The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 197: Luo Gongqi asks the riverside, the common people worship people
Luo Yuan shook his head and refused without even thinking. Aren’t you doing this in the name of the people?

It’s not like I don’t know the benefits of doing this!
Ordinary people are easy to fool, and this method is simple and effective, but people are used to taking shortcuts and don’t know how to take the right path.

I decided to fight against heaven and earth and transform China.

Then you must take the upright path. This path is naturally not easy to walk on and there will definitely be all kinds of troubles, but you have to walk on the path you choose and the pit you dig yourself, even if you have to kneel down.

When encountering problems, they always think of taking shortcuts. It seems like nothing, after all, all the princes at that time did so, and no one treated the common people as human beings.

It’s okay for Luo Yuan to try, but people prefer to take the direct approach rather than the crooked one. If you want to achieve great things, but don’t have even a basic stance, then what great things can you achieve?

There is no need to start your own business. You can just join Cao Cao and Liu Bei. With your reputation, they dare not employ you or give you a high-ranking position.

If it really doesn't work, go to Xuchang. As long as Luo Yuan is willing, it would be difficult to become a prime minister on par with Cao Mengde. But what's the point?
This matter is very small, and it is not worth mentioning to the princes, but it is a question of conscience. If you ask yourself, this is a big matter and a test of a person's heart.

Are you willing to give up your inner persistence for a little convenience? You can give up a little today, but you may have to give up other things in the future.

Abandoning wife and children won't be a big deal then?
"That's not the case, Yuanzhi. What we want to accomplish is a great cause that shakes the world. To accomplish great things, it sounds vast and far-reaching, but how to accomplish them? No one has ever explained it clearly from ancient times to the present. I have always believed that the road is under our feet, and to accomplish great things we must start with small things. For today's matter, I can learn from others to sacrifice to the water god and fool the people, but what about our original position? If we can do this today, we may be able to do other things in the future!"

"When things don't go well, you try to fool people. I will only forget my goal in the future. If I find myself in trouble in the future, can I abandon the three armies and your followers and just run for my own life? Then what is the meaning of the word comrade that you and I often talk about?"

Luo Yuan said seriously: "Today's matter is small, but I can ask myself, our career requires us to face difficulties head-on, not opportunistic. Someone doesn't want us to live in Jiangling safely, so we have to find this person. This is the right way. I know it's difficult, but if it's difficult, can I just not do it and take shortcuts? Others may be able to take shortcuts, but I can't. I took a shortcut, can you follow my example in the future?"

Since the lord has done this, the people below can naturally do the same.

“If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. I command tens of thousands of troops, and if I want them to obey my orders, the first thing I need is fairness, and the second is openness. This is the principle that fairness brings authority.”

"We have just arrived in Jiangling and are not familiar with the local customs. Our foundation is not stable. Now that we have officially established our roots, we must proceed steadily and steadily. No matter what happens, our army must be as solid as a rock. Over time, people's hearts will be revealed. The three armies must follow my orders, take root in the local area, and advance in the local area. Only in this way can the people truly support us!"

Luo Yuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the rolling Yangtze River. "I have always believed that the ways of ghosts and gods are unorthodox. What is needed to win the hearts of the people is the upright way, to do things in a down-to-earth manner. If our army does things well and touches the hearts of the people, then the mighty image of our army will naturally stand out. If we tell the people that we are a good army and good people, will it be of any use?"

"From the end of the Han Dynasty to today, we have been fighting for ten years, with countless deaths. The common people naturally have a sense of responsibility. We are here to give them hope, not to be their enemy!"

Luo Yuan was not complaining. Only when he was in his position did he realize how difficult it was!
The road is the same, but the people walking on it are different, and the difficulties they encounter are different.

Breaking the feudal system sounds simple, but it is actually extremely difficult to do.

Not everyone has that kind of perseverance.

Xu Shu was greatly shocked and said, "I was wrong. I will pay attention to it in the future!" "No need to be like this. It is normal for people to have different ideas. You are also doing it for the good of the army. You and I are in different positions and have different jobs. It is normal to have different ideas. You should speak out your ideas in the future and not hide them in your heart. We have a common cause and ideals. It doesn't matter whether we are lords or not. We are comrades with the same aspirations."

I have never seen a lord like you!
Xu Shu smiled and said nothing more, but in his heart he was more concerned about Luo Yuan!

Are there such lords in this world? Even if there is one, he mostly thinks about himself. Who would respect others so much?

Xu Shu thought for a moment and was about to speak when he heard a thud, as if something heavy was thrown into the water, followed by a cry for help.

Several heads were seen rising and falling in the river!

Luo Yuan also saw it and quickly ordered people to rescue them. Fortunately, the warriors around him could swim. Those people had just fallen into the water and were still on the riverside. If they were a step later and were washed into the center of the river, they would probably not be able to be rescued.

Several warriors carried people back

!

Luo Yuan felt strange, and when he got there, he found that there were seven or eight little girls, their hands and feet were tied up.
It was not an ordinary fall into the water, but someone threw him into the Yangtze River.

Damn it!

Xu Shu understood at a glance that the ignorant people were using people to sacrifice to the water god.

Luo Yuan had just rescued people when a large group of people rushed over, like a dark cloud passing through the sky, holding farm tools and other things in their hands, and surrounded Luo Yuan and others.

The warriors hurriedly dispersed to block the people, and Xiong Ying even held a shield to protect Luo Yuan.

After arriving in Jiangling, Xiong Ying was no longer a fireman in the army, but became the commander of Luo Yuan's personal guards. Most of the firemen under his command joined Luo Yuan's personal guards!
A small number of them were dispersed into the army to become fire bosses and continue to train the fire-head troops!

"Scatter! Our lord is here. Anyone who dares to come forward will be killed!" Xiong Ying was filled with hostility, his voice was like thunder, intimidating the common people.

The common people were piled up like dirt, speaking in their local dialect, which made people feel headache. After a long time, the crowd dispersed, and an old man walked up to Qi and said, "We are the people of Jiangling. Today we come to offer sacrifices to the water god. Why did you offend the water god first, and now you don't allow us to offer sacrifices? If the water god gets angry, we will become fish and shrimps. What should we do then?"

Xu Shu said: "You can sacrifice to the water god by yourselves. Why do you need people? Don't these girls have parents? How can they sacrifice to ghosts and gods?"

"We have always been like this. When the water god is angry, we just need to offer human sacrifices and it will heal immediately. It has been like this since ancient times. These girls belong to the water god. Wouldn't it be nice for them to live a good life with the water god in the future?"

Good days?
Are you lying with your eyes open?
