In the Datong Palace, in Li Liangzuo's study, since the last time he heard Zhou Wentai's opinion on the situation in Datong, Li Liangzuo found that Zhou Wentai was a rare talent, so Li Liangzuo found another opportunity to talk to Zhou Wentai at night. The two of them had a jar of old wine and several plates of side dishes, just like an old friend who had not seen for many years, and there was no difference between a king and a subject.

"What do you think of the current Xia Kingdom?" Li Liangzuo said to Zhou Wentai.

Zhou Wentai said bluntly: "The current Xia Kingdom is like the end of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Its power is lost. The ruler is weak and the ministers are strong, internal and external troubles, and the people are in trouble. The difference is that Your Majesty is taking the initiative step by step and preparing to take charge of the government."

"Sir, I am a king who has destroyed the country!" Li Liangzuo said with a smile.

Zhou Wentai said in fear and trepidation: "Where is Your Majesty's words? According to Your Majesty's strategy, how could Daxia destroy the country? What I mean is that Your Majesty's current situation is very dangerous."

"Just just kidding, sir, don't take it to your heart. Just say anything to me." Li Liangzuo said with a smile.

"Yes." Zhou Wentai said; "The Xia Kingdom is quite political now, and the power of the rear party is deeply rooted. Although Your Majesty won several consecutive games, it still did not shake the foundation of the rear party, especially the Mozang Epang and his son who have tens of thousands of Quye troops in their hands. It is very easy to cause trouble."

"If my uncle hadn't assisted me for so many years, I'm afraid the Emperor of Xixia would not have been my turn." Li Liangzuo said with a wry smile, "To be honest, I really can't do it! After all, without my uncle, I wouldn't be today."

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom and the monarch of millions of Xia people. As a lord, please do not have the kindness of a woman." Zhou Wentai knelt on the ground and begged Li Liangzuo.

"Sir, get up first!" Li Liangzuo stood up and looked out the window and said, "Of course I understand that being a good king of a country should not be as kind as a woman, but I don't want to be a despicable villain; my uncle has recreated grace to me. As long as the people of the Uncang family do not rebel, I can guarantee that they will enjoy wealth and honor for generations, and even let them be like the descendants of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao family, and let the Uncang family become the descendants of the Daxia Kingdom;

However, if they dare to rebel, I will never tolerate it." A murderous intent flashed in Li Liangzuo's last words. After all, although Li Liangzuo did not have the exact evidence, some of the actions of the Wuzang family had touched Li Liangzuo's bottom line. Even if Wuzang Epang did not rebel, the Wuzang family would be politically suppressed by Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo looked at the starry sky in the dark for a long time, and finally returned to his seat. Zhou Wentai also sat opposite Li Liangzuo. Zhou Wentai knew that Li Liangzuo was thinking just now, thinking about how to deal with the uncang family. After all, the Xia army has basically achieved an invincible position in the war against Liao. As long as the peace talks with the Liao Kingdom succeeds, it will be a huge victory for Xixia.

The victory of the foreign war will usher in high prestige for Li Liangzuo. In this way, Li Liangzuo's next step is to start sorting out domestic government affairs. The first stumbling block is the current Xixia uncle, the father-in-law and prime minister of the country, and Li Liangzuo and Wuzang Epang will inevitably have a political war, and the winner will have the highest rights of the entire Xixia Kingdom.

"Sir, what do you think of the future of Xixia?" Li Liangzuo continued to ask Zhou Wentai.

Zhou Wentai said instead: "The future of Xixia will depend on Your Majesty. The bigger your Majesty is, the bigger your future of Xixia will be."

"Sir, is this testing my ambition?" Li Liangzuo said after taking a sip of wine. "Today I can tell sir that those who are the king should have the world in their hearts. I hope that in my lifetime, I can establish a prosperous dynasty far superior to the Han and Tang Dynasties; 'All under the world is the king's land, and the shores of the land is the king's ministers.' I want to spread Chinese civilization to the world."

