Hearing Naruto's unceremonious words, Hongming suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and said, "Master Lu is only young and vigorous for a while. I believe that as long as he guides him properly, he will become an excellent daimyo in the future."

"Excellent daimyo? You don't need to tell me this kind of cliché." Naruto said irrefutably: "I don't see any quality of an excellent daimyo in him at all. He likes to act on his own will and doesn't think before doing things As a result, even the most basic truths are not carefully checked, just relying on a set of truths imagined by myself, without hesitation, pulling the whole country to play house with her. I don't think this kind of person can become an excellent person in the future. Great name."

"It's just that Lord Lu is still relatively young." Hong Ming retorted, holding back his anger, "Since Master Lu came to power, the Kingdom of Birds has been peaceful, and Lord Lu has a tolerant character, is kind to others, and has never done anything violent. It's just a matter of pretending to be an undead warrior, and it's just a moment of youthfulness, and it's just caused some small riots, it's not a big deal."

"It's not a big deal..." Naruto chewed a few words, then looked at Hong Ming coldly and said, "Then do you know that the so-called not a big deal in your mouth has already affected the people of Bird Country?" People have had a big impact."

"Nonsense!" Hearing Naruto's words, Hongming couldn't help it anymore, and yelled at him with a wave of his sleeves: "The people of Birdland obviously live well, I don't know what you're talking about!"

"Very good?" Naruto sneered, and then told Hong Ming about Jing Yilang's family, and finally stared at Hong Ming and said, "Is this what you said was good?"

Listening to Naruto's description, Hong Ming was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "This is something that can't be helped, this is the necessary price that Lord Lu needs to pay for his growth. In the long run, for the country of birds, It's a good thing to say."

"Necessary price?" Naruto almost laughed angrily: "What kind of necessary price is this, because the people of the entire bird country have to bear a heavy price for it because of a boring kid?"

"I admit that this may have caused the people of the Bird Country to suffer a little, but the things you said are only a few." Hong Ming regained his calm expression and said, "For most of the other people in the Bird Country, it is just a plus. A small tax is nothing serious, and it's only this year."

Naruto looked at Hongming silently, showing a look of disgust and said: "I understand, in your eyes, I am afraid that these people in the capital city are the people of the country of birds, and those people who are oppressed by the landlords are not at all. Can't even be counted as a human?"

According to Naruto's understanding, the situation of Jingichiro's family is considered to be at the middle level in the village. At least they can afford to eat, and if they are lucky, they can save a little bit every year. In this way, Jingichiro's family can no longer support it. It is impossible to imagine that those conditions are even worse. What should poor people do.

Hearing Naruto's pungent words that didn't give him any face, Hongming's face turned pale, he opened his mouth, and finally he could only spit out a sentence silently: "This is a necessary sacrifice, and it's just a special situation. It will definitely get better in the future."

Naruto showed a mocking smile and said: "Since it is a necessary sacrifice, why not let those so-called dignitaries in the country of birds make sacrifices, for wealthy families like them, such a small amount of money is nothing to worry about , as long as they deduct a little from what they usually eat, it will be worth the sacrifice of countless low-level people, right?"

Hong Ming frowned immediately when he heard Naruto's words, and said displeasedly: "These people are the cornerstone of the existence of Bird Country, how can they act rashly?"

"What a cornerstone!" Naruto seemed to have heard some wonderful remarks, and couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "It turns out that a very small number of nobles are the cornerstone of the country. This is the first time I have heard this statement. It really opened my eyes. what."

"That's the case in itself. What's so strange about it? If you haven't heard of this statement, it can only prove that you don't read much. Read more books in the future." Hong Ming said in a natural tone: "The bottom layer No matter how many people there are, they are nothing more than a mob, and only under the leadership of nobles can they effectively form a country in the true sense,"

Naruto looked at Hongming in surprise. To be honest, he had always said to others that he should read more books. Today, it was the first time he met a guy who advised him to read more books. This made Naruto very excited.

So Naruto simply sat up straight, and asked Hongming as if asking for advice: "Can you tell me in detail? I'm really curious about your statement."

