Don't be surprised, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court.

Go and stay unintentionally, wandering with the clouds outside the sky.

On the top of the mountain, surrounded by white clouds, an old man with white hair sat on a stone bench, with a tail of piano in front of him, and the cry of cranes came from time to time in the depths of the clouds.

If outsiders accidentally see this scene and hear the sound of the piano that goes straight to the depths of their hearts, they will probably sigh with emotion, this is a fairy-like day. Carefree, carefree, playing the piano in your spare time, entertaining yourself, and having boundless happiness.

If people live here all the time, they will tell you that if you do this, you will get rheumatism, and you will be very uncomfortable when you are old, and you will be sick all over your body.

And for a person like Lü Buwei, who has advanced cultivation, this is just a means to pass the time in his spare time.

As soon as his nose moved, Lu Buwei opened his eyes and looked behind him, where there was a dead fat man holding a crane in his hand and roasting it.

Looking at Lu Buwei who turned around, Yun Ye also hummed at him, and then accelerated the movement of his hand, twisted slightly, and the immortal crane who was about to swallow his breath and was still struggling completely died.

"Hehe, don't be angry, old man, let me tell you, I haven't been in love with you for a day or two, since I learned from Brother Tianxiao Yao in Huashan Cave that the crane here is the best in the world, I have moved this thought. ”

"Oh?" Lu Buwei said lightly, as if he was not angry.

"Don't you know, I came here quietly once five hundred years ago, but I wasn't sure that I would capture these cranes without leaving any traces. ”

"Three hundred years ago, I came again, that time I only caught one, these cranes are worthy of your careful cultivation sir, that time I didn't taste it before I finished eating, in my opinion, it is not much worse than what His Majesty raised in Shanglin Garden. ”

"Well, that's what you were the thief from three hundred years ago?"

"yes, yes, it's a pity that you became alert and never had a chance. But fortunately, this time it was you who invited me to come here, so as a guest, I roasted a few birds to eat, which is not a big deal. ”

Speaking of this, Yun Ye suddenly raised his head???

What's wrong with me?

How did I suddenly say what was really in my heart?

Keep your head down, head down.

I didn't say anything, I didn't know anything.

"Haha, these cranes are not simple, the one you just ate was cultivated by me with the essence blood of the Four Seas Dragon Clan. It looks like it's just an immortal crane, but the essence content in the body is equivalent to the accumulation of thousands of years of regular true immortal penance. That's why you think it's delicious, Yun boy, do you want to eat more?"

At this moment, Yun Ye didn't know where he had planted.

But he is just a mathematician, and there is no need for an idle high-level like Lü Buwei to calculate himself?

What's more, he has a lot of friends, and he is even more like a brother to Han Feizi, and he is not afraid of his calculations, after thinking clearly, Yun Ye nodded affirmatively.

"As an old man, it's okay to call you a cloud boy, right?"

"No problem, sir, please. As long as he doesn't violate the Qin Law, Yun Ye will not frown even if he goes up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire. Yun Ye patted his chest and said affirmatively.

Isn't it just a mountain of swords and a sea of fire?

Don't be afraid!

I'm really not afraid!

"This year is already the 2,900th anniversary of the First Emperor, and the empire has gone through many different stages of development. ”

"At the beginning, refining oneself and building a foundation could become a soldier, and at that time, the empire had not even unified the world, and it was a toddler and babbling baby. ”

"At that time, what the empire needed was materials and resources, gold, silver, copper, iron and other metal minerals were needed by the empire, martial arts cheats, and the empire of refining gods, and even land and population were what the empire needed the most at that time. ”

"Yes, that's when I joined the Empire. What the old gentleman said is what I have personally experienced, and it is thanks to the empire, otherwise, I may only be a common person in the yellow-level world in my life, even if I am a traverser, what can I do?"

To tell the truth, Yun Ye still admires the empire.

If it weren't for Ying Zheng's broad-mindedness and heartfelt acceptance of all traversers who were willing to abide by the Qin Law, he would really not be able to mix with today's position, and he would not have the strength he has today.

It can even be said that the more Yun Ye progresses, the more grateful he is to the empire now.

