"Change, how to change?" Baron Cook asked rhetorically in a slightly disdainful tone, "Let me be the same as those local nobles who do not care about the interests of the country and only settle their own small accounts all day long?

Having grown up in aristocratic circles, Baron Cook is not unaware of the rules of the game in aristocratic circles. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn fact, Baron Cook is very familiar with the set of rules between nobles that only calculate interests and do not talk about other rules, and even plays very skillfully, otherwise in the past few decades, Baron Cook would not have been able to lead the Cook family to steadily advance in the power field of the Elson Kingdom.

However, being familiar with it and being able to use it does not mean that it is really in favor. Baron Cook was quite disgusted by the local aristocracy's style of only talking about their own interests and intriguing for some interests. In Baron Cook's view, these people can only be regarded as household dogs, with no country at all, no people in their eyes, and even some nobles are like moths, not worthy of the status they have at all.

So all along, the Cook family has been an outlier among many nobles. Every year, in order to defend the Snow Dragon Pass, the Cook family sacrifices a group of elite warriors who can be called the family's vitality, but the Cook family not only never flinched, but regarded it as an honor. From top to bottom, the Cook family has a sense of responsibility to protect the family and defend the country, which has become the core of the Cook family's spiritual heritage. It is obviously unrealistic to let Baron Cook leave behind the glory of his family heritage and learn from the egoistic practices of the Benson family.

"Of course not. The aristocracy of the Benson family, no matter how good the opportunity is, will not become a big climate. Luo Sheng shook his head and said lightly.

Baron Cook's somewhat stubborn loyalty is certainly a bit out of place, but the Benson family's completely self-interested style, which can sell everything for the sake of profit, and has no lower limit, is actually not very good.

In this life, the Benson family is more lucky, because of the rise of Luo Sheng, the bet on the Bright Sect failed, and the whole clan was destroyed, so naturally there is nothing to say. However, in the previous life, the Benson family was full of luck, betting on the victory of the Holy See of Light, and in the future, they relied on luck to get the feng shui treasure of New Sprout Harbor, and once became one of the hottest families in the Northland.

But such a powerful family, because there is no real concept, the family is full of selfishness, and the atmosphere of selling everything for their own interests is full, so after the death of Marquis Benson, an old man who can suppress internal contradictions, it quickly fell into internal strife, and the two Barlow brothers sold their family interests in order to seize the power of the family, and led the wolf into the house. As a result, this former Northland wang clan finally ran out of vitality in the infighting, completely fell apart, and became the mouth of other forces.

"And what do you think, or what kind of nobleman are you going to be?" asked Baron Cook, his eyes lit up slightly, and he looked solemn.

Because of Crown Prince Raymond's performance, Baron Cook's current mood is actually unstable. After all, a loyal minister who is brave and loyal and has given almost everything for the royal family, but is almost suspicious of the monarch, who is replaced by it, will have a knot.

However, as a gold-level warrior, a loyal servant of the Elson royal family for decades, the concept that he has adhered to for many years has always been in Baron Cook's heart, and it has not disappeared because of this setback. So when Luo Sheng persuaded himself, Baron Cook thought that Luo Sheng was persuading him to follow the old path of local nobles, and subconsciously refuted it, and even showed a hint of ridicule.

But what Baron Cook didn't expect was that Rawson was not selling him the stuff of local nobility, and even expressed disdain for the Benson family, which was originally the most successful example of local nobility. In this way, Baron Cook was a little interested.

"A nobleman who can protect the status of himself and his family, the interests of his subordinates, and the safety of his people. Luo Sheng replied calmly.

In fact, Luo Sheng didn't think much about what kind of nobleman he would become, or a leader. At the beginning, Luo Sheng wanted to obtain a fief and establish his own power, the main reason was to support his own growth, protect his family, and have a force of his own when the whole world faced a crisis in the future.

However, after these days of thinking, especially after experiencing military experience, war baptism, and the study of political and military methods, Luo Sheng gradually clarified his thinking.

The composition of a force is nothing more than three levels, the core leader, or the decision-making level, the middle auxiliary, the executor, that is, the backbone class, and the outermost ruled class, that is, the basic class.

These three classes correspond to the state, that is, the royal family is the core, the nobles and officials are the backbone, and the common people are the foundation. Corresponding to the territory, it is basically the same, the lord is the core, the capable subordinates who are responsible for all aspects of affairs are the backbone, and the majority of the people are the foundation.

