Chu Fan did not deny Liu Ruyan's words. After all, what Liu Ruyan said was true, so Chu Fan did not say much this time.
At this time, Changsun Pinqing asked, "Your Majesty has issued a decree to treat all territories that will be opened up in the future equally. So even if these Xiongnu soldiers do not join the Wei army, when Wei conquers these areas, their families will also enjoy the same treatment. Will these Xiongnu captives then think they have been tricked and become resentful of Wei?"
Liu Ruyan looked at the talented Changsun Pinqing and said with a smile, "This is about human nature. Sister Changsun, let me ask you a question. The people in Kaifeng City and the people in the remote areas of Wei State are both citizens of Wei State, but their living conditions and treatment are very different.
Moreover, the people of Kaifeng City had a sense of superiority over the people of other cities in the Wei State, and the same was true for the Xiongnu captives. The Xiongnu people who were able to enter the original territory of the Wei State would become old Wei people in the future, and those occupied areas would have to go through a period of governance and integration, and even need to build some infrastructure, before they could truly enjoy the welfare of the Wei State.
After listening to Liu Ruyan's explanation, Chang Sun Pinqing also came to her senses and said, "So that's how it is."
Seeing that Changsun Pinqing had no more doubts, Liu Ruyan continued, "Your Majesty's reforms to education have not only energized the ambitious people in Wei, but also inspired talented people from other countries to flock to Wei, seeking opportunities to show their talents, thanks to Your Majesty's tailored imperial examination system.
As a result, Wei's talent pool is growing, while other countries are losing talent. Wei will soon surpass other countries in every aspect and become the most powerful nation on the Shengwu Continent."
Mu Xi and the other girls also agreed with Liu Ruyan's point of view. Even the still very naive Changsun Pingting nodded in agreement.
Liu Ruyan continued, "What I just said was only about your majesty's layout for Shu and the Xiongnu. In order to unify the Shengwu Continent, your majesty's layout for other countries is also very exciting. You must know that the main foundation of the Gan Kingdom is the refined salt business.
Under the leadership of Your Majesty, the State of Wei produced more refined salt than the State of Gan, and the price sold by the State of Wei was much lower than that of the State of Gan. This made most countries on the Shengwu Continent give up buying refined salt from the State of Gan and instead buy refined salt from the State of Wei.
In order to regain the market, the State of Gan tried every possible means, even invading the State of Wei together with the Xiongnu, but was stopped by the Wei State, and many of the people of Gan were captured.
In this way, the refined salt business of Gan State became increasingly depressed. Because of the reduction in external income, if the royal family of Gan State wanted to continue to live a luxurious life as before, they had to exploit the wealthy and aristocratic families in Gan State. However, how could the aristocratic families in Gan State be willing to allow themselves to be exploited by the royal family of Gan State?
Therefore, during this period of time, there have been various forces in the country of Gan that have been resisting the imperial power and launching rebellions. Of course, there is also the credit of the Mu Yu family, the maidservant beside His Majesty, instigating this. Anyway, the country of Gan is now in great chaos.
Then, His Majesty ignited the war for wealth in Japan, which was in turmoil on the Shengwu Continent. His Majesty completely dragged all the countries in the Shengwu Continent into this fight for wealth, and the conflicts between the countries that already had grievances were completely aroused in Japan.
Furthermore, His Majesty did not let the Canglan Empire go. He took advantage of the conflict between the imperial power and the aristocratic families in the Canglan Empire and allowed the Canglan Empress to return to the Canglan Empire to fight for power. As long as there is a struggle for power, fighting and casualties are inevitable. This will greatly weaken the strength of the Canglan Empire.
At the same time, a force that resisted the imperial power of the Wilderness Kingdom emerged. Other countries might not know the origin of the leader of this resistance force, but I learned from the Royal Government Affairs Office that this person was Lin Pingzhi, who had climbed Mount Chuitai with the Tianjian Sect of the Wilderness Kingdom to learn martial arts secrets. When he returned to the Wilderness Kingdom, he found that his family had been wiped out by the royal family of the Wilderness Kingdom.
Moreover, he had also comprehended a set of peerless martial arts on Chuitai Mountain. After practicing hard in the deep mountains of Huangguo for more than a month, he killed the assassins who were chasing him. Finally, he fled to Wei and sought help from Wei. With the help of Wei, Lin Pingzhi, who changed his name to Qiu Lingshan, formed a team in Japan, and then united those people in Huangguo who had hatred towards the Huangguo court, and started revenge against Huangguo.
Another piece of news I just received recently is that the failed scholar Your Majesty met outside the teahouse, after receiving Your Majesty's guidance, returned to his homeland and began a struggle against the aristocratic families. Furthermore, I heard that this man called himself Huang Chao, and he expressed his ambition to be the first scholar to enter the imperial city.
Your Majesty, are there any countries on the Shengwu Continent that have not been harmed by you?"
Chu Fan really wanted to say that he had not done these things on purpose, and he was completely unaware of the last two things. He really had no idea about the affairs of the Desolate Country. It was entirely a decision made by the princes of the Royal Government Affairs Office. He was just chatting with a failed scholar outside the teahouse. How did this lead to Huang Chao? What did this have to do with him?
Chu Fan felt deeply exhausted. It was understandable that Liu Ruyan had interpreted the policies he had previously issued to fulfill system tasks as preparations for unifying the Shengwu Continent. However, he was truly unaware of the affairs of Lin Pingzhi and Huang Chao in the Desolate Country.
However, Chu Fan looked at Changsun Pingting and others who were looking at him with admiration, and Liu Ruyan who was smug and thought she had seen through everything, and he could not say a word of denial.
Chu Fan could only helplessly say, "As expected of the most talented woman in the Canglan Empire, you've seen through all my plans. I do have the ambition to unify the Shengwu Continent, but it's going to be a very difficult task. You have to know that the Shengwu Continent has a history that dates back thousands of years, and countless outstanding emperors have emerged over these thousands of years, but no emperor has ever accomplished the feat of unifying the Shengwu Continent."
Of course, Chu Fan hadn't given up on completing the system mission at this time. As a Chinese who had traveled from Blue Star, he had a special obsession with the word "great unification." Chu Fan thought that if he could complete the system mission while leading the expedition in person, that would be the best situation.
But there is another situation, that is, if the enemy is not strong enough, even if I rush to the front line of the Wei army, these enemies will not be able to assassinate or behead me, then I can only grit my teeth and unify the Shengwu Continent.
And after Liu Ruyan's analysis just now, it seems that there is a very high probability that he can unify the Shengwu Continent. Now the countries on the Shengwu Continent are basically facing various problems, so when the Wei court is ready to go on the expedition, he will leave the palace and personally lead the army to embark on the expedition.
