Chapter 436: Kingology

"The Lord has finally returned... ”

"There's nothing wrong with the lord... ”

Zhang Fan is also somewhat relieved by people's reaction, because at least people can say this, which means that he and the people he found have not had much life. It is possible to know that people trust themselves without turning on their spiritual perception. When Zhang Fan used some means to verify, he found that this was indeed the case.

"Everyone's worried. Unless the Mandate of Heaven is no longer there, I don't think there are many beings in this world that can cause me trouble for the time being... After Zhang Fan briefly said some words to everyone, he seemed to retreat again and entered a meditative state. The crowd didn't care about it. Having the Lord by his side obviously means that at least within the range of i, you can go as you please. Zhang Fan did not stop at this time, but encouraged the children to play farther away.

"In the next few days, you can relax and play a little bit and don't worry about going too far. If anyone is going too far away or somewhere they shouldn't, I'll warn you ... ”

Hearing this, the children, who had just been a little depressed after many months of study and toil, seemed to have finally been liberated. Although Zhang Fan didn't prepare too many things for children to play with, there were still some of the most basic cloth bags and leather ropes, which could be regarded as making up for the needs of physical exercise in other aspects other than simple reading or reading idle books.

At this moment, Zhang Fan seemed to feel that it was not difficult for him to monitor ordinary children within a few miles of him even when he was sleeping, and even more so when he was in a meditative state. Therefore, at this moment, it seems that he has used some of his own knowledge to try to establish a faint virtual world in his mind. At this time, of course, Zhang Fan did not have the power of an immortal cultivator, and he could not completely simulate a world like reality, but there was no problem like a dream with a hammer in the east and a jar in the west, just like a dream drama without a script.

It seems that Zhang Fan gradually put away his unique perspective like the dreams of many ordinary people as children, but like an unconscious outsider, he pays attention to how ordinary characters in the market will act after receiving his own orders, and how he and even some children react subsequently. and even when you make some behaviors and choices, what kind of impact will it have on the entire world system?

This kind of thinking is not very long, and Zhang Fan already has a plan in less than a day and night, but when he saw that the children and even many people around him were on duty to sleep and rest at night, he had no intention of disturbing, but when people woke up, he called the few children he found to his side. He asked a few children, "What do you think is the most important thing about governing the country as a monarch? Of course, not a monarch with extraordinary abilities like me... ”

"The most important thing ... The most important thing is, of course, to make a private visit like the Lord... As many storytellers have said ... One of the children said

"No... If you don't have the ability of the lord, just an ordinary mortal with a few retinues, I'm afraid you don't need any masters of the rivers and lakes to make a move, and any bought city fox society rat may pose a great threat... But if you go out of the city with a large army... That... It seems that it is difficult to understand many things in the people... Another child said.

Hearing the children's discussions, Zhang Fan's heart also relaxed a little. At least these children selected by themselves seem to be much stronger in many aspects of their cognitive ability than the children of ordinary people in Kyushu, and they are not as restrained as many children from large families, so the plasticity is okay.

"Then, if you are a monarch, if you think about it carefully, what is the most important thing for you, is there really no way to know the real situation in some places while leading an army on patrol?"

After all, girls' thinking is more pattern-constrained and slower than boys, and of course, children at this age, especially some of the more intelligent people, seem to be able to react and even think.

"There should still be a way, right? Like what... I lead a troop of cavalry or chariots, and I can move around, and my march and maneuver are slower than the speed of some people's messages, but if I send men from all over the place to bring some people to know the situation for myself... ”

It seems that when he said this, the children finally realized that Zhang Fan did not intend to test these girls who were not strong in terms of creative thinking ability, so he also said, "Yes, as a mortal monarch, the most important thing should be the ability to lead soldiers." In the past, the biggest obstacle encountered by many monarchs of the Eastern Plains was actually the imperial palace and capital city in the traditional sense of Nazhongzhou. Indulging in the prosperity and grandeur of the traditional sense of Miyagi can actually have a powerful corrosive effect on many people around you. You see, even the legendary foreign monarchs or barbarian emperors who are villains, they are nominally emperors, but in fact generals, prefer to live in large tents or not too big, but like many mansions that are inferior to the royal palaces. In this way, they were able to keep the Konoemon soldiers around them from decaying for various reasons, and to firmly and flexibly control the force of the entire government. If a regime or monarch is not able to move freely by direct army and force, he will soon be unable to fight an entire class... ”

Zhang Fan told the children about many of the most important things about a monarch, but it didn't take too much time, because if it was to select a prince, Zhang Fan would not have chosen these children.

"Of course, this is not the main point for you to master, and you don't need to worry about taking control of the entire power for the time being, what you need to learn are some skills and abilities that high-ranking officials such as prime ministers or governors need to master. Do you know what is the most important professional skill of a high-ranking official such as a prime minister or a prime minister, including a mortal monarch with a certain amount of power, in addition to the ability to lead troops?"

"The most important professional skills are... "A lot of kids want to talk about watching the songs, but they think it's a little simpler. After all, it seems that this thing is easy to make up and fool. But in the end, a child said, "I should be reading all kinds of secret reports, right?"

Zhang Fan nodded: "Reading official articles, as well as light and shade reports, of course, is also a kind of ability." First, you have to understand the inner meaning of some official clichΓ©s. Put yourself in your shoes and think about how you would phrase the report and the secret if you were not a monarch but a subordinate person. Do you have any problems with this report on the development of industry and commerce and the taxation of agriculture?"

