Chapter 544 Despair
Chapter 544 Despair
In other words, why did Zhou Ming suddenly want to help Dong Yuanzhou?
Is it just for the sake of the mother and daughter?
Of course not, this is only a small factor.
The big reason is: he doesn't really want Wancheng Kingdom to go too smoothly, expand too far, and remain invincible for a long time.
Invincibility is never a good thing.
Pretty scary even.
Personal invincibility may be unscrupulous, do whatever they want, be arrogant, and become extremely ignorant and arrogant.
The destructiveness of national invincibility is even greater. Even if it can be unrestrained for a while, over time, it will either embark on the road of wanton aggression and expansion, plundering resources crazily, or tend to be conservative and consider itself "the kingdom of heaven" and lose the motivation to move forward. Give up self-improvement, and be surpassed in the complacency.
In the end, like the planet overlord dinosaurs that suddenly disappeared, they perished in the drastic changes in the environment.
Are there few such examples in history, such as Zhou Ming's braided dynasty in the real world, and the former superpower country M, how many small and medium countries fought because they felt invincible?
Even so, after becoming the only superpower, country M still lists country Z as a containment target, always trying to subvert it?
Because country M knows in its heart: it is impossible to have no opponent, if there is no one, create one!
In short, you must not stop at the same place, eat and wait to die!
The same reason.
Wan Chengguo also needs a competitor, a rival with equal strength, an opponent who can cheer him up all the time.
In this way, Wancheng Kingdom will continue to progress, grow and remain strong.
The only one who has the qualifications and strength to be the opponent of Wancheng Kingdom is Dongyuanzhou. If Dongyuanzhou is destroyed, for a long time, the opponent of Wancheng Kingdom may only be himself.
Are there any problems within Wancheng?
of course.
There are even many interest classes, or giant families who plan to establish a country in other continents.
The continuous growth of these interest groups or families will sooner or later become an unstable factor in the division of Wancheng Kingdom.
If there is no certain external force to suppress it, it will be very difficult for Wancheng Kingdom to maintain a unified state with a low degree of cohesion.
So the decision to pull Dong Yuanzhou a hand was definitely not Zhou Ming's whim.
……
a few months later.
A lot of people from other places flooded into Xuanqing City.
Although some outsiders tried their best to avoid speaking, they would still reveal their strong Dongyuanzhou accent when they spoke.
Any Wancheng countryman who has been to Dongyuanzhou can recognize this accent after a little listening, which is unique to Dongyuanzhou.
In fact, Zhou Ming, who had wandered in other continents for seven years, was most surprised why the human beings in all places spoke the same language and used basically the same characters?
Even if some continents are separated by millions or tens of millions of miles, the language and characters used by people are not very different.
Completely accessible communication.
Zhou Ming could only guess: After the creation of this Lingyuan Continent, all intelligent human beings should come from the same ethnic group, and then scattered all over the place.
Of course, due to the barrier of miasma forests, there are still big differences in the accents of different continents. One side supports the other side, and the relatively closed environment forms a variety of accents.
No matter how you cover it up, it will still be exposed inadvertently.
His father, Bai Xutang, gave feedback to Zhou Ming: A businessman told him that many Dongyuanzhou people had entered Xuanqing City recently, and they didn't seem to be doing serious business. He told him to be vigilant and send someone to investigate.
He asked Zhou Ming what to do?
"Don't pay too much attention to it. Dongyuanzhou merchants are all over the world. It's normal to have a few here." Zhou Ming said.
"However, the country has stepped up the blockade of Dongyuanzhou recently. I suspect that there is something wrong with these Dongyuanzhou people..." Bai Xutang said hesitantly. He is not a fool. There are so many, I like shopping very much, but I don’t know where the money comes from.
"Then let's strengthen the monitoring a little bit. If there is any change, we will deal with it."
Today, the urban population of Xuanqing City has swelled to 500 million, most of whom are foreigners, and there are even many cheap laborers and smugglers from Nanyuanzhou. The law and order of the environment is a bit difficult. When it comes to strengthening monitoring, it can only be strengthened a little.
"That's all it takes."
Bai Xutang nodded and said, since succeeding as the city lord of Xuanqing City, with the increase of various difficult affairs, he has become more and more powerless, and his gray hair has increased a lot in the past few years.
He wanted to quit many times and let the young and vigorous Zhou Ming be the lord of the city. He retired early, took his wife to travel around, and lived a happy and comfortable old life.
But Zhou Ming is also not interested in the position of city lord. He is a fairy, and he cannot stay in the mortal world forever. It just so happens that his younger brother Bai Feijian has average aptitude and is good at handling various government affairs. Zhou Ming intends to cultivate him. These years let him Got exercise in many positions.
