Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

actually......

In her heart, she regarded Shi Feixuan as both her old enemy and her close friend.

In their previous lives, the two of them fought with each other, and in fact, there were many times when they had the opportunity to kill each other. However, every time the critical moment came, they would tacitly let each other go. It can't be called a life-saving favor. In their interactions, it can't be said that anyone owed anyone anything. They probably respected each other, but due to their different positions, it was difficult for them to get along.

But after dealing with each other for a lifetime, Shi Feixuan has a somewhat different position in Kankan's heart.

otherwise......

After being reborn, he would not take any risks and would go to the holy land of Cihang Jingzhai to check on the other party's condition.

This is certainly for the purpose of confirming whether the other person has wisdom from previous lives, but if you say you don't care about that person, why would you bother?

Besides, there was one thing she herself hadn't even noticed.

If Shi Feixuan really has wisdom from her previous life, then if she goes to investigate like this, the masters of Cihang Jingzhai will naturally be unable to do anything to her. But if Shi Feixuan also has wisdom from her previous life, it is hard to say whether it is completely safe or not.

He simply believed that even if Shi Feixuan had wisdom from her previous life and discovered himself, there would not be much danger.

Back to the present, after teasing Shi Feixuan for a bit, Kankan also said with a smile: "Sister Feixuan, you have come all the way to Daqian and seen the scenery here. What are your thoughts? Your Cihang Jingzhai always talks about the way of heaven and destiny, and likes to make decisions for the people of the world, saying that they choose the master on behalf of heaven. Now that you have seen the world of Daqian, what are your thoughts?"

Shi Feixuan was touched on the face by the other party, pinched and knuckled. Although he didn't use much force and she wasn't hurt, she couldn't help feeling a little depressed as if she was being played with like a child.

However, in this way, the fear in my heart gradually subsided a lot, or rather, it was suppressed a lot.

All fear comes from the unknown.

Although I can't say how much I know about the person in front of me, but judging from the way he has been "playing" with me, it seems difficult to say what kind of weird or evil thing he is.

but......

Speaking of the mission and responsibility of Cihang Jingzhai, Shi Feixuan was shocked and had a lot of thoughts in her mind.

The other party talked about Daqian. Could it be that this Miss Kankan has some connection with it?

Or is there some plan?

Shi Feixuan frowned in thought, but replied, "What I have seen and heard along the way in Daqian can be described as a scene of great prosperity."

After saying this, Shi Feixuan hesitated for a moment, then shook her head slightly: "The so-called prosperous times are far from enough to describe the saintly virtue of Daqian's civil governance. It's just that Feixuan is at a loss for words and it's hard to describe."

It's not hard to describe,

But in her opinion, she was not qualified to comment on Daqian's civil governance.

actually......

When she first heard about such a powerful empire and knew the speed of its rise, founding and expansion, she thought it would be a warmongering country. However, after she actually came here, she found that compared with Daqian's glorious military achievements and brilliant battle records, its civil governance was not inferior at all.

Even in Shi Feixuan's opinion, Daqian's achievements in civil governance far exceeded its military achievements.

The scene in the small border town alone can be described as prosperous. Every household has industry, every household can have enough food and clothing, and all children and teenagers can read and write, learn literature and martial arts. When she first saw such a scene, she thought she had come to some paradise on earth.

That is to say, the small town over there is not very big, otherwise such a prosperous scene would be much better than the Daxing City of the Sui Dynasty.

It would be better to say that, apart from the glamour on the outside, the lives of most people in Daxing City are probably not as rich as those in the small border town of Daqian.

Not to mention any education in schools.

Knowledge is something that only local tyrants, landlords, wealthy families, and powerful families can access.

One can imagine how shocked and moved Shi Feixuan was at that time.

What does it mean to govern the world?

This is what it means to govern the world!

The key point is that this is not an isolated case. She has come all the way from the border of Daqian, and it can be said that every place has similar scenes. If there is any difference, it may be that the policies of different places are different according to local conditions.

And the further you go in, the more prosperous and flourishing it becomes.

When we arrived in Jinling City, the core of Daqian seemed a little "ordinary".

Although it was prosperous, it was somewhat different from the imagination she had been constantly sketching in her mind along the way.

But this did not disappoint Shi Feixuan, instead she became even more delighted.

Especially when he saw the Daqian Central Imperial Palace, which was far smaller in size than the Daxing Palace and Ziwei Palace of the Sui Dynasty, he was even more awe-inspiring.

Shi Feixuan did not think that this was because Daqian was less powerful than the Sui Dynasty.

