"Wufeng, if you have something to express to me, you might as well say it directly. I can feel the unfinished meaning in your words. Although I am a member of the Situ family, as the saying goes, marry a chicken and follow the chicken. , Marry a dog and follow the dog, now it seems that Situ Yutang’s surname should be preceded by the surname Li, not to mention that Yutang is not an ignorant person, you should know that I am all ears. "
Bright eyes raised up and fell on Wu Feng's face. Rong Rong's eyes were like invisible pressure, which made Wu Feng feel a little guilty. Even Wu Feng himself felt a little strange, as if he had stolen something from the other party. Whatever is ordinary, there is always a smell that is not so justified. But this was just a momentary feeling. Today I came here just to lift this layer of gauze from the person beside my pillow. If I continue to cover it up like this, Wu Feng feels suffocated and constrained, and he also treats the other person as a kind of Disrespectful.
"Yutang, I've wanted to have a serious talk with you for a long time, and today is the perfect day." An Ran sat next to the beauty, and Wu Feng changed the angle of his body, deliberately narrowing the distance between the two parties. "I'm afraid you know that the Western Xinjiang Army has regained the East China Sea. The situation in the empire has become increasingly clear. I think we need to talk about the next step and our marriage."
With a sigh in his heart, Situ Yutang knew that what was supposed to come would always come. Perhaps his fiancé felt that now was the right time to show off to the Situ family. He was an important member of the Situ family, and his other identity was Situ. The family gravedigger - the fiancée of the founder of the Xijiang Dynasty. Such a conflicting identity forced Wu Feng to express his attitude to himself first. This was somewhat difficult, but it was a level that must be passed.
"Wufeng. We should really have a good talk. Since we can't avoid or stop it, why can't we work together to solve these problems? I also think that it is better to discuss these matters calmly than to use abuse and force to solve them. Much more. Although I can no longer represent the Situ family in terms of status, I believe that I can understand the mentality of most members of the Situ family now, except for a few individuals." The Situ Yutang of today is no longer the Situ Yutang of the past. With her increasing understanding of Xijiang and her in-depth analysis of her fiancé's character, and looking at the current performance of the Situ family, she has been able to treat everything that is about to happen with a very calm and peaceful attitude. She even believes in herself He is the only person who can preserve the greatest interests for the Situ family in this final stage.
"Very well, Yutang, I'm very happy that you have such awareness and thoughts. I also believe that you should have a sufficient understanding of Xijiang and me in the past few years, and also have a deep understanding of the current situation of the empire. How will the future of our Tanghe nation go? I think it is necessary for me to explain my thoughts to you." Wufeng had unknowingly regarded Situ Yutang as a partner who could talk to him about his thoughts. This feeling was very Strangely, perhaps it was Situ Yutang's calm and tender demeanor that made Wu Feng feel at ease.
"Yes. I also want to hear Wu Feng's future plans. Maybe I can cheer for Wu Feng." The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his beautiful dimples gave Wu Feng an indescribable feeling. Peaceful charm.
"The Tanghe Empire has reached this point and seems to have little value for existing anymore. Of course, I only mean that the ambition and hegemony that the empire had when it was founded has been wiped away by time. When an empire loses its pioneering spirit and internal promotion, I believe that the collapse of this dynasty or empire is already doomed, it’s just a matter of time. There is a saying that a soldier who is not a marshal is not a good soldier. I think this sentence can be used in a dynasty and empire. The same applies to the body. If a dynasty only wants to be content with the status quo and covet comfort and enjoyment, then the fate of this dynasty will probably be very short-lived. Of course, I do not mean that the rulers go to war for unrealistic delusions, but this kind of pioneering and enterprising The spirit must exist. The people may not necessarily understand in many cases, so the rulers should guide the people to gradually understand and realize the necessity and importance of the ruler’s intentions. The more important thing is to make the mainstream people realize the rule. The benefits and rewards that the user's intentions will bring to them, to put it bluntly. It means understanding them with reason, moving them with emotion, and luring them with profit. Among them, luring them with profit is the most important, and this is the most critical internal promotion. force."
Situ Yutang nodded silently. She could already understand her fiancé's thoughts. It was a good idea to use profits to inspire people to expand their territory and use the media to attract people's intentions.
