After hearing Yin Jiuzhu's words, Liu Ji immediately smiled, nodded lightly, and said:

Your ambition is not merely to wage war. If it were simply a matter of fighting, we would not need to concern ourselves with this.
But if we need people capable of governing a country, then we need scholars and many civil officials.
And that is precisely the most troublesome part! Even I can only provide Lord with a few talented people.
