Novel East
Chapter 194.1
Watching Song Yufeis departing figure, Yaoyao whispered into Lin Beifans ear, Since were going to be enemies from now on, why dont we strike first and wipe out the Great Luo Dynasty? We could just dispatch a master to kill the Great Luo Emperor! Without her wise ruler, that woman will practically lose. Shell lose to me, Yaoyao, hahaha
Lin Beifan was somewhat angry, Yaoyao, how can you say such a thing?
Oh, feeling sorry for her?
With a hint of sarcasm, Yaoyao pressed her finger against Lin Beifans chest and said, Tell me honestly, are you lusting after her body and thats why you cant bear to make a move against her?
Yaoyao, you misunderstand me!
Lin Beifan whispered, What I mean is we should follow the saying sneak into the village without firing a shot! Killing him outright is so boring. Its much more satisfying to play him to death quietly!
Yaoyao:
Without a struggle, he wont know what true despair means! Lin Beifan laughed proudly.
Yaoyao:
After Yaoyao left, Lin Beifan immediately issued an order.
Keep a close watch on every move of the Great Luo Dynasty, and report to me at the slightest sign of trouble!
Yes, Your Majesty!
Three days later, Song Yufei arrived at the imperial palace of the Great Luo Dynasty and met with someone.
He was a tall and burly man with a square face, thick hair, and a full beard, his eyes bright and piercing, exuding a powerful aura, clearly someone of high position.
This man was the reigning Emperor of the Great Luo DynastyLuo Zun.
Upon seeing Song Yufei, he was overjoyed and said, Fairy Yufei, youve come!
Song Yufei nodded, Your Majesty, my personal affairs are settled! From today onwards, I will wholeheartedly assist you in expanding the Empire and becoming a sage monarch remembered in history!
Excellent! With your help and the support of the Taoist Sect, my Great Luo will surely rise rapidly to become one of the worlds great powers! Luo Zun laughed heartily, very pleased.
The two sat down on the ground, and after a cup of tea, Song Yufei asked seriously, Your Majesty, what are your plans moving forward?
The Great Luo Emperors expression turned serious as well, First and foremost, we must enrich the people! A countrys strength is inseparable from the support of its common people. If the nation is rich but the people are poor, it will not win the hearts of the people and will be abandoned by the common people.
To gain the support of the people, we must ensure they are well-fed and content so they will support the country from the bottom of their hearts. This is the foundation for transitioning from a Dynasty to an Empire!
Song Yufei nodded, What Your Majesty says is very true. Only by keeping the common people in your heart will they support you!
The Great Luo Emperor, full of vigor, continued, Besides that, we must strengthen our military! To become an Empire, territory and resources are essential, and these must be seized by force! Therefore, we must build a strong army that is invincible.
Do you have any specific actions in mind for these broad directions?
Of course, I plan to implement a series of reforms. However, this will touch upon the interests of the noble families, and they will surely not agree. I will need the support of the Taoist Sect! The Great Luo Emperor said with a bow.
Song Yufei nodded, That wont be a problem. With the Taoist Sects backing, they wouldnt dare to act rashly!
With this support, I can boldly proceed! The Great Luo Emperor said with a smile.
His rise to Emperor was not without the support of the noble families.
However, the noble families were too greedy, often restricting his actions and preventing him from doing what he wanted.
But now, with the support of the Taoist Sect, the noble families wouldnt dare to cause trouble, making his actions much easier.
My reform measures are as follows!
Organize a large number of unemployed common people to clear land, build roads, dig canals, construct houses, etc., provide them with food, and also pay them wages! Once they have money, they will naturally spend it, thus revitalizing the market and improving the economy
The more Song Yufei listened, the more familiar it sounded, Isnt this the development model of Great Xia?
Thats right, it is the development model of Great Xia!
The Great Luo Emperor nodded in acknowledgment, Great Xia was able to develop from a small kingdom into a super Dynasty in just two years thanks to this model! I have studied it carefully and found it to be an extremely effective strategy for enriching the nation and strengthening the country!
It must be said that the Emperor of Great Xia who came up with this idea is a genius! Thats why I admire him greatly! Its just a pity that his method was too ahead of its time, overturning peoples long-held beliefs, and so he was misunderstood by the world and called a foolish emperor for two years! Hahaha
Since this method is effective, I plan to adopt it! With proper execution, the Great Luo Dynasty will surely rise rapidly to become one of the worlds great powers!
Great Luo Emperors eyes shone with intense ambition.
Song Yufei advised, But Your Majesty, this approach is too radical and requires a large amount of food support! ๐ฏ๐๐ท๐๐ญ๐๐ข๐ ๐ต.๐๐๐ฎ
You need not worry about that, Fairy Yufei!
Great Luo Emperor said with a smile, After three years of diligent governance and recuperation, Great Luo has accumulated enough food to support the entire nations common people for a year! So, theres absolutely no problem with food supplies!
Song Yufei continued to persuade, But we also need sufficient funds! According to the development model of Great Xia, we need to distribute not only food but also money to rejuvenate the economy! Can your national treasury afford it?
Fairy Yufei, you need not worry about this either!
Great Luo Emperor laughed again, Although the silver in Great Luos national treasury is not abundant, it is certainly enough to last a few months! I can distribute money while selling cement houses to collect their money back! We can also increase our gold and silver through taxation! This way, well create a perfect cycle!
When money starts circulating quickly, our Great Luos economy will develop rapidly! The faster the money flows, the quicker the development, and the richer the nation will become!
This is a principle Ive come to understand after deeply studying the Great Xia model! Hahaha ๐ป๐จ๐๐ฒ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐๐.๐๐จ๐บ
Song Yufei was still worried, But the reason Great Xia was able to develop was inseparable from their rich resources! For instance, in building cement houses, they have abundant resources like coal, limestone, and iron ore, all located near the cities, saving a great deal of cost! You guys
Great Luo Emperor loudly declared, Our resources in Great Luo are also very abundant and close to the cities, as well as near rivers! It can be said that whatever conditions Great Xia has, Great Luo has them too!
If Great Xia can succeed, theres no reason I cant! Fairy Yufei, just wait and see! I will surely build a powerful Great Luo in the near future!
With his ambitious spirit and the support of the Taoist Sect, Great Luo Emperor immediately began reforms.
First, he had the Taoist Sect suppress the noble families to prevent them from causing trouble, then took the opportunity to seize control of numerous resources.
Following that, he boldly initiated reforms.
He posted imperial decrees, organizing a large number of common people to work: clearing land, mining, building roads, digging canals, constructing houses
In short, he copied everything that Great Xia had done.
The Great Luo Dynasty sparked a start-work fever.
Lin Beifan quickly learned of this situation and laughed, They really know how to copy. Ill add fuel to the fire! Summon Elder Qian of the Beggar Sect, I have orders for him!
