After the players woke up from reality, they immediately started discussing the dungeon "It's time to talk."

"After entering the dungeon of Qi Dynasty, I feel that the game has changed a bit."

"Yeah, basically there is no way to copy the answers like the copy of Dasheng Dynasty. Either you have to study it yourself like solving historical puzzles such as Yu Jiaxuan's Fifty Cavalry Robbery Camp and Wang Wenchuan's Reform, or you have to do it in a completely stitched and confusing environment. Break the game."

"Zhao Binfu, such an awesome character, just didn't show up. I'm so speechless."

"Yes, according to the setting of the game, it should be because the power of demons is getting stronger and stronger, so these historical slices are becoming more and more distorted, right?"

"But I think this is very good. The playability and interest are increased. If players can only copy the operations of the ancients under the historical framework, it will be quite boring."

"But it's a bit weak in showing real history, right?"

"No, after all, the history will be corrected every time you clear the level. Then you will be able to see the true historical direction."

"I think this experience of historical slicing is one of suppressing first and then promoting, right? First, I took on the role of Yu Jiaxuan and Wang Wenchuan, and found that the dilemma of the reform could not be solved no matter what. Later, through group travel, I not only completed Wang Wenchuan's ambition of reform, I also got a flintlock gun by the way."

"I really can't wait to watch the video."

"I wonder who the next two copies will be? My last one should be General Han Fuyue, right?"

"No, according to the setting of the game "Dark Sand", the one who can become the core of a dynasty must be an emperor. Although General Han is powerful, he can only occupy a very large historical slice at most."

For players, although the game content at this stage is not particularly perfect, it is already very interesting.

The reason why it's not perfect is because the players suffered a lot in the early stage of playing Wang Wenchuan, and the officials below were constantly subverting and being unable to find a breakthrough point. Everyone was so angry that they were dizzy.

But then, one hundred players entered the final trial and worked together to solve the dilemma of this historical slice. The whole challenge ran in a strange direction.

It's just that when Xing Tian came to the end, I had hoped to kill him, but he was rescued by the arrival of another monster in the CG of the cutscene, which also made the players a little unhappy.

It feels like a routine in the Internet that forcibly saves the villain's life and reuses it in subsequent plots.

But no matter what, this copy is considered a perfect pass.

Players can't wait to see the new version update announcement of "Dark Sand", as well as the new film and television works brought by this copy of "Stop Talking".



"New version update announcement of "Dark Sand":

"After the players worked together to complete Wang Wenchuan's reform and completely defeated Xing Tian's clone on the Niuzhuji battlefield, the historical slice of 'Let's stop talking' has been successfully conquered. The scope of the Fortress of the Orderer has been further expanded, and the options are available The city construction plan and the list of weapons purchased by players have been updated, and the various abilities of the Orderers have also been upgraded accordingly.

""Dark Sand" will enter a new version preparation state for seven days:

"1. The cut-and-length video of "The Game" will be released in the form of 10 short episodes on major TV stations and online video platforms, and the income will still be returned to players.

"This episode will take 'exploring the unknown possibilities of history' as the main line, and will add the most suitable player clearance videos as supplementary materials, so stay tuned!

“2. In the land-conferencing gameplay, the scope of the Fortress of the Orderer and the player’s fiefdom will be further expanded, and the area of ​​water around the Fortress of the Orderer will be further increased.

“Some new craftsmen and shops will appear in the Orderer’s forts and fiefs, unlocking more resource points.

"Players can use construction points in the Orderer's fortress to purchase large ordnance such as loach boats, trebuchets, and artillery. They can also purchase all equipment including flintlocks, divine arm bows, infantry armor, bed crossbows, etc. ordnance.

"3. The heroic spirit summoning function has been upgraded.

"Heroic spirits that can currently be summoned are: General Deng Yuanjing and Prime Minister Wang Wenchuan (the Fortress of the Orderer can be summoned if it is not in a war state).

“4. Issuance of qualifications for internal testing.

“At this stage, an additional 50,000 internal beta qualifications will be issued, bringing the total number of internal beta players to 150,000.

