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, it's just a small factor.

The big reason is that he doesn't want the Wancheng Kingdom to go too smoothly and expand too far, and he will be invincible in the world for a long time.

Invincible is never a good thing.

Even quite scary.

Personal invincibility can be unscrupulous, do whatever you want, be empty-sighted, and become extremely ignorant and arrogant.

The invincibility of the country is even more destructive, even if it can be chic for a while, but after a long time, it will either embark on large-scale aggression and expansion, frenzied plundering resources, or it will be conservative, consider itself a "heavenly kingdom", lose the momentum to move forward, give up its own improvement, and be surpassed by others in the old way.

In the end, like the dinosaur that suddenly disappeared from the planet, it perished in the environmental upheaval.

Are there few such examples in history, such as Zhou Ming's pigtail dynasty in the real world, and the former superpower country M, because of self-consciously invincible, how many small and medium-sized countries have fought?

Even so, after becoming the only superpower, doesn't country M still list country Z as a target for containment, and always try to subvert it?

Because country M knows in its heart: it is impossible to have no opponents, and if there is no one, it will create one!

In short, you must not stop where you are, eat and wait for death!

Similarly.

Wanchengguo also needs a competitor, an opponent who is on equal footing, an opponent who can keep his spirits up.

In this way, the country will always progress, grow, and remain strong.

And the only one who has the qualifications and strength to be the opponent of the Wancheng Kingdom is Dong Yuanzhou, if the Dong Yuan Continent is destroyed, for a long time, the opponent of the Wan Cheng Kingdom is probably only himself.

Is there a problem within the country of Manchuria?

Of course.

There were even many interest groups, as well as giant families plotting to establish a state on the outer continents.

The continuous growth of these interest classes or families will sooner or later become a destabilizing factor for the division of the Wancheng Kingdom.

Without a certain amount of external suppression, it will be very difficult for the Wancheng Kingdom to maintain a unified state with a low degree of cohesion.

Therefore, the decision to pull Dong Yuanzhou was by no means a whim of Zhou Ming.

……

A few months later.

Hyun Qingcheng has poured into a large number of out-of-town people.

Although some of them tried their best to reduce the number of times they spoke, when they opened their mouths, they would still expose their thick Dongyuanzhou accent.

Anyone who has been to Dongyuanzhou can hear this accent after a little listening, which is unique to Dongyuanzhou.

In fact, Zhou Ming, who has been to other continents for 7 years, is most surprised by why human beings everywhere speak the same language and use basically the same language.

Even if there are some continents, separated by millions or tens of millions of miles, the difference between the languages and scripts used by the people is not very large.

Communication is completely barrier-free.

Zhou Ming had to guess: After the creation of this Lingyuan Continent, all the intelligent human beings should have come from the same race, and later scattered in all directions.

Of course, due to the barrier of the miasma forest, the accents of each continent are still quite different, after all, one side of the water and soil supports the other side, and the environment is relatively closed to each other, and the accents formed are also diverse.

No matter how you cover it up, it will still be inadvertently exposed.

His father, Bai Xutang, reported to Zhou Ming: A businessman told him that many people from Dongyuanzhou had recently entered Hyunqing City, and they didn't look like they were doing serious business, so he asked him to be vigilant and send someone to investigate.

He asked Zhou Ming what to do?

"Don't pay too much attention to it, Dongyuan Continent merchants are all over the world, and it's normal for a few to appear here. Zhou Ming said.

"However, recently the country has increased the blockade of Dongyuanzhou, I suspect that there is something wrong with these Dongyuanzhou people......" Bai Xutang said hesitantly, he is not a fool, the characteristics of Hyunqing City's free city have caused a lot of 'idle people' here, and they like to buy things very much, but they don't know where the money comes from.

"Then let's tighten the monitoring a little bit, and if there is any abnormality, we will respond to it. ”

Now the urban population of Hyun Qingcheng has swelled to 5 million, most of which are foreigners, and there are even many cheap laborers and smugglers from Nanyuanzhou, the composition is very complicated, with the Bai family's army of less than 20,000 troops, it is a little difficult to maintain law and order in the whole territory, and it can only be strengthened a little to strengthen monitoring.

"That's all there is to it. ”

Bai Xutang nodded and said, since he succeeded to the position of the city lord of Hyun Qing City, with the increase of all kinds of complex affairs, he has become more and more powerless, and the gray hair on his head has increased a lot in the past few years.

He wanted to pick his son many times and let the young and powerful Zhou Ming be the lord of the city, he retired early, took his wife to travel to various places, and lived a happy and comfortable old age.

But Zhou Ming is not interested in the position of the city lord, he is an immortal, it is impossible to stay in the mortal world all the time, it just so happens that his younger brother Bai Feijian has average qualifications and is handy in handling all kinds of government affairs, Zhou Ming intends to cultivate him, and he has been trained in many positions over the years.

