When Dongfang Longyue appeared in the imperial study, there were already a lot of books piled up in the imperial study. Seeing those books with exquisite patterns, Dongfang Longyue was slightly stunned.
This was the first time she had seen such perfectly packaged books, and the paper of those books was particularly white and the writing was particularly clear.
After seeing Dongfang Longyue enter the imperial study room, Lu Chen put down the book in his hand.
Dongfang Longyue came back to her senses, saluted quickly and said: "I pay homage to your majesty, long live your majesty!"
Lu Chen smiled faintly, and then said: "Longyue, from today on, you don't need to call yourself a slave anymore. Today you will resign as the editor-in-chief of Oriental Newspaper."
Dongfang Longyue was startled, and soon she realized that Lu Chen should have other things to entrust to her, so she quickly said: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Lu Chen continued: "I know you are a restless person, so I have no intention of letting you stay in the palace all the time. I have a very important task for you here."
Hearing Lu Chen's words, Dongfang Longyue thought in her heart that her majesty indeed had something important to entrust to her.
Lu Chen glanced at the books on the table at this time, "The contents of these books are all knowledge given by heaven. I am going to open a Daxia Royal Library, and you will be responsible for supervising the craftsmen printing these books. Each book is Print hundreds of thousands of copies, and you will be the director of the Daxia Royal Library.”
Hearing this, Dongfang Longyue was a little confused. Heaven-given knowledge?
Lu Chen continued: "The contents in these books are very important and cannot be leaked out yet."
"I understand, I must take good care of the library and will not let any of the books in the library be known to others."
Lu Chen said: "There is no need to be too strict. The books in the library are used to impart knowledge. Those who should be read by others should still be read by others. Of course, they are only for our own people to learn and use."
Lu Chen thought for a moment and then said: "I will first let some people learn the knowledge in the book, train them to become teachers, and then let these teachers teach more students."
"From now on, only these students will have access to the books in the Royal Library of Daxia."
Dongfang Longyue instantly understood what Lu Chen meant.
Having said this, Lu Chen said to the maid outside: "Go and call Commander Qin."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Having said this, Lu Chen looked at Dongfang Longyue and said, "I asked Qin Yushan to send some royal guards to assist you."
Dongfang Longyue quickly thanked and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
At this time, Dongfang Longyue asked with anxiety: "Your Majesty, I wonder if I can read these books?"
Dongfang Longyue is very curious about these "god-given knowledge". As a studious person, she also wants to learn something from these books.
Lu Chen replied: "Of course, the books in the Royal Library of Daxia are completely open to my wife, concubines and children. You can read it and learn the knowledge inside."
Dongfang Longyue thanked her again and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then Lu Chen explained to Dongfang Longyue about the library.
After Qin Yushan arrived, Lu Chen talked to Qin Yushan about the library. It was not until noon that Dongfang Longyue and Qin Yushan left the imperial study.
After lunch, Lu Chen took a short rest and then met Zhuge Chongguang.
Lu Chen wanted to ask Zhuge Chongguang what they should do next and let Zhuge Chongguang help him with his advice.
After all, Lu Chen had never done anything like unifying the world before and had little experience.
When Zhuge Chongguang came to the imperial study, he saluted Lu Chen and said, "Old minister, I pay my respects to your majesty. Long live your majesty!"
Lu Chen immediately said: "No courtesy, if you come, I will give you a seat."
The maid in charge of serving in the imperial study quickly brought a chair. Zhuge Chongguang saluted again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
When Zhuge Chongguang sat down, Lu Chen said directly: "I came to see the bachelor, mainly because I want the bachelor to help me find out what the next step should be for me." After hearing what Lu Chen said, Zhuge Chongguang instantly understood what Lu Chen meant.
Zhuge Chongguang then asked: "I dare to ask your majesty, how many heavenly beings can you mobilize around your majesty now?"
Although Zhuge Chongguang had heard that there were four heavenly beings around Lu Chen, Zhuge Chongguang still didn't know how much power Lu Chen actually had.
Lu Chen thought for a moment and replied: "For now, there are two heavenly beings who can be directly mobilized."
