In terms of talent, Guan Zhong is indeed much better than Lin Zexu.
Although Lin Zexu was a civil servant, his skills actually had a combat nature.
For example, [prevent blockage] and [eliminate cigarettes].
??Defense: When Lin Zexu defends the border, the defense of the border city will increase, and the defense of the soldiers will increase.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the smoke: igniting the smoke, the combat effectiveness and movement speed of your own soldiers will increase.
??Whether it is preventing blockages or destroying cigarettes, these are definitely combat skills. There is no war in Cheongju Province now, so these two skills are considered useless.
Two more useless skills means two less useful skills!
At this point, Lin Zexu is at a disadvantage.
But does he have civil service skills? some.
For example, skills such as building water conservancy and stabilizing homes are all excellent skills for governing the country.
It can be said that Lin Zexu was a master of both civil and military arts.
???????????????????? But sometimes what people who are both civil and military practitioners say sounds good, but compared to people who specialize in a certain field, it is a little weaker.
So when Lin Zexu abdicated in favor of someone more powerful, Cheng Mu naturally agreed after he revealed his skills.
As for Guan Zhong¡¯s skills, Cheng Mu also inquired about them.
??Specialize in the interests of mountains and seas, respect the king and fight against barbarians, use money to protect the country, etc.
??The benefits of mountains and seas: the land governed by Guan Zhong has an increase in gold coin production.
Respect the king and repel the barbarians: Enhance national prestige, enhance national morale, and enhance the hearts and minds of the people under your rule.
Currency for the country: Significantly increase or decrease the currency of one's own country/other countries.
Three skills, two related to money.
If Fan Li is a business sage, he knows how to make more money. Guan Zhong is the ancestor who played with money, and the earliest currency war came from his hands.
After sounding the clarion call for currency war with the Hengshan Strategy, he even used the Jingmao Strategy to make Lu surrender without spending a single soldier.
This is the horror of currency wars.
In fact, Cheng Mu was not interested in Guan Zhong's money-based strategy.
What he wants is Guan Zhong¡¯s first skill, specializing in the power of mountains and seas.
This increase in gold coin production is not just about increasing the production of gold coins or gold mines, it can also enhance people's trade concepts and better develop the economy.
Now, there is a group of wealthy people in the Apocalypse Empire who specialize in gold coins, the Tianniao clan.
The demand for gold coins has always been in short supply.
??Actually, there is one more thing.
If conditions permit, Cheng Mu would not mind the first currency war after the mutation. I heard that your Song Empire is very rich? Then Guan Zhong liked rich countries very much.
"However, although Lin Zexu abdicated in favor of a more powerful person, he still has a chance.
Cheng Mu promised him that after studying hard with Guan Zhong, Lin Zexu will definitely have a place in the future governors of Mingzhou Province, Songzhou Province, Jinzhou Province and other provinces.
Just like Guan Zhong cannot only have three skills on the panel. He, Lin Zexu, was an orthodox Jinshi, and he still had many skills under the hood.
Don¡¯t you know how to govern a country? Let¡¯s learn.

After learning about the affairs of Qingzhou Province, Cheng Mu rushed non-stop to the Tang Empire and the Anbei Protectorate.
In order to show his sincerity, Li Shimin did not place the swearing-in place in the capital Chang'an or in Qingzhou Province.
The Anbei Protectorate was located in the northernmost part of the Tang Empire, and its capital was only a few hundred kilometers away from Qingzhou Province.
The first time he set foot in the territory of the Tang Empire, Cheng Mu was already thinking.
How long will it take for me to truly bring the land under my feet under my control?
As the Tang Empire ranked second in terms of comprehensive national power, conquering it would definitely be several times more difficult than conquering the Qing Empire.
But what men like most is the pleasure after conquest?
"Haha! Good son-in-law!"
By the time Cheng Mu arrived at the Anbei Protectorate, Li Shimin had been waiting here for a long time.