What I saw and heard along the way is difficult to compare with, or even cannot be compared with, the Kaihuang Reign initiated during the reign of Yang Jian.

No matter how good the former is, it cannot ensure that all the people under its rule have enough food and clothing, nor can it achieve such an achievement of educating the people, and it is even more impossible to invest in all aspects of people's livelihood governance.

How much manpower and material resources are needed to achieve this?

These are all fine, the key is that Daqian can truly implement them. From this point alone, we can see the clean and strict administration of Daqian.

If the current Sui Dynasty were to do this, even if it had enough national strength to mobilize these resources, it would definitely not be able to implement it.

Before they even got to where they were, they would probably have been exploited at every level and swallowed up by the various aristocratic families and forces.

It is almost impossible for food to fall into the hands of the people. Even if there is some, there will not be much left. The land cannot be distributed to the people. It would be a blessing if there is no large-scale annexation.

It can be said that at the beginning of its founding, Daqian eliminated all the powerful people, landlords, and aristocratic families under its rule, creating an excellent foundation for governance that could promote the implementation of various policies, especially the popularization of the school system.

If it were the Sui Dynasty, as soon as this policy came out, it would probably cause unrest throughout the country and rebellions would break out everywhere.

How can it be implemented?

Not to mention that the current Sui Dynasty cannot do it, even the Sui Dynasty during the Kaihuang reign would definitely not be able to do it.

But Daqian did it, and it was perfect!

From these we can see the peak of its national strength!

With the national strength of Daqian, building a palace and constructing a capital city would definitely be a piece of cake.

But the fact is that the Jinling Palace was renovated from the ruins of the previous dynasty and has been used since the founding of the country.

This kind of governance invested huge resources in the management of people's livelihood, even to the point of disregarding the cost, but paid little attention to things like the construction of the imperial palace. It can be seen that His Majesty the Daqian Emperor was a wise and benevolent ruler unprecedented in ancient and modern times!

Shi Feixuan highly praised and respected this.

She came to Daqian on the orders of her master to conduct a detailed investigation. What she saw and heard now was completely beyond her imagination.

It also perfectly matches her choice of a sage king and a ruler who governs the world.

The so-called "choosing a master on behalf of God" seems to be unnecessary now.

Because the true Lord of Destiny for all people in the world already exists in the world.

"So..." Wan Wan smiled slightly: "Sister Feixuan, have you made a choice? Do you want to join Daqian?"

Shi Feixuan frowned and nodded: "Cihang Jingzhai takes the people of the world as its own responsibility, and Daqian is undoubtedly the destiny."

If Daqian could use her, she would naturally not refuse.

only......

Shi Feixuan glanced at Kankan, somewhat unsure of what she meant.

Just looking at it, it doesn't seem like they have any hostility towards Daqian, which is a good thing.

Otherwise, given the other party's mysteriousness, if they really want to do something, it would be difficult to stop them, and I would be powerless to do anything.

Rather, her life is now in the other person's hands...

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 595: Conservatives! Answer!

After hearing Shi Feixuan's answer, Kanan just smiled gently.

It's not a surprising answer.

To be honest, she may not like Cihang Jingzhai, but she does not deny that this leader of the righteous path does take the world as his important responsibility. Even if she looks down on them for being aloof on the surface but secretly involved in power struggles and scheming, she has to admit that Cihang Jingzhai's practice of "selecting the master on behalf of heaven" throughout the ages may not be so perfect, nor in line with the concept of the Holy Gate, but it is indeed a way that is relatively more beneficial to the people of the world.

At least in the short term.

The main purpose is to end the chaos at the lowest cost.

If it were the initial period, when Daqian was in the stage of rebellion, Cihang Jingzhai might not necessarily agree with or support this political move of completely changing the world, sweeping away all old forces, and rebuilding the grassroots system.

If we take stock of their choices throughout the ages, it is not difficult to find that their positions tend to be conservative.

To end the chaos at the lowest cost, compromise is inevitable.

If the aristocratic families dominate, Cihang Jingzhai will be wary, but more often it will choose to take advantage of the situation, cooperate with them, or even directly select and support one of them.

In the previous life, the Li Tang clan received great help from Cihang Jingzhai and the support of the righteous forces in the martial arts world. This is how they finally reached the top, successfully unified the country, and ended the chaotic times of the Sui Dynasty.

However, in this process, the power of the aristocratic families was not greatly weakened. Under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, they still occupied a dominant position in the world, and the actual political structure did not change much.

In Kankan's view, Cihang Jingzhai's approach only brings short-term stability to the world, but the core contradictions within are not resolved.

