"Grand Duke, what do you think of the current situation?" Ye Guyun asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The current situation?" the Grand Duke was a little confused, not understanding why he was bothered with this.

"Yes, the times. It is your judgment of a series of important elements of the international situation, regional situation, economic trend, political situation, etc. Only with the clearest understanding of the current situation can those in power, whether they are in charge of a country, a region, or a city, find the most appropriate development strategy. Ye Guyun replied.

"That makes sense!" Roche yelled, "Hey, Ye! you have to slow down, I can't keep up!"

This guy didn't know when he took out the parchment and quill pen, and took notes while listening, humble and diligent. However, the request he put forward was not reliable at all, everyone here communicated through the translation of gems, and the efficiency was constant, and it basically didn't matter if Ye Guyun said it faster and slower.

So, Ye Guyun ignored it, and he continued: "To put it simply, you only need to discern two questions," he stretched out two fingers, "They represent your general view of the future." ”

"Speak. The Grand Duke said in a deep voice.

"Multiple choice. In the next period of time -- can it be short-term, medium-term, long-term, about the direction of the region, whether it is war or peace, about the political situation, whether it is stability or ****?"

"That's too obvious! There is no need to think about it at all!" said the Grand Duke, "after the end of the civil war, the country has been peaceful for decades, and it will continue, and I don't see any possibility of breaking this situation at all! Even if a crazy warmonger now occupies the position of ruler, he will not find a target to crusade! Grest has no enemies! To the east is the roof of the world, north and south have reached its geographical limit, and even the former feud Toguo in the west has turned into a desert! The front has nowhere to be pointed. As for the Raiden Peninsula, heh, it's not that I'm talking about it, and the confrontation with that group of people is not a word for war. As for the possibility of an internal war, that brings us to the second question...."

The Grand Duke paused, and Roach, who was immersed in the record, couldn't help but continue.

"But that's still impossible! There is no sign of turmoil in the domestic political situation! There is absolutely no chance of a new civil war!"

Roach raised his head and gushed out.

"Although the republic has gone through several decades, as far as a country and a regime are concerned, this time can only be regarded as a new birth, and it is still on its path of rapid ascent, which is its most vigorous, most vigorous, and most creative stage! As far as politics is concerned, it can be enlightened, efficient, incorruptible, and goal-oriented, or even blind, mediocre, and wrong-oriented, but only the smallest can be turbulent! Innumerable examples in history can prove it. Moreover, we must not forget the important point that the political system designed by His Excellency East can prevent political turmoil very well!"

At the end, Lotchi concluded.

"The current stable situation in the country will only continue to be maintained for a long time, and when will it end? Oh, please forgive me for being shallow, I can't estimate. But in my opinion, at the very least, even after the next few decades, this stability will not change at all!"

"Beautiful!"

"Thank you. ”

"So, this is the consensus?" Ye Guyun asked.

Everyone nodded.

"Good, I'm glad we were able to share the same opinion. Ye Guyun smiled, very lightly, but somehow this smile was particularly vivid, "Then, we can be sure that the mainstream of today's era is peace and development." ”

What a familiar phrase! Ye Guyun felt that he had tears in his eyes. Of course, this is just a thought...

The mainstream of the times, "peace and development," is a term that everyone finds fresh.

"As we have unanimously agreed, the possibility of a large-scale war breaking out again is very small, and the biggest challenge we face is no longer the threat of war, but the inability of backward social productive forces to meet the growing strength of the people..." Ye Guyun suddenly stopped, his face was embarrassed, and he waved his hand again and again, "Slip of the tongue, forget it! It's not this!"

"Khan! I still remember what I recited when I was a child......

"I mean, even if Calf were to do so resolutely to get us in, it would do so only by all sorts of non-war means, overtly and covertly, and not by a blatant assault -- before that happens, Congress and the government would first clean it up for us. ”

"Absolutely. The Grand Duke nodded.

There was no feather fan in his hand and no scarf on his head, which made Ye Guyun, who had entered the god stick mode, feel awkward, so he had to rub his chin from time to time, and let his face always have a meaningful smile.

He looked at the crowd.

In this case, we should let go of some inappropriate emotions in our hearts, do not need to be anxious, do not need to be depressed, do not need to be anxious, there is no need to be annihilated, we need to face all kinds of targeted means, but even if the targeted means come like a rainstorm, we have enough time and space to deal with it. So, everyone, please relax, and please integrate into the mainstream of this era with a positive, peaceful and confident attitude, and focus on peace and development. It's not just two simple words, they can have a lot of connotations. When you feel a little bit of experience, and then look back at the current set of policies, I believe that you can distinguish what is appropriate and what is not, so that the correct direction of correction will naturally be displayed. ”

"Dear sir!" called Turanson anxiously, "I admit that these things you have said are incomparably profound and direct to the heart of the world, but...... After listening to this, I want to know how to do it! I know you must have a specific strategy! Just tell me! Okay?"

Clearly, Turanson has been teased to the extreme.

"I don't want to repeat," Ye Guyun didn't answer directly, but looked at the two brothers, "I've talked about it before, and some people have heard it." ”

"Definitely. Roche sat up straight, meeting the inquiring gaze (not including his father and brother, of course), but said, "So, now is my (speaking) round?"

