The next day, Wei Minsheng summoned Xiaobao, Steward Wang, Wang Wushun, Li Yan and others to his courtyard and told them his intentions.

After hearing this, Li Yan said: "My lord, if you are ready to expand the influence of the mountain villa, with food and other resources, you can also gain a foothold in other cities. But when dealing with the princes and nobles of other countries, the name of Huaxia Villa felt that there was no deterrent.

I thought that in order to make it more convenient for us to go out, to avoid the idea of some forces to attack our villa at will, and to reduce some trouble, it is better to establish a country first. ”

"Founding a country?" Steward Wang said: "Lord Li, the thousands of people in our villa want to establish a country, is it a bit rushed?" ”

Li Yan said: "Steward, although our villa is currently small, with the two mountain gates of the villa, it is better than all the key passes of Xiongguan, plus those things placed on it by the lord, Li Yan does not know which country in this world has the ability to attack the villa."

There is no problem with the self-protection of the villa, so there is no worries, as long as the lord goes out and sacrifices the flying 'artifact' and 'divine fire', any country can be like no one, and it is very simple to stand up.

Moreover, our purpose in establishing a state is only to achieve an equal status in dialogue with other countries, and when dealing with some conflicts, the weight of the state is far more important than that of the mountain village, which is more conducive to the resolution of problems. ”

Wei Minsheng listened to Li Yan's proposal, and was also a little moved, mainly because Wei Minsheng felt that with the increase in the population of the villa, some problems would gradually become prominent, and if there was no corresponding department to deal with it, and all of them would be coordinated by themselves, it would not be annoying people to death.

Li Yan is right, although he has the ability to sweep thousands of armies, but others may not know, who would believe that a mountain villa has the strength to dare to argue with the national army, so it will be more convenient to use the identity of the country to deal with the problems between some countries, so as to avoid being looked down upon by others.

Moreover, with the identity of the country, the mountain villa will be more attractive to the population, and it will also be conducive to the expansion of the mountain villa's territory.

It's just that in this way, Wei Minsheng must choose a suitable political and economic system for this emerging country, and determine the future development direction of the country, which is the most basic thing of a country and will have a far-reaching impact on the country's development.

This political and economic system is equivalent to the foundation of a building, and only when the foundation is well laid can the building be built high. If the foundation is not laid, no matter how high the building is, there may be a risk of collapse, so you must be cautious.

Thinking of this, Wei Minsheng said to everyone: "Li Yan's words also have some truth, after the development of our villa this year, everyone's living standards have been greatly improved compared with before, but the population has always restricted the development of many of our work.

The paddy fields have not been reclaimed, which is not conducive to the cultivation of rice next year, the scale of wheat cultivation is too small, there are still many vacant facilities in pig farms, the number of chicken farms and black goats must be increased, and the scale of vegetable production must be further expanded, but there are not enough people to do these things.

There are almost no more sources of population within the scope of the village's current influence, and if it wants to develop further, it will inevitably intersect with Yiling County in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Badong County in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

In my planning, I am more inclined to develop to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and after entering Yiling County, it will intersect with Jingzhou.

Jingzhou has always been a place where the Three Kingdoms must fight, and it is indeed not appropriate to deal with some affairs with other countries in the name of a mountain villa, so it is necessary to establish a country.

I need to make a more detailed plan for the founding of the country, as well as the preparation of relevant materials, even if it is to carry out the founding ceremony, I must choose a suitable time and place, right? Therefore, this matter can only be postponed for a while.

According to the relevant information registered by Xiaobao, the current population of our mountain villa is only more than 5,000 people, and the establishment of a country is indeed a bit reluctant, so our top priority is to attract a large number of people in Yiling County and exchange food and other materials for gold, silver, jewelry or precious medicinal materials, so as to expand the influence of the mountain villa.

Only in this way can the lodge develop more rapidly. In order to ensure the smooth development of these works, I don't know what Li Yan has in mind. ”

Originally, Li Yan just wanted the name of a country, so that it would be convenient to go out and deal with officials at all levels in other countries, but if he really wanted to build the country, if nothing else, the establishment of various departments of the state apparatus would require a large number of personnel, and this could not be completed in a short period of time.

However, after listening to Wei Minsheng's words, Li Yan found that Wei Minsheng seemed to have taken this matter seriously, and even decided to make relevant preparations, which was somewhat unexpected by Li Yan.

Fortunately, Wei Minsheng was not carried away by the founding of the country, and quickly grasped the main problems that currently existed in the villa, and asked Li Yan to talk about how to go to Yiling to open up the situation.

Looking at Wei Minsheng's light and breezy appearance, Li Yan's heart was more sure of Wei Minsheng's extraordinary origin, you see, this is what a god should look like, such a big thing as the founding of the country, it is not said that it can be done or not, it just said that it is necessary to make a plan first, prepare materials, and find a suitable time and place, these don't seem to be important things.

Since the lord already has plans and arrangements, then he should do it according to the lord's arrangement, go to Yiling to open up the situation, as long as the villa and the lord are willing to be their own backing, it is not a big deal, but some situations must be explained clearly in advance, so that the lord has a psychological preparation, and then it is good to deal with some problems in time.

After thinking about it again, Li Yan said to Wei Minsheng: "My lord, the current defender of Nayiling County is Sun Huan, the nephew of King Wu, with more than 5,000 soldiers under his command, hundreds of warships, and soldiers who are brave and good at fighting, and they are the elite force of Wu to defend the northwest.

Yiling is also an important city of Wu located in the Yangtze River, there are nearly 50,000 ordinary people in the city, it is the gateway to the west, the north rejects Cao Wei, the west town of Shu, the strategic position is quite important, in order to avoid mixing into the spies of Wei and Shu, so the personnel in and out of Yiling County are checked quite strictly.

In this case, without Sun Huan's approval, it is impossible to open up the situation in Yiling.

Unless the lord can personally go into battle and use those 'divine objects' to deter, with the current situation of our mountain villa, we do not have the ability to compete with it.

What's more troublesome is that I know from Xiaobao that there are currently less than 1,000 official members of the villa, and the number of those peripheral members is also seriously insufficient. ”
