In the 110th year of the Holy Gu calendar, the pattern of the world's two great powers, the north and south, was officially formed. After the death of the Golden Beetle II, the princes of all over the country, who had been stumbling for three years, all began to rest.

The electric mosquito of the firefly and the giant cannon of the burning wheel are not something that any other party dares to lick.

In the north, after the Absolute Firefly's corps was forced out of the sphere of influence of the original locust by more and more giant artillery arrays, the two sides tacitly chose a truce.

The Flying Locusts want to continue their attack, but the key is, why should Burning Wheel help the Flying Locusts fight for supremacy?

After the failure of the Eastern Crusade, Jue Ying immediately began to strengthen his rule internally, pressing the regent step by step, and taking all the power into his hands. As for what she is doing in the military system now?

Zhou You speculated: As the mastermind behind the scenes began to lift the ban, Jue Ying should also be holding back Gaoke and starting to farm and accumulate power. After all, in these few battles, she was so crushed that she couldn't turn over. If there were no other black technologies to provide hope, it would have been voted in a long time ago.

During this period of peace.

Ranlun also needs to consolidate the industrial system and social system, of course, Zhouyou feels that it is rare for him to study so efficiently, and he needs to immerse himself in this state.

The two giant beasts maintain balance, and many small forces in the world have room for existence, well, to be precise, it should be a space for death. A future that does not continue to develop and rise, and exists on the basis of the strategic balance of the great powers, what is it that is not waiting for death?

The northern royal court relied on the genetic evolution of Gu worms, while the burning wheel relied on human thinking to accumulate the industrial revolution.

At the moment, the only choice for other forces that have lost the lead is to take sides.

……

In the area east of the Blue Crystal River, the Second Prince of the Empire and the Cultivator River were exhausted from fighting each other. And the population under their command is also ten rooms and nine empty, no, there is no smoke for a hundred miles.

Not to mention the commoners, even the middle and low-level aristocratic groups spontaneously began to converge towards the big cities under the rule of Ranlun.

The frequency of wars between these two forces has begun to decrease, and Xinzhu proposed to the universe whether to continue to do some "work" to stimulate it.

The telegram categorically vetoed it.

The work that Xinzhu wants to do is nothing more than to support another sub-force and let the war continue. However, Zeyuo made a good offices proposal.

Sowing discord is the balance of power policy of the island countries towards the mainland.

This set of political operations is inferior in the eyes of the tour of the universe. They only think of using the old contradictory model to make profits, and when the original contradictory model is gone, then bury mines to create a new contradiction of the old model.

However, a qualified and responsible political operation should be to develop the country, and at the same time guide external forces to resolve the contradictions of the old model. Grasp the dominance of new contradictions in the new development.

The two families of Genghe and the Second Prince don't want to fight anymore, and now they may already be thinking about "What should I do if the people of the Golden Beetle family fight among themselves and let outsiders benefit?" Such thinking. Continuing to instigate is nothing more than making a little profit in the arms trade.

Zeuyou thinks that there is no need to do this black work at all, in the current development, the burning wheel is more capable than them, and they have enough of the ceasefire on the old conflict, so they try their best to mediate their ceasefire, and then bring them to the new model. Zhou You: "I don't believe you, don't make noise in the new model?" ”

For example, the mining in their region needs infrastructure construction, and the current algae field agricultural technology needs to be difused, and all these downstream raw material mining technologies and industries can be transferred to them.

It is far more valuable for a country to make a region less civilized than to instigate war and then suck it into abject poverty through the arms deal.

……

In the 21st century, colonialism has been defeated on a global scale, except for the bloody revolution in East Asia, and then a fight on the peninsula, with a ticket to enter the industrial country. Other regions simply did not have the strength to resist the colonists, but why did the colonies disappear?

Because a new model has emerged in the capitalist world, replacing the colonial model of Britain and France.

Relying on the core of the industrial chain and the world's currency, Global Eagle has made Japan and South Korea an industrial pendant that cannot be turned over for thousands of years. The large number of highly educated laborers in the new colonies of Japan and South Korea created much more value than the traditional colonies of Britain and France (India).

Of course, if there is a guy in the economic pendant who has monetary sovereignty, has a strong ability to allocate industries, and can arrange the development of high-tech industries on his own, it is another story. However, if you want to make others become economic pendants, the premise is that you are hard enough in your core competitiveness.

If it is not possible to maintain its advanced power on the basis of economic mobilization and national innovation, and only rely on temporary military strength to maintain satellite power, even if it is a high-rise building, it will eventually disintegrate.