"No! it's Frank's!" a voice rang out from Frank, but it wasn't him, but Archmage Osma, "I hate it when people are playing around in front of me! Whenever I encounter it, it's usually a slap in the face! Frank, I know you've heard of it, well, you wonder if you want to taste my slap." ”

"Understood. Frank smiled bitterly at Rocchi, and then began to speak, "It's a great plan, but it's not new at its core, and it's still a phrase we're used to, growing and growing. Sephius wanted to develop Crescent City into an amazing and great city, making it accessible in every way—economic, artistic, cultural, intellectual...... All have a significant influence and influence on all walks of life - politicians, bureaucrats, businessmen, civilians, the military, domestic and foreign...... All have deep interests involved. If this is done, the Crescent City will become a true city that will not fall, and everyone will aspire to it, and everyone will wish it long and long, and will not allow the conspirators to plunge it into turmoil! for no one can afford to bring it to ......

"Can it be done?!"

"It can't be!"

"It's just a fantasy!"

......

The reaction of the crowd was exactly the same as that of the two brothers when they first heard the same vision.

"Hey, Saphius, is that true?" Master Osma's voice rang out again.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then looked at Ye Guyun, who was still looking at Frank.

Frank had no choice but to continue: "He said that he could not build a perfect great city that could only exist in our minds......"

Frank deliberately paused slightly, but did not see the picture he imagined (disappointed, discouraged), it seems that all the uncles here are smart people, at least enough to calm down.

"But I'm 80% sure that Crescent City will become a city of sufficient weight. ”

For the wise, even appropriate hints can be omitted, and they can understand the deep meaning of the words.

He didn't say how, and he didn't explain how he got it. ”

Ye Guyun once again underwent a baptism of gaze.

"That's what I've always wanted to know!" Roche's eyes burned, literally melting.

The Grand Duke also made a statement, but with only one word, "please", it really is... Well, to the point. However, from the slightly trembling lips and arms, it can be seen that the Grand Duke's mood at this time is also not calm.

Ye Guyun didn't keep it as secret as last time, nor did he deliberately sell it, but first made a request: "I need a map, the map of the Lordship of Crescent City, or the map of the Northland, not the map of Crescent City." ”

The map was quickly laid out on the round table.

"Heh, it's much more detailed than the map I've seen from the merchant. ”

"That's nature. ”

"So, have you ever studied it carefully?" Ye Guyun glanced at Frank, who was talking.

"What to study?"

smiled, don't overdo it, Ye Guyun ignored it. He reached out and pointed to the map, his finger circled the perimeter of Crescent City, then looked at the Grand Duke and asked, "Is this the legal scope of the Dominion of Crescent City?"

The Grand Duke was stunned and replied, "We don't have that concept. ”

He further explained: "In spite of the vastness of the empires of the past and the present republics, effective rule has always been confined to the cities and the surrounding countryside within their sphere of influence. The rest of the area is almost all primitive and wild uninhabited land, full of monsters, aliens, and all kinds of dangers. Of course, each region has different degrees of development due to its own history and geography and other factors, and the situation is different. For example, the vast area south of the capital and along the coast of the Gold Coast, the traditional core of the old empire, after thousands of years of vigorous development, the civilized zone in it has long been connected, where the boundaries between territories are clear - and must be clear. And the closer you get to the roof of the world, the more sparsely distributed the civilization zone becomes, and the wider the wilderness becomes. Sometimes, there may be a primeval forest or a swamp between the two territories, in which case it is difficult to clearly define the boundaries between the two. ”

"So Crescent City belongs to this situation?" Ye Guyun asked.

The Grand Duke nodded and said, "Yes." In this case, the boundaries are generally based on the actual control of each other, after all, the uncontrollable and unproductive wilderness is of little value to the lord and is not worth arguing about. However, this does not mean that boundaries are static. An important principle is still at play, 'he who develops, who occupies', who first frees a piece of land from the wilderness, has the sovereignty of that land, and of course, there will certainly be different ways of interpreting it..."

The Grand Duke showed a "you know" smile, Ye Guyun knew at the moment, isn't it a shameless classic game!

I don't understand, teach you. There are many ways to get a piece of land out of the wilderness!

You can honestly open up the land, destroy monsters, drive out aliens, and then reclaim farmland, set up market towns, build castles, and work until you are old;

You can also stick a wooden plank or erect a stone monument to prove that the land has been civilized by you.

If you're good enough, you can walk straight to it, point to the ground, and say, "This is mine," and in a blink of an eye, the land will go from wilderness to civilization, and will now be under your name as the Great Pioneer......

There is nothing new in this kind of game, and the whole world, no, all planes are playing it!

The Grand Duke continued: "This principle, which was originally established by the old empire to encourage the lords to actively explore the surrounding wilderness, was not abolished after the establishment of the republic, so it is tacitly acknowledged that it will continue to be used. Based on this principle, the current border of the Dominion of Crescent City is here. ”

The Grand Duke pointed to the west bank of a river 80 kilometers east of Crescent City, where there were a few small towns scattered around. The Horner River is a rare north-south river that originates in a high mountain in the south, meanders northward, traverses the Northlands, makes a great bend a little northeast of Crescent City, and finally flows into the ocean at the foot of the North Peak. Its downstream almost encircled Crescent City, and the direction of the Grand Duke's finger was clearly following the direction of the river.

"The scope of the Crescent City Dominion is this. ”
