Chapter 1684: Brand New Road

Zeng Yunfeng sat at the table and waited quietly. Not long after, a cup of hot tea was placed in front of him.

Zeng Yunfeng blew gently, then sniffed, took a sip, and put it in his mouth slightly, feeling a refreshing fragrance. After a while, he slowly swallowed the tea, and another clear fragrance.

Zeng Yunfeng couldn't help but shook his head and sighed that it was so good that the route had been opened. Sometimes, especially for a gourmet like him who tasted all the world's food, it was simply enjoyment.

Whether it is tea or other food, he has always been very picky.

Before the route is opened, the transport of tea to the Americas is simply a similar price of gold. After the route is opened, almost most people can afford this kind of thing.

Of course, at present, in the Iron Kingdom, it is limited to these noble classes.

What he is doing now is to promote these things. Tea is something that can only be gradually promoted if people slowly develop habits and even start to accept them, just like the coffee promotion in the White Iron Kingdom.

Zeng Yunfeng has also sent people to transplant some tea trees to Colombia and other regions for trial planting, but he doesn't know when his tea will be truly produced.

As a completely different political mechanism from other countries, the foundation of the Iron Kingdom is even different from that of other countries.

Moreover, this kind of different zone is very large. It must always maintain its advanced nature and be constantly updated and replaced, and always maintain the courage to ride the wind and waves like a warship, and dare to eat the first bite of crab that others dare not eat.

Only by being brave enough to explore can it last for a long time. It is completely different from other traditional kingdoms. If you cannot take this step, the Iron Kingdom will eventually become a country like the royal family in Europe, and eventually move towards institutional aging, bloated personnel, interconnectedness between nobles, and solidification of social classes.

It is almost inevitable to decline, although the Iron Kingdom now has its foundation and a large amount of territory.

But it doesn't mean that they can rest assured now. On the contrary, in Zeng Yunfeng's view, this crisis is visible and makes him worried.

It is not easy to get rid of the reputation of pirates, and it is not easy to break this political cycle.

After a certain period of rule, land annexation and a series of social problems will inevitably arise, which is also a vicious circle that the kingdoms can hardly escape.

However, Zeng Yunfeng saw some differences based on the establishment of the Navy of the White Iron Kingdom.

Perhaps in the future, Zeng Yunfeng thought that perhaps their goal would not be the ocean, but also the stars and seas.

As long as you dare to think and do it, this thing will not be impossible in the future.

What humans need is continuous exploration, rather than killing each other in one area.

The original purpose of the Age of Discovery was good, but it began to deteriorate slowly later.

People began to look at the whole world, and the world also showed them a different perspective from their past.

Once, their vision was limited to one acre and three-point land. Later, because of the connection between sea and land, everyone's eyes gathered together, and the world suddenly became widespread.

But when the exploration of the world ends, everything returns to the vicious circle of the former political cycle.

People began to seize resources, divide resources, fight each other, fight each other, war, riot, hunger, killing, and these things seemed to have no end.

However, people are extremely afraid of the stars and seas. Instead, because of this fear, people turn their attention to themselves again and start engaging in internal fighting, killing each other, and arguing with each other.

In Zeng Yunfeng's perception, most humans in the world he encountered were doing this, with almost no exception.

Except for facing external threats and setting up an alliance that can be united in a short period of time to fight against extraterrestrial civilizations, humans are fighting in other times.

The history of human development has also proved this point, and there will never be an end in internal struggle.

The possible number of deaths caused by diseases, natural disasters and other causes is far less than the number of human self-slaughter.

It can be said that the history of human civilization is a history of war, and fighting and killing have almost become a part of human life.

Even if the level of civilization is improved later, such things will inevitably be possible.

It's just that these things are more gentle and inconspicuous.

But behind it is still naked and bloody.

Zeng Yunfeng cannot blame such things because he also played an important role in it and he is also doing such things.

But Zeng Yunfeng kept wondering if there is a new road, even if this road is covered with thorns, can humans take another step forward?

Leaving this once-comfortable civilization and walking a unique and completely different path is like exploring a new world in the ocean, maintaining curiosity, and understanding the unknown areas of mankind.

But all of this is still in the distant future in Zeng Yunfeng's planning picture.

Zeng Yunfeng was not even sure whether the future of his kingdom could see this happen.

But Zeng Yunfeng always made a good start, and he did not discriminate against pirates.

Compared with those countries that are doing robbers in the cloak of civilization, pirates seem to be more open-minded in Zeng Yunfeng's eyes.

Killing is killing, and robbery is looting. It does not cover up its own stench with so many civilized and gorgeous appearances.

It is a naked ugly, nothing else. Therefore, although Zeng Yunfeng maintains a zero-tolerance attitude towards the crimes of the White Iron Kingdom, he tends to punish more than kill in terms of means of punishment, except in the early stage.

Only when people begin to respect the law can everyone do things under a system and order. Although it means to tie their hands and feet, it is not without benefits.

Pirates never follow the rules, even if there are, that's only occasionally.

The former Pirate Code was just a binding document and had no specific binding force.

This is also why Jack Sparrow's father, Tiger Sparrow, attaches great importance to the Pirate Code.

Only that part of the old guys are maintaining this thing, but if the Iron Kingdom wants to develop, it must use the law to limit themselves.

Zeng Yunfeng didn't want to see himself suddenly collapse one day while the White Iron Kingdom was rushing forward.

Although the development model that is too free can bring huge improvements to the Iron Kingdom in a short period of time, it also has huge hidden dangers. This is also the reason why Zeng Yunfeng had to formulate a code for the founding of the country.

What he feared the most was that he could not tie the hands and feet of these guys, but instead made them do whatever they wanted.

Zeng Yunfeng could even foresee such a future, the Iron Kingdom will be divided into countless small countries, fighting endlessly and war will never end.

This is completely contrary to his intention to establish this country in the beginning.

Spring goes and winter comes.

Time is much faster than people want, and many things in this world also change with the changes of time.

Gris Allen's work in St. Petersburg went smoothly, and he almost became a person whom ambassadors of various countries competed to make friends.
