After the Dragon Boat Fleet pacified the Kunlun Jade Court, various forces in the world reacted differently, but most people have realized that it is only a matter of time before the new Canglan Dynasty unifies the world.
Although the Qingluan Five Meridians in the north are strong, they do not have the momentum to dominate the world. Although the Youxin Kingdom is prosperous and slowly rising, it is still far away from the prosperous New Dynasty and it is difficult to defy and resist. The remaining things are just
It is just the two parties discussing and fighting for some future interests and rights during the negotiation.
In a small and remote courtyard on the mountainside of Yuzhang Mountain, Lorraine Hill was sitting on a chair under the eaves, watching the light snow gradually falling in the courtyard.
The snowflakes were not big and fell into small pieces on the grass blades, slowly melting. The hexagonal ice flakes and transparent water traces gently fell down, blended into the black soil below, and disappeared.
It's already winter.
Lorraine Hill opened his hand and looked at the few snowflakes that fell on the palm of his hand, which felt slightly cold and strange. It seemed that he hadn't seen snow in a few years.
Time flies so fast, everything seems to be on the fast lane. One year used to feel like a long time and I could do a lot of things, but now it just disappears in the blink of an eye.
Rachel, Feng Na, Melu, Letis, Aliena, Niya, these are the friends who were young in their youth when they first met each other. Now some of them have become mothers, are getting old slowly, and some are separated.
Gone are the joyful and flamboyant people in the past, they have become steady and less talkative, and some have gone from being young and ignorant to being decisive and tough.
Although my appearance has not changed, my state of mind seems to be a little different from the past. Things that I used to be worried and uneasy about are now slowly getting used to it. I used to not think too much about the future and just live a small life in front of me.
Okay, but now every time I make a decision, I will first consider the possible impact on the future.
People worship the strong. This is an instinctive habit. When you are a superior, even some unconscious preferences will slowly affect the people below. Such things happen in every place in life, so she
Now we have to pay attention to the impact of our actions on this country.
'Every big shot in so-and-so uses this, it must be good.' That's what that big shot does. 'Students admitted to such-and-such prestigious schools all have these hobbies.' This is how people in such-and-such developed countries live.
And look at it. "Celebrities all wear this style, this is high-end."
Not everyone can build an independent personality to avoid being affected by such and other concepts. When people are anxious about their identity, they will unconsciously imitate those people they think are powerful to appease their uneasy hearts and to be in the community.
Get recognized.
In her previous life, Lorraine Hill was sometimes very cynical and hated people who trafficked in anxiety or were self-righteous and narrow-minded. But now, after experiencing a lot, she has gradually become accustomed to such a world.
We need to accept the diversity of the world. Idiots and stupidities are also a type of diversity.
Twisting the hair in front of her, she remembered how she used to be so angry and frustrated by the information on the Internet. Unknowingly, the corners of the girl's mouth turned up slightly. She was really innocent at that time.
There are many flowers and plants in the garden, including her favorite flowers and annoying weeds. She will pull up the weeds and throw them away, and then concentrate on taking care of her favorite flowers, waiting for the day when they bloom.
The grass will curse in various ways, saying that she is unfair and does not consider herself, etc., but she will still throw it away and ignore it, because this is her own garden and the place where she lives.
The spiritual world is like this. You should pay attention to getting rid of things that make you irritable and uneasy, and maintain stability and peace, so that you can have the energy and mood to do many important things.
It is already very difficult to admit that human beings are small and imperfect, that it is difficult to accept and cope with such a complex and conflicting world, and to do a few important things well.
Even Lorraine Hill today thinks that there are imperfections in her character. For example, because she is too sensitive and sentimental, she is troubled and finds it difficult to be decisive and ruthless in doing something. But fortunately, she can learn the day after tomorrow.
And experience can slowly make up for these shortcomings. Although I hesitated and struggled for a while, I still made the right and difficult choice in the end.
Generally speaking, there are very few people with perfect personalities, but this does not mean that there is no cure. Cognition and experience can slowly soften some of the sharpness, or make some parts of the heart tougher, and gradually make up for those shortcomings. As long as you understand
Just come and overcome it slowly.
Lorraine Hill sat quietly under the eaves, watching the small snowflakes slowly swirling down from the sky, falling on the cold brown wooden floor, falling in front of his black and white skirt, falling on
This quiet winter.
After a long time, the sound of sparse fireworks blooming was heard in the distance.
I feel a little homesick.
…
…
Mountains in the north.
It's winter now, and there is heavy snow floating between the sky and the earth. The flying snowflakes even obscure the field of vision, making it difficult to see the scenery in the distance clearly. And in this heavy snow, a pleasant ringtone rang out, as if there were golden lines blowing through it.
The sky and mountains make people walking in the wind and snow feel a little warm, and the originally cold snow residue on their faces seems to have become distant.
