Three Kingdoms: Everything Can Be Gamified

Chapter 267 Difficulty and Confusion

Liu Bei has indeed been a little confused in the past few days. He has implemented Zhang He's methods of governing the local area since his founding, his own knowledge, and the suggestions of military officials. The results have indeed solved many problems...

But the further he went towards Juancheng, the more problems he faced.

Cao Jun seemed to be deliberately holding him back and taking advantage of those innocent people.

A large number of people who have lost their daily necessities and don't know how to survive the winter come to ask for help.

"Gongyu, the widow is very confused." Liu Bei found Jushou, and Jushou was a little haggard. During this period of time, he was also worried about it. "So many people, if we continue to take care of them, we can only go here this year. Originally , the widow thought that Yanzhou could be brought down."

"Your Highness, of course, if a person shows a strong character, he will be easily used by others." Ju Shou replied.

He already roughly knew what the other party was thinking, which was to use Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness to the people to hold back.

The purpose is unknown, but it may be to give the main force more time to prepare... Couldn't it be to use these people to bring down Liu Bei?
Greedy and lustful, eager for quick success, cowardly and reckless, and small-minded can all be regarded as weaknesses, so politicians must first hide their weaknesses.

The official accent, which appeared in such an environment, is a kind of self-protection.

You can't reveal your preferences casually, otherwise you will be caught up in what you like, and if you accept something, you will have to pay something.

But when is benevolence and righteousness also a shortcoming?
Jushou felt that Cao Jun's counselors were crazy, as if they couldn't see anything beautiful in this world.

If there is a problem, then of course there is no problem. Strictly speaking, this is also a shortcoming.

As a politician, the people of the world are his own lambs, and the petty officials are his own shepherds. Officials manage the shepherds, and the managers of the industry are in charge.

The governor is like the overseer in the ranch, who has the power to report to the master, but the actual power is not as good as the prefect who is in charge of specific affairs.

The state pastor is different, that is, the regional manager, and the prefect is the department manager.

From the perspective of the constitution of a country, no matter how civilized it is to hide it, this is essentially what it is.

Those at the top don't care what the Lamb thinks.

Not to mention, it is still the feudal era.

It's just that the life of the lamb is too high, which leads to a sharp drop in production efficiency and seriously affects the interests of the rulers.

So we can only give them a better environment and better forage, of course, all of this is based on how much profit these lambs can generate.

Calculate the cost and benefit, and do it if it is cost-effective. Rather, if the benefit brought does not exceed 20%, there is no need for improvement.

But Liu Bei's situation is a bit special, he revolves around the interests of the people.

This makes the officials a little bit less like the official class, but like a service class, like nannies for the people.

In Ju Shou's view, this is even more deviant than Zhang He.

After all, deducting the messy reform measures, Zhang He is still a very qualified feudal statistical class ideology.

Now Cao Cao is taking advantage of Liu Bei's weakness to attack the people and make Liu Bei exhausted.

In order to take good care of these poor lambs, these officials are much busier than Liu Bei.

After all, Liu Bei is the decision maker, but in a word, they, the implementers, have to work harder to take care of the people.

But the question is, why do I have to work hard to become an official and in turn have to serve the people?
As a result, many officials, especially those from Chenliu and Dongjun who had taken refuge in the past, did not understand, and felt that they had lost power, and even became worse than ordinary people.

Complaints and renunciation may spread unknowingly.

Jushou can feel it, but there is no way to change all this, because as long as Liu Bei cares about the people, the situation will only get worse.

Therefore, he could only remind him tactfully, hoping that Liu Bei could understand this a little bit.

"If it doesn't work, General Zhang can take charge of Yanzhou's affairs. In the final analysis, His Highness will be out for two or three months, and the accumulated government affairs, as well as the newly conquered Nanyang and Yingchuan also need to be governed." Ju Shou gave a step.

Regarding the current situation in Yanzhou, perhaps if Zhang He comes over, he can quickly solve it and even defeat Dongjun before winter.

The problem is that Liu Bei is somewhat entangled. This time, he intends to give other generals some meritorious service, but how can he do it now?
If Zhang He comes over, then the big head belongs to Zhang He again.

At most, I want to practice and experience, and I can't always rely on Zhang He to deal with things.

No matter how capable he is, he only has two arms, two legs and a head, and he is too busy!
"Do your best!" Liu Bei ordered, "Before winter, we will fight wherever we can."

