Chapter Seventy-Two: Truth
The two of them chatted like this for a long time, and the dishes ordered by Su Zhi were finally delivered one after another.
Su Zhi greeted Lingzhu and picked up the chopsticks, he was hungry and immediately feasted.
Lingzhu followed the chopsticks, compared to Su Zhi's elegant movements, she looked well-educated.
"How do you know so much?" Lingzhu doesn't eat much.
"What is that little bit of stuff I know...... It's not worth mentioning at all. Su Zhi said, "It's just that I have watched a lot of people's politics on the Internet, and I have watched novels and TV series...... It's just bragging, and it's just a girl like you who doesn't pay attention to that kind of thing. β
"What novels and TV series?" Lingzhu asked.
"It's mainly a historical essay in an online novel. While most of the web novels are purely entertaining, a small number are still a bit famous...... It can't be said to be a bit famous, at least you can't write too fakely, otherwise other readers will definitely not be happy. Su Zhi thought for a while and said, "How do you say that sentence, reality doesn't need logic, only fiction needs logic." β
"But speaking ......of which," Su Zhi smiled, "I used to read "The Theory of Power", and now I still remember that sentence - political power, that is, the means of contingency with obscure and secret characteristics in political struggle. The so-called power technique, according to its literal original meaning, has no praise or disparagement. Quan refers to the ancient weighing vessels, and also refers to the act of weighing ......"
"How did you come up with the idea of reading 'The Theory of Arts'?" Lingzhu said, "Usually few people read that kind of book." β
"If you ask me now, I don't know why I thought of reading that book at the time." Su Zhi said, "It's boring, or secondary two, I feel that the book is very powerful, so I decided to take a look." β
Lingzhu smiled.
"What about the TV series?"
"TV series......" Su Zhi thought for a moment, "Does "House of Cards" count? To be honest, I think the political struggle in there still seems a bit naΓ―ve. β
"In contrast, I still prefer the drama "Yes, Prime Minister"." Su Zhi continued, "Although it is a sitcom, more and more news now proves the reliability of its content. β
"That's a foreign TV series, right?" Lingzhu said.
"Haven't you ever heard of those two shows?" Su Zhi asked rhetorically.
"Nope." Lingzhu explained, "I've always been concentrating on my cultivation and never looking at those things. β
"House of Cards is an American drama, and "Yes, Prime Minister" is a British drama." Su Zhi said.
Lingzhu nodded, and said, "The political structure of foreign countries is different from that of domestic countries. β
"Different."
"Are there any domestic dramas?"
"Yes." Su Zhi said, ""Ming Dynasty 1566" tells the story of the Jiajing Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. β
"Jiajing, the emperor, is really powerful, the emperor who entered Beijing as a foreign vassal came to the throne and came to a big ceremony dispute, and he won, through this matter to fight the old aristocracy, the power of the relatives, take charge of internal and external affairs, and really hold the imperial power in his hands." Su Zhi said with emotion, "I didn't go to court for the next 26 years, and I still haven't been overpowered by powerful ministers and eunuchs, and I have always firmly controlled the entire court situation." β
Su Zhi coughed with a smile and said, "Jiajing is good at political struggle, but he doesn't understand how to cultivate immortals, and he hasn't cultivated anything after so many years." You Qiantang Dragon Girl are good at cultivating, but after so many years of life, you are still not good at political struggle. β
"Can you learn political struggle by watching "Ming Dynasty 1566" and learning that Jiajing?" Lingzhu asked.
"I don't know if you ask. All I can say is that it's better to see it than not to see it. Su Zhi thought for a while and said, "This depends on talent, some people are naturally good at political struggle, as if Jiajing is." There are some people that you can teach him no matter how useless they are. β
"There's one more problem." Su Zhi said, "Political struggle is very useful in the mortal world, but it is not so useful in the world of cultivators. β
Su Zhi sneered: "In the mortal world, the emperor is just a mortal who can be killed at any time, and a knife may kill him." But in the world of cultivators, it seems that you Qiantang Dragon Girl, there are so many rebels that can be wiped out by just her...... In this case, it doesn't hurt whether she will fight politically or not, just kill all of them if she is disobedient. β
"Maybe that's why." Su Zhi said self-righteously, "Everyone thinks about cultivation, as long as they have cultivation, they can have whatever they want." β
"The Qiantang Dragon Girl only hopes that as a water monarch, she can make the Qiantang Aquarium live a better life." Lingzhu said.
"The political struggle must be known, and the balance of forces on all sides is definitely needed...... If you want everyone to have a good life, you can't just have power...... Speaking of Jiajing, Jiajing is good at political struggle, so what, what was the life of the people like during his reign? Jiajing Jiajing, every house is clean. β
Su Zhi thought about it and laughed, and said: "Speaking of which, I don't know if you ask, I said that I was just an ordinary social animal before I practiced, because I didn't want to live that kind of social animal life, so I resigned to prepare for the civil service exam." β
"How to make everyone's life better." Su Zhi said, "I think we can refer to my country's development trajectory, I think it is very useful." β
"If you want to get rich, build roads first, have fewer children and more trees." Su Zhi laughed, "Now we don't advocate having fewer children, but advocating more children and more children, and two children are not enough to have three children." β
"The Qiantang Dragon Girl only rules a Qiantang River, which is far inferior to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in terms of specifications, not to mention the vast land of our country." Su Zhi leaned back in his chair, "I just want everyone to live a happy life, instead of referring to a country, it is better to refer to a large company to establish a brand image and develop pillar industries...... I don't know anything about the Qiantang Aquarium now, and I can't say anything about it. β
"Then again." Su Zhi said, "No matter the country, no matter what big company, sometimes it's really not better than anyone, but worse than whom." β
The two of them chatted casually, and they ate almost all of them for lunch.
"What about the afternoon?" Su Zhi rubbed his stomach, he was full of food and drink, and now he wanted to rest, "It turns out that we said that you will teach me the water method in the morning, and I will teach you your fists and feet in the afternoon......"
"In the afternoon I want to read the novels and TV series you mentioned." Lingzhu said, "In addition, learn about the development rules of various countries and large companies. β
"If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government." Su Zhi said, "You are not what the Qiantang Dragon Girl is doing." β
"The dragon girl may not be good at political battles." Lingzhu said seriously, "But it's not so bad, she doesn't look at the relationship, whoever is close will arrange whoever is on the top, insist that the capable will be promoted and the mediocre will be punished...... The more I learn now, the easier it will be to get promoted in the future. β
"So," Su Zhi asked, "that's all for today?" β
"Well, you go home." Lingzhu said, "You can pay more attention to those things when you have time." β
"Why should I be concerned?" Su asked.
"I'll pay attention to you."
"Uh......"
"It's okay, I just spoke a little rushed."
"You've been holding it all the time, haven't you?"
"What?"
"That is, character...... I've found that after we got acquainted, your style of speaking was completely different from what it used to be. β
"Is there one?"
"Yes." Su Zhi said, "This is the real you." β