"Why is this so difficult?" Hong Ming was not polite, and started to talk with a wave of his sleeves.

"If you want to form a country, people are only the most basic and simple element, but what is more important is to form a political system that can effectively manage the country." Hong Ming said endlessly: "What do the people at the bottom know? No one will manage them and teach them how to do it. They can't even form a basic country. By then, they will only become homeless refugees. I'm afraid it will be a thousand times worse than now , It’s like grazing cattle and sheep on the pasture, the nobles are the shepherds among them, managing the cattle and sheep while also protecting the cattle and sheep, otherwise they will only be eaten by wild wolves outside without bones left.”

"The nobles are the most important part of the country." Hong Ming continued: "Only they know how to manage the country and how to distribute benefits reasonably. Their role alone is equivalent to tens of millions of ordinary people. They They are smarter, they know more things, and they should naturally have more power, what is there to say, if those foolish people manage it, I am afraid that the country will be over within two days."

"Only the nobles know how to manage the country? Because the nobles are smarter? So they deserve more rights?" Naruto said with a mocking smile, "What do you mean?"

"That's right." Hong Ming nodded as a matter of course and said: "If the country is a body, then the people are the limbs of this body, and the nobles are the brains of this body. Of course, the brain is more important than the body, just like... "

Hong Ming seemed to be trying to find a suitable explanation, frowning and thinking, "It's like..."

"Those who work hard will rule others, and those who work hard will rule others." Naruto saw Hongming's hard thinking, so he simply said it for the other party: "You want to say that, right?"

"That's right!" Hong Ming clapped his hands in surprise, then looked at Naruto with a slightly appreciative look and said, "I have to take back what I said before, it seems that you have read some books, and you can say so Brilliant words."

"No, I just read this sentence from a book." Naruto said with a smile: "Then let me ask you, why do you take it for granted that nobles must be smarter than ordinary people? Where does this come from? ?”

"There is no need for reason, because the facts are like this." Hong Ming said calmly: "It has been proved countless times that noble families are more likely to produce talents. Among the descendants of a hundred nobles, there will be at least a dozen who understand Managerial talents can also be distributed to various industries among the rest of the people, and among the ordinary people, perhaps there will not be one talent in [-] people."

"That's the truth?" Naruto seemed to have heard something that made people laugh, and he patted his thigh happily and said, "You say that's the truth? It's easier for noble families to produce talents. Could it be said that these nobles can speak well from birth? Knowing how to run a country from birth? Hahahahahaha."

"What's so funny about that?" Looking at Naruto who was overjoyed, Hong Ming frowned in displeasure and said, "What I said is the truth."

"In that case, let me ask you a question." Naruto stopped laughing suddenly, then looked at Hongming seriously and said, "How many of the one hundred noble families you mentioned have received education since childhood?" , all kinds of teachers have been lecturing since childhood, and among the [-] ordinary people you mentioned, how many have gone to school and how many have been literate?"

"You don't really know that nobles are born with it, right? Ordinary people can't do it because they are stupid? Isn't it because they have no one to teach?" Naruto said with a playful smile: "Hong Ming, you are also A smart man, as a country's counselor, don't make such low-level jokes with me."

Hearing Naruto's words, Hong Ming seemed to have been poked into something, and said silently: "I admit that what you said has some truth, but there are only so many resources, of course we must concentrate the only resources we have. on someone more talented."

"So what is the basis for saying that people from your noble family are more talented!" Naruto slammed his palm on the floor and roared angrily, "Is it the so-called facts you said, or You think ordinary people don't deserve education! Huh?!"

After Naruto roared, there was a long silence in the quiet room, and Hong Ming seemed to have nothing to say. After staring at Naruto silently for a while, Hong Ming finally said slowly: "The nobles can pay more to get More resources, that's understandable."

"Hehe." Naruto sneered, and said with deep disappointment in his eyes, "Is this the answer you gave me? Hong Ming."

Taken together, Hong Ming's words actually mean exactly that.

Because people from aristocratic families are smarter and easier to produce talents, they should have more rights.

The reason why they are more likely to produce talents is because they have the best educational resources since childhood.

