Chapter 1154 is against public opinion

Zhou Chen carefully considered what the ministers were worried about; it was precisely because he considered that he would retake the Ranshi Mountain Range in the future, so Zhou Chen decided that he had to issue an edict and let the people in the city leave first; Zhou Chen looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground with pleading faces, smiled, and said, "Zhong Aiqing get up first." ”

"My king, Weichen and others implore the king to take back his order. ”

All the ministers knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, they all thought that Zhou Chen's move was really unstable in the city, and it was also extremely unfavorable to retake the Troubled Stone Mountain Range in the future; in the face of the loyalty of the ministers, Zhou Chen's heart was full of emotion, and he said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, can you listen to this king explain his thoughts first, and then let this king decide?"

The ministers kneeling on the ground raised their heads and looked at Zhou Chen with puzzled faces.

"You Aiqing are worried in your hearts, and this king has also considered it, and it is precisely because of this that this king has made such a decision; what is the foundation of a country? It is not the king, not the society, but the people. The so-called people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light. Only when the people's hearts are returned, can the country and the society be stable for a long time and forever. It is inevitable that the Heavenly City army will be overwhelmed, and even if the people in the city do not know about it now, they will definitely get the news in the near future; the Heavenly City army is not more than a million? The Rocky Mountains only have tens of thousands of troops, and it is reasonable that it will be difficult to resist and avoid their edge. No one will be ridiculed for choosing to take refuge in the Troubled Stone Mountains, but if they ignore the people in the city and flee first, they will surely become criticized by the world; perhaps in the future, it will be rumored that the Troubled Stone Mountains will not care about the safety of the people and flee up and down in case of trouble, even if the Troubled Stone Mountains are recaptured in the future, will there still be people who choose to settle down in the troubled cities? Will they still trust the imperial court that does not even care for their lives? However, in the face of the heavenly city of millions of troops, the Rocky Mountains are not cowardly, but a strategy, and this strategy also protects the people in the city, and the world will only remember that the Rocky Mountains are considered by the people. Zhou Chen slowly told the ministers what he was thinking.

The ministers were dumbfounded when they heard this, they had never heard of what the people were precious, the society was secondary, and the monarch was light, but they could hear the meaning expressed in Zhou Chen's words, it was indeed as Zhou Chen said, if the Chaoshi Mountain Range was the dynasty that didn't even care about the life or death of the people, even if the Chaoshi Mountain Range was recaptured in the future, and there were no people in the city to settle down, what kind of dynasty would it be?

The Zhou Dynasty was a dynasty that not only had a perfect system, but also needed the support of the people, not to establish gangs.

"The king's foresight and foresight are not as far-sighted as the old ministers. ”

The heavenly evil thought carefully about what Zhou Chen said, and indeed issued an edict to order the people in the city to leave first, and the advantages outweighed the disadvantages; perhaps the promulgation of the edict would make the city chaotic, but it was undeniable that this move did lay a good foundation for the future reconstruction of the foundation, at least to make the people believe that the dynasty they believed in would never abandon them, and that they would definitely come to the Zhou Dynasty in the future to rebuild.

"The king is far-sighted, and the minister can't wait. ”

The ministers echoed in unison.

"Everyone, Aiqing, get up first!"

"King Xiewu. ”

The ministers knelt down and got up. After some explanation, the ministers no longer insisted, it can be seen that they are not pedantic people, can understand the benefits, Zhou Chen is very satisfied, and when all the ministers return to the position where they should stand, Zhou Chen said: "Since you Aiqing agree with the king's approach, then the next question is to discuss how to settle these people." ”

Settle the people?

The ministers were stunned for a moment.

They never imagined that Zhou Chen was going to arrange troops to settle the people, and if too many troops were dispatched, there would be a shortage of troops in the city, and if someone really took the opportunity to make trouble, what should we do? Moreover, there were tens of thousands of people in the city, so how should we resettle them? Where should they be placed? These are all questions. The army of the Heavenly City is about to attack at any time, how should the king preserve his strength, and how should he transport the valuables in the city? Remind the people in the city to evacuate, they have no opinion, if too many troops are put on the evacuation of the people, this move is really inappropriate.

"Wang, there are tens of thousands of people in the city, not to mention how to arrange them, even if it is an escort, it will be a waste of troops and time; according to the report of the spies, it can be deduced that the Tiancheng army will arrive in the chaotic city in half a month, and it is really not necessary to waste too many troops on the people!"

"That's right, king, we understand what the king said about the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the king is light; but the king is the king, and his status is noble, and if there is no king in the Troubled Stone Mountains, it will no longer be the Troubled Stone Mountains; the king should now consider preserving his strength and preparing to retake the Troubled Stone Mountains; troops, crystals, and materials must be transported out. ”

……

……

The ministers expressed their opinions, they agreed with Zhou Chen's idea that the dynasty needed the support of the people, and agreed that the people should be informed that the Celestial City army was about to be killed and let them flee for their lives, but it did not mean that they agreed with the waste of troops to escort the people. These guards and troops were all used to escort the king and the ministers, but now they are being used on the lowly people, and they naturally feel that it is inappropriate; moreover, there are tens of thousands of people, where should they be placed? They can't be placed in the sect? The sect is not large, and the ministers and generals of the court and the central government may not be able to resettle all of them, so is it possible to give resources to the people who have done nothing? In this way, what should the ministers of the court and the generals who contribute to the country think?

"What you Aiqing is worried about is not a problem, the transmission between the chaotic city and the sect has been established, and the material transportation and the courtiers are not a problem. Zhou Chen explained that they had no need to worry, and continued: "As for the resettlement of the people in the city, it is indeed a problem; The place where the sect was built was a mountain range that was large enough to build a house for them to live in, and those who did not want to go there could find a place to live on their own. ”

Really!

The king really planned to place the people in the city in the sect.

They were just a group of lowly people, and they only existed for the sake of the economic prosperity of the dynasty, not for the foundation of the dynasty, and the ministers could not accept that the king had wasted too many troops on these lowly people, and one of the ministers immediately stood up and objected: "King, this is not appropriate, at this time, it is really not appropriate to waste troops on these people, but should consider how to preserve strength." ”

"Yes, the king, the ministers think it is inappropriate, please think twice. ”

The ministers shouted in unison.

Zhou Chen shook his head helplessly, these courtiers are members of the Protoss of the Secluded Land, they have always been affected by the system of the Secluded Land, the hierarchical differentiation is very clear, the lives of the nobles are far more precious than the commoners, and the commoners should die for the nobles, not the other way around; Zhou Chen did not expect them to really accept it, and said with a commanding attitude: "This matter has been decided by the king, the national teacher, immediately issue an edict, and arrange troops to escort the people out of the city." ”
