Journey to the West: Become stronger by taking on disciples, start by recruiting a demonized Sun Wuk

There were three reasons why Ying Zheng returned to Peach Blossom Spring.

First, I visited my mentor, Chu Qing.

Second, he asked Chu Qing for advice on cultivation.

Third, there's the matter I just mentioned.

Now, more than half a year has passed since the fierce battle with the Heavenly Court.

His Great Qin Dynasty had long since absorbed and digested all the spoils of war.

Ying Zheng was planning how to expand his territory.

The conquest of a complete dynasty would allow him to directly break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

This temptation was very strong for him.

However, the oath he made with the Jade Emperor before him restricted him from launching attacks on mortal dynasties.

This bothered him a lot.

If any mortal dynasty dared to provoke the Great Qin Dynasty first, Ying Zheng could retaliate and annex them.

But other dynasties wouldn't go looking for trouble; they weren't stupid.

Even the most ordinary commoners in the Great Qin Holy Dynasty possessed the cultivation level of refining essence into qi.

People from other countries are all mortals. Unless they are tired of living, they wouldn't dare to provoke my Great Qin Dynasty.

Ying Zheng racked his brains but could not come up with a solution.

He had no choice but to go to Peach Blossom Spring to ask Chu Qing for help.

In Ying Zheng's view, his master was omnipotent.

He felt that his problem was a minor issue in his master's eyes.

As expected, Ying Zheng saw his master Chu Qing speak after a moment's thought.

"Ying Zheng, let me ask you, have you ever actively pursued any women in your harem?"

Chu Qing did not answer Ying Zheng's question directly, but instead asked another question.

Ying Zheng didn't understand why his master asked that, but he still answered truthfully, "No."

Then he asked a crucial question: "Master, do women really need to be actively pursued?"

"Does that mean if I just stand there, those women will do everything they can to get close to me?"

Ying Zheng recalled his experiences in the harem, realizing that those women didn't need to be pursued at all.

He only needs to give a slight hint, and they will come over on their own.

Do not!

They will rush up to you and use all sorts of methods to get close to you and try their best to please you.

Chu Qing suddenly remembered a sentence from her past life.

If someone is handsome, rich, and powerful, women will take the initiative.

"That's right, that's exactly it."

Chu Qing first agreed with Ying Zheng's words, then asked, "Have you thought about why?"

Ying Zheng shook his head: "I hadn't thought about that. Are all women like that?"

Chu Qing shook her head: "No!"

"Those women are close to you because they want what's in you."

"You are the emperor, the most powerful person in the court, handsome, and elegant. These qualities are all things that can attract them."

"It's all because you're powerful enough to give them what they want!"

"If you were an ordinary person, and you weren't good-looking, those women wouldn't even give you a second glance."

"Do you understand?"

Ying Zheng said, "Your disciple understands."

Ying Zheng didn't understand these principles before, not because he was stupid.

Because he hasn't experienced these things.

Now that Chu Qing had explained the whole story, Ying Zheng immediately understood the key point.

Chu Qing continued, "Now, let's apply this principle to your question."

"Your problem is: you can't proactively attack other countries, but you want to annex them."

"But that doesn't mean those countries can't voluntarily submit to you."

"All you have to do is get other countries to voluntarily request to be incorporated into the Great Qin Dynasty, and the problem will be solved."

Chu Qing's words enlightened Ying Zheng!

His eyes immediately lit up!

Master is right!

Although one cannot actively conquer other countries, one can make them willingly submit to one another!

This way, they could both uphold their oath to Heaven and annex other states, expand the territory of the Great Qin Dynasty, and enhance its national fortune.

At that time, their strength will naturally increase.

This is a great way to kill three birds with one stone.

"Master is indeed amazing. Problems that I can't solve are very simple for you."

Ying Zheng looked at Chu Qing with admiration in his eyes.

Chu Qing accepted it readily and enjoyed this kind of adoration.

But soon, Ying Zheng showed a troubled expression: "Master, I understand the reasoning."

"But I don't know the specifics of how to do it. Please guide me, Master!"

Chu Qing had no choice but to teach him all the methods.

He patiently explained, "Ying Zheng, you must remember: you have to compare things to see the differences."

"I ask you, if the people of Qin eat better, dress better, use better, and play better than those of other countries..."

People from other countries will definitely be envious.

Ying Zheng nodded: "Of course!"

Chu Qing said, "Now, your Great Qin directly declares that any foreign citizen who moves into Great Qin can unconditionally become a citizen of Great Qin."

What will the outcome be?

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up: "People from other countries will definitely flood into Qin immediately."

Chu Qing nodded: "That's right!"

"Then, you send people to various countries to spread the word about the prosperity of Qin."

"Then escort those who are willing to move to Daqin over here."

"Tell me, if all foreigners flock to the Qin Dynasty, what use will their empty lands be?"

"Did they have any other choice but to submit to the Qin Dynasty?"

"Now all you need to do is promise them benefits as long as they submit."

"In this way, the monarchs and officials of various countries will come to you for their own use."

Ying Zheng asked, "What if they send troops to prevent people from migrating to Qin?"

Chu Qing shook her head: "You're too stupid!"

"What were your subordinates, sent to escort the people, for? They are highly skilled; ordinary taxi drivers from other countries couldn't stop them at all."

"If they insist on obstructing us, they will be deliberately provoking the Qin Dynasty."

"At that time, our counterattack was perfectly justified."

Ying Zheng suddenly realized his mistake and slapped his thigh, exclaiming, "Great idea!"

"My master's words enlightened me. Master, I understand!"

"I admire my master so much!"

Ying Zheng looked at Chu Qing with eyes full of admiration.

But he still has a question.

"Master, I don't know how to make the people of Qin dress better and eat better than those of other countries."

In the present Great Qin Holy Dynasty, everyone possesses cultivation, and they are as powerful as dragons and tigers.

However, in other aspects, it is not stronger than its neighboring countries.

Chu Qing shook her head and said angrily, "You're too stupid. Didn't you say you were already enlightened?"

"Can't you use cultivation to increase food production?"

"Can't we use our cultivation to make better, cheaper, and more practical clothes?"

"Can't we use our cultivation level to build even more magnificent structures?"

"There are so many things you can do with your cultivation level!"

"Ying Zheng, you are no longer the Qin state of the past. You are the mighty Qin Dynasty, where everyone is like a dragon."

"Your thinking needs to be updated."

Ying Zheng suddenly understood!

"Yes, Master is right. It's my own thinking that hasn't kept up."

It was no longer the ordinary Qin state.

They are the Great Qin Holy Dynasty, where everyone is like a dragon and possesses cultivation!

Things that were impossible or unthinkable in the past can now be achieved.

Therefore, the Great Qin Dynasty will surely surpass all other countries in terms of food, utensils, housing, and entertainment!

"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"

"On behalf of all the people of the Great Qin Dynasty, this disciple bows in gratitude to Master!"

Ying Zheng kowtowed three times.

Chu Qing accepted it calmly.

After Ying Zheng finished bowing, he slowly said, "Get up."

"I have something to give you that will be useful to you."

After saying that, Chu Qing took out a book from the system space and threw it to Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng took the scroll and read it carefully.