“New internal beta quotas will be selected according to the original mechanism.

"Special note: Depending on the historical slices, the number of players that can be accommodated in the Orderer Expedition gameplay is also different. In some special cases, screening may be required to enter the Orderer Expedition. Players are asked to work bravely in their own advantageous projects. Be first.

"Seven days later, the game will open a new version of 'Cleaning Up the Old Mountains and Rivers', and the specific update content is as follows.

“1. A batch of new talents and skills have been unlocked in the Orderer’s talent and skill library.

"2. Unlock the new copy 'Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moon'.

“Because with the help of the demon Fei Lian, the clone of the great demon Xingtian escaped and the two historical slices were merged, the difficulty of the current copy will be fully increased.

“After clearing the current historical slice, the historical slice of the entire Qi Dynasty will be opened directly.

"In order to balance the difficulty of the game, the 'Summoning of Heroic Spirits' function will also be opened to players during the dungeon strategy process. The rules are as follows.

“Players can summon any heroes they have cooperated with from past historical slices, but only one heroic spirit can be summoned per attempt.

“This heroic spirit cannot appear in the dungeon in physical form, but can only appear in the player’s conscious world.

“Players can choose to seek advice from the heroic spirit, or they can choose to directly entrust a historical figure to the heroic spirit.

"Players can explore the specific gameplay by themselves."



This new version update announcement still contains a lot of content, and players began to interpret it immediately.

"Huh? This time it's not a movie, it's a short series?"

"Wouldn't it mean that we have more time? It's still only one yuan to watch on demand, and there will be no increase in price if you increase the quantity."

"There are ten episodes, what content will be shown this time? There should be a flintlock gun for players to go to the historical slices to make trouble and study, right? There should be one for the Battle of Niuzhuji, right? I just don't know what other attempts by Wang Wenchuan to reform can be shown How many."

"The area of ​​water around the Fortress of the Orderer has been expanded? And you can also buy a loach boat? Doesn't that mean that players can now form a navy of their own?"

"Sailing out to sea is a man's romance!"

"This historical slicing has made a lot of money. Look at the new equipment unlocked, such as flintlock guns, divine arm bows, infantry armor, and bed crossbows...it's exciting!"

"The heroic spirit of 'Prime Minister Wang Wenchuan' has been updated this time? But compared to General Deng, the Prime Minister shouldn't be able to play a big role on the battlefield, right?"

"The Prime Minister must have helped during the city construction process! Players are worried that there are no NPCs to help manage the Orderer's fortress. With the Prime Minister's civil and administrative abilities, isn't it easy to manage a city?"

"There are more and more test players, totaling 150,000."

"Yes, you have to keep working hard, otherwise you may not be able to participate in the Orderer Expedition gameplay in the future."

"What's going on with the new dungeon? Why are the two historical slices fused together? And there's also a way to summon heroic spirits in a simulated trial?"

The content of this update is even more exciting than the last time.

Because there are a lot of extraordinary updates!

The players' guess is correct. Everything the players create in the historical slices can appear in the list of weapons in the Fortress of the Orderer.

The selling price of these ordnance depends on the cost required by players to fiddle with them in the historical slice.

Loach boats, divine arm bows, infantry armor, flintlock guns...these big weapons can be used in the Fortress of the Orderer, which obviously gives players more ways to play.

What's more, there are many large-scale equipment that have been updated accordingly.

Players can re-plan the defense of the Orderer's fortress and fill the walls with various artillery pieces.

What players have discussed the most is this new copy.

According to the official explanation, since the two great demons Xing Tian and Fei Lian have stitched together the two largest and most core historical slices of the future, players must conquer them.

Of course, considering the increased difficulty, players can also summon heroic spirits to help during the victory. Moreover, the reward after conquering it is equivalent to the reward for conquering two historical slices, which can directly open up the main line of the entire Qi Dynasty.

It can be seen from the name of the version and the copy that one of the main figures in this historical slice must be General Han Fuyue, and there is also another important figure who should be a certain emperor of the Qi Dynasty.

