Chapter 82, Ten-State Alliance
Humans are the most complex creatures. No matter what happens, there will be disagreements when there are more people involved.
Li Mu proposed that the ten southwestern prefectures form an alliance to jointly suppress ghost disasters, and the same is true. Some people support it, some people oppose it.
The guy who was unwilling to bow down and surrendered to secretly make secret connections, trying to attract other major forces to interfere.
Of course, these activities have nothing to do with Li Fan. Inviting people to join is not only about strength, but also about identity and background.
The origin of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion alone is enough to stop all forces. No one wants to bring a spy into the team and cause trouble for themselves.
Even if Li Fan made a public statement, it was useless. People thought it was fishing and law enforcement. Just look at the performance of the local families in Tianfeng County. Li Fan just showed a little temptation, and everyone quickly expressed strong support.
The explanation is meaningless, and everyone only believes in their own investigation results. Although Li Fan is outside the core of the Marquis' Mansion, the two sides have never broken up, let alone hatred.
Even if you are dissatisfied and want to fight against your family, you must consider your parents' feelings. Reincarnated saints who posit benevolent, righteous and moral, cannot even violate their own "Tao".
Once the tag is hit on the head, it will be difficult to take it off. All parties believe that Li Fan’s way is “benevolence, righteousness and morality”, and it is useless to say that he himself does not.
There is no way. The core of literary and moral propaganda has always been "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness."
The Great Zhou that did not have the same destruction survived and perished, and the idea of "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" has collapsed, and only benevolence, righteousness and morality can be used.
If benevolence, righteousness and morality are gone, everyone will doubt how his great Confucianism came about.
The most important thing is that although Li Fan has a strong fortune, he does not have the dragon energy to add. This cannot be concealed by the monk Tianji who is good at observing fortunes.
It’s not that humanity doesn’t love him as the protagonist, but when the Great Zhou collapsed and the dragon energy scattered, Li Fan also had a princess who fell into ruin.
Although he did not intend to control it, he still automatically avoided the remnants of the previous dynasty when choosing the master.
Without dragon energy, it is too difficult to become a hidden dragon and participate in the battle for dragons in troubled times. You must first become a prince, and slowly accumulate luck and turn into dragons step by step.
On the one hand, we started from scratch, and needed employees to sell cars and bring their own dry food to participate in the sale of houses; on the other hand, we took billions of project start-up funds, and in the past, we had an annual salary of one million.
With such an obvious gap, normal people know how to choose. No matter how fragrant the cake is, it is useless. Now what everyone needs is to save their lives first.
...
I don’t know that it undoubtedly destroyed the hegemony of his own Jiu Ge. Li Mu was busy arguing with all forces. In name, it was an alliance, but in fact it was an merger.
It is impossible to buy it, and even Li Mu cannot guarantee everyone's existing interests.
"Humanitarian Reform" not only eliminates the Great Zhou Empire, but also the class monopoly of aristocratic families. If you want to establish a stable regime, you must cut down this knife.
Anything, as long as it involves interests, will become troublesome. Small and medium-sized forces compromise to save their lives, but the large forces do not give in at all.
After glanced at the fearless representatives of all parties, Li Mu sighed secretly. He originally wanted to be a good person, but now he can only be an unscrupulous politician.
"Enterprises, powers and obligations must be equal, and all benefits cannot be taken over. If you want to retain your autonomy, you will not stop you.
But the ghosts in the jurisdiction must find ways to suppress them. Don’t ask for help every now and then, no one is so idle.
The Yuanshen warrior is not your slave, and can: come when summoned and leave when you whisper. If you make this choice, all the consequences will be borne by you.
For the sake of our human race, I would still ask the elders in the clan to kill the ghost kings from all over the world. However, the Yuanshen warrior has a noble status and cannot take action in vain.
To kill a ghost king, you need to pay 300,000 energy stones. Whoever the ghost king is on will pay for it.
The sealing of a ghost realm is also 300,000 energy stones, and it also appears on whose territory, who is responsible for paying the money.
If the energy stone is insufficient, you are allowed to use heavenly treasures and various materials to recharge, but credit is prohibited."
When everyone heard the last number, their faces changed drastically. The number "300,000" doesn't sound like a lot, but this is an energy stone, not silver.
The energy stone mineral veins in the southwestern states are scarce, and the "300,000" is almost a county, with energy stone production in one or two years.
It seems that for these major forces spanning many counties, it seems that the problem is not too big, and it will be squeezed out.
In fact, this is not the case. All forces have a group of people to support, and they don’t have much savings every year. Especially after the troubled times come, these strategic resources become increasingly scarce.
