In this ancient world where supernatural powers existed, the mainstream thinking was that the primary consideration in solving problems when encountering problems was not whether it was appropriate or possible, but whether it should be done.
In Zhang Shiping's understanding, even though the soldiers of his Yuzhou Guard are all strong, tall and brave, even one can be as good as ten, but the people of Sui and Yu are so thin that their families have no food left, and they can't even travel long distances. Getting to the dam area alive was a problem, and the government organization was extremely weak.
This matter of water control should also be done by the people of the two states. It has nothing to do with them, the loyal and brave men who need to fight for the country, use powerful force to fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield, and exchange their illustrious military exploits for wealth and kindness for future generations. .
Asking them to assist a civil servant in controlling floods is like putting a sock on their head. It is not only extremely unreasonable, but also humiliating.
It has been a long time since he came to this world, and Lu Chen naturally knew this, so he didn't bother to give reasons such as efficiency, but said directly:
"Before I answer your question, I have a few questions for you."
Hearing this, Zhang Shiping's face turned slightly cold as he didn't know what he thought of.
The first level of officialdom is overwhelming, not to mention the governor, a special being that should only be held by high-ranking and powerful people. Moreover, Lu Chen is still holding the sword of the extreme in his hand and is in charge of the military and political affairs of two Zhili prefectures. Boss.
Naturally, he didn't dare to say something like "It's fine if you don't want to say it clearly, don't worry about him."
So while he sneered in his heart, he nodded and said, "Whatever the Governor wants to ask, just ask him directly. As long as the general knows something, he will definitely tell you everything."
Xiao Yun, Su Shuang and others looked at Lu Chen at the same time. Only Fu Hua and a group of Xuanwu guards looked around with great vigilance. As long as there was the slightest movement around them, they would react in a very short time and eliminate all dangers. Invisibly, Lu Chen's safety was ensured.
Under the various gazes of everyone, Lu Chen slowly let go of the reins and said expressionlessly: "Commander Zhang, may I ask where your Yuzhou Guard's food, grass and military pay come from?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shiping immediately replied without thinking: "Of course it was issued by the imperial court."
Lu Chen then asked: "When you perform meritorious service, where do the rewards come from?"
Zhang Shiping said matter-of-factly: "Of course the coach has reported his achievements truthfully and fought for us and other dedicated people."
"Who is the one who gives the salary?"
Zhang Shiping cupped his hands toward the east: "Of course it is Your Majesty."
"very good."
Lu Chen nodded, and then said: "Then where do your Majesty's money and food come from?"
This time Zhang Shiping did not answer immediately, but was stunned for a moment, seemingly unable to react.
"Don't you know? Still don't want to say it? Then... I will say it for you."
Lu Chen stared at Zhang Shiping and said in a sonorous voice: "Whether it's food, wages, or money, whether it's your daily military training or cultivation, every time you use it, it all comes from the imperial court, from your majesty, and the imperial court's expenses come from Those thousands of common people who are not looked down upon by you, in other words, it is the common people who support you through the hands of Your Majesty and the imperial court!"
Hearing this, Zhang Shiping became more and more disdainful in his heart.
It is said that we are supported by the people, is it possible that we can also be the soldiers and generals of the people?
Bullshit about TN!
If they don't turn over their money and food to the imperial court for protection, how can they survive?
It is obvious that we are defending the imperial court, and the imperial court is protecting these ignorant Guizhou leaders, but this guy turned around and said this, which is obviously an excuse to humiliate us.
It’s so abominable!
At this time, Lu Chen said again: "I want to ask you again, Your Majesty sent you to an extremely dangerous battlefield, and asked you to fight with your life against the enemy and kill the enemy with all your strength. What did you do?"
Hearing this, Zhang Shiping finally thought about it for a moment before slowly replying: "In order to expand the territory, to defend the dynasty, for immortal achievements, for the country and the country..."
Lu Chen neither denied nor agreed with this.
