Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 241 Conditions that cannot be refused

On October [-]th, at Feishui Pass.

As one of the busiest border trade checkpoints in the empire, Feishui Pass connects the two ends of Dagan and Quicksand, with a daily cargo throughput of [-] tons.

Commodities such as grains from Dagan, various new commodities, industrial products, cheap talismans, local specialties, and franchised weapons and armors have continuously entered the Quicksand Kingdom through major chambers of commerce.

Qianyuan's fief is the largest export place.

It is reported that these commodities not only flowed into Kongsang County under the rule of Wanhuamen, but even the people of Liusha Kingdom could not resist the charm of new commodities, and border smuggling was very rampant.

It actually made Wanhua Sect earn a lot of extra money.

On the other side, the iron ore, wool, leather, spirit grass and other local specialties from the quicksand country flow back into Dagan territory.

The tax revenue alone accounts for [-]% of the fiscal revenue of Zhaoyao County.

Every day before dawn, there is a long queue of thousands of merchants with carts of goods waiting to pass the inspection on the expanded concrete road in front of the gate.

Quite spectacular.

Amid the hustle and bustle, no one knew that the two masterminds behind the border trade, Qian Yuan and Tan Taixiong, were meeting secretly in the reception room on the top floor of the Guan Pass Building.

Although Tantai Xiong is bold as a skilled artist, at this juncture, he would not be so reckless as to truly enter Qianyuan's sphere of influence.

If something goes wrong, Wanhua Sect cannot bear it.

Therefore, the choice of the Water Pass is a more acceptable location for both parties.

In order not to attract attention, Qianyuan did not seal the pass with great fanfare, but all the personal guards led by Xu Chu on the top floor were under martial law, and no one was allowed to approach.

"Sovereign, if I say that I hope that Kongsang County can be merged into the Qin Palace, will it seem too abrupt?" Facing a hero like Tan Taixiong, Qian Yuan did not beat around the bush at all.

That would only make Tan Taixiong look down on him.

Faced with Qianyuan's confession, Tan Taixiong was obviously startled, "Is King Qin kidding me? Why should I be so thankless when the Liusha Kingdom is here?"

But he did not deny that he was going to surrender to Wanhuamen.

Sure enough, the atmosphere.

"Of course I'm not joking. Merging Kongsang County into Prince Qin's Mansion will benefit the suzerain, Wanhuamen, and even the people of Kongsang County better than being included in the Liusha Kingdom." Qian Yuan said seriously.

After hearing this, Tantaixiong almost spit out the spiritual tea in his mouth. Qianyuan was too narcissistic. He endured the discomfort and said lightly: "I would like to hear the details."

"First of all, to the sect leader." Qianyuan was still slow and confident, "The entire Liusha Kingdom is only two counties. With King Liusha's trust in the sect leader, what conditions can he promise to the sect leader? But I can promise the sect leader one county. Keep your position.”

"Kongsang County?" Tan Taixiong asked intentionally.

"It's better than Kongsang County. If the suzerain is willing, he can take up the post of Nanyu County Governor." This is the first exchange condition proposed by Qianyuan, and it is indeed something that the Liusha Kingdom cannot give.

These words really stimulated Tan Taixiong.

He was worried that after surrendering to Liusha Kingdom, he would not have the opportunity to display his talents, so Qianyuan sent a county guard to him.

It's hard to say no.

Seeing Tan Taixiong's silence, Qian Yuan continued: "The next thing is Wanhuamen. The suzerain should know that there is no shortage of high-level monks in the royal family of Liusha Kingdom, and the pattern of interests has already solidified and is extremely xenophobic. The Quicksand Country doesn’t have much chance to display it, and being rejected is inevitable.”

An advantage is often a disadvantage.

Although the Quicksand Kingdom is an independent kingdom, it also has its own problems, that is, the solidification of interests.However, the Prince Qin's Mansion is different. As an emerging force, the pattern of interests is still in the initial stage of integration.

Not only is it not xenophobic, but it is also thirsty for talents.

"In the Prince of Qin's Mansion, talents are promoted regardless of their origins, only their talents. Those from the Wanhua Sect who want to be literary can enter yamen at all levels; those who want to join the army can join the army and serve as military mage." Qianyuan added .

"I'm afraid we can't accommodate so many disciples?" Tan Taixiong didn't believe it.

