Chapter 33 Touch and Bottom Line

After being delayed for more than an hour in Daling Mountain, it was already dark when Chen and Xun arrived in Dongguan County, and the gates of the city were closed, so they had no choice but to stay in an inn outside the city.

"Feed the horse good bean feed, and be careful. If it is lost, you will be unable to eat and carry it around!" Lu Hui shouted when handing the horse to the boy.

"Don't worry, officer, we promise to take good care of your BMW!"

With the current productivity of society, there is no difference between these two horses and two BMWs in later generations, and may even be more precious than two BMWs.

The two of them rented a room with a big bed, where one could watch and the other could rest.

"You go to sleep first, I'm not sleepy yet." Chen Xun said.

After Lu Hui lay down to rest, Chen Xun got up and came to the courtyard of the inn.

The moonlight at night was very bright, illuminating the whole yard brightly. I asked the boy on duty for directions to the stable in the backyard.

Xiao Hei and Lu Hui's horses were still eating. When they saw Chen Xun coming, they snorted as a greeting, then lowered their heads and continued eating.

Chen Xun stepped forward, grabbed a handful of grass from the trough, and fed it to Xiao Hei.

In this life, many people died at the hands of Chen Xun, and even more people died under Chen Xun's orders.

It can be said that most of those who died before were innocent, either pirates or villains, but they were still able to cope with it psychologically.

This time was different. I hadn't seen it with my own eyes before, but I didn't feel it. When I saw those hungry people with my own eyes during the day, Chen Xun was really touched.

Chenjiazhuang used to be poor and didn't have enough to eat, but it was no better than the hungry people today.

Looking at those hungry people, except for the tall man and his sister, the others are not very tall. The highest estimate is only 1.6 meters.Moreover, those hungry people were too thin, comparable to the scrawny African refugees seen on the Internet in later generations.

These people were already pitiful enough, and he once again added fuel to their misery, forcing these poor people to become homeless and forcing them to block roads and rob to survive.

From this point of view, what is the difference between you and those corrupt officials?Aren't they all bad characters who "force people to go to hell"?
Since his rebirth, he has always thought that he is a positive character, the leader who leads the villagers to prosperity. Even if he fights and kills externally and eliminates dissidents internally, it is for the sake of a better life, and he is a positive character.

But today's reality slapped myself hard.

To those Shiotou, he is a complete villain!
In my last life, I was born in New China, grew up under the red flag, and never killed a chicken in my life. How could I have changed like this when I came to this world?

Chen Xun looked at Xiao Hei with pure eyes in front of him under the bright moonlight, and reflected on himself, what exactly caused this big change in mentality and cognition?

Those salt households are also raised by their parents, they also have loved ones, relatives and friends, and they are also living people. How can I use their lives as a bargaining chip in order to obtain the management rights of Hainan Salt Gate?

Is there no other way to achieve the goal besides this shortcut?

Have!
It's just that I'm used to this way of doing things.

I am used to hiding myself behind the scenes to solve problems, to imposing my will on others, to being arbitrary, and to being self-righteous.

Maybe this kind of behavior can help you go further in troubled times.

But this kind of behavior will never lead to the end.

You can be ruthless, but you should have a bottom line.

Harshness should be used on the enemy, rather than bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Just like facing the magistrate of Dongguan or facing the Sihu soldiers in Guangzhou, you should give them your ruthlessness instead of turning around and bullying those poor salt households, which has achieved the purpose of diverting the enemy's attention.

Perhaps confronting these powerful enemies will bring huge losses to him, but if he doesn't change his mentality, how many times can he divert the enemy's attention?How many times can you get lucky?

I may not have superhuman IQ, but I have a golden finger, and I have advantages that no one else in the world can match.

If you can't outwit it, just use hard steel!
Anyone who dares to stretch their claws towards Chenjiazhuang will have their claws chopped off. Even if they are bloody and their limbs are broken, it is better than being a dwarf mentally.The Yuan Dynasty in later generations is a clear proof. Cavalry and archery plus artillery fire, no matter how wise you are, you can push them all aside.

For example, in later generations, New China had to forcefully clear the four major dungeons in North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Zhenbao Island before it could forcefully enter the Wuchang.At that time, even if I tightened my belt and endured hunger, I never gave up once.

I was really wrong.

"Mr. Lang, why are you here?" A voice called from behind.

Chen Xun knew it was Lu Hui from the voice and asked directly without turning around: "Lu Hui, do you think I was wrong and shouldn't let Ke Lei become a pirate to attack Lantau Island?"

"I don't think it's wrong for you to let Ke Lei become a pirate, I just think..." Lu Hui didn't dare to say anything.

"Speak boldly." Chen Xun turned around and encouraged.

"I just think it would be more attractive to have Ke Lei attack the officers and soldiers directly?" Lu Hui said.

Yes, it was the essence of bullying the weak and fearing the strong that made me choose to bully the weaker Yanhu instead of directly choosing to fight my enemy.

Even Chen Yu dared to directly attack those archers who came to find fault in Chenjiazhuang with a knife.

I was angry before that the scholars in the school were heartless, but now it seems that I am not the same either.

"Yes! It would be great to attack the officers and soldiers directly." Chen Xun sighed.

There is no regret medicine in the world, and the decisions that have been made cannot be undone. The only thing I can do is to double compensate those poor people.

On the road of Chenjiazhuang's development in the future, perhaps more innocent people will be affected, which is unavoidable.But Chen Xun secretly made up his mind that he must never take the initiative to bully them again, and he must try his best to aim his gun at his enemies.

"Mr. Lang, you go and have a rest. It's very late."

Looking up at the moonlight, I guess it's already the fourth watch.

"Okay, let's go back together."

The two went back to the room together, and when they were going to sleep with their eyes closed, Chen Xun made a decision:

"Lu Hui, I changed my mind."

"what?"

"I won't go to the Dongguan County Magistrate tomorrow. I will go directly to rescue my uncle and then go home."

"Really? I feel very aggrieved to give our hard-earned money to those dog officials."

"Yes, how can our little Chenjiazhuang fill their desire gap?" Chen Xun sighed again, he couldn't see it as clearly as Lu Hui.

"happy!"

"Also, Lu Hui, if you have any ideas in the future, don't hold it back, just tell me directly. One person's wisdom is short, but everyone's wisdom is wise. You can help me check for mistakes and make up for them, so that I can make fewer mistakes." Chen Xun said warmly.

"Okay, Langjun."

. . . . . .
"Lang Jun, you seem to have changed."

"Where has it changed?"

"Becoming more manly."

"roll!"

(Finally the turning point comes)
