Chapter 1097 – Good Relationship of Qin and Jin

Xia Palace, Imperial Reading Room.

Cabinet Grand Secretary Jiang Shang followed orders and arrived. He bowed, “Greetings my king!”

Ouyang Shuo smiled, “Elder, take a seat!” Maybe as a result of his cultivation, although Jiang Shang was over 80, his face was still red and nourished. He was filled with energy and was really healthy.

“I called you here this time because I have a matter for you.”

“Please instruct me king.” Jiang Shang appeared really confused. Logically speaking, when the king had a matter, he could have just written an imperial decree and did not need to personally meet up. Hence, it was foreseeable that this was not a simple matter.

Ouyang Shuo said, “A week later, I am preparing to meet the leaders of the various school of thoughts in the Xinan University Debate House to discuss an important matter. Elder, please arrange it for me and help invite grandmasters like Lao Zi over.”

It should be mentioned that till date, the Taoism school of thought had not moved into Great Xia.

When Jiang Shang heard that, his heart shook. The current king, apart from fighting wars outside, said fewer words when he was staying within the capital. He often stayed secluded in the palace, cultivating and silently observing things. He said little but contemplated a lot, planning for the future of the territory. He rarely made big moves.

This was the way to rule a country.

Now that he suggested to meet the philosophers, something was probably about to happen.

The representative figures of the various school of thoughts were the essence of Chinese civilization. Although they were away from the Imperial Court, they were affecting the running of the dynasty at every moment; it was a deep relationship.

As such, this resulted in a clash between the dynasty and the school of thoughts.

For example, the famous Qin Shihuang burning books to go against the Confucians, Hanwu Emperor choosing to follow only Confucianism, and the like.

The king meeting up with the various philosopher representatives, what kind of scene would that be?

Jiang Shang did not dare to think too deeply into it, and he just nodded and said, “Do not worry my king, I will arrange it well.” As the ancestor of the philosophers, Jiang Shang did have that confidence.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and ended the conversation.

…

Gaia 5th year, 9th month, 1st day, Fallen Phoenix City.

This was a very special day. Feng Qiuhuang was going to hold a grand ascension ceremony and be crowned as queen. Early in the morning, Ouyang Shuo led a majestic envoy to personally grace the ceremony.

Feng Qiuhuang chose the country title of Jin and not the only remaining one out of the three ancient titles – Shang.

First, Fallen Phoenix City was located in Hedong Province, which was a portion of Jin Country during the Spring and Autumn Period. Secondly, Fallen Phoenix City and Great Qin was connected. The two sides had signed an alliance agreement, which followed the good relationship between Qin and Jin in history.

The entire ascension ceremony, be it terms of rules or the atmosphere, was comparable to Great Xia’s.

During the army review segment, when the Great Xia Household Legion Corps 1st legion 1st division appeared as an ally army led by Zuo Zongtang on the drill field, it attracted a lot of exclamation.

Without a doubt, this was the 1st gunner division in the wilderness.

Great Xia chose to announce the presence of the Household Legion Corps at such a time to stun and astonish the various country representatives. Some of them looked really solemn such as Xiong Ba, who came on behalf of Great Zhou.

Ouyang Shuo was really calm and did not move a muscle. Feng Qiuhuang, on the other hand, sat beside him. She was dressed in a coronation uniform and smiled, “Being played by you like that, some people will not be able to sleep at night.”

“We need to let them wake up.” Ouyang Shuo smiled.

For Great Xia to show their strength at this moment was a hidden warning from Ouyang Shuo to Di Chen. Ouyang Shuo wanted to let him realize that he should not think that just because he established the Great Zhou Dynasty that he could go against Great Xia.

The difference between the two was not just land and population.

Even in terms of talents, something Di Chen was proud of, Great Xia had caught up and even showed signs of trumping him. Not to mention historical talents, which Great Zhou was totally defeated by Great Xia in.

To replenish the generals in the military, Di Chen even contacted and recruited the notorious Yuan Dynasty general Zhang Hongfan.

As for the talents in the real-life domain, Great Xia was on the same level as Great Zhou.

Along with Great Xia growing up step by step, using the scale of immigrants growing time after time, more and more people gathered toward Great Xia.

In the recent half a year, even top talents had started to make their way to Great Xia.

Moreover, this situation was becoming more and more obvious.

Anyone could see that not only in the China region, but even on the global scale, Great Xia’s position was unshakeable. Since that was the case, why would they grab onto Great Zhou’s leg? Although the four families under Di Chen had contacted a bunch of elite talents, they could not truly represent the entire Federation.

In the competition between aristocratic families, there were pros and cons.

In reality, Di Chen and the other Silver Hand members rise was related to their foundations and succession problems whilst also being easily neglected. Hence, for the aristocratic families to continue existing, they needed to rely on the Federation.

Without the Federation, the aristocratic families would become trees without roots.

Just like in history, where it was said that there were iron-like aristocratic families and stream-like dynasties. Although dynasties flowed and changed like water, they were necessary.

Without a dynasty, there would not be any aristocratic families.

As such, it was understandable that these families would experience all sorts of discomfort after they entered the game world. As a result, they were sieged by a commoner like Ouyang Shuo, and he climbed over their heads.

In the Federation, the aristocratic families could rely on the Federation and did not need to form a system within themselves.

However, in the game world, they were split by Gaia into independent game regions whilst also being separated by the wilderness. As such, they needed to, with their family as a unit, slowly gain a footing in the wilderness and start from scratch.

When the territory was small, the aristocratic family could run it on their own.

However, the moment it grew big, even exceeding the size in real life, it would exceed their control. As a result, in reality, aristocratic families only needed to focus on one domain to be able to live in prosperity.

As they focused on a domain, the talents they gathered were more skewed. To run a territory well, they needed all sorts of talents and could not have any shortfalls.

Just one family alone was unable to support a whole dynasty.

Hence, mid-way into the game, the four families would all willingly walk together. With Chun Shenjun’s family as an example, they were mainly businessman and could not support a dynasty.

On the contrary, the Great Xia Dynasty under Ouyang Shuo was a blank piece of paper at the side and did not have any restraints and did not have any rules beforehand. It needed all kinds of talents and was willing to accept anyone.

Such actions allowed them to jump out of the fences and build a new world. As a result, the current Great Xia could find any kinds of talents and did not show any biasness.

These thoughts were something that Ouyang Shuo had only realized recently.

As the game progressed further, Ouyang Shuo even saw how to get rid of Silver Hand. To take out the enemy, one needed to analyze the enemy and understand them.

Once one understood fully things, one would have no enemy.
