In the Red River Civilization, five large spaceships broke away from the huge transport fleet and finally slowly landed at a port not open to the public on the third prince's fiefdom planet.
It wasn't until the spacecraft landed completely that Captain Wu Ma Chang finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally returned safely, and also brought back all the personnel of the Tianyuan Star Civilization and Dayang Group safely.
This time the task was very heavy. Because of the traitor, it was completely exposed that the third prince killed the prime minister's son. The direct result was that the balance was broken and the civil war broke out in the Red River Civilization.
After the initial contact, the royal family gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Fortunately, the royal family has more experts, and the disagreements between the prime minister, the nobles, and the two rebel groups in the military have given the royal family a chance to breathe. Everyone has temporarily formed a typical three-legged situation, but the royal family is ultimately weak.
.
Because of this, the Third Prince couldn't wait any longer and was worried that the Tianyuan Star Civilization would be exposed, so he sent a fleet to greet them in advance instead of waiting for the people from the Tianyuan Star Civilization to arrive and activate the signal before setting off as agreed.
And on the way back, we were also cautious, for fear of leaking our whereabouts or encountering obstacles. Therefore, we did not move forward at full speed on the way, but kept twisting and turning, and finally arrived safely at the third prince's fiefdom.
The moment he stepped off the spaceship, Wuma Chang, who had already reached the peak of his cultivation, felt a little weak and finally completed it.
The third prince had already arrived, and actually came to greet him in person.
After Wuma Chang paid homage to the third prince and introduced him to Gao Shang and others, he stood next to the third prince. Behind him, Gao Shang and a few people came slowly.
Looking at the third prince, Godard Shang began to evaluate. After waiting for almost thirty years and spanning more than 2,000 light-years, he finally met the target person, and this person would be able to dominate the life and death of the Tianyuan Star civilization. At this time, Godard Shang was still there.
I don’t know, but the current Tianyuan Star civilization has already let itself go on the path of magic reform.
But before Lord Gauda could speak, the third prince laughed and said, "Welcome all representatives. On behalf of the Red River Empire, I would like to thank you all for coming."
With that said, the third prince came to Gauda Shang and took the initiative to extend his hand and make a gesture of shaking hands.
Gautama hesitated for a moment, then a bright smile appeared on his face: "Hello, Your Highness, on behalf of the Tianyuan Star Civilization, I would like to send my sincere greetings. We have prepared a gift, and I hope Your Highness likes it.
The five spaceships we have come this time are gifts. The five spaceships are not exactly the same, they contain the highest technology of the Tianyuan Star civilization, and there are also related technologies in the spacecraft's computer."
Gao Shang's words well explained why we arrived so slowly. The smile on the third prince's face seemed to be natural.
"No, no, no, I think the greatest gift is our friendship." The third prince's handshake was very strong, not a competitive one, but a very sincere one. Apparently the third prince had carefully studied the etiquette of the Tianyuan Star civilization.
wait.
Letting go of his hand, the third prince personally invited Gautama and his entourage to board the shuttle ship and fly to the third prince's residence. Gautama and his group of tens of thousands of people were all picked up.
The third prince is sitting next to God Shang, but his status is slightly more prominent. He is the third prince of the Red River Civilization after all. It would be a problem if he were Corporal Tai Lixian. But the third prince speaks very skillfully. First he apologizes slightly, and finally says that the current situation is tense.
, it is not appropriate for Tianyuan Star civilization to be exposed for the time being, and everyone will have to suffer.
Godard Shan immediately said: We have signed an agreement, and this issue has been taken into consideration in the agreement. As long as there is no problem with the agreement itself, we will try our best to return the agreement.
Gautama's words made the third prince's eyes shrink a bit, but he soon started talking and laughing. Gautama also responded cautiously and enthusiastically.
Along the way, Gautama quickly analyzed the third prince's personality. Although they only interacted with him for a moment, Gautama already had a basic understanding of the third prince:
Another heroic figure!
As princes, these three princes should be pampered and pampered, but Gautama felt a faint iron-blooded aura in the third prince. The third prince hid it well, but Gautama looked at people not only for their aura, but also for a person.
temperament.
Breath can be sealed, hidden, confused, and replaced, but a person's temperament is difficult to change. Temperament is the external manifestation of character. This existence is the trace left after the character interacts with the outside world. It is more difficult to change than character.
