Yancheng, the headquarters of Hundred Schools of Thoughts, is where Jiang Hua met Wang Jujun again after many years.
The last time I met Wang Jujun in this place was in the first year of the Hundred Schools of Thoughts, when the journal Baijia contending was just released. Taiping Taoist was the first to come forward and take the initiative to share his ideas. Immediately afterwards, Wang Jujun was the second.
Later, Wang Jujun was beaten by the Han family and suffered repeated defeats.
Even when Li County was at its worst, not a single county seat was lost.
That's really miserable!
However, Wang Jujun is very resilient. Although he keeps losing, he never gives up.
Therefore, even if he lost all his territory, Wang Jujun waited until Xiang Ji had grabbed everything he could, then negotiated with Young Master Fei, and finally redeemed the original territory.
However, at that time, except for the earth veins, everything else that could be demolished was taken away by Xiang Ji.
Therefore, the fact that Chu State was robbed into a blank land was not just out of thin air, but that the land of twenty counties got off to a bad start. Then, other princes suddenly discovered that it could still be like this.
Places that cannot be completely occupied and can only be temporarily occupied are directly looted cleanly.
Anyway, Yancheng is here, so there is no need to worry about having no place to sell stolen goods.
Later, with the emergence of Qinglian Fantasy World, Wang Jujun also successfully became a real person, and not long after, the two junior brothers also became real people. The three real people worked together to earn money to pay off their debts, and with the support of kind-hearted people from Confucianism and the nobility, Lijun also opened up many Qinglian fantasy worlds, where they practiced various ideas and trained armies.
Nowadays, Wang Jujun's younger brother Zeng has mastered many Confucian-specific methods for refining Xuan-level Taoist weapons.
It is said that a large number of scholars are needed to train the scholars based on teachers, students and clans. This regiment trains from ordinary soldiers to Huang-level Taoist soldiers to Xuan-level Taoist soldiers, all using special methods for training.
Many key points require the use of Confucian methods of refining the mind, so it can also be called Confucian Taoist soldiers. From ordinary soldiers to Xuan-level Taoist soldiers, this is a complete system. As the founder of this system, Zeng also opened a path on his own early and became a real person.
Wang Jujun is in charge of the overall situation, his junior brother Zhu is in charge of ideological theory, and Zeng is in charge of the army. Together, the three junior brothers, plus the Confucian scholars trained by Li County over the years, really have the ability to reform the Chu State.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hua smiled and said: "Mr. Jujun, the last time I saw you here was fifty years ago."
"At that time, my husband was still a little green. But now, my husband has long been the master of the path. Even my two junior brothers are also the masters of the path. I admire you, I admire you."
"Fifty years have passed by in a hurry. When we first met, Yanjun was still a Taoist priest. Looking at it now, Yanjun understands nature, has profound Taoism, and is a world of his own. Even if he has not become a real person, he is almost there. Unlike I still have to go to Chu State to reform and practice my own way before I can hope for a breakthrough."
Regarding Wang Jujun's evaluation, Jiang Hua neither nodded nor shook his head, but in Wang Jujun's eyes, this was acquiescence.
At such a young age, he is already on the verge of becoming, or has already become, a great master.
But immediately, Wang Jujun felt that he was getting closer. After the reform of Chu State, it won't be long before he can become a real person. This is truly a change in the world that no one could predict.
An hour later, Wang Jujun and the other two people left.
"What do you think of this reform?" Jiang Hua asked directly with his eyes closed.
Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about the reform itself first, and then talk about the impact on the world."
"This reform is indeed necessary. Yingdu has been destroyed. This is the best opportunity."
"At this time, whoever blocks the Chu lord's reforms wants to destroy the Chu state, so on the surface, as long as the reform content is not too excessive, no one will object."
"Looking at the content of the reform, it is actually still the same as Zhou Li."
"In the past, there has always been a saying that the people of the country discuss politics. In fact, the people of the country are equivalent to having the right to vote."
"When King Zhou Li was expelled, the Chinese people rioted. No matter what the plot was behind this, at least on the surface it was a Chinese riot, and the Chinese people joined forces to expel him."
"Later, the Jin State said that the person who caused the culprit died, and the people from the Qing clan united together to kill the person who caused the rebellion in the first place."
"Chinese people always have an extremely important position in Zhou rites, and they actually have the right to vote."
"Today's Chu State has only confirmed this power in the form of laws. Moreover, it has changed the concept of people into aristocrats."
If the people of the country riot and expel the king, then the people of the country are righteous.
