Chapter 455: 231: The Eighth Year of Promoting Taoism_2

And the scholars from other countries who come to Changsha and work for Changsha Nation will, in essence, weaken the talent reserves of other nations.

In this way, abundant talents can contribute to the building and development of their own country. Meanwhile, other countries are in a talent shortage, lacking excellent talents to govern, which leads to a decline in national strength.

Under such circumstances of mutual depletion without waging war, other nations are gradually weakening themselves.

Regarding such tactics of subduing people without fighting, Lu Yuan is naturally happy to employ them.

Moreover, the scope of this imperial examination is not limited to the three countries of Southsea, Ninghai, and Changsha. The newly developed six prefectures in the north of the river, and even the two countries of Xichuan that are about to be founded, can be included in the selection of officials.

As long as the elites from these regions are incorporated into the ruling system, people’s hearts in these newly developed territories can be naturally won over.

Even the hearts of the scholars within the two countries of Xichuan can be won over in this way.

“I just don’t know whether Jihui and Qiao Kangquan will, like Yan Wangqiu and Su Xuange, repel the scholars in their countries and let me take advantage.”

Lu Yuan thought to himself, but he had already decided that in due course, he would look for opportunities to test the waters.

However, in his estimation, Qiao Kangquan’s side may be unpredictable.

After all, they were born to aristocratic families and had close ties with the government, so they naturally knew the role of the literati. Thus, trying to gain talent from them may be somewhat difficult.

But on Jihui’s side, it should be much simpler.

After all, their identity is special, as they are a monk of a Buddhist sect’s holy place and wants to establish a Buddhist country.

For such a Buddhist country, literate people would naturally be indifferent, even hostile and disgusted.

Similarly, the rule of such a Buddhist country would rely on faith and precepts, not laws and ethics.

The role of literati in a Buddhist country is actually not significant.

Thinking from this angle, more could be done on Jihui’s side.

Lu Yuan took note of this, and the last line in his hand was also finished. He called his personal guard and sent several letters to various places. His hands were finally free.

Now that the army was resting and there were not many military affairs for the time being, Lu Yuan continued to cultivate the Taiping Dao Book in his leisure time.

In recent days, as local officials at all levels in Changsha in the rear took office, local production gradually resumed, and the people lived peacefully and happily, the qi luck gathered around him became more abundant.

During the Northern Expedition, Lu Yuan achieved continuous victories and not only defeated enemy troops but also killed strong enemies. In addition, he expanded three prefectures and won over hundreds of thousands of people.

This harvest further increased his Qi luck.

It has been only a month since the Northern Expedition, but his qi luck has increased by as much as 30% compared to before the expedition.

This additional 30% qi luck is reflected in his rapid progress in cultivation.

At present, the power he accumulates in his body, including the two previous encounters with the Inborn Grandmasters and the energy consumed during those, is enough for Lu Yuan to use eleven Dao techniques.

This growth is extremely gratifying.

Lu Yuan has profound experience in the power of Dao techniques.

Even the weakest Dao technique is as powerful as a full-strength attack from a first-stage Inborn Grandmaster.

Since it is a full-strength attack, even an Inborn Grandmaster cannot perform it many times as it consumes a lot of True pneuma.

At any rate, with Lu Yuan’s current True pneuma, he can only use his martial arts external body six or seven times with full strength.

Afterwards, his True pneuma would be exhausted, and he would fall into a weakened state.

So from this perspective, Lu Yuan’s current accumulation of Dao techniques is equivalent to two Inborn Grandmasters.

Of course, one cannot only look at one aspect.

First of all, such a full-strength attack, even among Inborn Grandmasters, is used to decide victory or defeat only after a protracted battle and when the enemy’s weakness is exposed.

It is impossible to use it in normal combat.

Because when the enemy is prepared, even if you attack with full strength, they can avoid and defend, blocking most of the damage, and it is impossible to kill them in one blow.

So relying on a dozen Dao techniques to forcibly kill an Inborn Grandmaster is extremely difficult, if not impossible.

But even so, with these Dao techniques, even without using martial arts strength and relying only on Immortal Method power, Lu Yuan can face Inborn Grandmasters without losing.

At this moment, his strength has finally balanced in both immortal and martial arts cultivation.

“Even though I’ve cultivated the Taiping Dao Book for just over two months, I’ve been practicing martial arts for eighteen years. The difference between two months and eighteen years, between Immortal Method and Martial Arts, or, rather, the terrifying nature of the Taiping Dao Book and the abnormality of the Qi Luck Dao, is truly astonishing.” Lu Yuan could not help but exclaim.

The progress of ordinary Immortal Method cultivation is not as rapid as this.

Just like his cultivation of the Wu Lei Dao Book, he had been cultivating for two years.

However, in the two years since, the power Lu Yuan has accumulated has been extremely thin. Even including the two Dao techniques that were consumed when he killed the Inborn Grandmasters previously, the remaining power at present is only enough for him to use five Dao techniques.

Now, there is only enough power left to perform three Dao techniques.

At this rate, it would take him at least four years to accumulate enough power to be comparable to an Inborn Grandmaster with ten Dao techniques.

Four years of cultivation to grow to be comparable to an Inborn Grandmaster is actually quite fast compared to martial arts.

However, this rapid Immortal Method, when compared to the Qi Luck Dao within the Immortal Methods, still seems too ordinary and mediocre.
