After Wu Zhan decided to personally lead the army, the dragon boats moved, and thirty top-notch mechanical battleships eyed them covetously.
This time, because of the war, the Empire had mobilized 30,000 soldiers, 3,000 Imperial Guards, 2,000 elites, and the Shadow Secret Guards.
Other than the 30-foot-long winged bats on the mechanical battleships, there were also over a hundred mechanical beasts from the Mo family, with the White Tiger as the main one.
Bai Ze, Yi Xiao, Ge Nia, Dao Ge, Zhang Han, Xiong Wu, Xiong Ba, and many other experts were following along. There were also a hundred murlocs waiting for him underwater…Wu Zhan's life-saving measures were one after another.
This wasn't what Wu Zhan wanted, but wanting to go out was inevitable. Otherwise, those people wouldn't let Wu Zhan go out so casually.
If it wasn't for the strength that Wu Zhan had displayed, they wouldn't have easily let Wu Zhan out even with these guarantees.
However, for Wu Zhan, once he was in a real battle, he did not need these life-saving measures at all because he would not use them at all.
With his current strength, only the Four Sovereigns or Great Generals could completely suppress his combat strength. Moreover, if they wanted to kill him, the powerful defense of his Dragon Fruit would not be able to kill him with just one or two moves from the Four Sovereigns.
As Wu Zhan's dragon boat arrived at Jianghai city, the port of Jianghai city was filled with people.
They had started a new life in the Dragon Country.
Moreover, compared to the previous fear of survival, the strength of the Dragon Country gave them peace of mind. Moreover, after the Dragon Country opened up the sea, this place would definitely become a prosperous port, which would definitely be more prosperous than the island towns they used to live on.
As the Dragon Lord of the Dragon Country, Wu Zhan was like the world's aristocrats, the Heavenly Dragon people. He had absolute authority and status in the entire Dragon Country.
"Leave this place!"
The Imperial Guards opened the way, and a group of Shadow Secret Guards followed like shadows. Wu Zhan walked a bright path in the sea of people.
The destination of the martial battle this time was the Small Sage Manor. Similarly, those spies who were mixed in the crowd were also curious about the direction of the martial battle.
Soon, a group of people arrived in front of the small Holy Sage Manor. Even Bai Ze, Dao Ge, and the others looked curiously at the ancient and luxurious buildings in front of them, their eyes full of surprise.
Previously, when they were building the port city, they had no idea that such a group of buildings had appeared nearby.
It looked like it was newly built, but at the same time, it looked natural and not built in a hurry.
In front of the door, three young men dressed in ancient scholarly robes led a group of scholarly disciples and bowed to Wu Zhan."
"Little Sage Manor's Confucian Fu Nian (Yan Lu, Zhang Liang) greets Your Majesty!”
"The Three Talents of the Confucian Faction are my talents.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After the three of them stood up, the group of disciples behind them also hurriedly stood up.
"Your Majesty, please enter."
Wu Zhan was in the lead, and Bai Ze was at his side. Fu Nian and Ge Nie looked at each other, smiled, and walked side by side.
As soon as he stepped onto the steps, the scholarly disciples holding the tail feathers on both sides slowly danced.
This was the Eight Yi dance of the Confucians. The Son of Heaven used eight, the feudal lords used six, the Great Officers used four, and the scholars used two. Dance is used to regulate the eight tones and move the eight winds.
The dance of the eight Yi was just a form of etiquette. To put it bluntly, it was not worth mentioning.
However, the scholarly faction valued etiquette, so this dance was definitely not as simple as a type of etiquette. However, in Wu Zhan's eyes, it was merely the etiquette of the Son of Heaven.
The Scholarly Faction's Lesser Sage Manor was definitely a wondrous place. There were winding pavilions and pavilions, and below them, koi fish swam in a multicolored manner. It was a magnificent garden scene, and even the people who had followed Wu Zhan here felt amazed.
After passing through the garden was the main hall. Wu Zhan was at the head, while Bai Ze and Fu Nian were on both sides.
Facing the three heroes of the scholarly faction, Bai Ze and Dao Ge were both curious. Fu Nian and the others were definitely not ordinary people.
