Without hesitation, the overlord said, "According to the calculation of the eighteenth year of unification seven years ago, it should be eight hundred and seventy-six thousand four hundred households, six million eight hundred and eighty-nine thousand four hundred and twenty-one. Zhang Shaoying asked: "How many people should there be in the Great Song Dynasty today?" The overlord said: "According to the four years of Jingde, 7,26,107 households, plus those who have not yet entered the household, at least 7.5 million households, about 39 million people. Zhang Shaoying said: "I believe that Your Excellency has already gained. The overlord smiled slightly: "Please advise." Zhang Shaoying asked, "Have you ever seen a war?" The overlord sighed: "I have been watching for more than 30 years." Zhang Shaoying was stunned and asked, "Then how do you understand war?" The overlord said: "War is a means and a kind of self-preservation, but all this requires ambition, ambition to swallow mountains and rivers. Look at the horseback riders in the north and us walking in the south, since the pre-Qin period, the Han people have been fighting with the nomadic tribes for nearly 1,300 years, and the inevitable result of this is that after a hundred years, or a thousand years later, the north will occupy the south, and our south lives in a self-absorbed civilization, disdainful of conquering other countries, which is a big joke. Why did the Zhuzong sneak into Yanjing during the Lanzhou Covenant? Isn't it precisely for this reason? They keep talking about the Han people, but they don't know that the two characters of the Han people were obtained by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty by opening up thousands of miles, and only I am proud of China's magnificent scenery. Look at the national strength of the Han Dynasty, and then look at our national strength, between the Khitan and the Song Dynasty is just an increase in internal strength, in fact, there is not much difference, this is the general trend of the world. Why did the Khitans suddenly go south, instead of attacking the city, but drove straight in, they also had their own internal problems, which led to peace. ”

Zhang Shaoying responded: "Isn't it good to make peace? If you have to fight, or pour out the strength of the country, how many people will have to die?" The overlord smiled slightly and said: "Benevolence and righteousness are more important than survival in your eyes?" Zhang Shaoying shook his head and sighed: "There is no perfection in the world. To ignore reality is to deceive oneself. The Overlord smiled slightly, and he always spoke in a very flat tone, without a trace of emotion. After a pause, the overlord said: "There is no perfection in the world, you also understand, survival is more important than benevolence and righteousness, and you also understand. The truth is the most just. But people's hearts are unjust, you know. Depose the hundred schools, respect Confucianism, advocate the world, and unify thoughts, you also understand. There is time, there is strength, the national strength is stable, and everything is ready. What is owed is an enlightened monarch, Zhao Kuangyin, only he has such courage. Zhang Shaoying asked puzzledly: "Have you seen him?" The overlord nodded and said: "Forty-six years ago, I was his bodyguard and took care of him for a while. Zhang Shaoying couldn't help but ask: "What kind of person is he?" The overlord smiled: "A king who is not detached from reality, but is sacred, the world has not falsely rumored him." Zhang Shaoying sighed: "This is a joke of history! In the face of a country, decades of time are obviously not enough." The overlord shook his head and said: "It took Liu Bang seven years to change from a cloth cloth to the founding king. Why does he have enough time? What does it mean? It is the means, swallowing mountains and rivers. Strategizing means. Zhang Shaoying looked at the overlord and sighed: "Your time is obviously not enough. The overlord shook his head and asked, "What did Qin Shi Huang rely on to unify China?" Zhang Shaoying had read Sima Qian's historical records, which Ji Lingshuang had specially explained, and said at the moment: "It is the foundation of generations of monarchs who have been striving for self-improvement and striving to pass it on." The overlord asked, "Then do you think there is such a foundation today?" Zhang Shaoying responded: "Yes." But not practically. The overlord asked, "How can you see it?" Zhang Shaoying sighed: "The imperial court's finances are tight, and war is not cost-effective. The overlord shook his head and said: "This is a matter of system centralization, not practical, the emperor is incompetent." Zhang Shaoying didn't speak, and the so-called emperor was just an ordinary person. Emperor Yelu, Zhao Hengmo is not like this, he is even thinking, if it is Ji Yuan, Overlord, or Leng Yueji, Chen Tanqiu, what kind of scene should it be?

