532. The Cao family's intentions

In the Chinese Studies Course of Qiushou Village, it is pointed out that the rise and fall of a country lies in its development direction and the values it creates!

And values will directly affect a country's comprehensive development and strength!

Since ancient times, many people have only seen the sword battles at the turn of dynasties, but no one has carefully studied more details of these periods! Why does a dynasty fall and why does it rise? It is often not the final battle between swords and soldiers that determines the rise and fall of a dynasty, but the long changes in details.

Military power is certainly an important symbol and backbone of a country's strength, but it is not the whole story!

A country's national atmosphere, culture, ideology, political environment, living environment, productive forces, and development space are all comprehensive qualities that measure a country's strength or weakness.

People often say: if you fall behind, you will be beaten!

Sometimes the backwardness of culture, ideas and values is even more fatal! Since ancient times, many powerful countries have been ruined because they closed off their borders. Resting on one's laurels is like water that is quiet and loses its vitality, and eventually it will inevitably become a stinky stagnant water!

Therefore, in the course of Chinese culture in Qiushou Village, these elements of measuring comprehensive national strength have been included in the key teaching materials, and more systematic analysis, accumulation and learning have been carried out!

And Xianyu even listed it as 'war resources and conditions'...

Once in a distant place there was a country called country M, which did not have its own cultural temperature, did not have its own history... It's just a slice of a mighty empire!

However, by absorbing the culture and talents of other countries in the world, it embraces all rivers! After more than 200 years, it became the strongest country in the world at that time, surpassing many countries with a long history and civilization in the world at that time!

The national atmosphere of freedom, equality, openness and integration has made it a place where many people yearn for life, and with the import of these new bloods, the greatness of this country has been achieved!

But then, the country abandoned these... It has become a country that only has its own eyes, arrogant and unreasonable! The national style has fallen, and as it loses the things that once made it strong! It began to go into decline... The world has also gone to an extreme because of its decline and the influence of some composite elements! Gradually set off the beginning of a new round of world hegemony...

And this example proves one thing: people's hearts are king!

And if you want to capture people's hearts, you must grasp people's values!

When a person is in the cold, a bowl of broth and a haven are what they want!

And what happens when a person has no worries about food and clothing? People's pursuits will continue to change with the change of the environment, and it is of course impossible to achieve all the expectations of everyone! Therefore, we need to continue to create, so that everyone has more choices to choose!

However, after analyzing the existing intelligence of the Liao State of the Fengyun Continent, the Cao family roughly grasped its production level and other comprehensive national strength!

To put it simply, Liao is still in the stage of natural production of watching the sky and eating. And because it is a coastal country to defend against the landing and harassment of sea beasts, it has caused this country to be heavy on military force and light on production...

Although under the rule of the Yelu family, the military and civilians of the Liao State did not have too many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes... But life is still generally poor. There are several main sources of income for them to support their families: the first is to rely on enlisting in the army to earn a salary that is neither high nor low to support their families! The second is to watch the sky and eat, and farm for the rich, nobles and royal families... The third is business!

If there is any natural or man-made disaster, you can only resign yourself to fate, because in Liao, whether it is a rich family, a nobleman, or a royal family, they are not very chic! They will also face layers of exploitation from the imperial powers, so they don't have much spare to help others!

However, because of such an environment, the people of Liao are relatively united! Moreover, there is a strong martial spirit, and he is not afraid of death in battle... Because the soldiers who died in the war will receive a prescribed settling-in allowance! No one dares to embezzle this money in Liao, and it will be sent to the families of the sacrificed soldiers! And the Liao royal family will also give additional rewards according to their performance in the sacrifice and peacetime... Therefore, the people of Liao are martial arts! If it weren't for the strong suppression of the empire, this country would have become a country of tigers and wolves!

As for now... It's a wolf cub at best! These are the Cao family's evaluations of the Liao State, of course, if it is not an empire, but the Great Wei Heavenly Dynasty! Then it's not a wolf cub, it's an ant! The national power of both sides is not at all on the same horizon ... However, these do not affect its value in the eyes of the Cao family!

Through the relationship of Lu Feng, the Cao family used its abundant capital and strong strength, both soft and hard, to open up the network of eyeliner arranged by the Liao State and the surrounding empires of the Liao State. Through their people's various means of deception and concealment, the arrival of Dawei was cleverly concealed!

And with the help and arrangement of the Liao State, the Great Wei also obtained an empty territory to garrison troops and accumulate strength...

At the same time, in order to 'thank' the Liao State for their great help, Great Wei provided them with some relatively low-end magic production and weapon equipment improvement technologies in the Barbarian Continent! Help them secretly cultivate talents and technicians in this area, and gradually improve the national strength of Liao and deepen the friendship between the two countries!

Of course, in addition to these more obvious actions, the Cao family also secretly transferred many cultural talents who are good at strategy and dealing with complex relationships! Let these people turn into people and fake their identity backgrounds to contact, infiltrate or buy the large and small forces and influential figures in Liao and its surroundings! Begin to compile your own intelligence network...

Then when the armed forces that Great Wei had accumulated and transported in the Fengyun Continent had considerable strength, Great Wei began to slowly show its fangs! From the original 'fat sheep' in the eyes of various forces, it has become a man-eating wolf!

Through various means and abundant capital and military support, those people scattered by the Great Wei gradually and secretly directly or indirectly mastered those forces that were not obedient, uncooperative, and had valuable use! Then, as Wei controlled and received more and more local support, Wei gradually had a strong voice and influence in several kingdoms in the Fengyun Continent!

But Wei didn't want to annex these kingdoms... Because according to the laws of the United Nations of the Savage Continent, once these countries become the flying lands of the Wei State! That also means that they have also joined the Savage Continent United Nations, and by then... That salted fish has an excuse to directly meddle in the management of these kingdoms in the Fengyun Continent!!

And the Cao family of the Great Wei is very self-aware, comparing the family background and the means of buying people's hearts... Da Wei is far from being the opponent of that salted fish! Just the basic treatment obtained by joining the United Nations is enough to make everyone in the Fengyun Continent crazy!

Therefore, after careful consideration, the Cao family of the Great Wei decided that they would support some countries and forces in the Fengyun Continent to become their 'allies', jointly overthrow the brutal imperial rule, and then work together to 'develop' in the Fengyun Continent!
