After refuting Niu Yuanjia's refutation, Dong Xiuming took a breath and began to discuss his own point of view.

"The unification of the world is a great cause for the ages, and it will be difficult to complete in three or five years. I think it is time to slowly develop the private economy internally, strengthen the people and enrich the country, especially the southern commerce, which is very profitable. Foreignly, we should unite small countries and compete with big countries. And the key figures in doing these things are not soldiers, but all the officials of my Great Zhou. If all the officials can think of the people in everything and worry about the country, within fifty years, my Great Zhou will definitely be able to unify the world..."

Dong Xiuming's view is summarized in one sentence: enrich the country and strengthen the people, unite the weak and attack the strong, and everything is slow and slow.

Compared with Niu Yuanjia's view, his view is stable and orderly.

The only downside is that there is nothing breaking the norm.

Seeing that he had finished speaking, Niu Yuanjia quickly added: "I think you are a scholar who rebelled and failed for three years. According to your idea, will the Northern Mongolian develop while we are developing? Will the Black Sweat not develop? If they will rectify the cavalry next year, can you still slow down the attack?"

Niu Yuanjia naturally would not miss the opportunity to attack Dong Xiuming.

Dong Xiuming was also a little anxious and explained: "I...I'm talking about the general situation... if there are special circumstances, it will naturally be dealt with separately!"

Hong Yuxin ignored the two and had already set his sight on Zhao Yan.

Butler Hong said with a very wink, "Young Master Yan, it's your turn to play!"

Zhao Yan nodded slightly and walked to the center of the Golden Table.

At this time, almost everyone raised their heads and looked at Zhao Yan together, including Ji Zhengqing, who had just met with the girl by the stream.

Because Zhao Yan's temperament is so unique.

Wherever you stand, it seems to be the center.

In addition, Hong Yuxin's eyes looked at Zhao Yan made many scholars envious.

Niu Yuanjia prayed in his heart: I hope this guy is just an embroidered pillow and doesn't understand the government affairs at all.

Zhao Yan looked down and then took the lead in asking a question: Can you tell me, what is the most powerful force in the world?

Everyone was stunned.

Suddenly someone whispered: Imperial power!

Many people nodded immediately to express their agreement, imperial power is supreme and irreversible.

Zhao Yan smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, it's the power of education."

ah?

Everyone in the field was puzzled. What kind of power can the power of education have?

Zhao Yan continued: "The imperial power is indeed supreme, but it cannot make the beggars on the roadside become polite, the bandits and bandits turn to justice, everyone becomes unlimited, and the people of the Northern Mongolians give up hunting and change to farming, but the power of education can be done."

"In my eyes, unification of the world is not just a conquest by force. Martial conquest is not long-lasting and will inevitably lead to another division. Conquest by education is considered a real conquest. If the people of my Great Zhou live far more than those of the Northern Mongolian people, if each of us can live a long and have a support and no longer rush for food, the happiness of life is far higher than that of the Northern Mongolian people; if we have the ability to plant food on the barren land of Northern Mongolian and let them learn to grow food, do you say that the Northern Mongolian people are willing to continue to live a hard life or want to surrender to us? If the people of other countries envy my Great Zhou people, how can we not unify the world?"

"The true unification of the world is to be influenced by the people with the power of education and guide the people of other countries to learn from our Great Zhou without fighting. By then, when our Great Zhou became the center of the world, we will complete the great cause of unifying the world."

After Zhao Yan finished speaking, everyone below was stunned.

Zhao Yan's strategy of unifying the world without fighting is simply not within the scope of everyone's perception.

This state is really too high.

At least half of the people around me didn't understand, but they knew that this was a good plan.

"This person... has the potential to become a saint!" Someone praised this.

Hong Tianshou stood up excitedly and murmured: "If His Majesty hears this, even if he doesn't participate in the imperial examination, he can still get a job!"

Once these words were said, the top spot must be Zhao Yan.

At this moment, Hong Tianshou no longer cared whether Zhao Yan offended the Xue family. Such a talented person will definitely achieve much better in the future than that of the Xue family. This is a young talent with the talent of the prime minister!

At this time, Hong Yuxin whispered a few words to Hong Tianshou and walked off the stage.

Hong Tianshou announced loudly: The top winner of the gold list this year is Baiwenzhai Yan Zhao, the second is Dong Xiuming, and the third is Niu Yuanjia.

Suddenly, there was a warm applause from below.

Zhao Yan was not very interested in the top spot, and he participated in the competition just to learn more about the thoughts of literati.

Just as he was about to step down, Hong Tianshou suddenly came to his side and smiled and whispered: "Young Master Yan, can you consider marrying into my Hong family?"

Hong Tianshou only has one daughter, so those who marry her naturally need to marry into the Hong family.

Zhao Yan was stunned. This was too direct!

"Shopkeeper Hong, I already have a marriage!" Zhao Yan said with a smile.

Hong Tianshou said without hesitation: "This is simple. Mr. Yan only needs to write a letter of divorce from his wife. My Hong family's financial resources and the appearance of the little girl must be worthy of the young master."

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, some literati divorced their wives as usual.

Just as Zhao Yan was about to continue to decline, Heiwa ran over from not far away.

He said to Zhao Yan: "Young Master, it's not good. Xue Tianyou, the governor of Shantai Prefecture, surrounded Baiwenzhai with dozens of soldiers and armor, threatening to put everyone inside into a prison."

"What then?" Zhao Yan asked.

"And...and then... because Xue Tianyou said a few ugly words, Sister Lu and his guards beat Xue Tianyou to the same appearance as Xue Huai!"

Zhao Yan was immediately a little amused. Lu Nianwei's way of dealing with the problem was really rough, but it was extremely effective.

Zhao Yan likes this simple and crude way, after all, he has no way to reason with the other party.

When Hong Tianshou heard Baiwenzhai beat the prefect Xue Tianyou again, he couldn't help but feel trembling and sighed that Zhao Yan had made a big fuss.

"Young Master Yan, you have made a big fuss, but if you are willing to marry into my Hong family, I am willing to help you!" Hong Tianshou said with a sincere look.

Zhao Yan took a deep breath and said, "Shopkeeper Hong, the one who beat the prefect Xue and the prefect Xue County Magistrate is my wife. If you don't want to get up tomorrow, you can take me to your house as your son-in-law tonight!"

Hong Tianshou was stunned and then stood there, not knowing what to say.

Zhao Yan quickly walked downstairs.

Just as Zhao Yan walked off the stage, the group of servants holding ropes next to Jinbangxi stared at him.

"My master said that he must be taken back to the house today. Even if my lady is a concubine, she will marry this young master Yan!"

"No matter what method we use, we must tie the young master Yan back. The master said that as long as the raw rice is cooked into cooked rice, we will all have a great reward!"

"The other young masters have no comparison with this young master Yan. We will follow him and take action immediately after finding an opportunity. If he doesn't want to, we will knock him out and put it in a sack and carry it back."
