"The common people are the most reasonable group in the world. Zhuang Lexian also pulled out a chair and sat down, put his arm on the table, and said, "If you are good to them, they will be good to you." ”

Huang Yuchen nodded lightly, and suddenly felt as if he hadn't done enough to them, and began to think about how to make the lives of the people of Ekang City more comfortable.

"However, as a superior person, your purpose is not to be a small city. Zhuang Lexian changed his words and said: "Don't be blinded by what is in front of you, Ekang City is dispensable for the entire Qitian." ”

Huang Yuchen felt that Zhuang Lexian had something to say, so he couldn't help but look at him and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The desires of the human heart change with the change of the environment. Zhuang Lexian looked at Huang Yuchen and said softly: "You have given them a bereavement pension now, and they are grateful to you, because they have not received it before." ”

"If they take this as the norm, every time something like this happens, you have to give out a bereavement pension, and if it breaks once, the gratitude to you will turn into a complaint, how grateful they are to you now, how much they will hate you when the time comes. ”

"Hate me?" Huang Yuchen felt that what Zhuang Lexian said was like a fantasy, he was so attentive to the people of Ekang City, how could they hate him.

"Yes. Zhuang Lexian nodded and said: "As a friend, I shouldn't have poured cold water on you when you were happy, but as your comrade-in-arms, I must remind you that mercy is not in charge of the army, kindness is not wealth, if you want to achieve greater achievements, don't stick to this small gain or loss." ”

"What you did today is very good, you have won the hearts of the people of Ekang City, and you can also make most of the people of Ekang City recognize you, but have you ever thought that people's excitement will always pass and return to daily life, at that time, what are you going to do?"

When Huang Yuchen heard this, his mood was really a little uncomfortable, he was happy just now, Zhuang Lexian's words were like a basin of cold water rushing towards him, and the excitement in Fang Cai's heart disappeared at once.

"How to do it, it is natural to find a way to improve their quality of life, so that they have a stronger sense of attachment to the heavens. Huang Yuchen had just thought about this matter in his heart, and he already had a direction.

If you want to make a small city like Ekang City rich, Huang Yuchen really has many ways, and the literature and classics he has read before are not in vain, and he still has a huge sum of millions of taels of silver now.

"If you do, you could end up losing Cannes. Zhuang Lexian solemnly said to Huang Yuchen: "Not only may they lose, but they may also defect to your hostile forces." ”

"Impossible!" Huang Yuchen glared: "What you said just now, the people are the most reasonable, if I treat them well, they will treat me well, and the people of Ekang City have been loyal for generations, there is no such possibility!"

"Of course, but there is a premise for this. Zhuang Lexian ignored what Huang Yuchen said about generational loyalty, because this was no different from nonsense to him: "The premise is that you have to be good to them all the time." They don't have any requirements for you now, and if you start thinking about them now, they will demand from you later. ”

"You know in your own heart that you can't stay in Ekang City forever, you have to go back to the imperial capital. When you leave the city and go to a wider world, can you still treat the city as well as you do now?"

"If you can't, you're going to lose Cannes. ”

When Huang Yuchen heard this, he was about to speak, but Zhuang Lexian waved his hand and said in advance: "Moreover, in the future, there will be more and more cities under your command, more and more populations, and the area you manage will become larger and larger." ”

"Can you guarantee to be so good to all the people?" Zhuang Lexian's rare mood was stable, and he kept a serious state: "If you set a precedent, any city that will obey you in the future will use Ekang City as a benchmark, if you can't make them the same as the people of Ekang City, then you won't get their hearts, and what you receive in your hand is just an empty city built with stones." ”

"Once such a thing happens, as there are more and more cities under your command, there will be more and more uncertain things, and all kinds of rumors will inevitably be set off among the people, how do you deal with it?"

"If you don't deal with it well, these cities that have returned to you may be reversed, and then you will not recover the heavens, but give them a better reason to rebel. ”

"If the prince cannot treat everyone equally, how can we guarantee that the emperor will be able to treat everyone equally? Since they cannot treat everyone equally, then their future should be in their own hands rather than on you. ”

When Zhuang Lexian said these words, his eyes were deep, and he changed his previous appearance, and the things he said hit Huang Yuchen's heart, making the warm feeling he felt quickly disappear.

That's right...... Can we do it the same?

This is obviously impossible, Huang Yuchen does not have so much energy, nor can he have so much financial resources, so that all the people of the entire Qitian can be taken care of.

A city of Ekang is only a few thousand households, with a population of only tens of thousands, and it can't even catch up with any of the twenty cities in the Dongwangfu, so it is naturally easy to manage, and it is naturally easy for the people to be satisfied.