From the expulsion of King Zhou Li and the public views of the princes and nobles after the expulsion, we know that if the people of the country join forces to oppose the monarch, then the monarch will be expelled. The implicit meaning is that the people of the country who join forces have greater power, strength, righteousness, etc. than the king.
If a certain king feels good about himself and says that he is a wise king. But all the people in the country think that he is a fool, so there is a high probability that a third party will think that this country is a fool.
When this was brought to Chu State, the power of the so-called aristocratic assembly was superior to that of the Chu princes.
"It looks like a vigorous centralization of power, but in fact it means fixing the Zhou rites in the form of laws, and then replacing the Chinese people with nobles."
"Such a reform, if applied to the Central Plains countries, would undoubtedly be backward. However, if applied to the Chu State where feudal lords occupy most of the places, such reforms would be progressive."
"For the Chu State, directly reforming into the three clans of Han, Zhao and Wei would be two steps forward. Directly reforming into what Yancheng is now would be three steps forward."
"Therefore, what is most suitable for the Chu State is to take one step forward. From the feudal lord and the Chu lord to restrain each other, to the lord and the Chu lord co-ruling the world. This step is also suitable for the Chu Kingdom today, and there is a possibility of success."
"From the perspective of the world, if the Chu State succeeds in its reform, it will definitely defeat the Wu State smoothly."
"This will make all the princes in the world rush to reform. Whoever falls behind may lose his country."
"In the near future, the group of Qi practitioners will be completely accepted by the princes of the world and become the new nobility."
"At that time, the survival of Qi Practitioners will no longer be a problem. When the survival problem is solved, how long can the covenant of the Three Saints last? By then, the world may be the only one between Qi Practitioners and Qi Practitioners. There was a civil war between us.”
"Take the Chu State as an example. If the Chu State's reform is successful, then Mr. Jujun will most likely directly become the Great Immortal. When the Chu State's national strength is restored, the Marquis of Chu will definitely become the Great Immortal."
"At that time, Mr. Jujun's junior brother may also become a great master."
"At that time, the war between Chu and Wu will become a battle between Mr. Martingale of Qin and Mr. Jujun of Chu, fighting against Wu's grandson and Wu Zi's predecessors."
"Similarly, the Wei family's reforms are now the most thorough, and the strength of Mr. Li Kui, who presided over the reform, has been improving by leaps and bounds. He will definitely be the one to govern the Wei family in the future."
"The battle between the Han, Zhao, and Wei clans and the Zhi clan has become a battle between Qi practitioners and old nobles."
"The three clans of Han, Zhao and Wei are all actively reforming, cleaning up the nobility, and centralizing power. The Zhi clan is doing this while wooing other nobles and becoming the representative of the nobility. This battle is also very meaningful. From the perspective of a Qi practitioner, It’s best to win this battle.”
If they lose, the Zhi family will be able to integrate the entire Jin state.
"This is not just a reform of Chu State, the whole world will pay attention to it."
Jiang Hua hummed: "Work hard. The era of great masters has completely arrived. If you don't become a great master in the future, you won't dare to speak loudly."
After meeting Wang Jujun and the other three, Jiang Hua quickly returned to Jun's Mansion. There was also a guest here, he was Fu Chai.
Fu Chai has been traveling to Yancheng frequently in recent years, almost becoming Wu's envoy to Yancheng.
This time, Fu Chai did not cover up, but showed Jiang Hua in a big way. It was obvious that Wu State had received the news of Chu State's reform.
This is not surprising. Although the reform of the Noble Assembly is progressive and positive for Chu State, not all nobles want such reform. These nobles themselves objected, but did not want to stand up directly to oppose, so it was normal for them to take the opportunity to leak some secrets.
"Fu Chai has met Lord Yan."
"No need to be polite, we are old acquaintances. I wonder what the master's purpose is for coming here this time?"
Seeing Jiang Hua's business-like appearance, Fu Chai felt a little hurt. He originally wanted to give him a discount, but now it seems that there is no discount to offer, and he will most likely want to go business-like.
Looking at Zhuge Liang wearing a feather fan in white clothes, Fu Cha immediately felt that there were too many geniuses in this world.
This Zhuge Liang had dealt with him before, especially when discussing the price. Once when Fu Chai had a bad temper, he planned to beat Zhuge Liang to calm the anger, but who knew that Zhuge Liang easily defused it.
Thinking of these not so good memories, Fu Chai said: "I came here this time mainly to ask if there is any particularly powerful super weapon in Yancheng that can target real people or the first generation. How much are you willing to sell it for?"
