355: I have all the cakes you want [asking for double monthly votes]
Gu Chi heard this.
He looked sideways at Shen Tang without saying a word.
Shen Tang also looked back with a confused look.
After thinking about it, I didn't realize there was anything wrong with what I said.
"Is not it?"
Gu Chi's look made her unsure.
His smile faded: "No, my lord is right."
"Hahaha, I'm just saying..."
Shen Tang tried to ease the atmosphere with a smile that was so embarrassing that it overflowed. He muttered in his mind what was wrong with Gu Chi Jin'er, giving her a sense of déjà vu as a woman would after visiting relatives every month. While thinking about it, she secretly observed Gu Chi's face, and the latter His face looked as usual.
Something is wrong, very wrong!
You are so slanderous and don’t even respond?
Could it be that his scribe's ways have failed and he cannot hear?
Shen Tang guessed the source of Gu Chi's strange mood at the moment.
Then she recalled what she had just talked about with Gu Chi, and reflected on whether she had stepped on his trap. Could it be that Wang Chao hoped that she would imitate Wu Zhaode and Zhang Yongqing?
It doesn’t even look like it…
Wangchao’s evaluation of both of them is not very high.
Gu Chi didn't let Shen Tang think about it for long.
Ask a question lightly.
"What do you think of the word 'checks and balances', my lord?"
"The so-called checks and balances are to allow two or more parties to have a relative balance and form a mutually restrictive relationship."
But it was obvious that her encyclopedia-like answer could not really satisfy Gu Chi, nor was it what he wanted.
Shen Tang got it right in one step and reminded the teacher who set the question.
"Wangchao wants to know whether the 'checks and balances' are between people or between forces. Hey, why not give me a hint?"
"People to people."
"What is the relationship between these two people? Enemies or colleagues?"
Shen Tang got to the bottom of it and asked the teacher who set the question to draw a range.
Gu Chi also cooperated: "Colleagues, monarchs and ministers."
Shen Tang: "..."
Gu Chi: "Wu Zhaode defeated other family forces in Tianhai, and Zhang Yongqing took the opportunity to win over Yiru with our help. Whether Wu Zhaode or Zhang Yongqing, this achievement cannot be achieved by just one or two people. Their accounts are complete." , there are also people from these family forces. The suppression is not only to better control the people under the rule, but also to balance the factions under the account..."
This is not killing two birds with one stone.
That means my lord is still out of the situation.
Shen Tang: "..."
Gu Chi's face finally returned to its previous smile, and his voice contained a smile, but it didn't sound real warm.
"Wu Zhaode's Wu family has lived in Tianhai for generations. His ancestors have been famous for several generations. I also gained a high reputation in this generation. However, even copper coins are disgusted by the smell of copper, let alone people. Those who are dissatisfied with Wu Zhaode even go so far as to violate it. , there are a lot of people around, and even Wu Zhaode’s wife family has brought him a lot of trouble several times. For safety, we must suppress and balance to ensure our own safety."
Gu Chi knows a lot of gossip.
At first glance, there is nothing wrong with Shen Tang.
I even think Wu Xian is a little too kind.
"What is the suppression for?"
Gu Chi: "???"
Shen Tang said: "Just kill him directly to avoid future troubles!"
Gu Chi: "..."
This was not his intention.
Gu Chi wanted to argue with her: "What if I can't be beaten to death?"
Shen Tang waved his hand: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There is no one who can't be beaten to death if you put it in my hands! Whoever comes forward will be killed!"
Gu Chi: "..."
Well, okay, the lord is capable of beating him to death.
In the balance between "lord and ministers", the lord's side has absolute strength, and there is really no need to be afraid of how his ministers will jump.
Gu Chi also wanted to hear how this strange lord of his own had checks and balances between his "colleagues" or "subjects".
Gu Chi, the teacher who asked the question, made a random assumption: "Suppose there are ten important ministers under the lord's account, and they belong to three factions. The first faction is taught by one person and has the friendship of classmates; the second faction comes from the same place and has fellow students. Friendship; the third faction is brothers-in-law and brothers-in-law. The three factions appear to be harmonious and harmonious with each other on the surface, but in fact they are constantly fighting in private. How should the Lord treat them?"
"What's the conflict? Can it be reconciled?"
Gu Chi's smile froze slightly and he took a deep breath.
"There is a conflict of interest among the three factions and it is difficult to reconcile. After all, there are only a few positions in high-ranking officials. If one faction occupies more, the other two factions will have to succumb to others and gain less benefits... What if! What if the lord is The monarch inside does not have the ability to kill anyone at will. Once the faction becomes completely powerful, it will threaten you. The best outcome for the Lord is to be a puppet, and the worst outcome is to be assassinated and murdered. What will the Lord do?"
Shen Tang asked Gu Chi: "Looking at the tide, what do you think?"
"Natural means checks and balances." Gu Chi gave a reference answer, "Suppress the overly strong faction, intimidate the other two factions, and return the unbalanced three factions to a state of checks and balances. It can be used by the monarch without affecting the monarch's safety."
