The strongest fire master

Chapter 196 Ending (End) Sudden End and Beginning

The first year of the new calendar——

After many discussions, it was finally decided to change the name of the Fire Nation to the Phoenix Empire, Azura was the Phoenix Emperor, and Kahn was appointed as the prime minister.

Although Azura wanted Kahn to become her queen, but Kahn's personal strong objection was not mentioned for now, and their current age was indeed too young.

According to Kahn's words, it will take at least another three or four years to talk about marriage issues.

However, he would never be a queen.

As the first year of reaching an agreement with Aang and others, the first thing they need to do is to consolidate the regime and restore people's livelihood.

The aspect of consolidating the political power is mainly reflected on the outside, completely suppressing the rebels, as for the internal political environment, there is almost no need to worry.

As the founding emperor who accomplished unprecedented feats and created such a huge empire, Azura wields unreasonably great power, and the entire court is basically her voice.

Even the matter of directly parachuting one's boyfriend into the prime minister of the court, the officials in the court could only admit it with a pinch of their noses.

The work of restoring people's livelihood was also fruitful, and in the process of advancing this work, the world saw for the first time how terrifying the power of a unified empire could explode.

The construction ability of censors is world-renowned, but because of the limited number and the problem of distribution, only a few powerful and wealthy cities can give full play to their role.

But now, Azura and Kahn mobilized manpower from all over the country to form 200 teams, each with ten people, a total of [-] construction teams composed of earth masters, and started construction operations all over the country.

General Hao, one of the five members of the original Earth Power Council, was the captain of the team, Kou Li, the daughter of the prefect of Yudao, was the vice-captain, and Master Bumi was appointed as the technical advisor.

Ten earth masters can build a small town out of thin air in just one night, and the reconstruction work can be said to be completed rapidly.

In addition to the earth masters, the two also recruited 120 water masters from the Arctic water tribe, almost draining all the strength of the Arctic water tribe.

Of the 120 water masters, [-] of them were sent to Antarctica to help the Antarctic Shuishan tribe rebuild their homeland. This move was also appreciated by Katara and Soka.

The remaining [-] water masters were also sent to various parts of the country in units of ten to assist local residents in dealing with water problems, including sorting out waterways, changing river courses, building canals, solving floods and droughts, and so on.

At the same time, some arsenals in Huolie were also ordered to transform into various civilian tool factories. Under the national unified dispatch, a steady stream of raw materials were sent here from all over the country, and then the finished products were sent to all parts of the country. .

At this time, the airship fleet originally designed for war also took on the important task of transportation.

In the eyes of the common people, these airships transporting supplies across the country have gradually changed from frightening monsters in the sky to a strange and spectacular scenery.

Not only the water masters and soil masters, but also the fire masters soon joined them, responsible for restoring the fields that were abandoned during the war and pioneering.

The weeds that grow on the land are cleared by the fire master at designated points. Not only is the burning ground thorough enough, but there will be no fire problems. Whether it is clearing up weedy and abandoned fields or pioneering in the wilderness, the efficiency is amazing.

So when the earth masters, water masters, fire masters, and airships from the original Fire Nation appeared beside the people at the same time, they gradually began to have a vague understanding of this brand new empire——

Seems, not bad?

While the rebuilding work was in full swing across the country, Kahn and Azura quietly promulgated a policy:
Interracial marriages are permitted and encouraged.

For Kahn, this is an excellent experience passed down from his hometown in his previous life for thousands of years; for Azura, this is a successful case from the colony, in short, there is no reason not to implement it.

At the same time, Ai Luo opened a teahouse in the original fire country.

Time passed, the first year came to an end, the sporadic resistance teams were completely suppressed, and the reconstruction work also achieved great success. This is undoubtedly a good start.

The next year, people ushered in more policies and reforms.

First of all, the compulsory education model of the original Fire Nation was first implemented in relatively wealthy cities such as the Arctic Shushan, Yonggu City, and Omashu City, and it will be gradually implemented downwards in the future, and finally implemented in every place.