Once he left Hyun Qing City, Bai Xutang passed away again, and this Hyun Qing City was taken care of by him.

Of course, Bai Xutang is only in his early sixties now, and he complains that he can actually work for a few more years.

Many matters that cannot be decided are often discussed with Zhou Ming.

However, a few months later.

Seongbuk Hyuncheong Airport.

Standing in the observation tower of the airport at a high position, watching an ordinary-looking Royal Airliner slowly landing, stopping the runway, and taking the gangway, from the hundreds of passengers who walked down, I saw a young woman wearing a trendy white trench coat, a wide-brimmed hat and large green sunglasses, and light makeup, showing only a round chin, cherry red lips and a delicate nose, followed by an old man, slowly walking down the gangway, looking around from time to time.

Zhou Ming in the tower shook his head again and again.

Smiled helplessly.

He muttered: "Who would have guessed that a supreme palace lord who sits on millions of miles of mountains and rivers, dominates the fate of six billion people, has an incomparably noble status, and is extremely loved by the people, would actually move his body and move his body, and come to a remote and backward place like Hyunqing City in person, what an honor it is for my city?"

"What kind of nonsense is it, and no one succeeds in stopping it?"

This courage is really big to the extent of the sky.

……

The young woman who was stepping off the passenger plane was in a voice with a bit of Dongyuanzhou accent, and she was amazed:

"The city of the country of ten thousand times, this is the city of the country of ten thousand times?"

"Advanced, clean, beautiful, unbeatable. ”

"That building is at least 100 stories high, right? Or three buildings side by side, in my Dongyuan Zhou, the tallest building is only 80 floors, and the number is pitiful. ”

"Psionic cars, the streets are full of psionic cars, and there are some gasoline buses, and there are a lot of railcars...... There are all kinds of cars, which are called congested and busy on urban roads. ”

"In other words, Dongyuanzhou is the most developed city, the number of psionic cars is only a few thousand, there are very few people who can afford it, most of them run on dirt and stone roads, and there are a large number of ox carts and horse-drawn carts, which occupy the lanes and excrete at will, which is not only dusty, but also dirty and smelly. ”

"There are also the clothes worn by the people here, which are fashionable and beautiful, and the people are very educated, most of them are polite and gentle, like a civilized state. ”

"Science and technology are more developed, culture and entertainment, prosperity and development, such a grand scene, 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, caused her a lot of shock and a huge impact.

In the past, she had described the development and prosperity of the country from those merchants or diplomats who had been to the country of Manita, and she had always felt that it was a bit exaggerated and could not be convinced.

But when she saw it with her own eyes, she saw that those people were not lying, without the slightest exaggeration.

It's even more prosperous than they describe.

And it will make her frightened and shocked.

For a few moments, as noble as her, the idea of inferiority complex and insignificance actually arose in her heart.

She thought to herself: "Hyunqing City is just a medium-sized city among the cities of the Ten Thousand Vehicles Kingdom, if it is a more prosperous giant city with a population of tens of millions or tens of millions, if I look at it, how will I feel?"

She began to understand a little why, in Dong Yuan Zhou, when she asked those merchants or officials who had been to the Wancheng Kingdom, their senses of the Wancheng Kingdom, what appeared on their faces was not pride and excitement, but deep inferiority, low words, and "within fifty years, it will be difficult to surpass" and other unambitious words.

Jiang Ruyue was very angry, slapped the table and said: Fifty years, is it so difficult to surpass the Ten Thousand Vehicles Kingdom? It takes so long?

Fifty years is at least, maybe even eighty, a hundred years...... Knowing that she was angry, someone answered her like this.

Fuck your fart!

Do you have hypochondriasis, and do you think that the kingdom of ten thousand vehicles is so powerful?!

Jiang Ruyue's face was pale, and she wanted to burst out and scold, but seeing that they were still so ambitious, she could only hold back her anger.

But extreme disbelief is certain.

And after walking around Hyunqing City today, the unconvincing in Jiang Ruyue's heart has long since dissipated invisibly.

It turned into a slight inferiority, as well as a strong sense of urgency and crisis.

"This remote Hyunqing City looks like it is thirty or fifty years more advanced than Xiaole City (the capital of Dongyuanzhou), and it is the most prosperous capital city in Wancheng Kingdom?"

Fifty years.

Surpassing it in about fifty years has become Jiang Ruyue's most optimistic estimate now.

But fifty years later, does Dongyuan Continent still exist?

Did the Wancheng Congress give Dong Yuan Zhou 50 years to develop?

Shook his head.

Extremely not optimistic.

For a while, Jiang Ruyue had no intention of watching the scenery, and fell into extreme anxiety, and even a short moment of despair. Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
