I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Luo Shixing turned to look at her in surprise: "You know how to settle accounts?"

Xiao Shanshi nodded quickly: "Yes."

Luo Shixing was a little skeptical, and casually said two simple addition and subtraction within ten digits. What surprised him was that Xiao Shanshi could answer them all. This level is already at the top in Beidai County, and it should be better than many people in the Central Plains. .

He also came up with addition and subtraction within a hundred digits, but Xiao Shanshi was still able to answer, which perfectly met his requirements.

He was a little surprised: "Then you can also read?"

Xiao Shanshi nodded vigorously: "I know a little bit, but I haven't learned much."

Luo Shixing said with a smile: "It's enough to know a little, you don't need to know too much, but you still have to learn new numbers and algorithms from me."

Xiao Shanshi responded immediately: "I will definitely learn it."

Luo Shixing took a clay tablet and wrote ten Arabic numerals on it, and then wrote the corresponding Chinese characters on the bottom and said, "Go and write down these numbers."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the Xue family brothers and said, "You should learn it too."

The Xue family brothers blushed a little. They were really not very good at arithmetic. After all, they worked hard on reading and writing before, and they basically didn't dabble in arithmetic.

In order to test their level, Luo Shixing also asked two questions. As a result, the two brothers could count addition and subtraction within ten digits, no more.

He looked at Xiao Shanshi and then at Xue's brothers in some confusion: "Aren't you going to learn?"

He now has some understanding of the family backgrounds of these people. In terms of status, the two families are similar. Xiao Shanshi comes from the Xiao family in Lanling, but the side branches are basically the same as ordinary people except for the word Xiao. kind.

The Xue family brothers are of the same family as Xue Shao, Princess Taiping's son-in-law.

These people are all from good backgrounds, the family of the Xue brothers must have trained them, how could they not be as good as Xiao Shanshi in mathematics?

Xue Yuansi scratched his head and said, "We...we prefer to practice martial arts."

Luo Shixing understood, understood, these are the two scumbags.

Xiao Shanshi saw that the faces of the Xue family brothers were flushed, and quickly explained: "The Xue family brothers will be officials in the future, but I have studied housekeeping since I was a child, so of course it is different."

To put it simply, the brothers of the Xue family only need to study well, but Xiao Shanshi was raised as the head of the family. Of course, he must be able to understand the family property and learn how to increase income and reduce expenditure.

Luo Shixing nodded knowingly, waved his hands and said grandly, "It doesn't matter, let's learn together anyway."

Anyway, he has nothing to do recently, even Cheng Jingwei has nothing to do - they are all waiting for Nuomi to arrive.

Cheng Jingwei was a little surprised, and asked while those people were memorizing Arabic numerals: "You want the Xue family brothers to learn how to keep accounts? I don't think they may be able to do it."

The Xue family may not have taught, but their level is still not very good, which shows that their aptitude is average.

Luo Shixing said in a low voice: "I just don't think it's good to let Sanniang, a little lady, go there. You know that the salt mine is full of men, and they have to go through Alezhen's territory in the middle. If one or two have malicious intentions , she used to add food, but if you want someone to escort you, I don’t have time, and neither do I, let alone if that’s the case, we might as well come in person.”

Cheng Jingwei said: "Then find her two who can protect her."

Luo Shixing said: "Are you talking about the brothers from the Xue family? I think the two of them are not strong enough, their bodies are not strong, and they still have faces from the Central Plains. I'm afraid they won't be snatched away together."

Cheng Jingwei shook his head: "Of course it's not them, I'm looking for it from the Ouluo clan."

Luo Shixing touched his chin: "Then let Ale really help find two? It's not impossible."

Cheng Jing smiled: "No, choose from the elder's children and grandchildren."

After hearing this, Luo Shixing was a little surprised: "What do you mean? Why did you choose from the elder's children and grandchildren? We don't have a good relationship with the elders. They might not be willing."

Cheng Jingwei pulled him to sit down and said: "As long as the elders admit that you are the high priest, then they will be willing, and you must also remember that you are a priest, although you are related to Alezhen, but you were chosen by Vulcan, you You can have your own bias, but there is no need to really ally with anyone."

Luo Shixing was a little confused, but he still said, "But Ale and I are already sworn brothers."

Cheng Jingwei looked indifferent: "Brothers may turn against each other these days, not to mention sworn brothers, the elders must have investigated everything about you, knowing that you and Ale really didn't know each other for long, so you won't be killed because of this." alienate you."

He thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, Ale really won't be dissatisfied with you because of this matter."

Luo Shixing sat there holding his face and said, "Wait, wait, let me think about it."

He felt that Cheng Jingwei didn't just want him to show affection to the elder, he just emphasized Luo Shixing's status, and asked him to hire the sons and grandchildren of the elder's family, which should be more than just wooing.

He didn't want to understand it at first, but when he brought himself into the ancient power games he played before, he realized it.

Isn't this the legendary check and balance?

So in Cheng Jingwei's eyes, these people are already their "subjects"?

After Luo Shixing figured it out, he felt that what Cheng Jingwei said was right or wrong. They could indeed show affection to the elder, but it was all for the sake of a peaceful life, and there was no deep hatred, so why bother to put each other on the opposite side?

