Chapter 927 Heavenly Official? Heroic Spirit?

"It's still the topic of gods we discussed earlier. Compared to your Xianglong Empire, Faerun gods are more entangled with this continent, especially after the Year of Turmoil.

In order to consolidate the throne, the gods must pay more attention to this continent. When you make any decision, you must consider how these gods will react.

You don’t have to believe in them, but you must understand and respect them. "

Gavin neither asked these Xianglong people to convert to Ms. Strategy, nor asked them to follow him, showing full respect for their original beliefs.

Belief in something like this often requires subtlety rather than mandatory orders.

Yes, it is also the behavior of a tyrant and evil god.

"If you do as the Romans do, it's a human thing, let alone a god. If you can, please send Mr. Ying to us to teach us the corresponding knowledge." Guo Conglong took the initiative to plead.

On this journey to the west, he had fully appreciated the terror of those Faerun gods.

Yamen Khan only controlled part of the power of the gods and let them destroy everything until other gods appeared.

Not to mention there are other powerful gods in Faerûn.

Gavin took the opportunity to push Catherine to the table and said: "This is the spokesperson of the goddess of strategy.

She will lead people to establish a war academy in Klont, specifically to popularize the knowledge of Faerun gods to you, and at the same time, she will also discuss with you the application of strategy and tactics in war and life.

Many things that are commonplace in your Xianglong Dynasty are only in their infancy in this continent.

I hope that when the time comes, you will not be stingy with your knowledge and teach it to your soldiers and strategy priests.

We also fully respect your family inheritance. Everything is voluntary and paid. After all, knowledge is also a kind of wealth. We decide according to the specific situation. "

Guo Conglong said sincerely: "The general has thought so carefully for us. If we don't treat each other sincerely, we will be ashamed of ourselves.

Don't worry, General, I will do my best to cooperate with Catherine in carrying out this matter. "

Not to mention the Tukan people who drove them as slaves, even in the Xianglong Empire.

Among the many coaches and generals Guo Conglong has followed, none are as enlightened as Gavin.

Many things have been thought of and arranged in front of them.

If you don't know how to cherish this opportunity, you will have read so many military history books in vain.

It's easy to talk to smart people.

As long as the goals are clearly stated, they will fill in the shelves themselves and help correct them from the side.

Gavin continued: “The second note is also related to the indigenous beliefs and customs of the indigenous people around the Great Valley, especially the Misr Forest and Rawlins Forest.

Many of them are druids who respect nature, and their biggest taboo is large-scale deforestation.

Although I have established friendly relations with the indigenous people here and reached an agreement to jointly develop the Giant Valley and carry out large-scale farming here.

But harmonious development is the premise and tone.

Therefore, during the process of land reclamation, you must make good plans to avoid large-scale damage to the forest, thereby causing unnecessary conflicts.

Communication and coordination with the locals are carried out by the commander of the Ayden Army. His chariot army is mainly composed of Jugu people. Your logistics work is carried out by the chariot army led by him. "

Pure farming causes relatively little damage to nature.

But there are some things that should be paid attention to. After all, the standards of environmentalists are different from ordinary people.

"We have had good cooperation with Commander Aiden in the past half month, and I believe this relationship will continue." Guo Conglong secretly admired the young general in front of him.

Not only is his strategy and tactics superb, but his political skills are also readily available.

While informing Faerûn of various taboos, he also quietly placed his own people around them, and it was so natural that they could not resist at all.

Because everything is done in the name of taking care of them.

In other words, Catherine penetrated into them and tried to change the thoughts and beliefs that controlled them.

Then, Aiden and his chariot army would firmly control their stomachs and block their rear, leaving them with nowhere to go.

Asanas Plains is both their future new home and their future prison.

It’s just that this cage is relatively large, covering nearly 80,000 square kilometers.

“During the process of land reclamation and cultivation, the druids of the Giant Valley will provide assistance, especially in seedling breeding, and we will fully cooperate.

You must select among all the Xianglong people and select those with rich farming experience.

As far as planting is concerned, we can exchange what we need.

After all, the exchange time between the two continents is too short, and there is still huge potential that can be tapped.

As far as I know, your Xianglong has a plant called bamboo. Its growth cycle is very short and its vitality is tenacious.

As long as a seedling is planted, a dense bamboo forest will grow within a few years. "

When talking about agriculture with these Xianglong people, Gavin naturally thought of the crops and cash crops unique to the Xianglong Empire.

Among them, bamboo ranked first, and he urgently needed a tree that could be used quickly.

Only in this way can many of his plans be put on schedule, such as developing more advanced papermaking and printing technologies.

Only after these two things are made, can we promote the corresponding newspapers and books and carry out large-scale literacy education.

The high cost of education in Furen is closely related to the high cost of writing.

There is no need to say more about the business opportunities.

It is not impossible to use grass, but it is obviously not as durable as wood, and bamboo is a last resort.

Those natural gods will not agree to develop first and then govern.

If you want a plan to be implemented on a large scale in Furen, you must first pass their level.

There are more ways to pass the level than Gavin's roundabout route. If you are strong enough, it is also feasible to convince them with your fists.

