Chapter 70 The kingdom is like a house, and the lamp is like a king's eye

"My king, are you really ready to become a king?"

Hearing this question from the ghost of dreams, Zhang Xun opened his mouth, but did not speak.

The answer is obviously...... No.

If Zhang Xun still had a relatively relaxed mentality when he looked at the national capital before, when his eyes went out of the relatively "civilized" capital and saw the real state of existence of the vast majority of the people, that relaxed mentality disappeared.

Yes, becoming a king is not just talking, of course, if Zhang Xun is quite a faint gentleman, although he sympathizes with the people of the other world, but after all, it is not so much that the heart of the Holy Mother is overflowing to the point of sacrifice for some people in the other world.

But......

It won't last long.

Because there is a difference in the speed of time between the two worlds, that is to say, a few years of Ying Yang may be equivalent to a year for Zhang Xun here, in this way, assuming that it is relatively smooth, he can barely let the kingdom continue to live for decades as a faint king, then according to the time conversion, he only has a few years of time to be free in reality.

If he imagined that a normal person would live for dozens of years and then be born, old age, sick and die, at least he would have to maintain the rule of Ying Yang for hundreds of years.

The faint monarch can't do this, and even a mediocre monarch is difficult to do this, from a utilitarian point of view, Zhang Xun must govern the country well even if he is simply selfish and self-interested.

Not to mention......

He closed his eyes, and the weeping faces of women flashed before him, and the numb looking children in the cave.

Eventually...... I feel a little unhappy.

"What do you want to say. After being silent for a long time, Zhang Xun opened his eyes and asked.

The voice of the Dreaming Spirit came: "Unfortunately, if you are the monarch of a glorious great country, it is not impossible to be mediocre, even mediocre, however, as you can see, your kingdom is small, full of contradictions, the people are poor, the climate is harsh, the small land is mostly mountainous, the location is between the four kingdoms, surrounded by tigers and wolves, there is a gap between the rich and the poor, the army is loose, and the hierarchy is ......"

"Unfortunately, you have become the monarch of such a small country, and you must be careful at the helm, otherwise, perhaps next time, an unexpected accident will overthrow your regime, and with it will not only the king, but also the people of this land. ”

"With being born a king comes responsibility. ”

The Dream Spirit's voice was low, and the words were a little mechanical stumbling, but the tone was solemn.

Zhang Xun sighed: "This is the reason for the previous five simulated decisions?"

"Yes. ”

Zhang Xun nodded and didn't say anything more.

If he had been deceived by the fact that he had bothered to make five decisions only to find out that it was only virtual, now he was finally relieved.

As the Dream Spirit said, decisions are not only made for himself, but every decision of the king, every decision, will affect the people of this barren land.

Although the results of the simulation were generally good, they were as they were in the first decision about the plague.

Although in the later decision-making, Zhang Xun successfully pulled up the reduced national fortune.

But how many people will die as a result of the first plague alone? How many families will be torn apart? How many young children will have no fathers?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xun even breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it was fortunate that it was just a simulation, otherwise......

"The trial of the new king is really necessary, and if it were not for the kingdom to be left without a master for a day, the trial would still be prolonged. ”

Zhang Xun nodded after hearing this, and then asked: "However, you still haven't answered my previous question, even if it's a simulation, then why don't you give me the information of the kingdom?" ”

The Dream Spirit fell silent.

After that, Zhang Xun suddenly noticed that he had appeared in that palace again.

Sitting on the Iron Throne with only one lamp on the right-hand side.

The lights only illuminate the small areas around it, and the walls can be faintly seen.

"What does that mean?"

Zhang Xun frowned.

The slightly dull voice of the ghost came: "The country is like a house, and the lamp is like a king's eye." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Xun was stunned.

The Dream Spirit continued, "A small country is like a hut, and a large country is like a great palace, but the king's gaze can only be seen as a lamp and candle, and he can only see a small area around him. ”

Zhang Xun looked at the lamp and candle beside him.

He vaguely understood this truth.

To make an analogy, just like a company, a small company, only three or five people, as the boss, you can easily manage it, give instructions, just wave and order the arrangement.

However, if the size of the company has more than a dozen people, the boss himself will have to make a little effort to control and arrange things, and even need to arrange a deputy to assist.

If the size of the company becomes a company of several hundred people, it is completely impossible for the boss to take care of everything alone, and he must delegate power, and then only control a group of small leaders, and the small leaders will each control the employees below.

This is very clear.

The same is true of the king, no matter how good the king is, it is impossible for one person to take care of the overall situation, and it is impossible for his eyes to look so far and so carefully, unless he ......

The kingdom is very small.

"The eagle is a small country, and its affairs are relatively limited, and the king's eyes, like this light, cannot make the house visible, but the walls can be faintly seen. The Dream Spirit spoke in a soothing tone.

Zhang Xun suddenly interrupted him and said, "I can hold this lamp in my hand, and then take a few steps forward, and I can see the entire house clearly." ”

The Dream Spirit agreed, "Yes, but this only applies to small nations and widows, where the king cannot be far from his throne, and the house can be enlarged. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xun felt a slight vibration on the floor, and the faintly visible wall suddenly became invisible, and he immediately reacted, and the area and space of the entire room suddenly became larger.

"Now it is difficult for the king to see the whole picture of the house, even if he can walk forward with a lamp and candle in hand, but what if the house continues to expand?"

As he spoke, the floor shook again, and this time the house expanded again, and Zhang Xun couldn't see anything except the surroundings of the throne.

Beyond the light, there was only darkness.

This......

Even the voice of the Dream Spirit echoed, showing that the house had expanded to a certain extent, and it seemed empty.

"The greater and wider the kingdom, the less the king can take care of the whole situation, and must rely on his courtiers, who will lie, and who will be deceived and foolish, so that the king will no longer see the truth, but can only distinguish the truth from the falsehood from the documents presented by the courtiers, and at this time there is already too much information to be obtained, and this too much information will mislead the king's judgment. ”

In this way, it is better to know than not to know, to control a big country, the eyes should jump out of the sea of information, and judge from another dimension, so the kings of all dynasties have read history books, and the new kings have experienced, with ignorance as the premise, the purpose is to make the new kings learn to jump out of the ideological barriers. ”

……

The Dream Spirit's voice stopped.

Zhang Xunan quietly watched his Iron Throne turn into a theater seat again, and on the screen in front of him, there were a few points of light in the darkness.

After a long time, he said, "Is there anything else?" I want to see it again. ”

The Dream Spirit didn't answer, but the curtain of light jumped out.

[This cross-plane image transmission has ended, do you want to leave?]

At the bottom are two options, "Yes" or "No".

This time, the ghost of the dream still didn't give Zhang Xun a chance to continue to ask some questions.

However, the difference was that the young king suddenly felt that many doubts were no longer important.

He just needs to know that there, there is his kingdom.

His people are living in dire straits.

And he, very much wanted to do something, and then ...... Change.

"Yes, leave. ”