Moreover, the layout of the Small Sage Manor could be said to be a scenery with every step. It far surpassed the buildings in the Dragon Country. Only Wu Zhan's imperial garden could compare. This was not the beauty of the scenery, but the depth of the artistic conception.
How could they not be curious about the sudden appearance of these experts and buildings?
"We didn't know that Your Majesty was coming and hurriedly prepared. We hope that Your Majesty will forgive us!”
At this moment, a few female scholarly disciples were holding jade plates. The pastries placed on them were like the most exquisite works of art, exquisite beyond compare. Even Wu Zhan couldn't help but feel surprised. He immediately thought of something and couldn't help but say,"
"Pao Ding dissects an ox. It's amazing. Is the chef of the Little Saint Manor Pao Ding?”
"It's Paoding, Your Majesty!"
Hearing Wu Zhan's words, Fu Nian bowed respectfully.
Bai Ze looked at the pastries in front of him. Although he didn't know what Wu Zhan was talking about, he was obviously on the same page as Fu Nian. They were outsiders.
"Then try it. Baize, Doug, you don't have to doubt it.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ge Nia knew about Pao Ding's existence, so he looked at the food with a hint of anticipation.
Bai Ze also noticed this situation. In the entire scene, only he and Doug were outsiders. The others seemed to be familiar with each other.
The exquisite pastry was not only beautiful, but also delicious. It was sticky and sweet, and it was definitely the best pastry they had ever eaten.
"Delicious!"
Other than the Three Heroes of the scholarly faction, who were used to eating, the eyes of everyone else lit up.
"A gentleman stays far away from the kitchen, but the scholarly faction enjoys enjoyment. Commander Bai Ze, send a few talented chefs from the palace to the Little Sage Manor through the phone bug later. Let them learn from Master Chef Ding for a period of time.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
When Bai Ze heard Wu Zhan's words, although he didn't answer why he didn't let Pao Ding into the palace, he could only do as Wu Zhan said.
"Mr. Fu Nian, what do you think of the current Jianghai city?”
After a few mouthfuls of pastries, Wu Zhan told the three heroes of the scholarly faction about the problem in Jianghai city, which attracted Bai Ze and Dao Ge's attention.
The Small Saint Manor was close to Jianghai city. Wu Zhan's purpose for coming here might be for this.
Fu Nian's eyes lit up. He understood that Jianghai city was a test for him from Wu Zhan, so he could not help but speak with confidence,
" The Profound Calm is resourceful, smooth and knowledgeable, nurturing materials to serve the earth, carrying time to imitate the heavens, relying on ghosts and gods to formulate righteousness, governing qi to educate, and offering sacrifices with sincerity. "Now that the hearts of the people in Jianghai city are wavering, we need to use benevolence to influence them and use grace to win over their hearts..."
Fu Nian cultivated the way of the sage-king, advocating the kingly way to govern the country and the benevolent way to the world, so he advocated leniency and enlightenment.
However, this was only in theory. The difference between theory and reality was huge. This was One Piece's world, and there was no possibility in itself.
"Mr. Fu Nian is right. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. However, in the face of power, the hearts of the people are difficult to go against. In fact, I admire the idea of being king at home and dominating outside. He was domineering and domineering. "I will hand over the internal affairs of Jianghai city to the scholarly faction to manage. On the outside, there will be General Long Chi guarding it to resist the foreign enemies. The three heroes of the scholarly faction will also take action at the right time to resist the foreign enemies.”
"The scholarly faction will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty!”
After the meal, Fu Nian brought Wu Zhan and the others to tour the entire Small Sage Manor. Finally, they arrived in front of a tall pavilion.
The tower was a hundred feet tall, and there weren't many floors inside. After entering, there were bookshelves that were several feet tall. There were all kinds of books on them, and they were as vast as the ocean. Wu Zhan's gaze was instantly filled with curiosity.
Could these be the inherited culture of the ancient Central Plains? Or could these books be used here?
The history of the Dragon Country was rarely recorded in the palace. At most, there were only some major events recorded. At this moment, the sea of books in the Small Sage Manor was mainly bamboo slips. They were probably books from the Pre-Qin, Spring, Autumn, and Warring States Period.
"Your Majesty, this is our Martial Uncle, Qing Xun!”
