But after Fang Jingtang, Fang Shangjing and other representatives from various countries left the meeting, they immediately edited text messages and sent them back to their respective countries; then they sent capable confidants back to their countries to take away the information here. And the editing of text messages, all of them were passwords - now everyone knows how to use passwords.
The changes in Shang State, where a large number of countries suddenly began to actively merge with Shang State, really made the countries in Yingzhou start to panic. An invisible war was slowly unfolding in an intangible way, and it was more cruel than the visible war!
All countries have to take some necessary measures! At least the measures they think are right!
Let's not talk about the near ones, let's talk about the far ones. Ningguo is far enough, it's already at the west coast of Yingzhou. When Queen Ning Xiaolan received this information, she immediately summoned all the ministers to discuss it. As for Zhang Quan, of course he also sat in the position of prime minister.
Next to her, Ning Xiaolan's maid, Ning Fangfang, finished reading the message. Ning Xiaolan then looked around and said, "Everyone, please feel free to speak your mind today, and no charges will be made!"
As soon as Ning Xiaolan finished speaking, someone stepped out. It was the Minister of Revenue, Chen Yisheng.
"Your Majesty, I think we should follow the example of the Shang Kingdom! The development of Ning Kingdom is very similar to that of the Shang Kingdom. I even think it has more potential than the Shang Kingdom. We not only have a complete industrial base, but also guard the vast Wanzhu Sea, which makes it very convenient to trade with the fertile land of Shenzhou. Therefore, I think we should follow the example of the Shang Kingdom in national development and continue to carry out capital reform and capital expansion. But at the same time, in order to curb the development of the Shang Kingdom, we should do three things. First, on the surface, we are still allied with the Shang Kingdom. Second, secretly, we will spread our technology and even help other countries train technical personnel. Third, we should vigorously develop arms trade. We should learn from the Shang Kingdom and sell arms everywhere, so that every country has a strong combat effectiveness."
Ning Xiaolan was very satisfied after hearing this. "Reward: 10,000 taels of gold!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Yisheng was overjoyed. Ten thousand taels of gold was not much, but the Queen's attitude was precious.
Seeing that Chen Yisheng had taken the lead, the rest of the people were unwilling to fall behind and began to offer their opinions.
Some people say that it is secretly annexing neighboring countries through economic means, secret rebellion, military attacks, etc.
Some people say that we should learn from the commercial countries and expand finance, and then "buy" the surrounding countries.
Some people said that they should first eliminate the Liang State in the south, so that Ning State could dominate the western part of Yingzhou, which would be truly powerful. Of course, considering that the two countries were not weak, everyone had another plan.
The discussion was very intense, and the focus was finally on Liang. Now that Ningguo wanted to expand, it had to get rid of Liang. This was something that had to be done. Moreover, Shangguo and Ningguo had a good relationship, but the relationship with Liangguo was much worse, which was also an opportunity.
But just as everyone was discussing frantically, Li Jihua, the great scholar of Ningguo and the dean of Hede Academy, spoke up: "I have a question. Shangguo has been playing diplomatic games. It doesn't make sense for Shangguo to support us while suppressing Liangguo. Is there a trap here? If I were the planner of Shangguo, I would definitely support Liangguo to be equal to us in strength. But now Shangguo is supporting us very much and almost ignoring Liangguo. Even Shangguo has completed the construction of our teleportation array and is about to enter the final testing stage. But I always feel a faint worry and a sense of conspiracy."
