Chapter 87: Once upon a time when the sea was difficult for water
Wang Lu rarely took off his usual calm expression when Aya asked sincerely, but instead felt a little embarrassed.
"Actually, there is no point in giving advice. I have never been omnipotent, but it just happens to be in the situation you are in... I have witnessed a similar situation with my own eyes, so I can only refer to it. What I said may not be correct.
, but it should be of reference value.”
Aya listened carefully.
Wang Lu said: "Blegonia does not need you now. It is the same principle as your kingdom collapsed. The country and society are a complex whole, composed of many different people and different classes.
Ruler, you cannot directly implement your influence to everyone. You have led troops to fight. You should be clear and wonderful strategies, and you must implement them through subtle tactics. In war,
Your intention is the officer, and when you govern the country, the intention is the bureaucratic class. What you really need to face is not everyone in Bledonia, but the bureaucrats closest to your class."
Aya couldn't help but refute: "There shouldn't be such a clear distinction between people..."
Wang Lu said: "I know, you are the founder of the Knights of the Round Table system. You have always advocated equality for everyone. But even when the Knights of the Round Table were at their peak, how many people were there? There are thousands of qualified Knights in Bledonia.
Wan, how big is the table you have to put down all people? After all, you only have more than a hundred people in front of the round table. They are your right-hand men in ruling this country, but you don’t care about their interests too much.”
"People's hearts seek profit. The knights follow you. Although there is the condensation of faith, they are not God and cannot live by faith alone. They also have to live and enjoy. In addition, as professionals, they need a lot of resources to
Make yourself stronger, this is the instinct of being a human being. Of course, I know that you are a king with a nearly perfect personality, but you cannot ask everyone to be like you - in that case, there is no way to eat in this world
Something is already there."
It is rare that Aya did not respond to this baggage, but listened silently and seriously.
Wang Lu continued: "The knights follow you in hope of getting benefits from following. They long for honor, desire for achievements, and also desire treatment that matches their achievements."
Aya interrupted: "I have never stopped them from pursuing proper interests, nor have I ever demanded that they live a life of asceticism."
"Yes, you haven't forced it, so your regime can persist until the first unification of Bledonia, otherwise you can't even pull up the most basic team." Wang Lu said, "Your problem lies in you.
Don't set an example. You are the king of knights, the king at the peak of billions of people. If you live a life of hardship and poverty, what should you do if you let the people below? You will get one thousand silver coins a month, those
Can the ministers get 10,000 yuan a month? They can only grit their teeth and get 800 yuan, but this is not enough for life.
Aya laughed: "Does I want to be extravagant because of this?"
Wang Lu said: "Except for a few examples, which king has you seen? Those poor kings are either empty-handed or Yu Qian will become the king of the country. The poor king means the entire bureaucracy.
The system is already abnormal."
"Then according to your inference, there is no morally noble king in this world?"
Wang Lu said: "To be precise, people with noble morals are not suitable for being kings, because the concept of morality is not applicable to different classes. At the same time, chivalrous spirit is not suitable for guiding kings to rule the country.
Aya has actually been moved by Wang Lu a lot, but when he heard him mention the chivalrous spirit, the girl was immediately dissatisfied: "Do you want to even reject the chivalrous spirit?"
"Not quarrel, but put it in the right position of the chivalrous spirit. A thing in the wrong position, even if it has no defects, will only have a counterproductive effect. It's like you make a fish head soaker cake to look up at the stars, that's it
A naked tragedy.”
Using this example to illustrate, Aya felt a little more acceptable: "So where do you think the position of chivalrous spirit should be?"
Wang Lu said: "It's very simple, put it on the stage of worship. The fairness, dedication, and courage emphasized by the chivalrous spirit are all beautiful qualities. The model idols established when educating the people and guiding the people are nothing more than this. But idols are idols.
, reality is reality.”
Aya said: "You mean to deceive everyone? You shout fairness and justice, but you are actually selfish and insatiable?"
"Deceive?" Wang Lu smiled, "No promise is considered deception. As long as you don't claim that Bledonia has fully realized the popularization of chivalrous spirit, the people can use chivalrous spirit to strictly demand all ruling classes, and they will not
It should be said that chivalrous spirit is not something that has been realized, but a goal that requires us to constantly strive for. Isn’t it enough to explain it like this? In fact, we are indeed working hard for it, although reality
It is still far from the ideal, but a unified Bledonia is always closer to the ideal than the one that was exploited and broken down by the church, right?”
Seeing Aya silent, Wang Lu added: "It's still the way of military formations you are good at. Suppose you meet an enemy who is unable to fight, you have to rush up and fight him to the death.
