After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

Pei Jiaoran looked at Dang Chenghong with a profound look on his face. The issues he mentioned deserve people's attention. The central government's competition with local governments for profits is not just limited to the same state, but also the central government and all the states and counties in the world. And Xuancuo and Jinfeng are also one of the means of striving for profit. As he said, no matter who is appointed governor of Tongzhou, the essence is the same. Because the people under the rule will be carried forward by the decree.

Therefore, there is not much difference between the two weapons. The only difference lies in how to use them. However, if the vassal town is heavily armed and recognized by local political forces, it will threaten the center.

And justice recognized by the world is far less important than strength. Because even if the rules of justice are determined by the winner, the strong will not last forever, and successors will re-write the rules. Only strength is eternal. It is the cornerstone of the country and the law.

Pei Jiaoran held his lips and looked serious, "The king's way is based on benevolence, and the hegemony is based on strength. The king's way of governing a country with benevolence can enrich the people, but the country is small and weak. And although the hegemony rules the world with force, it can enrich the land and then enrich the people. So from From ancient times to the present, it has always been the case that hegemony comes first, then kings, and finally the overlords rule together. This is the same from the central government to the states and counties. However, excessive local power will unbalance the power, lead to war and civil strife, and ultimately lead to the collapse of the country. It was destroyed and the people were displaced. "

"Because the local government is greedy and only wants to embezzle the central government's financial interests. The central government is in charge of the branches and national affairs. If there is a poor grasp of the actual situation of each branch, the actions will inevitably deviate, and conflicts will easily occur. When conflicts occur, violence will be difficult to stop. Therefore, only when the center is strong, the localities will not dare to make mistakes. Now, all the domineering and kingly ways are in my hands."

Staring at Pei Jiaoran, Dang Chenghong suddenly smiled, "I really didn't expect that Pei Shilang would have such an idea. Qin Feng conquered the six countries tyrannically and unified the currency and text measurement. After that, he followed the king's way, and it was still only a short two years later. Perish. This shows that once the power is too strong, it will be destroyed. Pei Shilang knows that there is a saying from the predecessors, 'Tao is governed by politics, and justice is punished, and the people are free from shame. Tao is governed by virtue, and justice is governed by etiquette. Shameless and dignified.'"

Pei Jiaoran sat upright and the smile disappeared from his eyes. Only the vast snow-covered wasteland remains. She had to start to re-examine Dang Chenghong in front of her and think about his purpose of coming today. At this time, the entire post fell into silence, and only the gentle sound of the wind chimes on the eaves could be heard.

Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes to look at the shadow cast by the sun on the ground, and held his lips.

She caressed the Jun kiln porcelain cup under her palm with her fingers, "Let's not talk about kingship and domineering for now. How about telling a story to Mr. Dang?"

After the rain, the sky clears, and the sun falls on the world again. The streets are coming to life one after another, looking out the window. People who had experienced the civil unrest the night before could be seen walking through the streets with joyful expressions. The direction to go is the direction of the porridge shed. The skylight that fell through the gaps in the clouds fell on them, moving with their steps, and seemed to be able to clear away the haze that had been lingering on them for a long time.

She was too lazy to discuss domineering and kingly ways with Dang Chenghong. Because it is true that they conspired with Dang Chenghong, and the civil unrest is also true. If this matter reaches Chang'an, it will be impossible to do anything good.

Pei Jiaoran said: "When I was young, I traveled to various places. I was fortunate enough to go outside Yanmen Pass and heard a story told by the herdsmen. The grassland is vast, and there are several herders in one place, and the shepherds raise many sheep. But once I met Natural disasters often lead to a sharp decline in the number of sheep. In order to ensure a better life in the coming year, the shepherds can only burn the forest and hunt. But the sheep were frightened and fled. A new shepherd passed by here and not only picked up a They herd sheep and saw the fertile grass here, so they planned to settle down here. However, they were driven away by the original herdsmen because they felt that outsiders were not qualified to contaminate the land that they had managed for many years."

"But what they don't know is that this outsider was sent by the Royal Court. All the Royal Court wants is to negotiate with the original herdsmen and implement new decrees, but they feel that the new herdsmen want to divide their rights. In order to consolidate themselves The herdsmen decided to unite together, and they united with the demon gods on the snowy mountains to deal with this bold herdsman. As a result..." Pei Jiaoran paused, "As a result, the demon god was eliminated by the god invited by the new herdsmen, and they ushered in another A new crisis arose. Because the royal court was attacked by the enemy, in order to survive, the royal court raised its butcher knife against the original herdsmen."

"As for the new herdsman, after he noticed the crisis, he sent an invitation to the original herdsmen to join hands. In the end, the two parties shook hands and made peace, facing the crisis together, and were later accepted by the royal court. The sheep also lived a comfortable life. "

After saying this, Pei Jiaoran smiled calmly. Whether pastors or courts, they all need to rely on violence to establish rules. Because violence cannot escape two conclusions, one is that blood flows into a river, and the other is that it returns to the starting point. But if you want the shepherd and the flock to continue changing, you need to satisfy the shepherd's demands and rights at the same time, but not let the shepherd's power exceed that of the royal court.

Only by maintaining a balance between the two can the sheep live a comfortable and stable life.

"The flock has a leader. Doesn't the leader lead the flock to seek benefits?"

"Yes. But rather than relying on their own efforts, they still prefer to find a stable place with rich water and grass under the leadership of a shepherd." Pei Jiaoran looked at Dang Chenghong thoughtfully and said solemnly: "And I remember the Party As the old saying goes. The sheep don’t care who the shepherd is, they will all be whipped anyway.”

Pei Jiaoran looked indifferent, but his words were true.

Under her gaze, Dang Chenghong bowed his head.

"Sister Pei's story is not told well."

"It doesn't matter whether it's good or not. What's important is that something has happened. Since it can't be undone, you have to look forward." Pei Jiaoran's voice was clear and clear, and a ray of light fell on her face. "Shepherds on the grassland must learn to recognize the facts. How? Because sheep are also afraid of pain. When you whip too much, the sheep that can't bear it will run away, and they will not come back again. The pasture will be deserted, and new grass will no longer grow in the deserted pasture. And the sheep will be lost. Shepherds of the flock will be treated like losers.”

To this world. Either the new decree will be implemented from the top down to meet the demands of all parties, or it will be overthrown by Tai Ah, who will overthrow the top.

Dang Chenghong finally raised his head and looked at Pei Jiaoran in front of him seriously. He had to admit that the man in front of him was more far-sighted than he thought. But he also wants to compete and increase the chips.

"But you want to get the sheep without giving equal chips. There is no such a loss-making business in the world." Dang Chenghong stroked Chenwei, "What's more, as a shepherd, how can you care about the interests of the sheep? ?”

Pei Jiaoran looked at him with a smile, "Yes, no one in this game really cares what the sheep think, they only care about the benefits brought by the sheep. So in fact, there is no essential difference between you and me, it's just that we The control of the sheep is different. If you and I shake hands and make peace, we may still be able to live here forever. Otherwise, when the butcher's knife falls, this land will also usher in a new shepherd."

The sheep don't care about the shepherd, and the court doesn't care about the new shepherd either. What he values ​​​​is whether the sheep can bring benefits under the driving of the shepherd.

Pei Jiaoran lowered her head and took a sip of tea, looking at her eyes reflected in the tea soup. The power of light and darkness flashed in the eyes, and finally disappeared.

Her Dang Chenghong's conversation has come to an end. Whether the negotiation can be completed depends on the attitude of the other party.
