In the middle of the village, Zhang Lie and his three companions were sitting cross-legged on the ground, staring at the night sky where no stars could be seen.

Martin was dangling the knife in his hand out of boredom, and complained:

"Captain, why don't you wait until dawn in the house instead of running outside?"

"I couldn't bear to look at the corpse, and I couldn't bear the desperate look in the villager's eyes."Zhang Lie closed his eyes and recalled the previous scene.

"Tsk, so pretentious." Martin started to play with death,"If you ask me, Captain, you are just trying to escape. I have never seen such a murderous nature in you. You can't even stand the sight of corpses. You are just kidding."

But Zhang Lie rarely took action:"Maybe you are right. I am pretentious, but I could always find reasons to kill people in the past. Killing is to protect life. After all, we still have to respect life."

When Martin heard him say this, he suddenly thought of his sister, whose life and death were unknown. Even if she was alive, she didn't know where she was. He suddenly lost interest in talking.

I don't know how long it had been. Because they were wrapped in fog, they couldn't see the sky and couldn't tell the time. Unknowingly, the sky had brightened.

The villagers hadn't left the room yet, but a man came from a distance. He looked very thin.

When the man came closer, he didn't introduce himself and said directly:"Follow me."

Zhang Lie opened his eyes and also said nothing, following the man.

Martin followed beside him with a knife in both hands, staring at the guy. If he made any unusual movement, he would cut him into pieces immediately.

The man came to the fog wall and stepped into it without any pause. Zhang Lie paused and saw that the other party turned his head to look at him. After a little hesitation, he was about to go in.

Martin hurriedly grabbed Zhang Lie's arm:"Be careful of traps!"

"It doesn't matter, Hayward doesn't have to use such tricks." Zhang Lie shook his head and stepped in.

The other three looked at each other, stepped forward, protected Zhang Lie in the middle, and each stood in a corner to be on guard.

However, as they moved forward, they did not encounter any attacks along the way, and even did not see any wild beasts. It was obvious that they had been cleared by Hayward. After

Zhang Lie entered, the fog that permeated everywhere on the island began to flow. Except for the outermost part of the island, the rest all gathered towards Zhang Lie's position.

Soon, a nearly substantial fog ball was formed there, and it was still condensing.

But in the eyes of Zhang Lie who was in it, the fog began to gradually fade, and a row of figures were sitting on the ground. There was a chair right in front of these people, and they seemed to be waiting for this person to come.

At this time, the person who led the way pointed to the chair and said,"Sit down, discuss, teach"

"?"Zhang Lie's head was full of question marks. He didn't know what this guy was up to."It's not a good habit to speak out one word at a time."

However, he understood the word"sit". He walked over and sat on the chair. Then he heard the other side speak

"We used to be noble ministers of the former Kingdom of Ticade, and now we would like to ask you for advice on how to govern the country."

"Governing the country? This island?" Zhang Lie turned around and pointed behind him, and finally gave up the argument,"Okay, ask it."

The man did not have any dissatisfaction with Zhang Lie's tone, and continued to speak slowly:

"Governing a country, of course, is to make it better, richer, stronger, safer, what do you think?"

People are more or less like to teach others, Zhang Lie also planned to say something casually, and end this trial early:

"The most important things for a country are force, order, education, economy, and future. Of course, the force is the army, and there needs to be at least one strong person as the cornerstone."

Just when I said this, the surrounding environment suddenly changed. The thick fog suddenly disappeared without a trace, and I was in the air. The ground was a military base.

Then a person appeared on a high platform, and below was a full army, each holding a weapon, as if listening to a lecture.

"Wow, this is an attempt to simulate using illusions, quite interesting." Zhang Lie looked down, holding his chin with one hand, and continued:

"Weapons depend on the economy, let's not worry about that for now. First of all, continuous high-intensity training is needed to make the soldiers strong enough."

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers on the parade ground became noticeably stronger.

"The initial stage is enough. There is a strong man to protect you. Anyway, you already have one, the guy who is making things difficult for me. Next is the economy, which is the foundation of everything."

Fortunately, a lot of knowledge in this world is interconnected with the earth, so there is no need to explain what the economy is.

"The economy is divided into three types. One is agriculture, which is the foundation of security and cannot rely on the outside. According to the population size here, more than half of the land must be used to grow food.

Then there is industry. I think shipbuilding is good. This place is not on the seven major waterways, so you must have your own shipbuilding capabilities so that you don’t rely too much on the outside.

For shipbuilders, you can go to the Sea Breeze Kingdom or the City of the Queen of Spring to learn. It should be no problem to pay a little price.

Then build sea ships, form caravans, resell goods between islands, and transport materials to the country.

Then rely on the money and materials accumulated during this period to transform the country, such as building an amusement park.

Then use this illusion ability to attract tourists and drive the development of the entire industry chain of food, accommodation, and entertainment."

With every word Zhang Lie said, the environment below changed, from the shipyard to the caravan, and then to the amusement park, and finally the island became more and more lively and prosperous.

As for other things like inflation, macro or micro regulation, wealth redistribution and so on, Zhang Lie didn't even mention them.

One is that he is only here to deal with the trial, and the other is that this so-called country is too small. In the previous world, it is not even the size of a town, so it is not needed at all.

Zhang Lie continued:"The economy needs to be protected by force and maintained and developed by knowledge. While the economy is developing, the strength of the army must be strengthened and education must be popularized.

Weapons should be updated, more advanced weapons should be purchased, schools at all levels should be established, tutors should be hired, or the state should fund students to study abroad.

As for order, it is natural to formulate appropriate laws. Of course, it is necessary to popularize them among the people. There must also be a military agency to maintain the law, and the army can be allowed to work part-time, so there will generally be no problem."

The illusion kept changing, and the final result was the same as Zhang Lie had imagined. After all, although he had not learned systematically, he had lived in this environment for more than 20 years, so he still knew what to do.

As for these nobles, to be frank, it is a small probability for the hereditary system to produce talents. In Zhang Lie's opinion, these things that everyone knows are beyond their cognition.

After Zhang Lie finished speaking, he looked around and finally asked,"That's all. Do you have any questions?"

""Um... um... no problem." The man stuttered back.

Zhang Lie wanted to ask something else, but found that the person in front of him suddenly disappeared, the illusion stopped, and the surroundings turned foggy again.

"I can't feel any problem at all, it's very troublesome." Zhang Lie, who was very interested just now, now looked ugly.

At this time, the person who led the way came over again, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction he came from:"Let's go."

Zhang Lie's expression returned to normal, he stood up and followed the man in the direction he came from.

In a place in the center of the island, a person sat in a wheelchair, his face full of thought:

"Although I don’t quite understand it, it sounds very impressive. Let’s see what you are going to do next."
