Wealth and glory seek stability

Huang Yuan only took a glance and knew that this thing was meaningful. All the policies in it had reasonable explanations. Although some parts were obscure and difficult to understand, overall it was the same method that Jian Xi had given him before, which was very concise and to the point.

"I wonder what Lord Jian wants me to do for you this time?" Huang Yuan is also a straightforward person. He gets straight to the point when he gets what he wants.

Jian Xi still looked calm and composed. "It's very simple. Saibei is located at the border between Xia Kingdom and White Tiger Dynasty. It is a military fortress. I am now the new lord of Saibei.

I hope Mr. Huang can help me open up the trade between Saibei and Xiaguo. In the long run, it can also ease the relationship between the two countries. In return, if the implementation of the new policy encounters any obstacles, I will immediately provide a corresponding solution. What do you think?"

Huang Yuan originally wanted to agree immediately. Opening up trade would be a hundred benefits for him with no harm. The Xuanyuan Dynasty south of the Xia Kingdom controlled the rice-producing area of ​​the south of the Yangtze River. If he could establish good relations with the Xuanwu Dynasty, he would not be attacked from all sides when fighting with the Xuanyuan Dynasty in the future.

But he didn't want to reveal his cards too early.

Huang Yuan changed the subject and looked at Jian Xi with a smile, "Your Excellency, you have come all the way here, you must have worked hard. How about staying in the capital and experiencing the customs and practices of our Xia country?"

Jian Xi stroked her belly and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "I am originally from Xia Country, but later I followed the Sixth Princess back to the Xuanwu Royal Court. Sorry for the trouble, sir. I also want to deal with some personal matters when I come to Xia Country this time. During this period, you can take a good look at the booklet I gave you. If you have any questions, you can summon me at any time."

Huang Yuan seemed surprised, "This is really fate. If that's the case, I won't be polite. We are all family."

Jian Xi noticed that Huang Yuan's eyes would always glance at the books in the box from time to time. He must want to take a closer look, but he had to hold it in place because she was present.

Then he stood up and said, "I'll take my leave now."

Huang Yuan immediately waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay." But he felt that his purpose was a little too obvious, so he added, "If you have any questions, I hope you can give me some advice."

Jian Xi smiled softly, "It's natural."

Jian Xi left with the two people behind her.

Huang Yuan originally wanted Gao Yunhuai and Shen Nanxing to come over and help him, but when he saw that their eyes were following Jian Xi, he couldn't help but complain: Although this woman is beautiful, she shouldn't be so obsessed with her, right? Besides, she's already pregnant, and she has someone else.

Thinking of this, Huang Yuan coughed lightly, bringing the two people's thoughts back to reality.

"My Lords, shall we study this book together?"

Unexpectedly, Shen Nanxing stood up and declined politely, "Sir, I am a military commander and I know nothing about these statecraft strategies. Lord Gao is well-read and I would be better off discussing with him. I will take my leave now!"

Huang Yuan did not try to persuade him to stay when he saw this. He knew that what Shen Nanxing said was true, so he did not try to persuade him to stay.

Before leaving, Shen Nanxing looked at Gao Yunhuai expressionlessly. Only the two men could understand the meaning of the eye contact.

Gao Yunhuai clenched and unclenched the fists hidden under his sleeves, but still did not follow him out.

Huang Yuanxing rushed to Gao Yunhuai with the booklet, pointed out the parts he didn't understand and asked Gao Yunhuai to analyze them carefully.

Gao Yunhuai was a little dazed as he looked at the beautiful handwriting inside, and then he was deeply attracted by the content. Without Huang Yuan's instruction, he finished reading the entire outline at a glance.

After reading it, Gao Yunhuai's face was solemn. "Sir, every word and sentence in this booklet is the essence. If we can follow the overall layout written here, within half a year, the entire Xia Kingdom will be completely renewed, and even far surpass the other five dynasties."

Huang Yuan couldn't believe that just a simple booklet would elicit such high praise from Gao Yunhua. He was puzzled, "If that's the case, why didn't the Xuanwu Dynasty use it themselves, but gave such a rare book to me?"

If there really is a way to surpass the other dynasties, I'm afraid other dynasties will be scrambling to get it.

Gao Yunhuai turned to the first page, pointed to a sentence and said, "This is the reason. The other major dynasties were all clans, and the operation of the dynasty was inseparable from the support of these nobles. The longer the dynasty existed, the stronger the clan power would be. If the clan was eliminated, I am afraid that no monarch with a normal mind would do such a thing, but the situation is different for the emperor.

Xia's situation is special. I guess Xuanyuan Zhan also wanted to use the help of the higher-ups to eliminate the clan's power, but he was too smart for his own good. The powerful families heard the news and moved away. Now most of the people in Xia are civilians. As long as the higher-ups separate politics, economy and military according to this and establish a new system, this will be a real achievement for the ages!"

Huang Yuan was confused by what he heard. Looking at Gao Yunhuai's passionate expression, he asked, "Is it really that good?"

Gao Yunhuai handed the book back to Huang Yuan and gave an analogy, "It's like practicing martial arts. Now there is a secret book of peerless martial arts in front of five people. Four of them have their own practice methods and have already achieved success and have a place in the martial arts world.

The other person has no martial arts foundation and is completely broke. The first step to practicing this peerless martial arts is to destroy his own martial arts. What do you think these five people will choose?"

Huang Yuan understood instantly, "You mean, Xia is now the country without any martial arts foundation, while the other dynasties have their own cultivation methods. It is not worth it for them to risk destroying their own martial arts. Only we barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes? If we succeed in cultivation, we will be famous in the world, and if we fail, we will just be the same as before."

Gao Yunhuai praised: "The superior is indeed smart. This example is on the fifth page of the booklet."

Huang Yuan turned to the fifth page of the booklet and saw the simple story told by Gao Yunhuai.

"Shu Ping, are you saying that you can memorize it after just one look?" Huang Yuan was shocked.

Gao Yunhuai nodded, as if it was a normal thing, "Not bad."

Huang Yuan was amazed and said, "No wonder he was the top scorer in the imperial examination at the age of 16. I thought I was just a talent that was not accepted by the gods, but I didn't expect that there are always better places."

"Supreme position, this matter is of great importance, and we need to summon all the ministers for discussion. We also need to carefully consider the appointment of meritorious ministers and the division of power. I want to go back and draft a charter as soon as possible."

"Then Shu Ping, go and write quickly. I'll take a closer look at the book."

"Yes." Gao Yunhuai lowered his eyes, took three steps back, turned around and left in a hurry.

What he wanted to do most now was to see the person he had been thinking about as soon as possible, and he couldn't wait even a moment longer.
