When a man is serious about doing things, he is also very charming, and when he is free and heroic, he is also charming, and when a man swallows the world, when he scolds Fang Xuan, points out the country, and exalts words, this kind of charm can make others extremely moved.

Qi Lin nodded, and Zyra took out a map.

Map of the world realm of the Valoran continent.

Bam stood behind Ash and quietly looked at the map spread on the ground, showing a picture of the world and the beautiful world.

Qi Lin then clapped his hands first, and Eshibam raised his head, waiting earnestly for the next step.

Qi Lin stood with his hands in his hands and paced leisurely.

"Empress Ash, first of all, I want to ask you the first question, how did religion come about, in your opinion? In other words, for what will be born, and for what the people will need, will believe. ”

Ice Empress Ash and Bam both frowned slightly, and after a while, Ash said unhurriedly: "Religion is those who have some skills to play tricks and brainwash the people, in order to achieve their own goals, or in other words, to change others, so that others become the same people as themselves, that is, those smart people make them." ”

Qi Lin shook his head and sighed slightly, "It seems that you still haven't seen the essence. ”

"Existence is reasonable, in this world, everything is born, developed and destroyed, it follows certain laws, and religion itself is a thing built on the surface of the audience, and it has its own unique truth."

Empress Ice suddenly came to her senses and came back to her senses, "Lord Regent, I understand what you mean, you are saying that it is not religion that rules the spirit of the people, but that the people need a religion to rule them, that is to say, it is the people's own will that has contributed to the birth of religion." ”

Qi Lin nodded.

Ice Empress Ash smiled wryly, "I've thought about this before, but I don't think it's necessary to figure it out, because the religion led by Lisandro has already taken root, and the top priority should be how to solve this hidden danger perfectly." ”

Qi Lin sighed slightly in his heart, "In the end, it is a backward northern extremely cold land, even if the technique is backward, the empress's thinking mode cannot be jumped out, in the end, it is a common problem of people under the feudal system." ”

"No, no, no, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent is the only way to win a hundred battles, you don't even understand the reason, but you only think about how to fight for power and profit from the surface, this will not work."

Qi Lin then continued to speak loudly.

"The birth of religion has something to do with those leaders, but it is more because of the people, the believers who believe in them, why do they believe in religion? Because they are human beings, ordinary people, human beings are born with the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, and in the process of growing up from a child, people will be hungry, tired, sick, tired, and most importantly, people will be insecure. ”

"For example, why do you have women who worship money in the material age or the spiritual age, not because they really worship money, nor because they are realistic, women are powerful, men are realistic, they worship money because they have no sense of security."

"A sense of security is such a thing that can be said and cannot be touched, people need money, they need houses, they need cars, they need force, to make them feel safe, but it's not that I talk too much, Your Majesty, although there are elite soldiers and strong generals in the north, but in the final analysis, the people who live here are very poor, they are very bitter, there is no entertainment, and there is no culture, so people need a sense of security."

"The northern kingdom has not experienced war for so many years, so people don't have to worry about the hardships of war, they are grateful to the northern country, to the ice legion, to the empress and many soldiers, to give them a sense of security, but over time, what about life? In life, who gives them a sense of security, obviously, for so many years, the economy of the northern country has been like this, people live a more primitive life, have money, in addition to eating fish or meat, there is no money, eat protein blocks that have no taste. (Protein blocks, seen in the "Return" episode, are compressed food made from cockroach carcasses.) ）”

Qi Lin was right, Empress Ash couldn't refute anything at the moment.

"Empress Ash, you think, there has been no war for a hundred years, people have long been used to it, in fact, if you want me to say, there is no longer so much dependence and sense of belonging to the army, but because of the domineering style of the army, under the feudal power, people must have already had a lot of dissatisfaction."

"The state can't let them live a rich life, a colorful life, can't give them a good culture and education, can't give them a higher status they can fight for, so people need a sense of security."

"The northern kingdom with slightly lower people's intelligence is naturally easy to be bewitched by religion, and religion is softer than power, because they will say that you will go to heaven after death, everyone is a son of God, and they will fool people, God bless people, they coax people instead of ruling people, and then give some benefits, so it has caused today's situation, the confrontation between divine power and imperial power!"

Empress Ash suddenly exhaled deeply.

"It's not your fault, it's the fault of the kings of the northern kingdom for a hundred years, the fault of this land." Qi Lin hurriedly said slowly.

"Lord Regent, then according to you, how to solve my first trouble." Empress Ash could no longer hide her inner anxiety about the problem with a calm look.

Qi Lin turned around and looked at the ice statues outside the main hall.

"You have figured it out, you are a smart person, you know how to do it."

Ice Empress Ash thought for a moment, "I understand, the people have no sense of security, what I need to do is not to fight religion, nor to fight for power, but to give the people a sense of security, so that they know that the government is reliable and dependable, they don't need religion anymore, the people's wisdom is opened, there will be no problem, and religion itself cannot shake them." ”

"Yes." Qi Lin turned his back to everyone, turned his head and squinted, and smiled slightly.

"What you need next is not to raise troops every day and not need to go, but how to find a way to build the north, the country's economy is very important, first do a good job of the economic foundation, then the first trouble does not need you a headache, you don't need to negotiate with Lisandro, you don't need any force, you can solve it."

The Ice Empress frowned slightly, "But the Northern State has the Iron Ridge Mountain Range as a moat and is isolated from the outside world, it is really difficult to communicate with the outside world, transportation is also a problem, engaging in the economy, this really gives me a headache, the things in the outside world are measured by price, the northern country has spent too much money on the army, and there is really not much money to engage in the national economy." ”

"Don't worry, no one can eat into a big fat man, no, if you want me to say this, your first trouble, if you want to solve it perfectly and gently, according to the current situation, at least twenty years, at most forty years, the northern country is really too closed, too backward and ignorant."

"However, it is better to be able to solve it than not to be able to solve it, and it takes a little time to do better than a hundred years later, the divine power is still strong, and it is even close to the imperial power."

Ice Empress Ash sighed, "It's all because I'm too short-sighted and haven't gone to the outside world to take a look around, wouldn't it be better if I had understood earlier." ”

"In fact, the first trouble, if I were to do it, would only take five years, and five years would be able to completely solve this problem."

Ash and Bam were both breathless, and their eyes lit up.

Qi Lin walked a few steps, turned around, and looked at Ash with a slight smile, full of incomparable charm, "Empress Ash, do you want a conspiracy or a conspiracy?" ”