Behind Li Shimin, a large group of dignitaries from the Tang Empire looked over curiously. Everyone was very curious about the virtuous son-in-law that Li Shimin praised so much.
"Father-in-law!"
Cheng Mu hurriedly stepped forward and expressed his enthusiasm.
Although I haven¡¯t married Princess Jinyang yet, I still have the superficial etiquette that I should have.
¡°He is truly a talented person.¡±
"This Lord of the Apocalypse Empire is actually so young!"
"The weapon is majestic, the young hero is?¡±
¡°It¡¯s worthy of the name! It¡¯s truly worthy of the name!¡±
"How do you feel? Why do you feel more elegant than the prince?"
"Be careful what you say!"
At the same time, the ministers behind Li Shimin were also talking a lot, whispering to each other, and nodding frequently.
You must know that what Cheng Mu came here this time was wearing [Emperor Kirin Armor].
The powerful power exuded from the armor alone is enough to make people marvel. Although the Tang Empire had such a majestic and heroic young talent, who could compare to Cheng Mu in terms of status?
As for high-quality armor? Li Shimin has.
But it has been many years since Li Shimin stopped wearing armor.
Therefore, as veterans of the Tang Empire, especially Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong and others, when they first saw Cheng Mu, they seemed to see the high-spirited young Li Shimin.
"Haha! Thank you for your hard work, my dear son-in-law."
Li Shimin Longyan took Cheng Mu's hand happily: "Come on, come on, I have prepared a dust-washing banquet for you!"
The banquet is a cleansing banquet, but the standard is definitely state banquet level.
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Cheng Mu did not refuse and was slowly pulled away by Li Shimin.
At the same time, in the crowd in the distance, the common people stretched their heads one by one, wanting to witness the heroic appearance of the Lord of the Apocalypse Empire.
"Is this Cheng Mu?"
Among the huge crowd, there was a man wearing red fluorescent armor with a disappointed look on his face.
¡°There¡¯s nothing special about it!¡±
In his opinion, apart from being handsome, there is nothing special about this Cheng Mu. However, the armor seemed to be more advanced than the armor on his body.
"I'm attracted to his armor."
At this time, a masked man in black robe next to him interrupted and told his request plainly.
"Can."
The man in red armor nodded: "As long as Cheng Mu is killed here, what is a set of armor?"
When they learned that Cheng Mu was coming to attend the swearing-in ceremony, they came over early to wait.
The purpose was, of course, to assassinate Cheng Mu.
"Brotherit's betterit's better to say goodbye, right?"
At this time, a weak voice came from behind the red armor.
This voice is not only weak, but also contains a hint of nervousness and fear.
The person who spoke was actually Cheng Mu¡¯s old acquaintance, Tianquan. And this man in red armor is Tian Quan¡¯s elder brother, the president of the Seven Kills Guild, Tian Shu!
"Don't?"
Tianshu turned around and pinched Tianquan's neck: "You have to watch out for me today! The Cheng Mu you fear is not invincible!"
He is roaring! Looking excited!
As soon as he saw his brother Tianquan looking so weak and incompetent, he wanted to slap him in the face.
Deep love, deep hatred!
In the past, my younger brother Tianquan was so high-spirited, fearless, and could be called a heroic young man. But now, since he escaped from Tianqi Kingdom, his whole person seems to have changed.
Weak and incompetent, as timid as a mouse, and timid.
How could this be his younger brother Tianshu!
"Really, we can't defeat it! We can't defeat it."
Being pinched by Tianshu¡¯s neck and lifted up, Tianquan was as limp as a ball of rotten meat.
Once upon a time, he thought he had stepped out of Cheng Mu's shadow. When he didn't hear or see the words Cheng Mu, he could sometimes remain rational.
But now, when he saw Cheng Mu, huge fear once again enveloped his heart.
At this moment, he only had one thought, and that was to escape.
The further away you can run, the better! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