Her vision followed the eagle as it flew across thousands of miles of fertile snowfields, ascending steep cliffs, until finally her field of vision suddenly widened, and a white jade statue taller than a giant mountain came into view. She closed her eyes and held her hands, six
The arms are raised or held, but they remain motionless in the endless wind and snow.
Along the ankles and knees of the statue, a long and endless procession snakes in the snow. People from all over the north trek here like pilgrims. They march against the wind and snow just to listen to this 'Lotte' Kinnarok.
ringtones and music.
In the white snow, surrounding this mountain-like statue of the god, thousands of people prostrated themselves on the ground in the snow, and then prayed, chanted, and spoke unknown songs.
On a hill near the statue, several practitioners in blue robes stood in the wind, watching the crowds of people in front of them.
"Although this Kinnaluo saved the disaster of Dragon Vein in the north, if it continues like this, I don't think it is a good thing."
"Yes, but it is not easy to force people to stop visiting and praying." As he said this, the disciple shook his head.
"Not long after the founding of the country, we relied on this statue to maintain the people of each state. If it were suddenly removed, I'm afraid it would cause a lot of turmoil."
Although these disciples who came to visit felt that something was not right, they could only let it go.
Thousands of miles away, in the Qinglian Xijian Palace, several representatives of the Qingluan Five Meridians also gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"Now that Jialan Phoenix has defeated Kunlun Jade Court, and most of the world has been brought under his command, how we get along with him in the future has become a big problem."
The people of Qingluan Five Meridians had long expected the rise of Loland Hill, but they did not expect that the situation would change so quickly. According to their previous predictions and estimates, the world should continue to have multiple countries standing side by side for about several decades in the future, until
There will be some turning point, and then it will move towards unity or continue to split.
The Kunlun Jade Court was defeated too quickly, or in other words, this 'Phoenix of Jialan' was too powerful. When he first appeared, he was not inferior to the power of the Five Phoenixes back then, which can be said to be a surprise to the world.
"It's too fast, it's too fast." Tie Lansheng, the leader of Green Pine and Peacock Mountain, sat on the chair and shook his head. The folding fan in his hand was also pressed against the armrest.
"Originally, I estimated that we were already fast enough. After all, we have been running the northern continents for many years, and they come from the same source. There will be minimal resistance to mutual cooperation, but this Miss Lorraine is far beyond expectations."
"Today's Qingling Peacock Kingdom's internal structure has not yet been completely stabilized. If it competes with the rising sun of the Canglan Dynasty, it may collapse at the first touch."
"I heard that not only have they trained their soldiers, but the dragon ship warships are also extremely powerful." When he said this, Tie Lansheng looked at Zhu Xuanyi across the hall, the newly succeeded head of Yanxingmen.
"Junior brother Lan Sheng, why do you need to look at me? This is just some exchanges between the direct descendants of the Five Phoenixes. It is true that our faction also played a role in the design and manufacture of the dragon ship battleship, but we did not expect them to be like this at the beginning.
For a big battle, I thought it was just a matter of preparing a few large floating boats for my faction." Zhu Xuanyi rarely explained, but with his proud temperament in the past, he would not explain it in such detail.
"We know that you Zhu Xuanyi suffered a big loss in Nanfengzhou and was humiliated by that Phoenix, so there is no need to explain further." The chief of Biluo Xiaoyao Palace on the side said with a smile.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Xuan Yi, when you fought against that Phoenix, how did you feel about the opponent's strength?" Sudenlou, who was sitting in the middle and at the top, interrupted the conversation and asked Zhu Xuan Yi.
"It's hard to describe. At the beginning, I thought he was a disciple with pretty good talent. I had a lot of fights with him, but after all, he was at a lower level and the power of his moves was limited."
"But the situation changed after that. Not only did she temporarily advance on the battlefield, she also used the art of dragon veins to continuously strengthen herself, and then I was defeated secretly."
"Before leaving, I also asked someone to find out why your majesty came to Nanfengzhou to help Tuoshitang. It turned out that she was helped by a Tuoshitang member when she was in a tight situation, and later she grew up and came back to look for her.
That benefactor also assisted Tuoshi Hall.
"In other words, you can't fight against an opponent who is in good condition?" Sudenlou asked again, with a lot of excitement and expectation in his eyes.
"Yes, even though she was only at the seventh level at that time, I couldn't resist her anymore." Zhu Xuanyi shook his head several times as he said that. It seemed that the battle had a big impact on him.
"Now that she has mastered the world's dragon veins, I think she will never be able to catch up again."
Hearing these words, Sudenlou burst out laughing, and then said serious things.
"I'll wait for the letter to be sent over and see how the other party is going to respond. Although this Phoenix is still unfamiliar to you, we may get along with each other for a long time in the future."
