After a period of time, the King City of Qufu was no longer the gate tower, but the main hall used by the king of Lu to receive foreign ministers. Ji Congyou occupied the main seat and Li Huai served on the list. Several roles such as Han generals and eunuchs were also listed in the hall.

One after another, the announcement sounded outside the hall. From far to near, Ji Congyou couldn't help feeling. How many years has the king of Lu not taken himself as the master to meet foreign ministers here?

In the past, the heads of aristocratic families such as Xiao Guang would also paste a layer of paste to let the kings of Lu meet foreign envoys here as kings, but that's what they look like. In this hall, the king of Lu has always been a puppet.

It is Xiao, Wang, Lin and other aristocratic family leaders who really determine Lu's attitude towards the outside world. This time, Ji Congyou can be the master of the family.

Not to mention Ji Congyou's complex thoughts and imaginative thoughts. All those who can be in this hall, whether acting as a faceless Han general or a eunuch, have long been loyal to Ji Congyou. These internal ministers are quite excited, and some are more excited than Ji Congyou.

When the news sounded again, the three of them had been led into the hall by the eunuch outside the door. The first was a young man of about 30 years old. Even if he often ran to the sea and his skin was a little dark, it was still difficult to hide his domineering and sense of power.

"Foreign minister Ding Zhenwu, pay a visit to his Highness the king of Lu."

The first young man's words, coupled with the humble and unassuming worship etiquette, immediately cheered Ji Congyou's spirit and said with a laugh, "Ding Zhenwu? Ha ha, I didn't expect that the Haoshang in Qufu was Prince Liu Guojiu."

"Your Highness nine doesn't need to be polite. You and I are both Chinese and Miao people, born in the royal family, and have admired your highness nine for a long time."

For more than 300 years in the state of Lu Guoli, before Li Yuanshu and others came into contact with Xianyuan, the royal family had long been a paper card with no sense of existence and authority. For more than 200 years in the state of Liu, the royal power was still very stable. The reason was very simple. When the royal power of the state of Liu was about to decline and lose, two tyrants emerged and ZTE regained the royal power.

It really depends on luck. Let's say that the great Tang Empire, when Su Heng just arrived, didn't the 95 year old emperor of the Tang Dynasty also control 30000 forbidden guards, and was repeatedly suppressed in the struggle with gentry and nobles and new capital nobles.

When the imperial power declined, several people who were not able to do well declined step by step. In contrast, the great commercial empire had a male Lord in times of crisis, and Su Heng had a stable imperial power when he came.

Whether your next generation of heirs have sufficient ability is indeed one of the key factors for a country to prosper again. Let's say that if Su Heng had not intervened in the state of Zhao, He Jian, who is 31 years old, might eventually crush Jiang Shiwu and incorporate Gao Zhen, making the state of Zhao a new small sea overlord as long as He Jian didn't die.

One of the tyrants of ZTE Liu is the grandfather of Ding Zhenwu, now the ninth prince. The other is more distant

It is also a royal family of Chinese Miao descent, but to be honest, before Li Yuanshu came to Qufu, Ji Congyou, the king of Lu, and Ding Zhenwu, his highness Liu Guojiu, were not at the same level.

Ding Zhenwu, the left Prime Minister of the state of Lu like Xiao Guang, is one of the real masters of the state of Lu. When facing each other, he should also be polite and kind to his highness Ding Jiajiu.

Why? Why did the Tang family, the king of Xiuyan before Xiuyan Prefecture, not necessarily have the same scenery as the current king Liu, but the Tang family is only the younger brother of Xiao Guang's Xiao family circle, and the head of the Xiao family should be polite to his highness Liu Guojiu?

The reason is very simple. Liu Guofu is not rich enough. The total plain area of all the islands is less than that of Xiuyan state. The total population is only more than one million, which is not comparable to that of Xiuyan state

Talking about glory, wealth and pleasure, Tang Qianrang of the Tang family is better than Liu WANGDING Yongzhi now, but talking about force... That's the head of a profiteering bandit group.

Or a guy with a lot of words!

Tang, the former Xiuyan king of Xiuyan Prefecture, can easily pull out tens of thousands of private soldiers of Ding, but Ding Yongzhi, the son of Liu, has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his name!

Wonderful? Nearly one tenth of the population in a country are soldiers? It's not strange at all, because the state of Liu is the army of the whole people. The older generation robbed the whole world with their hands. They don't touch the country composed of Chinese and Miao descent, but only the country composed of Roman descent. Have they been old for half their life?

Your children and grandchildren have grown up and continue to follow the new generation to carry their children and plunder the world.

Liu Guomin, only the old, the weak, the women and the children will do some farming, build and repair battle armor and swords. The strong men are the guys who fly on the ship and attack the city and pool on land all year round.

Such Liu Guo is doomed to be bloodthirsty in his bones. Even, Liu Guo openly recruits strong men from other countries. He can't get along honestly and likes to take risks? Or take the mountain as the king and fall into the sea as the enemy? Hit by the authorities?

It doesn't matter. Vote for us Liu Guolai, carry the handle and take you to carry forward this glorious career. Then you will be serious officers and soldiers.

Such a Liu state adheres to the basic national policy of not Robbing Chinese and Miao people, and its positioning is deeply appreciated and loved by the maritime countries such as the state of Lu and the state of Zhao.

There is no way not to like Liu, who has no strong production capacity and depends on looting. The looted wealth can only be sold to Lu, Zhao and so on in exchange for food, cloth, knives, guns and armor. Then, Liu is equivalent to the little brother of Lu, Zhao and so on.

Robbery is profiteering? In fact, being in the rear of the town controls the productivity and makes Liu Guo a dumping market for countries such as Lu and Zhao. The interests of the latter are no less than robbery.

Therefore, the powerful Liu Wang Ding Yongzhi seems to have the same power and wealth as the Tang family, the king of Xiuyan. In fact, his deterrent power is far better than the Tang family. With 100000 sea and land troops in hand, he is not only an old man within the country, but also an old mob who has survived fighting for decades, which makes it impossible for everyone to ignore Ding Yongzhi's right to speak.

Ding Yongzhi's greatest luck is that he has a good father. The last generation of King Liu was able to give Zhongxing a prosperous tyrant to break the marginal Dynasty.

Therefore, even if Ding Yongzhi is a middle-aged man, he is only a conservative king. He has done well in recent decades, but Ding Yongzhi is also lucky. After giving birth to a pile of sons, several of his sons are well-known by relying on the traditional wolf raising strategy.

His highness Ding Zhenwu is one of them. His highness Ding Zhenwu's most glorious war was that he led dozens of large ships and 20000 navies four years ago. In the first war, he killed 30000 navies in ventra. The other side was almost completely destroyed, while his highness nine's command only lost an adult horse.

Naval battles in this era are often those in which you bombard me and you across hundreds of meters. The artillery level is not good. It may bombard for half a day and achieve few results.

Last time, the Xiao family's caravan won a big victory by relying on a group of artillery kings borrowed from big merchants. Liu Guo doesn't have so many top artillery in the big business empire. It's really enough to spread all over the world if he can do such a battle.