Qian Yuan smiled and said: "You might as well tell the suzerain that the Southwest Corps has started restructuring a few days ago. The first thing is to lower the army mages to the battalion level. Only one division will need 31 army mages. Don’t worry about not having enough positions, I’m just worried about not having enough talents.”

The sinking of the army mage was not to simply cater to the needs of Wanhuamen, but a strategic choice made by Qianyuan after predicting the general trend of the world.

With the revival of the aura, the number of monks continues to increase. Allowing monks to participate in the war more deeply is the most effective use of resources, and it will also be one of the normal conditions of future wars.

If there are too many monks, there will be a shortage of cultivation resources.

So for monks, in order to obtain cultivation resources, joining the army is a good choice, and they can no longer hold it like before and regard joining the army as an inferior thing.

You don't do it, some people do it.

The supply and demand relationship between the army and monks is bound to gradually reverse with the recovery of spiritual energy.

Tan Taixiong's eyes were fixed, he didn't think that Qianyuan would have such an ambition to solidify monks in the army on a large scale, and the Southwest Corps might be the first in the Eastern Continent.

Qianyuan continued: "Finally, for those who don't want to join literature or the army, but just want to find a place to cultivate quietly, the Prince of Qin's Mansion has an excellent place to go."

In order to persuade Tan Taixiong, Qian Yuan did not hesitate to reveal his truth again and again.

The perfect place that Qian Yuan mentioned was the Taoist Academy that was still under planning. According to his vision, the Taoist Academy would be the academy version of the Zongmen, but higher than the ideology of the Zongmen.

In the Taoist monastery, there is no distinction between teaching and learning, and there is no sectarianism.

The Taoist Academy recruits students based on aptitude and virtue, and there is no difference in origin or region. After the students graduate, they are not forced to work in the fiefdom.

It will be an open and inclusive "Super Sect".

Undoubtedly, the idea of ​​the Taoist Academy originated from the university mechanism of the earth. In the future, it will surely become the highest institution of higher learning for cultivating monk talents in the fiefdom.

As long as we weave a large network, we don't have to worry about not being able to cultivate top talents.

Tan Taixiong looked moved at this moment. If Qianyuan's vision was really to be implemented, then the sect would really have no place to survive, and it would only be a matter of time before it completely dies.

But from another perspective, the Taoist temple is a good inheritance of the sect spirit.

Thinking of this, Tan Taixiong's expression was complicated.Before he came here, he never thought that the person in power in the empire who was less than 30 years old in front of him would have such a broad vision and mind.

Compared with Qian Yuan, King Liusha's so-called great talent and general plan seem to have become much narrower all at once.

However, Tan Taixiong was arrogant after all, unwilling to admit it, he was persuaded by Qian Yuan in this way, and counterattacked: "The two points that King Qin said earlier are indeed interesting, but it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is also good for the people of Kongsang County Right? That’s forcing them to betray their motherland.”

Sharp words.

Qian Yuan was certain in his heart.

It's okay if Tantaixiong is excited.

The excitement proved that Tantai Xiong did have other ideas and was not determined to surrender to Liusha Kingdom.If Tantaixiong remains calm, then Qianyuan really has no way to start.

They don't fall for it at all.

Qian Yuan said: "The suzerain should know that the series of new policies that have been implemented under the Qin Palace have been insisting?! These new policies have brought real benefits to the people. Not to mention, only in Qingqiu Mansion, the average annual income of the people Compared with three years ago, it has more than doubled. This is not me talking nonsense.

"The situation in Kongsang County is similar to that of Zhaoyao County. It has been infested by Qingqiu Kingdom's monsters all year round, and the local people are miserable. If it can be brought under the rule of King Qin's Mansion, all the suffering will be a thing of the past.

"I think that compared with the conflict between countries, the most important thing is to let the people live a good life. In the context of the confrontation between the human and the demon tribes, the conflict between countries is just a small detail, isn't it?"

Tan Taixiong really has nothing to say.

Qian Yuan's words were sharp and well-founded, making it impossible to refute.

"Even so, all of this is a win-win matter, and it's not a special contribution from Prince Qin's mansion. King Qin wants to take Kongsang County into his pocket with this little thing, don't you think it's too easy?" Tantai Xiong said.

Qian Yuan had some headaches, this Tan Taixiong was really hard to convince.

No way, I can only use the last big move.
