Chapter 383: What an Advanced Idea
The reason why Nanzhao was prosperous was not only because of its abundant resources and stable climate, but also because many merchants from other countries sold their goods to Nanzhao, which then sold the overseas goods to other neighboring countries at a higher price. To use modern terms, Nanzhao was a middleman with a well-developed foreign trade.
Rong Yi continued, "Besides, if the princess grabs whatever she likes, wouldn't the powerless people of Nanzhao be in danger?"
"The Third Prince used the excuse of stabilizing the business environment of Nanzhao and giving the people an explanation to deal with the Second Princess. He was also able to gain the support of the lower-class people and businessmen from other countries."
Jiang Lili explained in great detail: "The Third Prince has every right to send troops, and the soldiers have no psychological burden, because they are fighting for justice."
“This is a legitimate reason.”
The words "fighting for justice" may sound a bit high-sounding, but in fact, fighting for justice is a very important fulcrum.
If the purpose is simply to invade, most soldiers will feel that they have done something bad, and will be afraid of retaliation, which will make them even more frightened and easily leave psychological trauma.
Xi Chengyun nodded as if he understood, the goddess and the military advisor really knew a lot. He imagined that if the second princess and the third prince fought, the third prince who was seeking justice for the low-level merchants would indeed have the advantage!
"Thank you for your hard work. Take a good rest. I'll prepare some bone soup for you to replenish your body."
Jiang Lili placed the soup bowl she brought next to Rong Yi's bed and served him a bowl of soup: "You are playing a big chess game. Let's wait for the reaction of the Third Prince."
Rong Yi took the fragrant bone soup and was so moved that he cried out: "Boss Jiang, you are so kind to me!"
Jiang Lili shook her head and sighed: "Seeing you hurt, I feel guilty!"
Rong Yi drank a mouthful of soup, and when he heard her words, he looked up at her seriously: "Boss, you don't have to feel guilty and blame yourself like this. You have allowed us to live a better life than before, and we are already very grateful."
"Although I know that you, Xin Che, Wen Qiao, and several other divine messengers all have great powers, your energy is limited and it is impossible to be all-encompassing. Even gods can't do such a thing."
His eyes were clear and his tone was steady: "As your advisers who follow you, we should also learn to judge the situation on our own and act after careful planning, instead of relying entirely on you. If you save us, we will not gain help, but will only add to your burden."
Jiang Lili was touched by Rong Yi's words. She stood there in a daze for a while and didn't say anything for a long time.
Rong Yi glanced at the bandage on his shoulder and said, "To conquer the world, there must be bloodshed and sacrifice. Besides, I only injured my shoulder. I just need to rest for a few months."
Xi Chengyun also nodded: "Goddess, you have done the best within your ability, don't feel bad about it."
"Before you showed up, we ranchers had a much harder life under the rule of the royal family. It was not uncommon for us to be tortured to death if we offended the royal family."
After returning, Jiang Lili thought a lot and was greatly inspired by Rong Yi and Xi Chengyun's words.
She couldn't bear to see any injuries or bleeding. In a stable and prosperous modern society, going to the hospital if injured was considered a big deal for modern people like them.
In ancient times when the mortality rate was extremely high, being oppressed to death by the powerful, freezing to death, starving to death, burning, killing, and looting were all common occurrences.
It is impossible to push the ancient times into the modern times with stable order all at once.
After Xin Che and the Xin family army who had brought the sheep back learned about the situation and returned to the room, they saw Jiang Lili sitting cross-legged on the bed, chin propped up, thinking.
The girl frowned and pursed her lips. The candle in the room cast her shadow on the wall. She looked quiet and well-behaved.
He rarely saw such a serious expression on Jiang Lili's face.
Xin Che walked up to Jiang Lili, squatted down, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you upset about your sheep being stolen?"
Jiang Lili saw Xin Che and told him everything that happened when she went to see Rong Yi just now.
Xin Che listened to her rambling narration patiently. At the end, he stroked Jiang Lili's head with his broad palm and said, "They are right. You have done very well."
Xin Che had heard Jiang Lili introduce the modern world they came from, where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, there were detailed laws and regulations, and there was developed transportation...
After seeing such an advanced world, the gap between the world they live in now and that of Li Li should be huge. He could also see how eager Li Li and her friends were to change the world.
"Don't be anxious, take your time."
Xin Che took Jiang Lili's hand and said, "More haste, less speed."
"Hasn't your world also gone through hundreds and thousands of years of baptism to become as advanced and peaceful as it is today?"
"Everyone and everything in this world has their own cause and effect. You don't have to put all the responsibilities on yourself. This will make you very tired."
Xin Che imitated the modern words that Jiang Lili used when communicating with her friends and soothed her, "Can you think less? You are changing the world, and that's a very cool thing."
Jiang Lili rarely saw Xin Che talking so much. His handsome eyes were full of patience and tenderness, which made people's heart move.
She threw herself into Xin Che's arms, hugged his waist, and suddenly felt very secure.

late at night.
In the third prince's room.
Master Liao yawned while sitting on the luxurious cradle customized for him by the Third Prince. He did have some questions to ask the Third Prince, but he didn't expect that the Third Prince was more anxious than him!
Master Liao was drowsy, his head nodding forward as if he was fishing: "Disciple, why did you steal me from the guest room in the middle of the night?"
Sheng Qingyun scratched the edge of the cradle with his claws, revealing a pair of expectant and clear eyes: "Master, I can't see you at this moment, I'm panicking, but I'm afraid you are just an illusion created by my fever."
Master Liao's scalp was numbing when he saw Sheng Qingyun's burning eyes. It was outrageous. He had only seen children sticking to adults, but had never seen adults sticking to children!
Never mind, if that's the case, let me ask you something serious: "My disciple, didn't you cut off your worldly ties and devote yourself to seeking immortality? Why are you still fighting for the throne with your elder brother and second sister?"
After hearing Master Liao's question, Sheng Qingyun thought for a moment and expressed his ambitions: "Not only do I want to become an immortal myself, I also want to sit on the throne and lead the people of Nanzhao to cultivate immortality with me, so that I can live a hundred years and be immune to all poisons!"
Master Liao immediately came to his senses after hearing this: Huh???
What a forward-thinking idea?
You are quite a nice person!
Master Liao was stunned for a moment, then asked stiffly, "Why?"
"If all my people become immortals, then which country in the world can defeat us?"
Sheng Qingyun became more and more passionate as he spoke. He felt that his ambition was simply genius-level: "The Emperor of Dasheng dares to ask us to pay tribute at every turn?"
"My Nanzhao people have all become immortals, no one dares to attack, so I can rest assured and concentrate on my cultivation."
