"I'm back......"

Gao Xiuzhen stood up, and replied in a cat-like voice, somehow, the anger in his chest instantly dissipated into nothing after seeing this man.

"What's the matter, Xiuzhen, what's wrong outside, or is there any difficulty? Tell me, I can help you. ”

Seeing that she was unhappy, as if she had something on her mind, she was not as cheerful as before, Zhou Ming thought she had encountered something outside, so she asked with concern.

"I didn't ...... No. ”

The woman shook her head, and the words that were originally buried in her heart and wanted to say were now unknown where to speak.

Seeing the man's smiling and extremely happy face again, Gao Xiuzhen didn't even have a reason to be angry, the man in front of her regarded her as a good friend, and she had always been one-sided lovesickness, which was self-inflicted.

What was she angry with in front of him, to the point of wanting to kill him?

It's ridiculous.

For a while, Gao Xiuzhen, who calmed down, felt discouraged and sad.

"Whatever comes your way, just come back and stay here for a while, Xiuzhen, I have a lot of questions for you. ”

The warm words in his ears were like a gust of spring rain, watering in the woman's heart, Gao Xiuzhen felt the beauty of life again, and at the same time, he was smiling bitterly in his heart:

Zhang Shanhe, why are you always so good?

……

The next few days.

It is rare for the two to have a longer period of time alone.

I spent all day and day discussing the question of spiritual practice.

Exchanging experiences in a quiet place outside the city, or comparing with a sword, often produces some collisions of ideas, and both sides gain a lot.

Grow together and improve together.

This kind of day almost made Gao Xiuzhen forget all his troubles.

After adjusting his mentality, Gao Xiuzhen found that this kind of life is actually very good.

It's just that every time she sees the scene of Zhang Shanhe and his wife's affection, she suddenly feels very bad, and it takes two to three days to adjust her mentality.

According to popular parlance, that's sprinkling dog food.

With Gao Xiuzhen's character, this is undoubtedly very painful.

So after living in the city capital for four or five days, she moved out and lived back in the villa in the Township Protection School, out of sight.

However, one day when discussing the problem, Gao Xiuzhen couldn't help but ask the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

"Shanhe, the trade in Zhenlin City has obviously been depressed a lot recently, I heard that you rejected Jin Yancheng's marriage request, Jin Yancheng was annoyed and angry, and increased the ...... of resistance and blockade."

Gao Xiuzhen asked euphemistically: "Mountains and rivers, marriages between families and between cities are very common, and they can also bring many benefits, why do you refuse?"

Could it be that it is really as circulated in Zhenlin City: the relationship between Zhang Shanhe and his wife has been so deep that "I would rather have a village aunt in the mountains and fields than a phoenix in Jincheng"?

If this is the case, Gao Xiuzhen, who was born in a big family, feels that this is a little incomprehensible, because it is obviously not in the interests of Zhenlin City.

The relationship between Zhang Shanhe and his wife is worthy of praise and affirmation, but it is not necessary to abandon huge interests in order to start from the beginning, right?

You don't need to divorce your wife, it's always okay to symbolically marry two equal wives, right?

But he blocked the road completely.

Hearing the woman's question, Zhou Ming smiled slightly, glanced at her and said, "You are not the first person to ask me this question, you may be ranked after a hundred." ”

"When people ask me why, I explain one or two points to them, and there are so many people who ask in the back that I don't bother to explain. ”

"But since Xiuzhen also asked, then I will explain to you in detail why I refused to marry. ”

Gao Xiuzhen nodded again and again, cheered up, and pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what the man had to say.

The man spoke:

"I have done a lot of research on the form of marriage, and I have found that this kind of bond linked by marriage and blood can indeed bring a lot of benefits. ”

"Many families that are obviously not very strong, but can stand for thousands of years or 10,000 years, the reason why they do not fall is that marriage adds a layer of security to them, even if the two families are on the same page, but considering that there has been a marriage, they will generally not be wiped out; when there is a crisis, they will help each other to tide over some difficulties. ”

"But that's about it. ”

"Marriage is not infallible, the starting point of all family marriages is never for the interests of other families, but for the interests of their own families, if they cannot bring benefits to their own families, or have no value to use, the marriage bond will be immediately severed, repentance and remarriage are very common, do not help, but fall into the well, there are also happens. ”

"If all families consider marriage purely for the interests of their own family, consider marriage according to the power of other families, and even want to gain benefits from the marriage partner, and will not necessarily help you in times of crisis, but may fall into the ground, how much is the real value of marriage left?"

"Personally, I think that instead of marrying with other families, it is better to attract some outstanding young people to join their own family, not to mention marrying one less daughter, but also to give more help. ”

"It's a lucrative deal!"

Zhou Ming made a joke.

Gao Xiuzhen nodded when he heard this, there was some truth in what he said.

