Chapter 2922 Information Gap
Shentong thought that Guan Shanhai was competing with the people for profit, which was not acceptable. Besides, the construction of the city could not be built without the help of the powerful at the beginning. Shentong himself had no money, only strength. The powerful who really maintained the operation of the city, transported goods, opened trade, and promoted development were the powerful who brought money to Shentong.
If Guan Shanhai was used, it would be against the powerful. Shentong thought that they supported him and he could not repay kindness with hatred.
But Soka knew that Shentong's idea was too naive, and there were no eternal friends. The powerful did provide the original funds to enable the city to enter rapid development, but if there was no Guan Shanhai, the powerful would control all kinds of resources in the city, and it would be difficult to allocate resources at that time.
If they did not intervene, the gap between the rich and the poor would soon appear in the city, education and medical care would be privatized, and knowledge monopoly would be formed. Once this happened, it would be difficult to reverse it.
It is better to take advantage of the development now and carry out Guan Shanhai. Soka said that they were not Guan Shanhai of King Zhou Li, but Guan Shanhai of Guan Zhong.
An is not so easy to convince. His character is that he always wants to have the best of both worlds. Now the powerful people have done nothing wrong. How can he compete with them for profit? Why should he take over the mountains and seas for no reason? He thinks it is good now. Aren’t people working hard?
Sokka is helpless. An has such a character. He can’t do anything about it. Sokka has experienced the tragedy of having no money in Antarctica. In order to rebuild Antarctica, he really wants to borrow money, but those powerful people are unwilling to lend money because there is no profit. So the powerful people are two-faced. They are submissive and very cooperative in front of the magic power, but they are another face to others.
Sokka knows that relying on such powerful people is not a long-term plan. They don’t lend money to the magic power for free, but for profit. So you can’t rely too much on them. The city itself must also master the industry and have money. "The combination of public ownership and private ownership is the way out." Sokka sighed, as if he saw the bleak future of the city. The city will eventually become a hated existence like the Fire Nation.
Without money, all ideals are empty in the end, and you can't fight against the powerful. Sokka has deeply experienced this in the reconstruction of Antarctica, but An has not experienced it. Because he is a supernatural power, he thinks that his ideals can be accepted by others for free, which is too idealistic.
In the end, Sokka failed to convince An to establish his own industry, to purchase and sell the city's resources, and to build a system to control salt, iron, alcohol, and tobacco. When An dies, the city will enter a state of no leader, and the situation will definitely get worse.
Sokka couldn't help but find Duran. Although he didn't like this guy who jumped left and right, as he got older, he suddenly found that jumping left and right was a kind of wisdom, and Duran single-handedly provoked the internal fighting of the three members of the Fire Nation. It is obvious to all. With the end of the war, many internal information was also made public. Duran first assisted the princess, then educated Toph in the north, and then spent a long time teaching the prince, and later went to the Fire King.
There are different rhetoric for different people, and finally let everyone go their own way, so that they collided with each other. If it was Duran, Sokka thought he could convince Shentong.
"I hope you can convince Shentong." Sokka explained the cause and effect, and finally said the purpose.
"You haven't learned to consider Shentong, and you haven't persuaded him from Shentong's perspective, so he naturally won't accept it." Duran said that Sokka's skills have not been learned.
"I care about the future of the city as much as An, and it's not wrong to stand from the perspective of the city's future." Sokka didn't think he was wrong, nor did he think he didn't stand from Shentong's perspective, after all, Shentong also wanted to build a good city.
"Shentong's perspective is not the perspective of the future. An, the Shentong, is too gentle and will not fight back unless he is forced into a dead end. Now the powerful people are respectful to him, how can he compete with the powerful people for interests?" Duran said: "So he thinks that as long as the situation continues to be maintained, the future of the city will be beautiful, but you are worried about the future of the city. Isn't this a contradiction? One thinks that the city is beautiful, and the other thinks that there are problems in the city, which is completely different." Duran said that the main contradiction between Sokka and An is the different perceptions of the future.
Sokka admitted this, and he was indeed not qualified. "You agree with me, right?" After all, it was Duran who proposed Guan Shanhai.
"Indeed, it's not enough to rely on An alone. I'll go talk to Shentong."
Duran was brought to An by Soka. An didn't like Duran either. After all, this guy Duran was a eloquent speaker, and there was also the shadow of a celestial being behind him, so he had to be on guard.
"I heard that Shentong can see past lives through spirits. I wonder if you have seen past lives?" Duran asked.
Soka saw that Duran didn't get straight to the point, but asked about Shentong's abilities. Although it was strange, he could only continue to listen.
"Yes, I have seen them."
"So did they give you any advice? Did you listen?" Duran continued to ask.
Shentong didn't hide it either. As an honest Shentong, he talked about his experience of his past life, past past life, and past past past life, etc.: "When I was most confused, I asked them how to end the war. They all advised me to make a decisive decision, not to look back, and to kill when I should. But I didn't listen, but found the lion turtle and learned the 'recycling technique'."
"That is to say, you did not listen to their words. If your magical power is like this, then your reincarnation and powerful descendants will still adhere to the current concept of peace? When you people grow old, future generations will still think that Is peace hard-won? Will they work hard for peace?”
The magical power was silent, he couldn't guarantee it. After all, as a magical power, he didn't obey, and his reincarnation and powerful descendants probably wouldn't obey either. If they change their minds, the city is doomed.
Awesome, Sokka secretly shouted, "Awesome", he hit the weak point of Shen Tong in just a few words, and from the opponent's point of view, let Shen Tong think on his own, is this Duran? No wonder he could control all three members of the Fire Lord's family in the palm of his hand. This guy was really terrifying.
In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, but there is a lack of information. Du Lan has all the information first-hand and knows the supernatural powers well, so he is well-targeted and hits the target with perfect accuracy.
As a person with great eyes and hands, Du Lan can see through people's hearts, see into the past and the future, and has countless information at his fingertips.
Soka doesn't have so much information, so it's difficult for them to break away from their own position when considering issues, and it's difficult to completely start from other people's perspectives, because he doesn't fully understand An, and Soka doesn't know what An is thinking. But Dulan knows that, that's why he can become an omnipotent life mentor. When he raises his hand, people are always speechless.
An Zai was thinking about the changes. If he didn't have the same magical powers as before, then his magical powers in the future would not be the same as him. How could he maintain peace if he died? How can future generations continue to uphold peace? He was at a loss. He thought peace was good and everyone should accept it. So the magical power in the previous life thought that decisive killing was good. Every magical power should be like this, but what was the result? Hasn't An decided to kill decisively?
"People think differently, and the desire for peace cannot be inherited." An said in despair. He felt that peace could not exist forever.
"Peace can last forever. The key point is that peace must be profitable and must allow everyone to develop in peace. Then we must govern the mountains and seas. We must control the regulation of bulk commodities, reduce the ups and downs of prices, and maintain social stability. At the same time, it must also We must break the monopoly of the powerful and put forward the slogan of a public world. When everyone in the world accepts the culture of a public world, no one will dare to propose it in a private world. There must be an economic foundation and a cultural foundation. The economic foundation determines it. Superstructure." Duran said that supernatural power can be done in this direction.