"But there are a total of five heavenly beings on my side. If necessary, they can come as soon as possible."
Zhuge Chongguang said: "Your Majesty has such power, he already has the ability to dominate the world."
"But for Your Majesty, the real difficulty is not to conquer the world, but to govern the world. The number of officials in Daxia is not enough to manage the entire world for Your Majesty. Once His Majesty destroys several major dynasties, he will inevitably use several major dynasties. The indigenous people manage the remote areas for Your Majesty.”
Lu Chen naturally understood this. He said: "I am indeed worried about this. Once people from other dynasties are allowed to enter Daxia's bureaucracy, then Daxia's weapons and various knowledge will also be used by several major dynasties in the future. People know that there are some people among them who pretend to surrender to Daxia. When they take Daxia’s weapons, they are likely to cause huge losses to Daxia.”
Lu Chen had read history books and knew what Qin Shihuang did secretly after he unified the six kingdoms.
He very much doubted that the remnants of the previous dynasty would quietly carry out sabotage in secret. With Daxia's weapons in hand, they would be even more harmful when they wreak havoc.
So governing the world is a big problem.
Zhuge Chongguang said at this time: "I have a question to ask Your Majesty. Is it okay?"
Lu Chen said: "If you have any questions, bachelor, just ask them directly."
Zhuge Chongguang asked: "May I ask whether your majesty will choose the kingly way or the domineering way next?"
Lu Chen was stunned when he heard this question.
He thought for a moment and then asked: "Is there any difference between the two?"
Zhuge Chongguang said: "If Your Majesty chooses to be overbearing, when you destroy other dynasties, it will also be the day when the royal families of other dynasties will die. Once Your Majesty uses the sword on the royal families of several major dynasties, this sword will continue to be used in the future. When the time comes, There will inevitably be many remnants who fight against Daxia in the name of resisting the tyrant. At that time, Your Majesty will need to keep killing until no one dares to resist Daxia.”
"If Your Majesty chooses the royal path, you can use deterrence methods to make the royal families of several major dynasties surrender voluntarily. If the royal families of several major dynasties choose to surrender, this can alleviate the hatred of the people of several major dynasties towards Daxia to a certain extent. , but this will also cause trouble. In the future, some royal members of other dynasties may be determined to restore their dynasties.”
After hearing Zhuge Chongguang's words, Lu Chen thought for a while. After Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms, he did not kill all the nobles. A large part of them were moved to Xianyang or exiled.
In the end, among the surviving nobles, there were many who thought about restoration, which was indeed a big disaster.
But if they are all killed, it is likely to leave the image of a tyrant to the people of the major dynasties. There is no way to achieve rule through complete violence.
After Lu Chen thought for a while, he said: "I decided to choose the king's way."
What Lu Chen was thinking was that after putting the royal families and nobles of the major dynasties under house arrest, if they were obedient, they would be given some benefits. If they wanted to rebel, then they would catch the role models and kill them.
Beating a stick and giving a date can not only maintain one's dignity but also make the people less afraid of him.
And he is different from Qin Shihuang. He is already a pseudo-celestial being. He can live longer than Qin Shihuang. He has enough time to spend with those royal nobles.
He can solve them slowly and one by one.
Lu Chen then said: "In the opinion of the Imperial Master, which dynasty is better to be destroyed first?"
Zhuge Chongguang did not answer directly, but said: "This matter should be easy first and then difficult. The plague is rampant in Daqian and they are at their weakest. It is easiest to destroy them at this time, but it is precisely because their plague is still there. It spreads widely, and once Daxia’s soldiers are infected, it will be a huge disaster for Daxia.”
"Dayue is humble and powerful, but there are barbarians to the north of Dayue who are eyeing her. Some time ago, the Jin Yiwei sent back the news that some kind of goddess appeared among the barbarians and unified the entire barbarians."
"If Dayue is to be destroyed, the barbarians in the north must be destroyed together. The northwest is so big that the barbarians can escape at any time. It is not easy to destroy the barbarians." (End of Chapter)
