The capital of the former Great Peace Dynasty was temporarily designated as the new capital of the Sky Dynasty.
This was because it was located in the center of Qingzhou, making it easier to rule the entire state from this place.
It was renamed as Sky City.
The old Sky City was used as a symbol of history site.
After all, Jerry had started from there.
In the main hall, Metis bowed and said to Jerry, who was sitting high on the throne, "Your Majesty, according to the scouts' intelligence, there are three states around our Sky Dynasty.
"They are Luzhou, Quzhou, and Hengzhou!
"And these three provinces have no empires. They are all ruled by kingdoms, so this is an opportunity for us."
Hearing Metis' words, everyone nodded. Sky Dynasty was actually quite lucky.
Like the previous Qingzhou, these states were governed by kingdoms, which meant that there were no empires yet.
This was indeed good news because these states couldn't threaten the safety of the Sky Dynasty in the near future.
"If that's the case, we'll attack directly!
"Luzhou, Quzhou, and Hengzhou. I want these three states!"
A light flashed in Jerry's eyes.
Even though these were weak kingdoms, they would each give him ten summoning opportunities after he conquered them.
If some kingdoms had strong national fortune, they would each give him dozens of summoning opportunities!
Luzhou, Quzhou, and Hengzhou were three great states.
If he occupied all of them, each state would give him hundreds of summoning opportunities.
Three states would give him more than three hundred summoning opportunities!
In fact, occupying a lot of such small dynasties was more profitable than taking a state under the rule of a big empire because taking an empire could only give him one hundred summoning opportunities.
However, the small kingdoms had different prices depending on how developed they were.
It was very likely that they would bring him more than one hundred summoning opportunities!
Of course, it wasn't that easy to come across a state like this.
It was probably because Qingzhou was a remote place in the Black Tortoise Region that those big empires didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, many small empires also meant that the situation in the state would be very complicated.
Surrounded by strong big empires, those empires naturally did not dare to rashly start a war against Qingzhou.
After all, they were afraid of being attacked by other empires while they were fighting with Qingzhou.
Jerry decided that his biggest goal now was to take down Luzhou, Quzhou, and Hengzhou, so he would obtain a large number of summoning opportunities.
In this way, Jerry would be very wealthy and his empire would be strong enough to defend other empires' invasion and even strike back!
At this moment, Plato took a step forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, although these three provinces look very tempting, our Qingzhou had been at war for the past few years, so there is not much food left.
"If we want to start a war without affecting the lives of the people, we need at least a few years of steady development."
Plato's expression was solemn. It was obvious that he had thought about it.
Hearing his words, Jerry didn't frown. Instead, he smiled faintly.
Seeing this, the ministers were surprised. Could it be that their emperor had a way to solve this problem?
But the problem of food was very difficult to solve because there were one or at most two harvest of grain each year.
Jerry saw that their curiosity, so he didn't keep them in suspense.
He told them that he could trade for goods in the public area.
After all, they were summoned here by him and were absolute loyal to him, so there was no need to keep it from them.
After all, the public area was an important factor in developing the dynasty. Through it, he could get countless resources.
When the ministers heard that there was a place where they could use resources that they did not need to exchange for the resources they needed, they were shocked.
A hot discussion began.
"Hiss, there's actually such a place?"
"If that's the case, then our sky dynasty can put lots of idle resources into use!"
"The countless rare treasures that we took from various dynasties are of no use for us."
"We can take them to that public area to exchange for the things that that we need, such as war resources," Metis said in surprise.
After all, the Sky Dynasty was wealthy with fortunes that had been accumulated for many years in Qingzhou.
However, for resources like grain, they couldn't buy it from other states. After all, those states wouldn't be so stupid as to sell food to their enemies.
"Good, you guys can talk to Christine and let her be in charge of the trade.
"After we have sufficient food, we will attack the three states and try to take them down within a year!" After Jerry said this, all the officials and generals stood up.
"We will not let you down, Your Majesty!"
Jerry nodded.
Jerry was confident in their strength.
After all, based on the Sky Dynasty's current military lineup, no one could defeat it.
Not long after, Christine returned from the public area.
Metis and the others immediately went to her.
Christine naturally would not go against Jerry's order. Immediately, she took the list made by the ministers and left the Sky Dynasty.
After all, millions of people had come from Earth to become city lords, which meant that there were millions of cities!
A small portion of them had dynasties, and the number of dynasties was still increasing. After the public area was opened, people who had been relatives and partners began to help each other, so their living conditions were much better than before. Many of them had grown stronger.
Therefore, it was not very difficult to get grain for a state-to-state war through trading.
After all, the Sky Dynasty was very rich. It had gold, silver, precious treasures, and even martial arts techniques!
The martial arts techniques that Jerry gave out were naturally of the ordinary kind. The best of them were were Level One techniques.
But in the public areas, these were all treasures!
One had to know that one of the rewards for the ten great dynasties back then was a Level One martial arts technique.
From this example, one could see how precious a Level One martial arts technique was. It was something something that ordinary people didn't have.
Hence, the Sky Dynasty stocked up its grain reserve at a great speed!
In just a few days, it got enough grain!
The war was about to begin!
