Chapter 483: The Way to Govern a Country is also the Way to Employ People
Gu Chen continued to talk:
"Ningguang, you don't know something.
Bayun Island is actually the main production area of crystallized bone marrow.
The Inazuma shogunate wanted to forge swords in the heart of the God Shadow, and the most important raw material for their forging industry was this crystallized bone marrow.
In other words, if we station troops on Yakumo Island, we can curb the Inazuma shogunate's access to forging raw materials.
We have control over the raw materials, so Inazuma's most important foundry industry will naturally be controlled by us in disguise.
look.
Without having to station troops in Tadosa, and without having to worry about a conflict with the main force of the shogunate army, we can curb Inazuma's most important forging industry under this premise. Isn't this wonderful?"
Ningguang almost clapped her hands together and laughed:
"Wonderful, wonderful!"
For a moment, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Being in such a dark environment, the two of them were laughing so darkly. The environment and the laughter were really scary.
At least Paimon, who was listening quietly beside them, felt a little scared when he saw this scene and heard their laughter.
The little guy rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and shook his head.
These two people are so cunning, each one is more evil than the other!
Just by stationing troops on Bayun Island, one can win the hearts of the people of Bayun Island and rule Bayun Island in disguise.
It can also isolate the communication between the Inazuma Shogunate and Kaiki Island to a certain extent, making it impossible for the two to reach an absolute reconciliation and making it impossible for Inazuma to achieve absolute unity.
It can also curb Inazuma's most important sword forging industry, which will inevitably put the Inazuma shogunate under the control of others.
Wow, he's killing three birds with one stone. He's so cruel!
Is this the mentality of people involved in politics?
I learned, I learned, I was scared, I was scared.
Daoqi offended Gu Chen, and Gu Chen had Ningguang to help him, so Daoqi was unlucky for eight lifetimes!
While thinking this, Paimon shook his head and said nothing.
On the other side, Gu Chen and Ningguang also reached a complete agreement.
"Lord Gu Chen, have you chosen Bayun Island as the base for the troops you are sending over?"
“Well, let’s choose Bayun Island.
By the way, the way to transport the troops there is to hire and commission the Southern Cross Fleet, right?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I've already discussed this with Beidou, and she's prepared for it. You can just contact her directly.
Apart from that there are some minor things.
For example, the Qianyan Army sent over needs to be temporarily renamed the Gouchen Army.
And the person who will lead this army must be chosen carefully.
We also need to pay attention to when to switch defenses and how often to switch back and forth.
And military supply issues, etc.
I won't ask about these matters, I believe you can handle it well."
Ningguang nodded slightly:
"No problem, leave it all to me."
Gu Chen finally nodded:
"When the time for the army and fleet to depart is set, let me know. I will go with you then."
"Ok, I see."
Just like that, after talking to Ningguang and confirming that there were no more problems, Gu Chen took Paimeng and left the research office.
After leaving here, the two of them naturally went home, so let's not mention that.
From that day on, several days passed.
Before we knew it, the day had arrived when the selected group of Chiyan troops stationed at Inazuma officially set off, and the Southern Cross Fleet that was to transport them officially departed.
In fact, this day was also the day when Lei Dianying finished his studies at Gu Chen's house.
Zhongli’s private tutoring class for the Emperor on governing the country has almost ended here.
He has taught everything he should teach. It depends on how well Lei Dianxi has learned and whether he can master it.
Afterwards, Gu Chen also asked Zhongli how his studies in Lei Film were going.
Zhongli was silent for a moment, and responded:
"Lei Dianying studies very hard and has a great attitude. He is a good student."
After hearing this comment, Gu Chen pursed his lips and remained silent.
Doesn’t this mean that what Lei Dianying learned was just so-so, or even not very good?
So after Zhongli left, Gu Chen inevitably found Lei Dianying and asked her about her studies in detail.
When asked about Lei's movie, she was a little embarrassed. Her response was:
“I memorized all the knowledge that Mr. Zhongli taught me!
As for flexible application...it seems there is still a lot to be desired.
"Comprehensive understanding... no."
Gu Chen was inevitably speechless.
I can only say that it is worthy of being a Lei movie. She only knows how to memorize when learning how to govern a country. When she actually does it, it is very likely that she will make a mess of it.
So Gu Chen had a headache.
Scratching his head, he felt a deep sense of bitterness and hatred:
"Ying, what should you do then? How should you govern the country then?"
Lei Dianying looked a little aggrieved.
After thinking for a while, she said:
"Teacher Zhongli is very responsible, and he also thought of this.
So at the end of the last lesson, he taught me a shortcut to governing a country.
According to him, this shortcut is actually the most basic principle of statecraft.”
Gu Chen's interest inevitably arose:
"What principle?"
Lei Dianying did not answer directly, but turned to the last page of the notebook where she had taken notes in class.
The notebook that was full of writing flipped through the pages quickly and soon reached the last page.
Gu Chen looked closely and saw a line of words written on the last page with the thickest pen. The handwriting looked like Zhongli's.
The content of the word is as follows:
The way to govern a country is also the way to employ people.
After seeing this sentence, Gu Chen felt a little enlightened.
While nodding in sudden realization, Gu Chen praised repeatedly:
"As expected of Zhongli, this sentence is so concise, it's simply a great trick!"
Facing Gu Chen's look of enlightenment, Lei Dianying still pursed his lips a little aggrieved:
“But I don’t understand.
This sentence is obviously too profound, I don’t quite understand it.”
Looking at Lei Dian's aggrieved look, Gu Chen felt a headache again.
What else could he do? He could only accommodate Lei Dianying and give her some extra-curricular tutoring:
"This sentence is so straightforward, don't you understand?
The way to govern a country is also the way to employ people.
To put it bluntly, if you want to heal a country, the most important thing is to employ people!
As long as people use it correctly and well, everything can be easily solved!
Tsk, judging from your expression you still don’t understand.
Let me tell you this.
Ying, although you are the ruler of a country, more importantly, you are the god of a country.
No one can resist the power of God, which means that in this position you have absolute authority and no one can shake your rule.
On this basis, you don't need to do everything yourself. You can be a hands-off boss and hand over the specific matters to the people below you. Let these people do good things for you while checking and balancing each other. You only need to grasp the general direction.
Wait until they have completed the work and then you do the final acceptance.
After all, I have memorized so much knowledge about governing a country, so I shouldn't be able to do the final inspection, right?
If you use good people and are good at using them, there will be no problem! "