In this way, three days later, Lorraine Hill received an invitation from Qingluan Wumai in the north, inviting the Phoenix to visit the north.
Looking at the envoy in the hall, Lorraine Hill sat on the jade throne, thought for a moment, and then nodded slightly.
"You can go back and tell me that I will go to the north soon at the end of the year to discuss future matters with you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty Jialan." Then the envoy and the members behind him saluted respectfully and exited the hall step by step.
After retreating from the court, several pillar officials of the court visited Lorraine Hill, seeming to have some thoughts and suggestions on the decision the girl had just made.
"I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for Your Majesty to go to the north alone. It would be more appropriate to wait for a few days and wait for the dragon boat fleet to return before setting off together." As soon as he finished speaking, his companion beside him added.
"It's not that I'm worried about His Majesty's safety, but that some outsiders don't know His Majesty's virtues and are afraid of being offended by ignorant people..." he explained.
"I understand, but there is no need to worry about this." Lorraine Hill shook her head slightly, knowing that these people meant well, but now she really doesn't have to worry about issues such as strength.
After completely entering Sequence 9, Lorraine Hill has gained a better understanding of her own power and strength. Now, except for Wei Miya who can temporarily trap her, I am afraid that no one on this earth can trap her.
, even if the other party is a witch.
Seeing that Lorraine Hill had made up his mind, several people stopped trying to dissuade him and respectfully left the study room in the palace.
There were still a few snowflakes floating outside, but there was a little charcoal fire burning in the study room of Luojing Palace, which heated up the chairs and desks nearby, making them warm and comfortable.
Lorraine Hill was sitting at the table, processing documents that required her correction and decision-making. She would occasionally stop to drink some water, and then look at the quiet snow scene outside the window.
Within the broad palace walls, several chamberlains occasionally passed by. Sometimes they would stop, talk to each other in the snow, say hello and then leave. Such a scene looked a bit lively, even if it was just watching.
There is no sound in the picture, but it also makes the scenery in the snow more lively.
However, in the past, there would not have been such a scene in the palace.
The chamberlains and maids in the palace must strictly abide by the palace rules. Unless necessary, they must lower their heads when walking on the road, and cannot stop at will to whisper or make noises to each other.
Nowadays, these cold and rigid rules are gone, and the people working here are no longer the numerous servants and guards in the past, but most of them are employees within the dynasty, and most of them are subordinates to the officials of the four seasons.
After becoming the leader, Lorraine Hill did not continue the luxurious style of the former emperor, so many of the waiters in the palace who served and provided luxurious enjoyment were no longer useful, but were led to reshape and train them. Now
Many restaurants and shops were opened in Luojing.
In the past, only the royal family could enjoy delicious food or performances. Now ordinary people can experience it just by spending a little more money.
This not only saved the originally huge expenses in the palace, but also allowed these chamberlains to regain some ways to make a living without having to worry about being unable to live after leaving the palace.
Since there is no need for a huge harem, most of the palaces in Luojing have now been transformed into office spaces, which are also used to house many newly established departments, such as the new agency under Xia Guansi, Ying Electricity Supervision.
The main responsibility of this department is to inspect the country and build various power generation facilities to prepare for future industrialization.
Now, unlike Crancia who groped his way across the river in the past, Lorraine Hill has accumulated quite a lot of experience. The reform plan can be carried out in multiple steps at the same time, and there will be no rush. Only by catching up quickly in this way can Dongfang move as quickly as possible.
Catch up with the progress on the Western Continent, and then move forward together to meet the test of the future.
The technology and methods can be said to be ready-made and quite proficient, and the talent problem is also easy to solve. Thanks to the imperial examination system of the Eastern dynasties, the literacy rate and the number of intellectuals among the people are much higher than those in the Western Continent where the aristocracy once ruled. They may have previously
I have never been exposed to new knowledge, but there will not be much obstacles in learning.
Human knowledge has never been complicated until the industrialization period. Under the guidance of sufficient and complete knowledge, a normal person can become familiar with and proficient in a certain field within three years and become a practical expert in the industry.
When it comes to complexity and diversification, we have to enter the era of information explosion. Various parts are becoming more and more detailed and differentiated, and the complexity of the system has reached the point where programs can only be sorted out.
After processing and planning the documents on the desk, time slowly passed into the afternoon, and the snowy scene outside seemed to be a little darker. Lorraine Hill put down his pen, left the warm desk, came to the window, and touched the slightly with his fingers.
The cold glass was pushed open, and the fresh and cold air blew in, hitting the face in the velvet satin collar.
The snow gradually stopped, and occasionally water drops dripped from the eaves of the palace, forming long transparent strips.
The new year is coming soon, and a vague nostalgia arose in Lorraine Hill's heart. Recalling the lively festival deep in his memory, he seemed to see many familiar figures in the snowy scene again.