As a high-ranking official of the Liang Dynasty (at the time of departure), Gaoshang had seen countless people. He saw the hidden aura of the third prince with just one glance. This was not a magic spell, but experience.
If a person has to do everything possible to hide his aura, act in a reasonable and measured manner, and be so polite to a 'primary civilization' like the Tianyuan Star civilization, then the character of the third prince will be revealed.
Coupled with the conversation along the way, Gautama has basically determined the character of the third prince.
As they talked all the way, the two of them became more and more speculative. The third prince also had real skills. He was talking about some of the development of the Red River Civilization, and Gaoshang was talking about the development of the Tianyuan Star Civilization, mainly the development after the emergence of the Dayang Group.
Condition.
"Using scientific methods to study cultivation techniques, through some sporadic and broken techniques, we actually developed the techniques to return to the true state!" The third prince listened thoughtfully, and at the same time he also had ideas about this science and technology.
The deeper expectations also unconsciously increased the value and status of Gao Shang and others in their hearts.
As for Gao Shang, he was deeply moved after listening to the third prince's personal explanation of the development history of the Red River Civilization. The historical events explained by the royal family are completely different from the history that ordinary people can see.
What ordinary people want to see are heroic stories and a glorious past. But what rulers such as the royal family and nobles see is the cruel competition for power, the conflict of governing ideas, and a nation and country’s endless pursuit of self-improvement.
explore.
Through the words of the third prince, Gundam Shang vaguely understood some experiences, which can be used for the development and reference of Tianyuan Star civilization, and even serve as lessons. For example, the noble class is really unreliable!
The third prince sighed with emotion: "The nobles at the time of the founding of the country were the representatives of glory. However, the nobles who were killed by the Gentlemen for five generations and have been passed down to this day have already become blood-sucking insects in the empire. No, they not only want to suck blood, but also knock out the bones and suck out the marrow!"
What is hateful is that because of the strong inertia of the aristocratic system, we know there is a problem but cannot find a solution."
After hearing this, Godard Shang thought of an opportunity! Before coming, Godard Shang had already made countless preparations, and the best way was to rely on his own wisdom to become the third prince's staff, think tank, etc.
As for whether being bound to the third prince would lead to destruction, Gundam thought for a moment and made a decision. Fortunately, now it seems that the third prince is also a person.
With this idea in mind, Godard Shang thought for a while and spoke cautiously: "Your Highness, regarding the aristocratic system, our Tianyuan Star civilization once adopted a small solution, which was proposed by the Dayang Group, and it was found in Tianyuan Star.
,fruitful."
"Oh?" The third prince raised his eyebrows.
But Gautama hesitated for a moment, but did not say anything. Instead, he said with a "worried" look on his face: "But... this method is not easy to master. I have presided over this method in our country, but encountered great resistance."
"Ha...it's okay. Please tell me sir. If it is useful, I will never treat you badly, nor will I treat Dayang Group badly." The third prince smiled. As the third prince, and he is now over a thousand years old, what kind of
I have never seen the method. This Gundam is obviously seeking favors based on his talent.
But for those who are capable, the Third Prince does not mind if the other party is a little arrogant. The most important thing is that if he can really learn something from it, it will be worth it. The aristocratic system is prevalent throughout the Zhoutian Galaxy and has been prevalent for tens of millions of years.
, the inertia of this system is really too great.
It's not that we don't understand the problems of the aristocratic system, but we can't find a better solution. The starry sky is vast, and this alone is destined to adopt the enfeoffment system, and aristocracy is inevitable.
But this Tianyuan star civilization is a little special, which gives the third prince a little hope. He does not expect that this small 'indigenous' planet can have any excellent solutions that can eliminate the shortcomings of the aristocratic system in one fell swoop.
It would be nice to have some reference.
With the guarantee from the third prince, Gautama began to speak slowly: "The biggest advantage of the current aristocratic system, and the most irreplaceable point, is that it is suitable for the interstellar environment. In the vast starry sky, every living planet is like a planet in the vast ocean.
It is a small isolated island. In this case, it is difficult to establish a complete political structure like on the ground.
But in our case, there is a way to replace the advantages of the nobility. That is, business groups!"
