CHAPTER 1108: CHAPTER 741: ANOTHER APPROACH, THE METHOD OF EXPANSION (PART 2)
Wang Yang waved his hand again, and the model of Linzhou instantly dissipated.
This greatly interested Du Feng, as every story Wang Yang told him was fascinating and thought-provoking.
"In a very distant country, they focused on development and production as the central and most important thing."
"In this country, there are the Five Great Families that control all development, including the military. Do you think the ruling people still have any power in such a country?"
After hearing this story, Du Feng found it hard to believe: "How is that possible? No matter how strong these families are, they are still just families. If those in power are willing, they could take back everything no matter how much wealth they have, right?"
But have you ever thought about why such families are able to link themselves to the lifeblood of the entire country and how they developed to such an extent?
Du Feng nodded: "Indeed, it’s hard to imagine."
"The reason is very simple, because they control a vast amount of basic commerce, which the people cannot do without. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."
Wang Yang explained slowly, his hands behind his back: "Perhaps the current environment of Linzhou is very different from this country, but don’t forget how we in the Free Heaven Country rose to prominence."
If we talk about how the Free Heaven Country rose, it cannot escape Tianfeng City.
And why did Tianfeng City fall?
A large part of the reason is due to the guidance of public opinion. Wang Yang used the foundation of the Bei Family to constantly manipulate these public opinions.
This led to the split between General Shan and Water General. Without their split, Tianfeng City could not have been so easily controlled by the Free Heaven Country.
Wang Yang looked at Du Feng meaningfully: "You must understand, the human heart is the hardest to control, but also the easiest to control, and this is exactly what the entire Demon Country has neglected, as they only care about bloodline suppression and never about anything else."
This is one of the biggest flaws of the entire Demon Country, which Wang Yang finally discovered.
In the entire Demon Country, bloodline has always been the most fatal aspect.
If your bloodline is superior to mine, unless you don’t want to survive in the Demon Country, you have to bow down to me.
Under such oppressive circumstances, those suppressed at the bottom naturally have a different mindset.
And Wang Yang is very adept at using these people’s public opinion to topple those of higher status.
Perhaps these people’s emotions can’t have any substantial effect, but under the embellishment of the entire environment, no one can escape public condemnation!
Just as General Shan got carried away by these comments and went to trouble Water General.
As a result, he was betrayed by Water General and ultimately died at the hands of the Free Heaven Country.
"As long as we establish a sect near Linzhou, once our strength expands, we can start from the grassroots."
Wang Yang seemed to have already set up the framework for the future: "We can specifically operate those most basic resources, these must be necessities, and only Linzhou can control them, while we will operate on behalf of Linzhou. Only then can we grasp the lifeline."
"This... might be somewhat difficult."
Du Feng knew this wasn’t a simple matter.
To obtain the authority over these necessities, it will obviously require a lot of effort and gain the trust of the State City.
However, Du Feng believed that with Wang Yang’s methods, this wouldn’t be too difficult, so this step is not worth worrying about.
And Wang Yang’s idea was also very simple, once we hold these necessities, we can deeply connect with the lowest level of the demon clan.
We can also use psychological control over these lower-level demon clans, which will become the greatest weapon of the Free Heaven Country.
Moreover, Wang Yang has reason to believe that there are indeed too many people dissatisfied with the Demon Country.
They dare not openly oppose, but spread gossip in secret, isn’t that daring enough?
If not for the excessive dissatisfaction of these people, how could Tianfeng City panic so?
How could General Shan and Water General possibly split to such a degree?
After saying so much, Du Feng finally asked the crucial question: "Your Majesty, how exactly should we establish a sect?"
"Well, we might not need to establish one ourselves."
Wang Yang chuckled: "We can find a down-and-out sect, and enter it with a special identity to help it grow and prosper. Wouldn’t that be the most perfect thing?"
Du Feng thought this method was completely feasible, finding a down-and-out sect would mean it would be easy to control.
Moreover, this way, the background is relatively clean. No matter how deeply investigated, it would only trace back to the sect master of that sect.
Although Wang Yang and his group might be noticed, as long as the sect doesn’t reveal anything, it would be difficult to uncover the real truth.
Wang Yang waved his hand: "Go, observe the situation of the sects near the State City. Once you find one that meets our requirements, report immediately. I believe he would be very happy to accept our help."
"Yes!"
Du Feng bowed to Wang Yang and then left.
Without the slightest hesitation, he led his men towards the direction of the State City.
As the State City of Linzhou, Linzhou City was naturally the most developed city.
It is also the core location and, of course, holds priceless value.
In the bustling Linzhou City, there were several people whose difference was indiscernible.
One of Du Feng’s subordinates didn’t quite understand: "Boss, what exactly is Your Majesty thinking, why let us find a sect here?"
A nearby subordinate snorted: "What do you know? If you could understand Your Majesty’s mind, you would at least be a leader!"
Du Feng said slowly: "You don’t need to explore too much into Your Majesty’s mind, at least so far, none of the battles led by Your Majesty have ever been lost. Just follow his instructions."
"Move aside!"
At this moment, a group of people came over from a distance, and the surrounding people dispersed.
Du Feng originally thought this was an army, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just a disciple of a major family.
Wherever this person passed, others did not dare approach at all.
To avoid causing too much trouble, Du Feng naturally did not dare to be too ostentatious.
So he led his men to retreat to the side, waiting for the disciples of the major families to leave before Du Feng sighed: "This is Your Majesty’s ultimate thought, these people from the major families, these so-called noble bloodlines, hold a large amount of resources, and what can we get?"
Such a scene further solidified Du Feng’s belief in Wang Yang’s choice and the significance of the existence of the Free Heaven Country.
If the Demon Country is not overthrown, then such a situation would just repeat endlessly, never stopping.
Among the crowd, Du Feng and his two subordinates disappeared within.
After a full month, Du Feng finally returned with his two subordinates.
"Your Majesty, I have found it. We found a sect that perfectly meets Your Majesty’s requirements."
After saying this, Du Feng handed over the recorded information to Wang Yang.
And after Wang Yang took a few glances, he felt that this sect was the perfect target!
This sect is called the Eastern Peak Sect, with a history of only about a hundred years.
A hundred years is basically nothing for a cultivator in the celestial Demon Realm.
But for some ordinary sects, it is the rise and fall of a dynasty.
Moreover, this Eastern Peak Sect has a larger background.
It is said that the original founder came from the Great Province in the distant past, for some reason, he stayed here,
and founded the Eastern Peak Sect.
This also gave them more excuses and reasons for later. If the Eastern Peak Sect prospered, this could be fully utilized as the reason.
However, due to poor management in recent years, coupled with the unexpected death of the founder, the entire Eastern Peak Sect has become impoverished.
Now it is left with only a dozen or so disciples.
And the current sect master of the Eastern Peak Sect is just a disciple under thirty years of age, which shows how far the Eastern Peak Sect has fallen.