"Master Xun?"
Wu Zhan was shocked when he heard this. He looked in disbelief at the old man who was taking care of the books like a deaf mute. His gaze was filled with shock.
Who was Xun Zi?
The three sages of the scholarly faction were Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi!
Although there were many disputes among the younger generation, Xunzi, the teacher of Han Fei and Li Si, was definitely not a simple person who could leave a mark in the era of Confucian talents.
Wu Zhan hadn't received any news about Xun Zi before, and he hadn't expected that there would be such an important figure in the scholarly faction's library.
This was the rhythm of the sweeping monk.
"So it's Master Xun. Greetings, Wu Zhan.”
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be so polite. Right now, Qing Yi is just an old man in the library and doesn't want to interfere in the affairs of the world.”
After saying that, he turned around and went to take care of the books. This made Bai Ze and Dao Ge furious.
After Wu Zhan respectfully bowed to Xun Qing, he turned around and looked at the books in the library.
Flipping through a few books in the library's collection, Wu Zhan discovered that there were many books here. They were all written in the small seal script unique to the Central Plains or the characters of the seven countries from before. There were even some hieroglyphic characters. These were characters that were even more ancient than the ancient characters of this world.
There was also a translated book beside it. It was not about the Central Plains, but about the records of this world from a thousand years ago.
There were records of the beginning of civilization thousands of years ago, and even the first year of the Haiyuan calendar 1,500 years ago. Moreover, it was only a part of history.
As for the blank 100 years, there were no records in the 1,000 years.
"Interesting? Mr. Fu Nian, I wonder if I can choose a few books to take away and have someone send them over after I finish reading them.”
"Of course. May I know what books Your Majesty would like to read?”
"There are records of domineering cultivation and some strange things in the world. Right, make a copy of some history books and send them to the palace.”
"Your Majesty, please wait!"
Soon, Fu Nian brought a few books over. There were originals and translated versions, and there was a box full of them.
Looking at these books, it was just as Wu Zhan had expected. They were all cultivation methods from ancient times.
Especially in terms of domineering aura, it was more complete and powerful than the domineering techniques that the Dragon Country had collected.
"Your Majesty, these are all books on cultivation. They were all collected by the sages of the past when they traveled through the various countries. After sorting them out, I wonder if Your Majesty needs them.”
Wu Zhan couldn't help but nod his head. Looking at these books, he couldn't help but say solemnly,
"Thank you, Mr. Fu Nian. These are all precious materials. Although the knowledge in the book is open to everyone, the power in the book is like a sharp blade. " Good people use it to benefit the world, while evil people use it to harm the common people. Therefore, it's best to classify them. For example, these domineering cultivation methods can be hidden in the dark and can only be viewed with authorization. Those related to human history can be completely opened up to enrich the history and culture of our Dragon Country!”
"Fu Nian will remember, remember Your Majesty's words!”
Fu Nian naturally knew the gains and losses. He took out these because of Wu Zhan's identity. Moreover, the library was not something that ordinary people could enter.
Moreover, there were many books in the library. It was not easy to find these cultivation methods among the vast number of books.
As Wu Zhan left, the Little Saint Manor appeared before the eyes of everyone in the world.
Although the Three Talents of the Scholarly Faction in the Small Sage Manor were only at the Sword Hero Realm, their strength was not inferior to the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters. Thus, those who harbored ill intentions did not have the slightest advantage in escaping.
On the contrary, the appearance of the Little Saint Manor was an additional advanced college for Jianghai city.
The Confucian school taught everyone regardless of their background. As long as there was a tuition fee, anyone who had reached the age of six could enter the Confucian school. For a time, the reputation of the Little Sage Manor was not small.
The Six Arts of the Confucian school, cultivating one's moral character, governing the country, and pacifying the world. The more they understood, the more fearful those spies were of the Small Sage Manor.
Moreover, the library was not a forbidden area. Those books were all treasures and were open to the world. As long as they did not take away the original books, Qing Xun would not stop those who came to spy on them.
If someone wanted to take the book away, Qing Xun in the library would warn them to leave the book behind.
Gradually, Ohara's name also fell on the head of the small Saint Manor. Of course, that was a matter of a few years later.
