Twenty years! In just 20 years, the world has completely changed. ¡ðThe old world seems to be a bubble under the new political strategy, bursting as soon as it is popped, with almost no ability to resist. In the past twenty years, the four kingdoms of Xu, Feng, Zhou, and Wu have expanded crazily, and the human race has ushered in an unprecedented pattern. The power of the country has become dominant! Even Confucian military strategists must rely on the power of the state to survive. In the east, Xu Kingdom has a radius of millions of miles and a population of hundreds of millions. In addition to Han Zong's Legalists and Mohists, Xu Kingdom has also annexed the medical family; forget about Shushan, it is still half-dead, but there are a few old immortals who are indeed Very powerful; but without aura, everything is in vain! In addition to these, there are schools cultivated by Xu Kingdom that are completely loyal to the royal family; such as Qiuye Wutong Mountain, Chivalrous Confucianism, and many other great schools born in Xu Kingdom due to the ideological enlightenment movement and the integration of other schools of thought. Schools big and small. The entire Xu Kingdom is like a wild jungle, and Xiao Hao is the king of the entire jungle; but in the jungle there are fierce tigers and lions (Han Zong Legalist and Mohist), cheetahs and strong bears (such as Qiuye Wutong Mountain and the Xiaru lineage), gentle and The majestic elephant (such as the doctor), and other animals large and small (other schools). The entire Xu Kingdom looks chaotic, but that's just the surface. In fact, Xu Country is well-ordered and has achieved an "ecological balance"; of course, those plants, trees, mountains and rocks are equivalent to civilians. The development of Xuguo is obvious to all. The domestic highways are crisscrossing the country, and the new capital is "Tianjing". It is a huge city close to the Central Plains, with a population of more than 100 million. This is a city with a radius of 150 miles; The square-like road spreads out from the city, running through the entire Xu Kingdom like blood. And after the Xu Kingdom moved its capital several times in the past twenty years, it left behind a "sword road"! This road starts from the East China Sea, passes through Xishan Town, passes through Liguang City, passes through Shangqiu of the original Song Dynasty, and passes through the capital of the Xu Kingdom since its migration. It has intentionally or unintentionally formed a "sword road". The sword points to the Central Plains, and the sword points to the west; this road seems to condense the pace and wisdom of Xu Guo's development, exuding an aura called pride and pride. This road actually has a little intelligence, which is equivalent to Xiao Hao artificially creating a dragon vein. , but this dragon vein is a bit special. Except for these, in twenty years. Xuguo Camera has completed its four five-year plans, and domestic masters who have become prosperous are using methods similar to raising pigs, and they are all over the streets! This was unimaginable in the past, and the difficulty of Ziqi Dongsheng is almost universally recognized; but Xiao Hao has opened people's horizons through popularization of education, ideological enlightenment, and the promotion of scientific thinking. After twenty years of taking over, Xu Guo¡¯s Ziqi Dongshang master lost his job! Yes, many Ziqidongsheng masters are unemployed; there is no way, there are too many. Of course, the so-called unemployment refers to the middle and high levels. Ziqi Dongsheng will never be respected beyond the standards like in the past. In addition, Xuguo's commerce and industry have also made great progress; however, because there are supernatural powers and gods in this world, Xiao Hao has not developed any gunpowder weapons (do you believe it? In fact, it is secretly developed but not revealed) ); and some other related industries have been born. Such as the railway! Xuguo now covers more than one million kilometers from east to west, north to south, making trains the most popular means of transportation. With the help of magical masters, these trains can run at a speed of 150 kilometers/300 miles even though they only use steam engines; magical masters can make the craftsmanship reach a very high level of precision. Of course, steam ships are indispensable. In short. The social system and political system that Xiao Hao developed by combining the characteristics of the two worlds made the surrounding countriesincomprehensible. There is a problem. For example, Toyokuni! Fengguo has always imitated and learned