Liu State, imperial capital, Jingzhou. The name of Jingzhou comes from the abbreviation of "The road to thunder and open up new states in a thorny place". This is a testimony of the Legalists' thoughts when they were invented.

Nowadays, under the rule of Legalism, the huge Liu Kingdom is unprecedentedly powerful and seems to have an infinite future.

When Chang Lin and three ironclad ships arrived at the beach of Liu Guo, a discussion was being held in Liu Guo's court. The representative of Liu Guo's young man, who was recognized as a genius, was talking freely.

"Your Majesty, Liu State seems to be strong now, but in fact it has already hidden dangers."

Grand Tutor Liu Guo immediately opposed, "The current Liu Kingdom is very good and there is no problem. We have governed the country like this for more than 3,000 years. If there is any problem, can we wait until now?"

The Grand Master's words immediately received too much support. Yes, if there is any problem, how could Liu State develop safely for more than 3,000 years? Since there has been no problem for more than 3,000 years, it only means that there is no problem in one result at all!

What does it mean to stand the test of time? That’s it!

Gongsun Wushang's words were powerful, "Your Majesty, there may be no problems in the past, but there are problems now. That is, the idea of ​​industrial and commercial development from the north has brought us new changes. If we cannot absorb and use this new idea."

"Shut up!" Before Gongsun Wushang finished speaking, the Grand Marshal of Liu also spoke, "You are talking about the businessmen. Do you know the fundamental strategy of our Liu State?

If I don’t know, I will tell you: take the law as the main body, firmly unite the entire country, and concentrate the fortune of the entire country on His Majesty alone.

You said you wanted industry and commerce to develop the country, which was to let Liu Guo fall apart."

Gongsun Wushang turned his head angrily and looked at the Taiwei: "There is something wrong with what he said. Are there no merchants in our country now? Besides, although we used to rule the country with strict law, there were many complaints in the country. Now the turbulent waves are surging, and the people are complaining, and more and more people want to escape from labor.

After more than three thousand years of accumulation, the people”

"Are you talking to the people?" The prime minister also spoke. In this way, the three dukes in Liu State's court collectively opposed Gongsun Wushang's remarks, and the conclusion could almost be decided.

Gongsun Wushang looked around and suddenly looked up at the emperor, "Your Majesty, the Liu Kingdom has reached a time when it is necessary to change, otherwise the country will be in danger!"

"Speak alarmist!" The prime minister said in a stern tone. "How much can some people do? In terms of cultivation, they are not as good as soldiers. Even if a hundred thousand people rebel, one thousand masters of the foundation-building stage can slaughter them completely! These untouchables don't have to care at all. If you dare to move around, you will kill them all! If you kill too much, you will naturally not rebel."

The Grand Master also immediately agreed: "Yes! Those who dare to rebel must suppress them, and those who rebel seriously must punish the three clans, or even nine clans. There is no need to care about the lives of the people, and the masters of cultivation are the fundamentals. As long as all the masters of cultivation are won over and arrange official positions, we can firmly grasp the people of Liu State. There is no need to laugh at me!"

The Grand Marshal also sneered, "My State of Liu has a million troops and a hundred thousand experts in the foundation-building stage. Who dares to rebel?"

Gongsun Wushang was also angry, "Dare you ask the Grand Marshal, are you governing the army according to law?"

"Of course!" The Taiwei answered without hesitation, but there was actually no second way to answer.

Gongsun Wushang suddenly sneered, "I wonder how many people are there in the late stage of foundation building in the army? In the middle stage of foundation building, how many people are there in the early stage of foundation building? How many people are about to build foundation? How many disabled people are there? How many elderly and weak are there? What are the real numbers of individual troops? How many short places are there?"

The Taiwei's face changed, but the next moment he was furious, "Okay, Gongsun Wushang, you not only come forward for the lowly people and merchants, but even have to spy on state secrets. What's your intention? Say!"

Gongsun Wushang's eyes were staring straight, and he finally got angry: "Liu Yuntao, you are slandering people!"

However, at this moment, the prime minister and the Grand Tutor were also standing on the side of the Grand Marshal and wrote a letter together: "Your Majesty, Gongsun Wushang has a false reputation and is suspicious about his intentions. Please deprive Gongsun Wushang of all titles, demote them to a pariah, and expel them from the country."

The ministers around shouted in unison: "I'm going to discuss it."

The matter has reached this level, and His Majesty the Emperor can only sigh.

Gongsun Wushang was stunned and never dreamed that he would make suggestions to the country, but the result was so miserable. Soon a guard came over and pulled off Gongsun Wushang's waist card and other identity symbols, including the jade crown on his head. He even pulled out a lot of hair, and the blood immediately confused Gongsun Wushang's eyes.

At this moment, a master of the Jindan stage rushed from the east, "Your Majesty, there is a big ship coming by the sea. It is said that he came from the northern Daxia Kingdom, and he said that he wanted to trade with us."

"Bayside? Big ship? Big Xia Kingdom?" His Majesty the Emperor of Liu was puzzled, "Didn't it mean that the Great Xia Kingdom is going to be divided? Does the Great Xia Kingdom still have the ability to trade now?"

The prime minister is well-informed, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's Anyang from the Great Xia Kingdom. I heard that Anyang has built some iron-clad ships recently, and it's probably this big ship. Maybe we can really try to communicate with Anyang. I heard that there are many good things in Anyang."

The Emperor Liu nodded: "See you then."

It was more than 500 miles from the beach to the capital of Liuguo. In the evening, Chang Lin only brought a few people to Jingzhou and entered the palace.

After some etiquette, Prime Minister Liu received permission and stepped forward to ask, but the prime minister said that Chang Lin was a little dazed. "Are you a general? You are only in the early stage of the Jindan period. Has the Daxia Kingdom now declined to this level? Our generals all demanded that they be in the late stage of the Jindan period.

Are you really capable and qualified to trade with our Liu Kingdom? Are you going to surrender to us?”

General Chang Lin was stunned immediately, and after a long time, he finally sighed, "The Prime Minister is joking. I am just a young general, with only three boats under his command, less than five hundred people."

"Okay OK, then you come to trade, what do you want to sell? What do you want to get from us?"

This time Chang Lin is no longer stunned. "There are many items to sell, from general industrial products to arms. As long as we have ones, we are willing to sell them. What we want to get is also very simple, the market. To be precise, we make money."

The prime minister was aggressive: "You are here to make money, so why should we trade with you?"

"We have a lot of good things here. Weapons and armors that are much lower than the market price but better quality, stainless steel that will not rust, clocks that can be timed, crystal clear glass mirrors, dazzling colored lights, and even cannons that are comparable to the full-strength attack of the Golden Dan stage, a large number of sea soul silks, etc.

As long as you trade with us, you can increase the military power of Liu State a lot.

Since it is a business, of course it is necessary to win-win.

In addition, representatives of Liu Guo were invited to participate in the second Industrial Expo. "To be continued.
