First Lord of Earth

"What, Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian?"

The faces of Lu Su and Shen Wansan, who had already shown surprise several times, were moved again.

As a person from the Three Kingdoms era, Lu Su had naturally heard of this famous "Flying General".

Especially, the memory from the projection of the "Illusionary Sea" after Lu Su's arrival clearly knew the story of "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu"!

If anyone can fight against Guan Yu, who is "deified"?

In addition to Xiang Yu, Lu Bu is probably one of the strongest candidates.

Besides, this time it is not Guan Yu who needs to be targeted, but the pride of the alien race.

With Lu Bu's ability, even if he cannot be killed, at least it is enough to deal with it, and there is hope that the dilemma of the Eastern Wu Dynasty will be solved!

"I didn't expect that even Lu Fengxian has joined the Qianxia Dynasty..."

At the same time, Lu Su couldn't help but feel a little curious and confused.

After all, in his memory, although Lu Bu looked like a "vicious dog", anyone could recognize him as the master.

But in fact, he is a wolf of the desert, arrogant and ambitious, and stabbed several "adoptive fathers" for the sake of profit.

Such a person, the king of the Qianxia Dynasty was able to subdue him and even made him the most important "personal bodyguard"!

Is it because he values ​​his military power too much and even ignores his personality defects?

Or because his own power is stronger than Lu Bu, and he is sure that the other party is not capable of "rebellion"!

"Lord Xia, I wonder if Su can go to the Qianxia Dynasty for a visit and meet his old friend Kong Ming... I can report to the two gentlemen when I go back!"

Lu Su stared at Xia Tian and said.

"Of course! Mr. Zijing is a close friend of Zhuge Mansion Master, and a rare hero of our human race. The Qianxia Dynasty welcomes him."

Xia Tian smiled.

A few minutes later, in addition to Xia Tian and Wang Yangming, the people who came out of Jubao Tower, as well as Lu Su, who was dressed in purple robes and had an expectant look on his face, walked towards the "Dojo" in Longchang, where they could enter the "secret passage" of the Qianxia Dynasty.

"Well, is that place Qihuoju? It actually occupies a whole street."

However, when passing a street halfway, Xia Tian suddenly saw the three words "Qihuoju" hanging on the archway at the entrance of the entire street, which made Xia Tian stop for a while!

According to what Wang Yangming said on the road before.

As the former prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, Lu Buwei was very versatile and had three thousand diners following him...

The "Qihuoju" he established was more famous in this city of saints than Shen Sanwan's "Jubao Tower"!

After all, Jubao Tower mainly sells "things", while Qiwuju does business about "people", and the connections that can be accumulated are undoubtedly very powerful!

The most important thing is that although Lu Buwei has mixed reputations,

However, as the first businessman in history to "invest politically" and successfully obtain huge profits, his popularity is far higher than Shen Sanwan, and the quality of the people he can make friends with is obviously higher!

"However, Mr. Yangming did not take me to "Qihuoju" first, there must be a reason, right?"

Xia Tian said.

Although, it was Xia Tian himself who decided whether to go to "Jubaolou" or "Qihuoju".

But Wang Yangming first took him to "Zuixianju" which was closer to Jubaolou, which in a sense had already shown a tendency, and there were reasons for it!

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Compared to Jubaolou, which is more "pure" in business, Qihuoju has a bigger business, but it is also more complicated. Because they not only sell strange things... they are even trading in people..."

Wang Yangming explained.

"What, trading in people?"

Hearing this, Xia Tian couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Yes, Qihuoju, mainly engaged in the work of 'talent broker'."

"The main business is to help major forces to contact the talents suitable for the arrival, so that both parties can get satisfactory results..."

"Secondly, it is to sell and trade 'population' to major territories...but it is mainly for humans in other worlds, including the location of those human tribes in other worlds, and the plan to conquer them..."

"In addition, it is mainly to capture some special alien races, such as foxes, succubi, and mermaids, and even capture their princes and princesses to auction them to other human forces as slaves...These can generally be sold at a high price."

"Also, I heard that it also involves a certain amount of flesh trade!"

And this point was immediately confirmed.

Ding, Ding, Ding!

Seeing a few people, they stopped at the entrance of "Qihuoju".

The waiter at the door suddenly struck a golden gong hanging next to it, and then shouted loudly.

"Ten days later, Qihuoju will hold a new round of 'Rare Goods Auction' with a total of ten items!"

