"Of course I know this." There was no need to be so polite in front of Liu Muzhi.

Now it's just Liu Muzhi and I. He still has to be my vassal, but I can relax a little. After all, Liu Muzhi has been with me since the beginning.

"But even if God didn't set up this principle, we have to create it."

"We have to find a solution that's the best of both worlds. This number will expand to hundreds of thousands in the future. We must properly accommodate and utilize this labor force."

"There's no way we can't use it. We can't support 500,000 idle people."

Liu Muzhi thought for a long time and did not speak for a long time. Zhao Xin did not disturb him and let him think carefully.

"Then I do have an idea."

"Tell me about it quickly."

Liu Muzhi said, "It's still your Majesty's method, storing government grain."

"Why not... just raise an army?"

"Raise an army?" Zhao Xin was stunned.

"Yes, to raise an army."

"Your Majesty... You have now quelled the civil unrest within the court and restored order to the government."

"But... Your Majesty, how many troops can you actually command?"

"Nan Cang...he is not a traitor..."

"Besides, Nan...Nan Luoying Zun...Your Majesty is His Majesty's imperial consort. Naturally, the Nan family is no longer a big problem."

"But... Your Majesty still needs elite troops at your disposal. Your Majesty has so many powerful generals under your command... I only took a few glances and knew General Li Cunxiao and General Wang Xuance. They are military gods who can pacify a region with just one troop."

"Your Majesty, you must have soldiers in your hands to control the world. We cannot rely solely on the Nan family, and we cannot rely solely on the relationship between Your Majesty and the Grand Marshal to rule the world." Liu Muzhi didn't know how to address Nan Luoying for a moment, and used a very awkward word.

After listening to this, Zhao Xin said, "Okay, I understand."

"You mean to recruit 100,000 refugees as my private army?"

"No, we recruit all refugees as our private army." Liu Muzhi said to Zhao Xin.

"All? Can we feed so many people?"

"We won't feed everyone. Out of the 500,000 people, we'll only keep 150,000. The remaining 350,000 will receive military pay and continue to invest in production and continue to work and live in various cities."

Zhao Xin suddenly understood. "I understand."

"The reason these refugees can't survive is not because they can't work to support themselves, but because they don't even have the money they need."

"We just need to provide them with transition money, and they can immediately resume their normal lives!"

Liu Muzhi nodded, "That's right, Your Majesty."

"These 500,000 refugees are not 500,000 useless people. Each of them has a skill to support themselves, but they have no money or food to survive."

"Your Majesty, gather all the refugees and train them. We will select the best soldiers to stay."

"Of course, we let them make their own choices. If they want to leave, we won't force them to stay. We'll just keep them paid. That way, they can immediately resume production and live a normal life as ordinary people."

Zhao Xin took a deep breath and nodded slowly, "But... this method of yours will only make us lose money and not make any money..."

"Of course we made a profit. The army stayed to fight and wipe out those seven kings."

"Let General Li Cunxiao and General Wang Xuance go and fight."

"Defeat them one by one and confiscate all the king's private property."

"All the lands of the seven kings will be taken over by you, Your Majesty."

"This is your Majesty's own land. You can give it to whoever you want. If you don't want to share it, you can keep it to collect taxes and grain, and then govern it carefully. Ultimately, this world belongs to your Majesty alone."

Zhao Xin listened and said, "I see. You're playing the long game, preparing for a big move."

Liu Muzhi leaned forward and continued, "The Holy Lords and Divine Emperors all secured their thrones and governed the world after completing major actions."

"I only wish to help Your Majesty pacify the world. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me for any mistakes I may have made."

Zhao Xin helped Liu Muzhi up again. "How could I have said anything wrong? Only after the Seven Kings are destroyed can I truly be like an emperor."

"They rebel against my kingdom just because they want to. Do they even take me seriously?"

Liu Muzhi continued, "After the 500,000 refugees are organized into a 150,000-strong elite force, these 150,000 elite troops will go and quell the rebellion of the Seven Kings."

"It is your Majesty who will pacify this, not Nancang."

"Your Majesty will pay for the food and supplies for these 150,000 elite soldiers, and the 500,000 trainee soldiers will be allowed to cultivate the land for the grain."

"I have a plan for military pay."

"Oh? You have a plan for this? Tell me!"

"Let the noble family come out!" Liu Muzhi continued.

"Okay! Tell me exactly how to get them out."

"The family has a very deep foundation. Often, even if the world changes, they can't change. It's time for them to contribute some of their strength to the country."

"Your Majesty, please only draft a blood edict, expressing your deepest hatred for the rebellious bandits and rebels who have disturbed the world."

"The imperial family is shaken, the world is in turmoil, and the people cannot live and work in peace."

"But the treasury is empty. I am determined to wipe out the rebels!"

"Your Majesty will pay half of the military pay, and let the noble families figure out the rest."

"If you don't hand it over, you're disobeying orders, you're not helping the army suppress the rebels, and you're willing to watch the world change hands."

“Kill without mercy!”

Zhao Xin remained silent after hearing this, and then continued, "Mu Zhi, the aristocratic families often don't take the royal family seriously."

Liu Mu just continued, "That's true."

"That's why we have to use thunder and lightning to shock them into losing their temper."

"Your Majesty, when you collect taxes from the noble families, you will have 150,000 elite soldiers at your disposal. If they disobey your imperial decree, you will have to kill them if you have no other choice!"

Zhao Xin was stunned when he heard this. "Mu Zhi, are you asking me to uproot this aristocratic family?"

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard a word?"

"What?"

"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world." Liu Muzhi said.

"Of course I've heard that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

"What is the will of the people? It means they cannot bear to see anyone else take over the world and ascend to the throne."

"The so-called public sentiment is the hope that one can be the one who dominates the world."

"Your Majesty, if you can't even control this aristocratic family, how can you control the countless ambitious heroes in the world?"

"How can we suppress the raptors that plunder and prey on the territory of the Qin Empire? How can we suppress the kings from all directions who are spying on the territory of the Qin Empire?"

It was the first time that Zhao Xin heard Liu Muzhi speak to him like this, and he was speechless after hearing every word he said.

Liu Muzhi leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, before, we couldn't even protect ourselves, so saying this can naturally be considered a fantasy."

"Your Majesty, if you trust me, I can tell you, but if others hear it, it will naturally be a joke."

"But now that Your Majesty has this strength, I naturally have to say these words to Your Majesty."