But she still disagreed: "Aren't you offending all the families who want to marry with you by doing this?

Zhou Ming nodded slightly, and did not deny it: "Indeed, refusing to marry will indeed offend many families." ”

"But ......"

He changed his tone and said: "For the future Zhenlin City, the disadvantages brought by marriage will far outweigh the benefits it brings, if possible, I would rather offend all the big families that are not the forces of Zhenlin City, and I don't want those families outside to infiltrate Zhenlin City with the help of marriage." ”

Why?

Because the high-level system of Zhenlin City is completely different from other cities outside.

Zhenlin City implements the "city head election system", which is elected every five years and can be re-elected twice at most.

In general, Zhou Ming implemented a special management system based on democracy, mutual checks and balances of power, no absolute ruling class, and a set of excellent leader training mechanism.

As Zhou Ming, who was elected as the first city head with a high vote and was successfully re-elected, there are less than four years left in his term, and when these four years are over, he will unload his burden and do some of the things he likes to do.

Gao Xiuzhen was dumbfounded when he heard this, and asked in shock: "You mean, in another four years, you don't want this city, give it to others for nothing, so many benefits, don't give it all up?"

She looked at Zhou Ming like a fool and pointed at his head: "You are here, are you sure there is no problem?"

"What is it called giving to others for nothing, it belongs to my interests, there is no less, after entering the presbyterian meeting, I still have the right to discuss politics and vote......"

Zhou Ming gave her a blank look, and then took a lot of time to explain to her clearly, what is the so-called democratic centralized system, what is the difference, what are the advantages, and what is more vitality than the "family hereditary system" in other cities...... Blah blah bla

"That's ...... so"

Gao Xiuzhen, who finally figured it out, suddenly realized, and his eyes were full of admiration: "I didn't expect that a city or even a country can be governed like this?"

Genius, no, genius!

But she still didn't understand, Zhang Shanhe could be the undisputed lord of Zhenlin City, but he chose to be the head of the city that would be subject to a lot of constraints; he could be rich enough to rival the country, but he converted a large number of workshops, land, and assets into shares, and he only accounted for a small part of them.

A lot of things that could have belonged to him entirely, why would he share a large part?

She felt very incomprehensible, if she didn't know Zhang Shanhe quite well, she might have suspected that his brain was not normal, just like those people outside.

"Therefore, if this person's realm is not at the same level, it is difficult to communicate in many aspects. ”

Zhou Ming rolled his eyes, shook his head vigorously, and explained three reasons to the woman:

"One, the more things you have, the heavier the pressure you carry, a city of 500,000 people, I can't take care of it alone, thousands of various workshops, millions of acres of farmland, ten of them, I can't manage it. ”

"Two, I need to unite the people around me, I want everyone to contribute to the city, I have to give part of the benefits, reward the hard work, encourage them to continue to work hard! One person can't win the whole world, gather all the elites around me, let them dedicate their talents to the city, so that I can get relaxed and have time to do what I want to do. ”

"What do you want to do?" asked Gao Xiuzhen.

"This is the third reason, I plan to get rid of the distractions of mundane things before I turn 40, and concentrate on being the principal of the students in the Guardian Academy, and concentrate on the study of spiritual ...... In this world, after all, the strong are respected, and I want to see if I have the possibility of becoming a strong one. ”

Hearing this, Gao Xiuzhen's eyes suddenly widened, looking at the man in a daze, feeling that his brain had been swept by a broom, and everything suddenly became clear.

Everything is crystal clear.

It turns out that this man has planned everything and knows what he should do at any time.

Those who don't understand him, criticize him, and question him are actually self-righteous laymen and stupid people, and the gap between him and his ideological realm is like heaven to earth.

Gao Xiuzhen has only now thoroughly understood what kind of person he is.

She felt deeply ashamed, and after learning his true ambition, her blood was boiling, and she blurted out: "Shanhe, I will become stronger with you!"

After speaking, he felt that something was wrong, lowered his head, and his face turned into a red cloth.

Zhou Ming was very surprised, what did Xiuzhen mean, did she plan to stay?

He immediately clapped his hands and said, "That's great! With you, my cultivation speed will definitely be much faster!"

……

Zhou Ming's explanation completely convinced Gao Xiuzhen, making her thoughts transparent and gloomy.

However, she still took a leave of absence, left for a trip, did not know where she went, and returned to Zhenlin City two days later.

On the third day, Jinyan City sent an envoy who took the initiative to relent, saying that he agreed to the cooperation plan of the two cities, canceled the marriage requirements, no longer blocked each other, and resumed normal cooperation.

Zhou Ming agreed to cooperate, and the relationship between the two cities, after several ups and downs, finally embarked on a new path of development, and since then, the two cities have become increasingly closely connected and gradually become a community of interests.

And a powerful new country will also start with this small "Twin Cities Alliance", continue to expand, and eventually become unstoppable......