"Auction item one, deep-sea merman princess, gold rating, extraordinary five realms of cultivation, with tears turning into pearls, increasing cultivation talent, able to command sea beasts in the water..."

"Auction item two, a barbarian tribe with a population of 10,000 from another world, believing in the 'Hou Tu God', it is recommended that human forces with Hou Tu statues buy it..."

"Auction item two, the location information of the alien stone man tribe, with extraordinary strength and the ability to turn mud into stone..."

"Auction item four, fifty Shura assassins, all with extraordinary cultivation..."

"Auction item five..."

This golden bronze gong seems to have some strange properties.

Soon, it attracted many people to stop and watch.

However, Xia Tian frowned even more, and the original intention to go and take a look faded.

As a modern person, although he has always said "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts".

But the meaning of the same sentence is different from that of ancient people.

Because the "race" he mentioned refers to different races, while the ancients saw different races within the same human race!

Because the survival of ancient people was extremely dependent on production materials such as land and grasslands.

The same area has a serious limitation of the number of people that can be supported, so naturally a model of using civilization or blood as a bond to keep warm was formed!

Therefore, in the history of the human race, there has always been endless war.

However, the Eternal Land is different. The entire Eternal Land is too large, and there are survival resources everywhere. There is no need for the human race to gather together to conquer each other, but what should be done is to "unite" to jointly deal with the crisis of alien races!

But obviously, this is not something that anyone can do.

Especially in the eyes of ancient times, facing the invasion of others, either be conquered and become slaves, or conquer the other side, all males taller than the wheel are slaughtered, leaving only females to reproduce...

However, this is in conflict with the interests of the human lords.

For the lords, the population that can continuously provide "luck rewards" is even more valuable than strange objects and treasures in a sense!

Therefore, for those people from other worlds, even if Xia Tian does not treat them equally, there is not much discrimination.

Even let the white-clothed Xinxue disciples take the initiative to act as teachers for these people, and bring these people from other worlds into the big family of the Qianxia Dynasty!

Let them learn all kinds of calligraphy, painting, literature, theory, etc. created by Chinese civilization... As long as these aliens finally pass the assessment of the "Tianzi Academy" and the "Xingchen Hall".

Then they will get the same national treatment as the original personnel of the Qianxia Dynasty!

This policy actually caused a lot of controversy at the beginning, and even among the top leaders of the Qianxia Dynasty, there were certain oppositions.

After all, most races, including humans, have "classes".

The Mongols divided the conquered people into "four categories", the Qing Dynasty had "masters" and "servants", and the Han people also had the chain of "scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans"...

Even in the Qianxia Dynasty, the "merit system" was used to link people's contributions to the dynasty with the various treatments they enjoyed!

Therefore, everyone still hopes to retain systems such as "servants".

However, Xia Tian still used his decision-making power as the head of the country to pass the meeting to allow the human race from the other world to integrate into the Qianxia Dynasty.

And this point was fully supported by Zhuge Liang, the head of the government!

After all, Zhuge Liang did this in history.

Shu Han only had one state, and its population was the worst among the Three Kingdoms. In order to obtain enough soldiers, he personally conquered the Nanman and Qingqiang...

He swore a blood oath with the leaders of these tribes!

Although "Seven Captures of Meng Huo" is just a fictional thing in the novel.

But it also makes future generations feel incredible that Zhuge Liang was able to make them work wholeheartedly for Shu after conquering the alien race!

However, this is precisely because Zhuge Liang was not as hostile to the Nanman as other Han people.

Even if the other party was backward in civilization and enlightenment, he was willing to "treat them equally".

"If the Chinese race wants to eventually dominate the entire human race, it must be attentive to the policies towards all human races and gain all the people's hearts that can be obtained..."

This is what Zhuge Liang said when he was discussing matters at that time.

Of course, this kind of "ambitious" human force is only a small part after all. For profit-seeking businessmen, they don't care about such long-term interests, but only focus on the immediate benefits.

"The most important thing is that in the eyes of some people, our human race from Shenzhou is not considered "the same kind" compared to those people in the other world cursed by the gods! The other party is too clumsy, and therefore can be "fooled" completely!"

Wang Yangming said.

Even some "middlemen" will deliberately send some strong men to attack and kill these people in the other world.

Then, let the "guests" who bought these people play the role of savior, and win the "hearts of the people" of these people in one fell swoop, and everyone will be happy!

"Is that so? It's really a thorough merchant behavior!"

