Zuo Ci nodded: "My master became an immortal in the Zhou Dynasty, and then showed up from time to time, recruiting apprentices and teaching, and guarding the nine provinces. Now that the national destiny of our Wei Empire is showing signs, my master may come to Xudu to visit your majesty in the future.
"
Zhao Feng nodded and didn't say much. Knowing that there were gods, he didn't have so many doubts in his heart. Otherwise, all kinds of miraculous things would really make him feel unbelievable.
"Everyone, now that the Japanese country has been destroyed, what should you do next?" Zhao Feng stopped the longing talk of gods among the ministers below and asked in a very pragmatic manner.
Zhao Yun immediately said: "Your Majesty, didn't you reopen the Western Region before? I heard that a new empire called Shuanggui Empire has emerged over there. Why don't we go there and see how much they have.
"
Guan Yu immediately said: "Zilong, it's a long way to go, let me go. I haven't been out for a long time, and the soles of my feet have grown hairy."
Zhang Fei quickly said: "There is still me!"
Not only them, Sun Ce, Xia Houyuan and others were all excited, and they all wanted to go out and have fun...
In this regard, Zhao Feng could only say helplessly: "In that case, let's all take action!"
"Sun Ce, Gan Ning, and Zhou Yu, you three, have led an army of 100,000, and are preparing to attack the Kushan Empire!"
"Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, and Zhuge Liang, you lead an army of 150,000 and prepare to attack the Kushan Empire!"
"Zhang Liao, Xia Houyuan, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, you lead an army of 200,000 and go attack the Kushan Empire!"
"If the remaining people want to go, they can only escort the food and grass. Once they are ready, they will set off immediately!"
Everyone immediately became overjoyed and went down one after another to prepare separately.
After everyone left, Zhao Feng fell into deep thought. What is the national destiny? Is it territory?
Territory is definitely there, but the national destiny is probably more than that. The people's prosperity, physical strength, mental outlook, and all positive things are probably related to the national destiny.
Therefore, to strengthen the national destiny, we cannot rely solely on strong generals to expand territory.
The territory is skin and the people are flesh and blood. If the people are not strong, no matter how many territories are conquered, it will be of no use.
"Economy, culture, military! It should be these three." Zhao Feng gradually came up with an idea. Culture is a slow thing, military is already in progress, and economy is the key.
Developing the economy, to put it bluntly, means making money. It is not a one-time deal, but a sustainable way to make money.
Selling equipment? This seems to be possible.
Among the grassland people, there are also some forces living in cold areas. After these forces knew that the grassland was empty, they planned to come here sooner or later. They did not dare to offend the Wei Dynasty, but they dared to fight the Huns and Xianbei people.
In order to resist foreign enemies, the Huns and Xianbei people could use equipment.
In the past, the Wei Empire would not sell these things in order to protect itself, but now, the Wei Empire is at its peak, and even the old immortals who have not come out of the world have come to join the imperial court. The mere Huns and Xianbei people now have a declining population and insufficient
For concern.
They even had to feed and protect them, let them build a defense line in the north to defend the Wei Dynasty, and graze cattle and horses for the Wei Dynasty's use.
If the Huns and Xianbei people were simply forced to sacrifice their cattle and horses, it would affect their enthusiasm for raising cattle, horses and sheep.
But if they were given weapons and armor to defend their homeland, they would probably do their best to raise cattle and horses in order to quickly increase their numbers.
"Human nature is still worth pondering. It is easy to conquer the world, but how to rule the world requires brains. Brutal force cannot improve the national power of the Wei Dynasty."
Zhao Feng thought of this and called the guards in: "Go to the Huns and Xianbei people immediately to check if there are any signs of foreign invasion. If there are any, report back as soon as possible!"
"promise!"
Soon, several guards rushed out of the city and headed north to investigate the grassland.
As soon as these guards arrived on the grassland, they heard the legend and saw the rumored Slavs.
These people are called the "blood that is good at flowing" in the further north. They have no fixed residence. They come here to graze here every summer and then move away when the weather gets cold.
In the past, the Huns or Xianbei were here, and the Slavs could not covet the treasure here.
But things are different now. There are no strong tribes left on the prairie, and the nomadic tribes with a declining population are now unable to resist the Slavic invasion.
Although it is only the Slavic scouts who are testing the area now, it can be foreseen that the Slavic army will definitely enter the grassland soon, and then they will settle here and never leave again.
After sending the news back, Zhao Feng secretly rejoiced: "With the stimulation of the Slavs, the Xianbei and Huns will definitely come to buy weapons."
Immediately, Zhao Feng asked someone to say something: There are a lot of weapons and armors, as long as the starting price is paid, we will give you as much as you want!
As soon as this news came out, many tribes on the grassland became excited and took action. Envoys entered Xuchang in batches, requesting to see the emperor, and all requested the Wei Empire to sell them a large number of weapons and armor.
However, the people responsible for receiving these people are the children of the Mi family who were newly appointed by Zhao Feng. The Mi family is the most profitable person in Xuzhou. Under Zhao Feng's guidance, it has become even more thieves. These aliens are destined to pay again.
Big!
When the Xianbei people came to Mi's house, they were shocked when they asked the price!
Ten sets of arrows, a hundred iron arrows, a sheep, a good knife, a sheep, a spear, a sheep and a suit of armor, twenty sheep, or a good horse, or a big ox.
Other items will be calculated separately.
All weapons are what the opponent wants but is reluctant to part with, but must get the price.
The Xianbei people almost drooled when they looked at these sophisticated equipment. The only problem was that it was too expensive!
It’s so expensive that you’d shiver just to buy an arrow!
A sheep can feed a family for several days, but it can also buy an arrow!
Whoosh, I don’t know if I can hit the enemy, but one sheep is gone!
A knife, but also a sheep!
In comparison, buying a knife seems to be more reliable. You can kill the enemy when the enemy comes, and you can kill the sheep when the enemy leaves.
However, without arrows, when the two armies rush back and forth, they can only be shot by others, but they can only be beaten!
Therefore, this thing must be bought!
Armor is also a must-buy. Without armor, you are just carrying arrows. Even if you die, the game is over!
This armor is obviously more important. It can not only defend, but also be frontal. If you don’t buy it, it would be a big loss!
"Oh, I bought it!"
Soon, the Xianbei people bought hundreds of sets one after another and went back to show them to the people in the tribe.
The weapons those grassland people bought in the past were all high-priced high-quality products, or half-rusty scraps bought at low prices. As for the armor, they only wore sheepskin or cowhide.
But after these Wei Empire equipment came to various grassland tribes, everyone went crazy!
The arrow can penetrate the big tree with one strike, and the sword will almost be chopped in half with one strike!
That armor, after slashing it with a knife, turned out to be multiple white marks!
"These are all good things! Just bought so much? How much do you need? The development of the tribe depends on people and weapons, which will kill people. If all the people are eliminated, what development will there be? Buy, buy, buy!"
