Chapter 778: Discussion
"Reading is not a profession but a means of understanding knowledge. Only with knowledge can we create a prosperous world. The knowledge I am talking about is not reciting poems and correcting them, but the understanding and innovation of various things. Why did you create the word in the first place? To become an official and make a fortune? Wrong, writing is created to facilitate the recording of events and the transmission of information. How many people are using words now? What's the difference between words?" Rubik's Cube said disdainfully. A good information exchange tool has suddenly become a tool for gaining wealth and power. No wonder it is so backward.
"..." Princess Junru remained silent.
"Perhaps you are a wise king who can create a prosperous world. This is also a big thing that most people with ambitions and ideals want to do. Let the people of the world have clothes to wear, houses to live in, and food to eat. It seems great to me. It seems that he is a short-sighted person seeking fame and reputation.”
"You are not allowed to speak of the sages like that!"
"Tch, sages, it sounds good, but have you ever thought about it, when Mingjun burps, uh... passes away, sages die, and the one who takes over is a loser, how many years can the prosperous age last? Twenty years? Fifty years ? Then the dynasty collapses and someone rebels against the self-proclaimed emperor and establishes a new dynasty to continue the prosperity, continue to ruin the family, continue to collapse, and continue to have a new emperor appear, is it over? "
"Isn't this the law of nature? When things flourish, they must decline; when they are divided for a long time, they must be reunited; when they are combined for a long time, they must be divided. This is how the world is." Princess Junru said.
"Well, if we divide for a long time, we will unite and if we unite for a long time, we will divide. Since we can't achieve permanent prosperity, why don't we find ways to prolong the prosperous age so that those who want to change it can't change it? What you said when technological civilization is lagging behind will decline if it divides for a long time and must unite for a long time. The inevitable division is in line with the current situation, but when civilization rises and technology develops, it will only become more prosperous and not necessarily declining. Even if it is divided, it doesn't matter. The key is that you have to let ordinary people live a good life. Look at the seven countries now, except for the powerful Can those ordinary people be called humans? They would rather be peace dogs than people in troubled times. Do you think they should be exploited? "
"…………"
"What I'm telling you today is not to let you build a peaceful and prosperous age right away, but to let you understand the meaning of progress. You must learn to reform, get rid of the bad things, and slowly change everything. There is a proud country in the northern part of the Shenwu Continent. King Aoguo just saw some of the high technologies of the Mechanical Empire, and then he learned a lot of things without any teacher and was even willing to innovate. I don’t know how innovative Aoguo is now, but he will undoubtedly be famous in history. The admiration from generation to generation is not the admiration of various countries for decades and hundreds of years, but the admiration recorded in the Shenwu Continent for thousands of generations. "
Princess Junru did not expect Rubik's Cube to evaluate a person in this way. In fact, Rubik's Cube only calculated the reforms and innovations of the King of Aoguo based on some details of Aoguo.
"Reform and innovation...what will it look like after reform and innovation?"
After hearing Princess Junru's question, the Rubik's Cube thought for a while, then picked up Princess Junru's mobile phone and projected a picture of a large international city in the Earth Dragon Kingdom in Tinder. In front of Princess Junru was a huge picture, with high-rise buildings, busy traffic, and people. Live a happy and peaceful life in the city. There is no war or chaos. People live in peace and quiet.
Princess Junru stared at the picture with her mouth wide open. In her eyes, this is the fairyland of the Kingdom of God, with weird but pleasing costumes and various items to choose from. People can walk on the streets with confidence and boldness... …
"As long as...as long as we reform and innovate, we can... make this world what it is? Is that your mechanical empire?"
Putting away the projection, Rubik's Cube thought of the mechanical life in the galaxy, his long-time friends, and Zhang Xiaowen...
"rubik's cube?"
"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, I lost my mind just now." Rubik's Cube rubbed his forehead to ease his mood.
"Yes, as long as you insist on reform and innovation to make everyone positive, you can do it in about two hundred years, or even earlier. That is not a mechanical empire. The mechanical empire is countless times more advanced than that. Okay, 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 the road..."
Yes, the Rubik's Cube is talking about building roads. If you want to get rich, build roads first. With roads, you can do anything convenient and shorten the distance. Logistics will naturally develop very quickly. Everyone on earth understands this truth. There are no roads built in Shenwu Continent. I am used to building bridges at places that need to cross rivers. When talking about roads, the first thing that comes to mind is the streets in the city.
When he first came to Shenwu Continent, Rubik's Cube was shocked by the traffic conditions here. Only heavy-duty trucks could drive, or they had to have gravity-free suspended sports cars.
Those roads in the wild were made by caravans and horsemen who had been walking for a long time. Cities in various countries did not spend a single coin to build roads. The reason is very simple. Roads are built in the wild and you can’t see them or use them. If you have money, you can use them to build mansions. It's so good to build an attic to hide the beauty, but only a fool takes the money to the wild to build roads. As for the world of immortality, there is no hope. They only meditate and compete for resources, kill people and buy goods. Who cares about things that are useless to them.
Although the Rubik's Cube seems to be a bit of a saint, it is just using human thinking to think about mechanical life. Mechanical life cares about order and has a lot of time and super ability to establish order. When those people laugh at robots for establishing order, they feel that people are not doing it for themselves. When the world is being destroyed, they don't realize that they are the beneficiaries of the establishment of order.
…………
Two days later.
The old king went to the funeral, and then there was a quarrel in the court. Many ministers united to impeach Princess Junru and forced Princess Junru to leave the palace. They wanted to choose another worthy person to govern the Yao Kingdom. Only a few people who had no say supported Princess Junru. Minister, in fact, everyone knows that uniting to drive away Princess Junru is only the first step. Next, several important ministers will fight against each other and finally determine the winner to take control of the country. If Princess Junru leaves the palace, the Yao Kingdom will be torn apart and divided. Same as the Seven Kingdoms.
In the court, many ministers were noisy.
"Quiet!" Princess Junru shouted.
The ministers were quiet. Two of them did not look at Princess Junru. Instead, they smiled respectfully at the Rubik's Cube sitting beside them. They were the two most powerful ministers among the ministers, but no matter how powerful they were, they could not If you dare to make a mistake in front of the Machinery Empire, even the Allied Forces of the Seven Kingdoms will be defeated, let alone a small country like Yao Country that you dare not offend.
"Messenger of the Mechanical Empire, what do you think?" Princess Junru said to the Rubik's Cube.
Hearing these words, many ministers were shocked. It is well known that Princess Junru has a good relationship with the envoys of the Machinery Empire. It is said that she often stays in the palace for half a day, and it is also at night...
