"Humans are social animals that live in groups. Do you know where sociality manifests itself?"
Sitting at the dining table and eating, Lu Chen pushed the letter sent from Xixia to Li Xiang.
"I am a dull disciple, please enlighten me, Master."
"It's simple. The most typical manifestation of sociality is the existence of hierarchy. Not only us humans, but even if you observe monkeys, you'll find that even in the smallest monkey groups, hierarchy exists."
"Your junior brother has done a great job. How can you quickly destabilize a society? It's simple. Just create a whole new social class within the existing ones."
"Such a class would be best located in the middle of the social structure, so that it can undermine the stability of the social structure."
"Actually, I shouldn't be telling you this kind of knowledge right now, but since you're the crown prince, there's no harm in learning it in advance."
Li Xiang was very excited. He felt that it was his immortal master who was teaching him the art of ruling, and he was teaching it very well.
Being able to break down those profound principles and explain them to him using such exquisite metaphors really benefited him a lot.
Li Xiang had teachers in the palace before, and those teachers also taught some imperial studies.
But in Li Xiang's opinion, the so-called imperial studies of those corrupt scholars are pure bullshit.
If I really follow those corrupt scholars, even if I learn it, I will still be a tyrant!
"Junior brother has done really well in Xixia. I thought it would take him at least three to five years to make a breakthrough, but I didn't expect that he has already established a firm foothold in Xixia in such a short time."
Lu Chen didn't think what Fan Zeng did was amazing. His success in gaining a foothold in Western Xia had little to do with Fan Zeng.
The main reason was that the Great Qi had just defeated the Liao and Jin dynasties, and now they had the confidence to fight back.
In addition, after Xixia started trading with them, it did gain considerable benefits. The old nobles suffered heavy losses some time ago, and the emerging nobles gradually gained the upper hand.
In addition, all kinds of fresh products from Da Qi were continuously transported to Xixia, which really opened the eyes of the Xixia people. It was normal for them to gain a foothold in the concession.
"This is just the beginning. Believe me, within three to five years, the entire Xixia nobility will be proud to have a house in the capital."
Lu Chen paused here. He believed that as the strength of Da Qi grew, it would attract more and more people to live in the capital of Da Qi.
So the question is, do I need to plan my real estate investment in advance?
"You useless thing, you've already become a royal teacher, and you're still thinking about trivial matters like the house."
Li Xiang has always believed in Lu Chen's judgment.
If he didn't have this trust, he wouldn't have dared to fight the enemy on the city wall with his weapons in hand.
"Master, then, to what extent will Xixia and we cooperate in the future before we can be considered to have completely controlled Xixia through economic colonization?"
"That's a very good question. When Xixia no longer uses its own currency, and all the paper money circulating in the market is ours, then we will pretty much have the final say over the entire Xixia."
As Lu Chen spoke, he began to look forward to it. He really wanted to see how wonderful the expressions on the faces of the entire Xixia nobles would be on that day.
At this time, Mou Ping walked in, bowed, and said, "Grandmaster, everything is ready. The nobles from Liao and Jin who are loyal to us have also arrived."
Lu Chen twisted his neck and pointed at Li Xiang, saying, "Help His Royal Highness change his clothes. Dress him up nicely and make him look more elegant. Keep the accessories as tacky as possible. I remember he has a half-pound pendant. Put it on."
"When you're chatting with those Liao and Jin country bumpkins, you can't be elegant. You must immediately inflict a powerful mental shock on them and leave them deeply shaken."
"Master, I understand the truth, but why me? You can do it too."
"This Immortal Master's personality is fixed and cannot be changed. Once it is changed, the personality will easily collapse."
"Besides, this is also for the sake of your Li family's kingdom, so it would be more appropriate for you to come forward."
Alzhen and a group of nobles were waiting anxiously outside the door. For this group of people, they came here with a gamble mentality.
If they cannot gain any benefits in Luchen, their tribe may not survive the winter even without Yelu Song's punishment when they return.
There was no way out. The Liao and Jin suffered heavy losses in this battle, and most of the adults were killed in the two cities.
These were all small tribes. Even when they were hunting for grass and grain, they could only follow behind to drink some soup and share some of the things that the big tribes looked down upon.
As a result, he not only didn’t get to drink the soup, but he also died.
What’s even more infuriating is that Yelu Song didn’t care about their life or death at all, and didn’t respond to the message they passed on.
As the saying goes, you can't die from holding your urine. If you don't care about us, we will have to find another way to make a living.
Jabar, the Heli tribe's chief, came forward, a look of fear on his face. He asked, "Alzhen, is everything you said true? As long as we're willing to cooperate, will that master really treat us well?"
"Yes, after all, our two countries have just finished a war, and there is still a deep blood feud. How could he be so kind?"
"I'm afraid they're trying to lure us over here and then catch us in a trap. If that's the case, we're in real danger."
