"A month?"

"Xiao Dongzi, are you sure?"

The empress stared at Yang Dong with a pair of phoenix eyes, with a little expectation, but more of disbelief.

"If Your Majesty is willing to cooperate, I am 100% sure."

Yang Dong's tone was firm, and there was confidence in his eyes.

When the empress heard this, she glanced at Yang Dong deeply, and after being silent for a long time, she slowly asked:

"How do you want me to cooperate with you?"

"It's easy to say, and I ask Your Majesty to hand over the jurisdiction of the Huangzhuang to me."

"Huangzhuang?"

The empress frowned, she was a little confused, now that the palace is under siege, just a royal village is beyond the reach of the whip.

What is the significance of Xiao Dongzi's request for jurisdiction here?

But after she pondered for a moment, she still bowed her head slightly:

"Little Dongzi, I'm a little tired. Whatever you want, just do it. Even if you can't do it, don't be discouraged. It's a big deal, I'll leave with you, and it seems like a good thing to be the hostess of a rich man. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yang Dong immediately froze in place.

"Uh...... Your Majesty, are you serious? ”

"What do you think?"

The empress smiled slightly, and her phoenix eyes whitened him,

"Xiao Dongzi received the order, from now on, he will order Yang Dong, the chief manager of the palace, to take charge of all affairs inside and outside the palace, and there must be no mistakes!"

……

West Factory, small building.

Yang Dong leaned back on the sandalwood chair, his eyes were empty, but the thoughts in his mind were already far away.

Now that there is tolerance, it can be regarded as completely releasing power to himself. You can act as you like, but this burden also falls on you.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to solve the fire from afar, according to the experience of the previous life, if he doesn't want Lin Chunqiu to threaten the people of the capital, he can't directly order the brave army to attack the city.

Case...... Maybe it's time to mobilize that unrivaled force.

Just doing this, for a feudal dynasty like Da Zhou, is it a blessing or a curse?

Yang Dong sighed softly, and at this moment, he heard a rustling sound in his ears.

He snapped open his eyes, and there was a terrifying glint in them.

But the light was fleeting, replaced by a lazy voice.

"Benefactor, you are really not an ordinary person. Say, come to me at this moment, what's the matter? ”

"It's a bit of a bit smart."

Wang Lingling's cold words, as always. She looked at Yang Dong, and her calm eyes flashed with a bit of curiosity.

"Just listening to what you said, you seem to care about the power of the people. You Empress of the Great Zhou don't care, but I want to hear your opinion. ”

When Yang Dong heard this, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It was in the study that he did discuss the topic with the empress. But the question is...... At that time, he had already probed with the power of qi and blood, and there was not even a single fly around.

In this case, where did you hear about yourself, the savior?

It seems that his benefactor, who was able to save himself in Youzhou, may not be as "coincidental" as it seems on the surface.

Thinking of this, Yang Dong took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

"Since the benefactor is interested, I will talk about it casually."

"Can the benefactor know the truth that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat?"

"Can water carry a boat or capsize a boat?"

Wang Lingling's eyes flashed with a look of thought. After a moment, a faint look of surprise flashed across her cheeks.

Such a metaphor is quite novel. Are you trying to say that the people, like water, can determine the strength or decline of a country. ”

"The so-called people are the foundation of the state, and the state is solid. That's it. ”

"But...... If that's all you have to say, I'm a little disappointed. ”

Yang Dong smiled faintly, but the confidence in his eyes was undisguised.

It seems that his benefactor does have some knowledge. But well...... After experiencing that era, he already had a clear understanding of the power of the people.

After all, there is a truly peerless figure who has built a whole new era with the help of this force......

"The benefactor laughed, but my knowledge was shallow, so I only said some other opinions."

"Does the benefactor think that the wisdom of the people should be broadened, or should the people remain foolish?"

"This ...... It seems that it is necessary to adapt to local conditions. If conditions permit, it is better to open up the wisdom of the people. ”

Wang Lingling thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty.

"Actually...... It is still necessary to broaden the wisdom of the people. ”

Yang Dong's tone was still calm, and there was even a bit of doubt in it.

"The people are always the simplest beings, but they are also very ignorant. Therefore, it is only when the wisdom of the people is opened up that they will understand what they are living for. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Dong seemed to have an idea, and continued to speak:

"In front of the vast number of people, whether it is a prince or nobleman, or a high emperor. In fact, their essence is as weak as paper paste. ”

"Oh, that's a novel idea."

Wang Lingling's eyes lit up slightly, and she looked Yang Dong up and down, as if she had re-acquainted with him. But then she asked another question.

"There is some truth to your point of view. But now the dilemma of the Great Zhou Palace does not seem to be able to be solved by this. After all, it will not take time to open up people's wisdom overnight. ”

Hearing that Wang Lingling was able to jump out of the limitations of this era and discuss the power of the people with himself, Yang Dong couldn't help but be shocked.

Because his arguments are indeed too shocking.

Even in front of the relatively enlightened Ji Ziyue, he would not say it so directly.

What is the identity of this benefactor?

Yang Dong groaned slightly, but he didn't feel like he had any clue. So he continued:

"It is true that it is not an overnight thing to open up the wisdom of the people, but the people have a characteristic, that is, they are direct enough."

"It's like for the people of Da Zhou, the land and food at home are great things. It seems that as long as there is surplus food at home, there is land. Even if the sky falls, or how you are bullied by nobles, you can bear it. ”

"But on the contrary, if there is no food and no land at home, then there is only a way to survive by falling into the grass."

When Wang Lingling heard this, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly. She seemed to be thinking about Yang Dong's remarks and fell into deep thought.

Yang Dong didn't care about this. Still smiling, he sat down in a sandalwood chair, quietly waiting for the other party's next question.

After about the tea, Wang Lingling's eyes lit up slightly.

She stared at Yang Dong with a complicated expression, and asked:

"So you are looking for the empress of the Great Zhou to come to the jurisdiction of the imperial village. But what do you want to do, do you want to give these lands to the people of the city? ”

If that's the case, it can indeed reach a lot of people. But even so, they were just poor people. How can we solve the siege of the palace? ”