The reason why they can occupy the best educational resources is because they have more rights in their hands.

A perfect logical closed loop, seemingly impeccable.

This is a cold circle, a circle composed of power, blood, and greed.

And this cold circle firmly isolates all other low-level people outside, forming two completely different worlds inside and outside the circle.

Originally, Naruto thought that he could hear some different remarks from Hongming, which would rekindle a glimmer of hope for a world that had gradually become hopeless, but it was obvious that Naruto was disappointed. "I understand, so the next question." Naruto looked at Hongming coldly and said, "Why don't you stop the current bird country daimyo's actions? Are you the murderer who killed the previous daimyo? I think you Should be the clearest."

"I've already answered this question." Hongming looked at Naruto inexplicably and said, "Master Lu is just—"

"Don't play those sloppy eyes with me!" Naruto interrupted directly: "You clearly know that she doesn't have the ability to become a daimyo!"

"It seems that you don't know yet." Naruto looked at Hongming mockingly and said, "Let me tell you the truth. The current daimyo in your eyes, Lord Lu, died half a year ago. It's just his twin sister, Toki."

"What!" Hong Ming stood up in shock, and said in disbelief, "How is it possible!"

"Nothing is impossible." Naruto said blankly, "If you think about it for yourself, you will naturally be able to figure out all the changes that have taken place in this daimyo since the death of that toki half a year ago."

Hearing Naruto's words, Hongming's face became gloomy, and he began to think seriously about what Naruto said.

Since Master Lu’s twin sister Zhu Lu died half a year ago, the other party has been living in seclusion, and there is a bamboo curtain between him and his subordinates, and no one will serve him when he takes a bath and changes his clothes. , Behavior has also changed drastically since then.

Hongming originally thought that it was just because of the death of Master Lu's sister, which caused a big change in personality, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that what Naruto said is the truth.

Looking at Hongming's changing face, Naruto knew that the other party had already made a judgment, so he said: "Now, knowing that the person in power now is not the same Heron as before, do you still want to be like this?"

Hong Ming was silent for a long time, and finally said with difficulty: "Even Master Toki, I believe that she will become a qualified daimyo after going through all the experience..."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Naruto's eyes again, and he said, "So in your heart, the people of Bird Country, their happiness, their finances, their lives, all of these are nothing compared to the blood of a royal family, right?"

Naruto didn't expect Hongming to answer, because the other party's previous choices had already told him the answer.

"I have nothing more to ask." Without waiting for Hongming's answer, Naruto said directly in a cold tone: "I only have one request now, you have to solve this boring farce as soon as possible, so that everything in the country of birds can get back on track. "

"I can't do your request." Hong Ming frowned and said, "I said, this is the necessary price for the growth of a daimyo—"

Naruto interrupted Hong Ming unceremoniously again and said, "Then if I say, I know who is the real murderer who killed the former Daimyo?"

Hong Ming almost jumped up in surprise again, looked at Naruto excitedly and said, "You really know?!"

It has to be said that Hong Ming encountered more surprises today than in the first half of his life.

"I know." Naruto said lightly, "It's that eminent monk Meng Zong, very simple logical reasoning."

Hong Ming couldn't help stretching his neck and said, "How can you see that?"

"It's very simple, as long as you count who has benefited the most after the death of the previous daimyo, you will naturally know. Words can deceive people, eyes can deceive people, but real benefits can't deceive people." Naruto calmed down. Said: "After the death of the previous daimyo, his son Lu succeeded the daimyo, and you continued to be your counselor. Neither of you changed much, except that Meng Zong was directly promoted to inspector, and it also separated the trust between you and the current daimyo." , It is clear at a glance who is the murderer."

Supervising is not a small position. You can raise objections to the actions of the current daimyo, and even propose dismissal.

Naruto's theory is actually not difficult, but it takes a bit of talent to figure it out. After Naruto's advice, Hong Ming quickly figured out the trick, and then looked at Naruto with admiration.

Hongming thinks that his intelligence is considered to be an outstanding group of people, otherwise he would not be able to be a counselor of a country, but now Naruto let him understand what is beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people.

