Chapter 1554 Burn It
In the Kingdom of Shang, Li Xian, who had just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, was holding a meeting. The decisive battle has begun, and the whole country needs to unify its thinking.
Although ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the state of Shang has not changed much; except that the palace has been changed into a palace and some decorations have been added, there is almost no change in the rest.
Even Li Xian's 'office' was only sorted out here at the Prime Minister's Office. After opening several rooms on the top floor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, an office of about 500 square meters was sorted out.
In today's state where even the offices of ordinary merchants in Shangguo are thousands of square feet, Li Xian's office environment can be said to be very harsh and simple.
However, thanks to the development of technology, most of the business meetings and so on are held in the virtual space. For example, now, in a beautiful place in the virtual space, Li Xian and Shang Guo's top management are having a meeting.
Also present at the meeting were the top 300 merchants and chaebols of the Shang Kingdom. It is undeniable that these merchants have become the pillars of the Shang country. They are already worthy of the name of the nobles of the Shang country, and many national strategies of the Shang country also need their support.
Of course, the merchant class also has a characteristic, that is, it is easy to be controlled by the state. As long as they dare to be disobedient, the state has the means to sanction them; and the state can support new businessmen at any time to fill the vacancies.
This is a kind of balance, but after more than 40 years of development, it has also constituted a stable state structure for the Shang Kingdom.
Everyone sat down, Li Xian sat on a high place, there was no Long live my emperor, and there was no kneeling, everyone sat upright, looked at Li Xian, and waited for Li Xian to speak.
The country of Shang is a pragmatic country.
Li Xian saw that everyone was due, and said: "Just now, just after the first 36 days of the Ascension Passage, someone from the Immortal Realm wanted to go down to earth. But we repelled them!
According to the military report, the first batch of immortals who entered the Ascension Passage were all wiped out! "
"Hiss..." There were gasping voices all around. The senior officials of the third rank and above in the Shang Kingdom were fine, after all, everyone had already known some information in advance; but the slightly lower officials and those big businessmen were dumbfounded.
Although everyone knows that the Shang Kingdom and the Immortal World have decided to face each other, and the matter of the Ascension Passage is also vivid in everyone's mind, and even hatred; but, it is another emotion to really face the Immortal World.
This is... There is absolutely no room for change. But the people in the Shang country seemed to be very proud, and everyone quickly got rid of their depression, and their eyes exuded the spirit of wolves.
Shang Guo wants to challenge the fairy world!
It's just that the Shang Kingdom at this time doesn't know that there is only one "Qiankang Immortal Kingdom" in the Immortal World! Instead, the entire "Heaven Realm" was startled by Jing!
At this moment, Li Xian saw everyone's performance in his eyes, and finally nodded with satisfaction: "Everyone, Shang Guo has no retreat, and it is impossible to retreat.
We already know the past of the Immortal World very well. In addition to the passage of ascension, Immortal Realm has sent two groups of people down to earth, trying to destroy us.
Let's not talk about the account, just talk about the attitude of the fairy world, which has already shown everything.
Now, whether it is for our dreams or for our survival, we must make a choice. Next, the Shang Kingdom will likely face the most severe war.
The war is divided into two parts.
First, to ensure the normal national ascension of the merchant country.
Second, it is necessary to ensure that the Shang Kingdom has a firm foothold in the fairy world. "
Li Xian's eyes scanned slowly, and everyone sat up straight at once, the fateful moment finally arrived.
"Everyone, is there anything you want to say?"
"Your Majesty," Lan Baolin got up, "Your Majesty, since we are going to prepare for the battle with all our strength, what should the Tianwaitian Exploration United Group do?"
Lan Baolin's Greenwood Investment Bank is one of the major shareholders of Tianwaitian Group, and Lan Baolin is also the Minister of Commerce of Shangguo, so he has to ask at this time.
Li Xian shook his head slightly: "As I said before, the two development paths of the state and the people do not affect each other, and even complement each other. Now the country is actively arming, which requires a lot of resources from the people.
Such resources include not only actual materials, but also a large number of workers trained by the people, production lines, production capacity, and even feeding a large number of people. In particular, you need to help produce a large number of military equipment parts, semi-finished materials, etc.
National preparations for war do not mean that all production capacity is tilted towards the military, which will eventually lead the country to a dead end.
Besides, the decisive battle with the fairy world will mainly focus on the masters, and ordinary people should work honestly. "
Although Lan Baolin was relieved, he was still a little worried after all--can this national ascension really succeed?
At this time, another businessman stood up, "Your Majesty, can we discuss with the Immortal Realm and buy it to obtain a short-term peace so that we can enter the Immortal Realm smoothly? Then we can plan for development?"
When Li Xian heard it, his eyes lit up, and he had a very creative idea. After looking at it, this person is Yang Fugui of the Yang Group, the largest food and cultivation resource group in the Shang Kingdom.
But soon, Xu Ren denied it: "We are facing the fairy world, a world high above them, and they will not negotiate with us. Unless, we scare the fairy world!
However, this suggestion can be adopted in the later stage. After all, we have just arrived in the fairyland, and it is impossible to sweep all the enemies at once, and compromise is inevitable in the end. This can be considered later. "
Another businessman said: "Then can we show the prosperity of the Shang country to the fairy world, and try to win over the people at the bottom of the fairy world?"
This time it was Xie Yuhua who spoke, "What we are going to discuss now is the stage of the ascension of the whole country. Everyone checks for omissions and fills in the gaps. As for the things after the ascension, we will discuss it again later.
Do you have any suggestions for the affairs and arrangements for the national ascension? "
Yuan Zhao stood up at this time: "I think we should try to communicate with the fairy world. At least, we should also know how the fairy world is going!
The information we know now is all before the ascension of the Shang Kingdom; the situation may have changed now. "
"Change is inevitable!" Xie Yuhua responded, "But just like we don't know the fairy world, the fairy world doesn't know our situation here. No communication, it's two-way.
If we really start to communicate, I'm afraid the situation is not good for us. After all, the fairyland is a fairyland, and there will be many methods that we don't know.
And if we take the initiative to contact the fairy world, I'm afraid it will weaken our prestige.
All we have to do is show our crazy side from beginning to end, the only way to win us a chance. Otherwise, once the fairy world recognizes our bottom line, we will be very dangerous! "
"Then I have no problem." Yuan Zhao sat down.
The whole day of discussion like this was mainly to unify thoughts, and finally Li Xian issued an imperial decree to the whole country: For the sake of dreams, burn it! Along with the imperial decree, there is also information about conscription.