Of course, players thought this was a new trick created by the official game "Dark Sand" and a new gameplay prepared for them. But in fact, Meng Yuan was completely passive during the whole process...

He just updates the game content in real time according to the changes in the monsters.

Soon, the episode "I Can't Stop Talking" was launched online. After discussing the content of the new version, the players couldn't wait to open the episode to check it out.

In addition to being screened on major TV stations, this series of episodes is also available online for 1 yuan on demand, so there is no increase in price for additional volume.



In a rental house outside Tiandu University.

Chu Ge and Li Hongyun each lay down comfortably on the single sofa, opened a can of Feizhai Happy Water, and waited for the episode to start playing on the big TV.

Since the game "Dark Sand" brought them considerable income, their economic level has long been beyond that of ordinary students.

Therefore, there was a slight expansion, which improved my material conditions.

So the two rented a spacious house near the school and built a big TV.

This is much larger than the laptop screen in the dormitory.

"This episode is said to have the theme of 'exploring the unknown possibilities of history'. I wonder how it will be presented?"

"It shouldn't show all the details of Wang Wenchuan's reform like a documentary. There may be other ways of showing it."

"Will it be unfolded in the form of dialogue like the movie about Sheng Taizu?"

"Also a possibility."

Both of them have guesses about the content of this episode, but no one is sure.

At the same time, they also hope that their performance can be more photogenic and have a few more scenes in the series.

With a relaxed, comfortable and expectant mood, the two of them looked at the opening scene on the TV screen.



The top of a mountain.

The mountain breeze is blowing slowly, white clouds are lingering, and when you look down from the top of the mountain, you can see a beautiful river and mountain.

There are clouds growing in the chest, and birds returning to the canthus.

At this time, there was an old man and a young man on the top of the mountain.

The old man pointed to the beautiful mountains and rivers below: "This place has been my hometown in China since ancient times.

"The Jin people devoured my rivers and mountains and massacred my people, Jiaxuan, you must remember it firmly. When you grow up, you must find ways to raise righteous soldiers, return to the south to the Qi Dynasty, and then raise troops to go north to restore our Chinese rivers and mountains!"

The young man looked at the beautiful rivers and mountains below and nodded.

Then, the camera turned.

Still the top of the mountain.

A slovenly middle-aged scholar was looking at such a grand scene and chanted in a low voice: "I am not afraid of the floating clouds covering my eyes, just because I am at the top.

"To make a living for everyone in the world, it's time for me to enter the capital..."

In his words, there was quite an aura of "Who else would it be if you gave me up?"

Immediately afterwards, several shots appeared alternately.

The commander's seal in charge of Yu Jiaxuan was stolen. He chased for several days and nights, killed the monk Yunfeng and regained the commander's seal.

Wang Wenchuan came to the capital and met Zhang Renxia by chance during his lectures. He went to Emperor Shu and began to plan his own reform plan.

Yu Jiaxuan returned to the camp and found that the commander-in-chief had been killed. He summoned fifty horsemen to rob the camp and captured the traitor Ma Anbang.

Wang Wenchuan used the Ayun case to debate in the court hall with Wen Junshi, an important official of the old party, and made impassioned speeches.

Scenes are spliced ​​together using a montage technique to form the content of the first and second episodes.

The story lines of the two people proceed alternately, but their life trajectories are surprisingly similar.

The two people in the first episode were both high-spirited and scolding Fang Qiu.

Yu Jiaxuan's fifty cavalry robbed the camp and brought tens of thousands of people to the Qi Dynasty, which made "the Holy Emperor sigh three times a day". He also added tens of thousands of volumes of military policies. It seems that soon he will rectify the military affairs with the support of the emperor and go north. Cut down the gold and regain the lost territory.

Wang Wenchuan was worshiped as Prime Minister. With the strong support of the young emperor, he chanted the slogan "Three Insufficiencies" and began to reform.

But in the second episode, the plot began to take a turn for the worse.