It's nothing more than that under the turmoil, the population has been drastically reduced, which has eased various contradictions to a great extent, allowing stability to be restored and maintained for a period of time.

But the root remains the same, the contradiction is still there, and later, as time goes by, it will eventually erupt.

But it is hard to say whether it is good or bad for the people.

The advantage is that the war can be ended as soon as possible, but the disadvantages are in the future.

However, if we follow the Daqian rebellion model, overthrowing all the old orders and re-establishing a new order, this model will certainly have great advantages, but the disadvantages are also very obvious, that is, it is too difficult and the probability of success is very small.

It is almost impossible for anyone or any force to succeed.

No matter which force implements it, it will inevitably be met with great hostility and fierce resistance from the world's aristocratic families and clans.

When the power is weak, it is difficult to get started, but when the power is strong, it will undoubtedly push the war to a higher intensity.

Cihang Jingzhai is unlikely to choose to support such a force.

Unless the world situation has truly reached a point where it must be completely changed, a situation where the tide of change is unstoppable! Otherwise, based on Qianqian's understanding of Cihang Jingzhai, asking this group of people to choose this path filled with countless thorns and obstacles would be harder than ascending to heaven!

Because they cannot give up the present for the future.

The feasibility is still uncertain, and the hope for the future is extremely slim.

To make an enemy of the aristocratic families, clans, landlords and powerful people in the world is tantamount to cutting oneself off from the world and bringing about one's own destruction. The possibility of success is really too small.

Even if it succeeds, the price to pay will be extremely tragic!

This is, to a certain extent, contrary to their philosophy of saving the world and the people.

But... then again.

Isn’t this the case that Daqian has already succeeded?

At the beginning of the founding of the country, all the aristocratic families, landlords, and powerful people were suppressed and eliminated, all the old order was swept away, and a new order was rebuilt. It was a blank slate, and all the policies that benefited the country and the people were successfully implemented!

Under the premise that Daqian has already been successful and has a mature system, Cihang Jingzhai is unlikely to go against the trend.

Therefore, Shi Feixuan’s attitude and choice are not difficult to understand, and are even within expectations.

Kanan smiled, and gently moved her slender jade hand across Shi Feixuan's beautiful crescent-shaped jaw, as if teasing a kitten. Seeing the other person's serious expression but with a hint of shyness, she couldn't help but feel amused.

The Shi Feixuan I saw today, just to talk about the changes in her emotions, was richer than all her previous lives combined.

The fairy-like character finally has some down-to-earth air.

"Destiny lies with Daqian. Sister, what you said is true, but..." Wanwan paused slightly, then continued in a soft voice, "If I said that Daqian wanted to expand abroad and would definitely use military force against the Sui Dynasty in the future, would you, the contemporary heir and saint of Cihang Jingzhai, still have the same attitude as you do now?"

Asking for flowers

Upon hearing this, Shi Feixuan was startled, her brows furrowed slightly, and after pondering for a while, she said, "Feixuan's thoughts will not change, but I alone cannot represent the decision of the entire Cihang Jingzhai."

Since Yang Guang ascended the throne of the Sui Dynasty, the country has carried out large-scale construction projects, conquered Goguryeo, and built the Grand Canal... After a series of measures, it can be said that the people were living in misery and chaos gradually arose in the world.

One of her important tasks when she went down the mountain was to investigate changes in the world situation.

In fact, the reason why Daqian was so shocked might not be because of the support from the Sui Dynasty. As a reference for comparison, the gap was too big.

It's so tragic!

During the reign of Daqian, canals were being built, and water conservancy projects were being constructed all over the country. Not only that, roads were being built on a large scale, and various policies that consumed huge amounts of energy were being implemented. However, Daqian's national policies and guidelines were all being promoted in a planned manner. While ensuring the basic livelihood of the people, they were being completed step by step and in an orderly manner, unlike the Sui Dynasty, which continuously levied corvée and military service. Millions of young and strong civilians died on the way to conquer Goguryeo, or in the construction of the Grand Canal, or were conscripted to build the eastern capital Luoyang... It is unknown how many civilians were killed in this process.

But all this is not all. While maintaining constant exploitation both internally and externally, Yang Guang has been squandering money lavishly since he ascended the throne. He has built palaces in various places and toured the world many times. Every time he went on a tour, it was grand and wasteful!

From all these things, any discerning person can see that the Sui Dynasty is not far from chaos.

After Shi Feixuan came down the mountain and witnessed such a tragic scene, she had a deeper understanding of the four words "the people of the world". She also felt a great sense of responsibility and sincerely hoped that this chaos could be ended as soon as possible to bring stability to the world and the well-being of the people.
