Inside Bian Kingdom, on an ordinary hill, there were ten camps divided into ten directions, and representatives of ten powerful separatist regimes were meeting.
Under the influence of the idea of economic unification, the chaotic situation in Bian was further unified. The situation of 33 large separatist regimes and hundreds of small separatist regimes has been completely transformed into ten "customs unions".
Among them, the "Six Capitals" of the Bian Kingdom in the past are still strong, including Shangdu, Zhongdu, Dongdu, Wudu, Youdu, and Nandu. Among them, Dongdu is the strongest now.
As the birthplace of the idea of economic unification, Dongdu did have many advantages; and at this time, Yuan Lin, the founder of the idea of economic unification, was sitting next to King Li of Dongdu, second only to the old ministers around King Li.
From time to time, someone looked at Yuan Lin, with amazement flashing in their eyes - he is still a young boy.
In addition to the six capitals, there are four other powerful Jiedushi:
Cao Rong, the governor of Yicheng, near Ziyan County, on the eastern coast;
Zhenwu Jiedushi and Luoxing, who were on the southern coast and close to the Sima Empire;
The Jiedushi of Sui'an, Dao Lengfeng, who is located between Nandu and Youdu;
The Longshan Jiedushi, Zhuang Juxian, was located in the north of Youdu and west of Zhongdu.
At this time, everyone sat down and looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.
In the silence, Zhang Hongying, the female Nandu Yan Wang, spoke up and looked at Yuan Lin: "You must be Yuan Lin."
"Greetings, King Yan." Yuan Lin stood up and greeted him.
Zhang Hongying smiled slightly: "Yuanlin, it has now been proven that economic unification is indeed the most suitable strategy for Bian State at present. I wonder how you came up with this idea in the first place?"
Yuan Lin said almost without thinking: "This is what I learned from the Shang Kingdom. In fact, the situation in the Shang Kingdom is similar to that in our Bian Kingdom. In the Shang Kingdom, each group is a vassal; some large groups are rich enough to rival a country. These are all well-known things. However, there has been no division in the Shang Kingdom. There are many reasons for this, and we do not rule out the great talent and strategy of the wise king. But at least one thing is certain, it is 'economy and wealth' that firmly links the Shang Kingdom. The interests of various groups are linked to each other, forming an inseparable whole. This is the Shang Kingdom. Anyone who wants to destroy the Shang Kingdom must first face, not the military power of the Shang Kingdom, but the interest alliance of these groups."
After the conversation started, Prince Jing of Zhongdu next to him slowly said, "Yuanlin, in your opinion, should we attack the Kingdom of Shang now? The Kingdom of Shao has united 36 countries to attack together. This is a rare opportunity."
Yuan Lin smiled innocently, "Greetings, Prince Jing. Your strategy for economic unification is plagiarized from the Shang Kingdom. As for military and national affairs, I dare not speculate rashly."
After Yuan Lin finished speaking, he bowed again, then slowly sat back down and stopped talking.
Here, King Wu of Wudu spoke up, but his tone was quite sarcastic: "In my opinion, we in Bian should not get involved in the affairs of the Shang Kingdom for the time being. Since I am a member of Bian, I will say it even if it is unpleasant. The current Bian Kingdom is not qualified to participate in the annexation war. Maybe if we move a little, we will be annexed. The process of the Shang Kingdom attacking the Liu Kingdom happened under our noses."
