Fang Yun smiled and said, "First, even if there is a crisis, it will be many years later. The current innovation can at least help us get through the current crisis. Second, since the items cannot be sold, the owner of the workshop will naturally choose to make items that can be sold, and will also create items that humans need. It's a very simple truth. In primitive tribes, no one thinks that reading and writing are useful, but when humans need it, they will naturally create writing."
"As for the third point, we not only have internal needs, but we can also conduct external trade. Why don't we make things that the dragon and sea tribes need? Why can't we help them process items in the sea? Why don't we make items that the ancient monsters need? Why don't we make items that the star monsters need? And those alien races, fierce creatures and other races are all potential buyers of our human race's items. We can even sell items to the monster world. Of course, we can't sell items that can enhance their strength. We can only sell daily necessities and luxury goods that can corrupt their will. So, there may be many problems, but there must be ways to solve them."
An old man from the Gong family said sullenly, "Doesn't that mean that we humans have to work for all the races in the myriad worlds? We humans have to serve them?"
Fang Yun was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Mr. Chu, this kind of thinking is not good. What's the difference between you thinking this way and some Confucianists looking down on the workers? What we sell is not only the goods, not only the labor we put in, but also our value and our influence. Others can't do it, but we can. Why is that? It's because we have advantages in this regard. When many advantages accumulate, we are powerful! Once the various ethnic groups are accustomed to using our human items, they will inevitably accept our concepts, which will affect their minds and ideas. In a sense, we gain not only money, but also recognition. When recognition accumulates to a certain extent, it will become admiration and even... cultivate a spiritual human race. Compared with the cost of conquering an ethnic group by force, the cost of exporting culture and other methods is lower. Of course, the premise is that our human race is strong enough. At least when they speak with force, we can refute with force instead of shutting up obediently."
The great scholars smiled, Fang Yun’s last metaphor was very interesting.
Xu Shi looked at Fang Yun with a complicated look in his eyes, and said, "Have you really thought it through? You must know that once you implement this plan, you will be cursed for at least a hundred years. Those displaced people will curse you, those righteous scholars will curse you, and your enemies will curse you. Your literary reputation will inevitably be affected."
"There are many things we could have done better, but we didn't. Why can't they scold us? They are not scolding me for my innovations, but for my mistakes."
Inside the workshop, there was a chorus of sighs, a mixture of helplessness and admiration.
Xu Shi praised: "The heart of a saint and sage is nothing more than this."
Fang Yun smiled slightly and said, "Let's continue talking about business. Besides..."
Fang Yun began to describe his plan, covering all aspects. He had almost foreseen all possible problems and had emergency plans. Although he could not prevent things from happening, he would definitely prevent the situation from getting worse.
The great scholars of the three halls did not completely trust Fang Yun from the beginning, so the entire meeting took a very long time and discussed many details to prevent Fang Yun from making any omissions that would eventually bring disaster to the human race.
After a day and a night, everyone finished their discussion. When the meeting was about to end, a document suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the workshop and landed in front of Mo Shangtong.
Everyone stood up at the same time.
Mo Shangtong solemnly picked up the document and read it several times before looking up at Fang Yun and saying, "His Majesty the East Saint has decreed that the achievements of the reform will be recorded in the history books, and the eternal infamy will be borne by the Holy Court. The East Saint has another oral order. You have shed all your blood, and you should not shed tears anymore."
Fang Yun was slightly stunned, then smiled and nodded slightly.
All the great scholars looked at Fang Yun with kind eyes.
After a few breaths, Mo Shangtong said, "Since His Majesty the Eastern Saint has issued a decree, our plan must be changed. Fang Xusheng, the Holy Court values merit over reputation, but we must protect your reputation. Of course, if you want to gamble on your literary reputation through this reform, everything will remain the same."
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Why count money while being scolded when you can make a fortune quietly?"
The great scholars also laughed.
They were very happy because the hero was not disappointed this time.
Fang Yun accepted the favor from the Holy Academy.
Gao Mo, the elder of the Criminal Hall, said: "If that's the case, then the first step of the land acquisition will be taken by us in the Criminal Hall. Fang Xusheng only needs to make plans in secret."
"Okay, I'll write a detailed plan document in three days at most."
The three-hall meeting ended.
Next, Fang Yun focused all his energy on the plan and no longer issued new drafts. He simply asked his subordinates to consolidate the results of the innovation.
The work intensity suddenly dropped, and the officials in the capital were somewhat uncomfortable with it, but they also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate that they could finally take a break for a while.
However, a document from the Criminal Hall was like a bucket of cold water that woke up the officials of Jing State who were dreaming of taking a rest.
It turned out that the Criminal Palace had been inspecting various countries and found that since the barbarians invaded the south, the public security problem in Jing State had become unprecedentedly serious. Serious cases had occurred in various places, especially those involving local tyrants and evil gentry.
On the day the document was issued, Gao Mo, the elder of the Criminal Palace, arrived in Jing State in person and established a temporary department in Jing State to crack down on serious crimes. He served as the director of the department, and the three prime ministers and the grand marshal of Jing State served as deputy directors. They had to carry out an all-round crackdown on the evil forces in Jing State. They had to plow every inch of Jing State's land like plowing a field, plow out all the evil, and prohibit the evil forces from breeding in Jing State!
When this incident happened, officials from various countries laughed and laughed at Jingguo's joke, because similar things had happened in history. Basically, the Holy Court could not stand the problems of a certain country, and in order to avoid bringing disaster to the entire human race, it personally stepped in to solve the problem.
Once the Holy Court takes action personally, it would be a loud slap in the face to the royal family and officials of a country.
The officials of Qing State, in particular, gloated over other people's misfortune and constantly mocked and ridiculed Jing State on the discussion board, mocking the incompetence of Jing State officials and dragging the Ministry of Justice to come forward in person.
Even many officials of Jing State believed that there was a big problem in Jing State, and morale was extremely low.
Rumors also spread in various places that Dong Sheng had finally begun to discipline Fang Yun.
However, officials from Ning'an and Xiangzhou, as well as some officials who knew each other very well, had an inexplicable sense of weirdness.
Because, if Gao Mo was replaced by Fang Yun, it would almost be a repeat of the past.
Fang Yun also did something similar.
No matter what happens in the outside world, the will of the Criminal Hall cannot be shaken.
The Criminal Court sent out an unprecedented team, and even temporarily drew Legalist scholars from battlefields and various countries and sent them to every part of Jing State.
Make sure that every county has at least one Legalist scholar!
Moreover, this was done secretly.
The largest crackdown in human history was launched in Jing Country.
On the surface, the Criminal Court was handling various cases in Jing State, but secretly, those Legalist scholars joined forces with the Ministry of Water Resources and Soil to collect evidence of crimes committed by families from all over the country.