The education that Luo Sheng received before generally shouted slogans such as ensuring the interests of the people first and putting the people first, claiming to ensure the interests of the grassroots first. But in the reincarnation of the two lives, Luo Sheng has seen countless forces, and none of them can really do this. Most of the shouting of this slogan is just to incite grassroots forces.

Throughout history, the first thing a qualified leader must ensure is always his own status. Because only by ensuring one's own position and one's own authority can one influence, drive one's own forces, one's own organization, and let the huge forces work for oneself. Otherwise, the power will be lost, the name will be transferred, and all ideas will be empty. Therefore, whether it is a king, a lord, or a speaker or a prime minister, they all attach importance to their own power, which is human nature, and it is also the inevitable choice after the formation of the organization.

After consolidating his position, the next thing a leader needs to do is to use interests and rules to control his subordinates. Let them work hard for themselves, and let them turn their thoughts and intentions into practical actions. If a leader is the brain of the organization, then the backbone of the middle is the hands and feet of the organization. All the ideas and intentions of the leader need to pass through the backbone before they can be translated into practical actions.

Just like the Cook family, Baron Cook is the core of the family, but after all, he is only one person, and the things that can be taken care of are quite limited. Most of Baron Cook's decisions need to be conveyed to the grassroots citizens or soldiers through them, and translated into practical actions.

Therefore, it is extremely important for a qualified leader to control and encircle his key subordinates. Without the efforts of his subordinates, no matter how great a leader is, no matter how brilliant his ideas are, they are just empty talk. If you can't control your subordinates, not only will the leader's intentions not be carried out, but your position will be unstable as a result.

In order to control and encircle one's subordinates, in addition to formulating timely rules, the most important point is to ensure the reasonable interests of subordinates. These interests include money, reputation, status, and power, and only when these are guaranteed will subordinates work hard. Otherwise, it is easy for these elites to become resentful and cause other troubles.

A very important factor in Kelly's rebellion is that Baron Cook is no longer able to meet his normal interests. Kelly's efforts and gains are disproportionate, and he has made great achievements, but he has never been able to be promoted to a higher aristocracy through the lord of Baron Cook, so when facing the temptation of the Holy See of Light, his resistance is pitiful.

After consolidating the authority of the position and controlling the backbone of the subordinates, if you want to become a qualified leader, there is also a core task, which is to ensure the safety of your own grassroots. In Luo Sheng's understanding, this security includes not only basic personal safety, property security, but also a relatively safe distribution rule.

For the most grassroots people, the most feared thing is not that they don't have food or drink, in fact, as long as they don't encounter extreme situations, such as major droughts, floods and other natural disasters, ordinary people rely on their own hard work, basically can support themselves and their families.

What the people at the bottom are really afraid of is the chaos that will be out of order, or the distribution rules that are too harsh and beyond the limits of tolerance. Without order, the people at the bottom will be in a state of panic, deprived of their lives and property at any time, and have no intention of putting them into production. And the distribution rules that exceed the tolerance limit will make the people's labor and income completely disproportionate, and accumulate huge resentment. When resentment accumulates to a certain extent, there will inevitably be sabotage, or large-scale unrest, which will impact the original order.

And as long as these two problems are solved and a basically stable and relatively reasonable order is established, the vitality of the people at the bottom will automatically make the whole system work. With a qualified backbone system, a force can operate and develop on its own. In this way, in Luo Sheng's opinion, this leader can be regarded as qualified.

Of course, to do these three things, the leader is just qualified, and there are many other things to do to become a better leader. For example, establish a suitable upward channel within your own organization, create new sources of profit for the organization, and respond to various external crises. Although Luo Sheng has considered these things, most of them are still in the fantasy stage, so he will not show them in front of Baron Cook.

"Your own status, the interests of your subordinates, and the safety of the people, Luo Sheng, your idea is indeed good. I believe that you will be a good lord in the future. Hearing Rason's words, Baron Cook thought for a long time and finally nodded.

"However, Luo Sheng, you seem to have overlooked a problem, that is, your fiefdom cannot exist independently, it must be attached to the Elsen Kingdom. How are you going to deal with your relationship with the king, the realm and the country?" asked Baron Cook after complimenting Rasen, staring into Rasen's eyes.

"Follow the rules. Luo Sheng replied calmly.