from the development of Xuguo; but when the development of Xuguo suddenly accelerated and the railway ships were rolling, Fengguo was dumbfounded because the relevant industrial and handicraft schools had long been secretly adopted by Xiao Hao through businessmen, etc. After being poached, he will enjoy the treatment of a scientist in Xu Country. It¡¯s okay if you can¡¯t keep up with Xu Guo¡¯s footsteps all of a sudden; and Feng Guo, which has been imitating Xu Guo¡¯s development, can¡¯t catch up, so there will be a problem! This fall resulted in a black nose and swollen eyes! In fact, it was not only Feng who fell, Zhou and Wu also suffered bruises and swollen eyes. Think about what will happen if transportation cannot keep up when commerce is highly developed? Needless to say. Economic crisis! The economic crisis breaks out from many aspects, but one thing is for sure, the free market economy is sometimes fragile. As long as a corner is disturbed, sometimes a chain reaction will occur! Of course, Xiao Hao is taking advantage of this economic crisis to make huge profits. Take advantage of transportation. Xiao Hao just used low-priced products to mess up the three countries. In addition, the Xu Kingdom has a monopoly on the eastern coast. Under the guidance of Xiao Hao, the merchants of the Xu Kingdom directly use sea salt to attack the relatively high-priced salt in the mainland.?, to control the secret salt markets of various countries. Subsequently, Xiao Hao did not raise the price, but started an information war! The use of salt is the basis of daily necessities. Businessmen in Xuguo often engage in promotions, so of course they must promote Xuguo. What, not allowed to be publicized? Believe it or not, your salt supply will be cut off tomorrow! Come on, a few Luck Coins are not a sign of respect, hahaha Also, using economic warfare, Xiao Haoleng hyped up the newly produced scarlet red Luck Coins from Xu Guo into a high-priced currency, one worth three! Look, what is luck? The Xu Kingdom is probably more influential than the other three countries; and the luck coins of the Xu Kingdom are scarlet red. This is because it combines the luck of the three talents of heaven, earth and people, while other luck coins are actually the luck of the heaven, earth and people. , without 'people's' luck, this thing would be incomplete, right? Under such publicity and hype, Xiao Haoleng shamelessly tripled the value of his country's luck coins out of thin air, making people from other countries howl in anger. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and Fengguo is indeed the most developed. It is like two overlords with Xuguo, one in the east and one in the west. It also has a land diameter of more than one million. However, the Zajia family and the Li Zongfa family in Fengguo are relatively exclusive. In addition, they have suffered a lot from imitating Xuguo. In fact, it is largely thanks to them that they do not know that they have suffered. For example, the price of salt in Xuguo is unified, the price of seafood is very low, and because of its proximity to the sea and railway transportation, the people are very satisfied. But these things are different in other countries. Because of transportation and Xuguo's deliberate control, prices vary widely in different regions in other countries, which makes people dissatisfied. And the trap here is: opening up the people¡¯s wisdom. But it cannot satisfy and guide people¡¯s wisdom! But Fengguo obviously did not realize this problem. They only saw that the country was prosperous, but they did not catch up to the fact that the roots of the tree seemed to be poisoned. ??Besides Xu Kingdom, the two countries of Zhou and Wu that developed later are also pretty good, but a bit small; the diameter of these two countries does not exceed 300,000 miles. However, Wu State is dominated by military strategists. The entire country is like a large military camp, and even Xiao Hao has a headache when facing this country. The Zhou Kingdom was very powerful in terms of culture and governance, and this allowed them to give birth to many masters of magical powers, although their folk were not very good. Nowadays, apart from the four huge countries, the human race¡¯s territory is the Central Plains. The Central Plains is surrounded by four families in the middle, and now they all have some rat-proof weapons. The Central Plains has a diameter of 100,000 miles, and there is a ring of remaining "small" countries around it. In fact, these countries are not small, many of them are more than 10,000 miles in diameter, but they can only