Or do you follow the steps and accumulate advantages a little bit until the final battle? There may be wins or losses during the period, and there will inevitably be compromises and retreats."
Aya asked tiredly: "But, how long will it take to truly achieve the prosperity of the chivalrous spirit?"
Wang Lu asked back: "If I said ten years would be enough, would you believe it?"
"I know you can't wait to see that day, but you have to realize more clearly that you have done everything you can, that you have created an unprecedented foundation for Bledonia, but that's what you do.
So far, doing more is to pull out seedlings to encourage growth.”
Aya nodded slightly, as if she had accepted Wang Lu's suggestion.
Wang Lu didn't urge her, and she was so quiet that she could accompany her to walk in the alleys outside Longcheng. The hustle and bustle of the city were isolated outside the high walls, leaving a small tranquility.
After a while, Aya sighed with relief, as if she wanted to say something.
However, at this moment, a muffled cry suddenly sounded in front of him. Aya's eyes condensed, and then her figure flashed, and she reached the location of the sound source.
Wang Lu sighed and quickly followed. He saw a young girl crying helplessly in a dilapidated house. The reason for this was very simple. They were once merchants who provided snow mountain spring water to the church, but later the church was expelled.
They suffered the disaster, and their father and mother were judged as traitors who supported the church. Although they had no worries about their lives, almost all the family business accumulated over decades was plundered. The two made extreme choices in grief and anger.
Only a young daughter was left, and a little bit of money that could barely live in. Unfortunately, the young woman never knew the world, and her parents' inheritance was quickly deceived, and now she is unable to survive.
"Wang Lu, is such a sin also something that must be tolerated on the way forward?"
Wang Lu did not answer because Aya actually didn't need the answer.
"Wang Lu, I think there are still some things I can do in this country. Maybe as you said, I am not suitable to be a king, but I am still a knight and can do what a knight should do.
.”
Wang Lu asked: "Do you do it alone, do you do justice? Wandering in Bledonia, regardless of the unfair things in the world, and kill all the unkind and unrighteous people in the world? With your identity as the Knight King, or the daughter of the Knight King, come.
Confronting the strict system? Aya, you are not a chivalrous spirit, but a ranger who violates the ban with martial arts. Fortunately, one day, you will find that the sword in your hand is what you built up with one hand
The huge country. And the knights who still have respect for you will stand opposite you without realizing it. Do you... want to see that scene?"
Aya was trembling all over, unwilling to accept it: "Don't you just let me do nothing?"
"You can do anything, as long as you can bear the consequences, from your perspective, this is a country you have built, you can do anything to it, but I guess no matter what you do, you won't get satisfactory.
As a result, Wang Lu said helplessly, "So, do you understand why most of the immortal cultivators in Jiuzhou Continent are not too deeply involved in the world, right? In Jiuzhou, few cultivators above the Golden Elixir realm are directly involved in things in the mortal world.
Because I can't afford it. The number of monks in Jiuzhou is one in ten thousand or even rarer than those in the mortal world. The Wanxian Alliance has done so many shit-like things, and the mortal world is only ten thousand times more chaotic.
Ah. A large part of the reason why people who practice immortals seek transcendence is that the chaos in the world is really disturbing. You see, I have run a wise sect, who is the leader, but it is just remote control command. What are the ones that are actually involved in it?
As the executive vice leader, because I am too involved, I, a professional adventurer, will be unable to solve the problem."
Aya didn't say anything more.
Wang Lu patted her on the shoulder and said nothing more. Aya was never a fool. During her time of fame, she knew more than most people in the world what she wanted to do.
Wang Lu actually doesn't think he is really much smarter than Aya. His biggest advantage is transcendence. Aya has been deeply trapped in Bledonia's persistence. Otherwise, with her knowledge and knowledge, these principles
It doesn’t need to be reminded by others. Now, everything is said, and next, I can only wait patiently for Aya to figure it out.
Next, Wang Lu did not stick to Aya's side anymore, but left her with plenty of time and space to consider. Some things need to be quiet alone. However, three days later, when Wang Lu ended his short trip, he returned to Ah
When Ya made an appointment with the inn, she found that Aya was gone.
Standing at the entrance of the inn bedroom, Wang Lu was stunned.
"Is this... abducted by human traffickers?"
After saying that, Wang Lu felt a little depressed and couldn't help but put down the travel souvenir in his hand: the honey wine that Aya loves to drink very much - a special spiritual medicine was added to the wine, which was the last method Wang Lu prepared for Aya, this was stupid
If the girl can't figure it out, she can only let her other parts be connected.