Throughout his life, Yu Jiaxuan worked as a firefighter, traveling around to suppress bandits. Even after he became the Flying Tiger Army, he could not personally command any day, let alone achieve his goal of going north to collect gold and regain lost territory.

Finally, he woke up from his sleep, shouted "Kill the thief", and passed away with regret.

With the advent of a severe drought, Wang Wenchuan was deposed as prime minister. Although he came back to power later, neither he nor the emperor obviously had the original lofty sentiments. In the end, with the death of the emperor, the people and the government ceased.

All the achievements of the reform were completely wiped out by Wenjun. Wang Wenchuan also murmured on the sickbed, "That's it.", all thoughts were lost.

At this time, all the audience understood the meaning of "stop talking".

How annoying!

The blood pressure was elevated at that time.

Although most people know the two figures Yu Jiaxuan and Wang Wenchuan thanks to compulsory education, seeing their lives unfolding in such detail now makes them feel depressed.

It was only at the end of the second episode that the plot of the entire series took another turn.

A young man's figure appeared in front of Wang Wenchuan's bed.

"Jing Gong, the reform has not been completed, but you are unwilling to do so?"

Wang Wenchuan looked at the young man in front of him with doubts on his face.

"Who are you?"

The young man bowed deeply and said, "Junior Meng Yuan comes from a thousand years later and is here to visit Duke Jing."

Wang Wenchuan was on the hospital bed, and there seemed to be a light of surprise in his eyes, but soon, the light dimmed again.

"A thousand years later...

"I think by that time, I would have been notorious for thousands of years.

"The new law harms the country and harms the people. From the common people in the countryside to the sergeants and officials in the court, everyone denounces me as a traitor who harms the country and harms the people. I wonder if anyone will know me in a thousand years?"

Meng Yuan said seriously: "Jing Gong, would you like to know what the world will think of you a thousand years from now?

"Would you like to see other possibilities for reform?"

Wang Wenchuan looked at the young man in front of him, thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Yes!"

Meng Yuan nodded: "Then please, senior, come with me."

In fact, before Wang Wenchuan died, he had clearly realized that he would be infamy in future generations.

When he was out of office, he lived in his hometown. During his travels, he saw countless people hating and scorning the new law. He inevitably had deep doubts about the cause he had worked for all his life.

Originally, achievements such as the treasury being filled and the border opening of Xihe River could give him psychological support. However, as Wenjunshi came to power, the new law was abolished and the four military camps on Xihe Road were also returned to the enemy. Wang Wenchuan I have been hit hard, even discouraged.

But deep down in his heart, of course, there is still a strong obsession, hoping that he can be recognized.

At this time, this young man from a thousand years later suddenly appeared and wanted to take him to see other possibilities for reform.

Wang Wenchuan naturally didn't think too much, and immediately followed Meng Yuan's pace, stepping into the long river of history to see another possibility.



At this time, the audience was also discussing the plot of the series in real time.

"So, the first two episodes are about the original real historical line?"

"It should be. It can be seen from some details that these are the real Yu Jiaxuan and Wang Wenchuan in history."

"But the more real it is, the easier it is to make people have high blood pressure..."

"It's really frustrating, especially after I personally went through it and experienced the situation of these two people, I felt even more frustrated."

"But what about the next eight episodes?"

"Meng Yuan is out again! It looks like it will show something different like the last conversation with Taizu Sheng!"

"Can Wang Wenchuan be allowed to see the cool actions of the players after they passed the group message?"

Players are speculating on the possible future progress of this series and can't help but look forward to it.



"Jing Gong, please look, this is the first of the other three possibilities that this junior shows you."

As Meng Yuan cleared the fog of history for Wang Wenchuan, a brand new world appeared in front of him.

This is still the Qi Dynasty, and it is still the political hall where Wang Wenchuan was reforming. However, the person sitting in the political hall at this time is not the historical Wang Wenchuan, but Chu Ge who dresses up like Wang Wenchuan.

This is Chu Ge’s clearance video at that time!

Wang Wenchuan was a little confused: "This is..."

Meng Yuan explained: "Jing Gong, in fact, many people have discussed your new law in later generations.