……

At this time, as far as the eye can see, the entire 'Qiang' sea area, except for the burning wheel, is a very feudal country. The Burning Wheel is completely lighthouse-oriented to illuminate the entire coastline.

There are problems with the internal system of Genghe and the second prince, and the future can only be in the low-end industrial chain.

What if they could raise their arms as a supreme lord, and make their servants wiser than the free men stimulated by the money? I'm afraid that the burning wheel will be able to use good fortune to stimulate the workers to take the initiative to work overtime.

With the confidence to control these backward forces in the future economy, Zhouyou will not hesitate to broker peace in the land bridge area. He even generously expressed his willingness to share advanced military technology.

The abacus in Zhou You's heart: "How many accounts do you still have?" Oh, and a few thousand craftsmen who were able to sustain wartime imitations, eh. With your feudal management level, can you maintain a stable quality on the production line after the war? Can't do it? It's okay, the Burning Wheel will sell you everything, we're allies. ”

January 4th.

The heads of the two families, one at a forward military base and the other in a fortified urban agglomeration, hesitated after receiving the proposal of the tour of the universe, and finally were willing to respond to the mediation of the tour of the universe.

The place of mediation was in the Purple Heart River, that is, between their two territories.

January 11th.

After circling twice in the sky, the propeller plane landed on the temporary runway of the Purple Heart River, and the Zeusyou did not bring many troops, that is, the troops of the four-wheel drive all-terrain vehicles, and there were no Armored Dragon tanks and no Tianqi Heavy Tan.

In fact, it is the current army, and it is also the first session of the burning wheel. According to the meaning of the sea tour, simply be generous and bring nothing at all. Zhou You: "As long as there are a few motorcycles and the field is matched, I have the confidence to run out." ”

After getting off the plane, he looked at his surroundings, where two large war bases were facing each other across the river.

Although the artillery positions of both sides were withdrawn, the assault forces of both sides were deployed nearby. In the event of an unforeseen outcome in the negotiations, both sides will use assault forces. - Ironically, the two have begun to move closer together, ready to maintain a union to prevent outsiders! But Zhou You was so generous to them, but they separated again, for fear that the other family would have a closer relationship with Zhou You and secretly shadow themselves.

On the east side of the Purple Heart River.

On the more than two hundred tons of war Gu worms, Genghe put down the binoculars and said in a deep voice: "It's him, he's really here." ”

The tone of the ploughing river revealed an appreciation for the spirit of the universe.

The general on the side said, "My lord, so are we—" He made a grabbing gesture.

Genghe hesitated, it was obvious that controlling the Celestial Tour was a matter of considerable interest.

Ploughing River eventually resisted this temptation. It seems that after failure, the terrible risk consequences, or the self-confidence of Zhou You, make Genghe dare not dare.

As wavering and hesitant as Genghe, and finally did not dare to make a decision, there was also the second prince on the north bank.

After successive setbacks in the past few years, the second prince's personality has been extremely cautious. Now, he has deployed a dark line around Zhouyou to ensure that he can make a profit from the burning wheel, so he doesn't dare to gamble.

……

The Celestial Tour is the core of the entire Burning Wheel. All sides are coveting the power of the Burning Wheel and looking forward to mastering it.

In the latest wave of recruiting disciples in the Celestial Tour, almost all the princes sent people they trusted to pass the examination to a greater or lesser extent.

People in this world are not stupid. The people who are now in the upper echelons of the various princes already know that the power of the Celestial Tour cannot be stolen by grabbing a dragon nest. The Lin Dragon Gu Nest needed the corresponding means of industrial allocation, so they sent disciples. Yet they still lagged behind.

None of the disciples they sent were willing to defect from the Burning Wheel after entering the core promotion channel of the Burning Wheel. Because it is useless to betray the Burning Wheel with the Gu Nest System, the industrial deployment of the Burning Wheel's Linlong Gu Nest is now being upgraded, which is based on the huge industrial group of the Burning Wheel. Whoever jumps out automatically gives up the competition.

……

At the riverside, the meeting began as the ships of the two sides crossed the river closer. The two golden beetle-like figures walked to the conference table with their heads tilted.

And the expressions of the two people who hesitated and wanted to gamble when they came before, Zhou You actually saw it very clearly, and he was constantly making up his mind: if one of them really wanted to take risks, how should he (exciting, thrilling) escape from the road.

Of course, the result is that I always like to make up useless things when I have nothing to do, just like when I was in school on the Wind Star, my brain was fried. The same at school.

Zeyou took the initiative to greet these two golden beetle bigwigs, and wished them a long-term consensus. Eh, this is actually nonsense, these two people really want to be able to completely solve the contradiction, and they still need to be a peacemaker in it?

