"Junior, long time no see."
"Senior, long time no see. You see that you have lost weight again. You don't have to rush around too much. It's enough to do your best, obey fate, and fulfill your responsibilities. There is no need to rush around. In fact, it puts pressure on all officials in vain. .”
Li Zhen and Xun Shifei met. Unique greetings.
Everyone stood behind the two people, and no one dared to interrupt the conversation between them.
Perhaps many people have already seen that when Li Zhen and Xun Shifei talked, they were equals. When Li Zhen faced Du Taiping, the emperor, he often used false politeness, and sometimes even had a disdainful attitude. .
It gives people the illusion that Du Taiping, an emperor, seems to have a lower status than Xun Shifei, a prime minister.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
Although Li Zhen admired Du Taiping, he still looked down on Du Taiping in his heart.
Xun Shifei, on the other hand, has always been a gentleman's friend and treated him as an equal.
Maybe it's because both of them are young people, maybe it's because Xun Shifei has more potential than Du Taiping, maybe it's because Xun Shifei has great ambitions.
In fact, maybe it was because Xun Shifei was even willing to kill his brother and his father in order to become emperor.
He cares about rights, and is willing to give up all worldliness and be a ruthless person for rights. But from the bottom of his heart, he doesn’t want to control for the sake of control.
Xun Shifei's enlightenment and realization of the true meaning of rights was not accidental. That's just a normal result of accumulation.
Du Taiping couldn't understand this kind of way.
Li Zhen is very accurate in judging people. Maybe his conscious mind did not clearly see Xun Shifei's accurate character and conduct, but his subconscious mind has discovered his shining points. Therefore, we will naturally become much closer emotionally.
"That's what my junior said. I've been tired for a while. In fact, I know in my heart that my constant running around has put too much pressure on the officials. Everyone is anxious and uneasy for fear of being attacked by me. , I see it all in my eyes..."
With that said, Xun Shifei took off his coat and handed it to the secretary behind him, and walked into the room with Li Zhen casually: "I also understand what my junior said, pressure is actually not as good as motivation. Sometimes too much pressure can be counterproductive. , it’s better to let them have some luck and relax. I don’t want to be like this, but I can’t sit still. I wish I had ten thousand pairs of eyes and could stare at every inch of Xizhou 24 hours a day. I’m too I attach great importance to rice, but I care too much about this thing. Food is the foundation of the country and the life of the people. If I don’t care about it anymore, what will happen to the people?”
Li Zhen sat down with a smile: "But we have to compromise with reality. Your eagerness only brings pressure to the officials of Xizhou, and the passion is actually less than the pressure. Encouragement from the side should actually have a better effect."
"The effect is actually about the same. Everyone knows that if they don't do well, they will pack up and get out. So everyone works hard. The intention of my inspection is not to supervise them, I just feel uneasy and I want to walk around in person. , look. Seeing those golden rice fields with full grains makes me feel relieved. The autumn harvest will be tomorrow, which is an auspicious day. I have to go to more places, and I hope nothing will go wrong again. "
Li Zhen nodded and made himself a cup with a small teapot: "Pour it yourself."
Xun Shifei smiled and poured himself a glass.
Li Zhen raised his eyes and saw Zhang Haiyang's expression changed drastically. He was standing behind Xun Shifei with a face full of tears and a look of despair.
There was some doubt in my heart. Wasn't Zhang Haiyang still singing here when he got up early in the morning? Why was he so wilted now
But he didn't ask, he just looked at him suspiciously.
Xun Shifei noticed Li Zhen's eyes, smiled and did not mention it, and continued: "Junior, I heard that you have established a co-prosperity association? You have hidden it well enough."
Li Zhen smiled: "What do you think of the philosophy of that organization?"
Xun Shifei pondered for a moment: "It's not good for the country, but it's good for the people. In the long run, there will be a lot of benefits."
"Oh? Why do you have different opinions from Du Taiping?"
Xun Shifei smiled bitterly: "I dare not compare myself with the Emperor. It's just my humble opinion."
"Tell me."
Xun Shifei turned around and said, "Step back."
"yes!"
Everyone behind him retreated.
Li Zhen didn't speak, but a series of people from the Kyushu Academy of Sciences also consciously walked away.
When there were only two people left, Xun Shifei said: "It is not good for the country because the Kyushu Academy of Sciences has turned its elbow outward. The best and most cutting-edge technology is no longer exclusive to New Kyushu, but is shared with the whole world." The world. Originally New Kyushu was several steps ahead of the world, but now it has forcibly brought the entire world to the same starting line as New Kyushu."
"Yeah. Yes. Keep talking."
"It's acceptable to the people. Although it will have an impact on New Kyushu's international status and authority. But for the people, this is a great thing. From now on, the people of New Kyushu will go out and straighten their chests." Now, the head is raised higher. And New Kyushu sets an example, so the people of New Kyushu will be the first to benefit. When the New Kyushu government makes any decisions in the future, it will need to care about the impact on the whole world. No. Things like squeezing the people will appear again. This is the humanitarianism of binding. In order to develop, New Kyushu will take the lead in the interests of the people. A huge organization is above the country, suppressing the country's dictatorship, but forcibly binding Stop the country’s abuse of power.”
Li Zhen smiled: "What else?"
"In the long run, there are a lot of benefits."
"Why?"
Xun Shifei looked at Li Zhen blankly: "You want New Kyushu to last forever like Kyushu Academy of Sciences."
"Where do you start talking about this?"
"Only overpowering, only non-fighting. Being strong but not blocking others' way. This is the godfather-like existence. From now on, no one can take action against the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. As long as the decision-makers do not make stupid decisions, the Kyushu Academy of Sciences will benefit the whole world. And the whole world will work together to safeguard the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. It will last forever from now on. And I want the new Kyushu to last forever like the Kyushu Academy of Sciences."
Xun Shifei drank up the tea and said: "Times have changed, and the sea has changed. New Kyushu is now looking brand new, but no one can guarantee who the next generation of decision-makers will be. What about the next generation? Will one generation be inferior to the last. Maybe New Kyushu The current technology is several steps ahead of the world, but no one is a fool. Other countries will also work hard one day, and they may be able to catch up soon. At that time, New Kyushu, in the eyes of more powerful countries, They are fat sheep. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. If another big country rises, New Kyushu will be a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. There will always be wars, and there will be wars. New Kyushu cannot remain undefeated for ten thousand years. What will happen after you die? There will be another birth. Are there people like you? What if such people are in other countries?"
"So, New Kyushu is no contest. It is bound to the whole world when it is most powerful. In the short term, it seems that its prestige has been reduced. But in the long run... the name of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences also carries Kyushu. As long as the Kyushu Academy of Sciences is superior to the world, New Kyushu will be safe. As long as New Kyushu does not initiate a war, and as long as the leader of New Kyushu does not make stupid decisions, it can last forever!"
Xun Shifei looked at Li Zhen deeply: "That's why I am the only one in the Jiuzhou Party who has not spoken out. Because I support you."
'Pah, pah, pah;'
Li Zhen clapped silently.
