131 Lazy Van Bingcheng
King Kent invited Emperor Allen and the protector general Moore to sit down, and the ice princess Leng Fei'er poured tea very consciously.
Looking at the purple-blue teapot held up by the Ice Princess, the eyes of the two were full of surprise. Unexpectedly, the water poured out of it turned out to be blue tea, steaming hot, and constantly changing colors.
In a short time, the tea in the glass teacup had transformed into seven colors. Colorful colors, eye-catching.
"It's... How did this happen?" Moore asked in surprise, unable to hold back the curiosity in his heart.
King Kent saw the surprise of the two, and said with a smile: "Hehe... Actually, it's not a big deal. β
"Ordinary people's tea is white, but I just added magical energy to keep it warm all the time. Through the refraction of the water surface, different colors appear. However, it was still white tea. β
"Oh!" Moore nodded as if he didn't understand, and said with instant admiration, "Admire, admire! Your Majesty is really wise!"
It's just that when a person is fine, he likes to study and think. Hearing Moore's praise, King Kent said modestly.
Alan looked at the tea in the cup and carefully picked it up. Smelling the fragrance wafting from the tea, I enjoyed my eyes tightly. Take a sip and feel the taste.
This tea is different from the tea on the mainland, which is bitter and fragrant, and smells a little faint. The tea in front of him feels very delicate and sweet.
"Good tea!" Accustomed to drinking bitter tea in the palace, Alan couldn't help but admire when he suddenly drank such a sweet and delicious tea. He put down the teacup in his palm, opened his eyes and said, "It's really the best in the world!"
Ice Princess Leng Fei'er giggled while pouring tea: "Giggles... His Majesty Emperor Qin can like it, it is really a blessing for the Frozen Empire! In this cold place, he can only provide simple tea for the two of them. β
The ancients said: Send charcoal in the snow. In this part of the Arctic Ice Valley, there is no better place to serve hot tea. You can not only warm up your body, but also enjoy the style of the northern country.
"Haha... The Ice Princess laughed, it was a blessing for the two of us to be able to enjoy such delicious hot tea in the Northland. Qin Emperor Allen said politely.
When the tea was drunk, an embarrassing scene appeared in the hall on the top floor of the Ice Crystal Palace. The whole room was filled with the rich aroma of tea and the full of heat.
"Cough, cough..."King Kent of the Frozen Empire coughed dryly twice, took the lead in breaking the embarrassing atmosphere, and got back to the point: "Your Majesty Emperor Qin, I invite you here this time because I want to ask Your Majesty some questions. β
Speaking of the topic, Qin Emperor Allen put down the glass teacup in his palm. Looking at King Kent solemnly, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty the King is polite, there is nothing to say if you don't ask for advice." We are here this time in the hope that the two countries will be able to exchange views on some matters. β
Upon hearing Emperor Allen say this, King Kent breathed a sigh of relief and said freely: "Originally, His Majesty and the general had a long time traveling today, and he should have let His Majesty and the general rest before speaking. β
"However, there are too many problems within the Frozen Empire. The contemptible people are really powerless, and they have heard about the great achievements of the Aegean Empire. So I invite Your Majesty to come and teach you a little strategy, and I am willing to accept it modestly!"
As soon as King Kent said this, Emperor Allen felt very amused in his heart. From the other party's words, he heard some clues. It turned out that he was invited to come because of the turmoil in the country.
"I'm not afraid of His Majesty's jokes, the Frozen Empire is strong, but there is no real good general. Immediately afterward, King Kent recounted in shame: "Since the Frozen Empire is far away from the human continent, the people who live here have lost the ability to think on their own initiative. β
No wonder!
When Alan and Moore first entered the area, they could see something unusual from the construction of the houses and the reaction of the children.
When I think back to my visit to the Ice Crystal Palace, it's easy to think of the situation here β everything was handled by King Kent alone.
"There's really no way, the two of you saw the layout of the Ice Crystal Palace, all of which were planned by me and Sister Fei'er. King Kent looked down in frustration and said helplessly.
"If it weren't for my brother's insistence, I'm afraid the Frozen Empire would have become obsolete a long time ago. Ice Princess Leng Fei'er stood aside and confided in her heart.
I see!
Alan and Moore looked at each other, as if they understood something.
"We can imagine that the people of Fan Bingcheng can use their wisdom. Unleash the wisdom bestowed upon them by the god of the sea in the ice to help our brother and sister build an empire. Pity... Many attempts have been made, but nothing has worked...", King Kent continued in a low tone, his expression overflowing with weakness.
For a generation of kings, it should be a blessing to meet such a people. However, decades of dependence have left the Kent siblings feeling tired and exhausted.
