Chapter 778: Discussion
"Reading is not a profession but a means of understanding knowledge. Only with knowledge can we create a prosperous era. The knowledge I'm talking about is not poetry but the understanding and innovation of various things. May I ask what was the purpose of creating characters in the first place? To become an official and make money? To create various unbreakable cages? Wrong, characters were created to facilitate recording events and information transmission. Now look at what characters are used for now? How many people can recognize characters? What's the difference between this and wasting characters?" The magic cube said disdainfully. A good information exchange tool has become a tool for making money and gaining power. No wonder it is so backward.
"…………" Princess Junru was silent.
"Maybe you are a wise ruler who can create a prosperous world. This is also what most people with ambitions and ideals want to do. It seems great to let people have clothes to wear, houses to live in, and food to eat. In my opinion, it is indeed short-sighted and a person who seeks fame and reputation."
"Don't say that about the sages!"
"Tsk~ sages, it sounds good, but have you ever thought about it, when the wise ruler dies, uh... the sages are dead, and the one who takes the throne is a waste, how many years can the prosperous world last, twenty years? Fifty years? Then the dynasty collapses, someone rebels and claims to be the emperor to establish a new dynasty to continue the prosperity, continue to ruin the family, continue to collapse, and continue to have new emperors appear, will it ever end?"
"Isn't this the law of nature? The rise will decline, the long separation will reunite, and the long reunion will separate. This is how the world is." Princess Junru said.
"Well, long separations will inevitably lead to reunions, and long reunions will inevitably lead to separations. Since it is impossible to achieve eternal prosperity, why not try every means to prolong the prosperity so that those who want to change it cannot change it? When science and technology are backward, your saying that prosperity will inevitably decline, long separations will inevitably lead to reunions, and long reunions will inevitably lead to separation is in line with the current situation. However, when civilization rises and science and technology develop, it will only become more prosperous instead of declining. Even if it is divided, it doesn't matter. The key is that you have to let ordinary people live well. Look at the seven countries now. Apart from the powerful, can those ordinary people be called people? It is better to be a dog in peace than a man in troubled times. Do you think they should be exploited?"
"…………"
"I told you so much today not to let you immediately establish a peaceful and prosperous world, but let you understand the meaning of progress, learn to reform, change the bad, and slowly change everything. There is an Ao country in the north of Shenwu Continent. The king of Ao country has only seen some high-tech of the Mechanical Empire, and then he learned a lot of things without a teacher and even enjoyed innovation. I don’t know how innovative Ao country is now, but he will undoubtedly be remembered in history and admired by generations, not the kind of admiration of decades or hundreds of years in various countries, but the admiration recorded in Shenwu Continent for thousands of years. "
Princess Junru didn’t expect the magic cube to evaluate a person like this. In fact, the magic cube only calculated the reform and innovation of the king of Ao country based on some details of Ao country.
"Reform and innovation... What will it look like after reform and innovation?"
After hearing Princess Junru’s question, the magic cube thought about it, and then picked up Princess Junru’s mobile phone to project the picture of a large international city in the Earth Dragon Country in the fire. In front of Princess Junru was a huge picture, with high-rise buildings and busy traffic, and people living happily and peacefully in the city. There was no war, no chaos, and people lived a quiet and peaceful life.
Princess Junru stared at the screen with her cherry-like mouth wide open. In her eyes, this was the kingdom of God and the fairyland. There were strange but very pleasing clothes, and all kinds of items to choose from. People could walk on the streets with confidence...
"As long as... as long as reform and innovation... can we achieve what this world looks like? Is that your mechanical empire?"
Putting away the projection, the Magic Cube thought of the mechanical life in the Milky Way, the friends he had been with for a long time, and Zhang Xiaowen...
"The Magic Cube?"
"Ah? Oh, sorry, I was distracted just now." The Magic Cube rubbed his forehead to ease his mood.
"That's right. As long as you can persist in reform and innovation to make everyone positive, you can do it in about two hundred years, or even earlier. That is not the Mechanical Empire. The Mechanical Empire is countless times more advanced than there. Well, let's not talk about this. I have sent the reform plan to your mobile phone. After your father is buried, I will help you ascend the throne, and then, build roads..."
Yes, Mofang is talking about building roads. If you want to be rich, you must first build roads. With roads, everything is convenient and close distances. The development of prosperous logistics will naturally be very fast. This principle is understood by everyone on Earth. Shenwu Continent has no habit of building roads at all. It will only build a bridge in some places where it is necessary to cross the river. When talking about roads, the first thing that comes to mind is the streets in the city.
When Mofang first came to Shenwu Continent, he was shocked by the traffic conditions here. Only heavy trucks can drive, or you have to drive a zero-gravity suspension sports car.
The roads in the wild were trampled out by the horsemen of various caravans after walking for a long time. No country or city spent a penny to build roads. The reason was very simple. The roads were built in the wild where they could not be seen and needed. It would be much better to use the money to build mansions, attics and hide beautiful women. Only a fool would use the money to build roads in the wild. As for the world of immortal cultivators, they could not be counted on. Apart from meditating, they fought for resources and killed people for goods. Who cared about things that were useless to them?
Although the Rubik's Cube looks like a saint, it is just thinking about mechanical life with human thinking. Mechanical life cares about order and has plenty of time and super ability to establish order. When those people laugh at robots for establishing order and think that people will be punished by heaven and earth if they don't work for themselves, they don't look at themselves as the beneficiaries of establishing order.
…………
Two days later.
The old king's funeral was held, and then there was a quarrel in the court. Many ministers united to impeach Princess Junru and force Princess Junru to leave the palace. They wanted to choose another virtuous person to govern the Yao Kingdom. Only a few ministers who had no say supported Princess Junru. In fact, everyone knew that uniting to drive Princess Junru away was only the first step. The next few important ministers would fight each other and finally decide the winner to control the country. If Princess Junru left the palace, the Yao Kingdom would be torn apart like the seven countries.
In the court, many ministers quarreled.
"Quiet!" Princess Junru shouted.
The ministers were silent. Two of them didn't even look at Princess Junru, but smiled respectfully at the Mofang sitting beside them. They were the two most powerful ministers among the ministers, but no matter how powerful they were, they didn't dare to act rashly in front of the Mechanical Empire. Even the Seven Nations Coalition was defeated, let alone a small country like Yao.
"Mechanical Empire Envoy, what do you think?" Princess Junru said to Mofang.
Hearing this, many ministers were shocked. It was well known that Princess Junru had a good relationship with the Mechanical Empire Envoy. It was said that she often stayed in the palace for a long time, and at night...