In fact, he couldn't fight at all, because on that day, there was turmoil in the county town where he was stationed. A large number of rioters attacked the military camp, causing at least thousands of casualties.

Most importantly, they burned the war equipment accompanying the army. "Why is there chaos?" Liu Bei angrily shouted. So much equipment, as well as many crossbow bolts and other materials were burned!
"There are officials in the city who are instigating, and some people among the people are responding to the instigation, so there is chaos." Jian Yong, who didn't sleep well, came over. He was the chief secretary of the army.

"It's Cao Cao. They may have mixed with some dead soldiers among the people!" Ju Shou immediately thought of something.

"But why are the officials..." Liu Bei didn't understand. The officials who had problems were theoretically replaced by him.

"Probably the rest of the officials have some resentment in their hearts." Jushou replied.

Not only here, officials in many places are dissatisfied.

If you seek refuge with the strong, you will make progress together with the strong, rather than being a nanny to take care of those weaklings.

Liu Bei made them uncomfortable, and they made Liu Bei uncomfortable.

In other words, now that Liu Bei occupies Chenliu and several counties in Dongjun County, the common people may praise Liu Bei, but the officials think that it is better when Cao Cao occupies here.

What responded to all this was a riot, assisted by local officials and instigated by dead soldiers who mixed in with the people.

Maybe that's the way it is said, although the common people have received benefits, they also recognize Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, at least these two words have been said more than once.

But subconsciously, I feel that officials treat me so well, so they must want more from me.

Anyway, this inherent impression cannot be reversed in the past dynasties, and the higher authorities simply don't do good people anymore.

China has summed up this truth after 5000 years, and the way of the emperor has basically been fixed.

I don't know if I want to change it or not, but I probably know that even if I change it, I won't get much benefit...

So Liu Bei was at a loss. He didn't know whether he was doing right or wrong. He only knew that all the siege equipment had been destroyed.

Unfortunately, there are only five or six thousand soldiers on my side, while Cao Cao has more than [-] soldiers on his side.

Not to mention, when Xuzhou was attacked, a Han family clan named Liu Ye chose to join him.

He almost called his friend Lu Su over, but Lu Su hated Cao Cao's massacre in Xuzhou, so he didn't come over.

But Xuzhou was Cao Cao's territory, so he chose to go south to Jiangdong...

After all, the roads going north and west were blocked: going north were Cao Cao and Liu Bei who were fighting, and going west was Yuan Shu who was attacking Jiujiang.

Before winter officially enters, Cao Cao is afraid that he will launch a counterattack soon.

Under such a premise, Liu Bei called Zhang Fei over, and formally appointed Huangfu Li as the prefect of Nanyang, Wang Lie as the prefect of Yingchuan, and left Zhang Junyi to guard.

At the same time, he sent a letter to Zhang He in Bingzhou, explaining his confusion.

It seems that he can answer his doubts.

Five days later, a letter came back from Bingzhou, saying that a batch of grain and grass was about to be mobilized.

The letter quoted a passage from "Xunzi": A king is like a boat; a common man is like water.Water carries the boat, and water capsizes the boat.

Finally, at the end, I added a sentence: So don't hand it over to those who will be happy because of your destruction!
"That's not right!" Liu Bei didn't understand, "So I'm the boat, and the officials are the ones who steer the boat, so why don't I..."

　Sorry, there was a power outage at night, from ten o'clock in the evening to three o'clock in the morning.I'm also a little lazy, and I should start coding between six and ten o'clock.

　　I just registered my daughter during the day, came back and took a nap, and it was already five o'clock.

　　I wanted to have fun and start typing at ten o'clock, but who knew there would be a power outage until after three o'clock.

　　The battery of the mobile phone is almost dead, mainly because I am not used to typing on the mobile phone.

　　The result is that I have only coded one chapter so far. I thought about it, sleep first, and get up to make up a chapter. It really doesn’t work. I just treat it as a day off today. There is really no way.I should go out to the internet cafe and type...

　　'Don't hold the oars...' This sentence is from Nakajima Miyuki's "Space Boat", but I think it fits the current situation.

　　The people are the water, the king should be the captain, and the management is the boatman.

　　If the boatman is excellent, even if the water surface is turbulent, the stability of the hull can be guaranteed.But if someone deliberately made a bad move, such as directly digging a hole in the bottom of the ship, wouldn't that speed up the capsizing of the ship?

　　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!
　　Let’s not talk, go to sleep and try to get up to code…
