Chapter 2920 Potential Crisis
Let Azula feel the feeling of being deceived by the storyteller. When she tries to believe a story, she is ruthlessly deceived by reality. Then she will understand how precious it is to be a storyteller who tells stories seriously and does not violate the stories.
Of course, as a storyteller, Azula also knows the difficulty of storytelling. If a story promises too much, she cannot pay. If it promises too little, people will follow another story king who promises more. So it is difficult to grasp a degree, and people's hearts can only be seen over time.
If you really dedicate everything to your story, you will get nothing. Is it really just to exchange for respect? And it has nothing to do with the throne? In fact, respect is also an invaluable gain, and respect from the heart is not so easy to obtain. Besides, if everyone respects the princess, then she is the uncrowned king.
In short, let her experience the feeling of following the story and being deceived by the storyteller on the wandering earth.
Before everyone makes a choice, they have not gained any actual benefits from the story, but are attracted by the story itself. So society is full of various stories, but unfortunately these stories are most likely survivor bias. It can be done, but it requires the right time, place and people, and it is difficult to be copied.
When everyone is attracted by the story, funds will also flow into the story, bringing about ten years of development to this industry, and then the development will enter a bottleneck. This industry needs new stories. If there are no new stories, it will only decline from prosperity. From ancient times to the present, the basis of social operation is storytelling, which allows everyone to accept and reach a consensus through stories.
Ancient sages told stories, dukes and princes told stories, emperors and generals told stories, and rebels told stories. When there are not so many benefits to share with everyone, you can only keep people through stories first, and the rest will be dealt with later. Some people will implement their own stories and realize their original boasts, while some people will deviate from their own stories and forget their original intentions.
The princess is the kind of person who forgets her original intention. She always thinks that it is natural for others to follow her, and she never thought that others follow stories, not her. Now she is also confused by various stories in the Wandering Earth. She is very angry. Why are there so many people telling fake stories in the society of heaven and man? Is there any justice, and is there anyone who cares? She completely forgot that she used to be a guy who didn't take stories seriously.
The princess needs to grow up well, and on the Shentong planet, everyone is developing with heart.
The art of controlling electricity has been developed, and this planet has entered the electrical age from the steam age. A large number of firebenders can release lightning after understanding that there are two forces in the human body, and that collision can produce stronger lightning. With lightning, there will be a power plant and a transmission line to transmit electricity to various places.
At the same time, electrical appliances have also developed, and the emergence of these technologies has brought new growth points. However, it is definitely not enough to rely on electricians to generate electricity. More technology about electricity must be studied and generators that can be promoted must be invented.
It seems that everything is getting better, but there is still discrimination in the art of controlling. For example, blood control is discriminated against because this technology is too dangerous for humans. No one wants to be controlled by blood control, so it is stipulated that blood control cannot be used.
In addition to the development and problems of artbenders, there are also conflicts between regions. For example, the Arctic Water Good Clan wants to annex the Antarctic Water Good Clan.
In fact, annexation is fine. If the Arctic can benefit the Antarctic, then the integration of the Water Good Clan is not impossible. But the Arctic wants to pay the least price to obtain all the manpower and financial resources of the Antarctic and obtain the Antarctic as a trading point.
The North Pole is developing at full speed and has slowly caught up with the Fire Nation to become the backbone of trade and transportation. The Water-Shan Tribe is good at fishing and transportation. They can speed up ships of the same model, which is something the Fire Nation cannot do. So gradually the Water-Shan Tribe became the first choice for transportation.
But Antarctica and the North Pole are in a competitive relationship, so the North Pole wants to annex the weaker South Pole. If they can give various benefits and unify the cultures of the north and south, it is not impossible. But the North Pole only wants to annex the South Pole by force, so that the South Pole will be obedient. Instead of giving money for construction, it wants to absorb talents and funds from the South Pole, which is not very reasonable.
Defeat the South Pole through war, and then absorb all the talents and funds of the South Pole to the North Pole. The South Pole only retains the basic function of trade transportation, and the North Pole is responsible for a series of work such as transportation, coordination, pricing, training, etc., then the South Pole will not be able to develop.
For the North Pole, it is better not to develop the South Pole, because the market is so big. If the South Pole develops, it will have to compete with the North Pole, which is not friendly to the North Pole. The Arctic believes that competition is not good for the entire Shuishan tribe, so the plan to annex Antarctica will definitely be proposed in the future.
"People on this planet really like to use force. There has been no progress in 10,000 years. The Arctic has money, so it can cultivate Antarctic compradors and make Antarctica dependent on the Arctic, and then promote that the North and the South are one family. In the end, it will not be annexation, but unification. Isn't it much smoother? But thinking of giving priority to the Arctic and draining the Antarctic, there is no win-win idea at all, which is really stupid." Duran said that these strategies of the Arctic people are all conspiracies, and there is no overt conspiracy at all.
Jie has been following Duran for a while, and he has been learning all the time. He said: "Because the Arctic is not unified, there are different interest groups within the Arctic, so we can only use conspiracies. If we use overt conspiracies, we will be dragged down by various things, and the Arctic will not be able to fully support them."
"So it's still a question of talent selection. The current talent selection is mainly based on the wealthy. Even if the children of poor families and civilians have mastered the art of controlling, they can only go to work or become athletes, and they can't shake the status of the wealthy. Without talents, there is no way to do unified work. Of course, there is also a lack of culture to integrate talents, and it is impossible for poor families and civilians to trust each other. Shentong's work is still unsatisfactory and still a little short of the mark."
As for Duran's words, Jie just listened to them. Duran boasted louder than anyone else, but he just didn't do it. He was also a giant in theory and a dwarf in action. Jie has also grown a lot and knows the gap between theory and practice. It is really difficult to combine ideas and practice. It is estimated that only great people can do it, and Shentong is obviously not one of them.
There is no upward channel for talents. Shentong City is full of hometown associations. It was only during the development period that various problems were ignored. If this development momentum is exceeded, Shentong will suffer a lot.
Of course, the Avatar will not betray his story. He wants to build a republic city where everyone is equal. He has indeed been working hard to hope that the artificers and ordinary people can live in peace and contribute their lives to maintain the stability and prosperity of the city.
However, the Avatar alone is definitely not enough, and Toph established a police station to assist. What happened next was the same as what Huiyuan Ai said. The director's children will become directors, and the councilor's children will become councilors.
The Avatar cannot stop the wealthy model, and his children will also form a monopoly. Ordinary people seem to be able to only look forward to the reincarnation of the Avatar to their own family, and rely on the reincarnation of the Avatar to break the monopoly. Unable to rely on learning to complete the transition, even if you learn the art of artifice, you can only become a worker, or a sports star, and you can't enter the house and become a decision maker.
Want to get ahead? Then pray that the Avatar dies early, and then look forward to the reincarnation of the Avatar to your own family, so that you can rise with the tide.