Seeing the Frozen Empire regressing more and more, the brother and sister remembered the hardships of their ancestors to create the empire, and their hearts ached faintly......
"A while ago, I heard about His Majesty Emperor Qin's policy of governing the country. I really admire Zaixia! So, I want to ask His Majesty Emperor Qin to help me. Eventually, King Kent told the truth and threw the puzzle to Allen.
Hearing this, Alan and Moore knew exactly what was going on. It turned out that the frozen empire was regressing step by step, and the people's ability to think was declining sharply.
Knowing the reason, Emperor Qin Allen fell into deep thought, and said lightly: "A person, if he has been pampered for a long time, will form inertia. Over time, people become lazy. β
"If a country suffers from the disease of laziness, it is easy to slowly fall into ruin. Once you spoil yourself for a long time, you will form princess disease. Of course, it's not like you, Ice Princess!"
Qin Emperor Allen analyzed carefully, said the key point, and deliberately explained. Finding that the Ice Princess didn't mind, she continued to fall into deep thought.
"As soon as I entered Fan Bingcheng, I found that the layout of the houses here was a little strange, and I thought it was their unique style. But listening to the explanation of His Majesty and the princess, I understand that it is their nostalgia. β
"So come to think of it, they are also because they have lived in the past for a long time, and their minds are not willing to move forward. As a result, the phenomenon of laziness is now formed. β
"Yes, I didn't think of that!" King Kent was awakened by Allen's words, and clapped his thigh, "No wonder they have been imitating the old days, it turns out that this is the reason. β
"In addition, they lack the opportunity to practice for a long time and lose the ability to do things independently. Alan continued to analyze and explain why.
"Yes, I didn't think of that!" said King Kent, clapping his thigh again, and said with great movement. The other three looked at him with strange eyes......
Retracting his emotions, Emperor Allen asked King Kent and said, "Your Majesty, there should be an army stationed in Van Bing City, right?"
Suddenly, when Emperor Allen asked him this, King Kent stared at Allen inexplicably, and replied weakly: "Yes, yes, what's wrong?"
"Don't be nervous, King, I'm not in the mood to spy on the military situation of the Frozen Empire. Allen's words dispelled King Kent's worries and continued: "What I want to ask is, are the people in the barracks very smart?"
King Kent thought for a moment and nodded affirmatively, "Yes!"
"So...", confirming his conjecture, Emperor Allen said eloquently: "The soldiers in the barracks exercise all day long and use their brains to defend against foreign enemies, so they are naturally much more diligent than the common people. β
"And ordinary people, they don't have to worry about the comfort of the state, they don't have to care about the rise and fall of the empire, they don't have to worry about the needs of life. Living in such an environment is neither lazy nor lazy. β
This is because when Alan was passing through Van Bingcheng, he didn't see a single vendor setting up a stall on the street. Reminiscent of what the King of Kent said, the conclusions drawn.
As Emperor Allen delved into his analysis, King Kent fell into deep thought......
Yes, I have always been committed to building a happy home for the people, but I have neglected to let the people do their own work.
When the people were cold, the king found a way to make heating......
When the people were hungry, the king found a way to carry the grain......
When the people wept, the king found a way to lighten the burden......
When the people died, the king found a way to place the graves......
The king's way seems to have become the spiritual sustenance of the people......
Over time, the king has taken the place of the god of the sea in the ice region......
Suddenly, King Kent grabbed his head and buried it deep between his knees. He found that what he had done all along had been wrong, not only did not benefit the people, but on the contrary, harmed the people.
"It's all my fault... I'm so stupid... I always feel that I have done the right thing..."King Kent felt deep guilt in his heart, and blamed himself intermittently: "I am the one who hurt everyone..."
"Heyβ" Emperor Allen sighed deeply and said earnestly: "Governing the country is like governing the family. Everyone is a member of the family and has their own responsibilities and obligations. β
"If everybody feels like they're dependent on each other, then no one is going to take the initiative to do things for the family. On the contrary, when we are aware of our importance in the family, we can help each other to make the family prosperous. β
"The same is true of governing the country. Every citizen is a member of the state and has the responsibility and obligation to serve the state. There is the responsibility of paying food, the responsibility of service, the awareness of protection, and the power to win glory for the country. β
"Only by letting the people do it themselves and use their brains can they have enough food and clothing. Eventually, Emperor Allen informed King Kent of some of his experiences in statecraft, hoping to help him.
Leng Fei'er, the ice and snow princess standing on the side, stared at Qin Emperor Allen stupidly, and there was a deep admiration in her heart......
A word to wake up the dreamer!
King Kent raised his head, looked ahead with a very resolute gaze, and said lightly, "I understand. β
Seeing that King Kent understood what he meant, Emperor Allen was very happy, and continued to pick up the teacup on the table and taste the tea.