Zhou Wentai was shocked by Li Liangzuo's words. Zhou Wentai never thought that Li Liangzuo had such great ambitions. In Zhou Wentai's opinion, Li Liangzuo was at most to compete for the Central Plains and destroy the Song and Liao. After all, in the hearts of the ancients, the world was the Central Plains, and in Li Liangzuo's heart, there were people in the world, and the world should be the territory of the Western Xia Kingdom. In modern terms, Li Liangzuo wanted to dominate the world and be the king of the world.

"Your Majesty is ambitious, I am willing to die." Zhou Wentai knelt down and expressed his opinion to Li Liangzuo.

"Sir, please come on. I need a lot of talents to complete my great achievements. Based on my talent, I will definitely become my right-hand man in the future. If I have the next three points today, I wonder what I think I need to do to complete my great achievements!" Li Liangzuo asked Zhou Wentai.

Zhou Wentai knew very well that Li Liangzuo was testing himself. The future prospects depend on whether his answers could satisfy Li Liangzuo. So Zhou Wentai thought about it and said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, Xixia is located on the Loess Plateau, adjacent to the Liao Kingdom in the north, connected to the Song Dynasty in the east, connected to the Uighurs in the west, and Tubo in the south, which is a place of four battles; and whether it is the Liao Kingdom in the north or the Song Dynasty in the east, Xixia can compete with each other now, so if Your Majesty wants to plan the world, he should follow Taizu to expand the living space of Xixia west;

As Your Majesty said, it is the lowest point today, and Xixia is the weakest among the three kingdoms of Song, Liao and Xia. For this reason, if Xixia wants to survive in troubled times, it must first rely on one of the two kingdoms of Song and Liao. Now Your Majesty has formed a deep feud with Liao, so the next step is to be weak in the Song Dynasty so as to unite the Song Dynasty to fight against Liao;

After returning to the country to control the government, Your Majesty can make a good deal with the Song Dynasty. The two countries will reopen the border to restore the national strength of the Western Xia and change the current poverty situation of the people in the Western Xia. After the trade in the court, Your Majesty can dump green and white salt into the Song Dynasty. The green and white salt particles are white, and the taste is good and cheap is a must-have for the people of the Song Dynasty. Your Majesty can obtain a lot of wealth from the Song Dynasty through the Qingbai salt;

In addition, Your Majesty must vigorously renovate farmland water conservancy. Although the Xixia area is vast, most of the land is barren. The Gobi desert occupies two-thirds of the country's land area. Only the Ningxia Plain, the Hetao Plain and some river valley oasis can produce food. Therefore, Your Majesty must make full use of these high-quality land to produce food, and also find ways to buy grain and grass from the Song Dynasty to store it;

After the Western Xia national strength was strong, Your Majesty would reorganize the military and expand its military strength. Your Majesty could first take over the Hehuang Valley occupied by Tubo to stabilize the southern border. After that, you would vigorously manage the Western Regions, take over the two powerful countries of the Western Regions, and the Xizhou Uighurs and the Black Khanate, and open up the Silk Road to restore trade between the East and the West in order to extract commercial taxes from past business trips;

After stabilizing the Western Regions, the national strength of the Western Xia will be extremely strong. At that time, Your Majesty can compete with the Song and Liao to dominate the world. For the sake of security, I believe that the policy of first north and then south should be pursued, and gradually erode the territory of the Liao Kingdom. After destroying Liao, Your Majesty can divide his troops into two groups, one to build naval warships in Liaodong, and the other to destroy Dali through the Sichuan border;

At that time, Your Majesty will be able to attack the Song Dynasty from north to south. Our naval warships can cruise along the coast of the Song Dynasty and land at any location along the coast. In this way, the Song Dynasty will perish, and Your Majesty will unify China and achieve eternal hegemony. However, if Your Majesty wants to restore the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it may not be able to complete it without forty or fifty years. To surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties, it may take two or three generations of monarchs to complete it."