Zhang Shaoying said quietly: "I used to hate this country, but now I have a heart of love for this country. Because it is always more worthwhile to support him than to oppose him, this is the Han world. The overlord smiled: "This is the ridiculous part, you have the ability, the wealth, and the power, but you don't want to be the emperor, and you are a vampire who is at ease and eats the world." Since Qin Shi Huang unified China, unification of the country and unification of the idea are inseparable, like you, there are only two results, one is to be eliminated, the other is to be conquered. Therefore, in the face of the pressure of the imperial court, you have streamlined your manpower and shrunk your financial resources, and now you are attacking the copper coins, and the bronze tun of that statue is buried in the ground, and it is still the common people who suffer. Zhang Shaoying asked, "Then can you solve this problem?" The overlord replied: "It will take time, maybe fifty years, maybe a hundred years, so this needs a belief to pass on." Zhang Shaoying said in a deep voice: "We can gamble, you will disappear in a hundred years." The overlord couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed: "You are still young, it is not unusual to live for one or two hundred years by relying on the means of the Zongheng faction, I am old and useless." In life, you have eaten enough, you have played enough, women, you have slept enough, and in the end you end up with an empty shell, life, you can't perfect it. Zhang Shaoying said: "It is precisely because the dynasty and the military cannot be settled once and for all, and each dynasty can last for three hundred years, and the same is true for all the sects, today the power is overwhelming, tomorrow is likely to be squeezed out of the seven martial arts sects, for self-preservation, for long-term stability, there is actually no difference between the court and the military." It's just that one thinks heals orthodoxy and the other doesn't recognize orthodoxy that will cause such an unhealable mustard. Chivalry is the barrier to our survival, all the people need is an acre of thin land, a place to live, and the key points of tax payment are OK, as long as they can live in peace, simple and true. Therefore, the sects can't be opposed, otherwise where is the way out?" The overlord smiled leisurely: "The retreat is a kind of caution, a kind of hesitation, and a kind of luck, so I never leave myself a way back." Your words and deeds are very appreciative to me, which is really rare at your age, so I can be merciful, except for those pharmacists, I will return everyone to you, but I will keep their weapons, no problem, right?" Zhang Shaoying was stunned, not knowing the meaning of the overlord's words. Although this is a humiliation for the captured disciples, as long as the person is safe, Zhang Shaoying can accept it, that is, he said: "Yes." The Overlord seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and sighed: "You have won again, if you don't agree just now, then my decision is to kill all the remaining people." Zhang Shaoying's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but secretly inhale the cold air, this sentence was a pun, and it gave him the feeling that this person was really terrible.

Zhang Shaoying smiled faintly, did not respond, and said: "Friends and enemies are only in a thought, are you enemies?" The overlord took a sip of tea and responded: "Maybe it is, maybe it doesn't, it depends on the will of God." Zhang Shaoying asked rhetorically: "Do you believe in heaven?" The overlord shook his head and said: "I only believe in him when I need heaven, you can ask Dong Zhongshu this question." Zhang Shaoying laughed and said, "It seems that we can play the next game." The overlord looked at him, shook his head and said: "That's it, I know Ji Lingshuang's chess move, I want to win you, it's very difficult, I'm old." Zhang Shaoying said: "You brought me here all the way, it's not so simple to reminisce about the old, right?" The overlord seemed to be very sensitive to the word "reminiscence", and said with a smile: "My reasons are the same as yours." Zhang Shaoying said: "But you have to set an example, otherwise how can you show sincerity? The overlord said: "It's very simple, but I don't necessarily have to be true, it depends on whether you are smart or not." With that, the two laughed meaningfully. Zhang Shaoying said: "Then you can do three things for me." The overlord replied: "The first thing should be a grave-digging killer organization? Second, Mo Feng's death, and third, I can't guess it. Zhang Shaoying secretly sighed and said, "Then it's not too late for me to look at these two things first." The Overlord smiled faintly, "You will be able to answer this question by tomorrow night." Subsequently, the overlord invited Zhang Shaoying to participate in the bonfire evening cooking. Zhang Shaoying didn't let people accompany him, but the three of Yuexian, Night Void, and Fengshen were not under his jurisdiction, so they could only follow him, but Long Xiangzi was always silent, calm, and stayed by Zhang Shaoying's side without leaving half a step. In fact, both Steward Yang and Zhang Shaoying understand that the ability of this overlord is definitely not simple, although Zhang Shaoying can answer him fluently, but he is a big step behind in terms of wisdom. The evening meal is just a festive harvest, and the two of them are just a scene, from resignation to geography, and talk endlessly. Zhang Shaoying discovered the peculiarity of this overlord, calm and calm but funny, and he was even more kind to the people around him, but his intuition told him that if necessary, the overlord would definitely attack him without hesitation, and everything was under his control. Zhang Shaoying didn't like this feeling very much, but it required his personal courage and resourcefulness, as well as the support of strength, and he obviously couldn't do it. Zhang Shaoying has actually worked hard, but he is always not decisive enough when facing big things, and he himself hates this feeling, but he can't completely change it. After the evening cooking, Zhang Shaoying's bathing was finished, and he began to deal with the things of the altar and the vertical and horizontal doors, originally Steward Yang was worried that the overlord would follow the scouts who came to deliver the documents, but Zhang Shaoying stopped him. Although he and the overlord are all silent, in fact, they have already been secretly competing, you have a tracking method, I have an evasion technique, it just depends on whose means are more clever.

In the dead of night, Zhang Shaoying couldn't sleep, she had been away from her wife for too long, and her thoughts were like a tide, and she was thirsty. But the Zongheng faction is facing change, which requires the cooperation of Ji Lingshuang, Benyue, Liu Yan, and the four of them to survive peacefully, and it is not appropriate to regenerate branches at this time. It has been a long time since she received a note from her wife, Zhang Shaoying thought about it and wrote three sentences: "Sisi is close to each other, and I can't see it, where is there a meeting." When she got up early, Zhang Shaoying asked the horizontal network scout order to be issued, and although she was thousands of miles away from the ground at this time, her wife could receive it within three days.
