Chapter 228 Taishang Daoyuan
"If you really can't go back, then the status of your Yue Kingdom will become even more important." Zhou Shihong said.
With the advent of the city-state era, the prehistoric continent has also become a large gathering place for players, especially those in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages, most of whom live in the prehistoric continent.
The ancient world was destroyed and many people were left homeless.
There is no way back to the Three Kingdoms subcontinent, and the Zhu Xian subcontinent has already been saturated. Now only the Warring States subcontinent has no restrictions.
As the largest gathering place for players, Yue State naturally has a very important status.
Before the changes occurred in the prehistoric continent, the Kingdom of Yue was just a test subject in Tianshu's eyes. Whether it succeeded or not, it had a way out, so it was not irreplaceable.
But now, the hegemony of Yue State has been closely tied to the future and destiny of Chinese players.
Players are in urgent need of the Yueguo platform.
Before Zhou Shihong arrived in Longchuan City, Tianshu was already considering increasing support for the State of Yue to help it dominate.
If the Kingdom of Yue can unify the Warring States, then Chinese players will gain a stable and long-term growth platform with immeasurable strategic value.
That will be a second world truly controlled by the players.
"Let's talk about it later."
Qin Mo doesn't have the mood to worry about the players now.
Zhou Shihong was such a capable person that he immediately noticed the abnormality in Qin Mo's attitude. Thinking of the Blackwater City players' retreat without fighting, his eyes were filled with thoughtfulness.
In general,
Current players still lack a bit of bloodiness and have no sense of mission.
They are indeed a group that is difficult to control.
But some things still have to be said, "During your seclusion, the Qin State has already conquered the Zhao State."
"Yeah?"
Qin Mo was neither surprised nor not surprised.
Since King Zheng of Qin was determined to destroy Zhao, given the comparison of strength between the two countries, the destruction of Zhao was a matter of time, and in the end he was unable to change anything.
"It is estimated that Qin will launch an attack on Wei this year, and there is not much time left for Yue." Zhou Shihong continued the topic.
According to the course of history, in 225 BC, that is, the year after tomorrow, the Qin State will destroy Wei.
"What do you want to say?"
Qin Mo finally noticed that something was wrong with Zhou Shihong.
"Then I won't hide it," Zhou Shihong is also a very straightforward person who doesn't like to beat around the bush, "In order to accelerate Yue's hegemony, Tianshu can provide some assistance."
"For example?" Qin Mo raised his eyebrows.
Zhou Shihong: "For example, we can build more military workshops, purchase various materials on your behalf, and you don't have to worry about funding at all."
This is to turn Qin Mo's one-on-one fight into Tianshu's collective action.
Efficiency will naturally double.
"Thank you very much. I won't take it for nothing. I'll exchange it with Mo Hua's shares." Qin Mo is a smart man. He knows what to take and what to give up.
To him, money is just something outside of his body.
"That's all settled then." Zhou Shihong nodded with a smile, "By the way, there is one more thing. Your previous proposal to set up a Taoist temple has been approved. We plan to build a Taoist temple of the highest level first - the Supreme Taoist Temple."
"Where are you going to build it?" Qin Mo asked curiously.
A place like a Taoist temple certainly cannot be built in the city.
At the very least, it should be on a mountain in the suburbs, and preferably it should be a blessed place with rich spiritual energy.
Zhou Shihong: "It's not decided yet, do you have any suggestions?"
"Or, let's build it in Wuyi Mountain." Qin Mo said.
"Wuyi Mountain?"
"Yes, Wuyi Mountain." Qin Mo nodded. "Wuyi Mountain is a first-class blessed land. Area A is where the space crack with the greatest hidden dangers is located. It just serves as a protective shield."
Although the Taoist temple is modeled after a school, it is not an ordinary school after all.
It is not for studying.
The Taoist temple should be a powerful organization that needs to take on the responsibility of slaying demons and eliminating evil that was originally undertaken by the sect.
"Your suggestion is good." Zhou Shihong's eyes lit up. "In my opinion, not only the Supreme Taoist Academy, but also other high-level Taoist academies that are planned to be built should be built near the space crack."
"That's right."
Qin Mo nodded. "To be honest, the players have lived too comfortably and have never experienced any serious life and death tests. If they continue like this, they are doomed to not go far on the road of cultivation."
Monks go against the will of heaven.
It is not said that you can safely pass the tribulation and become an immortal by staying at home or staying in a sect.
"Take your time." Zhou Shihong also had a deep understanding of this, and said casually: "The Taoists seem to What do you think?"
"I don't look at anything." Qin Mo smiled.
Taoism has its own heritage, and generally speaking, it still has some sectarian concepts.
The existence of the Taoist Academy is basically stealing the sect's job, so how can the people in the Taoist sect be enthusiastic? If they are not weak, they will probably come out to stop it.
"You, you."
Zhou Shihong nodded his finger and did not force Qin Mo to express his opinion.
…
After seeing Zhou Shihong off, Qin Mo summoned Jia Xu, Xun Yu and Bai Hua to discuss the matter.
What we are discussing now is, of course, no longer the resettlement of refugees from Blackwater City. That matter has been temporarily put aside, and it is time to discuss the next strategic deployment of the State of Yue.
