Don’t be too poisonous to the concubine of the Wu family who was born in Wu

Chapter 3979 14. The Ghost Tribe of the North Sea (The way of mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements is the way for the prosperity of the country)

Wu Xuanyue quickly opened the teacup, took a sip, and quickly handed it to Dongfang Yu, not forgetting to say thank you. Then she began her passionate lecture again.

"Let's talk about weapons. What materials do we use to make weapons? Metal, right? Why? Because metal is highly malleable and tough and not easy to break. It is faster and easier to smelt and forge. Once it is made, it is tough and very aggressive. The sword is sharp, cuts quickly, and has strong lethality. This is the earliest formation of weapons. Then, from weapons in a narrow sense to weapons in a broad sense, I have to mention the Quan clan. The Qinglong Army is the best at using weapons. Whether it is using people, soldiers or spirit beasts, you are particularly adept at it. Lord Dongfang, tell me about your way of using weapons."

"Well... I don't quite understand what Shinshi means."

Dongfang Yu had just stepped down from the stage and hadn't even sat down yet when he was called out by Wu Xuanyue, looking confused.

"Haha~ Dongfang, don't be too nervous. Um... Let me tell you this. When you use your troops, how do you select them and how do you train them?"

"There must be certain selection criteria. Talent is something that comes naturally. We have to select different talents according to different arms from the beginning. Only through training and cultivation can they play their greatest role."

"Look, isn't this the same principle as when we polish weapons? Don't ordinary weapon makers first draw the blueprints and patterns, and know in their minds what kind of sword they want to make? Then they polish and forge it based on past experience. When the sword is completed, it can be used on the battlefield to play its greatest role. Isn't talent also polished in this process?"

Although what he said was unpleasant to hear, it was indeed the fact. At this moment, Dongfang Yu could only smile awkwardly and look at Shangguan Kunyang helplessly. He knew that what he said would offend the soldiers. Even though it was the truth, he was still afraid of offending Shangguan Kunyang.

Unexpectedly, there was no trace of anger on Shangguan Kunyang's face. Instead, he motioned Dongfang Yu to sit down. It didn't matter if he said it. His clan had done it, so why should he be afraid of what others would say?
At this time, Cao Yunfei seemed to notice the embarrassment of Shangguan Kunyang's family, so he suddenly stood up and asked a question.

"No... Zhenshi, after hearing what you said, I am curious. Look at our White Tiger Army, a bunch of scrap metal, what can we make of it?"

Hearing this, Shangguan Kunyang's embarrassment was resolved, and the Quan family burst into laughter.

Wu Xuanyue understood very well that Cao Yunfei was helping Shangguan Kunyang out of trouble again, so she just continued speaking in line with what he said.

"Scrap metal also has its uses. Haven't you heard of waste recycling? As long as the right person is placed in the right position, scrap metal will have its use and value. Although there is no distinction between high and low industries, some people just can't let go of their status to do things that seem dirty, but society really needs such positions. What do you think we should do? Besides, the White Tiger Army is not scrap metal! Is Town Lord Cao using self-deprecating methods to inspire the fighting spirit of his soldiers?" As soon as these words came out, the White Tiger Army also laughed. As for their town lord's words, they knew his own virtues, so they naturally would not take them to heart and just laughed it off.

"Okay, it seems that this device is not a good topic, let's end it. Then let me talk about the last thing, which is soil--"

"The easiest way to understand is that the road is built with soil. The element of soil has the function of carrying all things, but the road that people can build is flat and worry-free! The Tao in reality and the Tao in thought are actually the same principle. Only when the saints of the past expand the territory for future generations and smooth the road, can the future generations walk smoothly. After all, the predecessors plant trees for the future generations to enjoy the shade~ The Tao in the books of saints and the principles of wisdom are used by future generations, which can lead to life. The emperors of the previous countries formed a set of theoretical systems through their life-long governance of the country, which were absorbed and used by the later monarchs. On this basis, they continued to expand the territory, explore larger spaces for future generations, and establish a broader stage. Isn’t this the act of a wise monarch?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience became excited again. This statement was so vivid and true that people could understand it immediately.

"Then let's continue. I have already discussed the way of governing by the Five Elements. Now comes something interesting. We all know that the Five Elements theory has the theory of mutual generation and mutual restraint. What did we say before? Water generates wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, and metal generates water. The Five Elements generate a closed loop. Let's apply this theory. Money opens the way and transforms power. When the people have positive thoughts in their hearts and strong bodies, they can build large-scale projects and settle down. Then they can show their abilities. With power, they have power. In order to maintain the integrity of their territory, sovereignty, and power, they must forge weapons to protect local stability. With stable production and rapid population growth, they must expand their territory to support the abundant population. New territory is once again paved with money, forming a new round of closed loop - this is the theory of prospering the country."

Wu Xuanyue used his Tianling Diluo Roulette to make a closed-loop diagram, which shocked the people off the field and left them speechless.

"Then by the same logic, if the five elements can generate each other, they will also have their opposites, that is, they can restrain each other. Let's take a look at the development trend of the restraint of the five elements. The so-called water restrains fire, fire restrains metal, metal restrains wood, wood restrains earth, and earth restrains water. The corresponding meaning is that power restrains tools, tools restrain force, force restrains the way, the way restrains wealth, and wealth restrains power. We can understand it this way. Similarly, we use wealth to open the way. This time, dirty money is used to corrupt people's hearts, making people have evil thoughts and bad intentions. They form gangs and factions just for selfish interests to form a force. In order to maintain the growth of their own power, this group of people do not hesitate to launch coups and mutinies, causing social unrest. During political unrest, people's hearts are unstable, and the people have no intention of doing their own business. How can people struggling on the line between life and death have wise principles and determination? How can a social system that has been destroyed make money? If this vicious cycle continues, the country will surely perish."

Looking at the picture of the five elements counteracting each other flashing before everyone's eyes, everyone in the hall couldn't help but sigh. Such a result made them lament.

The rise and fall of a country can actually be summarized from a seemingly insignificant theory of the five elements. This is truly a profound theory!
Wu Xuanyue looked at the people in the hall who were convinced by her words, and she had the ability to see through people's hearts, so she added another sentence.

"The truth is that the great way is simple. The seemingly simplest truths are all rooted in the most basic truths. I hope that all the pillars of the country and the royal relatives present here can understand that the prosperity of a country comes from your own strength. Do you want a country with prostitutes and thieves and evil people? Only if we work together can we create a better future."

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of fierce applause from the audience...
