I Transmigrated as the Novel's Delusional Tyrant Villain

Zhao Xin found himself transmigrated into a novel, becoming the great villain, a delusional tyrant. This tyrant was obsessed with wine and women, lingering in the imperial harem and never attending...

Chapter 206 The Sage Says

But when it really came to this, Zhao Xin couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Especially when he was asked whether he had visited the local community, he looked stunned and became even more furious.

Needless to say, this man definitely has no idea what life is like for the people under his rule.

Or maybe they know it but just turn a blind eye.

He couldn't help but snort coldly.

"What about light taxes and levies, what about educating people through virtue? To put it bluntly, it's just the same old idea of ​​ruling by doing nothing.

If all the officials of the Great Qin were like you, ruling by inaction and doing nothing, then why would I need you, and why would the people support you meat-eaters?

"This... the saint said..."

Zhang Yuan's face turned pale when he heard this, and he wanted to explain himself, but all he could say was some saintly gibberish.

Zhao Xin was also impatient to listen and waved his hand, saying, "Stop it! Didn't your sage tell you that the people still need to eat?"

He just said this in anger.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan thought about it and said seriously: "I did.

The sage said: "Sufficient food, sufficient soldiers, and the people will trust you." He asked: "If you must give up one of these three, which should you do first?" He replied: "Give up the soldiers." Zigong asked: "If you must give up one of these two, which should you do first?" He replied: "Give up the food." Since ancient times, everyone has died, and without trust, the people cannot survive."

He shook his head as he spoke, and it seemed that he was almost the same as the corrupt scholars of later generations that Zhao Xin knew.

At this time, Mr. Ning, who had been lying there trembling, actually interrupted and said, "I think we should add some etiquette, and etiquette should be the first priority!"

Zhang Yuan interrupted, "Yes, Mr. Ning is right. We should teach people etiquette. Only when people know etiquette can they understand shame, respect for superiors and inferiors... and learn to be content with poverty and enjoy the truth... Ah, good, beautiful!"

Both of them were lying there, without looking up, but they were chatting with each other.