Once he leaves Xuanqing City and Bai Xutang passes away, he will probably take care of Xuanqing City.
Of course, Bai Xutang is only in his early sixties now, and he complains, but he can actually work for a few more years.
Zhou Ming often consulted with Zhou Ming about matters that he could not make up his mind about.
However, a few months later.
Xuanqing Airport in the north of the city.
Standing in the high airport observation tower, watching an ordinary-looking Royal Airliner slowly land, stop on the runway, and board the gangway. Among the hundreds of passengers who walked down, I saw one wearing a white windbreaker, Wearing a wide-brimmed hat and large green sunglasses, a young woman with light makeup, only showing a round chin, cherry red lips and a delicate Qiong nose, followed by an old man, slowly walked down the gangway, looking around from time to time.
Zhou Ming in the tower shook his head again and again.
Helpless smile.
He murmured: "Who would have guessed that a supreme palace master who sits on millions of miles of mountains and rivers and controls the fate of 60 billion people, whose status is extremely noble and loved by the people, would actually move his body and travel thousands of miles to come here in person?" What an honor for my city to be in a remote and backward place like Xuanqing City?"
"What kind of nonsense, but no one succeeded in stopping it?"
This courage is really big to the extent of the sky.
……
The young woman who was getting off the passenger plane, with a Dongyuanzhou accent, was amazed:
"The city of Wancheng Kingdom, is this the city of Wancheng Kingdom?"
"Advanced, clean, beautiful, unrivaled."
"That building is at least a hundred stories high? There are still three buildings side by side. In Dongyuanzhou, the tallest building is only 80 floors, and the number is pitifully small."
"Psychic cars, there are psychic cars everywhere on the street, there are also some gasoline buses, and there are also many rail trains... All kinds of cars make the city roads congested and busy."
"In Dongyuanzhou, the most developed city in my country, the number of psychic cars is only a few thousand, and very few people can afford them. Most of them run on dirt and gravel roads, and there are also a large number of ox carts and horse carts. The driveway, excreted at will, not only covered the sky with dust, but also extremely dirty and smelly."
"And the people here are dressed in fashionable and beautiful clothes, and the people are highly educated. Most of them are polite and gentle, just like a civilized country."
"Technology is even more developed, culture and entertainment, prosperity and development, such a grand scene is enviable."
Along the way, all the way to visit, Jiang Ruyue kept admiring and sighing from time to time.
The city in front of her visually gave her a lot of shock and a huge impact.
In the past, she had heard the description of the development and prosperity of Wancheng Kingdom from businessmen or diplomats who had been to Wancheng Kingdom. She always felt that it was a bit exaggerated and could not be sure.
But seeing it with her own eyes, she found that those people did not lie or exaggerate.
Even more prosperous than they describe.
It also made her terrified and shocked.
For a few moments, as noble as her, thoughts of inferiority and insignificance arose in her heart.
She thought to herself: "Xuanqing City is only a medium-sized city among the cities of Wancheng Kingdom. If I look at the more prosperous cities with a population of tens of millions or tens of millions, how will I feel? "
She began to understand why, in Dongyuan Continent, when she asked those businessmen or officials who had been to Wancheng Kingdom and how they felt about Wancheng Kingdom, the expressions on those people's faces were not pride and excitement, but It is the deep inferiority complex, the deep words, and the unambitious comments such as "in 50 years, it will be difficult to surpass".
Jiang Ruyue was very angry, she patted the table and said: In 50 years, is it so difficult to surpass Wancheng Country?How long does it take?
50 years is at least, maybe even 80 years, 100 years... Knowing that she is very angry, there are still people who answer her like this.
Let your mother fart!
Are you suffering from osteoarthritis?Do you think Wancheng Kingdom is so powerful? !
Jiang Ruyue's face was livid, and she really wanted to swear and swear, but seeing that they still looked so hopeless, she could only hold back her anger.
But extremely unconvinced is certain.
But after walking around Xuanqing City today, Jiang Ruyue's dissatisfaction has long since dissipated.
It turned into a little inferiority complex, as well as a strong sense of urgency and crisis.
"This remote city of Xuanqing seems to be three to fifty years ahead of Xiaole City (the capital of Dongyuanzhou). What about the most prosperous capital city of Wancheng Kingdom?"
50 years.
Surpassing in about 50 years has become Jiang Ruyue's most optimistic estimate now.
But 50 years later, does Dongyuanzhou still exist?
Will the Wancheng Congress give Dongyuanzhou 50 years of development time?
shook his head.
Very pessimistic.
For a moment, Jiang Ruyue didn't care to watch the scenery, and fell into extreme anxiety, and even despair for a short moment.
