Yuanshen: The sea of ​​sand at the beginning, straight to the seat of God

Chapter 107 - Interest and Fear

An unknown good or bad thing happened in Sumeru City.

Rama himself admitted that the gods had granted Shahai the next right to rule.

Since it is the ruling power of the sand sea, although the rainforest people are allowed to be in power in the governing body, more of them are of course the desert people.

This is what should be in the question, and it doesn't matter.

The key thing is the announcement from Rama.

The gods will form a new governing body, and the Holy Order will change from a governing body to the simplest academy.

The ruling body will form a new [Six Sages], and Rama has become a great sage, and the [Six Sages] group is supervised by gods.

The former is very simple, and it can be regarded as destroying the foundation of the scholar society.

Scholars are regarded as a special profession in the eyes of the Sumeru people. According to Tinari or Sano, scholars will even form families with scholars with the same research direction in order to study academic papers.

Being able to achieve this level is closely related to the general high income and high treatment of scholars.

If there is something good on the top, it will be great on the bottom.

This kind of treatment is actually because the Holy Order Academy is an institution for cultivating scholars, and at the same time directly manages the entire Sumeru.

If you enter the Holy Order Academy, perform well, and find a good teacher, you will have the opportunity to directly become the ruling class of Sumeru in the future.

A lot of people obviously don't go on this road to explore the unknown.

But now, the Holy Order has become an institution that simply trains students, and it is no longer the same as before, which can directly enter the ruling class of Sumeru.

This directly abolished a major value of the Holy Order.

But it's a good thing.

The Holy Order is simply defined as a college, and the value of a college is students, teachers, literature, classics and the like.

These things are chips that don't need to be destroyed and need to be accumulated over a long period of time.

This also means that, in the eyes of the new ruling class, the Holy Order can exist independently as an academy.

The storm that swept Sumeru has nothing to do with most of them.

Being able to survive is the greatest good thing in times of chaos.

And another thing...

"Although the great sage is still the one with the highest power, the so-called six sages are at least six people who govern together, right?"

They were refreshed.

There are two situations in politics alone. One is that your prestige is too high, and the people below have never thought to refute your opinion. You said that this is the truth, and the bottom will implement it immediately without doubt.

In another situation, it is simply relying on tyranny and force deterrence, not caring about other people's opinions.

No opinion, and don't care what other people think.

Rama is the latter.

Although he should be the greatest hero in the history of the desert, this does not prevent him from being the enemy of many powerful people.

The enemy depends only on interests.

Rama alone has power and kills people as a deterrent. He is indeed hated by many people.

This would have been an irrelevant matter.

If you are hostile, you will be hostile. Rama's power comes entirely from his own force rather than being surrounded by anyone.

Unless they can make the mechanical army mutiny, anyone's hostility will be useless.

"The situation has changed now!"

Babel stood up, "The six sages are relatively equal in status, and with the presence of gods to supervise them, can he still do those things as he pleases?"

"He has already compromised with the gods. With Rama's temperament, it is obvious that his fists are not as big as Rama's. It is even possible that his own hiding place has been discovered by the gods, so he compromised so quickly."

"Since he can't deter the gods, is it wrong for us to obey the will of the gods to check and balance Rama?"

The perfect verbal seduction needs to refer to tone, pause, volume, gesture, expression, which is the essence of speech.

Attract empathy through physical performance and verbal pauses.

Of course, the most important part is actually interests and deterrence.

Keep pace with Rama and jointly govern Sumeru.

There are gods as a guarantee of force to ensure that everyone will not be executed by Rama because of dissent.

With benefits and guarantees, don't you want to take action?
[It's time to take the bait. 】

Babel laughed inwardly.

She knew that these old friends of hers would definitely be tempted.

It can't be said that they are stupid, after all, they don't know anything about the inside story of the gods.

In the end, it is not necessarily possible to say that they were bad, because Rama really planned to keep silent.

Rama and Babel described his next plan.

"I know you want to be on top, you want to hold power."

The communication between the adopted son and the adoptive mother is always like this, they are the kind of people who desire power, and they are wary when interacting with each other.

Well, not quite right, Rama has changed.

"But if I'm here, none of you will be able to rise to the top, or in other words, there's not much difference between whether you rise to the top or not."

"You know you still mentioned this to me." Babel's expression remained unchanged, "Why, do you need those old friends I betrayed?"

Rama's plans were rarely complicated.

Force deterrence, interest temptation.

Simple, but almost impossible to miss.

Few people are not greedy, few people are not afraid of death.

And Rama never looks for these people, so he succeeds every time.

The logic is simple, and of course it is easy to guess.

"Yes, they are your old friends, I want you to betray them, of course I will pay more."

Rama didn't look up, "All fools know that betraying an ally requires a price, and I know it too, so I will give you a bargaining chip that you can't refuse."