If you are lucky, there is no ghost king in the territory and there are not many ghost realms, then you will get through it by gritting your teeth and paying money.
If you are unlucky, there are several ghost kings in the territory, and unfortunately there are many ghost realms, it will cause damage.
Rejection is simple, but the consequences are somewhat serious. If the soul warrior kills the Ghost King everywhere, there is only one place that is a safe area for ghosts, and what will happen next is self-evident.
Of course, you can also invite experts from other major forces to come and kill ghosts. However, no master at the level of the soul is easy to invite.
Here we are clearly marked with price tags, and we are not only good at giving gifts elsewhere, but more importantly, we will owe favors.
It is the most difficult to repay the debt of favors, especially in troubled times. Now that you owe favors from a large force, you may have to repay the lives of the whole family in the future.
"Mr. Li is easy to say about other things, just whether the price can be...
Before the person who emerged from the scene finished speaking, Li Mu interrupted directly: "Brother Cheng, I have to give everyone face if I have to give you my face. This is really difficult to deal with.
You have experienced how difficult it is to kill the Ghost King. Unless the Yuanshen warrior or the Yangshen immortal cultivator takes action, it will be difficult to keep them even if multiple people are besieged at the same level.
I think everyone has tried it too. Not only does the formation master need to take action, but special treasures are also needed to make a formation plate to achieve the sealing effect.
If you have a better solution, you can also propose it. Let us brainstorm together to find cheaper solutions.
For example: Brother Cheng has a good relationship with Bodhi Temple. Why would you rather invite the monks in the temple to come and kill ghosts?"
As one of the seven schools of righteous path, Bodhi Temple is also a major force. Today's appearance may lead to the shadow of Bodhi Temple.
However, Bodhi Temple is far away in southern Xinjiang, and there is only one Yuanshen monk in the temple. At this time, he is busy cleaning up the ghost disasters in southern Xinjiang, and he can't get rid of it for a while.
In a short period of time, only a few top forces had the spare time to intervene in external affairs. These major forces secretly divided the areas of attack.
Of course, this agreement is limited to dividing humanitarian merits. It does not mean that the world will compete for hegemony in the future, but also according to this division. When it comes to humanitarian competition for dragons, everyone will still use their own means.
But that is all about the future. At present, Li Mu has just come into the sight of all parties and has not grown to the point where he has feared the major forces of several parties.
Unifying the ten southwestern states is by no means as simple as it seems. Even if all local forces compromise, it will take a lot of energy and time to sort out the internal affairs.
For top forces, it is not a secret that humanity wants to change. If it cannot satisfy this, no matter how fast it develops, it is a pioneer of being a king.
Otherwise, the aristocratic families would not have been so far, and they still held a lofty attitude and did not win over the following families.
Ultimately, it is because they know that in the general trend set by humanity, the current monopoly class is the target of this wave of cleaning.
Including the aristocratic families themselves, they are all members of the whirlpool. It is not easy to be able to pull themselves out of the catastrophe, so how could they bring themselves a group of pig teammates?
Not everyone is the ancient emperor, but he dares to give humanity a cruel person. Most people are rational and do not have the courage to wrestle the wrists with humanity.
To be precise, as long as he is still a human being, he will not be a rival to humanity. The ancient universe can calculate humanity because he has already jumped out.
If he is still one of the human beings, he may have killed himself before the plan has been opened.
Looking at a group of guys who were still unaware of the robbery, Li Mu naturally would not be angry with them.
Since my family took over Liangzhou, they have not occupied land. How could they let these guys play with the big annexation?
The convening of this meeting itself is a cover. On the one hand, it is to openly build the plank road and secretly visit Chencang. The conference is used as bait to attract everyone's attention and expand in secret.
On the other hand, it is for justice. With the existence of the alliance, you can later intervene in various local affairs in the name of the alliance.
For example: If a certain unlucky force suddenly encounters a hungry ghost attack, or is killed by a monster, or is even taken away by an old demon, the alliance can naturally take over the territory.
It will save you from being famous, raising hatred everywhere, and making you notorious. Just a nominal alliance is enough, and power and obligations do not need to be explicit.
If these guys really come over, Li Mu will be worried about how to get them out. It’s much simpler now, just talk about business directly.
With his perfect tongue, he pulled the tiger skin of the Li family in Suizhou and relied on coercion and inducement and threats. After two days of disputes, the Southwest Ten Prefectures Ghost Town Alliance was successfully released.
However, this alliance is a three-no product, there is no contract document, no clear ally obligations, and no restrictions on the scope and duration of the alliance.
All the content is a verbal gentleman agreement. How much effect can be exerted depends entirely on everyone's integrity.
