There is a space man in the village [Rebirth]

The battle between Zhao and Lu was imminent, and the relationship between the seven countries fell into a tense atmosphere.

A long time ago when the seven countries were side by side, a peace treaty was signed. At this moment, the state of Lu colluded with the prince and wanted to plot the territory of the state of Zhao.

It made sense for Zhao to send troops, but Lu had to bite the bullet and fight. The other four countries waited and watched, with different ideas.

For this battle, the Seventh Prince had clearly been preparing for a long time.

Zhao Guo originally had an army of one million, and now, coupled with the army secretly prepared by bandits from all over the country for many years, Zhao Guo's current army on the surface can be called the army of tigers and wolves.

However, the state of Lu was not prepared enough for this battle. When the battle happened suddenly, the state of Lu fell first.

However, in order to prevent the fishermen of the other four countries from benefiting, the seven princes of the imperial army did not use all of them to attack Lu, and allocated half of their troops for defense.

Therefore, half a year later, the two countries fell into a stalemate in war, even after the state of Lu, which had lost several cities, recovered and got a breather.

Once the military strength is at a stalemate, the next thing is to compete for who has more financial resources and armaments.

Whoever lasts longer in military pay, food and war preparations will have a greater chance of winning this battle.

When Huo Chengyi got the news of the war between the two countries, he began to prepare. As soon as the letter from the Seventh Prince arrived, his caravan started to move, sending the silver and food that had been prepared earlier to the front line.

But he couldn't estimate how long this battle would last.

Therefore, in order to persist longer without using his hole cards, Huo Chengyi not only asked members of the business alliance to join the team preparing for military supplies.

At the same time, he also issued the order of "anti-Lu activities" to all the Huo family's commercial properties in Zhao State.

To put it simply, with the slogan of "resisting Lu", the commercial firm did various promotional activities to increase income, and directly put on the surface the name of raising money to help the imperial court fight.

This is unprecedented in the history of Zhao.

Wars have always been the court's own business, and all kinds of military supplies come and go from the treasury, so every time there is a war, the court is in a state of distress.

If there is no money to raise taxes on the people, there will be a lot of resentment among the people. If you don't raise taxes to the people, you will have no money to fight, and both sides will be annoyed.

But now Huo Chengyi has used the concept of mobilizing the unity of the people of the whole country after a modern disaster, and has developed the word "crowdfunding" to the extreme.

Therefore, in order to mobilize the solidarity of the people of the entire Zhao Kingdom, he also asked commercial firms in various places to set up stages for charity performances every now and then, and made up some dramas, songs and dances about heroic deeds in war, etc.

Let the people experience the tension of the frontline war, and let everyone understand that fighting is a sense of life and death for everyone!

In fact, everyone has a heart of unity, but it also needs to be triggered and mobilized to manifest itself.

Under Huo Chengyi's active deception, the people of Zhao State were united like never before.

What about "The state of Lu humiliated my great Zhao, the crime will be punished even though it is far away!"

What is "All people are united, swear to destroy Nanlu and regain the lost land!"

What else is there to say, "I would rather be a war dead ghost than a subjugated slave, and hit the Nanlu thieves!" Like a spring breeze, it blew across the entire land of Zhao overnight.

Obviously, a war of friction caused by the two countries plotting each other's territory, was abruptly labeled as 'national righteousness' by someone from the Huo family.

Obviously, Zhao State seized the opportunity to seize several cities of Lu State, but in the end, a certain guy propagated the theory of regaining the lost land to his own people, making him as nervous as if Zhao State was about to destroy the country...

In fact, Huo Chengyi didn't want to fool people so shamelessly.

But who told him that he is a native of Zhao now, he will naturally help his own country, no matter what the deal between him and the Seventh Prince, if Zhao is destroyed or bullied miserably, as a person of Zhao, he will not have a good life.

If the country is strong, the people will be rich, but if the country is weak, the people will live in poverty.

Besides, if the state of Lu can't afford to be greedy and want to seek the land of the state of Zhao, can the seventh prince catch him and deal with it?

Therefore, this 'Southern Lu thief' is the scapegoat, and Lu Guo is actually not wronged.

The patriotic people of Zhao State have been inspired to unite in history.

Everyone has the money to contribute money, and the ability to contribute, and those who have nothing to do will go to the charity performance held by Huo's House to join in the fun, clenched their fists and shouted slogans.

Even the female buddies also ran to the "National Salvation Operation" organized by the Huojia Commercial Bank, and took out their needlework, which they were good at, to help make clothes for the soldiers on the front line.

A steady stream of military supplies were sent to the front line, and slogans were spread to the front line.

The morale of the soldiers in the army increased instantly, and the original feeling of being forced to go to the battlefield immediately turned into a passion for patriotism and protecting the family.

The soldiers of Zhao State, whose morale was greatly increased, captured one city after another of Lu State like a broken bamboo...

Capital Palace.

When I received the good news that Huo Chengyi encouraged the people all over the country to support the court and the front line, I didn't know what to say.

After sitting for a long time, I couldn't help laughing and sighing, "This kid is really talented..."

It's not just a talent, it's a weird thing at all.

With this ability to talk nonsense and fool people with open eyes, someone will be number two, and absolutely no one will dare to recognize number one!

"Your Majesty is right, Huo Daniu is indeed a talent."

Qi Zifu and other trusted ministers also admired him.

Although the strength of each commoner is as small as an ant, the gathering of the common people of the entire Zhao Kingdom is a support that cannot be ignored.