Gavin believes that his fists are not that hard, at least in the short term.

He didn't leave before, and it is estimated that he will not leave in the future. After all, he is already closely tied to nature.

"General, if you want bamboo, you don't need to go to Xianglong at all. You can get it from those Tukan people." Guo Conglong opened his mouth and brought Gavin good news.

Gavin immediately became alert and asked, "What do you mean?"

"In the Xianglong Dynasty, bamboo has a noble meaning. It is called the Four Gentlemen of Flowers together with plum, orchid and chrysanthemum, and the Three Friends of Winter together with plum and pine. Those literati like to write poems about bamboo very much.

Although the Tukan people are now powerful and have enslaved us, in fact, most of the time, they are suppressed and influenced by the Xianglong Dynasty.

This has led to many Tukan chiefs admiring Xianglong culture very much. Yamen Khan is no exception. He sent his son Hubadai to study in the Xianglong Imperial Capital for many years.

There are even some Tukan chiefs who are mixed-race descendants of the Xianglong people. Many of them are pretentious and learn to do potted plants from the Xianglong dignitaries.

Although most of them are half Although the journey was abandoned, many things that belonged to the Xianglong Empire were brought with them.

When I came to Faerun, I saw many bamboo forests. The closest and largest one was located in Winterburg near the Great Ice Sea in the Endless Wilderness.

It was just that due to the climate, the bamboo there did not grow very well, after all, they like a hot and humid environment.

Compared with Xianglong, the Tulong Dynasty further south is the real place where bamboo is produced. The use of bamboo has been explored to the extreme. Not only are they used as building materials, but they are also made into various exquisite bamboo products. "

Guo Conglong was valued by Gavin, naturally not only because of his influence among the Xianglong people, but also because the strategy he showed was far superior to that of ordinary people.

Like that Hu Bianguan, he was both civil and military, decisive, courageous, and proficient in flexibility.

It was just that their origins made them represent two completely different classes of Xianglong people.

Guo Conglong was born into a declining aristocratic family and was a typical representative of the aristocratic family of the Xianglong Dynasty.

Hu Bianguan was born in a border military household, and is a model of the lower-class military and civilians.

Gavin was delighted and said, "As long as there is money, it will be easy. I have more than one territory. I also have territories in the south, where the climate is hot and humid.

The biggest worry was how to get the corresponding seeds in large quantities.

If we transport them from the Xianglong Empire thousands of miles away, I am afraid we will have to wait until the trade route is reopened. Now it is easier.

We don't need to dig them ourselves. It won't take long before those Tukan people will deliver them to our door.

When you have time, you can study them carefully to see if there are any valuable things in the hands of those Tukan people, and make a list for me in case of emergency."

"Yes." Guo Conglong promised loudly.

When they heard that they were going to blackmail the Tukan people, all the Xianglong people became excited.

As for whether Gavin's plan could succeed, no one doubted it anymore.

After all, the situation of the Tukan people is here. They are a group of trapped beasts in a desperate situation. It is only a matter of time before they are eliminated.

And this time is when they are most valuable.

They will certainly try every possible way to get out of trouble, not limited to war, including peace talks.

They haven't done so yet because they think they still have a chance, a chance to defeat the Furen coalition in the wilderness.

As long as the Furen coalition is defeated, they will once again take the initiative in the war.

"When you develop, don't limit your thinking to land reclamation and farming, and select craftsmen from all walks of life.

Especially a series of products such as porcelain and textiles that are very popular on this continent. As long as we can mass-produce one of them, even if it is inferior to the Xianglong Dynasty, we will have mastered the source of wealth."

Gavin's business soul began to burn.

This is another value of this group of Xianglong people, that is, to open a production factory dedicated to them here.

Who said that Far Eastern products must be manufactured in the Far East?

Is the porcelain fired in Furen not Far Eastern porcelain?

If tens of thousands of kilometers of transportation are saved, there is no need to say how much profit margin there is.

In this world where transportation is extremely backward, the transportation cost is terrifying, sometimes several times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times the original value of the goods.

"This..." Guo Conglong said with difficulty, "We have been enslaved by the Tukan people for nearly two years. Most of those who survived were from the military or related fighting men.

Even if there were craftsmen, most of them died along the way.

Different trades are like different mountains.

If you ask them to carry a hoe and plow the land, most of them will have no problem, after all, most of them have experienced it since childhood.

But if you ask them to open a furnace to burn porcelain, or weave silk and satin, that would be difficult for them, especially raising silkworms and weaving, which are mostly women's jobs."

Gavin did not completely agree with Guo Conglong’s remarks, “Surviving in a war does not rely solely on force, luck is also essential.

Forty-three thousand.

It's not a small number. Among you, there may be professionals from other industries.

There is no need for more, as long as we find one in each industry, we will make money.

It's like having seeds. As long as you water and irrigate them diligently, sooner or later they will bloom and bear fruit.

Even if it doesn’t, it doesn’t matter. After the trade route to the Far East is reopened, I will find ways to tap mature talents and technologies. "

"I'll do my best." Guo Conglong stopped arguing.