tremble in the face of today's four big countries. sky. Really changed! Although many people in the Central Plains believed it, when the borders of the four countries were pushed to the Central Plains, everyone was still at a loss. The Central Plains is different from other places. The management here has always been similar to an association or a consortium, so the people in the Central Plains don't have many expectations for the Four Kingdoms. We have already lived very well. In fact, part of the Central Plains instinctively opposes the rule. Our free life is very comfortable! But obviously, the four countries will not give up on the Central Plains! In fact, everyone now understands that the next era of unification of the human race is coming, and one of the four countries will inevitably appear. Maybe. The most brutal war is coming. But there is another difference in the Central Plains. This is the center of the human race. This place is naturally a good place to be a capital because of its prosperous fortune; the most important thing is that there are many masters here and there are so many family schools. This is definitely a hot potato but also a sweet potato! The era of the Four Kingdoms has arrived, but no one knows how long this era will last. Likewise, Zhongyuan is also paying attention to the surrounding situation. Finally, a storm swept across, and the four emperors of the Four Kingdoms prepared to meet in the Central Plains. The two sides launched their first negotiation. It is said that this negotiation was initiated by Xiao Hao first, and the other three countries subsequently agreed and met with the attention of various factions in the Central Plains. The place where the four parties meet is the Central Plains. The past twenty years have been turbulent, and the four empires have dominated the world. Now the emperors of the four empires are going to meet in the Central Plains, and I don't know how many people are paying attention to it. "Have you heard? Now the four most powerful countries are going to meet in the Central Plains. I wonder how exciting it will be?" "I think Xu Kingdom is good. Everything starts from Xu Kingdom, and the following countries are nothing but It's just imitation." "Which one of you saw it? Is Wu Guo, a military strategist, also developing his own?" "Stop arguing, just go and take a look. The most annoying thing is Feng Guo. He has betrayed the interests of the human race since the beginning of the Za family, and then shamelessly copied Xu Guo. I heard that Xu Guo had quarrels with Feng Guo many times over some patent issues, but Feng Guo is really not that thick-skinned. "Of course you should be thick-skinned, otherwise you would be an emperor. It is said that these four emperors are not very old now. It is said that Xiao Hao has reached the peak of loyalty. level, ?At least a few hundred years of life. Xuguo will definitely continue to grow and develop in the future. Speaking of which, if the world is finally unified, I also hope that it will be the Xu Kingdom. " "I hope it is Wu Guo. In this way, we can go to war abroad and unify Dongsheng Shenzhou! "Bah, your eyesight is not good, Wu Guo is just a reckless man." They are just a group of people who know how to fight. I believe that as long as Xu Guo has free hands, a few economic strategies can bring Wu Guo down. "Well, Xiao Hao has really changed the world. Even ordinary scholars know about economic warfare. "Prepare the light and shadow recording ball. When the four emperors meet, the scene will definitely shock the world. The four major powers have begun to possess some of the majesty of the ancient Xia and Shang dynasties, and they will be very exciting after all. " "The light and shadow recording jade ball, it seems to be something developed by Xu State and Shushan. This thing is really expensive, one costs three luck coins. " "I will sell a luck coin in Xuguo. " "That's a treasure coin from Xu Guo, okay? The sapphire red luck coin is a treasure coin. Not the deductible luck coins. " "Ah ah ah, now that you say it, I really hope that the Xu Kingdom will dominate the world. " "Shhhhh I don't want to live anymore. Leave quickly. " This kind of situation has happened again and again in the Central Plains. In fact, Xiao Hao is the driving force behind many such scenes happening in the past twenty years! " Another day, the sky is clear and bright, dotted with white clouds. Look. It looks like the sky in a fairy tale; but on a plain in the Central Plains, a plain that is thousands of miles away, there are many people; all kinds of voices come and go, everyone is