You drive

Zhou Dynasty, Linxiantai.

At this time, the Milky Way in the sky is bright and the stars are dim, and you can clearly see the stars all over the sky.

The city below is also brightly lit, with lights and houses stretching like a long dragon to the sky.

Among the majestic palace buildings of the Zhou Kingdom, Linxiantai, a 100-meter-tall building, has always been a special place for receiving immortals and powerful people.

The same is true today. King Zhou is sitting on the golden dragon throne with an unobstructed view. Next to him are the Queen and Queen of Zhou, who are also the principal and deputy heads of the Yin Yang Sect.

The Yin-Yang Sect invested in the King of Zhou before the emergence of Guoding. The King of Zhou did not know what means he used to instigate the rebellion of his two wives. Later, the Zhou Dynasty purged the Yin-Yang Sect, got rid of the original sect leader, and completely controlled the Yin-Yang Sect.

"My dear friends." King Zhou's voice was majestic and complacent, looking at the ministers below and several powerful figures from well-known families.

Monks from Yin Yang Sect, Dang Mo Palace, Hermit Valley and other places also looked at King Zhou.

The king of Zhou was nearly sixty years old, but he looked only thirty or forty years old. He wore a golden sun crown and a pearl night suit that exuded white light.

"I heard that the king of Yue summoned a group of wise men at night to sit down with the heroes of the country of Yue to discuss matters and make clear decisions about state affairs."

"I have called you all here today because I want to hear what you all think about the general situation of the world. This is a private banquet, so you can say whatever you want."

The State of Yue has long been a beacon of light in Dongzhou. It not only has fancy clothes and convenient facilities that are more easily accepted by the upper class nobles, but also has many advanced concepts.

Starting from Guoding, the name Yue Guo has been taking root in the minds of generations after generations.

Although some people still use the term barbarian to insult the people of Yue and Jiangdong, the names of Yue and Jiangdong are no longer barbarians.

Especially recently, Chen Taiyi copied poems and sold them in books. He put his copied poems in major bookstores and gained a lot of fame among literati and ladies, with fans all over the world.

The most important thing is the imperial examination system. The imperial examination system combined with Chen Taiyi's literary talent made the literati all over the country feel good about him.

Even around the King of Zhou, there were many people who collected Chen Taiyi's poems and books.

The kings of Zhou already imitated Chen Taiyi and built the King of Zhou Cauldron, so there is no psychological burden if he continues to imitate.

The King of Zhou Tripod is really easy to use. Everyone in the Zhou Kingdom knows how powerful this tripod is, so everyone from top to bottom pays close attention to the trends and novel products of the Yue Kingdom.

Sikong, who was in charge of water conservancy, stood up and asked: "Your Majesty, there are so many things in the world, including water conservancy, money and food, military, population, and officials. I don't know where to start?"

King Zhou had already wanted to ask something, so he said directly: "Starting from the general trend of the world in the future, what do Aiqing think about the general trend of the world?"

Sikong said frankly: "I believe that the general trend of the world is to gather a small number to make a large number."

"Ai Qing, sit down and talk in detail and give me some wine." The king of Zhou waved his hand and ordered the etiquette officer below to serve the wine.

"I'm very grateful." Sikong bowed in salute, then sat down and waited for the palace maid to serve the wine, then sat upright and continued to express his views.

"I am in charge of water conservancy. I had nothing to do in the past, and I have always lived a peaceful and carefree life. However, since the emergence of the Guoding, the mountains and rivers have undergone changes, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has gathered here like a spiritual river."

"Where the Spiritual River gathers, vegetation is abundant and all things grow. People gather here to live and work in peace and contentment. There is a surplus every year from the taxes paid. The remaining money is used to build water conservancy and hire hunters to drive away the evil spirits who are also attracted by the spiritual energy."

"The more people there are, the stronger the spiritual energy will be, and more and more business travelers will be attracted to settle here."

"Good weather and good weather are the symbols of a strong country. The change of seasons, birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws that ordinary people and weak countries should have."

"I discovered that in the past two years, people from the Lu, Jiang, Jing, and Wei states have migrated to our Zhou state."