Because this in itself is an inevitable process for their future development, but at Gavin's request, some things were advanced.

The prosperity of all industries will not hurt them in establishing a foothold here.

Gavin only pointed out the general direction for Guo Conglong's development in Clonte, and the rest needed to be explored. After all, most industries do not exist in isolation.

But it requires a lot of prerequisites.

Take satin for example.

If you want to weave, you must first raise silkworms, and raising silkworms requires corresponding silkworm seeds and mulberry trees.

If any of these prerequisites are missing, even finding the best craftsman will be useless.

Moreover, Gavin was not prepared to steal everything from Xianglong Empire.

Not to mention whether the prostitution is complete or not, his interests are not allowed.

Don’t forget what the core priesthood he plans to create is – the path priesthood.

He also counted on this golden road to take his faith out of Faerûn, deep into the endless wilderness, and towards the Xianglong Empire!

If you can transform the Golden Road into part of your conceptual power, your foundation will be stronger.

These plans have nothing to do with Guo Conglong and others, at least they are not used at the moment.

Gavin continued the previous topic: "The third point is basically similar to the second point, except that it is replaced by water..."

This time, before he finished speaking, Guo Conglong had already guessed, "The general is referring to Asen Lake?"

"Yes, you must not go fishing in the lake without my notice. As for the reason, I don't think I need to say more."

"Understood." Guo Conglong said in a accustomed tone, "In fact, the same is true in Xianglong. If you want to catch fish in rivers and lakes, you must obtain the consent of the heavenly officials in the water.

In fact, many parts of the Leatherman Kingdom are already similar to the Xianglong Dynasty.

Their spirits are enjoying the heavenly officials they worship. "

He does not mean that.

Yes, why didn't I connect the two together before?

From this point of view, the Leatherman Kingdom is rushing towards the Xianglong Dynasty, but it is limited by the fact that they have not yet formed their own complete god system, the overall population is relatively small, and the abilities of those spirits are relatively limited.

Previously, I only thought about going to the Xianglong Dynasty to learn from the scriptures, but I didn't expect that there was already a living example around me.

Compared with the Xianglong Dynasty, which has been developing for thousands of years, the Leatherman Kingdom, which is still in the initial stage of development, has more reference value for itself.

Whether it is a spirit, an ancestral spirit, a heavenly official or a divine envoy.

In fact, they are all the same being.

That is the soul that has received the infusion of faith.

Gavin, who had fought alongside the Leatherman Berserkers, had experienced those totem advantages firsthand.

In the early days of those berserker warriors, those totems were the mentors they carried with them. They would always teach them various survival and combat skills, allowing them to avoid many detours, survive various battles, and grow up faster.

When those berserker warriors gradually grow up, especially in the later stages, the berserker warrior's own professional level and belief will in turn nourish those totems and make them stronger.

This is a mutually beneficial process.

It is also a process that allows warriors to achieve rapid results, which is what Gavin lacks the most.

And the cohesion brought about by this interaction is also beyond imagination.

Becoming a petitioner for the kingdom of gods is more of a good wish for mortals. Most people will never have the opportunity to see what a real petitioner looks like in their lifetime.

On the contrary, the ancestral spirits of the Leatherman Kingdom are visible to the naked eye and will fight alongside them.

This is why those Leatherman Berserkers are so fearless of life and death and why they are so united.

Because they know what will happen to them after death, especially those who died heroically in battle, even if they are not resurrected, they will become the ancestral spirits that countless tribesmen sing about and strive to obtain.

If this situation is pushed to one's own territory, can it enhance the cohesion of the people in one's territory?

Is it more helpful to collect your own beliefs?

There is a trouble that must be faced when cultivating your own totem or heroic spirit.

This process will intercept a large number of souls, which will offend the gods.

It would be fine if it was a small fight, but if all the souls were intercepted like the Leatherman Kingdom, I am afraid that Ms. Strategy, who has an extremely close relationship with Gavin, would also fall out with him.

The reason why Ms. Strategy spared no effort to support Gavin was because she could gain a lot of benefits in the process. If the benefits were not there, she would naturally fall out.

However, this can be balanced. After all, it is impossible for Gavin to turn his territory into a fighting nation like the Leatherman Kingdom. Most of the people in the territory are ordinary people.

It would be too cheap if everyone could become a Heroic Spirit.

Only those who have battle deeds or contributions that match them are qualified to become the corresponding heroes, to enter the Hall of Heroes, to be worshipped by the world, to become a true hero, and to continue to fight to protect their families and territories.

If necessary, the original cooperation model with Ms. Strategy can be continued, and the Hall of Heroes can be established in her name. I believe she will be very interested.

Her believers are very suitable to become heroes.

They can provide combat guidance and wise advice to those soldiers, which is equivalent to carrying a combat staff with them.

Compared with living people, these heroes have many advantages.

There is no need to worry about their betrayal or selfishness, because the two are honorable and shameful, and suggestions are naturally easier to listen to.

In this process, it is natural to subtly influence the other party and make him a believer of Ms. Strategy.