Later, when the empire developed further, it set its sights on one world after another, and at that time, for the empire, population and land were no longer the most important factors, but the world itself was the most important. ”

"Yes, there is such a stage, at that time it was probably after the first year of the First Emperor, the empire was crazy to pursue all other worlds, in order to make up for the deficit of the main world, so that the main world can be restored to the grade of the year, this stage is the end of the day His Majesty joined the heavenly court and became the emperor of the water officials. ”

"At that time, on the one hand, His Majesty joined the Heavenly Court, and was restricted by the rules of the Heavens, so he could not directly attack other earth-level worlds, and on the other hand, the promotion of the earth-level world, civilization itself was far more important than all kinds of materials and resources. ”

Heaven!

Heaven!

Thinking of the influence of Heavenly Court on Great Qin itself, Lu Buwei was silent for a moment, and Yun Ye was silent after thinking about it.

Heavenly Court is too powerful, far from being comparable to Great Qin at this moment.

Many of the local talents of Great Qin, after seeing the vastness of Heavenly Court, stayed in the Taishang World, which was very uncomfortable.

"From the time Your Majesty became the Emperor of the Water Officials, it can be regarded as the third stage, and this stage of the empire is like a lump of cotton that has been thirsty for a long time, frantically absorbing advanced knowledge from the heavenly court. ”

"Heavenly Court's accumulation over the years, the experience and knowledge of one calamity after another, have been absorbed and transformed by various departments of the empire with all their might, and they have been localized, digesting them while ensuring the characteristics of Great Qin. ”

"It is precisely because of this that for more than two thousand years, the empire has been able to progress at a relatively fast pace, and its national strength has increased by at least two percent each year compared with the previous year!"

Speaking of this, Lü Buwei stretched out his two fingers in the middle of the index and gestured with a two.

For more than 2,000 years in a row, the annual growth of national strength has been more than 20 percent.

This is news that can make people envy to death, and if the economists of the 21st world know about it, they may go crazy directly.

"However, after so many years, the knowledge that is easy to absorb and digest is almost finished being digested by the Empire. The rest of the knowledge, of course, is useful and precious, but it also takes longer to digest it. ”

"The most direct consequence is that since a hundred years ago, the growth rate of the empire's national strength has fallen from 20% to 10%, and last year, it was only 10.1%, and it is almost falling below 10%. ”

With that, Lü Buwei took his middle finger back, leaving only one index finger.

"This is actually good news, doesn't it mean that the gap between the Empire and Heavenly Court is no longer as big as it was at the beginning. As for the growth and change of national strength, there is actually no good way. Yun Ye shrugged his shoulders, grabbed it with his right hand, and three more cranes fell into his hands, pinched and twisted lightly, and arranged it!

The reason why the empire was able to progress so fast before was that the gap between the empire itself and Heavenly Court was too large, and Heavenly Court took out a little thing casually and put it here in the empire It was a more advanced good thing.

However, the dividends will disappear one day, which is inevitable. For this point, any person with lofty ideals has expected it, but the difference is that some people think that the end time of the dividend is 10,000 years of the first emperor, while some people think that this time point should be 30,000 years of the first emperor, but what they never expected is that this is only the first emperor for 3,000 years, and the dividend is obviously not good.

But just like Yun Ye said, this in itself is good news!

When the generation gap between each other is more than two generations, it is the time for rapid development and progress, but if the gap between each other in various technologies is only one generation, and even when the empire is more advanced in some aspects, it will still make a hammer?

"yes, that's good news. Speaking of this, Lu Buwei snatched a crane leg from Yun Ye's hand in front of Yun Ye......

Yun Ye: It's too hard for me!

"So the old man thinks, it's time to enter a new era! The empire also needs to change its direction and think differently, otherwise if it continues like this, even if the empire succeeds, it will only be a second heavenly court. Maybe you don't even have to do the second Heavenly Court, you can only be the second Ziwei Emperor, and Your Majesty can only be the second Heavenly Court Yajun. ”

What the empire needs to do is never the second Heavenly Court, but the first Great Qin!

From this moment on, it is time to go out of the way of the empire itself.

This is Lü Buwei's belief!

It is also the idea of a considerable number of Great Qin people!

Before you know it, the empire is facing another fork in the road.

The first path is to imitate the Heavenly Court, go down slowly, and the ultimate form is to become the second Heavenly Court.