"And in the process of debating 'how to make the new law successful,' these people also conducted several different deductions.

"What you are seeing now is a deduction performed by one of the descendants, assuming your identity.

"Please look."

Wang Wenchuan suddenly realized and watched seriously with Meng Yuan.

At this time, the camera in the episode also turned towards Chu Ge, using his character Wang Wenchuan as the main perspective to introduce the entire reform situation.

After taking over Wang Wenchuan's identity, Chu Ge's first thing was to go to the palace to meet the emperor and hand over the newly drafted official system law in order to gain greater support from the emperor at the cost of transferring the power of the prime minister.

Then, borrowing Wen Junshi's phrase "sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats", he issued a heart-breaking speech to all the old parties.

Immediately afterwards, there was cruel party struggle and suppression of dissidents...

Chu Ge's solution has actually spread among players.

Because until now, this is still the best solution to Wang Wenchuan's line.

Following the original route of Wang Wenchuan's reform was not enough to clear the dungeon "Let's Stop Talking", and a series of efforts on Yu Jiaxuan's side were required.

But if Chu Ge's line of power is used, he can use enough military resources to win the battle of Niuzhuji without deliberately spending a lot of time on attacking Yu Jiaxuan's line.

Take the initiative to strengthen the emperor's centralization of power with phases, and in the process of the emperor's centralization of power, use the power to point the finger at the officials of the old party, and use this to continuously eliminate dissidents, stabilize their status, and implement new laws...

Chu Ge’s solution also lasted two episodes.

The events in these two episodes lasted for five years. The first five years were mainly to seize power, while the next five years were to consolidate the position, suppress the counterattack of the old party, block the emperor's eyes and ears, and finally use powerful force to Means to implement the new law.

Although players already know this route, many viewers who see this solution for the first time are still amazed.

Especially in the series, the game "Ansha" automatically shows all the details of the reform process, showing it from many different perspectives such as old party officials, military figures, emperors, and ordinary people. The details are more detailed and also more convincing.

At the end of the episode, Meng Yuan looked at Wang Wenchuan: "Jing Gong, what do you think of this possibility?"

Wang Wenchuan's expression froze slightly. Obviously, Chu Ge's solution also surprised him.

However, this solution was still carried out under the historical conditions of the time, so it was not difficult to understand for Wang Wenchuan, who was able to achieve the position of ruler.

After a moment, he gave his thoughts.

“This man’s magic is indeed rare.

"To benefit the king, to cut off his ministers with the emperor's orders, and finally to carry out reforms through treacherous tactics, it is true that he can play with the world in the palm of his hand and get what he wants. It is natural to force the new law.

“There is no worry about relinquishing the prime minister, and there is no constraint. The power of the prime minister can be achieved once and for all.

"It's just... once you embark on this road, you can never look back. Whoever started it has no consequences?

"This move may not only leave a legacy of infamy for a long time, but may also cause instability in the country, party disputes, and the monarch's uncontrollable will."

Although the "behind the scenes" of this method are not intuitively shown in the series, both Wang Wenchuan and the smart players can basically guess it.

The road to power is equivalent to opening Pandora's box.

In the short term, it is true that new laws can be imposed, but what happens after the emperor dies?

Chu Ge's approach is to be worthy of the name of power. What he pursues is to eclipse the emperor and become an uncrowned king as a civil servant.

Only by exercising imperial power as prime minister can the reform be successful.

In this process, it is absolutely impossible to use fair and just means, and we must use all possible means.

Using the Wude Division to dig up dirt, fight between parties, deceive the emperor and flatter the emperor, etc., none of them can be missing.

After finally becoming a powerful prime minister, if you use your power for personal gain and take bribes to make money, you will be infamy for the ages, and you will be ranked with Yan Maoqing, Wang Chong and other great traitors throughout the ages;

And if you implement reforms and really extend the life of the dynasty and benefit the people of Li, then maybe your reputation in history will be slightly better, but it won't be much better.

After all, those suppressed literati and officials will spare no effort to smear the historical data.

