[Wei and Yan entered the developmental period. The two countries recruited talents, developed agriculture, handicrafts, and trained soldiers.]

[The Huns in the north became increasingly powerful. The Huns' Chanyu, who was the emperor, and claimed to be the Great Chanyu. He began to covet the territory of the Central Plains and the original Donghu and frequently sent troops to invade.]

[In order to resist the Huns, Yan and Wei built the Great Wall in the north, established northern counties to defend against the Huns.]

Both countries have experience in resisting the Huns, so although the Huns developed very quickly, they were both blocked.

Ten years have passed.

Yan and Wei have always been at peace, and both countries know that small fuss will not work unless one side is ready to completely destroy the other country.

At this time, a new news came.

[The Nanman Holy Temple was captured, and many Nanman masters were killed in battle, and the Southern Barbarian countries were in chaos. It is rumored that the person who came out was a mysterious woman with unrivaled power.]

"It must be the King of Chu!" Zhang Beichen could only think of Xiong Zhitong when he saw the information. In addition to King of Chu, he was the spokesperson of those gods.

But according to Zhang Beichen's experience, the spokesperson of the gods cannot suddenly become very strong, and must rely on enough faith.

For example, the spokesperson of the Beast God, Mao Tai, only after unifying the Huns was the Beast God became stronger. In one simulation, the Witch God and the Gu God of the Southern Barbarians stole enough power in the Central Plains and cultivated the spokesperson of the Emperor Realm.

During this period, the Southern Barbarian countries were still very weak, and I am afraid that such a strong person had not yet been born.

"Since Xiong Zhitong has solved the biggest danger of the Southern Barbarians, it is better to send troops to the Southern Barbarians and take it down directly!"

[You wrote to King Yan and asked to send troops to the Southern Barbarians.]

[The King of Yan appointed Qing Bai as a general and led 300,000 troops to fight against the Southern Barbarians.]

Qing Bai is now at the Nine Realm of Cultivation. If it were the previous Southern Barbarians, his ability would not be enough to conquer. However, the current Southern Barbarians were greatly damaged by the King of Chu, and Qing Bai faced much less resistance.

[Three years later, Qing Bai pacified the south. The King of Yan established three southern counties in the south and ordered Qing Bai to guard the south.]

...

"It's time to prepare for the final unification cause!"

Now the only one who stands in front of Yan State is Wei State.

The current Wei State is also full of talents and has a prosperous national strength.

Zhang Beichen was not sure about the normal attack, so he could only find a way to play other routines.

At this time, the handicraft industry in Yan State was already very developed, and porcelain, cloth and silk had even begun to be exported to the Western Regions. Iron forging, salt, fishery, etc. were also leading the world.

Zhang Beichen established the Maritime Mansion Department, which specializes in managing merchants and markets. Under such management, the business in Yan State was unprecedentedly developed.

[You have lowered the tariffs on the export of goods from Wei State and increased the tariffs on the import of goods from Wei State.]

[A year after the implementation of the policy, Yan's commodity exports to Wei increased significantly, while Wei's commodity exports to Yan's commodity exports decreased greatly, and Wei began to become the dumping place of commercial products of Yan.]

[Wei State adjusted its national policy and also increased the tax on Yan's goods.]

This time, Wei Yao had a long memory and knew that Zhang Beichen had used food warfare to destroy the Wei State, so policy adjustments were very timely.

But she didn't expect that the gap in productivity was the key!

The efficiency of a person's loom in Wei State is equal to that of a hundred people. Zhang Beichen took strict measures to prevent its spread from inventing the textile machine.

This thing is now similar to Zhang Beichen's original lithography machine in space and time, and is a cutting-edge technology!

In addition to this, there are leading technologies such as pottery firing, coarse salt purification, metal smelting, pottery firing, etc.

Even if the State of Wei increased the tariffs on imported goods in Yan, it could not stop the Wei State from producing goods more efficiently, with lower costs, and better looking and useful things. The Wei State's products are still not competitive.

Wei Yao wanted to change this situation, but no one understood these technologies at all. You may be able to steal one or two of them by relying on spies, but it has not changed the overall situation.

[Five years later, the handicraft industry in Wei State further sluggished. In order to exchange for enough commodities, the people of Wei State had to engage in large quantities in agricultural production.]

Wei Yao originally thought that with more people engaged in agriculture in her country, the country would become stronger. However, she soon discovered that this was not the case.

The land was controlled by the nobles. The nobles received the food and did not distribute it to the peasants, but exported it to Yan State in exchange for goods from Yan State.

The farmers in China are still starving, and because of the prosperity of Yan State, Wei State began to experience population outflow. Many Wei people smuggled into Yan State, and Yan State refused everyone and took them in.
