Military expansion also has its limits. Countless countries have been destroyed because they reached the limit of military expansion, such as Rome, Qin, etc. Now the Fire Nation has reached the late stage of expansion. The one-hundred-year expansion journey has come to an end. It is difficult to
Find a combat target that can make expansion pay for itself.
The more they fight, the poorer they get, and the poorer they get, the more they fight, falling into a vicious cycle. Now the Fire Nation's only two goals are the North Pole and Eternal City. If the North Pole is not defeated, then the only way to capture Eternal City is.
And Eternal City can be said to be a piece of the Fire Nation's heart. They fought a few years ago, but were blocked by the walls of Eternal City. The Earth Powerful Nation did not fight the Fire Nation decisively and hid within the city wall. Even if Uncle Wang could punch him
A gap was created in the city wall, but the Fire Nation soldiers could not enter, and the war ended in failure. After that, the Fire Nation changed their methods, and they realized that the strong city wall could only be breached from the inside.
But now that a new king has ascended the throne within the Tuqiang country, its foothold is not yet stable, and internal interest groups are competing fiercely. Although the city wall can block the enemies outside, it cannot withstand the leading party inside. There is nothing to hesitate in betraying the Tuqiang country for profit. So Huo Lie
Everyone in the country knows that this is a good opportunity to conquer Yonggu City. As long as it succeeds, it will be famous in history.
At this time, the princess recommended one of her own to her father.
Everyone was shocked for a moment, because the princess didn't behave like a twelve-year-old child at all, but completely like a scheming old fox. To be honest, everyone thought that the princess would definitely fly into flames when she saw such a feat in Yonggu City.
How could you give it up to someone else if you pounce on it?
Even the Fire Lord was surprised, because he thought he knew his daughter, and she was a willful child who didn't think about others at all. Unexpectedly, the princess actually promoted talents, instead of eagerly taking the credit for herself.
own.
For a moment, the court was all surprised. They didn’t know what was going on with the princess. It seemed that the princess had grown up a lot and understood the right and wrong. She was no longer the person who wanted to take credit when she saw the merit, but had become a real manager.
By.
Of course, when the princess recommended others, she also asked Dulan: "What if the person I recommend has too much credit and wants to betray me?" This kind of thing is indeed possible, and this is the time when the person who has great achievements will shake the master.
thing. And once this person gets the opportunity to attack Yonggu City, there will definitely be many people who want to curry favor with him, including the princess's political opponents, who want a piece of the pie. Can the other party maintain their loyalty and stay in the 'Magician Supremacy'?
In the organization, it is still a problem.
Just like playing dungeons in game guilds, everyone gives the best equipment to a certain player, but the player takes the equipment and turns around and goes to other guilds. This kind of thing is not uncommon. Therefore, in order to retain the players who are concentrated on cultivating
, the trade union will establish a small group and build mutual trust in the small group.
Dulan told the princess to recommend people in the small group around him to ensure that the other party would not betray easily. Of course, this only reduces the risk, but does not mean there is no risk at all. Dulan told the princess: "So your highness must continue to develop and constantly improve
Tell your own story, expand your own interests, and make them unable to live without you."
The princess thought that this would be difficult. If it could really continue to develop, her father should be able to do it, and it would not be her turn to tell stories with her brother.
But there are always risks, and even if she meets someone who betrays her this time, there will be another time. As a princess, her story will not end with one failure. Even if she is betrayed, she still has a reputation of benevolence and righteousness.
The magician who has the opportunity to rise will also be willing to follow the princess. Although the traitor has gained the credit for the Eternal City, there will be many people who are jealous of him and attack him. Without the support of the "Magician Supreme", it is easy to
Just got killed.
Therefore, recommenders are at risk of being betrayed, and betrayers are also at risk of being killed, so they are all the same risks.
Princess Gu Jiuzhong finally accepted Dulan's suggestion and recommended the personnel.
Dulan had a feeling that this was like the Nine Dragons seizing the legitimate children during the Kangxi period. Unfortunately, the Fire King only had two children and did not give birth to nine. After Kangxi's son Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he also met the highly accomplished Nian Gengyao.
, also encountered a crisis of betrayal and a crisis of trust. In the end, Nian Gengyao died miserably.
History is always similar. Although the technologies developed are different, the development process is exactly the same, and the various things encountered are also very different. Some people always say that what we learn from history is that humans will never learn lessons.
In fact, it's not that humans don't learn lessons, but because of the reality of the objective environment, the parties involved have no better choice and can only go this way.
When an industry develops to a certain level, it can only move away from reality and into reality, and can only enter real estate and finance. It is not that they are stupid or greedy, but that the cost of maintaining the industry is getting higher and higher. If there is no breakthrough in productivity to reduce costs,
You can only make money from other places, otherwise there is no way to maintain it.
The reason for prosperity and decline is due to this principle. It is not that human beings have not learned lessons from history, but that anyone who encounters the same scene in history will make the same choice nine times out of ten, whether they are good people or evil people.
Whether you are a smart person or a stupid person, the result is the same.
Therefore, the current situation of the princess has a strong sense of déjà vu, and it feels like Kowloon seizing the legitimate son Yongzheng. In fact, it is because the environment of the princess and Yongzheng are similar, so there is a sense of déjà vu. It would be the same if the princess and Yongzheng were replaced by others.
almost.
Of course, if the princess didn't have Dulan's help, she would have gained credit for her achievements and successfully occupied Yonggu City. Although she succeeded in becoming the agent of the Fire Lord in the end, she was betrayed by everyone and ended up having to fight the enemy alone.
No one wants to help her.
And with Dulan, we can help the princess create an environment similar to that of Yongzheng, and have a foundation for success.
The Fire Nation finally agreed to the candidate recommended by the princess, but there was one thing that the princess needed to do, which was to recover the treasury funds. Many Fire Nation officials had borrowed money from the treasury, and now they hope that the princess can get it back.
Feeling more like Yongzheng, Dulan thought that the Fire Lord wanted to train a princess. Although debt collection was a thankless job, it was indeed a good opportunity to get to know state officials and the treasury. You can take the opportunity to take a look.
How much money is there in the treasury and what are the conditions of the officials?
Managing the Fire Nation is not just about fighting, it is a huge and complicated project. The princess must understand that even if they are officials in the same dynasty, officials are of all kinds, and these Fire Nation ministers are not dedicated to serving the country. Many of them are
If you want to get promoted and make a fortune, to manage such a large group of people, you need to not only take credit from them, but also be kind and powerful, and be able to control them.
The princess had the opportunity to understand the complex environment of the Fire Nation. It was really strange. These officials in the court looked serious, but secretly they were just trying to steal the Fire Nation's money. It would be harder than climbing to the sky to ask them to pay back the money.
And their reasons are all the same. To put it simply, they are very poor and can't pay back.
Yongzheng was helpless back then. Even if the princess could kill people, she couldn't make them submit. These guys didn't give them any face at all. But after understanding the ecology of the Fire Nation's court, the princess also realized that the Fire King was not that easy to be. In the past, she only knew
My father's words can make the world tremble. Now I understand the difficulty of being the master of the country. The Fire Nation is full of people asking for money. My father is not as prosperous as he seems on the surface. It can be said that he is struggling to support this country.