In the long run, although Chu Ge's solution can implement the new law more smoothly in the short term, it will cause more problems in the long run.

The autocracy of imperial power is almost irreversible. If the imperial power is actively strengthened in order to implement reforms, once the imperial power raises the butcher's knife towards one day, it will be difficult to resist.

So, in the end, there are nothing more than three endings.

Now when the emperor was alive, he realized that something was wrong and used cruel methods to liquidate the powerful ministers.

Now after the emperor died, the new emperor who succeeded him found that something was wrong and used cruel methods to liquidate the powerful ministers.

The old emperor died, and the new emperor succeeded to the throne, but failed to take any action for the time being. After the death of the Prime Minister, he would use more cruel methods to liquidate the descendants of the Prime Minister and all his party members.

From a longer-term perspective, using such means to gain power will have a very negative impact on the mood of the ruling party.

Other officials will surely follow suit and begin to use flattery, party fighting, and digging up dirt as the main means to suppress dissidents in a cruel way and strive for the top.

The emperor, on the other hand, is more suspicious of the officials and may constantly weigh restrictions to ensure the stability and concentration of imperial power.

Even if such extreme means are used to promote the new law as much as possible while Wang Wenchuan is in office, the results of the new law will probably not be very good.

The national treasury will definitely be filled, and foreign wars will improve, but people's lives may not necessarily get better.

Most likely, they will still be stigmatized among the people for thousands of years.

In this process, if there is a powerful prime minister or emperor who is really talented, then he can continue the life of the dynasty; if not, the entire dynasty will collapse at a faster speed.

Because of Hunjun's messing around, naturally no one can restrain him.

Although Wang Wenchuan never considered the line of power at the beginning, he frequently clashed with old party officials during the reform process, and he definitely had a lot of experience in political struggle.

However, Wang Wenchuan still worked hard to maintain the bottom line of party struggle. Although he ostensibly expelled all the old parties from the court, at least there was still room for it.

He did not let things go and flatter the emperor, but always insisted on his own opinions, which even caused the emperor's dissatisfaction.

Judging from the results, the new law he implemented was not successful, but at least he achieved a happy death. The fierce partisanship between the old and the new parties only began after his death.

While he stubbornly insisted on the bottom line, he tried as much as possible, although this attempt ultimately ended in failure.

Therefore, even though Wang Wenchuan saw Chu Ge's line at this time and knew that this power line could push the reform deeper, he only expressed emotion and appreciation, and did not show too many emotions of sudden enlightenment.

This is a solution, but it obviously does not fit Wang Wenchuan's character.

Meng Yuan seemed to have expected this. With a wave of his hands, mist filled his eyes and he was transported to another time and space.

"Look again, Mr. Jing, this is the second of the three other possibilities that this junior will show you."

Coming to the fifth episode, Meng Yuan showed another possibility for Wang Wenchuan.

Wang Wenchuan cheered up again, obviously he also wanted to know what kind of other solution this was.

As for the audience in front of the screen, they were looking forward to it but also had some doubts.

Are there three other possibilities?

Judging from the previous clearances of players, Chu Ge's method is already recognized as the best solution in single-player mode. Regardless of the outcome of the power route, at least the process is more pleasant.

I originally thought that Meng Yuan would show the solution to the Prime Minister route at the end, but he didn't expect that he would show it out first.

Even if the last possibility is group wear by players, what is the second possibility?

Everyone continued to watch the fifth episode carefully.



After the fog dissipated, Wang Wenchuan was stunned, and the audience in front of the screen were also stunned.

Because...the sight in front of me was completely unfamiliar.

Between the skyscrapers, there is a constant flow of old-fashioned cars. The dense crowd wore modern Western-style clothing and were walking in a hurry. Everyone's face was filled with happiness and confidence.

Wang Wenchuan was a little surprised: "This is..."

Meng Yuan explained: "Jing Gong, this is a foreign country more than nine hundred years later."

Wang Wenchuan looked a little dazed: "More than nine hundred years later... has it become so prosperous?"

