Spring and Autumn Ode

"This cannot all be blamed on Qianyuan. We have our own problems as well," Chai Jungui said.

Chu Danqing listened, then said, "You were not asking him to solve the historical cycle problem, were you???"

Otherwise, with the various faction-type resources he had provided and their own abilities, only Li Qingying and Lu Wanyi should have needed Yang Qianyuan's help.

Now that Chai Jungui had stepped forward to say this, Chu Danqing could not think of anything else worth Chai Jungui asking Yang Qianyuan for.

No one spoke, clearly acquiescing to this.

"To be honest, even absolute military strength might not be enough to solve it," Chu Danqing said calmly. "Unless you sever the backbone and fighting spirit of the entire dynasty."

"But is that worth it?"

Thus, the best solution was certainly to ensure that the common people were fed and clothed, that their lives steadily improved, while also preventing the avenues for advancement from being cut off.

The Cat Goddess went even further back, belonging to the era of primitive tribal chieftains.

Therefore, most of their thinking was simple: use their heavenly secrets abilities to eradicate future threats in advance.

Whoever would rebel against them in the future, if they had already been born, kill them; if they had not been born, kill their ancestors.

Although they had also been improving the people's livelihood, they could not resist acting as those in power now—when they had a headache or a sore foot, covering their mouths was the answer.

"The way you handle matters needs to change. You are not yet strong enough to contend with historical cycles," Chu Danqing said.
