Back Off, Let Me Come

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 overflowed from embarrassment. He muttered in his mind what was wrong with Gu Chi, giving her a sense of déjà vu as a woman would after visiting relatives every month. While thinking about this, Shen Tang 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 he recalled what he had just talked about with Gu Chi, and reflected on whether he had stepped on his trap. Could it be that Wang Chao hopes that she will imitate Wu Zhaode and Zhang Yongqing?

It doesn’t even look like it…

Wangchao doesn’t think highly of either of them.

Gu Chi didn't let Shen Tang think about it for long.

Throw a question lightly.

"My lord, what do you think of the word 'checks and balances'?"

"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 had to remind 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 the other family forces in Tianhai, and Zhang Yongqing took the opportunity to win over Yiru with our help. Neither Wu Zhaode nor Zhang Yongqing can accomplish this feat now. 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 is to say, my lord is still outside the situation.

Shen Tang: "..."

Gu Chi's face finally returned to its previous smile, and his voice was smiling, but it didn't sound warm.

"Wu Zhaode's Wu family has lived in Tianhai for generations. His ancestors have been famous for several generations. He himself 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 clan 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: "Killing him directly can prevent future troubles forever!"

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 so many 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: "Wang Chao, what do you think?"

"Natural means checks and balances." Gu Chiliang 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 'senior 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 it. Let's expand the number to fifty."

Shen Tang reduced the scale of enrollment expansion.

"You don't need to look for classmates, fellow villagers, or brothers-in-law to recruit students. Even if you recruit people, they can't be placed in the same department. If it doesn't work, make 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, the three of them can balance it... 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 gave comprehensive scores of 30, 30, and 40 points respectively. In order to create checks and balances, the 40 points were reduced to 30 points, and the total score was reduced from one hundred to ninety. If it is still not balanced after that, the score will continue to be shaved off... 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 fascinating as Gong Xiqiu's music theory and aesthetics, and it was obvious that suppressing balance was the best solution. It is also the safest method 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 and Wu Hui 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 unclear.

He seemed to think that both of them were dreaming.

As for Gu Chi, he wants to make Shen Tang 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 can sit up and do harm to 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 ball.

"Internal conflicts are inevitable, but we cannot cross the line because of this. If that day comes, I will first step down to adjust, talk to each other heart to heart, convene a meeting with everyone, and draw a picture together to imagine the future. Do 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 they 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, these words are 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 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 inner voice you hear in your ears will always be my favorite." Honest, most forthright honest 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 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, don’t cheat on me!”

Then--

It was the first time that he was silenced and silenced by Gu Chi.

Shen Tang: "..."

Gu! see! 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, 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 to Liangshan on a snowy night to uproot willows, and Black Whirlwind Li Kui After staying in the cold kiln for eighteen years, the betrayed Han Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu was awarded the title of Bi Ma, beheaded the yellow scarf and whipped the governor, and Aladdin's five-foot magic lamp was originally borrowed from the east wind. Oh, the name written on it is still Zhou Yu's name, what is this?

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Under Shen Tang's 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 circles, and then at Shen Tang's cheerful face, and couldn't help but wonder about something. Qi Shan, who was familiar with Gu Chi's style, privately speculated that Gu Chi might have brought his lord to some unorthodox 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 accommodation. Unexpectedly, Xian Yujian asked stupidly: "Wait, are you...Shen Jun?"

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: "Yes..."

Gu Chi: "On the way back, Master Chi Huan has always been the 'Lord' instead of the 'Master'. Zi Gu didn't doubt it?"

Xianyujian, 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. I don’t know where the master and Gu Wangchao, these two good young talents, will be able to stand on their own in a few years.

I'm worried that Xiao Mengxin will be bullied by these evil-minded literati and have a psychological shadow, and they will find excuses to take him 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 leg full of dirt, and said to Gong Shuwu: "Go?"

Gong Shuwu waved his hand: "Go there later."

Zhao Feng noticed Xian Yujian.

Give birth to the heart of cherishing talents: "Good seedlings, good seedlings."

Gong Shuwu waved his hands away in disgust: "My lord dug this up, 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-class Duke, you're not bad." Zhao Feng suddenly became evil-minded and pointed at Xian Yujian and said, "It'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 defeat Zhao Feng. Who asked Zhao Feng to be the twelfth-level Zuo Geng, which was two levels higher than Gong Shuwu? My arms can't twist someone's thigh.

"What's this?" Zhao Feng dragged the two of them to their destination with a brave warrior in each hand. He stood on the ridge of the field and looked out, full of energy and high spirits, "Come on, let's go together!"

That momentum is like leaping on a horse with a sword and commanding thousands of troops!

Xian Yujian: "???"

He looked at the neat, regular farmland.

The expression is blank, what's going on?

A quarter of an hour later——

Xian Yujian watched the puppet soldiers No. 350 transformed from Wu Qi into soldiers, following Gong Shuwu and his soldiers, bending down and walking through the fields, pulling weeds, watering, and fertilizing. The latter's movements are so skillful that even the most experienced farmer would want to become his disciple after seeing it.

This is different from the promise of going down the mountain to make achievements!

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.

Tossing and turning, unable to 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.
