Tony: You can insult me, but you can't doubt my abilities
Tony Stark: "Economic aggression is a good approach, just a bit complicated."
Ning Caichen: "Economic aggression, what does that mean?"
Goddess Leona: "Stupid newbie, so-called economic aggression means you have to check the chat Group Library yourself."
Ning Caichen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, feeling both amused and exasperated.
My dear goddess, you don't even know this yourself, do you?
Ning Caichen: "Thank you for your guidance, Goddess."
Goddess Leona: "Hmm, not bad for a newcomer, she has potential."
The Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Tch, Leona, aren't you blushing?"
Goddess Leona: "Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮, what, you little three-way cross-strait guy have a problem with this goddess? If you have a problem, then say it, anyway, this goddess won't pay any attention to you."
Xu Xian: ""
Li Xunhuan: "I haven't studied economic aggression much; I've mainly focused on people's livelihoods and infrastructure development. But judging from everyone's opinions, it seems far more effective than war?"
Tony Stark: "It's not that war is more effective than war itself; it's that the essence of war is to serve the economy. Any war that cannot bring benefits is foolish and unnecessary."
Wang Lei: "Yes, the answer given by the Earth Think Tank is very similar to Mr. Tony Stark's statement. Since ancient times, humans have been inseparable from clothing, food, shelter, and transportation, and all of these can be categorized into economic development. I can't say the specifics, but there is one sentence that has left a deep impression on me."
A truly powerful nation intimidates its enemies not only with its military strength, but also with its unparalleled economic power. A weak nation may possess a powerful military, but without a strong economy to support it, it is like a fortress on the beach, destined to be short-lived.
A truly powerful nation understands how to enable its people to earn more wealth, allowing wealth to reside among the people. A weak nation only thinks about plundering the wealth of its people to enrich those who control power. A truly powerful nation has an unparalleled monetary system. There are other things as well, but I don't fully understand them yet."
Li Xunhuan: "A truly powerful nation not only deters enemy countries with its military strength, but also with its insurmountable economic power. These words are so well said."
Li Xunhuan took a deep breath and sighed, "Without governing a region, one will never know the utmost importance of money. Since I began governing a region, I have come to understand that everything is inseparable from money. Without money, construction cannot be carried out, the welfare of the people cannot be guaranteed, and even the government offices cannot function properly."
Wealth should be distributed among the people, and they should be taught how to acquire it. This embodies the ancient wisdom that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
Alas, despite studying the classics for so many years and governing a region for several years, I still lack the necessary experience. Different worlds, different knowledge, different eras, different perspectives—I have a long road ahead and much to learn."
Omniscient Li: "Seeking pleasure doesn't require dwelling on these issues. Wang Lei was able to do better not only because of his own merits, but also because of the thousands of years of civilization's heritage and the culmination of countless wise men's wisdom. Rather than saying you need to learn more, you need to say you need to do more. In this respect, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader has done a very good job."
Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "The group leader flatters me."
Angel Yan: "Education is fundamental, and this is no exaggeration. Without sufficient talent, no power can rise, and may even decline over time. The reason why we angels are powerful is because we attach great importance to education and make most of the technology of the Angel Civilization public, so that our people can learn more knowledge and gain more experience, thereby promoting the development of the Angel Civilization."
When I ascend the throne, I will popularize cultivation within the Angel Civilization and open up a completely new path of enhancement. Perhaps there won't be many changes at the outset, but it will inevitably have an immeasurable impact on the Angel Civilization thousands of years later.
I look forward to that day, and I long for it to come. One day, our Angel Civilization will leave this world and venture into the vast Heavens and Myriad Worlds."
Goddess Leona: "(⊙o⊙)..., Yan, are you broken?"
Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "Black guy with a question mark face. jpg, is this serious, even somewhat convincing guy really Sister Yan?"
Tushan Yaya: "Has the Akina Mountain racing legend gone mad?"
Angel Yan: "Are you three asking for a beating?"
Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "(╥╯^╰╥) Waaah, Big Brother Group Leader, Sister Yan is bullying me! You have to stand up for her and spank her!"
Omniscient Li: "Alright, Big Brother Group Leader will not only spank her, but also teach her a lesson. But we'll talk about that later; let's get back to business."
The Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "→_→, three long and two short!"
Xu Xian: "→_→, that's impressive."
Zhu Youjian: "→_→, Group admin, I suspect you're speeding. By the way, what the group admin said makes a lot of sense. Education is the foundation. Only with enough talented people can the empire continue to grow and prosper. Since I ascended the throne, my first priority has not been politics, but education."
Ming Yanwei: "No doubt about it, just arrest him."