"The Tanghe nation has been shrinking in the past hundred years and must be improved. As the largest nation in the Eastern Continent and a very influential nation in the Central Continent, the new empire should gain its necessary status and status in the entire Laya Continent. Interests, unifying the empire is only the first step in a long journey. The Tanghe nation has a long history and glorious civilization, and should not rest on its laurels and settle in a small world. This is my opinion."
"Now we have achieved a very good strategic situation. To the north, the Liberian people's ambition to invade the south has been completely eliminated under our heavy blow. Being able to protect themselves is their limit. Our next step is to ensure that we protect them. The advantages have been consolidated and strengthened, and it is not impossible to take powerful measures to reintegrate and divide the power structure in this region when necessary. The Japanese in the east are acting aggressively in the Atlantic Ocean, and the maritime rights and interests circle is strangled by them. This is something we cannot We must fight back resolutely to regain what is rightfully ours. This will be the next important strategy for the new empire. To the south, we have gained a foothold in the Southern Ocean, and the peninsula will now belong to our backyard. , to ensure the stability of the backyard and the protection of the extension of our interests, we still need to maintain strong pressure. Of course, we cannot relax in the necessary actions to fight for interests. The west is also the focus of our strategy, and the Indian region makes us do our part. As a special interest area, no one’s actions may harm our interests in this area, which means that we can only defend the interests of this area ourselves. Northern Luzon is also the focus of our control, and the people of Luzon are already in Central The mainland has set off a frenzy for hegemony in the Central Continent, which will inevitably affect our strategic interests. It is not in our interests to have an overly powerful neighbor next to Northern Luzon. If possible, we will try our best to avoid this phenomenon. .”
Just like two close friends who have met each other so late, Wu Feng has unknowingly regarded the beauty around him as someone to whom he can confide everything. Everything he has hidden in his heart is revealed in this harmonious atmosphere, and Situ Yutang's expression of listening attentively also made Wu Feng very pleased. At least the other party did not show impatience or resentment.
"Wufeng, I don't want to comment specifically on your planning ideas, but I agree with your point of view, that is, if a dynasty loses its enterprising spirit, the dynasty will come to an end. Of course, you Being able to pay attention to the voices and needs of the people makes me even happier. A monarch who resorts to military force and does not spare the people's power will also not succeed, and will also bring huge disasters to the nation. If a perfect balance can be found between the two This is where real success lies." Situ Yutang obviously listened very carefully and analyzed Wu Feng's thoughts and opinions. It should be said that she also unknowingly integrated herself into being one with Wu Feng. In his role, his opinions are also tactful and pertinent.
"Very good, Yutang, I'm very happy that you can understand me like this. Now we can talk about the barrier between you and me, which is the future status of the Situ family. I won't deny that many people Including some of my important subordinates and influential business people who advocate the complete abolition of the privileges of the imperial nobles and depriving them of everything, the Situ family as their first representative is no exception." The calm tone did not seem to be talking about. Wu Feng doesn't seem to care much about the fate of a royal family that once ruled the entire empire, "But I don't quite agree with this view. The reason why the imperial aristocrats and gentry became the ruling class of the empire has its own special historical background and reasons. It also has its social foundation and origin, and it is not created by one person out of thin air. Of course, history is moving forward now, and the imperial aristocracy, as a representative of the landed aristocracy, can no longer monopolize the upper political strata of the empire. The rise of the industrial and commercial class Becoming a member of the political upper class of the new empire is also an inevitable result of the development and growth of the industrial and commercial economy. This may seem contradictory, but it is not irreconcilable. I have carefully analyzed some of them and found some interesting things."
Situ Yutang was obviously more interested in this aspect than Wu Feng's exposition of his grand hegemony plan just now, and his eyes showed an inquiring look.
"I found that the five major families of the empire, which were the first representatives of the land aristocrats of the Tanghe Empire, no longer seem to fit their original identities. In addition to using the coat of nobles on them to gain privileges and benefits for their own economic industries, these few families This family seems to have completely lost the mark of the landed aristocracy. Land is simply dispensable to them, and the industrial and commercial industries are their real wealth. The economic foundation has changed, can they still be regarded as the landed aristocracy?" Wu Feng asked with a smile.