exchanging their own ideas, and the Central Plains traditions such as Tianxia Jiuliu and Baigong are influential. All the powerful factions sent people (all heads of families in the Central Plains) to greet them. Of course, these people were also the intermediaries in the negotiations between the four parties. At noon, when the sun was just at the zenith, the changes came first from the west. Endless green light rose into the sky, as if it was competing with the sun in the sky. Then I saw a black line appearing at the end of the sky and the intersection of the sky and the earth. The black line was very thin at first, but it soon started. Everyone was shocked when it became thicker. What kind of black line was this? It was just an army of black armor! But this army was all flying in the clouds. "An army of millions!" " "They are all masters of Ziqi Dongsheng! The world is crazy! " "Fengguo is mighty! mighty! mighty! "The mighty sound came from afar, like thunder roaring from the sky. Under the roar of these millions of masters of magical powers, the sky was turbulent, and countless leisurely white clouds were torn apart, and finally turned into broken feathers, flying and dissipated. The heavy power Pressure came from the distance, and many ordinary people, even some young masters who had just ascended to the purple qi, were trembling and even the weak-minded ones knelt down. "Fengguo, His Majesty Wuwei has arrived! "A loud voice. A voice unique to eunuchs came. Of course, eunuchs cannot have such powerful abilities. This is because of the power of others. Of course, the power of eunuchs comes from the emperor. His Majesty the Emperor of Fengguo Li Ziyu, nicknamed Wuwei . Sitting on a huge golden throne, the throne is surrounded by countless masters, and there are also eighteen low-level Sun and Moon masters escorting them in the clouds. There is no shortage of cavalry, infantry, etc., all of them are masters after Zi Qi Dongsheng. The mighty power shocked the entire Central Plains. This is the real king. He is no longer the king of the small countries in the past. Everyone is laughing; now, the people here are all loyal to the master Zi Qi Dongsheng. However, before everyone has time to think more, there is a sudden change from the north! Boom! The sound of war drums resounded through the sky, and the aura of killing instantly enveloped the sky; the sky was still bright and sunny, but it seemed extremely depressed, as if the sky was about to collapse, as if the sun was about to fall, as if the earth was trembling. The tragic trombone sound resounded, and the tragic atmosphere rolled in like a wave; a green light appeared on the horizon, but although it was green light, it gave people a feeling of killing, cruelty, and coldness. Ordinary people could only feel like this. Feeling that their souls were directly exposed to the cold wind, those who had just knelt down under Fengguo's momentum suddenly peeed; and some who had not knelt down just now finally knelt down with a green color. Blue and black clouds slowly drifted in from the north, and a row of drummers and trumpet-playing soldiers were working hard above them; everyone was surprised again! Because here were also millions of soldiers, all masters of the purple energy rising from the east! You know, the area of ??Wu Kingdom is barely one-tenth of the two countries, Feng Kingdom and Xu Kingdom, but it can still spend millions of gods.Pass master! Compared to ordinary people, the faces of those aristocratic families, schools, etc. began to look serious. Is this a true dynasty? No, this is only a preliminary dynasty, not a unified dynasty yet! Dynasty, the entire Central Plains is under a powerful rule! It is not just like the small local governments of Wang Ting. The two sides are simply not comparable. "Wu Guo, His Majesty Jingwu has arrived!" This time the voice was not that of a eunuch, but a strong man's voice; everyone could see that at some point in front of all the troops, a man wearing black armor with a dark red back appeared. The caped general. Seeing this man, everyone's first reaction was that of iron-blooded might! The first general of Wu Kingdom, General Tiance, Sun Peng, the younger brother of Emperor Sun Wei! ¡°Rumble¡this time it¡¯s not the emperor¡¯s throne that appears, but a bloody horse!