In the picture in front of him, there were too many elements that he didn't recognize, whether it was a speeding car or a skyscraper, they all made him feel incredible.

But no matter how times change, people never change much.

What surprised Wang Wenchuan even more was that in the metropolis in front of him, although the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, their overflowing happiness and confidence made people sincerely feel that their mental outlook was different from that of hundreds of years ago. The ancients were completely different.

This scene is even close to the Yao and Shun period that Wang Wenchuan once imagined in his mind.

In ancient times, all literati must refer to Yao and Shun, because Yao and Shun were already something similar to political correctness in the minds of ancient scholars.

In fact, from the perspective of modern people, no matter how much the Yao and Shun period is overrated, it is nothing more than a primitive society. With extremely low productivity, it is absolutely impossible to have a peaceful and prosperous age where everyone is happy.

Therefore, modern people never envy the ancients.

However, when Wang Wenchuan's reform was carried out, he had to use the excuse of imitating Yao and Shun to implement it. I have to say that this can be regarded as a very sad thing.

For the audience in front of the screen, this scene is quite familiar.

"Hey, isn't this what it was like at the beginning of the twentieth century?"

"Why do you want to show this to Wang Wenchuan?"

Many players are a little confused.

Although Meng Yuan had shown Sheng Taizu the living conditions of modern people before, it was after all what Sheng Taizu had requested.

Now, Meng Yuan was clearly showing Wang Wenchuan another possibility of reform, so why did he turn the camera to a foreign country in the early 20th century?

Wang Wenchuan asked doubtfully: "What does this have to do with the new law?"

In his opinion, the days in this foreign country were far better than those of the Qi Dynasty, and even surpassed the imaginary Yao and Shun periods. If this is the case, what does it have to do with the reforms he advocated for back then?

After all, he made the reform at that time because he saw that the Qi Dynasty had serious problems with three redundancies, was poor and weak, had internal and external troubles, and had reached a point where it would lead to chronic death if the law was not changed.

And what does the happy scene in front of us have to do with the reform?

Meng Yuan did not answer directly, but waved his hand to speed up the flow of time in the huge city in front of him: "Jinggong, please wait and see."

The sky is full of wind and clouds, and the underground vehicles are constantly shuttling. This huge city is constantly alternating between night and day. The day is in full swing, and the night is brightly lit.

But one day, this prosperous scene suddenly disappeared forever.

People's faces are no longer filled with confidence and smiles, but are filled with sorrow, and their eyes seem to have completely lost their luster.

Immediately afterwards, this emotion quickly spread throughout the city like a contagion.

The construction site that was originally under construction has stalled. People who were walking through various buildings with smiles on their faces were walking blankly on the street. They were either carrying job hunting signs on their backs or holding job hunting signs in their hands, or were looking for jobs. There was a long queue in front of the relief station.

The camera gradually zooms in, following a man in shabby clothes and without energy walking forward.

He carried a sign on his back with a few lines written in an exotic script.

Wang Wenchuan couldn't help but ask: "What does this mean?"

Meng Yuan translated: "What it says is: I know three crafts, can speak three languages, have struggled for three years, have three children, have been unemployed for three months, and I only want one job."

Wang Wenchuan had a look of inexplicable surprise on his face: "How could this be so?"

Obviously, he couldn't understand what was going on.

From the perspective of the ancients, if a person has three crafts and can speak three languages, why is there nothing to do?

Even if you are a craftsman, shouldn’t you be a hot commodity that everyone is grabbing?

It was obviously impossible for Meng Yuan to explain the economic crisis to an ancient person hundreds of years ago in a few words. It was also difficult to explain the concept of "relative excess of production", so he could only give a general answer.

"It can only be said that after a thousand years, people will always encounter new problems."

Wang Wenchuan was still confused: "But what does this have to do with the new law?"

Meng Yuan explained: "Because what I am showing Duke Jing now is a reform that happened in a foreign country more than nine hundred years later.

“You can call it: Luo Shi’s Reform.

"And this reform is somewhat similar to your reform, Mr. Jing."
