Chapter 25 Flattery

In the eyes of the Draconians, everyone else who does not belong to the Draconians are ants. Even the ants are not worthy of breathing the courtesy of the same sky as the Draconians. The aloof Draconis (1) all carry things that can filter the air. They

You can kill the ants you don't like with just a few words.

Even if those so-called ants have clever minds that are not inferior to them, or have powerful abilities, or even the leader of a certain force such as the king, in the eyes of the Celestial Dragons, they are just their vassals.

If some ant who offends the so-called Celestial Dragons for some unknown reason, overestimates his own capabilities and thinks he has very good abilities and powerful power, and thinks he can fight against the Celestial Dragons, then he is doomed.

The Celestial Dragons can issue orders to have people go to heaven and earth to hunt down that ant, but what? The ant wants to ask for mercy? It wants to say that everyone is equal, so what? Anyway, the Celestial Dragons are not equal to the ants at all.

Although this so-called Celestial Dragon belongs to a setting in an anime work, it is undeniable that once the power is in the hands of a few people, there is no promotion channel, and the thoughts that imprison ordinary people are very likely to be released.

Celestial Dragon.

The hearts of those who hold great power will undergo rapid fission, and people born in such families are even more accustomed to privileges. Their desires will only become stronger and stronger. There are always a few people who become the top of the pyramid, and they are obsessed with it.

What I want to become is a being like a Celestial Dragon.

Whether the dynasties in feudal society are the largest rulers and emperors, or aristocratic families who want to keep their families alive for eternity, or officials from poor families who are shouting about overthrowing aristocratic families, those types of people will not give up their hands easily.

rights.

Because power is the most beautiful cosmetic in the world. With it, even if you are seventy or eighty years old, you will not be called old or ugly. There will only be many beauties falling in love with you and flocking to you.

Also because power is the best equipment in the world, even if a person with power walks out wearing a sack, he will be more eye-catching than someone wearing gold and silver.

It can be said that once you have the power, there will be countless flatterers around you. Every word you say will be echoed and praised loudly. It is strange that as time goes by, you will not feel happy.

How many people can stay awake in this situation? Maybe the short-term power has not made them dizzy, or they still remember their original intentions, but after a long time, power will become the most powerful poison, corroding those who hold power.

People's hearts are hopeless.

Ling Xiao has traveled through many worlds and met many, many people. Naturally, he understands the problem: many people lose their rights and forget that they are first and foremost a person, not an official. Unfortunately, this problem has always been

Not easy to solve.

There were also people who wanted to solve the problem. For example, the cowherd boy Zhu Chongba used Chongdian after establishing the Ming Dynasty to solve the kind of behavior that started to show off after becoming an official.

This is because he was one of the few rebels who came to the throne from a lower-class background. It was precisely because of his experience that he was extremely disgusted with the exploitation by officials, so the founding emperor was very harsh on his officials.

The official salaries he formulated are relatively low. Some people say that this policy is not very good because the officials' salaries cannot keep up with the situation of ordinary people. The amount of money is too small and they cannot support their families at all.

If you think about it, you will know that the policy of low official salaries is very bad. Those people worked hard to participate in the imperial examinations step by step. Many times they relied on their family's efforts to provide a scholar. However, when they became officials, they found that their salaries were extremely low.

Not only is there not enough reward, but it is also unable to support a small family. Who would be so stupid as to rush to become an official?

Most of the people who can pass the exam are people with good minds, so how can they not be able to settle the score? Will they be willing to suffer a loss? Even if they are willing to do so, will their family be happy? Naturally, they will soon have a solution: accept it.

bribe.

Therefore, even though Zhu Chongba hated corrupt officials very much, and all the corrupt officials he caught were tortured by being skinned, he still could not stop the corruption of officials. One of the reasons was that the salary was too low, which gave people an inexplicable feeling:

You want the horse to run, but you also want the horse not to eat grass.