Shen Tang thought about this hypothesis for a while.
She said: "Buy more flour, add more eggs and water, and make the cake bigger! The popular explanation is to increase the number of 'high-ranking officials'. Wang Chao, don't you think there is something wrong with your problem? Why are there only ten important ministers? ?”
"Can't we expand enrollment?"
"I made a hundred..."
"Ah, this won't work. The agency staff is too bloated and it's troublesome. Let's reduce the number and expand the number to fifty."
Shen Tang reduced the scale of enrollment expansion.
"When expanding enrollment, we don't look for classmates, fellow villagers, or brothers-in-law. Even if we recruit people, we can't put them in the same department. If it doesn't work, we should conduct a KPI performance assessment, and those who are capable will be placed! Those with high performance will go up, and those with low performance will go down. Furthermore, the essence of checks and balances It depends on the balance between several parties, why do we have to suppress the emerging faction? Can't I support the two weaker factions? Anyway, as long as the three of them can balance... Suppressing and balancing will not be long-term in the long run, and internal fighting will be wasted. It’s easy for the outside world to take advantage of it.”
Three groups of people under the account scored 30, 30, and 40 points respectively. In order to create a check and balance, the 40 points were reduced to 30 points, and the total score was reduced from 100 to 90. If it is not balanced in the future, the scores will continue to go down. Peel... do you think people are cutting noodles with a knife?
She couldn't say whether the monarch was safe or not, but the enemy who was watching eagerly from one side really laughed...
Vicious involution has no future.
"...Lord, aren't you afraid that all three factions will become bigger?"
Gu Chi always felt that his lord's brain circuit was as confusing as Gong Xiqiu's music theory and aesthetics. It was obvious that suppressing and balancing was the best solution. It was also the safest way for the monarch.
Shen Tang narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Chi suspiciously.
"Watch the tide."
Gu Chi's helplessness was mixed with laziness.
He responded lazily: "Huh?"
Shen Tang said: "I will complain to Yuan Liang, Wu Hui and the others when I get back and tell them that you are trying to lead me astray!"
Qi Yuanliang always dreamed that she would be a gentleman.
Chu Wuhui insisted on letting her grow wildly.
Kang Shi's attitude is still unclear.
He seemed to think that the two above were all dreaming.
As for Gu Chi, he wants Shen Tang to become a villain!
Gu Chi: "..."
No, he just wanted to use every opportunity to make Shen Tang realize the importance of "checks and balances" and get familiar with it in advance.
Shen Tang snorted and said: "I will not suppress people who are loyal to me for such boring reasons. Interests are a topic that can be spread on the table, why should we be suspicious of each other because of its distribution? Moreover, I Now we have one corpse and three lives. Yuan Liang and Wu Hui are so full that they have grown up and are hurting me. Ji Shou is hard to say, but if he dares, Yuan Liang can fight for him."
Gu Chi: "..."
It's true if you think about it carefully.
Shen Tang followed up with another straight shot.
"Internal conflicts are inevitable, but we cannot cross the line. If that day comes, I will first step aside to adjust, talk to each other heart to heart, convene a meeting with everyone, and draw a picture together to imagine the future. Did you know? The ground under our feet is round, and the continent is round. There is not only the vast sea outside, but also another, or even several, wider worlds..."
"I have as much cake as they want!" Tired of internal fighting, sooner or later it will be swallowed up by a dormant third party.
Shen Tang didn't know what Gu Chi thought about these words. She only heard Gu Chi chuckle a few times and said loudly: "My lord, what you said is a bit naive. People can change."
"No, some people remain young until they die." Their appearance may grow old, their emotions may fade, but their ideals and principles are as solid as a rock.
Gu Chi sighed softly in his heart as he listened to Shen Tang's thoughts.
Then she heard Shen Tang's voice in her ears, and she said: "For example, the saying 'people's hearts are separated by their belly' will never be used against you. The voice of your heart that you hear in your ears will always be my favorite." Frank, the most straightforward true thoughts.”
Gu Chi was stunned for a long time.
Silently, he turned his face away.
Seeing this, Shen Tang couldn't help but let the motorcycle run two steps quickly, trying to go around to Gu Chi to see if Gu Chi's eyes were red: "Isn't Wang Chao moved by my sincere confession? A straight ball defeats everything, sincerely don’t deceive me!”
Then--
It was the first time I was silenced and silenced by Gu Chi.
Shen Tang: "..."
Look! Look! Tide!
Shen Tang took a few deep breaths. It was okay. Gu Chi didn't just listen with her ears anyway, and she didn't just make noises with her mouth.
Gu Chi: "..."
What a miscalculation!
In a moment of embarrassment and anger, he silenced Shen Tang. On the way back, he was forced to listen to Shen Tang's outrageous stories - including but not limited to, Snow White went up Liangshan on a snowy night to uproot weeping willows, and Black Whirlwind Li Kui She stayed in the cold kiln for eighteen years and waited for the heartless Han Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu was awarded the title of Killing a Horse, Beheading a Yellow Turban and Whipping the Post Office, Aladdin's Magic Lamp was originally borrowed from the east wind, oh, it's Zhou Yu's name written on it, what the heck!
