Wei family were all true confidants. With these millions of confidants, Mr. Si will soon take power after taking office.
This is the benefit of having your own team.
Especially now that Li Kui and Pang Juan have successfully broken through, even if it is a large vassal state, if the king appoints a Xiantian as a general, others will not say anything. This can be regarded as an unspoken rule. This is respect for the strong.
As for the specific price of taking away these million people, this is not a matter discussed by Jiang Hua and Gongzi Si. The two only discussed the intention, and the specific details were discussed by Li Kui and Xiao He.
"How do you plan to go back?"
"This road will pass through Wu, Song, Zheng, and finally return to Jin."
"Because many women and children are ordinary people, they try to walk by the river."
"This way, a group of Xuan-level Taoist soldiers are leading the way, building bridges when encountering mountains, building bridges when encountering water, and taking boats when encountering big rivers."
"Moreover, this time it may not only be Gu who will go back, but also Wu Shi and Fei."
At this point, Gongzi Si began to talk about the general trend of the world today: "The situation has reached this point, and there will be great turmoil in the whole world. Yancheng has the protection of the Three Saints, so we can stay out of it for the time being."
"It's just that Yancheng's current freedom mainly relies on the protection of the Three Saints. If one day the Three Saints are gone or something happens, please make preparations in advance, Lord Yan."
In the eyes of the great princes, the international status of the Three Saints is equal to that of other great princes.
But the Three Saints did not establish a country, so there was no weakness. If pressed, they might go crazy at any time. No great prince is willing to face the crazy Three Saints, but now that Yancheng is here, Yancheng is the Three Saints' weakness.
As long as there is a weakness, it can be negotiated, exploited, and calculated within the rules.
Therefore, as long as the Three Saints are still there, Yancheng will be impregnable.
But if the Three Saints are not here, perhaps, by then, Wu and Qi will join forces to carve up Yancheng. Even the Yue Kingdom might get a share of the pie.
In response to Gongzisi's reminder, Jiang Hua nodded to express that he understood.
This was also a kind reminder, so even though Gongzi Si’s reminder was very different from the actual situation, Jiang Hua still smiled happily. For this reason, he could give in at least one percentage point based on the results of the negotiations between Xiao He and Li Kui later. Show sincerity.
Although it is only a percentage point, it is definitely not a small number!
In Jiang Hua's view, Yancheng's hard power has now caught up with the ordinary princes.
Among the great princes like Song, Lu, Wei, and Yue, it's hard to say who is stronger than Yancheng at the moment.
Nowadays, only a few countries such as Qi, Qin, Chu, Jin, and Yan are stronger than Yancheng.
This is only fifty years!
If Yancheng is given another fifty years, Jiang Hua feels that even if Yancheng does not give birth to the great master at that time, it will definitely have the ability to kill the great master. At that time, Yancheng's hard power will really be able to reach the ability of the world's first-class princes.
But the problem is, peace is running out.
Next, there will be a world war.
Next, the Spring and Autumn Period ended and the Warring States Period officially entered.
Next, a large number of lords and small vassal states will perish one after another.
Next, the strength of the great vassal states will double or even increase several times.
Countless heroes will emerge and countless strong men will be born one after another.
To put it bluntly, the next version should be upgraded, and the strong ones will become stronger. Nowadays, the first generation of monarchs and the innate immortals are rampant, but in the future, only the great immortals can be rampant, and only the saints can be as tyrannical as the three saints of today's Qi practitioners.
The princes will become stronger, and the nobles will also become stronger, but can the Three Saints become stronger in time?
The Three Saints may still have Jiutian as an opponent. Even if they don't have Jiutian as an opponent, as long as the Three Saints don't break through and the princes collectively become stronger, then Yancheng will not be able to continue to be as carefree as it is now, making money from the princes at will.
Do you really think that Zhao Yang is a man who has suffered so much but dare not come back with revenge?
Everything is just for the sake of the Three Saints.
To put it bluntly, it is very simple. Up to now, Yancheng has only wanted money, not much, and knows how to share it, so the princes are willing to support it and will not deal with it for the time being.
However, these are only possibilities. Whether it can turn from possibility into reality, who knows?
Just like the person in front of him, if Jiang Hua hadn't come, if Jiang Hua hadn't been a variable in the world today, then the person in front of him would have been the son of destiny in the possible future: Wei Wenhou.
In the early Warring States period, the state of Wei dominated the world!
At that time, Wei State was beating Qin, Qi, Chu, Zhao, South Korea, and all other countries that could be beaten.
The Qin State was so painful that they wanted to live. The nobles of the Qin State clearly realized that if they did not reform, the country would really be destroyed. Otherwise, Shang Yang's subsequent reforms would not be so smooth.
Shang Yang's reform was just to cut the meat, but if the meat is not cut, the barbarians from the Wei State next door will come, and everyone will have nothing.
Thinking of this possible future, Jiang Hua smiled. Now everything is different.
"This journey has high mountains and long waters, so I wish you a safe journey."
Young Master Si smiled slightly, picked up his tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. A safe journey is already the best blessing for this trip.
After confirming his intention, Gongzi Si left. There were still many tests waiting for him in the next migration.