And Alezhen is still their ally, because if something really happens, the elders will not let the children and grandchildren stay with them, and they can let the children and grandchildren go home at any time.

Only Alzhen, who really values ​​them, will protect them.

The reasons are different, but the result is the same, Luo Shixing thought about it and explained his thoughts to Cheng Jingwei.

He felt that Cheng Jingwei had a cold feeling when deciding these things, as if treating everyone as pawns.

After hearing this, Cheng Jingwei frowned slightly, and still felt that as long as the goal can be achieved, why bother to put feelings into it?

Luo Shixing thought for a while and said, "Look, we have nothing now. The identity of a high priest is actually empty. I don't know when this identity will become difficult to use, so we need to develop our own power to gain a firm foothold, right?"

Cheng Jing nodded slightly, this statement is correct, he also thought so.

Luo Shixing continued to make persistent efforts: "Then you see, whether it is Alezhen or the elders, they actually have their own influence, and even people with a slightly higher status in the Ouluo tribe can't completely lean towards us, right?"

Cheng Jingwei replied: "That's right, so what we need to do is to gather as many people as possible to our side."

Luo Shixing shook his head: "Everyone has their own power, and following you may not be able to make it to the next level, why bother? Unless you can promise the elders or others that they will be the patriarch in the future, but in this case, you will lose Ale's real interests, and He is the current patriarch, if he finds out, we may be cold before we develop."

Cheng Jing smiled slightly: "How can you be so reckless? Find out their situation first, and then divide them into pieces, and let them check and balance each other. When their power is balanced and no one can do anything to the other, aren't we very important?" Is it? But before that, we need to have our own talents, and now there are too few people, no way."

Luo Shixing sneaked up to him and said, "Then have you ever thought about mobilizing the masses?"

Cheng Jing was slightly taken aback: "What is mobilizing the masses?"

Luo Shixing said: "There is a saying that comes from the masses to the masses. Our current identity is the common people, so it is easier to mingle with the common people, isn't it? Why don't we mobilize the power of the masses?"

Cheng Jingwei understood the meaning of the crowd, and suddenly laughed: "What power do they have?"

Luo Shixing said: "When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, everyone thought the same way. When Liu Bang rebelled, no one took him seriously. What happened in the end?"

Cheng Jingwei's expression became a little more serious, and he raised his eyebrows to look at Luo Shixing: "You mean that princes and generals have kindness? You are familiar with history books."

Luo Shixing waved his hand and said, "It's not really not, it's just that these are too famous and typical."

Cheng Jingwei looked at him with his chin in his hand: "Then what do you mean by coming from the crowd and going to the crowd?"

Luo Shixing thought about it. He learned this stuff when he was in politics class. He had almost forgotten it after so many years, but he could sort it out after trying hard to recall.

He said: "In fact, it means that we can mobilize the power of the masses. You see, for Alezhen and the elders, the identity of the priest is chosen by God, and they don't care that much. If the elders really worship Vulcan, if you listen to Vulcan, then you won’t have to choose another priest, right?”

Cheng Jingwei responded: "That's right, they only believe in the part that is beneficial to them."

Luo Shixing said: "So in fact, ordinary people have a higher sense of identity with me, they believe in this more, and it is easier to win them over. We don't need to woo them in a big way, as long as they are convinced that I am the apostle of the Vulcan. There is no doubt that they will stand by our side in case of problems, then we will win more than half."

From his point of view, the armed forces of the county government are not very good, and Ale is really the most powerful armed force of the Ouluo tribe, let alone those elders.

But how many people do they have under their command, and how many ordinary people are there?If they really wanted to fight, they could be wiped out by relying on crowd tactics.

So mobilizing the masses is the most important thing!

Cheng Jingwei didn't care about those ordinary people at first, but after listening to Luo Shixing's words, he felt that it was very reasonable.

He even asked, "Do you have any other ideas?"

Luo Shixing said casually, "Yes, of course."

Wouldn't the Maoist theory, Mazhe Denglun, which he had learned for so long come in handy?

Although many things are incompatible with feudal society, sometimes the essence of things is the same. He just needs to pick out some things that can be used in this era.

After finishing speaking, he also concluded: "In fact, the most important thing is public opinion. We must pay attention to this aspect. If we can transmit ideas to ordinary people through public opinion, then no matter who our enemy is, we will not be afraid. The elders suddenly formed a group to deal with us, and we can also split them from within through public opinion, and we will surely win!"

Well, this set of beautiful countries of later generations is often used, and it is really easy to use.

When Cheng Jingwei heard the front, he already had a feeling of enlightenment, but after hearing the back, he looked at Luo Shixing in a wrong way: "Lynx cat, you really are a genius."

These principles, he has been a king for so many years, even if many things follow this routine, he has not been able to sum it up.

Luo Shixing waved his hand: "It's nothing, nothing."

As for the Dragon Slaying Technique, every student in later generations has learned it, but whether they will use it is another matter.

Um?etc?Dragon Slayer?

Luo Shixing suddenly came to his senses and turned to look at Cheng Jingwei who was in deep thought. He just...did he...handed the Dragon Slaying Saber to Cheng Jingwei himself?
