Baguo, Ren County.

The evening night has arrived. The stars are gone under the black curtain.

The lively nightlife in Ninja County has begun.

There was a group of people surrounding the world to perform in the arts, watching them dance with swords, guns, swords and halberds, broken big stones on their chests, and somersaults.

Some people were having dinner and laughing in the restaurant with their relatives and friends.

There were also playboys who took their servants to watch the ladies who were shuttled around.

...

"Yaoyu Pavilion" is also very lively.

Every night is very lively.

The lobby is filled with people from all walks of life, either single or in groups of people eating flower wine. The girls next to them are tall, small, gentle, or well-educated and well-educated to accompany the guests to laugh and laughter...

The most noble place of "Yaoyu Pavilion" belongs to "Cingzheng Hall". As the name suggests, "Cingzheng Hall" is a place used for political discussions, just like a poetry gathering in later generations.

"Cha Zhengtang" will be organized by popular politicians and will send invitations a few days in advance. Those who do not have invitations must be brought by those who have invitations before entering "Cha Zhengtang". "Cha Zhengtang" is the property of the Wang family. In Ren County, no one dares not to give face to the Wang family.

It is difficult to enter such a circle by opening the door of the brothel.

The "Cingzheng Hall" gathered about 20 people, including Cai Youli, the second master of the Cai family, Lin Pei, the shopkeeper of the Wang family rice shop, Fang Yujian, the sword master of the sword, Duan Yidao, who is known as the "Broken Door Knife", Liu Bin, a playboy from the Liu family, Zhou Bing, a carriage and horse gang who traveled around the world, Wen Renshu, a poor family man, etc.

These people are famous in the world, at least in Ren County. Today, Su Qi presided over the political conference for the first time, and they all came to support Su Qi and gave Su Qi a lot of face.

Li Yao was brought in by Liu Bin.

As the event host, Su Qi, who was the first to be the event, has long been recognized by those present in his talent.

"...Miss Su's Taoist thought is very good for individuals. I agree with the unity of man and nature, pursuing nature, and exploring the way of heaven. However, such ideas and practices are useless for governing the country and opening up territory." Li Yao began to talk freely, speaking directly and briefly.

Su Qi smiled slightly: "Please give me advice from Mr. Li!"

"I dare not give advice. For the current Ba State, it is impossible to govern without doing anything. Let's look at the neighboring countries around. Chu State has a vast land and a vast territory. It was once the overlord of the Central Plains, with a population of tens of millions and a million troops. Our country has always been constantly in conflict with him... Since Shang Yang began the reform of the Qin State, its national strength has been strong. Although the terrain is remote and the population is not as large as our country, they have lived in bitter and cold places all year round, but their people are strong and able to endure hardships. After the reform, they have a way to advance, which has strengthened their decision on the battlefield.

, Beheading people's heads, in terms of merit, is the basis for Qin's survival in the cracks... Although Shu has been living peacefully with us now, if we cannot be self-reliant, we will meet us one day... These are what we must pay attention to. All countries around, such as Chen and Yun, have few people and narrow land, but they should not be underestimated. They are also fighting for survival..." Speaking of this, Li Yao looked around, some were thinking, some were nodding, and some felt alarmist.

"Mr. Li is right. This is the current situation. It has been like this for a hundred decades. I think this situation will continue. The surrounding environment is like this. Our Ba country has a long history, the people's customs are strong, the business is quite developed, and Jing Yan also controls the lifeline of neighboring countries... In this way, Fang believes that our Ba country should attach importance to enlightenment, let more people read, understand the truth, and choose good methods to make the country rich and strong. Confucius once said - choose the good ones and follow them, and change them with the bad ones. Using Confucianism, if there are more people reading, the country will naturally be strong, and the surrounding vassal states will definitely be convinced and will never dare to eye our Ba country." Fang Yujian, who was the Shuwan of Fang Jia, talked eroticly. He affirmed the status quo and emphasized that if the Ba country wants to be strong, it must cultivate scholars, gather the wisdom of scholars, and influence and educate the surrounding vassal states.

Su Qi smiled at Fang Yujian and nodded slightly, thinking that he was right, that education and education are still somewhat in common with the unity of heaven.

Fang Yujian was in his 30s and was slightly short. He was born with a poor family and was not valued. He was only taught by the Fang family in the internal school of the Fang family. As a scholar, he liked to make friends with others and often went to and from big and small political gatherings. No matter who the other party was, he would rise up and refute. Now he thought that the dissatisfaction of the Fang family might be to attract attention and find a way out. Perhaps his theory has not been recognized and has not been appreciated by others. More than ten years have passed, and he has not gotten the opportunity to become an official.

"Mr. Fang, I think your idea is good, but now there are crises. Taoism and Confucianism are not what the Ba Kingdom needs now. Now our Ba Kingdom should be strong. As long as we have strong troops, we can protect our country. Our family will say, Ren County. Look at the bright lights, the business is prosperous, and the people live and work in peace. What do you rely on? It is our soldiers who blocked the enemy's invasion on the front line. They built a stable rear for us with their lives and blood. The Chu Kingdom sent 50,000 troops the year before yesterday. If it weren't for our Ba Manta, General Ba who blocked the attack of Chu Kingdom, could we talk about it here?" Li Yao shook his head. There were wars everywhere in the country every year. Confucian ideas were good. Can neighboring countries give you time?

Bamanzi is the current god of war in Ba. He has experienced more than twenty battles, most of whom ended with victory. Because of his existence, there are fewer wars around him.

It seems that Li Yao advocates military strategists, and only with strength can he have the right to speak. Su Qi thought so.

This was the door of the "Chi Zhengtang" opened a crack, and a soldier quietly walked to Li Yao and said a few words to him.

Li Yao stood up, raised her glass and accused everyone of guilt, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I have something to deal with, I'm respectful to do it first. Let's get together next time, say goodbye!"

After saying that, Li Yao and the soldier hurriedly bid farewell.

"Brother Liu Xian, who is Li Yao? What are you doing?" The surrounding area began to ask Liu Bin who brought Li Yao over.

Liu Bin haha, holding a fan in his right hand and gently patted his left hand, and slowly said, "Li Yao is a soldier. I heard that he is from the Li family in Jiangzhou. He has just arrived at the garrison in our Ren County as a lieutenant."

There are 2,000 troops stationed in Ren County, stationed on the edge of the Yangtze River in Ren County. Their main responsibilities are to maintain public security in the county, arrest thieves, and maintain the safety of ships coming and going from the Yangtze River, as well as to assist in the safety of the salt wells in Wushan.

Headed by the Ren County Captain, there are 1,500 navy personnel and more than 20 warships, 500 infantry personnel and 100 war horses. It is a large military camp in the inland area.

"Do you know him very well?"

"I'm not familiar with it. I came to our mansion a few days ago and said I wanted to learn about the political gathering in Ninja County, so I brought him here today. Oh, you guys continue..."

In this way, Su Qi met Li Yao.

...

"Ha, my father is still a lieutenant!"

"Your father is actually not just a lieutenant. He came to Ren County and was appointed by General Ba to rectify military affairs. He is the confidant general of General Ba. He also has many generals in the Li family, and he has always had a great influence in the military of Ba."
