The charm of a country depends on whether the Gentiles can naturally develop a sense of superiority from their hearts after they come in.

If the Gentiles could, then the country would be in no way attractive.

All efforts it makes will become the charm of the Gentiles.

The real charm is precisely the sense of frustration, the immense, the unparalleled sense of frustration, and the indescribable envy of the subjects of this country.

Humans are sociable animals with complex emotions, strict division of hierarchy, strong sense of comparison, the need for belonging like air, and a strange and strong tendency to masochism.

Lack of a sense of belonging means lack of a sense of security. Comparing each other and division of hierarchy brings aspiration, which makes people involuntarily want to integrate into it.

The common tendency of self-harm that humans are to make up their minds for a certain goal, all costs will become self-stimulation for persistence in the process. The higher the price, the more difficult it is to give up the goal.

Objectively speaking, Zhu Xiaoen's treatment in the Ming Dynasty was not good, let alone the courtesy. What he talked to Bai Laohu was actually just that he saw everything in Beijing after he accepted the canonization.

A glimpse of surprise is probably longer than this.

After several years, he stayed in Beiyang. Although the emperor named him the prince, people would give him the title of noble prince and receive his Lumi every month.

But he has been in Beiyang. The person he is most familiar with is the teacher who teaches Chinese in the Officers Academy. The dish he has eaten the most is cucumbers. On weekdays, he goes to the farthest place is Tianjin Wei.

Even if he had money, he couldn't spend it. In the end, he went into Chen Mu's pocket to get a batch of military supplies that opened up territory for the Ming Dynasty.

Is the Ming Dynasty really as good as he imagined?

Maybe there is, maybe not, maybe it is much better than he imagined, but no matter what the result is, the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Xiaoen imagined must be different from the Ming Dynasty that really existed.

What the real Ming Dynasty brought to Zhu Xiaoen was only a possibility.

Some people say that a bird is worse than a bird in the hand, but this is different for "possibly".

People have a high opinion of themselves. When they see a bird in the woods, they believe that they can hold it in their hands. As for whether it can be, who cares?

The price spent in the process of catching birds will become a secret buried in the heart and will never tell others. Those losers who have worked hard to waste their time in half their lives will not have the face to talk about his price to others. Only the lucky ones who finally catch the birds will be mentioned repeatedly in the limited years in the future.

Just as those prices are not losses, but golden medals of merit, they give the ignorant the illusion that they can always catch birds as long as they are willing to pay the price.

There are always very few people who are skilled in bird catching. Most people do not know how to catch birds. If you know where birds can seize the opportunity, you are no longer a general person.

This is exactly the case with the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Xiaoen saw. This great country has infinite possibilities. At the same time, he did not have any sense of belonging to this country. Even if he envied the farmers, merchants, officials, generals of the Ming Dynasty, even if he was the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, the people would not dare to refute him after saying something to him by Liu Tang.

Even if this was blatant slander, he did not dare to refute it directly, and at the same time he also agreed with the Ming Dynasty in his heart - Daqing is actually the most powerful empire, and the people should be controlled by officials, and they should also be controlled by them.

Whether Liu Tang or Duan Jingzhu, it will make people clearly realize a reality: they are outsiders.

Since they are outsiders, they must integrate. The greater the cost of integration, the better their senses towards the Ming Dynasty will be.

The people of the Ming Dynasty were highly respected because they were a Ming Dynasty, and King Ailan was looked down upon because he was an Ailan. Only in this way would people want to integrate into it and become a Ming Dynasty person.

If, on the other hand, because he is an Ailan, he will be kind, respected, and feel at home, then all this charm comes from the Ailan Kingdom. What is the connection with the Ming Dynasty?

The great Tang Dynasty was particularly brave. Li Guangbi's name was Zang Taimiao and painted like Lingyan Pavilion. Does it have anything to do with him being a Khitan? It was because he was the best in the military achievements of Zhongxing, and he was talented, and the Tang Dynasty could use it.

That's all.

Zhu Xiaoen's unfair treatment in the Ming Dynasty not only did not make him feel bad about the Ming Dynasty, but instead he was thinking every day when he returned to the Kingdom of Ailan, whether to submit a letter to the emperor when he completed the Ailan Unification War and requested to live in Tianjin.

This kind of thing has happened. The king of Manaragana, the king of Sulu, Badu Gebahass, the king of Mala, Waladonben, and the prince of Ceylon, Shiliba Jiaora, were all buried in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xiaoen didn't think he would be the last person to make such a choice.

At this point, perhaps Zhu Xiaoen and Bai Laohu had the same fate. Whether they fought a war of unity or became rich through business, their ultimate goal was to allow themselves to live in the land of the Ming Dynasty as a Ming person in the second half of their lives.

But before that, he followed the White Tiger to see all the swamps and fields, but still couldn't see any magical weapons that helped him capture Dublin.

He could only see piles of peat piles piled up in the wilderness like graves, and several sparse granaries seemed to be able to supply the natives of the White Horse Ministry who worked for the White Tiger.

It seems that Bai Laohu has no intention of preparing supplies for King Ailan's army.

Then what are you bringing me here for fun?

Bai Laohu pointed to the endless pile of pikes and said, "Those are the supplies I want to hand over to the king. All the dried pikes can be taken away by the king. The troops made big cars, as long as the king's army pushed them to the front line."

"The people around Dublin need peat to fertilize potatoes, and they also need to prepare peat for heating this winter. No one on the entire island has the ability to produce peat on a large scale like me. Each of them can sell food to the king."

"No, no, no, no!"

Somewhere that touched Zhu Xiaoen's heartstrings, Bai Laohu's ordinary words scared him so much that he suddenly shook his head one after another, and said, "No, no, these things are not mine, I can't ask for them."

"And I have no land to give you. At the mouth of the river, I will give you one of the same as one hundred parts of the entire island. Your company has not even cultivated 100% of those lands."

"I can't hand you more land until you have finished reclamation."

Bai Laohu shook his head and said, "What I want to change for these peats is not the land. As the king said, the land of Baima Company is already too cruel, and what I need is not the land, but the people who can reclaim the land."
