The foundation of the Shang State lies precisely in the cities! And the most vulnerable part of the Shang State is precisely the cities!
A city must be open; not only is there a mix of good and bad people inside, but external defense is also a problem. All of this has long made Li Xian worry about it, but there has been no effective solution.
Blindly increasing the number of garrisoned experts is unrealistic, but it is the only way for Shangguo now. The army, experts, satellites, police, and finally the spontaneous organization of the people are the only way for Shangguo now. However, it is also a costly method.
The protection of the city and the consumption of related resources have seriously restricted the development of the Shang State.
Li Xian had been trying to find a new method, but he had no idea. He even thought about covering each city with a heaven-sealing and earth-locking formation, but he quickly abandoned the idea.
Not to mention the cost of the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Array, just the subsequent maintenance and so on is not a small task. Even a large number of resources were drawn to build the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Array, and it was a Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Locking Array covering the entire city. The resources consumed were probably beyond the capacity of the Shang State.
But today, Ling Zhifeng actually gave a feasible solution.
Ling Zhifeng is still saying:
"Each city will build a temple to receive luck, connect heaven and earth, and nurture fire. Once the fire is nurtured successfully, it will form an artificial godhead, and we can artificially confer gods. This god may have many problems, such as not being able to exceed the coverage of the city, and having to call on the power of the stars, which may be very powerful but will also consume a lot of luck. Of course, all of this is speculation, and the specifics will only be put into practice."
Li Xian slowly turned his gaze to the satellite map, and suddenly pointed to Beidou City: "Let's go with Beidou City. Beidou City is currently in a prosperous period, so it should be possible."
"Ah..." Ling Zhifeng was a little surprised for a moment, "Xian Wang, you have to think it over carefully. Beidou City is the most important city in Shang State now. Once there is a problem during the operation, the consequences... are unpredictable."
"Just go ahead and do it. If you make any mistakes, it's my fault! But tell Yan Ze'an and the others about this matter. We still need the help of Suirenshi to take care of the fire."
"I have the fire right here! The fire in my hand is enough to split into thousands of small fires." Ling Zhifeng laughed. Last time, when we restored consciousness to those dragons whose consciousness was obliterated, we didn't actually consume much fire. The statement to the outside world was just a bit exaggerated.
The Shang Dynasty was at its peak, and although the fire consumed a lot of energy, the Shang Dynasty could still afford it. However, these things could not be disclosed to the public.
If you just want to cultivate fire, you need the help of Suirenshi's chief priest. Suirenshi's flame cannot be grown simply by placing it in the Temple of Heaven. It requires some special means.
Of course, with the means of the Shang State, they had already figured out the way, and the High Priest of Suirenshi seemed to trust Li Xian so much that he did not hide anything. But up to now, the Shang State had not interfered in all the operations of Suirenshi's flame.
After Ling Zhifeng got the permission and the endorsement from the wise king, he jumped up excitedly, which could be said to be the kind of person who had no image at all. Ling Zhifeng ran out in a flash and disappeared in a short while; but an hour later, Ling Zhifeng sat in front of the high priest of Suirenshi to discuss.