Secondly, not only in the army, Azura promoted more officials of the Shushan and Tuqiang tribes into the court, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the officials and nobles of the original Fire Nation, but was strongly suppressed by Azura.

Kahn privately convened a meeting of relatively powerful clothing merchants across the country, hoping that they could produce more and more diversified clothing that is not limited to a single ethnicity in the future, and personally delivered a batch of designs for exotic clothing, and then quickly spread them all over the country. Pop up and down.

Immediately afterwards, Azura set up a monitoring team to conduct secret inspections across the country to investigate corruption, corruption, discrimination and other issues of officials during their tenure, with Zuko as the leader of the inspection team.

On the other hand, under Kahn's supervision, railways began to be laid in the original fiery country.

Not long after this, Aang, who had been silent for a year, suddenly appeared and punished a former Fire Nation official who was a fish and meat commoner.

After learning the news, they invited Aang to the palace, and after discussing a series of issues, Kahn finally announced in a high-profile way that Aang would join the review team, which caused an uproar.

But for the people at the bottom, life seems to be getting better and better.

The third year

The reconstruction work was basically completed, and the Yutu Division Corps began to completely turn to road construction work, and the Yushui Division Corps joined hands to build dams, change the river course according to the plan, and so on.

Due to the smooth progress of the restoration of farmland and the work of pioneering wasteland, grain production has gradually increased.

Compulsory education began to be promoted downwards, extending to second-tier cities.

The construction of a section of freight railway in the former Huolie country was completed and trial operation began.

As peace was restored, exchanges between the various ethnic groups began to deepen, and families composed of different ethnic groups began to increase.

Tuo Fu's Imperial Earth Art Gym and Imperial Metal Art began to be famous all over the country, attracting many earth masters to come to learn, a report titled "The Application Space and Future of Imperial Metal Art" also appeared in the court , became the focus of discussion.

As the foreshadowing of the previous two years gradually blossomed, the entire empire showed a trend of recovery and prosperity.

So, in the fourth year——

"You quit!?"

Zuko panicked and took the crown thrown by Azura, and said in disbelief:
"Do you know what you're talking about?!"

"Of course I know."

Azura leaned on Kahn's shoulder and said with a relaxed expression:

"On the contrary, didn't you hear clearly? Let me repeat: I will quit this emperor, whoever loves will do it."

Zuko only felt a headache for a while. He didn't know what kind of madness Azura was going through. He scolded:
"Do you think you are working as a servant in a teahouse? You can say you don't do it and don't do it. You are the lord of a country!"

"What the hell are you thinking?!"

"It's nothing, I'm just tired of acting and not interested. I really don't know what I thought at the beginning."

Azura shrugged, and then said with a look of boredom:

"I don't become emperor to give orders to a bunch of stupid pigs every day, let alone to benefit the people with some bullshit."

"I've had enough."

"I prefer to be mischievous and play with people's hearts, you know? I want to be a tyrant more than a good baby who looks stupid!"

As Azura said, she gave Kahn angrily a look.

Seeing this, Kahn just touched his nose and didn't speak.

Apparently, the reason why Azura didn't get her wish had something to do with someone.

So she said directly:

"Anyway, I don't want to be such a stupid emperor. You can be you if you want."

"I?"

Zuko pointed at himself, always feeling a little bit out of his mind.

"Hmm, you still wanted to snatch it from me before, but now I'll just give it to you, aren't you happy?"

Azura blinked playfully, and said with a smile:

"Don't you want to restore the balance of the four clans? After you become emperor, you can do whatever you want, isn't that great?"

"That's a thing of the past."

Zuko was speechless.

Seeing the changes in the world in the past three years with his own eyes, he has already agreed with Kahn's views, and never thought about restoring the balance of the four races.

"Really? Whatever, I don't care anyway,"

"you!"

Looking at Azula who was cheating, Zuko had no choice but to look at Kahn for help and said:

"Kan, don't you want to say something?"

Kahn scratched his cheeks and smiled embarrassedly:

"Zuko, you know me, but I do too"

The reason why he has been conscientious and conscientious in the past few years is that he is simply seeking his own government in his position. In fact, he has long wanted to run away, but because of the agreement with Azura, he can only bear it temporarily.