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Under Shen Tang's torture and torture day and night, the group finally returned to Fugu City, Heyin County. Gu Chi secretly thought that if he didn't come back, Baoxin Pills would be out of food...
Qi Shan and others looked at Gu Chi's huge dark eyes, and then at Shen Tang's smiling face, and couldn't help but wonder about something. Qi Shan, who was familiar with Gu Chi's style, secretly speculated that Gu Chi had brought the master to those unscrupulous people. The place……
Gu Chi: "..."
He was really more unjust than Dou E.
Chu Yao keenly noticed that there was a new face in the crowd and asked: "Lord, who is this little friend?"
Shen Tang looked at Xian Yujian who was already stunned on the spot, briefly introduced Xian Yujian's origins, and handed him over to Gong Shuwu, asking Gong Shuwu to help arrange a place to live. Unexpectedly, Xian Yujian asked stupidly: "Wait a minute. Wait, are you...Jun Shen?"
Not the envoy sent by Lord Shen?
Shen Tang asked Qi Shan to take off his disguise.
Show your true face.
"It's me."
Gu Chi was less likely than Yu Jian to think too much and strike first: "My lord has not deliberately concealed anything along the way."
Xian Yujian: "But..."
Gu Chi: "On the way back, Lord Chi Huan has always been the 'Lord' instead of the 'Master'. Did Zi Gu not doubt it?"
Xian Yujian, named Zigu.
Seeing the confusion flowing in the young man's eyes, everyone knew that he really had never doubted it, not even once.
This is too honest.
Gong Shuwu could tell at a glance that the young man was quite capable and his talent was far above his own. What he lacked most at the moment was time and experience. He didn't know where the two good young men, the Lord and Gu Wangchao, had come from. In a few years, they would be able to stand alone. .
I'm worried that Xiao Mengxin will be bullied by these evil-hearted literary scholars and have a psychological shadow, and they will find excuses to take her away.
Along the way, I did not forget to introduce the development status of Fugu City and draw a round pie for the young man - young man, even though you are poor now, you have great potential. No matter how Gu Chi and the others try to trick you into coming here, you are absolutely right to stay!
Xian Yujian came to his senses only when he arrived near the camp.
Then he saw a burly man coming over carrying farm tools, with a piece of dirt on his leg, and said to Gongshu Wu: "Go?"
Gong Shuwu waved his hand: "I'll go later."
Zhao Feng noticed Xian Yujian.
Give birth to the heart of cherishing talents: "Good seedlings, good seedlings."
Gong Shuwu waved his hand to chase them away in disgust: "My lord dug this, I don't want to follow you to the next fence..."
Zhao Feng smiled and said: "I didn't say poaching people, why are you so panicked? What is this guy's name? How old is he as a warrior?"
Xian Yujian solemnly clasped his fists and said, "This young man, Xian Yujian, whose courtesy name is Zigu, is now a seventh-class official."
"Seventh-grade Duke, you're not bad." Zhao Feng suddenly became evil-minded and pointed at Xian Yujian and said, "That's him."
Xian Yujian: "???"
What is it about him???
"Wait a minute - this matter -"
Gong Shuwu seemed to want to stop him, but he couldn't resist Zhao Feng. Who asked Zhao Feng to be a twelfth-level left guard, two ranks higher than Gong Shuwu? His arms couldn't twist his thigh.
"What is this?" Zhao Feng dragged them, one brave warrior in each hand, to the destination. They stood on the ridge of the field and looked out, full of energy and high spirits, "Come on, together!"
That momentum is like leaping a horse with a sword and commanding thousands of armies!
Xian Yujian: "???"
He looked at the neatly organized farmland.
The expression is blank, what's going on?
A quarter of an hour later——
Xian Yujian watched the puppet soldier No. 350 transformed from Wuqi into soldiers. He was following Gong Shuwu and his soldiers, bending down and walking through the fields, pulling weeds, watering, and fertilizing. The latter's movements were skillful, even if he was the best at it. The old farmers wanted to become apprentices after seeing it.
This is different from the promise of going down the mountain to make contributions!
On the first day of coming to Fugu, Xian Yujian was doubting life.
Gong Shuwu was on tenterhooks.
My ears were filled with the loud snoring of soldiers from other camps.
I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
I am afraid that the good seedlings will be frightened and run away overnight.
It is not easy for my lord to deceive someone.
The more I thought about it, the worse I got, and I cursed Zhao Feng secretly!
Thank God, Xian Yujian was still there the next day.
People get up before dawn and study hard.
Seeing the young man's sharp shooting skills, Gong Shuwu was naturally itchy.
I couldn't help but jump off the court and invite a fight: "Come on, let's make some gestures."
Xian Yujian clasped his fists and put on a posture: "Please enlighten me."
From the hot summer to early autumn, the weather is getting cooler.
