"Your Majesty, based on my observations in the Western Regions, managing foreign lands cannot rely solely on the government and the imperial guards. The right path lies in the joint efforts of nobles and commoners. The people of the North are fierce and valiant, while the people of our Great Xia are kind and gentle. Without suitable weapons, I fear it will be difficult to control the local Rakshasa barbarians..."

The court was filled with officials who had returned from the Western Regions, and they offered their opinions based on what they had seen and heard.

"I have also made a decision on this matter. From today onwards, the Wang family workshop will open up the sale of firearms to the people of Great Xia who are expanding overseas. As long as they are people of Great Xia, they will not be subject to the restrictions of the Firearms Management Regulations when they are overseas."

"The Empress Dowager is wise..."

"The Empress Dowager is benevolent..."

Wang Yushi's stay in Dayuan for more than ten days was not in vain. She inquired in detail about Qin Mo's various details regarding overseas expansion, and then almost completely copied Dayuan's expansion management rules, preparing to implement them in Luosha territory.

Wang Yushi also expressed concern about this system of enfeoffment of nobles, worrying that the nobles enfeoffed outside the capital would eventually break free from the control of the imperial court.

However, Qin Mo explained to her in detail the advantages and disadvantages of the enfeoffment system and its future development trend.

In today's world, where transportation and communication are underdeveloped, the feudal system is a very effective way to expand and manage. The British Empire once ruled over most of the world by relying on a large number of governors and nobles.

However, once trains, ships, and even airplanes were invented, the distance between the imperial center and the distant frontiers was effectively shortened, making centralized power easier. If you dared to declare independence today, tomorrow trains and ships would arrive with large armies, leaving you no time to surrender.

Wang Yushi trusted Qin Mo completely. In the decades that followed, the Great Xia firmly implemented its expansion strategy of granting fiefdoms to nobles, rapidly doubling its territory and establishing its dominant position in the Eastern world.
