(Haha! The weather is too cold, so I'm a little lazy. Please, readers, please include it)
The Chinese Federation, the European Union, and the Holy Britannia Empire were currently recognized as the three superpowers in the world! Any random country could easily sweep through other small countries! Well, although there were only three small countries left, it could not be denied that the three big countries had a transcendent status in the world. However, although they were all three poles of the world, there were always differences in strength! Unfortunately, the Chinese Federation was currently at the bottom in the eyes of the outside world.
Due to the economic crisis that swept through the entire Federation in the middle of the last century, the Chinese Federation had been losing blood for more than half a century. This had caused its national strength and international influence to be greatly reduced. This could be seen from Japan, which was located next to the Federation. Although they were still respectful to the Federation on the surface, they were secretly disobeying it. During the Sakura Stone Conference not long ago, they secretly increased their share of the export to the British Empire. All of this made the Federation's General Affairs Department extremely furious!
However, Liu Yu was also very angry now. Looking at the deserted street in front of her, Liu Yu was questioning Zhuge Huairen and Li Xingke with a furious expression. He couldn't believe that this was a busy commercial street in the past, and it was even a street in Luoyang! Li Xingke, who was standing at the side, was obviously not surprised by this. He could only sigh and say," Your Highness, this is the current state of the federation. You saw it just now. Even Luoyang was like this, let alone other cities!”
Liu Yu's expression was very ugly. Her tender and beautiful face was so gloomy that water could be squeezed out. He had nothing to do for the past few days. Yesterday, he ignored the two people's advice and insisted on going out of the palace to inspect the people. He originally had the idea of taking a stroll, but after walking five streets, it was already such a scene. Liu Yu was now furious. Star Carving's words aggravated Liu Yu's mood. He thought about how the two of them had stopped him from leaving the palace yesterday. It seemed that it was not a safety issue, but that they did not want him to see such a situation.
Looking at Liu Yu's ugly expression, Zhuge Huairen advised,""Your Highness looks much better now than 30 years ago! My father once told me that at that time, all the cities in the Federation were as quiet as ghost towns at night. However, after the current emperor ascended the throne, the situation in the Federation has improved a lot. I predict that if this continues, in a few years, these commercial streets will become lively again.”
Filled with dissatisfaction, Liu Yu and the other two came to East City. The eastern and western markets of Luoyang were famous markets and trading areas after the Federation established its capital! With the continuous development of the Federation and the establishment of the modern capitalist economy, Xi City, which was once dominated by commerce, quickly became an external financial center. At its peak, there were hundreds of banks stationed in it, and the daily capital flow alone reached a huge amount of ten billion taels! However, with the economic crisis of the last century, the financial industry shrank rapidly, and the once glorious Luoyang West City gradually fell into depression. On the contrary, the East City, which was mainly based on handicraft production, had developed into a famous central business district and a shopping paradise. In the East City, which gathered world-famous brands, it had once become a world-famous shopping and leisure paradise.
Liu Yu, who was strolling among them, looked at the bustling crowd around her. Her extremely bad mood just now barely eased up. After all, it was Luoyang's business center! Just as he was about to stroll around this world-famous market, the sharp-eyed Liu Yu saw some clues from the crowd. Judging from the way they were dressed and dressed, it was impossible for the commoners of the Federation to afford this. Under the current policy of 'equal wealth', almost all the personal property of the commoners was confiscated. Only the basic supplies distributed by the government could satisfy their hunger. However, this policy spared the aristocrats who occupied a large amount of social wealth. Under such circumstances, how could ordinary people have the spare money to shop here? Only these dignitaries, nobles, and relatives could come to this shopping paradise. Liu Yu's face, which had just eased up, quickly turned ashen. She could not help but curse,
"Which idiot issued such a policy? Even a child like me can see that it's unrealistic. Is that idiot's brain clamped by a door or kicked by a donkey? Hurry up and get him over here. I promise I won't beat him to death.”
Looking at Liu Yu who was jumping and cursing, Li Xingke was so scared that he hurriedly covered his mouth. Fortunately, this was the bustling East City, so not many people noticed. If these words were heard by others and spread to the imperial court, it would cause quite a stir. Zhuge Huairen, who was also shocked, came up and whispered,"Your Highness, this decree was issued by the previous emperor. He is your imperial grandfather. Are you sure you want to beat him up?”
" Wuuu..." Liu Yu's expression quickly collapsed after being covered by Li Xingke.
At noon, in a foreign fast food restaurant. The three of them sat in the corner and were speechless. Liu Yu, who had no appetite, was dragged here by the two of them, wanting to make do with a meal. "Your Highness, do you know what the consequences are if someone with ill intentions hears what you said just now?" Dawnstar said with a bitter expression. The Crown Prince of the Federation had publicly insulted the previous Emperor. If this got out, it would be terrible!”
Liu Yu also looked conflicted." Of course I know. I was too angry just now. But when I thought that such a ridiculous plan would come from the Federation, I couldn't help it! However, the one who came up with this decree was my imperial grandfather. I'm so depressed now and want to beat someone up!”
Liu Yu clenched her fists and looked at the two of them eagerly. The two of them shrank back under Liu Yu's somewhat passionate gaze. Zhuge Huairen hurriedly advised,"Your Highness, you are a gentleman now. As the saying goes, a gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands. Violence is wrong. You must calm down!”
Liu Yu revealed a smile, but this smile was cold to the bone.""I understand, but even a gentleman has his moments when he is in a bad mood. I believe that the sages will understand my momentary impulsiveness.”
Li Xingke couldn't stand Liu Yu's strange smile. He wiped his cold sweat and said,"Your Highness, it is said that when you are in a bad mood, you should eat more. I'll go order immediately. Please sit down first!”
Watching Li Xingke go to the front desk to order food, Liu Yu slumped on the table and said gloomily,"Huai Ren! Why do you think the late emperor did this? I don't believe that my royal grandfather wouldn't be aware of these problems.”
"Your Highness, not only are you unable to understand this matter, even my father is unable to understand it no matter how much he thinks about it. You must know that back then, the entire imperial court was fully in accordance with this order to govern the country, but not a single official objected.”Zhuge Huairen recalled the information he received from his father and asked in confusion.
"Could it be that the eunuch is using the former Emperor's name to suppress the Imperial Court to execute this decree?" Liu Yu asked with a darkened face.”
Zhuge Huairen shook his head." I'm not sure about that. Father didn't tell me the details of what happened back then. It seems like he doesn't want me to know about this."”
"That's true. There's no point in pursuing this now. The most important thing now is to immediately reform and change the current predicament. Otherwise, the Federation would be doomed if this continued!”Liu Yu said solemnly.
Zhuge Huairen nodded in agreement." Your Highness is right. The country's economy is like stagnant water. The national treasury is so empty that it can't even pay for military expenses." Now, Britain was eyeing them from the outside, and India was at odds with them. It can be said to be internal and external!"
Liu Yu lowered her head and pondered,"If there must be a change, then what can I do?" What countermeasures does Imperial Father have on this matter? Shouldn't he discuss it with Imperial Father when he returns to the palace? Just as Liu Yu was deep in thought, Dawn walked over with a few trays. However, the woman following behind him attracted their attention, especially her long green hair!