This was completely counterproductive. The anti-corruption efforts gradually weakened among the emperors after Zhu Chongba, because they were the most noble members of the royal family since they were born, and even the clans that were raised like pigs belonged to the rich.

Zhu Chongba, who had eaten jade and white jade pearl soup, died long ago. His descendants have no experience of being unable to resist after being bullied, and they cannot resonate with their ancestors. Therefore, it is not important whether those ministers are corrupt or not. What is important is

He is loyal to the emperor.

emmmmm! Ling Xiao is also thinking about the city's planning. She doesn't expect it to rely solely on people's consciousness. Human nature is inherently changeable, and there are people who have the world, and it will become more troublesome.

Fortunately, she built the entire city, which meant that she had the greatest authority, so Ling Xiao established some positions after formulating the most basic framework.

Ling Xiao was ready to take a back seat after waiting for the selected people to start working. She didn't plan to take care of everything. The only requirement was that wood-type superpowers should never be placed at the bottom.

Of course, her request does not mean that other types of people with special abilities can be placed at the bottom. In her opinion, everyone should be relatively equal.

The reason why we say relative equality is because absolute equality is impossible. This is impossible. Ling Xiao does not want people to be divided into three, six or nine levels because of their abilities.

If this is done, there will be no change in the establishment of Tianxi City, and it will be no different from the previous federation. Of course, these are all things and principles that need to be explained to the successor.

It's just that she will definitely test the prospective successor carefully. This is for the future of Tianxicheng. For example, if Brother Xiao is really determined to be the first successor, she must carefully examine him.

Because he suffered too much pain before, there may be a dark part in his heart that has been accumulating in his heart. If Brother Xiao really cannot face the past with relief, she will not let him become the real successor.

Most of us are unhappy in life, and we often feel unfair. For example, if we take a bus, those migrant workers will be ostracized by others after boarding the bus. They are also passengers, and some people think they are superior to others.

It’s really funny! In fact, some people want to take revenge on society because they feel unfair, while others work hard to grow because of injustice. It all depends on personal choice.

What Ling Xiao admires is those people who have suffered all kinds of injustices, but don't think about revenge on society or innocent people. They just think about how to find a place for themselves to speak. This is the light of the right path.

Although she feels that it is troublesome to deal with the right and wrong in the city, and she wants to hand over the power of the city lord, she will never hand it over easily. This is an issue that should be paid special attention to: for the people who are willing to come to Tianxi City.

After some investigation some time ago, Ling Xiao announced some of the things he had found out in Tianxi City. At this time, people realized that the wood-type superpowers’ previous training methods were the most superficial ones, with poor results, and

There is a protective shield that will filter out wood-type abilities.

This also caused the wood-type superpowers in the federation to upgrade very slowly. This matter was quickly recognized by everyone, because the wood-type superpowers had difficulty upgrading one by one after leaving the federation. Of course, the upgrade speed was slow when they reached advanced levels.

Come down.

This news gave everyone a little more recognition of Tianxi City's credibility, and Ling Xiao then released the news, and everyone realized that there were also contributions from wood-type superpowers in federal cities.

Everyone was a little surprised when they first saw this news, because no one really knew about this. There was no such statement in the federal propaganda, so everyone was doubtful.

Ling Xiao posted some information, and everyone knew what was going on. Before, everyone knew that young wood-type supernatural beings often disappeared.

After watching the relevant videos, everyone knows that after being kidnapped, children will be put in electronic shackles and forced to watch the shackles explode, which makes the children very honest and do not dare to escape at all.

Everyone knows that most of those children are very good-looking children, and all of them have the potential to grow into beautiful women and handsome men. However, there are also some children who are not so good-looking and are normal people.

What do children do?

After seeing this expansion pack, many people were curious as to why they were also taken away. Later, the narration revealed that those children had very good cultivation talents.

People who saw this still didn't understand what it meant. Later, a new secretly filmed expansion pack arrived. It turns out that those children with good talents will be brainwashed after being taken away, leaving them with no resistance at all.

Their job is to enchant the city walls to prevent mutant plants from invading the city. Some children are also sent to be doctors.

