A quarter of an hour later.
After chatting with Zhou Cheng for a while, Wei Changtian came out of the latter's residence with a small money bag in his arms.
Comrade Xiao Xu paid 20 taels at that time, and including the compensation money, the total was 30 taels.
It was only thirty taels of silver, but Xu Qingwan kept talking about it for a long time. She didn't know whether she should say that she was good at managing the household, or that she was spending every penny.
"Okay, let's go back." Wei Changtian said casually as he climbed into the carriage.
Wang Er, who was driving, was stunned and reminded in a low voice:
"Sir, the people from the boat club are still waiting in Huaihua Lane..."
"Oh yes, I almost forgot about this."
Wei Changtian glanced at the sky outside the car and yawned lazily.
"Ha~ let's go then."
"You're here, I still want to meet you."
...
...
From dusk to night, Wei Changtian did not stay at Tongzhouhui for too long.
After all, an organization like the Tongzhou Club is very complicated, but it is also very simple.
Although the members are all famous figures in Daning today, they have all taken the Puppet Pill, so they will never betray Wei Changtian.
Of course, some people may be tempted to betray.
However, this kind of thinking cannot be transformed into "actual action".
Because before they commit any specific "act of betrayal", the toxicity of the Puppet Pill will take effect, killing them in just a few breaths.
It is undoubtedly easy to manage such an organization that will never betray.
Therefore, Wei Changtian did not publish any long speeches, nor did he say anything that would win over people's hearts.
He only said one thing——
Although Ning Wenjun is willing to submit to the Wei family on the surface, he must be secretly accumulating strength in private.
As a result, the capital city in the future may not be so peaceful, and people like them may also be in danger.
If anyone in the same boat group is not willing to take this risk anymore, he can directly raise it, and Wei Changtian will allow him to go to Shu to serve...
He left Daning and went to Shu to serve as an official.
There are advantages and disadvantages to this choice. Originally, Wei Changtian thought that many people would want to go to Shu.
But in the end no one made this request.
In this way, Wei Changtian's first appearance at the Boat Club ended quickly.
"..."
"Uncle Li, why don't you want to go to Shu?"
On the way back, Wei Changtian and Li Can were riding in a carriage.
Because of his relationship with Li Yang, Wei Changtian did not call Li Can "Master Li", but used a more affectionate title.
The latter seemed to be quite useful, with a smile on his face.
"Master Wei, you want to ask why everyone is unwilling to go to Shuzhou."
"yes."
Wei Changtian did not deny it, nodded and said: "Not to mention whether Ning Wenjun will revolt in the future, even if it is due to the upcoming war, Shu will be much safer than Daning."
"Besides, Shu has now established a dynasty, and your official positions will definitely not be smaller than they are now."
"Isn't this a good thing? Why isn't everyone willing?"
"This matter..."
Li Kan looked at the night view of the capital outside the car curtain and sighed softly.
"Hey, young master, I know you are doing this for the good of us old immortals."
"We also understand that Shu is far more stable than Daning."
"It's just that... no one wants their children and grandchildren to be stigmatized because of them."
"infamy?"
Wei Changtian was stunned: "What kind of insult?"
"Of course it's a curse for treason."
Li Can looked at Wei Changtian and explained softly:
"Master Wei, everyone in the world knows how Shu came to be."
"Ning Wenjun was the prince before. Even though he ascended the throne in a hurry, no one can find fault with him."
"But Ning Yuke is different."
"Although her surname is Ning, she is just the daughter of the prince."
"Such a woman has now become the empress of a country, and established a new dynasty on her own... Although people in the world dare not say it, they all feel that her words are not justified."
"To put it bluntly, most of the people in Daning actually believe that Daning and Dashu should still belong to the same family, but they are just divided into two temporarily."
"The most orthodox among the two countries is naturally Daning, and the orthodox emperor is naturally Ning Wenjun."
"In this case, if we people go to Shu, what will the public talk about...Young Master should understand."
"..."
The night is getting darker, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and most of the businesses on both sides have closed their doors.
After Li Qian finished speaking, Wei Changtian nodded and was speechless for a long time.
For these court officials who value reputation more than anything else, it is indeed impossible for them to be willing to be pointed at their spines and called "traitors" by the people.
Wei Changtian can completely understand this matter.
Therefore, the reason why he remained silent was that he did not expect that the people of Daning would have such an attitude towards Dashu and Ning Yuke.
In other words, it’s not just the people of Daning.
I am afraid that in addition to Shuzhou, the people of the other thirteen states currently under the rule of Shu probably have similar ideas.
Just like Li magazine said.
People in the world still feel from the bottom of their hearts that whether it is Daning or Shu, they all belong to the Ning family.
The Wei family and Ning Yuke are just "rebels" who succeeded in their rebellion...
The concept of the royal family is deeply ingrained. No wonder there was a situation in the previous life where people "coerced the emperor to command the princes".
Faced with such a concept that "the country relies on imperial power", Wei Changtian, as a modern man, naturally felt backward.
But he also knows that it is difficult to change such universal values.
Learn from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang? Vigorously promote remarks such as "Princes, princes, generals, and Xiang Ning have the right kind"?
Pull it down. If the time comes, there will be a lot of uprisings in various places because of this, and the gain will outweigh the losses.
Oh, it's troublesome...
Sighing in his heart, Wei Changtian felt the difficulty of "ruling the country" for the first time.
He was a social worker before time travel, so of course he couldn't have had any experience in running a country before.
The online articles I have read are also very simple. Basically, the protagonist seizes a piece of territory, and then the people accept the protagonist as their new emperor without any obstacles.
But the facts prove that this is not the case at all.
Even though Shu's policy towards the people was good enough, Wei Changtian even delivered an impassioned speech on New Year's Eve with the theme "The people are more important than the king."
But even so, the status of the royal bloodline in the hearts of the people remains unshakable.
If you want to change, maybe you can only rely on time... huh?
Suddenly, Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes and thought of something.
Although Ning Yuke's bloodline is not so "pure", her surname is Ning anyway.
But what about Sui Sui? ? ?
She was a Dagan person on the surface and a time traveler in reality. She established Xinfeng with the help of Qin Zhengqiu's strength and Li Qi's prestige, and then named herself empress...
How could the common people agree with this wonderful thing? ? ?
If she had been controlling Li Qi, or simply used Li Qi as a puppet to support him in power, Wei Changtian might still understand.
But Li Qi is about to restore Dafeng in Jianchang Mansion. How can Xu Suisui win the hearts of the people under such circumstances? ?
to be honest.
Since the people of "original Daning" don't recognize Ning Yuke, why should the people of "original Dafeng" recognize Xu Suisui as emperor?
yes......
Why should she?
