Subsequently, Zhang Cailiang rose from his seat and addressed the Emperor,

Your Majesty, I have an idea, although Im uncertain of its feasibility.

The Emperor of Jinwei Land, growing somewhat impatient, replied, Regardless of feasibility, please, proceed. In our current predicament, having any potential solution is already a welcome development.

Zhang Cailiang, sensing the urgency, wasted no time and explained, Your Majesty, it seems clear that neither officials families nor common households can retrieve the women from the paG.o.da. This suggests that Xu Xunnan and the paG.o.da possess a protective influence.

For centuries, the women of Jinwei Land have been unable to cultivate, resulting in their marginalized status.

Ordinary women are treated as subordinates, even lower than servants, creating a discontent that unites them.

Our approach may not be to target the people directly, but rather to focus on their leader, Xu Xunnan.

Shes currently in the spotlight, leading a significant number of women.

Nonetheless, the future may not be as accommodating. Once weve managed to pacify these individuals, they cannot remain within the paG.o.da indefinitely.

In that case, we can negotiate with Xu Xunnan. If she is willing to cooperate with you, dealing with those women should become considerably more manageable.

At that point, you neednt fret about Jinwei Land reverting to its former state.

Do the people hold you in high regard?

After Zhang Cailiang concluded his a.n.a.lysis, a faint smile touched his lips.

The Emperor of Jinwei Land, upon hearing this, recognized the practicality of the proposal in the current circ.u.mstances.

But Xu Xunnan is quite obstinate. Even Minister Xu finds it challenging to sway her. What conditions could entice her to agree? inquired the Emperor of Jinwei Land.

Zhang Cailiang grinned. Evidently, he had antic.i.p.ated this query. When I devised this plan, I naturally considered the conditions.

Simple.

After all, she is just a woman.

Womens desires are quite straightforward.

We offer her supreme status, the prestige of a Paragon, as well as vast riches, gold, silver, jewelry, and wealth. She may select any outstanding man within Jinwei Land.

These incentives should prove enticing to a woman, dont you think?

Moreover, all of these are easily within the Emperors means.

As the situation gradually stabilizes, we can more easily manage her over

time, Zhang Cailiang suggested.

As the Emperor of Jinwei Land attentively absorbed Zhang Cailiangs proposal, a smile gradually graced his countenance, reflecting his satisfaction.

However

Despite his contentment, Zhang Cailiang remained mindful of his relatively lower status as a thousandth of a tael (use it judiciously) official.

Upon concluding his statement, he s.h.i.+fted his gaze towards Xu Yuanlong. It was apparent that he was considering whether Xu Yuanlong might take offense, given that she was his daughter.

Recognizing this, Xu Yuanlong swiftly rea.s.sured, Its my duty, its my duty. Xu Xunnan has committed such a disgraceful act. Its my responsibility to address it. If theres any way I can be of a.s.sistance, I will not hesitate!

Regardless of Xu Xunnan being his daughter, Xu Yuanlong comprehended the hierarchy of importance in this matter..
