Chapter 198 External Plan
"As for other aspects, let Master Wen explain it to the lord."
After Wang Hai finished speaking, he stepped aside. Wen Zhong took two steps forward, saluted Zhang Lu, and said based on Wang Hai's words just now: "We don't need to interfere in politics. Now the aristocratic family headed by the Li Jiawen family and Huang Guo The royal family headed by the prince is fighting fiercely, and as long as we don't take the initiative to attack them, they won't have the time to become our enemy."
"As for culture."
Wen Zhong showed a confident expression at this time, "Recently, many refugees from the Huang Kingdom have fled into our territory. I have recruited some people to form an opera troupe and a storytelling troupe to turn the Lord's deeds into stories. Between us and Huang After the two countries sign a food aid agreement, they can be sent into the Huang Kingdom and let the people of the Huang Kingdom watch operas and listen to stories for free."
"At that time, some refugees will return to their hometowns to promote the benefits of taxation in the Fairyland. If one day, the Fairyland captures the cities of the Huang Kingdom, it will only be what the people want."
"Finally, in terms of military matters, when does the lord hope to capture Huang Country?"
Zhang Lu had already thought about this issue and immediately answered his question: "There are two points to consider. The first is when Yan State can annex Jing State. We need to conquer Huang State before Yan State annexes Jing State. Accumulate strength to resist the further expansion of the Yan Kingdom, and the second is whether any of us in the Immortal Domain has the ability to conquer the huge Huang Kingdom!"
Zhang Lu's answer made Wen Zhong nodded, and this idea coincided with his.
"Based on the current intelligence, the war between Yan State and Jing State has temporarily stopped, and winter is about to begin. They don't want to consume too much food in winter, so I judge that the war between the two countries should start in the spring of next year. Rekindled, and ended before winter.”
"If nothing else happens, Yan State can annex the entire Jing State this time! So we need to capture Huang State in the middle of next year to develop our strength!"
"In this way, the balance between the Huang family and the royal family cannot be broken. It is best to let them both lose in the fight. Does your majesty still remember the craftsmen we want from the dwarf kingdom?"
Hearing what Zhong said, Zhang Lu remembered that the dwarf craftsmen should be arriving soon, and by then there would be a group of more dwarves in his territory.
He seemed to have guessed what Wen Zhong was going to do, "Are these dwarf craftsmen going to be used in this plan for Huang Country?"
"That's right!" Wen Zhong continued: "Once a war breaks out, weapons and armor will be damaged much faster than usual. In addition, both of them are constantly recruiting troops. It is when they are short of equipment that we communicate with one of them. , negotiate to sell the weapons and armor they need, and then send dwarves to contact the other party secretly to sell equipment as dwarves."
"When one side is strong, we will give the other side better equipment to control the balance between them, so that they can continue to consume the other side's army. By the middle of next year, we will cut off the food supply, and then Huang's army will be able to Whatever we do, the equipment we sell, except for the damaged ones, will still be back in our own hands!"
"During this period, the Immortal Territory should also expand its army. Many of our soldiers have been upgraded to the third level one after another. After living without grains, they no longer need to consume food. This is our confidence. Now that there are wars all over the continent and the number of refugees is increasing, we should Select suitable candidates from the refugees to further expand the army and prepare for next year’s war!”
After listening to the plan jointly formulated by Wen Zhong and Wang Hai, Zhang Lu nodded, then signed his name and stamped the document they submitted, which showed that the implementation priority of this document was very high!
After Zhang Lu finished signing, Nina's voice came from outside the hall.
"Brother Lord! I have something to report!"
This actually surprised Zhang Lu. It was a rare thing for Nina to come to the lobby of the city lord's palace. What would this little girl need to report to him?
But Nina is still the leader of the elf tribe, so it’s not impossible for her to come to him for official business, “Come in!”
After Zhang Lu finished speaking, a small figure walked in from outside, looking with bright eyes at Zhang Lu and Nv Wan who were sitting on the bed and chairs at the top.
After seeing the two of them, Nina was so excited that she ran over to the seat and sat directly on the other side of Zhang Lu.
Wen Zhong and Wang Hai were both studying the patterns on the roof and pretended not to have seen this scene.
"Brother Lord!"
Nina grabbed Zhang Lu's arm and showed an intimate look. In the past, the female queen would have glared at her, but since Zhang Lu expressed his feelings to her, she had started to look at the other women around Zhang Lu. The child no longer has the same hostile behavior as before.
Maybe she just wanted to be the main palace position herself?
Zhang Lu didn't dare to think deeply, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to restrain his impulse.
Although Nina was surprised by the change in the Queen's attitude today, she did have business to talk about when she came here this time.
"Didn't Brother Lord replace the World Tree with spiritual soil some time ago? There are too many elves in the territory now, which exceeds the living area that Brother has divided for us, so I want to ask, is it expanding within the fairyland, or is it?"
Only then did Zhang Lu remember that he had divided an area for Nina and the others to live in. Now, as the number of elves continues to increase, that area is no longer enough.
He thought for a while, and it happened that Lingyang City was also being rebuilt. The nearby fields would definitely be used by then. Elves played an important role in farming, especially Chonglin City, the current granary of the Immortal Realm.
The premise of many plans now is to have food. Only with food can one enhance his strength. Without food, nothing can be done.
"Master Wen!"
Wen Zhong was originally studying the structure of the pillars, but when he heard Zhang Lu calling him, he immediately stepped forward to obey the order.
"Elves' residences have been set up in Chonglin City, Newland City, and Yunlin City. Nina is responsible for arranging for the elves to move in. They can rotate or stay permanently, but they must ensure that they can use birthing magic on nearby farmland at the same time."
"At the same time, the Elf Station in the Fairyland can also be expanded, and the minimum needs must be met."
Zhang Lu gave the order, and Wen Zhong and Nina both said in unison: "Yes!"
After Zhang Lu said this, Nina still didn't leave. Instead, she looked at Zhang Lu with strange eyes, which made him feel a little scared and said, "What's wrong?"
Nina bit her lip and blushed a little. As an elf, her skin is much whiter than that of humans, so when she blushes, it is very obvious. This pink color makes people have the urge to take a bite.
"Um. I heard that the lord brother is getting married?"
