What is this?
Li Wei's attention was indeed attracted by the stack of rice paper covered with English words.
She blinked her watery almond eyes and looked at Gu Jinzhi curiously.
This guy is so mysterious, what is he doing?
Gu Jinzhi said softly: "Absolute power is not omnipotent."
"If you don't control it and just keep killing people, not only will you fail to save the people, but will instead cause greater chaos."
He paused and continued his analysis: "In today's Dajing Dynasty, the imperial power does not extend to the countryside, and the order in the local area is entirely maintained by the gentry."
"If this class is eliminated and no new forces fill the power vacuum in a short period of time... have you considered the consequences?"
Li Wei was shocked when she heard this.
She is actually not stupid. When she first came here, she was quite smart and could think calmly when encountering problems.
But since when, she has become more and more lazy to use her brain...
[What a sin, what a sin... I can't use my superpowers all the time. It's time to use my super brain...]
Listening to Gu Jinzhi's calm analysis, the evil fire in her heart that was about to explode weakened temporarily.
Yes, it would be satisfying to kill all the gentry, but what next?
The grassroots rule of the Dajing Dynasty would probably be paralyzed in an instant.
No matter how strong she is, she is only one person.
We can protect the capital, but what about the many prefectures and counties in the north and south?
By then, war was raging everywhere and the people were living in misery.
I am afraid that the lives of the people will be a hundred times more miserable than they are now.
Seeing that Li Wei's expression had eased and that she seemed to have taken his words to heart, Gu Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
He continued in a gentle voice:
"Whether you want to 'beat the landlords and distribute the land,' or implement other more radical changes."
“First, you must have an executive team that is absolutely loyal, efficient, and deeply understands your intentions.”
"Otherwise, any policy will be nothing but castles in the air and will not be truly implemented."
Li Wei listened attentively and nodded subconsciously.
Her gaze fell back on the stack of rice paper and she asked:
"Is this your plan? And it's written in English? You have a strong sense of confidentiality."
Gu Jinzhi smiled calmly: "These few days, whenever I have free time, I will write down some ideas."
As he spoke, he handed the stack of rice paper to Li Wei with a hint of deep meaning: "Here, take a look and see if it works."
Li Wei was about to curl her lips and say, "I don't understand this stuff."
I never went to school properly in my previous life, and in this life, there are no English courses in the martial arts high school I attended.
But she was in a state of high intelligence at the moment, and she instantly realized that Jiang Xue had been in England for four years.
If I say I don’t understand English, isn’t that tantamount to exposing myself?
Li Wei's heart tightened, but she remained calm on the surface. She just coughed lightly to hide her guilty conscience.
She suppressed the tingling sensation on her scalp and said, "I won't watch it! I've been killing people all day, I'm exhausted. How can I have the energy to watch this?"
Gu Jinzhi's heart was slightly moved when he heard her voice with a hint of tenderness.
In an instant, I completely forgot all the little thoughts I had just had.
Forcefully suppressing his turbulent emotions, he cleared his throat, placed the rice paper back on the table, and said gently, "I've roughly divided the reform plan into three phases."
Li Wei's eyes widened, her ears pricked up, but she muttered to herself, "Fortunately, fortunately, it's not Humphrey's four stages..."
"The first phase is expected to take three months."
Gu Jinzhi's voice was steady and clear. "You need to personally go to the provinces where the bandits are most active and find their core leaders. You can either kill them or subdue them."
"Then, we will take over the elite troops of the bandits and the heavy troops under Xu Yuncheng's command."
"However, reorganizing the troops is too complicated and a waste of time."
"I thought, you should wait until you find Min Zimo before setting off. Let him take care of the military organization, and you just need to deter and eliminate him."
"And then?" Li Wei asked with great interest.
Gu Jinzhi's gaze lingered on her eager face for a moment, and he continued:
"While you are away from the capital, I will use the power of the Duke of Li's Mansion as the core and try to control the entire Yujing."
"The factory guards are now in good working order after your cleaning."
"As long as we capture the Jingying, I will begin to purge the corrupt officials inside and outside Yujing, and use the 30 million taels of silver I confiscated as capital to rebuild an elite force capable of fighting."
"However, dismissing the elderly and weak in the military, recruiting new soldiers, and implementing military reforms will inevitably lead to strong backlash."
"So, I plan to wait until you come back to implement the radical policy."
Upon hearing this, Li Wei puffed out her chest, raised her chin slightly, and put on an arrogant demeanor of "who else but me".
Seeing that look, Gu Jinzhi couldn't help laughing, and the smile on his lips deepened.
Li Wei waited for a long while, but when she saw him just smiling without saying anything, she lost her composure and couldn't help but urge him, "What happened next? Tell me!"
Gu Jinzhi then stopped smiling and continued, "Once the domestic situation has stabilized, you can go to Floating Cloud Pass."
"With your strength, you are enough to intimidate the generals at the border and prevent them from taking any rash action."
"By the way, firmly control the most elite Floating Cloud Cavalry of the Great Jing Dynasty."
"If you happen to encounter barbarians blocking your way, you can give them a good beating to buy more time for domestic reforms."
The more Li Wei listened, the brighter her eyes became. She kept asking, "Then, what happens next?"