Ning Caichen: "While that makes sense, I still have some doubts. The economy of our Great Song —let's call it an economy for now—far surpasses that of the Jin Kingdom, so why did we still suffer the Jingkang Humiliation?"
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Because your Song State's economy isn't strong enough to influence the Jin Kingdom's economy. Besides, your Song Dynasty, haha, I'm too lazy to even comment on those stupid policies."
Ning Caichen remained silent.
He hadn't felt it deeply before, but since joining the Chat Group and learning various advanced theories, Ning Caichen truly understood what the limitations of the times meant and what outdated thinking meant.
As Ning Caichen recalled the events that the Song Dynasty was about to experience, and the humiliation that the people would suffer in the future—a humiliation that could never be washed away—he clenched his fists tightly.
His gaze was firm, and the former confusion was no longer visible on his slightly haggard face.
I, Ning Caichen, will definitely change the future and change this humiliating history!
Ning Caichen: "I have learned a lot."
Ma Xiaoling: "Hehe, what do you mean by a stupid policy? Every era has its limitations. The Song Dynasty did a lot of stupid things, but does that mean other eras did even fewer?"
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Haha, I was just kidding, the newcomer is angry."
Ma Xiaoling pouted, her face full of displeasure.
I'm not angry at all, you'd be wrong.
Damn it, I actually died in the Song Dynasty, how ridiculous!
Hmph, it's all fake, everything is fake. The future the group owner saw is completely different from what I'm experiencing now. The "My Date with a Vampire" video he uploaded never mentioned the Chat Group or the reincarnators.
Ma Xiaoling comforted herself.
Angel Yan: "The economy is fundamental, but not absolute. When military power cannot overwhelm the opponent, or is on par with them, so-called economic advantage cannot be the straw that breaks the camel's back. If the gap in military power between the two sides is too large, it may even become the root of destruction."
Tony Stark: "It's rare to see Goddess Yan not driving, which is truly a cause for celebration. I completely agree with Goddess Yan's points. The economy is a part of a nation's comprehensive strength, and a very important one at that, but military power, along with other aspects, cannot be ignored."
Tryndamere, the Barbarian King: "I do have some thoughts on this issue. Whether it's the economy or military, in the end, Riot Games makes right."
Take our Freljord Plateau, for example. Sparsely populated and remotely desolate, but so what? Our Riot Games are big, our warriors are fearless, and we don't even need to worry too much about logistics. We can simply sustain our war effort with war and wear down the army of Valoran's world's number one military power in Ionia."
Omniscient Li: "Barbarian King, don't be careless. Tryndamere 'Freljord victory is not only due to Freljord's efforts, but also because Noxus has made too many enemies."
"Your Freljord needs to use all your forces to fight against even a portion of Noxus's army. If the war becomes a stalemate, or if Noxus withstands Freljord's blitzkrieg, it will not be Freljord that ultimately faces destruction."
Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Laughing and crying. jpg, I don't understand. Can you guys ask me some simple questions that don't require thinking?"
Goddess Leona: "Add one, military affairs, economy, what an annoying feeling. If there's a problem, just deal with it directly."
Tushan Yaya: "Add one, if there's a problem that can't be solved with a fight, then we need to fight again."
Ning Caichen: "Laughing and crying. jpg, Although I didn't quite understand what everyone was saying, I feel that what everyone said makes a lot of sense. Governing a country is not like dealing with street thugs; you need to consider the issues carefully. If you make a mistake on any small issue, it could lead to irreversible consequences."
Just like the Great Song I'm currently in, the Southern Song in your eyes. The Great Song is now on such a path. Once the Great Song chooses to join forces with the Mongol State, what awaits it is an even more ferocious and terrifying Mongol Empire."
Ma Xiaoling: "You said last time you wanted to change history, do you still want to do it now?"
Ning Caichen: "Did Miss Ma find the Information Box?"
Ma Xiaoling: "No, their defenses are extremely tight; I can't sneak in. It's strange, it seems like they knew I was coming back; there are many things inside specifically designed to target cultivators like us."
Lin Jiu: "They knew you were going!?"
Li Xunhuan: "Wait, how did they know you were going? Did they open the Information Box?"
Tony Stark: "Impossible. With the technological capabilities of your world, it's impossible to open the Information Box. You can insult me as a person, but you absolutely cannot doubt my skills, Tony Stark's. I am the number one scientist on Earth, the number one human scientist in this group; I wouldn't make such a basic mistake."
Angel Yan: "What if they don't use the power of technology?"
Tony Stark was stunned.
this.
If it weren't for technology, I doubt I could guarantee that completely.
