Chapter 410 Pooling Wisdom and Strength
Every individual is but a grain of sand in the face of the times.

In peacetime, under every historical education video, there will be someone commenting, "Wait until you travel back to ancient times and get massacred by the Qin army, then let's see if you still consider yourself the First Emperor!"

While this viewpoint may seem argumentative, it is indeed a true test of human nature when it becomes reality.

Commenting on history and viewing history are all about looking back from the perspective of posterity, taking a macro-level view, and using a correct historical perspective.

But when individuals become part of history, few can maintain that rationality and sense of the bigger picture.

"Winning hearts and minds, that's the real way to win hearts and minds."

Historians, learning from history, can naturally understand how this action was so devastating, killing both the person and their spirit.

In order to eliminate the threat posed by the Ancestral Dragon, the Civilization Trial Grounds are trying to uproot the entire Eastern Kingdom!
Compared to this method, foreign Ultraman and Optimus Prime are nothing.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the atmosphere in the meeting room gradually became heavy.

Professor Liu stood on the podium, took a deep breath, and said, "I now entrust the task to you all. Please develop an effective plan centered on Lin Xiaohe. The primary requirement of the plan is to ensure Lin Xiaohe's safety. The second requirement is to complete the tasks in the training ground as much as possible. The third point is to deal with this crisis of trust and understanding."

The Eastern government is pursuing a two-pronged approach: seeking solutions on the trial grounds while simultaneously guiding public opinion and testing the public's pressure threshold in reality.

Bai Kaixiu finally understood why he and his team had been brought to the venue.

Developing a response plan certainly wouldn't have been possible without these historians.

"In ancient times, human life was cheap. To survive, one had to attain a noble status. Only with a high enough status could one accomplish more. How about we have Principal Lin find an opportunity to enter the political arena of Zhao?"

Bai Kaixiu denied it without hesitation: "No way! Since the Battle of Handan, the political arena in Zhao has been extremely corrupt. Lin Xiaohe is Lian Po's adopted daughter, and she is inextricably linked to Lian Po. Historically, Lian Po had a very powerful political enemy, namely Guo Kai, the favorite minister of both King Daoxiang of Zhao and King Qian of Zhao."

“Lin Xiaohe is still young and is easily targeted by Guo Kai.”

Bai Kaixiu is right.

Lin Xiaohe's identity is too factional, making it impossible for her to navigate the complexities of being popular with both sides.

The psychologist agreed, saying, "Based on our understanding of Principal Lin, she is not well-suited to be in the center of political power."

If Principal Lin retains her original memories, that would be fine. But if she doesn't, given her fiery temper, she wouldn't be able to tolerate Zhao Wangqian's incompetence and ineptitude.

It is highly likely that Lin Xiaohe will choose death over dishonor, launch a coup that very night, and kill Zhao Wang Qian.

After listening to the psychologist's analysis, Bai Kaixiu's head was buzzing with pain. He thought to himself, "No wonder the country has to organize so many people to discuss countermeasures. There are just too many aspects to consider!"

Just then, Lao Meng raised another difficulty: "We know where the contestants are located, what their names are, and what their identities are. Does Principal Lin know this? Even if we can compile all the statistics, based on our experience of calling for external assistance last time, the Civilization Trial Grounds will not give us that much time to communicate."

The specific details of 30 contestants could not be fully explained in ten minutes.

A collective gasp filled the room.

The task is truly arduous.

Bai Kaixiu frowned as he flipped through the documents in his hand. He was a rather old-fashioned scholar who disliked electronic materials and preferred to peruse paper documents, enjoying the scent of ink.

The personal data of 30 contestants would be taller than a dictionary if stacked up. Fortunately, the organizers have analysts who compile statistics, allowing them to better understand the situation.

Of the 30 contestants, over 20 were ordinary citizens, and 4 were from the Qin state, so the data is relatively balanced.

There were about 6 of them, who were artisans, mostly from the states of Zhao and Qi.

The rest were nobles, wandering knights, scholars, and the like, but none of them were nobles of the Qin state.

This demonstrates the malice the Civilization Trial Grounds harbored towards the contestants from the Eastern Kingdom.

Bai Kaixiu closed the documents and said decisively, "Choose the lesser of two evils. We should try to save the 20 civilians first. I suggest we first create momentum and gain reputation and prestige."

People with high prestige among the people are not only more likely to gain the support of ordinary citizens, but also lay the groundwork for gaining a voice in the political arena in the future.

But how does one gain prestige?

On the large screen, suggestions from the crowd flashed by one after another.

Bai Kaixiu closed his eyes and concentrated, pondering what major events would occur in the Seven Kingdoms during this period.

This year, Qin will attack Wei, fighting at Juancheng, to further weaken the three Jin states and consolidate its eastward expansion route.

Two years later, the State of Yan launched a major war against the State of Zhao, but was decisively defeated by Lian Po and subsequently besieged by Zhao. Although Zhao won, it exhausted its last reserves of strength, and it was from this point that Lian Po's political career began to decline in Zhao.

In the same year, King Zhaoxiang of Qin died, and King Xiaowen of Qin ascended the throne.

In other words, Lin Xiaohe doesn't have much time left.

Lian Po's aura could only protect her for two years.

She must establish herself within two years and, if possible, try to ease tensions with the First Emperor within that timeframe to prepare for the mission.

So how can we quickly establish prestige? What does the State of Zhao need most at this moment?
Bai Kaixiu's eyes lit up: "Agriculture! Zhao State lacks young and strong men, and its agriculture is on the verge of collapse. If Lin Xiaohe makes moves in this area, they won't be easily worried. What's even better is that Lin Xiaohe herself is an agricultural graduate student with a wealth of knowledge. This is almost a development path tailor-made for Lin Xiaohe."

Don't underestimate farmers.

Mozi, as a representative of handicrafts, was able to establish the Mohist school, which could shake politics.

The reason why the Agricultural School, which is also one of the Hundred Schools of Thought, did not have such a great influence was not because the Agricultural School had fewer people or less power, but because the Agricultural School only focused on production and did not put forward its own political propositions.

Although the agricultural school of thought was less powerful during the Warring States period than during the Spring and Autumn period, it wasn't without its members. Lin Xiaohe could easily take over the agricultural school's influence with her solid agricultural knowledge and the prestige she had cultivated!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, she could then propose political ideas that align with the Qin state, thus easing tensions!
Bai Kaixiu's suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone.

Building on this, Lao Meng added, "She also needs a real territory of her own to put her ideas and abilities into practice for the whole world."

Putting aside other aspects, Zulong did an excellent job in respecting talent.

As long as Lin Xiaohe displays talent sufficient to attract his attention, Zulong will not care about the humiliation of his youth.

If she's lucky enough, Lin Xiaohe might even make a name for herself during the reign of King Xiaowen of Qin!