By saying this, Yancheng seems to be like an arms dealer.
"The real person, the first generation, is the pillar of the country..."
"One trillion dollars, I want a formation or treasure that can kill the first generation."
"It's not about money!"
"Three trillion dollars, I only need a formation that can trap the first generation. Even if it is a one-time use, I accept it, but it must be able to trap the opponent."
Even if this kind of treasure exists, it is impossible to sell it to others.
What are you thinking about?
After thinking about it, Jiang Hua still shook his head: "Well, why don't Wu State pay for it, issue tasks in Yancheng Academy, and directly recruit the first generation, real people, or great real people to help Wu State fight against Chu State."
"Such a mission can be called a war mercenary mission."
"Wu Guo can set his own price and hire first-generation and real people who are willing to help."
"Is there anyone willing to help?" Fu Chai asked directly.
Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by the Chu State afterwards? Who among ordinary people would wade into troubled waters?
Jiang Hua thought for a while: "Yes."
Counting on their fingers, Zhou Lang and Sun Lang, the new generation, can't leave now and are busy fighting against the Tian family.
The new generation Zhuge Liang is now in charge of cabinet affairs and cannot leave.
Xiao He, the older generation, couldn't leave.
Wu Qi, the older generation, still can't leave after looking at Yancheng's military and political affairs.
However, there are many first-generation and real people who can leave Yancheng temporarily and help fight.
Changkong Taoist can temporarily leave and go out to fight. Lin Er is already a real person. Although he can go out and help fight, his strength is too strong. Once Lin Er takes action, he will be exposed.
However, Lin Er can be asked to send out three or five real-person level incarnations.
Peng Bing can also be sent out, and then let Peng Bing evolve into the true form of the demon god, saying that this is an unknown demon god who has been bribed by Wu State. Is there any problem?
Li Bing's son, Li Erlang, has also solved the bloodline problem a long time ago. Now he has become the first-generation plus real person. His strength is not inferior to that of the older generation. Once the eye of heaven is activated, his strength is unfathomable.
After a little calculation: "If Wu Guokai's price is high enough, he can hire at least seven or eight real people or first generation or demon gods."
"As far as I know, there are seven masters on Meishan Mountain, known as the Meishan Seven Monsters. These Meishan Seven Monsters are very powerful and they are all first generation and real people. If Wu Guo has enough sincerity to invite them down the mountain to temporarily help, it will not be a big problem. "
By the way, let them take a close look at the prefecture-level Taoist soldiers trained by Sun Tzu, and then observe the changes in Wu and Chu.
When Wu is at a disadvantage, let them use more force. When Wu Guo had the upper hand, he kept paddling.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hua had an idea. It was time for Donghuang Taiyi in Dongting Lake to be born with the Jiuge Gods.
Let’s spread some news first. If Chu State really can’t handle it, let the Nine Song Gods show up.
As for who Donghuang Taiyi was, after thinking about it, Jiang Hua lowered his head and looked at the Chaos Clock on his waist.
At this moment, Jiang Hua seemed to see a stick...
No, no, no, of course Yancheng is not a troublemaker. Yancheng just hopes that all countries in the world can maintain a dynamic balance of power.
Chu State and Wu State must maintain a dynamic balance of power. Wu State cannot be allowed to wipe out Chu State in one wave, nor can Chu State be allowed to bulldoze Wu State in one wave.
The three clans of Han, Zhao and Wei must also find ways to maintain the balance of power between the two sides and delay the decisive battle.
The same goes for Qi State, which wants to delay the development of the Tian family, support and strengthen Lu and Yan, form a coalition, and maintain a balance of power with Qi.
As for Qin, as long as the three clans of Han, Zhao and Wei did not have a decisive battle with the Zhi clan, Qin would not dare to attack Hangu Pass. Today's Hangu Pass is still in the hands of the Jin State.
Even for those small vassal states that try to quickly eliminate the feudal lord and strengthen their own, Yancheng must provide appropriate support to the feudal lord.
In a word, when the big vassal states want to eliminate the small vassal states, they should make arrangements in advance so that the small vassal states can unite as much as possible to maintain the balance of power.
In the two powder kegs of Jin and Chu, we should try to maintain a balance of power as much as possible.
Yancheng will develop fastest only when the world as a whole is in balance.
Thinking about it this way, isn't the role played by Yancheng just a troublemaker?
When the balance of power cannot be maintained, it is when Yancheng stops pretending to be a good person, and it is when Yancheng begins to destroy the country on a large scale.
If possible, I want to be a good person!