¡± The first person. Wearing blood-red armor and a black cloak with dark stripes on the back, he led a kind of cavalry to gallop through the sky. Underfoot is the ever-expanding green road of clouds, with cavalry crisscrossing above. All the cavalry have black armor and black cloaks, and they carry long swords and bows. Affected by the Xu** incident, the cavalry of the Wu Kingdom also changed. But all the cavalry are masters of Ziqi Dongsheng. The war horses under him have also undergone expensive treatment to imbue their bodies with luck! As soon as this group of cavalry came out, there were gasps from everywhere. It seemed as if a long sword was rushing towards me, with a fierce murderous intent! The emperor on the horse is Sun Wei, the Emperor of Wu Kingdom! The West and the North appeared one after another. Everyone started to look to the east and south. Living up to expectations, the South was the first to see changes. ?????????? Roads of green light¡ no, it¡¯s streams of green light, sweeping in like waves; but seeing this wave of light, everyone suddenly feels pure and peaceful. The sound of reading is heard. If you listen carefully, you can hear the reading sounds of The Analects of Confucius, Chunqiu, Yi, etc.; these sounds are mixed together. It sounds messy, but as long as you hit the spirit, you will find that all other sounds disappear, leaving only the classics you want to listen to. A special bit of blue light appeared from the south, and then spread rapidly. I saw a scene a carriage! Each carriage has a driver and a scholar; but the driver is a master of purple energy, and the scholar is a master of loyalty! And there are 200,000 such carriages! 200,000 loyal master! And because the carriage is huge, the team is more spread out, but the formation is larger. Almost covering the southern sky. In the center of the team is a purple carriage pulled by six horses; the whole body is decorated in various shades of purple. At first glance, it seemed like I was seeing the most noble thing in the world. There is a circle of cavalry next to this most noble carriage, and the cavalry are also dressed as scholars; but there are masters with a loyal heart, and even masters who shine with the sun and the moon! "Zhou Guo, His Majesty Lechang has arrived!" This time it was also the eunuch's voice. The emperor of Zhou was Kong Qingyun, the most talented young man in Confucianism in the past. As the shouting ended, a stream of green light rippled. It was as if the lake water was wrinkled, clear and beautiful; under the ripples of blue light, the ordinary people who had been frightened by Fengguo and Wuguo suddenly lost their fear, as if they saw the light; the dirt on these people's bodies was also completely removed, Everyone was in good spirits. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????. Countless people had a good impression of Confucianism and the Zhou Kingdom. "Humph! Humph!" Two slight hums came faintly. It was obvious that Feng Guo and Wu Guo were dissatisfied with Zhou Guo's behavior. The one in the west is the golden throne, the one in the north is the iron-blooded war horse, and the one in the south is the purple royal carriage. Each appearance makes people surprised and excited! Over the years, especially the younger generation, they have almost grown up in this changing era. They have been affected by the ideological storm from the Xu Kingdom, their minds are lively and restless, and they are full of a yearning for these four empires that the elderly do not understand. and curiosity. ¡°These young people watched ancient countries collapse like bubbles, and then watched the explosive growth of the four empires, and the little pride in their hearts was also detonated. Many young people want to serve in the four empires. But, why hasn¡¯t anyone from the East come yet at this time? "One moment, two momentsthe sun is at its peak, and the best time is almost over." "What is the Xu Kingdom doing?" Not to mention ordinary people, even the heads of various factions and the three major empires who have arrived are a little confused. The noise gradually became louder, and many people began to wonder. Is Xu Guo going to break the appointment? If you really fail to make an appointment on such a grand occasion, Xu Guo's great reputation will be reduced by half! "Xu Guo, His Majesty Dewu has arrived!" Finally, as the time was approaching noon, a voice finally came. But what about people? Just sound? Is there anything unusual in the eastern sky? "Have you all been looking for me earlier?" Xiao HaoruA steady voice came. Everyone looked down and saw Xiao Hao and Queen Qingyue walking in front on horseback; behind there was a team of less than a thousand people, including men and women, old and young, riding on ordinary horses slowly. Coming from the East. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Countless people were puzzled! (To be continued)