After noticing the disdain in Zhang Shiping's eyes, he was in a good mood and added his own point of view——
"For the sake of peace in the world and the peace of the people."
After a pause, he continued: "In my opinion, the people support the court, the court supports you, and you protect the country and the people. The relationship between them is inseparable. If one is prosperous, both will be prosperous, and if one is harmed, both will be harmed. How come Are you saying it has nothing to do with it?"
"The army is like a fish, and the people are like water. Water can be without fish, but fish cannot be without water. Without the people, how can you have a place to live? How can the army and the people not have the feeling of fish and water?"
Having said this, he suddenly smiled coldly and his tone suddenly became more serious:
"As the saying goes, a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. You have been favored by the people. If you don't think about repaying the people, how are you different from animals?"
This is a bit harsh.
To the ears of Zhang Shiping, Su Shuang and other generals, Lu Chen was completely insulting them.
Several people's faces suddenly turned slightly red, and their breathing became much faster.
'How dare you call us beasts? This yellow-tongued brat deserves to die! '
'Don't you little thief fall into my hands! '
If they hadn't been concerned about the sword of supreme power in Lu Chen's hand, they would have rushed over and killed Lu Chen at all costs.
But there is no way, there is no if in this world.
If he acted impulsively and openly attacked Lu Chen, who was holding the sword of Ji Dao, no one would be able to bear the consequences.
Not to mention Xiao Yun, a monk who had become a second-grade official by virtue of his strength and must have advanced cultivation, the charge of "treason" was enough to make them dare not make the slightest move.
The crime of treason is a serious crime that will implicate ten clans!
Lu Chen added: "You are right when you say that I am bullying you. For such ungrateful people like you, what's wrong with me bullying you? Who can talk about benevolence and righteousness to beasts?"
Hearing this, seeing Lu Chen being so unabashed, Zhang Shiping's soldiers nearby suddenly turned red with anger and were completely irritated. Their eyes that looked at Lu Chen were bloodshot and red, and their eyes were full of anger. color.
But he couldn't stand Lu Chen's provocation anymore.
"Dog officer, you..."
One of the guards couldn't hold himself back and raised his hand angrily, wanting to point at Lu Chen.
But the next second——
"shut up!"
A voice full of anger sounded, but it was Zhang Shiping who shouted loudly and stopped the soldier from speaking out.
Then, before anyone else could make any move, he raised his hands, gritted his teeth, suppressed the anger in his heart, and bowed his hands to Lu Chen in salute, but said in an extremely cold voice: "Thank you, Lord Governor, for clearing up the general's doubts. Your Excellency is indeed wise, and you will eventually be taught."
Lu Chen glanced at everyone, but his expression remained unchanged.
"As far as I'm concerned, I'm waiting for the mouse tail juice."
After that, Lu Chen ignored everyone and led Xiao Yun and a group of Xuanji guards, led by several angry-looking soldiers arranged by Su Shuang, towards the house they had arranged.
Seeing Lu Chen's leaving figure, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang clenched their fists at the same time.
"Damn dog officer, wait for me!"
"General Zhang, don't be impulsive."
Although Su Shuang was equally angry, he restrained himself well and quickly regained his composure.
"This guy is now in the royal family, and the coach has specifically told me not to have a direct conflict with this guy, or to do whatever he wants like before. You can imagine how prosperous this guy is in the court, and even the coach has to stay away. , if we directly offend this person to death, His Majesty will be furious and the consequences will be disastrous."
Hearing what his friend said, Zhang Shiping immediately frowned, but soon relaxed.
"I understand, and don't worry, General Su. I am definitely not an emotional person."
"That's good."
Su Shuang smiled, and then whispered: "But General Zhang, don't worry too much. This guy's behavior is so eccentric. I think this guy's words and deeds are all ways to bring disaster. His holy family will not last long, so wait for him." Having lost power, we have plenty of ways to put an end to today's shame."
Zhang Shiping nodded slightly.
"General Su's words make sense, let's wait and see what happens in the future."