Zhang Fan thought about it, and used his unique skills to draft a report that did not exist but seemed to be a bit of a doorway, which seemed to be a local tax project and some economic indicators. and even worded descriptions of the development of some industries.

Inexperienced children who have seen a lot of such things can't see the doorway. Zhang Fan said that when you see these things, you must learn a kind of logical reasoning and macro vision to analyze what kind of things may be the false reports and costs of officials, and what is not, which requires some common sense understanding and skills in some things. . .

In the days that followed, Zhang Fan gave a lot of make-up lessons to the children, ranging from the labor efficiency of farmers in different situations, to the geography and arable land conditions of different places. After telling this, a relatively smart child really found a lot of problems from it: "This sub-report says that the tax burden in the southeast is too heavy, and the tax burden in the northwest Tianzhou is too clear, and it seems that there are problems no matter how you look at it." The yield per mu of the southeast Suzhou generation is about 300 catties in normal years, while the mu yield of Tianzhou is only 100 catties. The difference in yield per mu is three times, but this does not mean that the burden that can be borne is also a three-to-one relationship. It should be like some examples of raising soldiers under general mobilization in wartime, where there are plenty of places, ten people can send one soldier, and where there is not enough, only sixty people can send one soldier, and the per capita tax supply capacity should be six times the difference... ”

Listening to these words, Zhang Fan also encouraged with satisfaction: "Yes, this is the first thing to have a general logical understanding of some basic laws of the world and people's livelihood, and you can get a glimpse of many of them." And there is also a principle of self-interest. For example, this tax and economic report, what do you see the way to do it?"

"Some tax items seem to be growing, or growing faster, while some tax items don't seem to be growing so fast... ”

"Not bad. Generally speaking, people tend to underreport some tax items that may be overcharged and will affect their interests under normal circumstances, and vice versa... ”

When talking about some basic logic about people's livelihood reports, Zhang Fan also used some war reports as the principle to explain how to distinguish the truth and falsehood of military reports and even war reports.

"If you look at this report on the bandits and even the details of the war zone, what is the problem?"

After a lot of Zhang Fan's teaching, the children seemed to know how to use their brains this time, so after careful deliberation and thinking for an hour, the children seemed to say, "The newspaper said that the army of the thieves is 200,000, but how can the strength of 200,000 people be so hidden, very powerful, and flexible." Suddenly appeared on the outskirts of Zhongzhou? Why didn't there be any sign before?"

"That's right. These are based on some specific knowledge of military affairs. Under normal circumstances, if you want to be mobile and concealed when such a densely populated farmland, the actual strength of the army is only 10,000 or 20,000 even when there are not many horses, and it can be seen that this is a false report of the strength of the thieves. It is likely that some of the temporary besiegers who were brought in during the war were also counted in the scope of the army. You're looking at such a military newspaper... ”

"It seems a little unreasonable, thwarting 30,000 enemy troops, beheading only 500, our casualties and losses seem to be only 500... ”

Zhang Fan went on to explain: "Whether it is reasonable or unreasonable depends on the situation, and it is necessary to have a general understanding of the different nature of the army. If there is a confrontation or confrontation between weak brigades at the secondary border gates, this situation is not necessarily impossible. However, the attack launched by the opposing commander personally did not kill some of the high-ranking generals of our army in the end, which may be a great victory that was concealed... Of course, speculation from the recital alone is not the complete solution. The practice of medicine on the rivers and lakes pays attention to looking and hearing, and the same is true for mortals governing the country. Newspapers and secret reports are an important means, as are parades and visits, and so are court meetings. A monarch with considerable experience is able to make special comparisons in the reports and secret reports, or to arrange reliable people to assist in the comparisons, rather than Tudotu being quick to do everything himself... ”

Hearing this, many children were a little stunned: "Do the monarchs of the Eastern Plains in the past also want to learn this?"

Although Zhang Fan didn't know very well, he still shook his head, "You must know that many people in the world don't like a monarchy that is too strong, and the general prince and prince do not really have the experience of managing large regions, armies, and even governing the country. Generally speaking, a monarch whose wisdom is not too bad needs as little as seven or eight years and more than twenty years, and generally more than ten years or so to be very clear about many things, but being wise does not mean that he has enough time to organize his own mountains and cronies, and at this time many people will stand on the side of the more inexperienced prince... ”

Zhang Fan then talked about several common reliance on the monarch and their pros and cons, such as foreign ministers, direct relatives, maternal relatives, harems, etc., and warned people that these forces that seem to be natural allies only have the need to rely on in some special circumstances and cannot form conventions, etc.

Of course, the imperial detail technique is obviously not Zhang Fan's focus, Zhang Fan's focus is more on how to interpret various official articles or foolish things. Of course, it also includes how to create different substantive content reports, distinguish dry goods from virtual goods, and often compare them on different routes.

In fact, at this time, Zhang Fan didn't have much experience in the mortal mode of kings, and it was more just some very simple and crude divine abilities and even spiritual power detection abilities, but in the case of having extraordinary wisdom ability, he could deduce a lot of things just by relying on reasoning and thinking and even some knowledge he had accumulated.

After about a month of study, when the children seemed to have the necessary understanding of the geography of the world and even some knowledge systems, Zhang Fan began to have common sense and real performance.
