Chapter 149 Flying Chicken?
Ying Wuyou nodded slightly and explained slowly, "Father, you may not know this, but the destructive power of the economy is no less than that of real swords and spears. Through clever planning and manipulation of the economic field, we can disrupt the enemy's economic order, weaken their strength, and thus create favorable conditions for us to eventually achieve unification."
The King of Qin listened with increasing fascination and quickly asked, "Then how exactly should this economic war be waged? My son, please tell your father the intricacies."
“We can achieve the effect of subduing the enemy without fighting by controlling the economic lifeline of other countries,” Ying Wuyou explained. “For example, we can use Qin’s advantageous industries, such as silk and cement, to impose trade restrictions or dump goods on other countries, thereby weakening their economic strength. At the same time, we can also use monetary and tax policies to influence the economic development of other countries.”
The King of Qin nodded slightly in agreement.
Ying Wuyou continued, "In addition, when we cooperate with those countries, we can dispatch spies on a large scale to explore for mineral veins in them. Whether it is iron ore, copper ore, gold ore, silver ore, or even coal ore, all these mineral veins are of great importance. Once discovered, we should try every means to acquire them. At the same time, we must implement the strictest supervision and control measures for the mineral veins of our own Qin state to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
After listening, the King of Qin fell into deep thought. After a short while, a shrewd glint flashed in his eyes, and he nodded, saying, "This plan is brilliant!"
Ying Wuyou smiled slightly and said slowly, "It is too early to talk about economic warfare now. After all, the construction of economic zones will also take a lot of time. Moreover, if the cooperation in the economic zones does not go smoothly, or if one party violates the agreement, all sorts of variables may occur. In short, Father, there is no need to worry too much about this. Enhancing the strength of Great Qin itself is the most important thing."
The King of Qin nodded slightly in agreement: "Yes, that is absolutely right. Only by having sufficient strength can one remain invincible."
Ying Wuyou replied confidently, "Father, you can rest assured. With General Wang Jian and other loyal ministers and generals in charge of the court, the soldiers of our Great Qin will surely be able to maintain their strength. Furthermore, I also have some ideas on training soldiers. We can ask General Wang Jian to help test the results."
Upon hearing Ying Wuyou's words, the system suddenly spoke up: [Host, are you going to teach them modern military training methods?]
Startled by the sudden voice in her mind, Ying Wuyou asked, "System, you haven't spoken for so long, your sudden voice gave me quite a fright."
The system gave an awkward smile, chuckled twice with a slight apology, and then said, "[Hehe, host, you see, I slept for over half a month recently, and I've finally had enough sleep! I just woke up to hear that you want to train soldiers. Just give the order, and this system will arrange everything perfectly and clearly!]"
Ying Wuyou nodded and said, "Alright, in that case, go and check it out quickly. Compile the training methods for the army, navy, and air force—well, let me add the army's training methods too—and the special forces training program as well, and give it to me as well."
The system confidently replied, "No problem, host, please rest assured! The mission will be completed perfectly!"
Ying Wuyou nodded in satisfaction: 【Alright, then go and get on with it.】
Just then, the King of Qin, who had been standing quietly to the side, was startled by the system's voice and froze for several seconds. After a short while, the King of Qin came to his senses and listened to the entire conversation between the system and Ying Wuyou. When he heard the unfamiliar words "land, sea, and air," he was filled with doubt and curiosity.
"These three words don't sound hard to understand. Ocean and land go without saying, but what exactly does 'air' refer to? Does it mean that their modern world actually has an air force? That's simply unbelievable! If that's the case, how do they fight in the air? Are they really like the legendary immortals, able to ride the clouds and soar freely in the sky?" In an instant, countless questions flooded his mind, making the King of Qin's mind a complete mess.
Seeing the King of Qin frowning, his eyes slightly closed, lost in deep thought, Ying Wuyou couldn't help but speculate. He thought to himself, "The King of Qin is probably contemplating how to further enhance the strength of the Qin army, making it even more powerful and invincible."
Therefore, Ying Wuyou stepped forward and respectfully said, "Father, please rest assured, with General Wang Jian here, the soldiers of our Great Qin will surely be invincible!"
However, to Ying Wuyou's surprise, the King of Qin slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on him, and suddenly asked, "Jiayang, tell me, can a person fly freely in the air like a bird?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Wuyou's heart skipped a beat, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind. [Strange, why would Father suddenly bring this up? Could it be that he's rekindled his desire for immortality? Alas, Xu Fu is currently at my estate, so why is Father still seeking the elixir of life? Could it be that those other alchemists are secretly plotting against me? It seems I must find a way to bring all these alchemists under my control, but what excuse should I use?]
At this moment, the King of Qin seemed to understand Ying Wuyou's thoughts, and a look of both amusement and exasperation appeared on his face. After a moment's thought, Ying Wuyou quickly replied, "Father, you are wise. Those so-called alchemists are nothing but charlatans. You must not trust them! Look at Xu Fu, who dared to poison you. The other alchemists are probably spies sent by other countries. In my opinion, it would be better to hand over all these alchemists to me. I will make sure they disappear without a trace and never appear before you again, so as not to disturb your peace."
The King of Qin said with piercing eyes, "This matter has little to do with alchemists. I was just thinking that if we could have an army that could soar through the sky, then the strength of my Great Qin would surely be even greater!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Wuyou couldn't help but ponder to himself: [Air Force? Alas, airplanes are simply impossible to build with current technology, but perhaps we could try making hot air balloons as a substitute?]
However, upon hearing Ying Wuyou's thoughts, the King of Qin pondered with a puzzled expression: [A flying chicken? Chickens can fly, so why create one? Are you suggesting we forge a unique chicken that can fly higher and farther? And what is that hot air balloon?]
Ying Wuyou smiled and respectfully replied, "Father, please rest assured. I will certainly go back and study these issues carefully. Perhaps, after some diligent exploration, our Great Qin might actually be able to build its own air force!"
The King of Qin nodded slightly in agreement, and then said, "Since you need the help of those alchemists, then I will grant them all to you. I have no use for them."
Overjoyed, Ying Wuyou bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Father!"
The King of Qin nodded slightly and said, "Well, if there's nothing else important, you may leave now."
Ying Wuyou bowed again and said, "Thank you, Father. I will take my leave now." After saying this, he slowly turned around and left the palace with light steps.