"For example?" Babel became interested.

She believed Rama's words.

If he said that he could not refuse the benefits, then he would definitely not be able to refuse them.

"One of the six sages in name, but actually a great sage, how about it."

Rama said casually.

When he promised these things, he didn't even change the action of flipping through the literature and classics in his hand, but Babel looked stunned as if struck by lightning.

"The real great sage, yes, yes, the nominal great sage can only be you."

Her head is still working, but her logic has broken down a bit, "But why?"

"If I continue to be a great sage, the result will be no different from my being a king."

"Anyway, you will never refuse my proposal." Rama raised his head, "It doesn't matter, but what Nashida wants is a relatively peaceful and stable whole."

"He can't be an only husband by himself, and I don't want to be an only husband."

He had a gentle smile on his face, "After all, the gods don't like it."

"What does He not like to have anything to do with you?" Babel narrowed his eyes slightly, "Have you ever cared about what other people think?"

These words are not logical.

When did you, Rama, care whether others like it or not?

"He paid a very precious bargaining chip, and I took the bargaining chip. All the sacrifices have been rewarded, and there is even something owed."

Rama's smile became brighter and brighter, "You don't understand what I'm telling you, just tell me whether you want to be a great sage or not."

"Are you bewitched?" Babel came up with a punch, "Or were you hypnotized by the God of Grass with dreams?"

Rama raised his hand to block it, and subconsciously activated the power of the fire element.

The long knife slashed down, and finally hovered over Babel's head.

"You're getting stronger."

The phantom behind Rama has been fully formed, no longer an illusory shape.

The red-gold human figure purely condensed by the fire elemental force overlooks Babel below, with a blazing flame burning on the blade.

"If you weren't my adoptive mother, sometimes I would really like to give you two punches."

Rama sighed, "It's just a very simple truth. You pay for what you get, but there are too many things to gain."

"If it's a business I cooperate with others, and the investment gets an unexpected rich return, I don't care if I get more. It's good luck to make a lot of money in the business."

"But no, it's an extra return on someone else's own subsidy."

"I wanted it greedily but knew it was more than my investment, so I had to make concessions elsewhere to compensate the other party for their losses."

The human form dissipated, and Rama's expression returned to normal, "I describe it this way, can you understand?"

"Understood, it's normal for you to say that." Babel didn't have the slightest fear of escaping death, "Do you know what you were thinking when you said that just now?"

"Let's not talk about it, I don't want to know." Rama refused.

"Like a little boy in love, my good son." Babel didn't give up laughing.

Rama didn't even respond.

"In short, this thing is very simple to do."

"You go and advocate the rise of those power-hungry people to challenge my position."

"And I will study academically in the Holy Order, and occasionally leave Sumeru to go to other countries, but in short, I will not participate in the management of government affairs."

"The power has been handed over to you five sages. I will support most of your proposals and ensure that you become the actual great sage."

Further strength made Rama completely owe Xu Mi's management.

He didn't even want to pretend, and directly mentioned this matter to Nasida.

Nashida also saw that this was Rama's own desire, but He still exchanged Rama's silence by "promising you with one condition".

Rama was very greedy.

Just like what happened to Dishiya, he didn't really need Dishiya to do anything, and being hostile to [Legacy of the God King] was part of the plan.

It doesn't matter if you save someone casually, but since I saved someone, I must find some benefits from you.

Otherwise, I won't do it smoothly.

It's the same situation.

When he said it, he asked you for benefits.

Nacita gave him an immediate step down, allowing the rule to be relatively fair.

If Nasida doesn't give it to him... he will probably leave if he doesn't give it to him. After all, ruling is really meaningless to him.

But the premise of getting benefits is to do something after all, and one should be rewarded for doing something. Nashida still chose to fulfill Rama and leave.

"After all, he is my sage. Even if there are some scoundrels, the gods should take responsibility."

With this in mind, He owed Rama another condition.

So Rama started to form and select a new batch of six sages overnight, and at the same time planned to yo-yo as soon as possible to restore Sumi to normal.

Take the benefits and do things.

Cooperating with fools can take money and do nothing, but dealing with gods is not the case.

You have to do your best.

Babel didn't know about the deal, but she could see that Rama was serious.

For a moment she began to weigh whether to accept this condition.

Rama's conditions do not have the possibility of the other party's pure profit.

He is so serious about ruling, if he doesn't do well, he will really kill people.

Even with the title of adoptive mother, Babel has to admit that Rama has given herself enough.

Rama could hardly be expected to show mercy if a mistake was made.

However, even though she knew the danger, Babel couldn't refuse in the end.

She doesn't even know the source of her desire for power, but she knows she can't live without power.