Upon hearing about the business group, the third prince frowned, "Businessmen are even less reliable. Nobles at least have a layer of honor, but businessmen are completely chasing profits! And with profits, businessmen will inevitably manipulate power."
"No, no, no!" Gautama's face became serious. "The nobles do not pursue absolute profits, but pursue absolute rights. This will inevitably lead to division. But if they are businessmen, they will pursue absolute interests, and they will not pursue rights.
Relatively small.
In fact, the fundamental purpose of the rights that merchants need and the rights that nobles need are completely different.
The nobles' pursuit of the power to rule will eventually conflict with the empire. The fundamental purpose of businessmen's pursuit of power is still the pursuit of higher interests. Maybe businessmen will cause some problems, but businessmen are actually easier to control and easier to satisfy.
Also, according to our experience, nobles are easy to unite, while businessmen are naturally competitive.
The united nobles will inevitably lead to problems in the political structure of the empire. Merchants may cause suffering among the people because of their pursuit of absolute interests, but it is difficult for businessmen to shake the political structure of the country. This is one of the advantages of businessmen. Of course, this kind of
The advantages are only for the empire and the royal family.
In addition, the aristocratic class is fixed, and it is extremely difficult to upgrade to the nobility. However, the merchant class is inherently free, and anyone can become a merchant. In this way, it will give the people at the bottom a path to rise, and it will also help the country screen talents.
We can restrict businessmen through profits, etc. Especially business has a huge shortcoming, that is communication! As long as the state can control communication channels, it can control businessmen.
Ocean Group has accomplished this.
What was mentioned above is what Dayang Group did back then. It was this method that Dayang Group used to assist the Kingdom of Qixia in completing the transformation of the national political structure.
It’s just that this method is easier said than done. I’ve tried it, but the resistance is a bit big.”
"Why does Dayang Group want to help Qixia Country?"
"Because the president of Dayang Group is a man, and the emperor of Qixia Country is the queen..." Someone showed a mysterious smile.
"Oh..." The third prince showed an understanding smile, but after thinking about it, he shook his head, "Control the communication channel? It's not possible at all. The universe is vast, how to control the communication channel?"
"This kind of communication channel refers specifically to the industrial and commercial links. No one group can independently support an industrial and commercial empire, because that is inconsistent with the interests!
An industrialized business group requires a large amount of technology and patents, talents, suppliers, distributors, financial channels, basic resources, social contacts, etc. These few points alone make it difficult for a group to complete everything. A business group must
Foreign exchange!
Take the manufacture of a warship as an example. It involves tens of thousands of technologies, business groups, channels, etc. After some companies obtain qualifications, they will continue to subcontract out, there will be one package, two packages, etc. In our case,
There have even been cases of six packs and seven packs.
This so-called control of communication channels is to control this. As long as a complete industrial supply chain system is formed within the empire, then this system will naturally tie everyone firmly to the empire's chariot.
Of course, this alone is not enough to achieve perfection. To supplement, there is also a parliamentary system, a representative system..."
Godard Shang slowly explained the political structure of Dayang Group, Qixia Kingdom, and even the current Tianyuan Star civilization (30 years ago), but the third prince gradually became fascinated and his eyes gradually brightened.
The fleet has arrived at the third prince's residence, but the third prince still did not go down. Instead, he continued to discuss the details with Gautama. He just asked the people around him to arrange the residence of the Tianyuan Star people first.
This conversation lasted until the next day. Finally, the third prince and Godard came face to face and began to quarrel fiercely. The two began to discuss one small detail after another.
Until noon of the next day local time, the third prince laughed loudly, walked off the spaceship side by side with Gautama, and then announced that Gautama would become his special advisor. However, this matter cannot be made public, as long as it is known internally. For the time being, Tianyuan Star
matters must still be kept confidential.
As a special adviser, in addition to being responsible for the communication between Tianyuan Star and the Third Prince, Gaota Shang also participates in the construction of the Third Prince's political structure.
After finally arriving at his residence, Gautama showed a relieved smile on his face: "With this negotiation, the Third Prince will definitely pay more attention to us. And the Red River Civilization, which has already fallen into internal strife, can't take care of us for the time being. Finally,
Gained valuable breathing space.
Maybe we need to find an opportunity to send a message to the rear."
