"Your Highness, the movements of the five countries have temporarily calmed down, but their future is still uncertain.”
Zhan Peng bowed respectfully.
"Continue to pay attention. If there is any movement, report again.”
Li Qiu waved his hand, not too concerned.
He naturally paid attention to the movements of the five nations. The reason why Jia Xu and the others were so flustered earlier was also largely related to this.
After all, once the five countries launched an attack, Li Qiu's side would definitely suffer from internal and external problems. If they didn't quickly resolve the food problem, it would truly be difficult.
But now, the food problem had been solved, so there was naturally no need to worry.
"Now that the internal worries have been eliminated and spring has begun, the food supply will only continue to increase.”
Li Qiu stood up and looked to the east with a burning gaze.
"It's time for us to counterattack the Great Tang and reclaim our homeland.”
"Do you have any suggestions?"
"My lord, Jia Xu suggests that our main focus should be on internal affairs and strengthening the army.”
At the side, Jia Xu cupped his hands and said respectfully,""Now, our food supply is no longer a problem.”
"However, before the next season's crops are ripe, it will be difficult to launch a long-distance battle.”
"Therefore, the best choice now is to strengthen the internal affairs and strengthen the army!”
Hearing this, Li Qiu nodded slightly and smiled.""Then according to your opinion, how should we proceed with internal affairs and strengthening the army?”
" My lord, in my opinion, this internal affair…"
He looked around and hesitated.
Li Qiu saw this and instantly understood. He couldn't help but laugh."Don't worry, everyone here is trustworthy, no one will spread rumors.”
"Yes, my lord!"
Jia Xu no longer hesitated and spoke frankly.
"In terms of internal affairs, my lord's suggestion is excellent. In fact, according to my opinion, the changes are not big, but we can start from the aspect of thinking!”
"Thoughts?"
Everyone looked at him in confusion.
"That's right, it's thinking."
"The thoughts of the people are extremely important. To a ruler, thoughts are no less important than the swords in the hands of soldiers!”
"I don't quite agree with what you said.”
Zhan Peng was the first to retort,"No matter how the people change their minds, can it be better than the swords in the hands of our generals?"”
"With one slash, heads will roll, and there's no way to talk about any thoughts.”
"General Zhan, please calm down."
"What are the thoughts of these commoners? They naturally can't resist swords and swords, and it's impossible for them to have immortal bodies.”
"When two countries clash, with equal forces and a stalemate, who will win?”
"This…naturally, the side that lasts longer, has more reinforcements, and is faster wins!”
" If that's the case, then what if the people of these two countries have vastly different ideologies? If one of them thinks that the king is blessed by God and can lead them to glory, while the other side despises the king's rule and even hates it…"
"Who will be the winner?"
Zhanpeng's expression changed slightly.
He wasn't a fool. How could he not understand this?
Therefore, he immediately cupped his hands to Jia Xu and said,""I've learned my lesson!"
"There's no need for that."
Jia Xu smiled and said,"My lord, my opinion is to create a god!"”
"Creating a god?"
"Tell me in detail!"”
"The so-called creation of a god is to make the lord a god-like existence in the hearts of the people. He is the only hope that can lead them to light, peace, and a beautiful future!”
"And the fact that my lord could bring 'extraordinary food' like corn is proof. If we make good use of it, this matter will not be difficult to succeed.”
"Once we succeed, it will be much easier for my lord to conquer the four directions or to recruit troops in the future.”
"Moreover, the cohesion of the people will also increase unprecedentedly. In this way, there's no need to talk about the benefits!”
Li Qiu immediately understood.
In fact, this principle was not difficult to understand. Simply put, it was brainwashing.
Although Li Qiu had never come into contact with the word brainwashing, she knew that many evil sects used similar methods to control their followers.
As a result, it was as if these disciples were possessed. Even if they died, they were not afraid at all. They even laughed loudly and said that they were about to ascend to immortality...
At this moment, Li Qiu finally understood why Jia Xu wanted to say something but stopped.
Because, once this idea of controlling one's thoughts was spread out…Jia Xu's reputation would instantly become extremely bad!
Of course, Jia Xu had never thought of grooming the commoners like cultists. It was just that there were some similarities between the two.
"Then what about the Power Soldiers?"
Li Qiu temporarily declined to comment and turned to ask Jia Xu about his views on Power Soldiers.
"Conscription, training, even if we can't go to the battlefield in a short period of time, we can't have no new strength!”
"Other than that, we also need to develop some of the necessary weapons in the army.”
"Once the development is successful, the army under the lord will be like a god helping them, unstoppable!”
"Oh?"
Li Qiu narrowed his eyes.”
"My lord, have you heard of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow?”
Zhuge Repeating Crossbow?
Zhan Peng and the other trusted aides, as well as Ayena, instantly revealed shocked expressions, feeling incredulous.
" Sir, you actually know about this item?!"
They exclaimed.
Although Chen Qingzhi didn't know what the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow was, seeing everyone's expressions change, his dark expression couldn't help but become much more solemn.
Li Qiu's eyes also lit up, feeling delighted.
Zhuge Repeating Crossbow?
In the history of the Three Kingdoms, the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow was a legendary weapon!
Unfortunately, after Zhuge Kongming and a few other people who knew how to make the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow passed away, the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow gradually disappeared from the stage of history.
Until now, there was no news of him, but now Jia Xu was saying that he knew how to make the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow?!
Ding!
Just as Jia Xu finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Li Qiu's mind. A new choice had arrived.
"Because master is faced with a new choice, God has chosen to open it!”
" Option 1: strengthen internal affairs, unify thinking, and unite the people.”
"Reward: Special Attribute-The Will of the People!”
"Option 2: A strong army is the foundation of a great country.”
"Reward: Zhuge Repeating Crossbow improved blueprint, Wood Flow Cow and Horse Crafting Blueprint!”
"Option 3: Only children make choices.”
" Reward: Granted based on completion…"
The notification sound in his mind was clear. Before the last word could be heard, the corners of Li Qiu's mouth curled up as he made his decision.
"I…want all of them!"
After making his choice, Li Qiu looked at Jia Xu and nodded with a smile.""Wen He, this king agrees to your suggestion.”
Jia Xu was delighted.
"I wonder if my lord is preparing to strengthen the government or the army?”
"Of course…I want to do both!”
"It's useless to have thoughts without enough battle strength.”
" We have enough combat strength, but the people are like a plate of loose sand. It's not desirable either. The only way to succeed is to grasp both hands!”
