Chapter 130: What is Earth?

lage.The village still has papermaking, steel smelting, and gunpowder waiting for him!These core technologies are the foundation that allows him to continue developing.As he said, his hometown is his..."Why"

Li Yuxiang asked in surprise.

She believes that although their strength is still weak now, with Yang Lin's ability and her backing, they will surely accomplish great things!

"Because that King Yong'an is the best example!"

"My lady, think about it. King Yong'an has ten thousand soldiers and a strong fortress, yet look at his current state"

"This..."

Li Yuxi frowned.

She knew that Eternal Peace City was now besieged by a large army. When the conscripted laborers arrived, Eternal Peace City would undoubtedly fall!

"Our current strength is far too weak. Even if we wanted to rebel, we must remain patient and bide our time. We need to learn the wisdom of building high walls, amassing provisions, and only proclaiming ourselves king when ready. Otherwise, General Yong'an's fate will be ours!"

Yang Lin's words shocked Li Yuyao completely.

Raise high walls, store abundant grain, and appease the king with flattery!

Li Yuxiang kept muttering to herself.

These nine short words actually sum up the key point!

"Well, what are we going to do about it"

Yang Lin smiled and said, "Actually, if you think about it from a different angle, this matter isn't difficult to handle."

If we were commoners of the Great Qin, then after killing the county magistrate, he definitely wouldn't let us go.

But what if we ourselves are highway robbers Bandits don't need reasons to kill, and they won't find our heads!

Everyone was stunned, and then exclaimed in surprise.

Li Yuxiang exclaimed in surprise, "Are you going to pretend to be a bandit This...this isn't right, is it"

"What's wrong with that" Yang Lin touched his nose. "With the identity of bandits, we can do things ordinary people can't! And as long as we don't harm innocent people and only target corrupt officials, we are doing good deeds for the people and acting on behalf of heaven!"

Yet, Yang Lin's words left everyone present speechless.

On second thought, I actually find what he said to be quite reasonable.

Yang Lin squinted and continued, "There are so many bandits in Jianghe County, yet the government doesn't seem to suppress them. To the government, ordinary people are easy to bully, while the bandits in the deep mountains are hard to deal with!"

This time, let's pretend to be bandits. I want to see how the magistrate will deal with us.

Everyone fell silent.

Although Li Yuxiang didn't want to admit it, she knew Yang Lin was telling the truth.

And this is also the tragedy of the Daqian officialdom!

On one hand, parents officials are afraid to provoke bandits, but they can arbitrarily control the common people!

"Well, you make sense. I support you!" Li Yuyao said.

Just pretend to be a bandit, and this matter will be easily settled.

Ziyì asked, “What about the conscription of civilians This time, those conscripted are surely headed for certain death!”

After she finished speaking, silence fell over the room once more.

Even Yang Lin and Li Yu Yao, who are usually the most opinionated, didn't say anything.

Everyone suddenly realized that there was nothing they could do about this situation, and they could only let those common people pay for their lives with their lives!

Yang Lin clenched his fists tightly, his face expressionless, but anyone could tell he was gritting his teeth!

He still had some plans.

After hearing the information Purple Clothes sent back, Yang Lin knew that his plans were insignificant against the current of events; they were like trying to stop a chariot with one's arms!

Even if I could muster a force of 500 men, what would it amount to in an army of 30,000 laborers

Even if he could save these five hundred people, what difference would it make There are still thirty thousand civilians!

Thirty thousand people, thirty thousand lives.

There's nothing I can do!

Yang Lin slowly let out a breath. "Damn it!"

"What the hell is going on!"

With a sigh and an expletive, Yang Lin felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

In his rebirth, he intended to live a carefree life, playing the game of life, earning some money casually, becoming a wealthy man, ensuring his and his family's safety. Even if the sky fell outside, it would have nothing to do with him.

Now, having gone through countless life-or-death situations and witnessed one by one the people around him fall before his eyes, his heart could no longer ignore the world.

"I once heard a saying, 'With great power comes great responsibility.'"

"My lady, do you think there will ever be a day of peace in this world A day without war, where everyone has enough to eat and wear Where no one starves, and no commoners are forced onto the battlefield"

"This..."

Li Yuyao shook her head. "Impossible."

She has read history books and knows that history is also a history of war!

"Yeah, it's really not likely."

Yang Lin nodded absently, but his eyes lit up with a glimmer of excitement as he said, "Although we don't have it yet, we can use this as our goal and work towards building a unified world where there is no war and all people can live in peace and prosperity! What do you think"

Yang Lin's eyes swept over the few people.

Every face was etched with incredulous shock, even Li Yuyáo's.

Compared to Yang Lin's goal, her goal of regaining the throne is insignificant.

"Good! This is our goal!" Li Yuyao clenched her fist.

Big sister, second sister, Xiaoqi, Xiaoba, and Xiaojiu were both nervous and excited!

Is this treason

That's so exciting!

"But... how exactly are we supposed to do this" Xiao Jiu asked in confusion.

Yang Lin thought for a moment: "First, let's set a goal."

"Uprising in a year, conquer the entire Great Qin within three years! Flatten all surrounding countries within five years, and unify the world under one banner in twenty years! Establish a unified Earth!"

Then, just work towards that goal.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Li Yuyao asked in puzzlement, "What is Earth"

Well...

Yang Lin only then realized that the people in this world didn't yet know that the world was a sphere.

Yang Lin thought carefully, this world and the previous world's history were completely different, so geographically, wouldn't it also be different

Even though they are different, this world also has the sun and moon, and the four seasons with twenty-four solar terms. This shows that even if there are differences, the size of this planet won't differ too much.

"Earth, ah, is our world, including all the continents and oceans beyond them. All together, it's called Earth!"

Li Yuxi swallowed hard.

"...also included Tubo, Turkic, Xiongnu Eastern Territories, the Northern Barbarians, Dali, Dangxiang, Goryeo... these countries"

"Of course included!" Yang Lin smiled, "They and Dàqián are all on the same continent. Outside the continent, there is a vast ocean. And beyond the ocean, there are vast lands. There may be some messed-up countries over there... Anyway, this world is very, very big!"

Li Yuyao's eyes were full of longing.

The world is so big, she really wants to see it!

"Can we really... rule the world" Li Yuhua asked subconsciously.

>Yang Lin just smiled and said, "Everyone, get some rest."

Uh

Everyone was taken aback.

Out of the blue, you're talking about going to sleep.

Yang Lin continued, "Because in a dream, anything is possible!"or"...Outside the forest, a large group of people were running frantically towards this direction."Hey, hey! Are you alright""Just now a bolt of lightning struck the forest. Are you all alright"When t...
