Chapter 76 Negotiation
For now, this is all conjecture.
However, one thing is certain.
Zhou Anzhi...
He is free!
What benefits can a free Zhou Anzhi bring to Li Ge?
Li Ge narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Currently, Zhou Anzhi's receiving the power of faith is equivalent to me receiving the power of faith."
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible for Zhou Anzhi to gain much more faith by traveling around than just a few villages today?"
…
After Li Ge thought about it, he began to ask Zhou Anzhi to negotiate with the officials.
You can lend this group of chicken and duck warriors.
The premise is that the official is willing to build a temple to worship Zhou Anzhi locally.
However, the ugly words are ahead.
"Even if a sacrificial temple is built, it may not be able to completely prevent the 'uprising' of monsters, chickens and ducks."
Zhou Anzhi said seriously.
"If the beliefs of local residents are not strong enough and the traditional divine order cannot be established or is not strong enough, these monsters will naturally become 'resisters' and riot."
The implication is that local residents not only need to believe in the "Lord of the Land", but also need to be pious and sincere.
If you want to achieve this goal, official support is definitely indispensable.
Yes, this is Li Ge's little plan.
He must bring the officials of the Kyushu Kingdom to his side.
When Li Ge was planning, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he thought of this scene.
You know, the official propaganda of "atheism" has been for an unknown amount of time.
Now, I have to slap myself in the face.
I wonder if the official promotion was so embarrassing that they could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with their toes on the ground?
Moreover, letting officials participate in publicity is not just to embarrass the officials.
Li Ge didn't just want to have fun in the moment.
This incident has a huge impact on the cooperation between Li Ge and the Kyushu Kingdom.
After the government helped the "Tuigong" propaganda, the so-called "revival of the traditional immortal system" became more and more obvious.
And the official also officially recognized it.
In other words, as long as Li Ge himself doesn't do anything outrageous, he won't face a blatant attack from Kyushu officials.
Things like nuclear bomb strikes that Li Ge had worried about before were almost impossible to happen.
However, petty intrigues are naturally inevitable.
However, Li Ge is confident that he will not lose.
At this time, Li Ge clenched his chin and tilted his head, watching the heated negotiations on the field.
——I really want to see with my own eyes the way Kyushu officials suppress and aggrieve themselves in promoting the gods.
Li Ge murmured secretly, but he couldn't wait in his heart.
…
However, Kyushu officials are not vegetarian either.
After all, among them are the elites among a population of 1.6 billion.
After Zhou Anzhi's answer was sent back, they decided to send negotiators to conduct face-to-face negotiations with Zhou Anzhi.
After hearing the news, Zhou Anzhi went crazy!
"Oh God... help me! Little old man, I am still a child less than two years old... Wuwuwuwu... I really can't fight against those people..."
Zhou Anzhi hugged Li Ge's thigh and cried loudly.
Li Ge: "..."
Tmd, can’t refute!
Because Zhou Anzhi was indeed born less than two years ago.
In fact, Li Ge was also a little confused.
Because, although Zhou Anzhi was born with a spiritual body, he also looked like an old man.
However, in terms of battle of wits and courage, they are really no match for the elites of the Kyushu Kingdom.
One is because of limited horizons.
Since Zhou Anzhi was born, he has only been in contact with the surrounding villagers. These villagers have no scheming intentions. Even if there are a few scheming people, they have to pretend to be glamorous in front of their ancestors.
Second, it’s also because of time.
Those who want to negotiate with Zhou Anzhi are all old foxes who have been fighting with others all their lives!
It would be bad if Zhou Anzhi revealed something during the negotiation!
In response, Li Ge let out a long sigh, feeling that he urgently needed a shrewd, capable and deceptive agent.
However, looking around...
Forget it, each one is stupider than the other.
"Okay, when the time comes, I will possess you." Li Ge replied helplessly.
I'll do it in person, that's all right!
…
Unexpectedly, on the day of the negotiation, it was still Yi Jincang who came.
Moreover, the location was arranged in the ancestral hall of Zhoubao.
After all, it's quiet and secluded here.
With Zhou Anzhi's order, there will be no more disturbances from other people.
Li Ge, who was possessed by Zhou Anzhi, looked around in shock.
"What about the rest?"
Yi Jincang smiled good-naturedly, showing a simple and honest look that had been assimilated by the peasants.
"They have too many things to do and can't come in person, so... video calls and online negotiations."
After saying that, he put down the large and small bags on his back, turned on the instrument, and pointed it at Zhou Anzhi's ranking.
With a "buzzing" sound, the machine started running.
Suddenly, a long table appeared in the camera, and two rows of people were sitting on both sides of the table.
An elite aura that is not easy to mess with comes over you.
Li Ge: "..."
Fuck, is it amazing to have a video call?
