Chapter 410
"Didn't you complain to me that you were tired two days ago? Why, are you not tired now?"
Su Yi asked a little funny.
"Well... this matter has come to this point, so we have to bite the bullet no matter what, right?" Weiwei said a little embarrassed.
As both members of the trading platform, the reason why Su Yi and Wei Wei choose completely different methods of controlling their world is that if we want to dig deeper, the hundreds of thousands of years of civilization history in the magical world are too monotonous.
Their gods have absolutely powerful power over ordinary people, which means that no matter whether the things and decisions made by these gods are correct or not, people in this world can only accept and adapt.
Because it is impossible for humans to kill God.
In comparison, although Blue Star's civilization history is not as long as that of the Magic World, fortunately, people will die when they are killed.
When a person really stands against the vast majority of other people, no matter how incalculable his wealth is or how huge his power is, he will only be crushed in the end.
Blue Star has a saying that the torrent of history is like a rolling wheel, and those who try to stand in front of the wheel are like a mantis trying to control the wheel, overestimating their own capabilities.
This wheel, which is likened to the torrent of history, is the will of the vast majority of people within a certain period of time.
But in the wizarding world, this metaphor needs to be reversed.
Because the will of the gods is the truly unchangeable rolling wheel, and ordinary people who want to change the will of the gods are actually the mantises blocking the wheel by overestimating their own abilities.
It doesn't matter if this mantis represents the vast majority of people in the magical world.
This creates two completely different worlds and very counter-intuitive development results.
Blue Star, which has a shorter history, has a more colorful history of civilization than the Magical World.
Maybe someone will ask at this time, the history of mankind on Blue Star is a history of war, and the entire human race on Blue Star has gradually developed in uninterrupted wars.
In comparison, there are only a few empires in the magical world, and their existence is measured in tens of thousands of years.
Stable and scary.
The stability of this kind of large-scale political power normally represents long-term stable peace.
During this time, aren’t the people in the magical world having a much better time than Blue Star?
But is this really the case?
Obviously not. Although the governments of those empires in the magical world are stable, the lives of the residents under their rule may not always remain stable.
For example, in the northern territory of the Blazing Sun Empire, if it weren't for the frequent invasions of alien races, the northern territory would not have built a super-large fortress like Mengchuan City to resist alien races.
There are almost constant wars here.
It is actually very similar to the ancient Northern Territory of Kyushu.
However, in ancient times, Kyushu was really likely to lose its country if foreigners moved south. Therefore, no matter how incompetent or ignorant the emperor of the capital was, if he encountered foreigners from the north moving south, he would have to find a way to fight them. If he couldn't defeat them, he would still have to find a way to quell the war.
But because of the existence of those ancestors in the Chiyang Empire, there was no concern that the country would be destroyed and the emperor would become a prisoner.
Faced with the alien problem that is raging in the north every day, will it seriously solve it?
What a fart!
Before obtaining the trading platform, Weiwei had been besieged in Mengchuan City for several years. At that time, the old emperor was not dead yet, and there was no talk of sending any elite elites from the empire to provide support.
After the death of the old emperor, the eldest prince, who claimed to have succeeded to the throne through a posthumous decree, and the other princes were also not interested in taking care of the troubles in the north. They only gave some verbal support and some innocuous benefits.
Of course, as the party being invaded, whether it was the old emperor at that time or the current princes, they naturally had to publicly express their attitude towards the alien race going south.
Without exception, they all expressed what they would do if the foreigners going south hurt Weiwei, and how they would persuade the foreigners to retreat quickly.
The reason is either the deep love between father and daughter, or the deep love between brother and sister.
After all, Weiwei, as the princess of the Chiyang Royal Family, is full of talents and popularity, and is a symbol of the royal family outside. If a foreign tribe goes south and hurts her, it will be a slap in the face of the Chiyang Imperial Family. This is absolutely not allowed. of.
As for the northern territories and the casualties of ordinary people and soldiers, they don't care.
The territory of the empire is demarcated by the gods. Even if the foreign tribes from the north go south and never leave, they will have to pay taxes to the Chiyang Empire in the end. There is no such thing as saying that you go south and rob the territory of several provinces of the empire. The possibility of breaking the earth and sealing a king to establish his own business.
It's just that the tax payers in several northern provinces have changed from human races to a bunch of messy alien races. For the Royal Family of the Blazing Sun Empire, there is not much difference.
In addition, whether it is the Blazing Sun Empire or several other empires on the mainland.
Their physiques are still stuck in the feudal period of the Zhou Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago in the ancient Blue Star Nine Provinces.
For example, the Emperor of the Chiyang Empire, as the co-owner of the empire, has a mess of kingdoms, principalities and fiefs under him.
Some of these fiefdoms belonged to royal princes, while others belonged to some great nobles.
In the unified dynasties after the Zhou Dynasty, Kyushu would also have such things as fiefdoms, but such fiefdoms were usually only in name. In the early days, some fiefdoms had their own governance teams, which only needed to accept the supervision of the central court. In the later stages of development, the rights that the recipients could exercise in the fiefdom were almost only to collect money.
Internal governance, conscription, etc. are all handled by people from the central court.
The fiefdoms of the Chiyang Empire are different, as can be seen from Weiwei's previous authority in Mengchuan City.
In her fiefdom, she is the biggest.
Except for those special knights who can issue knighthoods, which need to be recognized by the central government of the empire, almost everything else is determined by her.
Even conscription, if only ordinary soldiers are recruited, can be unlimited.
The nobles have absolute control over the fiefdoms, which is almost exactly the same as the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty in ancient Jiuzhou.
The only difference is probably that the royal family of the Chiyang Empire is really divine, and has a 100% deterrent power over the vassal states, so it is impossible for the situation of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, where the vassal states competed for hegemony and did not respect the Zhou emperor, as in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
But no one said that if the Zhou emperor was respected, the vassal states would not fight each other!
The wars within the Chiyang Empire have almost never stopped for more than 100,000 years, and the reasons for the nobles to fight are more bizarre than one another, even child's play.
The wars involving hundreds of thousands of people are just a drop in the bucket.
The central government of the empire is too lazy to care about most of these things. As long as it is not too ugly, it is fine. Even if it is really a region where no roosters crow for thousands of miles and the people are living in misery, at most they will call the offending parties to the imperial capital to reprimand them, and then mediate the conflict as a referee.
These nobles don't have to pay any price at all.
Will the people living in an empire with such a mechanism really live in peace for more than 100,000 years? Obviously it is nonsense.
