Throne of Vientiane Civilization

Although eggs are no longer a rarity in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they are a rare "tonic" for the people who live in poor conditions and have two meals a day, mainly steamed buns and pickles.

The temptation of eggs soon showed up. Compared with the few days before when they gave speeches and almost no one came, today this open space is crowded.

Fortunately, their minister contacted the security team in advance to maintain order, otherwise the scene might really get out of control.

However, looking at the crowded scene, the members below did not seem very happy.

"What's wrong? You all look sad?"

Kong Daqian saw that his subordinates were worried, and he said a concerned word.

"Minister, is this really a good idea?"

"What?"

"Give them boiled eggs."

"What's wrong with giving boiled eggs? Our Propaganda Department already has propaganda funds, and it won't be deducted from your salary."

"It's not a matter of money. To put it bluntly, aren't these people here for boiled eggs? They're not here for our national religion."

Hearing this, Kong Daqian was immediately happy, thinking, 'Young people are still naive.'

"Think about it, the workers are so tired from working every day, and they just want to have a good rest after get off work. You want them to give up their rest time to listen to you. Is it useful for you to just talk? You have to give them some visible and tangible benefits."

"Only in this way will they sit down and listen to you, and only in this way will you have the opportunity to express the thoughts and spiritual concepts of our national religion, and even instill them in them."

Kong Daqian's position as the Minister of Propaganda is indeed not in vain, and he is becoming more and more adept at doing related work.

"They are indeed here for boiled eggs now, but today, after listening to our speech, there will always be a few people who listen to it and even agree with the ideas of our national religion. In this way, they can begin to influence other people around them, so that the ideas of our national religion can continue to spread."

In the New North District, this missionary activity called "national religion" was undoubtedly arranged by Zhou Xu.

For sects, most people do not have a good impression of them, and instinctively think that they are not good things.

But in fact, it is not the case. To put it bluntly, a sect is an organization that spreads ideas, and the focus is on what ideas to spread.

Is there a problem with me forming a scientific religion and focusing on believing in science?

No problem!

Any organization that spreads ideas can actually be called a sect.

And the idea spread by the national religion created by Zhou Xu can be simply summarized as "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, serving the country, and fighting for the prosperity of the Great Zhou!"

The reason why he came up with the idea of ​​creating a national religion was because he felt that people's desires began to expand.

In the past, as long as the people had something to eat, they would follow you wholeheartedly and work for you diligently.

But as the food problem in their Great Zhou was completely solved and living conditions continued to improve, he soon realized that just having something to eat would gradually make the people loyal to you.

They began to want more and better things, and this idea would continue to expand, almost endlessly!

Take the people in Xinbei District at this stage. They have food and clothes, and don’t need to worry about their livelihood, but there are still many people who will complain about life in private and feel dissatisfied with everything around them.

In wartime, these people are hidden dangers.

He can’t always meet the people’s ever-increasing needs. No one can do this.

For this reason, he needs a better way, that is, thought.

For a civilization, unified thought is the most solid foundation!

By the way, on the spiritual level, meet some of the spiritual needs of the people and give them some spiritual sustenance and comfort.

In this way, starting from Xinbei District, the national religion came into being.

At the same time, because the duties of the Propaganda Department and the National Religion are both to do propaganda work for the Great Zhou, and the functions overlap, Zhou Xu also merged the Propaganda Department into the National Religion, making it a subordinate department of the National Religion, which can be regarded as a disguised way to save manpower costs.

The highest leader of the National Religion is Zhou Xu himself.

Recently, pigeons can be used to send letters from Xinbei District to Xinnan District, which also allows Zhou Xu to obtain news from Xinbei District with higher efficiency, which makes him feel relieved.

The low efficiency of communication is really fatal. The invasion of the greenskin troops before is the most typical example.

After the territory is large, if he can't receive news in time, he will always feel uneasy. Now he can feel a little more at ease.

At the same time, according to the latest report, after Kong Daqian arrived in Xinbei District, the activities of the National Religion Propaganda Department there were also very smooth, which made Zhou Xu basically relieved and focused on the work at hand.

After simply handling the morning's official duties, Zhou Xu took advantage of his lunch break to study his "Dragon Lord" class panel.

He has not studied the truth recently.

Seeing that this summer is coming to an end, when the season enters autumn, according to the usual practice, the ratmen in the southern border should take action.

In order to improve his chances of winning, he must save the power of the truth in his body and use it to upgrade the lizardmen's military projects.

Maintaining this state, summer will soon pass and autumn will come.

Saying goodbye to the hot summer, with the gradual drop in temperature, the Great Zhou ushered in another year of autumn.

This is the season of autumn harvest, and also the season for Zhou Xu to mobilize troops!

According to the original plan, he will mobilize the ratmen in the early spring of next year. For this reason, the recruits recruited at the beginning of the year must now prepare to set off for the southern border.

After almost two quarters of training, they should also go to the battlefield to see blood.

As for the candidate to lead the troops...

From experience, Li Ce should be the best choice.

But Zhou Xu's idea is not so.

"Pass my order, order Bai Tu to be the commander of the new recruits, lead the army to the south, cooperate with Soros to fight against the ratmen, and participate in the expedition after the beginning of spring next year."

"The centaur troops led by Drogo will be transferred to the plain fortress in the new north district for garrison, and Drogo will be appointed as Shi Lei's deputy general to assist Shi Lei in guarding against the threat of the greenskin troops on the other side."

"At the same time, appoint Li Ce as the commander-in-chief of the new south district and take office immediately!"

Three orders in a row, Zhou Xu's thinking is very clear.

In terms of experience in fighting ratmen, Thoros, now the commander-in-chief of the southern border, is not much behind. If Li Ce goes there, the two generals will just get together. There will be two voices in one army, and the effect may not be good.

Under this premise, considering the action in the early spring of next year, Bai Tu, who is good at attacking cities and strongholds, will undoubtedly be more advantageous in this action.

As for the centaur troops led by Drogo...

There are already speed dragon cavalry and trap camps in the southern border. In comparison, the plain fortress does not have a strong enough cavalry unit to sit there. It is necessary to transfer them to enhance the garrison force just in case.

"By the way, Silk, do you think you should let John and others go to the southern border to accumulate some experience?"

Although I don't expect these 100 wood elves to have much combat effectiveness, the experience that should be accumulated still needs to be accumulated.

Faced with Zhou Xu's proposal, Silk nodded after a slight hesitation.

"I think it's okay."

"Well, appoint John as Bai Tu's deputy general, lead the wood elf 100-man team, and set off with the new recruits!"

"Yes!"