After the crap is over.

The tour opened the rhythm of economic negotiations.

Zeo You expressed this meaning in the relevant words: "I am quite interested in the minerals of the two of you, but not in your territory, if I can trade for your minerals, I will be very satisfied." ”

The two were obviously a little hesitant and seemed to be a little wary.

This is the carrot thrown out by the Celestial Tour,—— of course, some railways will be sponsored. Of course, the loan is limited, and whoever comes first will have a little more.

The second prince changed the topic and talked about the legitimacy of the Golden Beetle throne.

After thinking for a while, Zhou You asked rhetorically, "What do you think of the legal system of the Hong Long Empire?" The atmosphere of the meeting was solemn, and both Genghe and the second prince couldn't help but look at the universe. There is a bit of this sentence in the voyage, and the meaning of the dynasty rotation is my own ambition.

However, in this solemn atmosphere, Zhou You patted his arms and shoulders casually, and said slowly: "What does your family matter have to do with me? Nor did the official affairs of the Burning Wheel depend on the royal power. I recently recruited disciples and said that the Dharma system of the burning wheel is not hereditary. Integrity can hold the public weapon, not inherit the throne with blood! ”

These two big men couldn't help but 'hammer' their eyes on the universe. And Zeuyou was also fearless, and even looked at these two with a hint of sarcasm, as if telling them not to carry illusions! Lao Tzu came one by one.

In the end, these two were defeated in front of the sudden Gang'a of Zhou You, and Genghe haha played a round, and the second prince twitched his face and stopped talking about this topic.

Zeuyou is now very single, waving the flag and tilting the country, but he has no heirs.

Canonized? Hereditary? This is based on the premise that the bloodline will be passed on. It is now said that the Celestial Tours rejected the proposal related to the Northern Firefly, and then forcibly attacked it with cannons. And now these two broken families here, what capital do they have to threaten the imperial power they represent?

……

The talks were successful, and cooperation on the land bridge set the tone, which provided an example for other powers. If nothing else, it won't take a few months, and other forces will also use this cooperation model to reduce the unknown risks of cooperating with Ranlun.

Fourteen hours later, under the escort of the Golden Gu Insect Corps of the Cultivating River, Zhou You stepped on the returning passenger plane.

On the way back.

Zhou You stared at the ground under his feet for five minutes, and then turned his head to Bai Yue, the student who accompanied him, and said, "What we (the Burning Wheel Alliance) uphold is the justice that pioneered people's livelihood in the Fenglong era. Under this just legal system, we form a government, create laws, and finally gather the people; And the people, under the ruling structure we have created, give back to labor and creation. We have the power to form a closed and growing cycle. Ah Bai, if one day, someone wants to break out of the legal system, what should I do? ”

Bai Yue couldn't help but shake when he met the gaze of the judgment of the Heavenly Tour, and then replied with a slight stutter: "Then, then, it should be destroyed!" Then he added, "Teacher, perfide, you deserve God's damnation." ”

Zhou You slowly shook his head, looked at the starry sky outside the window and said: "There is no sky, only people, and human punishment is divided into, heart punishment, mouth punishment, and action punishment...... Hold the law and punish perverse actions. The husband is responsible, and the superior is even more responsible. ”

In Bai Yue's daze, Zhou You stretched out his hand and knocked on the table and said, "Write it down." ”

Bai Yue came back to his senses from his suddenness, nodded, and then honestly took the pen to record everything that Zhou lobbied. However, the palms of the hands holding the barrel were sweaty, and after two minutes, they finally stabilized and wrote powerful handwriting.

Bai Yue's identity is the illegitimate son of the second prince who favored a certain maid and sent him to Zhou You as a shadow. However, after five months by Zeuyou's side, he had no thoughts of his biological father. In the final analysis, Bai Yue has never even met the second prince a few times, and the success of the undercover agent has only changed from the identity of an illegitimate child to the identity of the family record.

When I go back to be a concubine who is not valued and despised by my son-in-law, I really don't want to be a student of the universe. Zeuyou can not only give Linlong, but also give the right to advance to the core.

He, like Xinzhu in his early years, used to worry that his identity would be revealed. And at that moment just now, when facing Zhou You, he almost thought that Zhou You was going to have a showdown with him in person, and he was extremely flustered and at a loss for the future.

However, he savored what he said just now, and suddenly realized that his identity did not exist at all, and it was very likely that Zeyou knew it from the beginning and didn't care.

As for what the hell does the universe care about-

Bai Yue wrote down the five words "legal system, justice, people, wisdom, and dominance" in his notebook, and marked arrows on the five words at the same time, forming a cycle.
