When Jian Wu heard that Cao Mo was about to see Yunyao, he thought a lot and replied: "I know that she is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but if we want to see her, we can do it anytime."

"Then lead the way."

Jian Wu naturally had no problem: "Come with me." It was like taking the Japanese into the village, walking in front without hesitation.

Yunyao said that Jian Wu really regarded Guan Zhong's family as his own. He came to him every few days and said that he had enough guidance. Not only did he ask him to go to Yuelai Inn to learn cooking skills, but he also told him what he didn't understand. Why did he always come to him? He won't like him anymore, right?

Although Yunyao reduced her appearance and concealed her fairy spirit, she did not vilify herself too much and was still an ordinary woman who could live up to her. If Jian Wu was a bachelor, it would be possible to chase her.

Fortunately, Jian Wu did not want to pursue Yunyao, but just brought a stranger to see her.

"This is Cao Mo, a great swordsman from Lu State. He kidnapped Xiaobai and regained the occupied city in Lu State." Jian Wu grandly introduced the character who appeared in history textbooks.

Yun Yao knew it and was also respectful to the other party, but he didn't know what they were looking for him to do? Should he ask himself to give advice to Lu and fight against Qi?

"It's so thunderous, and today I'm really a heroic figure." When Yunyao saw Cao Mo's fierceness, he knew that he was a martial arts genius who was rare in a century. She also heard of the deeds of Cao and Cao Mo brothers. She knew that they had made outstanding contributions to assisting Lu in resisting Qi. However, Lu was really not powerful, innately lacking, and meat eaters were despised. Therefore, although the two brothers hoped that a strong country and strong soldiers would fight against Qi, it was obviously difficult to do it.

Personal power seemed so powerless before the times. Yunyao still remembers that Lu State was just established, and it was the star of the East, and Zhou Li's foothold in the East. But three hundred years later, Qi was strong and Lu was weak. Although Cao Gui won the Battle of Changshao and Cao Mo helped to retrieve the lost land, the gap between strength and weakness continued to widen. Even the king of Lu State went to the Qi Dynasty to attend the Qi Dynasty's Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony. It is conceivable how big the psychological gap between the people of Lu is.

When communicating with these Lu people in Qi, Yun Yao could also clearly feel their confusion and doubts. He didn't understand why his national strength was weaker even though he had done nothing wrong?

"I look for you because I hope you can go back to Lu." Cao Mo was also very direct: "My elder brother said that you have the talent to save the world, so you should not stay in Qi."

Yun Yao smiled modestly, thinking to himself that he had stopped the economic war of "Lu Buying White"? Why did he become a talent for saving the world? "I dare not, Lu has a lot of talents, so I dare not say what kind of talent for saving the world."

"My elder brother said that it is a loss for Lu when you stay in Qi." Cao Mo said, "So you have to go back."

Yun Yao asked the other party to sit down and said, "I have already told everyone that in Qi, we can also help Lu. Jian Wu can testify this. And I think the problem of Lu's current state is not the lack of talents, but the innate shortcomings in development of Lu. I can make bold speculation that several powerful countries in the future will rise from the edge of the Central Plains. Qi is just the first, Chu, Jin, and Qin will become powerful countries one after another."

"They all border the barbarians." Although Cao Mo was just a swordsman, he had a brother who was concerned about the major affairs of the world. He also knew the distribution of various countries. He immediately realized that the geographical locations of the four countries of Qi, Chu, Qin and Jin were respectively in the southeast, northwest and north, wrapping up the entire Central Plains.

"That's right, because of the border, it is still martial, and because of the border, it can expand its land externally. Unlike the vassal states inside the Central Plains, which are completely surrounded, dead, stagnant, and have no vitality. Only because of pressure can we seek innovation, change, and strength. After the surrounding great powers become stronger, we will compete in the Central Plains in turn. The Central Plains is just a dining table." Yun Yao was not worried about spoilers at all, because some things are open conspiracies, whether they say it or not, they develop in this way, and the objective environment determines this.

Countries that border barbarians will definitely become stronger first, and then Central Plains countries that receive threats from border countries will also begin to reform, and there will be such a process of spreading.

During the Warring States Period, Mencius would propose the saying that he was born in distress and died in peace, which actually means similar to what Yun Yao said.

Cao Mo was shocked because he found that Yunyao's way of looking at problems was completely different from that of his elder brother. He saw the entire Lu Kingdom, and Yunyao saw the entire world. The elder brother tried his best to be strong, but Yunyao had already seen the trend of changes in the world in the future.

"Then what you mean is that Qi's national policy of 'respecting the king and expelling the barbarians' was actually to solve the problem of the Nine Barbarians faced by Qi, not Qi wanted to replace the Zhou emperor?" After hearing Yun Yao's words, Cao Mo extracted the conclusion that Qi became stronger because of the threat of the Nine Barbarians.

"It can be said that although Jiang Taigong's 'simplification of etiquette according to customs' greatly stabilized the relationship between Dongyi and Qi, the threat has not been eliminated. Therefore, Qi did doze by the fire and would be burned if he was accidentally fired. They definitely hoped to solve the problem once and for all. Now Qi is strong and has the opportunity, he must seize the opportunity."

"Then does our country of Lu really have no future?"

"Yes, isn't it always a task for Lu's country to spread the Zhou rituals? The Lu people are not familiar with each other, so no one dares to say they are familiar with each other? When we Lu people make an appointment in the reed marsh, young people from other countries are still climbing over the fences to meet. Our Lu country has absolute advantages in culture, so although Qi is strong, Lu people can use their advantages to borrow chickens to lay eggs, and make money in Qi to support Lu, right?"

Cao Mo thought to himself that's the reason? He always felt a little strange, so he asked, "Shouldn't we build an army first?"

"Is Lu rich? Is the king willing to take the lead in saving money to build cars and cast swords? Is Lu rich in buying feed and raising war horses, and does he have money to cast armor?" He has to burn money to build arms.

Obviously, none of these countries in Lu are there.

Yunyao continued: "We must make money first, and then return to Lu to promote iron and agricultural tools, change the well-field system, and increase the land output, and then find ways to strengthen the army and the country."

Since you don’t want to save money, you can only find a way to make money. Now it is the most efficient to make money by holding Qi’s thighs. Therefore, Yunyao proposed a development idea of ​​first completing the original accumulation, then developing efficient agriculture, and finally developing arms. This is the best way to develop development, of course, the premise is that the whole country of Lu is united.

Seeing that Yun Yao had even thought about every step, Cao Mo couldn't find any problem. He suddenly felt that his elder brother was really a clever plan and had a keen eye to recognize the pearl, but unfortunately he died young. So he felt that Yun Yao should return to Lu: "I think you should return to Lu. If you go back, you will definitely be able to unite Lu, and even the king will definitely listen to you."

Yun Yao thought to himself that he had been in Lu for three hundred years and had finally gone abroad, so why did the people of Lu want to go back? Let's change the topic: "You are here too. I hope to find thirty people of Lu who are familiar with Zhou Li, preferably who can memorize it backwards, which is useful."

Jian Wu looked embarrassed: "There is no Lu people in the entire Qi State who are in love with Zhou Li. Aren't you making things difficult for us?"

"In short, the more familiar you are with Zhou Li, the better. The number of people cannot be less than thirty."

"What are you going to do?"

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, it is not yet announced." Successfully changed the topic, but Yun Yao did have an experiment to try.
