The story of this minister, the god and the salt tax is still what Luo Ming saw in his previous life. After some adaptation, it was brought to Granty.

It doesn't matter what the original meaning is, Luo Ming is only telling this story this time to explain his approach to Granty.

After all, although Grant is smart and talented, he is not yet twenty years old after all, and he can barely be considered a child if he exaggerates, and his idealism is not surprising at all.

Although Luo Ming himself is only twenty years old, this cannot be compared.

The people of this world are completely different from those on the earth, and some precocious elementary school students who have experienced the great dye vat of the information age can say things like "taking advantage of the age of legal protection to commit a crime."

When Luo Ming was in elementary school, he chatted with his classmates, and someone really said this kind of thing - the other words that impressed him were "make them into soap" and "characteristic capitalism".

Although they are elementary school students, they are already a hundred times more informed and receptive than many adults in today's world in some ways.

Even so, are there still fewer times on the planet when college students are instigated? Ideological shocks, whether true or false, often have serious consequences.

If Granty's illusions were suddenly shattered now, Lormin felt that it was very risky.

If she's going to accept reality right away and become a pragmatist, that's fine.

But there is also the possibility that she will have a nervous breakdown on the spot and embark on the path of a fanatical holy warrior - to destroy everything in reality that is different from her fantasy under the name of violating the principles of heaven......

Therefore, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, and it is easy to fall into a mess when landing hard, and the safe way is to boil the frog in warm water, and let her change it slowly by second.

Luo Ming continued:

“...... I've seen many examples that illustrate a point. To sum it up in my words, that is, only strong people are qualified to do greater good deeds.

As for whether he wants to do good deeds or not, that's another matter.

Even if an ordinary person has a good heart, how many people can he help? Even if he gives a few more pieces of bread, he may starve. And it is basically impossible to expect him to impress those rich merchants and nobles to donate for the cause of justice and goodness.

I'm not going to be that kind of person, and I'm sure you won't be satisfied with this insignificant little kindness forever, right?

As for the slaves, you see, they are not even more capable of pitying anyone, and they can only survive by the mercy of my master, who is not cruel. ”

Pointing to the slaves who were working over there, Luo Ming continued: "Although that minister did a good thing unintentionally, he did change the fate of hundreds of thousands of people and saved the lives of thousands of people.

And I'm going to be much better than him sooner or later, won't I?"

Granty seemed to think that he was bragging, Luo Ming's face was not red and his heart was not beating, he waved his hand to the land that was being reclaimed, and said as if the monarch of a great country was pointing out a map:

"For every five acres of wasteland reclaimed, one more person can be fed. This reclamation is equivalent to saving the lives of 100 people at a time.

You know, I'm a knight now, and I can't do a lot of things.

If I had become an earl, I would have been able to save tens of thousands, and if I had become a Grand Duke, the country would have been saved, believe it or not?"

Don't think it's strange to feed one person on five acres of land.

Although the farmers in this region do not know how to use even the most basic manure, most people in this day and age did not eat as much as modern people.

Wheat husks can actually be digested, but the taste is very poor, but the poor don't care about the taste, they simply don't take off the husks, so they can eat the original two meals as three.

Granty didn't refute, after all, Luo Ming's identity as a "great man from heaven" had already been deeply impressed in her heart.

Still, she asks a question, and it's a story.

"I remember a side heir to a duke, who promised many benefits to his nobles in order to ascend to the throne, and won the support of the nobles, and succeeded in taking the duke's position with mercenaries.

He initially fulfilled part of his promise, while the other part dragged on as much as possible. Within a few years, he declared his previous promise null and void. And rely on the newly formed army at hand to force his nobles to pay more taxes in order to compete with other countries for armaments.

In order to maintain their position, many nobles ended up desperately squeezing the lower classes to add to their ambitions.

So, what would you do if you were Luo Ming?"

Luo Ming was about to speak subconsciously, but he still thought about it for a moment before speaking: "If it is a poor person, even if you take off their clothes, how many coppers can you scavenge?

I'd rather find a way to make a bigger cake, the one topped with cream and garnished with jam and honey, than snatch back the crumbs of bread that I had promised.

Of course, I'd use a different set against the nobles, but the nobles obviously don't need others to do good deeds for them, don't they?

Grant nodded thoughtfully.

Luo Ming felt that she finally understood her painstaking efforts, and turned her head to look at the sky, showing a relieved smile.

As a result, as soon as he turned his head back, he found Granty blushing slightly, looking at him with a look that was not affectionate, but definitely very moving.

"What's wrong?"

Luo Ming was a little overwhelmed.

"I just think Luo Ming said a lot. ”

Granty laughed: "Actually, I don't need to explain so much, my oath of observance will not change, and I will obey the order no matter what."

Still, it's nice that you're willing to explain it to me often.

There was always the illusion that you were going to go further and further to places I didn't know, but now I understand that this is just my whimsy. ”

"Of course. I trust you completely, so I'll speak my mind. ”

Luo Ming said: "Whether it is maintaining law and order, charging into battle, or ruling one side, it is not something that can be done by a single person. There must always be someone you trust by your side, not only subordinates, but also friends.

As long as you don't dislike it, I will naturally always be with you. ”

At this point, Luo Ming's words stopped.

At first glance, this seems to be fine, but when read carefully, it reveals an ambiguous atmosphere.

It can even be misinterpreted as a confession.