"The State of Lu has suffered repeated defeats. Its national power is weak and empty, and it is unable to protect the whole country. The wise men in the country have long known this and have made plans for it."

"Since the death of the great general Wei Zheng of the State of Wei, many literati and merchants have moved towards us, buying land and houses, and bringing gold, silver and jewelry with them."

"Many people came to us when Jiang Jing Kingdom was conquered, and many more came after it was occupied."

"In the last month, the Nayue Kingdom expelled monks and Buddhists, forcing a large number of monks and Buddhists to join the Lu Kingdom to defend the country. Now the Wei Kingdom has effortlessly surrendered to Wanfo Mountain, Leiyin Temple and other Buddhist sects."

"The monks in our country will be much more honest in the future. This is the fate of the Zhou Kingdom. When a small number is gathered together, a large number becomes indestructible!"

King Zhou smiled, he liked this kind of thing of winning by lying down very much.

Elder Wu Ming of the Yin Yang Sect suddenly said: "There is something wrong with what Sikong said."

King Zhou looked at Wu Ming, "What's wrong?"

Elder Wu Ming said: "Yesterday, the King of Yue dealt with the monk Fa Hai who had offended him. He named him Fa Hai and ordered him to build a pagoda for him in Donghai City. He also forgot about the previous things and allowed monks and Buddhas everywhere to continue their work.

Preaching and alms.”

Sikong looked at Elder Wuming calmly, "Elder Wuming has been in the Yin Yang Sect for a long time, and he does not know all about the things outside."

"What don't I know?" Elder Wu Ming looked at Sikong with a cold face, "Please enlighten me!"

Sikong was a civil servant and had no good impression of these immortal cultivators. He also knew that these immortal cultivators hated others smiling at them, so he acted righteously.

"The King of Yue controlled temples and Taoist temples in various places. He not only collected taxes, but also arranged for people to enter the temples to keep accounts. The most important thing is that the taxes he set were consistent with the taxes of brothels. This is obviously a shame!"

"From what I see, the King of Yue has humiliated Buddhists everywhere. Buddhist masters everywhere will definitely not be able to bear it. They will never let the Yue Kingdom become powerful!"

King Zhou thought it made sense, and he quickly came up with an idea because of his talent and strategy.

"Wu Ming, do you think what Sikong said makes sense?"

Wuming said frankly: "The old Taoist has lived in the valley for a long time and doesn't know much about things outside."

King Zhou didn’t want to hear this, “You previously concluded that the King of Yue was likely to die young, was it wrong?”

Wu Ming was already a little unsure at this time, so he said bravely: "After repeated calculations several times, the King of Yue is indeed likely to die young, and all signs indicate that he died young."

"Not only the King of Yue, but according to some heavenly news, the immortal behind the King of Yue will not be here for long. He will definitely rush into reincarnation and move to a place outside Dongzhou within three months at the latest."

King Zhou nodded with satisfaction.

The rest of the people already roughly understood what King Zhou wanted to hear.

"Your Majesty, the state of Lu is now weak, the state of Wei is empty, the country of Yue is about to die, and the other small countries are not of concern. The day when the state of Zhou will dominate the world is just around the corner!"

"The Holy One has great talents and great plans, and has strong luck. Since he ascended the throne, he has been worshiped by all parties. He has an iron-clad empire. Now that the world is in control, he should be the king of men!"

King Zhou smiled, knowing that these ministers were all flatterers, and said with a smile: "My dear friends, I have oversold you. Don't talk about these unnecessary things today. First, let's talk about how to use this opportunity to strengthen our country's prestige."

Neither the queen nor the queen of Zhou spoke, and they never expressed their opinions when the king of Zhou and his ministers were present.

Sikong said: "I think that since the King of Yue drove away the Buddhist monks, we should do the opposite!"

"There are many demons and monsters in the Yue Kingdom, and the elite among them are the demon-suppressing legion and the Mechanical Greymon. If we can form monks to fight those demons and monsters, when we meet on the battlefield, we will definitely attack the dragon!"

When Sikong said this, King Zhou felt that it was indeed necessary.

The King of Zhou, who had been imitating the Yue Kingdom, said solemnly at this time: "The barbarian land of the Yue Kingdom really needs to be enlightened!"
