Hold together for warmth, unify the realm. Devour the weak, strengthen yourself, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, the strong prey on the weak, the strong survive. This is the unchanging truth between heaven and earth since ancient times. A hundred years have passed since the fusion of all realms. The original chaotic situation in the major realms has begun to end one after another. The pattern has begun to enter a new stage.
One by one, the realms were unified. The weak ones could only surrender or even flee to the wilderness, while the strong ones dominated everything. In some realms, several powerful forces formed an alliance to control the realms. They obtained various resources from them to strengthen themselves.
All forces are desperately trying to grow and develop.
Get stronger, keep getting stronger.
This is what every force wants to do most.
It can be said that now, each realm has almost formed an independent structure. Anyone who wants to intervene will be completely rejected and hostile. Invisibly, the difficulty of expansion is increasing.
It is obviously impossible to easily invade various realms as before.
It is said that many domains have opened domain gates. Through the domain gates, support can be quickly provided, and no longer isolated. The domain gates have been discovered and developed. It is no longer difficult to communicate between domains. However, the cost of opening the domain gates is not low. It is not something that ordinary people can expect.
But this already means that the realms are no longer relatively independent, but more complicated. If you move a certain force in this realm, perhaps a bunch of backers will appear in the next moment, rubbing you to the ground and beating you hard.
Between heaven and earth, all major forces and all races in the heavens are inextricably linked.
In the past, when the boundaries were not connected, they could still defeat each other one by one. Now that the boundaries are connected, they can support each other. If you fight against one force, you may face the huge force of an entire race. Many times, a small move can affect the whole body. The relationship is intricate and the situation is much more complicated than before.
As the Immortal Court, Dayi is now the focus of everyone's attention. When doing anything, all aspects must be taken into consideration.
Apart from anything else, foreign wars and expansion can no longer be done without a legitimate reason.
After all, the reputation of the Immortal Court must be taken into consideration.
No one would like a fairy court without bottom line.
A good reputation can bring endless benefits.
This is also the goal that Yi Tianxing has been deliberately working on. Now, when he is promoted to the Immortal Court, he needs to consider more carefully how to develop. A good reputation can last for a long time, but Dayi cannot help but expand. This is the problem that the ministers need to face and solve now.
"Yes, according to the intelligence transmitted by my Heavenly Disaster Palace, the realms in various places have become close to stability, and all major forces are developing with peace of mind. Chaos and wars are decreasing. If there is no unrest, it will be difficult for us in Dayi to take action. It is not appropriate to act without a legitimate reason."
The Child Emperor also nodded in affirmation.
The stimulation of Dayi's promotion to all major realms and dynasties is too strong, and the pressure it brings is too great. If they don't become stronger, they will die. Everyone is afraid of this.
"Your Majesty, I think there may be a way out of this situation."
Jia Xu smiled, took a step forward and spoke.
"Oh, Lord Jia, please speak."
Yi Tianxing nodded and asked.
Jia Xu had never let him down in all these years. He was just about to hear what Jia Xu had to say.
"Your Majesty, we have a list of nobility in Dayi. For the sake of reputation, we cannot attack without justice. However, other forces do not have such scruples. There are even a large number of Yunchao in the human race. We can completely divide and confer titles on the surrounding forces. If they can submit to Dayi and enter Dayi with a realm, they can be conferred the title of king. If they enter Dayi with half a realm, they can be conferred the title of marquis. We can even confer the realm as the fief of the nobility."
Jia Xu said after smiling indifferently.
He wants to implement the feudal system.
"This is inappropriate. Granting titles is fine, but granting fiefs is not. You have to know that in history, granting fiefs to princes often resulted in a situation where the princes were too powerful to be eliminated. For example, the Shang Dynasty claimed to have 800 princes, but how many of them were truly loyal? The Zhou Dynasty also had many princes, but they eventually evolved into a dynasty, each claiming to be a king and waging wars. This is a lesson from the past. Giving too much power will only breed ambitions that should not exist. Once this precedent is set, people's hearts will inevitably waver."
Su Shi's face changed and he quickly began to advise.
There shouldn't be too many examples of this kind of warning.
It is okay to release power, but giving too much power will be a curse rather than a blessing. Most importantly, it will cause great trouble to future rule.
"Well, that's right. There is no problem with conferring a title, or even a royal title. The principle is to confer a title without conferring land. If you confer a title and then a land, doesn't it mean that there is a possibility that it will become too big to be removed in the future? It will eventually be a major hidden danger."
