Facing King Li's questioning, Yuan Lin did not even blink, "My method can be summed up in four words, that is - economic unification!"
"Oh??? What is economic unification?"
"Before talking about economic unification, we must first talk about the traditional way of unification. The traditional way of unification is nothing more than military warfare, military conquest, and unification by force. This is a forced way of unification, and the loser will be doomed, so many people dare not fail and are unwilling to be killed, so they will naturally fight back desperately. In this case, unless one party can destroy all enemies in a crushing way and sweep away all obstacles with absolute advantage, it can unify the Bian State. But the reality is that no party can contend with more than three forces at the same time. This has led to the current situation in the Bian State. And if no changes are made, it can be foreseen that this situation will continue until the Bian State disappears completely."
King Li's eyes widened as he said word by word, "Bian State will not disappear! It has been like this for tens of thousands of years, and it will be the same in the future!"
Yuan Lin responded sharply: "Now there is the Shang Kingdom. The artillery shells and missiles fired from the warships at sea can completely cover the entire territory of Dongdu! If the Shang Kingdom suddenly launches a full-scale attack on the Bian Kingdom, I wonder if King Li has the confidence to hold out for a year?"
King Li stopped talking. Thinking about the information he had obtained from the Shang Kingdom and the extermination strategy adopted by the Shang Kingdom against the demons, King Li could not help but shudder.
Yuan Lin paused for a moment and continued, "The rapid rise of the Shang Kingdom has foreshadowed the arrival of a new era. Those who cannot keep up with the pace of the times will inevitably be eliminated by the times. This sentence is one of the most popular sayings in the Shang Kingdom. The demon tribe, which was once powerful, was eliminated by the times. The powerful demon tribe could not withstand more powerful weapons; now the corpses of the demon tribe are everywhere, tens of thousands of miles of mountains and forests have been burned, and hundreds of millions of demon tribes have been hunted. Nowadays, bone meal made from the bones of demon beasts is very popular in the Shang Kingdom. It is said that one pound of bone meal is worth one foundation-building pill. While the Shang Kingdom is fighting the demon tribe, the Shang Kingdom can also send a fleet to support Haozhou! It can also launch rockets to explore the outside world! If we don't make changes, then the Bian Kingdom will be the next demon tribe!"
King Li didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes became serious, and it was obvious that he had been persuaded by Yuan Lin.
Yuan Lin continued: "If we were to summarize the past of the Bian Kingdom, it would be that the tough military unification approach has failed!"
This sentence is very powerful.
King Li finally spoke: "Your economic unification will work?"
"I don't know! It depends on whether King Li has the courage to carry it out!"
King Li looked at Yuan Lin and asked, "How old are you this year?"
"Fourteen!"
"Fourteen years old... Fourteen years old..."
Yuan Lin looked directly at King Li and said, "As the saying goes, ambition does not depend on age. Do you agree, King Li?"
"So, what is economic unification?"
"Economic unification is a soft unification! Military unification infringes on the interests of others. Economic unification is about creating common interests for everyone. We have been at war for too long, and there is no foundation for unification in our concept. Therefore, we must implement economic unification, let everyone taste the sweetness of unification, and let everyone see the hope of peace and happiness. More importantly, economic unification will not put the weak in a life-and-death crisis, so it is easier to implement. When the entire Bian State forms a unified economic entity, it will be the moment for the unification of the Bian State! In the past, from the east to the west of the Bian State, the caravan had to pay dozens of tariffs and exchange currencies dozens of times. The price of taxes paid was as high as more than ten times the price of the goods themselves. This is the basis of economic unification, and there will definitely be many businessmen supporting us! The Shang Kingdom has set an example. The power of businessmen is absolutely beyond our imagination! The Shang Kingdom protected the interests of businessmen, and businessmen protected the country of the Shang Kingdom!"
