After walking around outside, Liu Yu came into contact with a lot of talented people. There were children from aristocratic families and some from poor families. But all the scholars who could be selected and sent here actually had two skills.
Moreover, birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together. People with abilities and common opinions tend to cluster together after such a long period of acquaintance, making them easier to find. Through Zhang Wenyan, Liu Yu got to know many very talented people.
Children from poor families, although these people are not as articulate as children from aristocratic families, they have their own opinions and understandings, and they are all good talents.
After a tiring day, Liu Yu hurried back to the palace. After a while, Guo Jia entered the palace. The others were busy with the imperial examination matters in a few days, but they were too busy to touch the ground. Only Guo Jia,
He ignored it, as if it was none of his business.
As soon as he came in, Guo Jia joked and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty went on a tour incognito today and went to see those scholars. I wonder what the harvest will be like today and whether there is any talent among these people."
"There are a lot of materials that can be made, but there are also a lot of problems." Liu Yu sighed slightly, and then looked at Guo Jia: "You have never cared about these things, why did you come here to ask these things this time?"
"Alas!" Guo Jia shook his head slightly and sighed helplessly, "There are so many things going on in the Ming Dynasty these days, and everyone else is busy with the imperial examination. Then I can only handle the remaining things. I just want to be idle.
I can’t take any time off. I’m dealing with those people these days, but I have a terrible headache.”
"Oh!" Liu Yu looked over in surprise and said in disbelief, "What can give you, Mr. Guo Jiaguo, a headache?"
"Your Majesty," Guo Jia put away the smile on his face and said seriously, "These days, after the Ming Dynasty stabilizes, it faces one. No, there are two problems that need to be solved. Our Ming Dynasty has already delayed these problems.
It's been long enough, it's time to resolve it."
"Problem, what problem?" Liu Yu dragged her chin and thought for a long time. "The problem of official shortage will be solved soon. Those aristocratic families will not be able to get up for a while. What other problems does the Ming Dynasty have?"
"Your Majesty, it is a major event for our Ming Dynasty to be upgraded to a dynasty." Having said this, Guo Jia immediately came up and said, "Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty occupies such a large land and has such strong strength. If it is not upgraded to a dynasty, it will be somewhat famous.
It is unjust and unreasonable. This matter cannot be delayed, otherwise not only will the surrounding countries be dissatisfied, but it may even attract the dissatisfaction of the Yan Dynasty."
Liu Yu also nodded, and this matter should indeed be put on the agenda. For the kingdom to be promoted to a dynasty, in addition to being strong enough to survive the resistance from all parties, it also needs to be recognized by the Yan Dynasty, otherwise, it will be
The name is unfair and the words are inappropriate.
"In addition, there is another matter that needs to be handled by Your Majesty." Guo Jia hesitated for a moment and then said, "Your Majesty, a large number of sect envoys have come recently to negotiate with our Ming Kingdom."
"Zong, what are they here for?" Liu Yu's thoughts quickly changed. Except for the Scarlet Flame Sect, he had not offended anyone. Liu Yu really didn't know how he offended other sects. The attempts of these sects were really shocking.
Liu Yu was a little confused. "Why are these sect envoys here? What are their intentions? Do they want to take advantage of the situation to rob them, or..."
"Hey, where are you thinking, Your Majesty?" Seeing Liu Yu's serious look, Guo Jia chuckled and said, "These sects want to cooperate with our Ming Dynasty and become the sects that control the country."
"Be the sect that controls the country in our Ming Dynasty?" Liu Yu felt relieved, as long as he didn't come to seek revenge. Then he said with some disdain, "The situation in the Ming Dynasty was unclear before, and these sects did not come together.
, now that the Ming Kingdom is stable, they can't help but rush forward. How can there be so many good things in this world. Besides, our Ming Kingdom doesn't need the support of these sects!"
"Your Majesty, in fact, these sects have already arrived one after another after we annexed more than a dozen countries." Guo Jia raised his head and glanced at Liu Yu. Seeing that Liu Yu's face was calm, he continued, "After your Majesty arrived, he was busy with various tasks."
It was a matter of great importance, so I didn’t have time to tell His Majesty.”
"That's it!" Liu Yu nodded, and most of the dissatisfaction in his heart was gone. "That's not necessary. With the strength of our Ming Kingdom, we don't need the support of these sects!"