Huang Chengyan also spoke.
"Your Majesty, I think it's not a bad idea to confer titles and fiefs. If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it. That idea is not realistic. After all, if the other party surrenders, they have to surrender with the entire realm. We don't need to spend manpower and material resources, and we don't need to send troops and horses to easily gain a realm. Granting titles is naturally not enough. I think we can turn the fief into a fiefdom. Give them a part of the tax revenue in a certain realm as food. This can prevent them from interfering in internal affairs, avoid too much power, and give rise to ambitions that they should not have. We can also give them corresponding benefits to show the sincerity of Dayi."
Liu Bowen smiled calmly.
If there is a force that really wants to give an entire realm to Dayi, it is still not enough to just confer a title. If it is a fiefdom, there will be hidden dangers in the future. It is better not to do it if you can. This door is not easy to open.
Changing it into a fiefdom may be an alternative solution.
They don't need to govern, just sit there and they can get a large amount of generous food and fiefdom as support. This approach is enough to show the sincerity of Dayi.
You have to know that the tax revenue generated by each realm of Dayi every year is enormous.
Naturally, it is impossible to give it entirely as a fiefdom; only a part of it will be given.
"Well, conferring a title and a fiefdom is feasible. As for the fiefdom, it will be given 10% of the total tax revenue of the area. Also, the term must be specified. The term of the fiefdom is limited to 100 years. Within 100 years, 10% can be obtained. After 100 years, the fiefdom will no longer exist and will be returned to the state."
Yi Tianxing hesitated for a moment before making a decision.
The title of Dayi is definitely tempting to the outside world. After all, the title of King of Dayi is more amazing and powerful than the blessing of the karma and luck obtained by the lords of the dynasties. Not all lords of the dynasties have the confidence to go further. Many times, the creation of the dynasties is just a momentary passion. After personal experience, they realize that their own talents cannot support them to continue.
In this situation, if Dayi extends an olive branch, there will definitely be many powerful forces that will be tempted by it.
No matter how many or how few, as long as one person does this, Dayi will gain something. Not only will its reputation not be damaged, but it will also gain a whole new realm. All it has to pay is some titles and fiefdoms. These are totally insignificant.
A little wealth in exchange for a foundation for eternity.
There is certainly no comparison between the two.
There is not much Dayi can do now, and this method has a very high chance of success.
"Your Majesty, I think that we can not only use the title to attract other like-minded people, but also open the door of convenience. The Immortal Academy can recruit students from the entire Eternal World and all major realms. Attract more talented geniuses to come to our Great Yi to study. Not only can it strengthen the power of our human race, but it can also spread the influence of our Great Yi more deeply. Let the geniuses from other realms be proud to be able to enter our Great Yi. Under subtle influence, there may be unexpected gains."
Jia Xu said again.
In the world, the problem is always the lack of people, not the equality. As long as the various disparities are exposed, the people will naturally be won over. With the general trend, everything will fall into place.
Many times, foreign policy will need to change and will focus on infiltration.
Everything should be based on justice.
"Then how should we deal with the territory occupied by alien races?"
Yi Tianxing nodded and asked again.
As for the human race's destiny, Dayi cannot take action personally. For the realm dominated by alien races, it also needs to come up with a set of rules. After all, it is impossible to let it go and ignore it.
"For the alien realms that dare to provoke our Great Yi Immortal Court, there is no need to be polite. We can directly send a large army to conquer them. As for those alien realms that have not provoked us, I think it is better to send some people with special talents to muddy the waters. At that time, our Great Yi will also have an excuse to start a war. For example, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Li Zicheng, Fang La and others are quite good. We can let them display their talents."
Jia Xu said with a smile.
There is a hint of strangeness in the eyes.
When the ministers in the hall heard this, they were all surprised.
In fact, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and others had long been within the sight of Dayi, and had even secretly reached some agreements and tacit understandings with Dayi.
At this moment, all the ministers knew exactly who they were.
To be honest, every time they saw these people, the officials in the hall wanted to kill them directly. These were the root causes of the unrest. Now, they just happened to be useful and could serve as a pioneer for the king.
Afterwards, heated discussions on these issues took place in the hall.
New national policies are constantly being formulated.
Various foreign policy strategies are also being rapidly improved.
Dayi will never stick to its current position and lose its enterprising spirit.
"Your Majesty, according to the information collected by the Six Gates in various places, special situations of demonic energy breeding have appeared in various realms in our Great Yi territory."
Zhuge Zhengwo stood up and spoke.
