Xuanqingcheng.

In the Hundred Cities Alliance, it is an unassuming small city on the edge.

It has a population of more than 800,000 and an average level of economic development. The characteristic industry is dried fruit processing industry, which exports nearly 10,000 tons of dried fruit snacks every year.

Because the added value of dried fruit is relatively low, other industries can not develop, so in the 100-city alliance, it belongs to the bottom role.

Although not rich enough, Bai Tao, the city owner of Xuanqing City, is sincere and frank, generous and loving the people, and is chivalrous and fair.

Under Bai Tao's governance, Xuanqingcheng's per capita happiness index is very high.

Coupled with the rapid economic development over the past decade or so, the days are the same every year. Bai Tao's prestige is higher and more sincerely supported by the city residents.

However, a fierce quarrel was taking place in the main palace of Xuanqing City at this time.

The object of the quarrel was also surprising. It was actually the lord Bai Tao who was arguing with his son Bai Ze and his daughter Bai Xue.

Noisy, noisy, very loud.

"Father, join the Wancheng Kingdom quickly. Joining the country is not harmful to us. You are still your city owner, and no one will take your city!" Son Bai Zedao said.

"Father, Xuanqing City is the last city-state that has not yet joined the country, and all 109 other cities have joined. What are you still insisting on?" Bai Xue, her daughter, also didn't understand.

Bai Tao looked at his son and daughter, wearing the uniform of senior students in the "Daxian Academy", and knew that the children had been completely assimilated by Na Wan Chengguo, and the position of the station was different from his own. The school asked for leave and went home to persuade himself to join the Wancheng Kingdom, and the truth he told made him irrefutable.

but……

Once joining the Wancheng Kingdom, some of the things that belong to Xuanqingcheng are completely lost.

Even if this thing is of little value in the eyes of his son and daughter, for him, it is really difficult to separate.

If freedom is cut off, can it be called freedom?

"Father, if you do n’t join again, do you know the consequences of waiting for Hsiaoqing City? Blockade, suppression, then warning, and finally the suppression of the army, our little Hsingcheng City, impossible to resist, is your life. , It ’s also at stake. "

Son Bai Ze worried anxious tone.

"Father, have you read the" Zhenlin Daily "in recent months? Those city-states that refused to join the Wancheng Kingdom, what did they end in the end? The controlling families of the nine cities were jointly overthrown by other families. Nine families are almost genocide. "

"There are also 13 families in control of the city-states. Under heavy blockade, they can't bear the loss and finally chose to compromise."

"There are seven other families that were directly annihilated by the National Defense Forces. The crimes were to fund thieves, disrupt the smooth flow of trade, wantonly raise the road tax, and kill the mirror merchants ... The evidence is solid, they are annihilated, and the people are very popular Praise ... No one sympathizes with them. "

Bai Ze looked at him and said, "Father, now there is only one city, Hsiaoqing City! Everyone's eyes are looking at us, and many newspapers are also speculating, what will the country do with Hsingcheng?"

"Father, don't insist on unnecessary use, and you won't lose anything when you join the country. We can also find a loan from the state, build a bluestone brick factory, and earn more coins. Isn't this better?"

"Yes, father, you are old. For the sake of the family, don't be fooled!"

Daughter Shirayuki also walked over and said.

"Do not!"

"Do not join!"

Bai Tao shook his head firmly, "Xuanqingcheng had a very good life and didn't need to join the country or earn so many coins. We are very satisfied with our life now."

"Xiaoqingcheng, there is no need to change, no need to be controlled!"

Bai Tao's slightly cloudy eyes were full of uncompromising light.

Bai Ze and Bai Xue looked at each other with disappointment on their faces.

The old man was really saved.

They even had the idea of ​​stunning the old man, summoning the clan and the clan elder, and by letting them join the Wancheng Kingdom, he would not let him take the family to a dead end.

but--

Looking at the half-headed white hair on his ricket's back, and the firm and unhurried pace, the two of them finally failed to get that hand.

Everyone was uneasy.

Countless people speculate in the background: What will be the fate of Xuanqingcheng?

So, half a year passed.

Calm and calm, nothing happened.

Even the people who are suffering through the turmoil are stunned, and they are full of doubts: What is wrong with the country?

Why haven't you started with Xuanqingcheng?

Did you forget this city?

The last city-state that did not join the country, just leave it alone?

"The head of state, why haven't you swallowed that Xingqing City in there, and what is left of that city?

Yang Linkong, the deputy head of state, came over to ask this question on this day, and he did not understand the way of the head of state.

Zhou Ming helped his forehead and shook his head: "It's not that I want to keep it, but I really can't find an excuse to annex them."

Excuse?

What excuse is there to annex a small city with a population of 800,000?

What excuse do the strong take over the weak?

Yang Linkong didn't even understand what the brain circuit of the head of state thought.

Zhou Ming had to explain to him.

"Xuanqing City is different from other uncoordinated city-states. In this city-state, the Bai family is absolutely dominant, and other families are very weak. The swarming strategies are not feasible."

"The public support of the Bai family is very high. The people regard their city owners as good people and saints. The people's hearts are like strong walls. We can't find any loopholes."

"Such a city-state, even if it is swallowed up by strong means, the people will not return, and management will be a big problem in the future, and it will even become more and more chaotic. It will also affect the reputation of the central government. The side effects are very large, because this is no way." Lift. "

"Don't ignore the role of" Tao ". The other 29 city-states are so easy for us to win, and people have nothing to say, because we have occupied the morality and attracted people's hearts."

"If these city-states can be like Xuanqingcheng ~ www.readwn.com ~ the city owner is kind and generous and has little compassion, so that the atmosphere in the country is simple and friendly, instead of arrogant and extravagant, enslaving the bottom, and relying on strong and weak. How can a city-state governed like a **** on earth be easily destroyed with one touch? "

"So, the city-state of Xuanqingcheng is still there. If their hearts and morals are still there, we will not move it and give them complete freedom."

"If Houqingcheng loses people's hearts and morality one day in the future, we will take back their freedom."

Yang Linkong nodded his head. These words from the head of state really made sense. He could not find a reason or excuse to do it. If he swallowed up, he would only be indigested.

Moreover, Xuanqing City is located in a remote place, with little economic influence, its location and role are not critical, and the overall impact is not great.

Therefore, for the time being, I don't have to worry about Naoqingcheng.

As a result, this little Hyunqing City became a very unique free city in the Wancheng Kingdom, enjoying complete freedom for a long time.