But he didn't expect that Azura proposed to run away before him, which was a surprise to him.

"You, you...!"

Generally, only Kahn can persuade Azura to decide something, but if it is a matter that Azura and Kahn decide at the same time——

Then no one can stop it.

So the next day, the news that Azura passed the throne to Zuko spread all over the world in an instant, and the whole country was boiling for a while, with all kinds of gossip and conspiracy theories flying together.

After hearing the news, An Ang and the others hurried to the palace, and asked Zuko:
"Zuko, what happened? You really usurped the throne!?"

"Usurperation? I think I should first arrest you for defamation."

Zuko said with a black line on his head.

He told everyone the ins and outs of the matter, and as expected, everyone was shocked and silent.

Soka suddenly said in surprise:
"I didn't expect you to be joking after such a long time no see!"

"I'm not kidding."

"...Are you really kidding me?"

Soka was speechless, but at this moment, Toph smiled and said:

"But I have to say, it sounds pretty cool, I mean no one can be cooler than them!"

"It's not cool, it's irresponsible!"

Katara replied angrily, and then asked:

"Where are they now?"

"I do not know either."

Zuko sighed, shook his head and said:
"They just said they were on vacation."

"..."

After another silence, Zuko said to Aang:

"Actually, Azura told me before leaving that it doesn't matter what I do, even if I want to restore the balance of the four races, so..."

"I want to ask, do you have any ideas?"

"I……"

Aang froze for a moment, was about to say something, but immediately fell into deep thought.

In the past three years, in addition to learning imperial arts, he has also traveled the country to increase his knowledge, while performing his duties. He is naturally aware of the changes that have taken place across the country in the past three years.

At the beginning, he planned to recruit as many helpers as possible from all over the country, but he didn't know when it would start, even he himself was already starting to maintain this new and vibrant empire.

Kahn, is this what you mean by change?
Aang murmured in his heart.

Finally, he made a decision and said:

"Let's keep it that way. At least for now, it does look good."

After getting a reply, Zuko also smiled and said:
"I understand."

"but,"

Toph suddenly asked Zuko:
"Azura and Kahn are gone, so what should we do next? Can you do it by yourself?"

"Actually, I am really troubled by this problem."

Zuko said:
"Whether it's Azura or Kahn, they are much more powerful than me. The country that the two of them helped each other build is now handed over to me alone, and I feel a little scared in my heart."

"So I hope to get your help, and I hope you can support this empire to continue to grow together with me."

Hearing this, An Ang and the others glanced at each other, then smiled at Zuko:
"You didn't learn badly with the two of them, did you? You're waiting for us here."

"But of course it's fine."
-
Above the sea of ​​clouds, Kahn and Azura were sitting on Sifang and flying. Azura was holding Kahn's waist tightly behind him. Kahn asked her:

"As you said before, if Zuko really dismantled the empire, wouldn't it matter to you?"

Azura asked back:

"What do you think?"

"Anyway, I would feel a little pity, after all, it took me three years of hard work. As for you, "

Kahn paused, then smiled helplessly:
"Probably just excited."

"Not a bad answer."

Azura showed a satisfied look, and rewarded Kahn's side face.

"Compared with ruling the world, I really prefer the process of conquering the world. If Zuko really dares to tear down my empire, I should thank him instead."

Azura laughed, but the smile was inexplicably cold:
"Thanks to him for giving me a chance to make a big fuss again."

Kahn shook his head, alas, this guy is born with anti-social personality, it is really hopeless.

Immediately afterwards, Azura rolled his eyes at him again, and joked:
"What's more, I don't know you yet? Every time I go out, I wish I could die outside. If I don't let you out, who knows, I will run away from home that day."

"Don't you think I don't know what you're comparing me to."

Kahn said in a bad mood.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, have you figured out where we are going on vacation?"

Azura rolled his eyes and said:
"How about the big banyan tree?"

"I'd like to see if the nonsense things you said are true."

"Crossing the world? Although I don't know if it's possible, but..."

"Let's go!"
