Changing the Goal
"It was worth it."
Fang Weiyan's face showed a hint of excitement at this moment.
He finally managed to find out some information regarding cultivation.
In terms of cultivation, there are indeed other methods, but if I had to choose one, becoming the Human Sovereign seems to be a better option.
Given Fang Weiyan's current resources, the Human Sovereign's approach is more suitable for his goals.
However, this makes it even more necessary to accumulate strength.
However, things are alright for now. He is currently the governor of a prefecture, so he does have this opportunity.
However, the Jiang Kingdom right now seems to be in a very precarious situation.
The huge amount of taxes was swallowed up by those political parties.
I don't know if it was really uncovered, or if it was hidden in secret.
But speaking of which, what was the story behind those burly men killing fish in Pingjiang City?
Fang Weiyan thought about this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
According to the fisherman who said that, someone tried to steal his fish as soon as he reached the shore.
Several burly men together, all for a few fish? And to make matters worse, they ran into Human Tribulation, the son of the Dragon King.
In addition, he had previously heard about the Dragon King from the imperial court, as if someone was deliberately trying to pin some disasters on him.
All these things combined made Fang Weiyan feel that something was amiss.
Unfortunately, the Dragon King had already taken these burly men away, Fang Weiyan couldn't ask them any questions.
"Never mind, they've all been taken away. Luckily, the little blackfish is alright, otherwise it would have been terrible."
Fang Weiyan rubbed his forehead, relieved that nothing had happened to this guy on his end.
He beckoned Cheng Feng and the others over, saying, "Remember, this matter is not to be told to anyone."
The matter of the Human Sovereign must not be spread. Fortunately, he is now the prefect, and without a travel permit, the people here cannot leave.
Besides, very few people heard what was said.
"Yes, sir."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng immediately responded in agreement.
"Give this old man 100 jin of grain as compensation."
Fang Weiyan glanced at the fisherman beside him, whose clothes still bore a footprint, and ordered someone to fetch a hundred catties of grain for him.
Consider it compensation.
He wouldn't have known what just happened if the other party hadn't reported it to the police.
Upon hearing this, the fisherman immediately tried to kneel down.
He truly never expected that after reporting the incident to the authorities, the government would actually compensate him for the loss.
Moreover, this time, the prefect himself made this trip.
The fisherman was now filled with gratitude.
Fang Weiyan saw this but didn't say anything, and turned back to his own residence.
After returning, Fang Weiyan began to think about his next plan.
Previously, he only thought about building a foothold here, since there were all sorts of demons outside of the Jiang Kingdom.
Besides, they are all Human Race, so there's nothing wrong with standing on the side of Human Race and helping them out.
They decided to use this place as a base and then inquire around to see if there were any Cultivation Method or anything like that.
But now that I've heard this news, it seems like being the Human Sovereign is a better option.
If that's the case, then governing Jiangling Commandery will require even greater effort.
That said, is the lack of a Human Sovereign in the Jiang Kingdom due to insufficient national strength?
"Strange, why is there no movement?"
At this moment, on a mountain some distance from Pingjiang City, a group of people stood on a hilltop looking towards Pingjiang City.
Seeing that there was no movement from Pingjiang City, they couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Judging by the time, it should be today. Why is there no movement? Could it be that the people we sent failed to find the Dragon King's child?"
The other person was also somewhat puzzled upon hearing this.
If the Dragon King's child is dead, the enraged Dragon King's rampages would be clearly visible even from their position.
After all, that's the Dragon King.
But even now, the weather ahead remains sunny and calm, which is rather strange.
The people were puzzled and exchanged glances. Could it be that the person they sent had failed in his mission?
That's impossible. This person was carefully selected, and they handled everything I asked them to do very efficiently.
Moreover, it's just killing a fish; the blackfish has no Law Power when it faces Human Tribulation.
Even for the Dragon King, finding his destined child was not so simple.
But why is it that there's still no movement from over there?
Everyone fell silent. If this didn't work out, wouldn't all their previous efforts have been in vain?
"What to do?"
If things don't go as planned, Pingjiang City won't be flooded by the Dragon King, and in that case, the Jiang Kingdom won't have to take action against the Dragon King.
How can we allow the Jiang Kingdom to be destroyed without taking action?
"Let's discuss it further when we get back."
Seeing that they didn't get to see the scene they wanted, even though they were resentful, there was nothing they could do at the moment.
If this had succeeded, the Jiang Kingdom would have been destroyed.
But given what has happened, it seems we have no choice but to find another solution.
Unfortunately, this incident resulted in the loss of a demon on their side. After revealing the secrets of heaven, the demon was struck dead by lightning on the spot.
Despite paying such a high price, it still didn't work.
It's understandable that a group of people would feel angry.
Daoist temple.
Fang Weiyan glanced at the Incense Offerings in the Daoist temple, added some incense and candles, and then began to look up some information.
Now that the goal has changed, Fang Weiyan naturally intends to act in accordance with this new goal.
My previous goal was to obtain some Cultivation Method or something.
But now, it seems that the Human Sovereign is more powerful, so Fang Weiyan has set his sights on this matter.
To enhance national strength, as previously thought, both the economy and military power are indispensable, along with other miscellaneous factors.
These can be ignored for now, but the economy and military strength are necessary.
Fang Weiyan planned to investigate how other countries had used methods to stimulate economic development.
Once you've researched the information, you can just copy the homework.
Fang Weiyan began searching for information and taking notes, crossing out unsuitable strategies and putting suitable ones into Jiangling Commandery.
Based on the information Fang Weiyan Fang Weiyan researched, he subsequently developed a general idea.
The most basic approach is to undertake large-scale infrastructure projects, which can provide demand. Another approach is to establish factories and the like, which can create demand.
Then it will also require establishing a college, and so on.
Fang Weiyan wrote down the entire plan and listed it clearly before implementing it step by step.
Fang Weiyan has already started working on the infrastructure.
Fang Weiyan thought that perhaps the treatment could be improved a little to make the people richer.
Anyway, he's aiming to become the Human Sovereign. In the early stages, he invests money to make the people rich, and they will naturally support him.
This business deal won't be too unprofitable.
