Chapter 1,128 The Emperor, Ministers and Common People
"The people are stupid and short-sighted. They will not understand me. Tianlai Novel.|2" In the grand space of the imperial capital and the Dharma Church, the emperor complained to c.c. about the ignorance and stupidity of the people of the empire: "In addition to having enough food,
They don’t know what to do at all. If I hadn’t told them what to do, they wouldn’t have known how to build houses and build a country. They need leaders.” “Leaders can spur them to accomplish great things, build cities, and unify the continent.
Without me, they would be nothing but insignificant dust in history, but now they will be remembered by future generations as my people."
The emperor has been under a lot of pressure recently, and many people below have omitted documents about the suffering of the people, which made the emperor unbearable and hid in C.C. to pour out his misery.
"Today, some people are even talking to me, saying that I should explain my talents and strategies to the people one by one, so that they can understand the great strategy of the empire. If the people can understand my strategy, then they will not be ordinary people.
Already." The king was obviously very disdainful of the people who supported the foundation of the empire.
In his opinion, the people just need to follow him as the emperor without any reason. He has completed the grand cause of unifying the continent, which proves that his wisdom and ability are many times higher than the people. Let him worry about it.
It would be foolish to bother explaining to the people.
c.c. Just listen, she knows very well that leaders and the people at the bottom are naturally opposed to each other at certain times. Good leaders sometimes do not necessarily have to have great achievements, but they are definitely good at guiding the thoughts of the people at the bottom.
The simplest way is to guide people's vanity. The usual method is to set an example and give them the best resources. Everyone sees that someone is appreciated through work and has good clothes, animals and a house, and others will work hard too.
, but even if they create enough value, they will never get the typical prizes. Just by giving away some things, they can get returns several times, dozens, hundreds of times, and then they can use these returns to
Achieve your goals.
Of course, this is already a relatively sophisticated method. There are other methods without any guidance that rely solely on force and class consciousness to pressure farmers to stay on the land and cultivate the land, retaining the most basic food surplus and paying taxes. This kind of powerful method
The method is naturally very effective, and it is even more successful on days when the weather is good, but if there is a natural disaster, farmers may starve to death.
As a huge social group, the empire naturally cannot rely solely on one or two means to complete its rule. At this time, the empire uses inducement in terms of its military, and the second method of suppression in ruling the domestic people.
It cannot be said that Molt is not smart, but he still cannot completely control the people. All he can do is to concentrate a large amount of resources, and then share the spoils with the nobles, so that those who may challenge him can first settle down. As for
Sometimes the emperor does not consider whether the people below live or die. What the emperor wants is stable imperial power. Those who are far away from the people will naturally have generals to resist the people's rebellion. If the generals rebel against the emperor, they may not be able to stop them.
live.
"When a disaster occurred in the empire, when did I not allocate funds or provide disaster relief? Why can't they be of one mind with me?" The emperor didn't understand.
"You enjoy the most luxurious life in the world, so naturally you don't understand what they think. In fact, they also want to live like an emperor, eating the best and drinking the best. If you can let them live the same life as you,
They will naturally approve of you. If not, they will naturally have reasons to oppose you. Jealousy is also human nature, just like how you were jealous of your brother a few years ago."
... He was so wise that he dismissed the emperor with just a few words. Molt had nothing to say: "Pope, you are so wise, but what can I do? I can't endure it just because there is no war."
Never-ending complaints and criticisms." "I am the emperor of the empire. I should be as bright as the sun and the moon, and as old as the stars. I am the greatest ruler in the history of the empire. How can I be despised by these humble lambs?
His wisdom should spread across the continent like a gentle breeze."
The emperor takes his reputation very seriously. In the past, when there were wars and money coming into the account, the nobles naturally ignored the suffering of the people under their rule and only focused on their own happiness. Now it seems that they cannot defeat the opponent, and every nobleman is going bankrupt.
Maybe, they began to express their opinions to the emperor, and even poured dirty water on the emperor's head, saying that everything was the emperor's fault.
If it weren't for the emperor's aggressive military campaign, how could the economy under the rule of these aristocratic ministers be so bad? Now that the war has ceased, they have lost even their own income. After all, it is the emperor's fault.
Therefore, it is true that the relationship between the emperor, ministers and the common people is complicated. There are only eternal interests and no eternal enemies. The prosperity of the world is all for benefit, and the turmoil in the world is for benefit. These words are really not wrong at all.
The ministers used the power given by the emperor to dominate and directly manage the people. However, once the people made changes, in order to prevent the people from attacking them directly, they would transfer the people's hatred to the emperor's head, or directly use the emperor to protect their reputation.
In the name of killing people.
The emperor enjoyed the wealth and wealth of the people collected by officials from all over the country, and was extravagant, but he still wanted to leave an eternal legacy. If something happened, he wanted corrupt officials to take the blame. At the same time, the emperor also hoped that the people would serve him hard and without complaints.
The common people endure the harshest exploitation, but because they have a way to rise, they desperately want to move up to the privileged class. To this end, they do not hesitate to use any means, the most common of which is to make their children have a future.
This kind of country, this kind of world, all operate for one benefit.
c.c. I can see it very clearly, but I can't change it, because it's the same no matter what world it is. In this world, even gods exist, but what they can do is not the same. Gods can't make human beings good.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the war is not over yet." "Pope, are you willing to send out the Knights of the Order?" The emperor's expression began to show joy.
"No, now is not the time to attack because we don't know them well yet. Please be patient."
The discussion between c.c. and the emperor seems to have nothing to do with the villages near Arnus Hill, but the idea of acting for profit also affects the people of Gota Village.
Khaki was one of them. He and several young men discussed killing the members of the Self-Defense Forces who came down from Arnus Hill to communicate.
Not all people are kind. "Kill them, we can go to the Black Castle or the city and find big shots in exchange for bounties. Maybe we can even be directly named knights."
Khaki was also moved, "But they are very powerful. I heard that hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Arnus Hill were killed by these people. You see, their vehicles are not pulled by dragons, and they may also have
arms."
"What's wrong with the weapons? We are just civilians. Even the knight master will not use force against us without reason. Kaqi, doesn't your family have a mercenary? He also has weapons. Did he kill you?"
Khaki shook his head, it was true.
"As long as we plan well, we can kill two of them and hide the bodies. Then we will be there." Although the thin young man is dark, he is extremely courageous: "You guys, do you want to do it?"
Bounty and knighthood, but the other side is just a few weirdos, so do it!
