Chapter 649 The response to the strong wall and clear field
Gongsun Zhi led the army to advance continuously, but what surprised him was that there was still no resistance along the way. His army went directly into the enemy's territory for hundreds of miles without encountering any resistance.
There are traces of human city-states, but those are all areas that have been evacuated.
Gongsun Zhi did not continue to march, but settled down after advancing more than two hundred miles.
And without hesitation, he called his Yafu to come and answer his questions.
After praying silently and sincerely in his heart, Jiang Sibai appeared in front of Gongsun Zhi.
Gongsun Zhi did not tell him about his difficulties because he believed that with his father's wisdom, he would soon understand his difficulties.
Sure enough, the next moment, Jiang Sibai sighed: "This is a way to strengthen the wall and clear the country. I didn't expect those monsters to play this trick."
He said: "But so what, since they threw away this large piece of land, let us accept them happily."
Gongsun Zhi asked: "Yafu, but we don't have that many people to fill these lands."
"I would also feel uneasy if the people of the Zhou Dynasty were allowed to leave their homes and come here to cultivate land."
Hearing this, Jiang Sibai comforted him and said: "You have thought too much about my child. You don't need flesh and blood to fill the land. It just allows you to see the coordinated production of large farmers."
"Luo Yun's disciples will explore these lands and then cultivate the most suitable crops on the best land."
"And what you have to do is to prepare your great Zhou Dynasty to welcome the impact of the era of great material abundance."
"Don't be like a country bumpkin and be laughed at by me in front of this great era."
Gongsun Zhi asked in disbelief: "What kind of era was that?"
Jiang Sibai paused for a moment, then said: "No one will die of hunger. This is the most basic thing."
"Everyone can eat fresh fruit trees and meat if they want to."
"As long as they are willing to work hard, they can live and work in peace and contentment, and then pursue other things without worrying about food and clothing."
Gongsun Zhi paused for a moment and said, "Yafu, do you want to create a world where you don't have to worry about food and clothing?"
"Is there really such a world?"
"I'm afraid the 'universal world' of the ancient sages is just like this."
Jiang Sibai glanced at him angrily and said, "That's all you've got? This just provides the most basic food and clothing. How can the real 'World of Great Harmony' be so easy to reach?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Zhi lowered his head and thought about Jiang Sibai's words, just like he did when he was a child. Even now, he still feels that Jiang Sibai's words always contain profound meaning.
Then he raised his head and nodded and said: "Yes, in an era of material scarcity, being able to satisfy food and clothing is the greatest benevolence in the world. All the emperors before me have worked hard in this regard."
"But the coming era that Yafu described has already solved the problem of food and clothing for everyone. So what are the problems we have to face next?"
"When people don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, what they need most is clothes and food. But after they have enough to eat and warm clothes, they should..."
Jiang Sibai did not let him continue to think wildly, but reminded him lightly: "Do you still remember that sentence? A person who has a lot of resources knows etiquette, and a person who has enough food and clothing knows honor and disgrace."
"To understand this sentence from another angle, doesn't it mean that after people have enough food and clothing, they will know etiquette and honor and disgrace?"
Gongsun Zhi suddenly came to his senses and said, "I understand, this is enlightenment!"
"The next stage is enlightenment."
"But……"
Gongsun Zhi suddenly felt a shudder.
He looked at Jiang Sibai and asked: "But if all people are educated and everyone has their own thinking, then people's hearts will become even more unpredictable."
"Father, I suddenly feel a little scared. I'm afraid that I won't be able to grasp this world where people are in chaos."
Jiang Sibai couldn't help but sigh secretly after hearing this, feeling pleased with Gongsun Zhi's sensitivity.
Sure enough, compared to the dull guy at home, Gongsun Zhi who he brought up by himself is more popular.
He said: "Then do you have any solution?"
Gongsun Zhi sighed and said: "No, the child is not smart enough and has no idea how to deal with this situation."
"I think no matter what I do, there will always be a large group of people who feel bad about it, just like those aristocratic families."
"But now for the whole world, the aristocratic families are only a minority group after all."
"The scary thing is that if it were an era where everyone was educated, I would probably have to face countless people's opposition and comments."
Gongsun Zhi was really keen and had already thought of such a far-reaching place.
He thought about it again, and did not ask Jiang Sibai for the answer directly. Instead, he said, "Please give me some time, Yafu, so that I can think about this question carefully."
"It is what I must do to ensure that the people have enough food and clothing, and educating all sentient beings is also inevitable."
"So this is a problem that I will have to face in the future. Thanks to Yafu's reminder, I was able to realize this serious problem in advance."
Gongsun Zhi was wise and humble, and he was not the kind of person who gets something for nothing.
He likes to use his wisdom to solve problems.
Jiang Sibai was very satisfied with this approach, and then he brought the question to the forefront and said, "Tell me about what's going on now. How are you going to face this kind of trouble?"
Gongsun Zhi said: "It's very simple. If they strengthen the wall and clear the country, then I will advance step by step."
"I will build another city here as our bridgehead east of Ghost Pass."
Jiang Sibai immediately understood what he meant, so he said: "Okay, Luo Yun's disciples will cooperate with you. I believe that with their help, it will not take much time to build a city."
"But beyond that, you'd better be prepared to accept more people."
When Gongsun Zhi heard this, he quickly nodded and said, "Yes, since the other side has taken measures to strengthen the walls and clear the country, it is very likely that innocent people will be coerced into participating in the war."
"Don't worry, Yafu, I will handle this problem."
"But I still have too few managers."
He got a headache
If the big bosses in the military were allowed to manage these, I'm afraid there would be some big trouble.
Jiang Sibai smiled and said: "Yes, this kind of thing should be left to professionals."
"Just let your Wen Xiang come and solve this problem for you personally."
As soon as he finished speaking, he had quietly set up a large void delivery formation next to him.
And in this void projection formation, Wen Xiang's figure quickly walked out.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Wen Xiang looked at Gongsun Zhi with a smile, as if he were looking at his own child.
This is the person who really watched Gongsun Zhi grow up. His feelings towards Gongsun Zhi are not much different from those of his own son.
When Gongsun Zhi saw this, his eyes widened in surprise, then he smiled and said: "Wen Xiang, I miss you so much!"
"And Yafu, it has to be you!"
Looking at this fully mature void delivery formation, Gongsun Zhi looked extremely happy.
He immediately thought of his wife and children, and at the same time felt that Luodu, who was far away in the horizon, seemed to be very close at this moment.
He sincerely sighed: "Father, you have changed the world. This is really great."
Jiang Sibai smiled and said nothing. If he didn't change the world, how could he live up to the expectations placed on him?