Whether they are enchanters or doctors, they have not been taught how to attack, and they are not allowed to get married, because it is said that once a person gets married and has children, he will have more thoughts, so they are not allowed to get married.

After Ling Xiao learned about this rule, he didn't know what to say. This completely went against human nature and didn't give them a chance to choose. It was really too dark.

The encounters of these wood-type superpowers reminded her of a certain village in a certain country. There was a rule in that village: only the eldest son of the children of this family was considered a real human being. The children born later were not human beings, but belonged to the eldest son.

slave.

Those born later have also been brainwashed. They have never been able to study or read since they were young, and they have no chance to get married. In their daily lives, they just follow the orders of their masters and work.

They obviously have the closest bloodline to each other and are true relatives, but due to relevant regulations, they have become two classes: slave owners and slaves. As slaves, there is no luster in their eyes, only the so-called resignation.

This kind of regulation seems very strange to outsiders. How can it exist? This is completely against human nature, but it actually existed and lasted for a while before it was overturned.

And just look at the shadow of this regulation when it comes to the treatment of wood-type superpowers in this time and space. This really proves that many worlds are in a similar state. Even if it is against human nature, it still exists.

Someone once said: Since history is written by the victors, is it necessary to read history? Because if it is untrue, it will have no enlightening effect.

But someone has said that no matter how true or false the history books are, they can still record some things. Maybe someone in the future will discover the problem and learn something from it.

Ling Xiao felt that what she said made sense. When she heard the story about the eldest son using his subsequent siblings as slaves, she didn't believe it at all. How could this be possible?

After all, there is no such thing between brothers and sisters I met before. Even if the blood relatives are beaten out of their heads, they are basically not treated as slaves and are not allowed to have their own family.

Even if the aristocratic family of a certain universe country has that kind of habit: slaves still cannot change their status after giving birth to their master's children, and even their children are still slaves, but at least they can start a family.

And in that village, even the right to marry was directly deprived of. They were worse than slaves, and really no different from cows and horses. Ouch! They were even worse than cows and horses.

I didn't expect that we would still encounter this kind of situation across time and space. People with wood-type abilities are really treated as human beings. Those who are beautiful may be played with, and those who are not beautiful become tools, but they can really take advantage of people.

This matter gradually became known to the people who joined Tianxi City. After learning about the relevant situation, some yelled loudly, and some were incompatible with the Federation.

Some of them returned to the Federation to spend the last of their money, and the relevant news was spread to the Federation, causing more people to leave their original cities and come to Tianxi.

Because there were so many people coming, Tianxi City suddenly couldn't hold it. Fortunately, Ling Xiao had already discovered the problem, so he took his puppets to build another city hundreds of miles away, which was able to alleviate the influx of people.

crisis.

The federal cities are gradually lacking a lot of people, and seeing the whole city begin to become depressed, some people are ready to leave after seeing this trend.

Although their family does not have wood-type superpowers, who can guarantee that there will never be a wood-type superpower in the family in the future? If it was said that the beautiful wood-type superpowers were more dangerous in the past, but now they know that there are not even those with good talents.

Good ending.

What's even more frightening is that people in the Federation will not recognize the contribution of wood-type superpowers, and will suppress them everywhere. If they can leave but don't, something irreversible may happen, so more people choose to leave.

Even though they knew it was not good, they did not leave before. That was because they had no place to live outside the Federation and could not survive in the wild. Since a new city came out, they naturally had to change their lives elsewhere.

Who wants to be constantly on tenterhooks as their children grow up, afraid that something will happen to their children? Shouldn't they let their children go out? Keep them at home all the time?

According to previous experience, even if everyone wants to protect the children of their own wood-type people, sometimes they fail to do so. There have also been cases where the whole family died in order to protect the children.

After everyone knew that the children who were sold or kidnapped would not end well, they naturally wanted to leave. Those who wanted the children to be safe left. There were also people who could not leave themselves, but entrusted their children to others to take them away.