In Tanit, she wanted to become the mistress. After Rama came to power, she used her relationship with Rama to become the leader among the dignitaries in the sand sea. Now the opportunity to become the actual great sage in the entire Xumi territory is in front of her eyes.

She knew the danger, and she couldn't refuse.

"Then it's successful, you don't need to worry about too many things." Rama thought for a while, "If you don't know how to rule, then keep silent and let the people below do things."

"If they succeed, you will recognize and reward them, and take a share of the credit by the way."

"If they fail, you will punish them and show an attitude that has nothing to do with you."

"The great sage doesn't need to do things?" Babel couldn't understand.

When she was a tribal elder, she was much busier than Rama described.

[You think everyone is you, bastard! 】

Babel cursed in her heart.

"Yes, but I have never ruled before, and I don't know what is the right way to do it, so I usually do nothing." Rama is very frank, "This is my experience, you don't need it and you can do whatever you want."

"But there is a price to pay for doing things, and you won't fail to understand."

He has never been in charge of government orders directly related to the rule, but is responsible for the part of war.

The former is handed over to others, and if it can’t be done well, the people will be lifted down and replaced by a group of people.

The latter is the price he can afford, success is best, and he can afford failure.

Only do what you are sure of, Rama has such a creed, and he did so.

In this way, Rama completed the account of such an important decision concerning the six sages in the middle of the night.

Babel goes all out and starts fooling her old friends.

The division of power must be dominated by the desert people.

The six sages of this generation will have desert people and rainforest people at the same time. After a hundred years after Nashida came to power, it will probably be possible for these two people to become Sumerians.

The desert people can only be recruited from among these people at present.

Heartbeat is inevitable.

Babel's reasoning has benefits and guarantees. Without knowing the inside story and really thinking that gods can deter Rama, of course they want to go up.

"It's not up to you to say that."

Someone still suppressed his heartbeat, "You are Rama's adoptive mother, and you and Rama are a natural alliance of interests."

This can actually be said directly that your power comes entirely from Rama, why would you dare to backstab him.

But it hurts to say it too directly. It seems that Babel's position is entirely due to his status rather than his ability. In fact, Babel will firmly sit on the position of the mistress of the tribe in the future. In this team, from falcon to mistress, she is indeed the one with the most outstanding skills.

Despite being slightly tactful, Babel still remembered the other party's name and planned to settle the score after the fall.

"How can the things he can give me be more precious than the things I snatch with my own hands?" Babel was very straightforward in discrediting Rama, "Everyone knows Rama's desire to control power. I'm his adoptive mother, and he still doesn't give much credit."

"Before Rama, did the power you possess come from who bestowed it, rather than you taking it away yourself?"

Babel sneered.

In such a big environment like Shahai, if you want to be superior, you can't rely entirely on the gift from the superior.

Elders have equal rights, no matter how they are trained, they will not allow their subordinates to sit on the same level as themselves.

The rest of these distances are still up to you to snatch.

The person who can take the top position without fighting or grabbing, probably has to be found in a dream.

Power needs to be snatched, and this answer has gained a certain degree of approval.

They remained silent and continued to weigh the pros and cons.

"Can the gods really suppress Rama?"

The interests are clearly seen, and what Babel said is clear enough.

But the disadvantage... The disadvantage is nothing more than reaching out to power, and may be chopped off by Rama's claws and others.

Only names and utensils cannot be fake.

Such things as power are theoretically endowed by the people, but in reality, when you really hold such a thing, you will only regard it as your own.

It is not given by anyone, it is yours.

When others want to take it, of course you will resist.

They will rebel and so will Rama.

Standing up to grab power is not a problem, the problem is how to end up after grabbing things.

"Rama originally wanted to become His Majesty the King of Sumeru." Babel seemed to think of something interesting, and couldn't help laughing, "But now he can only become a great sage, and even wants to be with him." The other sages rule together."

"Of course he is not satisfied, but he can only accept it."

It doesn't make sense to reason with them. Everyone has their own reasons.

Just look at what you pay and what you get.

Of course, the king and the great sage among the six sages, His Majesty the king has the higher position.

Rama gave up a higher position and chose to become a great sage. It couldn't be because he had a cramp in his head and suddenly didn't want to be His Majesty the King, could it?

Someone must have held him down and forced him to give up his power!

Having said that, I couldn't control my heartbeat.

There are risks, of course, but benefits are always accompanied by risks, and risks rarely become a stumbling block to benefits.

"it is good."

They looked at each other, gritted their teeth and spit out the answer.

This answer put a lot of pressure on them because Rama was really unscrupulous.

But after frankly admitting their pursuit of power, they suddenly relaxed and began to think about how to get [-]% power.

Interest and fear are against each other, and there is never an absolute winner.

They are afraid of the deterrence brought by Rama, but the interests of the superiors also tempt them to make a choice.

And this time, interest trumped fear.