Especially after Qin destroyed Zhao.
As soon as he came up, Xun Yu raised a question: "My lord, before discussing the next conquest strategy, should we first discuss the founding ceremony?"
It's funny too.
More than half a year had passed since the unification of Baiyue. Qin Mo had already decided on the name of "Yue" for the country, but he still exercised the right of governance in the name of Baiyue Palace.
It has not been properly established as a country.
The main reason was that Qin Mo suddenly went into seclusion, which delayed things.
Fortunately, Xun Yu and others were determined. Over the past six months, while taking over the counties and building their structures , they also did not forget to prepare for the founding ceremony.
This cannot be taken lightly at all.
Putting aside other things, after the founding of the country, Qin Mo couldn't still live in the Baiyue Mansion, which was temporarily right?
What kind of words are those?
Then there is the layout of Longchuan City, which is very different from the Royal City.
The more detailed ones include the crown and carriage that Qin Mo wore when he ascended the throne, the training of the palace maids, the preparation of musical instruments and the band on the day of the ceremony, etc.
All kinds of affairs are extremely complicated.
"Let's discuss it then. How are the preparations for the ceremony going?" Qin Mo asked.
Xun Yu reported one by one.
Before the refugees from Blackwater City arrived, due to limited manpower and material resources, as well as skilled craftsmen, Xun Yu's plan to renovate the royal palace and the royal city was actually very shabby.
After all, the conditions are limited.
Now that he had more than 100,000 skilled craftsmen who were good at building palaces, and hundreds of thousands of laborers, Xun Yu's "ambition" began to surge.
We plan to transform Longchuan City based on the example of Blackwater City.
"How long will it take?" Qin Mo asked.
Xun Yu: "At the earliest, it will take half a year."
"That's settled then. Are there any other difficulties?" Qin Mo knew that it was best not to compromise when it came to the palace and the royal city.
This is not the primitive continent.
The royal palace not only represents the face of the Kingdom of Yue, but also concerns the destiny of the country.
There is no need to rush.
"Yes." Xun Yu was not polite. "Everything else is easy to deal with, except for the etiquette of the founding ceremony. To be honest with you, my lord, none of us have ever experienced this. We are all laymen, so we are afraid that we will not do it well."
present,
In China, this is an extremely particular matter.
Especially for a grand ceremony like the founding ceremony, there should be neither any usurpation of power nor any omissions, so as not to make other vassal states laugh at them.
In the eyes of the Shandong states, the land of Baiyue was originally a land of barbarians.
With a biased eye.
The more this is the case, the more mistakes cannot be made in the founding ceremony.
You know, on the day of the ceremony, the State of Yue invited all the vassal states to send envoys to watch the ceremony, which was also a formal recognition of the State of Yue's status as a vassal state.
To make it known to the world.
Qin Mo listened, thought for a moment, and said, "This is easy. I heard that among all the countries, the master of Lu is the most knowledgeable about etiquette. After I finish my work here, I will go to the academy in person and ask a disciple to be my etiquette consultant."
It's time to get in touch with the masters and other big guys.
Qin Mo is still confused. He doesn't know what Mahayana masters like Confucius, Laozi, Mozi and others think about Qin's intention to annex the six kingdoms.
Stay out of it, or what.
"That couldn't be better." Xun Yu heaved a sigh of relief.
After discussing the founding ceremony, today's meeting finally got down to business. Qin Mo looked at Jia Xu and said with a smile, "Wenhe, you talk first."
"promise!"
Jia Xu stood up and saluted, then sat down and said, "So far, all eight corps of the Nanyue Army have been reorganized. Together with the Black Water Army and the newly reorganized City Guards, the army has reached a million people.
"This army size would rank among the top three even among the countries in Shandong."
Everyone was shocked.
Although the soon-to-be-established State of Yue was still very poor and ignorant, it did have the capital to compete for the Central Plains in terms of its military.
The South Vietnamese army may not be as well trained as the Shandong countries, but in terms of the quality of its soldiers and weapons and equipment, it is definitely far ahead.
The overall strength is not bad.
Jia Xu continued, "There are two countries bordering Yue, one is Chu in the northeast, and the other is Yelang in the northwest. Both can be included in the next conquest target."
"Then, which country do you think we should attack first?" Qin Mo asked.
"Chu State!" Jia Xu's attitude was clear.
Qin Mo: "What's the reason?"
"There are three reasons. First, the southeastern region of Chu State was originally Wu Yue and Yang Yue. It was the territory occupied by the ancient Yue State and should be returned. Second, Chu State has the largest territory, but the royal family is in decline and each county is independent. We can adopt the strategy of nibbling away and occupy it bit by bit. Third, Chu State has fertile land and a large population, so its value after occupation will be the greatest." Jia Xu had already thought it over carefully.
"On the contrary, Yelang, like Baiyue, is still in the backward tribal era. Even if it is conquered, it will only be an additional burden for Yue State and will not make any substantial contribution to the growth of Yue State's strength.
"Since my lord wants to advance into the Central Plains as soon as possible, he should first conquer the State of Chu," said Jia Xu.
"Is that so?"
Qin Mo frowned, but he had a different opinion from Jia Xu.