There’s no need to move anywhere to buy tickets, so everyone counts, and everyone is dispatched?
To be honest, Li Ge felt a little uncomfortable at the moment.
Narrowing his eyes, Li Ge suddenly floated forward.
"Yo yo yo, there are so many people... tsk tsk tsk, it's just like that TV series."
Li Ge started to act crazy and showed Zhou Anzhi's old face on the camera.
——Are you making me uncomfortable? Then we can come and go!
Suddenly, everyone on the other side of the video was stunned.
This... is so different from the image of gods they imagined!
As a result, Li Ge completely let himself go in the subsequent negotiations.
Once asked about sensitive issues, such as the power structure of gods, Li Ge would scratch his head.
"I don't know, I don't know! I'm just a small land at the bottom."
"City God? Yes, yes, he is my boss. How much? I don't know!"
Be sure to negotiate terms with the land.
"This matter... I can't make the decision!"
"Hey...I'm just a baby under two years old, why are you making things so difficult for me..."
All in all, Li Ge used shamelessness as a means to act shamelessly, and blocked all the hard and soft methods of Jiuzhou officials.
Anyway, it was Zhou Anzhi who was possessed by Li Ge at this time, and it was Zhou Anzhi's image that was damaged...
Seeing the opponent's row of experts clenching their fists and gritting their teeth, with rage and collapse almost appearing in his eyes, Li Ge secretly laughed in his heart.
Sure enough, no matter how complicated the moves are, they can't compare to Cheng Yaojin's three-blade axe.
The premise is that the power of the three-blade ax can produce absolute suppression.
But now, Kyushu officials are seeking help from Li Ge, so a situation similar to "absolute suppression" has arisen.
Of course, Li Ge must make full use of this.
"Ahem." Li Ge cleared his throat and planned to get down to business.
After all, the opponent's patience seems to have reached its limit at this moment.
It would be bad if the game breaks down.
Li Ge looked serious.
"Actually, I, the little old man, can't make the decision on many things. As for whether the gods above can make the decision... little old man, I don't dare to make any arbitrary decisions."
"But I'm just telling you how I feel."
As soon as Li Ge said this, the person on the other side immediately became quiet and looked attentively listening.
"My little old man, my ability is extremely simple. It is nothing more than blessing a good harvest. This ability is not up to me."
"When a believer worships, his faith and the divine power given form a cycle. But the driving force lies with him, not me."
"And when he plows, the divine power flows into the fields."
"In other words, I am more like a cog in a huge system."
"But humans are the engine."
These words made the negotiating elites of Kyushu Kingdom look thoughtful.
If what is said about the so-called "land" opposite is true, maybe worshiping gods is not something that involves losing the initiative?
After all, it is humans who have the final say on whether to activate the "god" machine?
Of course, Li Ge had already planned this statement.
Showing weakness and showing strength are both necessary strategies.
For some forces that fear power but not morality, blindly showing strength is the simplest, crudest and most effective way.
However, for Kyushu Kingdom, no.
This country, this nation, has always been a nation that says, "If the gods are unjust, I will kill the gods."
They fear heaven and earth and are willing to coexist with any god.
However, the premise is equality.
Once any superior being tries to break their backbone and block their way forward...
They will become Hou Yi who shoots the sun, Jingwei who fills the sea, and Yu Gong who moves mountains.
No matter life or death, no matter strong or weak.
To resist is just to fight to the death.
In his previous life, Li Ge was from Kyushu, and he knew how tenacious the souls in this land were.
Therefore, on the land of Kyushu Kingdom, even if Li Ge pretended to be a god, he never thought of adopting extreme rule.
It’s mutual benefit, so why be so rigid?
However... if it is the territory of other countries...
Li Ge was distracted for a moment and thought about the time when his territory was endless.
"Hehe, after all, the national conditions are different. If they don't rely on mutual benefit, I wouldn't mind engaging in violent rule."
…
This negotiation was quite successful.
Although Li Ge did not give a positive guarantee, the vague truth he revealed was actually a confession to the Kyushu official.
——The land cannot actively interfere in human affairs.
Therefore, at least in Kyushu, building temples for the Earth God will not have a huge negative impact on the human social system.
As for the city god on the land?
Li Ge didn't say anything, and the officials also deliberately avoided it.
After all, if the city god is really like the myth, and can judge good and evil across yin and yang, it will be a proper "interference in the internal affairs of mankind."
It makes no sense to bring it up at this time, but it will cause cracks in the cooperation between the two parties.
"so……"
The officials looked at each other.
After turning off the video connection, they began to discuss countermeasures.
"Publicity is necessary."
"But...science..."
This is where Kyushu officials hesitate.
Science, as opposed to theology.
It is an independent discipline developed by human beings and belongs to human beings.
Never throw it away.