But there is one small problem.

"Meng Zong? I suspected him too, but there is no evidence at all." Hong Ming frowned and said, "And when the previous daimyo died, all the doctors proved that it was a natural death, without any trace of other people's harm, just by your words How could it be possible to arrest Meng Zong?"

"If the doctor can't find it out, it doesn't mean we can't find it out. I guess Meng Zong used some special method." Naruto said directly: "Some of my friends have special abilities. Just take us to the burial place of the previous daimyo." If you look somewhere else, you will naturally be able to find clues."

The person Naruto said is naturally Neji, with eyes that can see through and even see Chakra, all conspiracies and tricks are invisible.

"Is that so?" Hong Ming temporarily believed in the other party's approach, after all, there is no harm in trying, then looked at Naruto and said, "Then what is your request?"

After Hongming finished speaking, he showed an expression of asking for a price. In his opinion, what Naruto said before was all for this moment, to highlight his importance, for the sake of can obtain more benefits.

What kind of people at the bottom, what kind of aristocrats, they are so righteous and awe-inspiring just now, but they are not fully exposed yet.

Thinking of this, Hong Ming couldn't help showing a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

He said so much, but his heart was still full of business.

Let me see the ugly state of your unscrupulous behavior for profit.

"My request?" However, after Naruto glanced at Hongmei, he said blankly: "My request has already been said, you all quickly end this boring farce, and let everything in the country of birds get back on track. "

Hong Ming, who was originally sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, was stunned for a moment after hearing Naruto's words, and then he showed an unbelievable expression and said, "Then what? Gone?"

Could it be that the other party is waiting for a price?Let me bid, so as to get the most benefit?

Hong Ming thought silently in her heart.

It is very likely that if you bid too low, you will suffer a loss. It is the smartest way to let the other party bid and then counter-offer based on the other party's bid.

It's just that he guessed everything wrong. Hearing what Hong Ming said was true or not, Naruto got up impatiently and said, "I'm not in the mood to play charades with you right now, let's go."

Hong Ming watched Naruto get up and go out without hesitation, and when Naruto was about to open the door to go out, he finally realized that Naruto really had no other demands, and couldn't help but said loudly: "What do you mean! You do this What is the picture?"

"I understand, you want to get the friendship of the Bird Country, right?" Hong Ming made a look of sudden realization: "It's a smart way, one asking price can only get the benefits once, but if you get the Bird Country Friendship, especially Master Toki's favor, then you can continue to—”

"Enough!" Naruto suddenly shouted, and interrupted Hong Ming roughly: "Stop talking!"

"I'm already working hard to restrain my dislike for you."

Naruto looked back at Hongming with disgust and said, "Don't use your ridiculous, ignorant theories to understand me anymore. Everything I did was not for you rubbish at all."

"I'm not here for you.

Keep it in my mind! "

"Not for us?" Hong Ming stared blankly at Naruto who slammed the door, and subconsciously said:

"Then who are you for?" After Naruto walked out of the room, Neji outside the door, Tiantian, Xiao Li and the other three looked at Naruto with worried eyes when they saw Naruto coming out.

No way, it was the first time they had seen Naruto in this state. It seemed that his whole body was filled with a low pressure of negative emotions, and just now they heard that there seemed to be noise in the room outside the door.

"Naruto..." Xiao Li looked at Naruto worriedly and said, "Are you okay..."

"Did that Hong Ming say something outrageous?" Ning Ci's face darkened and said, "Do you want me to teach him a lesson?"

Tian Tian looked at Naruto hesitantly, with worry in his eyes.

Looking at the worried eyes of the three people outside the door, Naruto realized that his current state seemed to be a bit wrong, he quickly adjusted his state and said with a smile: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry."

"But just now..." Ning Ci said worriedly, "Did you quarrel with Hongming in the house?"

"It's not a quarrel, it's just some differences of ideas, it's normal, and there's nothing to care about." Naruto said with a strong smile: "But fortunately, we have already negotiated and reached a basic consensus. Let’s go and settle the matter of the undead warrior, and I may have to trouble Neji to check something with your white eyes.”