However, Heavenly Court is the product of the manifestation of the Dao Fruit of the Great Heavenly Venerable, could it be that Great Qin should be like this?

Few people who have the ability will be willing to do so.

Then there is only a second way left, but how to go on the second way?

Bai Qi said, I don't know, but the old man dares to swing his sword at any enemy who stands in the way of the empire, whether he is a human or a ghost, an immortal or a god!

Shang Ying said that it is necessary to establish an immortal civilization with the characteristics of Great Qin.

But how do you build it?

Refer to Heavenly Court.

What if you don't refer to Heavenly Court?

I don't know.

Crossing the river by feeling the stones, that's it. It takes courage to step out with one foot, but who can guarantee that you will reap good results after stepping on this foot?

In the old man's opinion, some departments of the empire are now a little out of place. If it should be canceled, it must be canceled, and if it should be rebuilt, it must be rebuilt. ”

Hearing this, Yun Ye lowered his head and remained silent, continuing to eat the crane, if he finished eating, he would catch one, as for Lu Buwei's words, he did not comment.

He doesn't want to deal with these political people, you don't know when, he will become their pawn, and he hates it.

"Pure conquest is too inefficient and too low. The void is vast and boundless, but the lifespan of a yellow-level world is often only a thousand or thousands of years, and the lifespan of a Xuan-level world is often only between 10,000 and tens of thousands of years. Prefecture-level worlds can be based on Yuanhui, and each prefecture-level world is unique. ”

"The void is so vast, in the endless void, the time that the yellow-level world exists is so short. Even if these yellow-level worlds die, they will be reborn again. However, the yellow-level world only has a maximum of nine cycles, and after nine times, it will either be promoted to the Xuan-level world, or it will be swallowed by the void and completely turned into nothingness. ”

"This also means that if there is no external force, if there is no strong and continuous investment, the vast majority of yellow-level worlds will perish after nine cycles. ”

But what's the use of the yellow-level world?

A separate yellow-level world has no effect on the current empire!

"In the first year of the First Emperor, the empire's conquest of a yellow-level world may require hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of Qin officials to invest for decades. In the hundred years of the First Emperor, the empire conquered a yellow-level world, and it took thousands of innate beings and hundreds of grandmasters. For the first thousand years of the First Emperor, the empire conquered a yellow-level world, and it only took a small team of imperial soldiers plus decades and hundreds of years to conquer a yellow-level world. ”

"By this year, any soldier can conquer a yellow-level world if he can contact the empire itself, but what about the cost?"

Hearing this, Yun Ye counted without raising his head: "Now every soldier is the best warrior under heaven and man, their cultivation cost is extremely high, they have been breathing the aura of heaven and earth since they were born, and they use the medicinal bath formula produced by the Imperial Laboratory to polish their bodies. The value of these formulas is higher than that of a yellow-level world!"

"When refining skills, the soul enters the Nine Heavens, and in the big arena, they can compete with Xiang Yu and Lu Bu of the same level, although it is Ying Ziqi who controls Brother Yu, but for the vast majority of soldiers, there is no difference. The cost of this technology is higher than that of a mysterious-level world. ”

"It seems that it is easier to conquer the yellow-level world, but it is actually a loss. Speaking of this, Yun Ye continued to open his mouth and gnaw on the crane, as if only roasting the crane could alleviate his resentment at the moment.

Loss

Loss

Loss!

deficit

deficit

Deficit!

Obviously, it is easier to conquer the yellow-level world, but as long as you send soldiers, you will lose money, and if you send soldiers out, only when the target is the Xuan-level world, can you not lose money, and you can make a small profit.

And if you take into account the problem of occupying the target world, and the continuous investment after that, it will be a big loss.

"Simply conquering the world and transforming the world can only obtain material gains, and it has been proved that this road is too inefficient and is no longer suitable for further walking. ”

With so much effort, wouldn't it be good to study the Void Qi materialization technology?

The Void Qi is almost omnipotent, and can create the world, so can it be directly transformed into the aura of heaven and earth, can it be transformed into a star? Can it be transformed into some man-made giant beasts, or even heavenly treasures, divine weapons?

With the same amount of energy, the gains from the latter are definitely greater than the former.

In short, the times have changed again!

"In the new era, we must use new vision, and we must also have a new code of conduct!"