Huo Chengyi actually incited the people all over the country. This kind of brains and courage are really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"We really underestimated that kid at the beginning, Zifu, record a merit. Also, tomorrow morning, read the news carefully to the courtiers in the court."

"Nowadays, businessmen and common people, even three-year-old children know how to support their families and defend the country. This group of people, who are disobedient, should go home to take care of themselves..."

The new official took office with three fires, and the new emperor took the throne for a big change.

With absolute military strength and financial resources in hand, the civil servants in the court are just a bunch of young people who can't jump up.

The forces in the capital were reshuffled.

And when Lu State received the battle report and Zhao State's news, Lu Huang was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood in the court hall on the spot.

This time, it was really bad luck for eight lifetimes that they agreed to cooperate with the uncle's party because of the conditions of the two cities.

Who would have thought that it would be fine if Zhao Guo hid a Seventh Prince, but TNND also had a 'Huo Daniu'!

This guy is simply more ferocious than the hidden Seventh Prince.

I think that every time their countries increase taxes on the people, it is a headache to raise some money from businessmen and nobles to do things.

If it is not done well, it will bear the notoriety of exorbitant taxes and tyrannical kings.

This guy is so good, within a quarter of an hour, people can be able to support Zhao Guo, so the common people and merchants are willing to contribute and support, and make the common people and merchants feel that they are doing a good job of protecting their families and defending the country's glorious lintel...

The court of Lu State was very angry.

They also want to do this like Zhao Guo, but none of them can be as charismatic as Huo Chengyi.

You must know that although Huo Chengyi called on the people to support the imperial court, it was based on the circumstances that the common people could do it. Most of the military supplies to support the imperial court were raised by his business alliance and contributed his own wealth.

And which businessman in the state of Lu has such courage?Who else is willing?

If they dare to imitate Huo Chengyi and ask the people and businessmen to contribute money and efforts, it is no exaggeration to say that there is no need for Zhao Guo to fight, and the people in their country will have to revolt first...

The state of Lu had no choice but to bite the bullet and consume the treasury.

However, even if the military supplies kept up, the morale was not as high as that of the Zhao soldiers. After many battles, they retreated steadily and the city was lost.

And the other four countries, seeing such a battle situation, did not dare to move even if they wanted to reap benefits.

No one can guarantee whether Zhao Guo has any other trump cards. Huo Chengyi's call to incite the people of the whole country really stunned a group of ancient friends who have never seen modern hype methods.

In the battle between Zhao and Lu, Zhao's momentum was like a rainbow, and his advantage was absolute.

But in fact the imperial court and Huo Chengyi are not as relaxed as they appear on the surface.

Huang Qi let the high-ranking officials and nobles donate money to move the interests of the nobles. These people naturally refused to accept it. The conflict of class interests led to tension in the exchange of blood between the DPRK and China.

On Huo Chengyi's side, he was so busy calculating the accounts and arranging things that he was dizzy every day.

Don't dare to make any mistakes, once there is a problem in one of the steps, it will cause huge troubles, if it is not for the support of spiritual spring water to wash away fatigue, he will almost be exhausted to death.

And in addition to considering the issue of supporting the front line, he also had to consider what would happen to his Huo family after the war.

Although Huang Qi made a promise, there have been too many things that have been hidden since ancient times. He had to think of the world as conspiracy theories and make more preparations.

As the saying goes, it is always good to plan ahead, in case it is always unpredictable.

To this end, Huo Chengyi spent a huge amount of money to set up "Huaxia Business Alliance Patriotic Soldiers Pension Sheds" in various places in the name of supporting the imperial court, and sent care materials to the families of soldiers who joined the army.

Daily necessities such as money, rice grains, clothes, etc. are involved, not much each time, but once in a while.

While the capital investment drain is huge, the prestige of recycling isn't something silver can buy.

The Huaxia Business Alliance has become a real good businessman in the hearts of the people, especially the soldiers who fought on the front line. Every soldier is grateful.

Which soldier goes to the battlefield without worrying that his wife, children and parents are left unattended at home.

How many soldiers returned home after defeating the bad news that their parents died, their wives were tired and sick, and their children didn't know their parents when they met.

The Merchant Alliance's move to help take care of the soldiers' families made the soldiers feel more at ease than the amount of pensions issued by the court after the war.

"The Huaxia Business Alliance is really conscientious, and the Huo family is also a good person. They do business fairly and return benevolence and righteousness..."

"Isn't that right? I heard that the owner of Huo Ji Trading Company almost went bankrupt in order to deliver military supplies to the front-line soldiers. Who can compare to this benevolence and courage?"

"That's right, thanks to the owner of Huoji Commercial Company, Grandma Liu in our village can be fine. Grandma only has one son, and the boy has no one to take care of him when he goes to the battlefield. Now he is no longer worried in the Soldiers' Shelter of the Merchant League. ..."

"That's right, those in our village who have sons who went to join the army have all received care and pensions from the Merchant Alliance, and they even traveled across the mountains and ridges to bring them in for us..."

"Good man, Huo Dong's family is really good people, and those merchants in the business alliance are also conscientious, let's go to the temple and offer a longevity card to Huo Dong's family..."

"We have already offered the Longevity card, and our village raised money together to set up a monument of merit for Huo Dong's family and the Shangmeng at the entrance of the village."

"Ah, you have erected a stele of meritorious deeds, then our village will also get one..."

Unknowingly, the evaluation and support of the Huo family and the business alliance reached an incomparable upsurge in the hearts of the people who had received patronage.