Xia Tian heard this, and his expression was a little serious.

He was just feeling emotional.

From the standpoint of a king, he didn't have much qualifications to blame the other party.

Because the Qianxia Dynasty itself would also use various means and measures in the process of development!

"However, doing so will ultimately lose the luck of the entire human race..."

Xia Tian shook his head.

"Compared to the Jubao Tower, which was built on a rare item, the background of Qihuoju itself is more complicated... It involves the power of many parties, not only the dynasty of China, but even some forces in Western countries... Therefore, its momentum is much greater than that of Jubao Tower..."

"That Lu Buwei is even known as the first person in the miscellaneous school, combining Confucianism and Mohism, combining the name and law, and integrating all the ways of the hundred schools... It is said that he is suspected to have stepped into the ranks of Tianjiao!"

And the expression on Lu Su's face was also a little serious.

In a sense, Shen Wansan is a relatively pure businessman, and supporting Zhang Shicheng is just a choice that must be made during a world war.

But Lu Buwei is not.

The entry he left in history is "businessman, politician, prime minister of the Qin Dynasty"!

The ostensible reason for Shen Sanwan's house being confiscated was that he had offended the imperial authority. How dare he say that he would reward the emperor with troops?

But this is undoubtedly much different than Lu Buwei's crimes.

From a businessman to the powerful prime minister of the Qin Dynasty, he even had an affair with the Queen of Qin's mother. He even raised "three thousand diners" like the four princes of the Warring States Period, and even donated Lao Ai, the "King of Wheels", to give Qin Shihuang two more The "younger brother" who is a threat to his throne.

Such a bold and shocking thing!

Although he had a life-saving grace for the father of the First Emperor, and even in a sense, the birth of the eternal emperor was largely due to the contribution of this "businessman", there was no possibility of survival.

To be honest, given Ying Zheng's character, he was not killed directly, and the three tribes were exterminated, so he was already taking special care of this "Zhongfu"!

However, existence is reasonable.

"Qihuoju" can not only be established in this human race's "City of Saints", it can even flourish and develop.

It only shows that most humans don't care about the thoughts of the "weak", especially those forces that openly fight under the guise of "human rights" and want to accuse others on the basis of justice, are just using them as tools!

"The law of the jungle has always existed before the strong. The society described by the ancient saints as a unified society for all can only be an ideal."

Lu Su sighed with emotion, seeming to be a little uninterested. Confucianism emphasizes cultivating oneself, harmonizing one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. Everyone has his own ambitions throughout his life.

I originally thought that the foundation of Soochow was enough to build a paradise in this world.

Unexpectedly, now there are internal and external troubles, and even the country cannot be protected, let alone "Great Harmony"!

"It may not be just an ideal. It just so happens that Mr. Zijing is going to visit our Qianxia Dynasty. Let's first see how our Qianxia Dynasty compares with the world of ancient Datong..."

Xia Tian said with a smile.

"That person seems to be Lu Zijing..."

When several people left, inside the "Qihuoju", a person was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe with complicated patterns embroidered on the skirt. He had a jade belt around his waist and a jade ring on his finger.

His eyes noticed Lu Su, and after a quick glance, he turned to look at the figure opposite who was wearing black clothes. He was clearly standing there but seemed to be covered by a shadow, making it completely unreal.

"Sheng Lu, please make sure to leave those 10,000 barbarians to my majesty this time... However, we need to make more clever arrangements to ensure that your majesty can directly win the hearts and minds of these barbarians..."

The figure with the ring said.

"Mr. Mi, the agenda of this auction has been set. It would be inappropriate to cancel this auction item and then put it on the shelves. And nothing can be completely flawless. If this happens, it will damage the image of Liu Guozhu... "

At the foot of the black shadow lies a creature that resembles a lion. The whole body is covered with fine silky ink-colored down, and the creature flashes with a faint light. Its ears are like two blooming ink lotus, and it seems to be able to listen and distinguish all things in the world!

"Money is not an issue. Although my Mi family is not as rich as the rest of the country, we still have a small fortune..."

"Sage Lu, our Mi family was so sorry to the Second Master that now, as a person who has almost no chance of being promoted to a saint, I still need to enter this city of saints to take care of business. I am afraid that I will never be able to step out of this city again in my life! And the second brother even became a catastrophic creature..."

"Now, if we want to completely eliminate the anger of Generals Guan and Zhang and find a way out for our Mi family, we can only give it our all and give it a try!" (End of Chapter)