"Your Majesty, that's not what you said." Seeing Liu Yu's disdain for these sects, Guo Jia hurriedly advised, "Your Majesty, after these sects are rejected, they may be dissatisfied, and they will always make small moves. Moreover,
If we do not have the support of sects in the Ming Dynasty, other sects will inevitably insert their influence in the Ming Dynasty, and I am afraid it will not be beautiful at that time.
"Besides, if the Ming Kingdom shows enough strength to withstand the various sects, in that case, I am afraid that it will be jealous of the Yan Dynasty." Then, Guo Jiachong said to Liu Yu, "Why don't we, the Ming Kingdom, find a sect that can at least
On the surface, we can withstand the pressure of various ministries. In this way, our Ming Dynasty can also develop with peace of mind."
In the mainland of China, there are countless strong people, and there are even more sects. There are almost unpopular sects all over the place, but there are also many sects that are popular. The top sects only have the three recognized forces of Wuji Pavilion, Tianji Sect, and Tianmo Palace.
But those first-, second-, and third-level sects are a lot more. The national-preserving sects in the country are only a small but top-notch part of them.
As a sect, daily expenses for disciples, distributing elixirs, and rewarding various magic weapons all cost money. Generally, sects have to do their own work to have enough food and clothing, but then they have to start their own business to make money to support a large family. Like assassination by a dark owl.
.Feiyu Pavilion engages in intelligence and so on.
Compared to them, who are suffering, the Zhenguo sect is much happier. Its own business can remain unchanged, and correspondingly, its business in the country will also grow rapidly, and its income will greatly increase.
Not only does the dynasty contribute 20% to 30% of the national treasury every year, but even the aristocratic families in the country pay part of it to the sect every year for various matters. What kind of magic weapon, special mineral veins, etc. have been discovered within the country?
The sect has the right of priority. Therefore, under normal circumstances, which sect is competing to become the sect that controls the country.
Seeing that Liu Yu was still hesitant, Guo Jia immediately said, "Since you are looking for a sect, then find someone who is obedient. If your majesty is not at ease, then control their senior officials and let this sect be completely used by our Ming Dynasty."
"Well!" Guo Jia's suggestion made Liu Yu's heart move. He had the secret books produced by the system, and it would be a good suggestion to use them to control the top leaders of the sect. "Well, you can learn from these sects."
Among them, choose a sect with sufficient strength, at least it cannot be weaker than the Scarlet Flame Sect."
"This is not easy to handle. After all, the Scarlet Flame Sect has been a sect that controls the country for a long time, and its strength was extraordinary. After these years of development, its strength is even stronger." After all, the Scarlet Yan Sect is an old sect. It fought for the Daling Dynasty back then.
When the sects were suppressing the country, these sects were no match for them. Now most of the sects are thrown out several blocks away.
The one who can stand out among thousands of troops and numerous sects. The strength and power within that sect should not be underestimated. Generally, it is considered to be the best among the sects of the corresponding level. The Red Flame Sect was able to surpass all other sects in the past.
To become the ruling sect of the Daling Dynasty, there are two things to do.
If you want to completely surpass the Red Flame Sect, it is difficult to find a sect in Youzhou. In the bitter cold land of Youzhou, there is a gap between the strength and resources of the Central Plains, and the level of the sect is even more than a tier behind them.
There are even many first-level sects in Youzhou, but they are not as strong as the second-level sects in Zhongzhou.
Ordinarily, with the strength of the Ming Kingdom, it is possible to find a first-level sect. However, after becoming a first-level sect, even if the strength is again high, they will not lower their status and become a dynasty-controlled sect. This is a
Identity and face issues.
"Oh, that's it!" Covering his head, Liu Yu thought for a while, "The weakness of strength is weakness. Anyway, it is easier to control if it is weaker. Then try to find a good sect. The strength cannot be too weak, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the various ministries.
pressure.”
When Liu Yu said this, Guo Jia immediately agreed, "I know this. Although the strength of the sects coming here is uneven, there are still some sects with better strength. Your Majesty can rest assured about this, and I guarantee your satisfaction."
"That's not right." Liu Yu reacted immediately and looked at Guo Jia with doubtful eyes. "Guo Jia, you didn't say anything about the sect's coming to envoy such a big thing before. Now come here and tell me, are you right about this?"
....."
Guo Jia lowered his head in embarrassment and whispered, "Your Majesty is aware that I have indeed found a suitable sect, and I came here to ask for your instructions."
"You!" He pointed at Guo Jia and said helplessly, "You have already chosen, let's see which sect is right?"