There are hundreds of people and all kinds of people. A small city with tens of thousands of people is still in a remote area, how does it compare with a big city with hundreds of thousands of people in the hinterland of praying for heaven.

If these big cities were to join Huang Yuchen's command, how would he manage them?

Only now did Huang Yuchen suddenly understand that he was far from his brothers, and he was not at the same level as the four city lords of the Eastern Palace.

He originally thought that he already knew the truth of returning to the world, but now it seems that it is just the truth of the child at the door.

He is still too far behind to govern the world and rule the world.

Thinking about what situation Emperor Yongning faced when he was in charge of the twenty cities of the Eastern Wangfu under the order of Emperor Yuanwu and had a population of millions.

Huang Yongning handled these things very easily, and from this point alone, Huang Yuchen couldn't compare at all.

Seeing that Huang Yuchen was stunned, the previous smile gradually disappeared, and Zhuang Lexian knew that he had listened to his words.

At this moment, the shopkeeper personally came up with two plates, each of which contained three dishes and a pot of wine.

He walked into the room, put the wine and food on the plate, saw that Huang Yuchen was a little silent, and didn't dare to ask more, bowed slightly, and then stepped back and closed the door gently.

After a while, Zhuang Lexian said, "What, have you figured it out?"

Huang Yuchen crossed his fingers on his lips, frowned slightly, looked at Zhuang Lexian, and said, "How do you know these truths?"

"You've lived a long time, so you'll know it. Zhuang Lexian looked at Huang Yuchen, laughed, and then picked up the wine jug on the side to pour himself wine, eating and drinking, and said to Huang Yuchen: "So, are you thinking about things one-sided?"

"Isn't it hasty?" Zhuang Lexian looked at Huang Yuchen, and his signature playful smile appeared on his face again.

Huang Yuchen was helpless, so he could only nod.

Because he knows that what Zhuang Lexian said is right, not wrong at all.

If you want to rule a vast territory and countless civilians, you need to think about something that is definitely not as simple as simply being good to them.

You must know that the territory of Qitian is vast, and there are hundreds of millions of people in it, which is far from being comparable to a Dongwang Mansion, let alone a small Ekang City.

"Let's learn slowly, I told you, I want to do what you want to do, where is it so simple. Zhuang Lexian took a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth, and said, "The road is long and long, take your time to find you." ”

Today, Huang Yuchen really taught Zhuang Lexian a lesson.

No, there were several lessons.

For a long time, Zhuang Lexian has been in a state of madness in Huang Yuchen's impression, his cultivation is unfathomable, but he has a clear mind, and there will be an inexplicable sense of trust with him, which is why Huang Yuchen is willing to say something to Zhuang Lexian.

However, he only learned today that Zhuang Lexian's energy was far greater than it seemed.

This neurotic madman, who doesn't know what he's been through, sees things so thoroughly.

Compared with Zhuang Lexian, Huang Yuchen after growing up feels that he is really like a child in front of him.

Picking up the flask, Huang Yuchen also poured himself a glass, and then drank it all.

A spicy feeling came immediately, and he grinned involuntarily, and hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of food and put it in his mouth, which suppressed this spicy feeling.

"I really don't understand what this wine is good about. Huang Yuchen looked at the wine jug in his hand and smelled the wine inside, he didn't know at all why so many people couldn't leave this disgusting smelling thing.

"That's not knowing the cruelty of life, not knowing the suffering of the world. Zhuang Lexian poured himself a full glass, and he also drank it all, and he also grinned, he wiped the corners of his mouth and said: "Compared with this wine, the real life you have to face every day is much more spicy." ”

Huang Yuchen didn't understand Zhuang Lexian's words too well, just after a glass of wine, he felt that there was a fiery breath in his abdomen, which made his whole body warm.

"I have seen the suffering of the world. Huang Yuchen said softly: "I also know that many people are living in fire and water, and my wish is to rescue them." ”

"Have you seen it?" Zhuang Lexian looked up at Huang Yuchen, suddenly smiled, and said: "Brother Gongzi, how can you see the suffering in the world, you call seeing others suffering." ”

"If you want to really experience the suffering of the world, unless you give up everything you have now and really go into the people, then you will know what the suffering of the world is. ”

"When you have experienced what it means to be hungry, what it means to be cold, what it means to be a hero with a penny, what it means to send people under the fence, and what it means to be separated from your wife. When you know what resentment is, what it means to be unwanted, and what it means to love and part, you will know what it means to be suffering in the world. ”

Zhuang Lexian drank the full wine again, then looked at Huang Yuchen and grinned: "Your Excellency, life, as it is, other people's lives, I advise you not to touch it, and don't say anything to save others, do what you have to do." ”

"That's it......"

Zhuang Lexian squinted his eyes, and Huang Yuchen's heart was at a loss.
