After a long and arduous journey, they finally arrived at their destination before dark.
Since we want to sympathize with the people, we must go deep into the masses, right?
So despite Gong Chenliang's firm opposition, Luo Junchuan resolutely moved into the home of a local old lady.
The old lady's family was relatively poor, and she had no children, so her husband passed away early.
That's why Luo Junchuan chose to live in the old lady's house. A poor old lady with no one to rely on must have many insights into the country's policies, right?
Otherwise, why is there a saying that goes, "If you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer the consequences"? The elderly have walked many more roads and seen many more things than we have.
This old man should be a great inspiration to Gong Chenliang.
Ignoring Gong Chenliang's resistance, Luo Junchuan took their luggage and moved into the old lady's house.
Grandma's family was very poor and they only had one leaky house for them to live in.
Gong Chenliang looked at the leaky house and couldn't help but pause: the reason was simple, it was just too similar to the one he lived in before. Perhaps his might be a little better.
At least his wasn't this...transparent.
Thinking of this, Gong Chenliang miraculously felt that Luo Junchuan was actually quite nice to him?
"This house is so shabby, not even as secure as the cave we stayed in last night. How can people live in it?" Gong Chenliang was the first to raise the question.
"It's not habitable now, but we can fix it up. First we need to clean the house, and then we can start repairing it." Luo Junchuan said, looking at Gong Chenliang.
Gong Chenliang took a few steps back: "What are you doing? You were the one who insisted on staying here. You have to do all the work yourself. Don't even think about dragging me along!!!"
"I know. Why don't you go look in our car over there to see if there's anything to eat. This grandma doesn't look like she has an easy life. We should not eat for free and add to her burden."
Luo Junchuan looked at the dazed Gong Chenliang and asked him to do something else.
The work in this house is all relatively rough. The little creditor has finally been pampered by the tender skin and flesh that I raised, so how can I let him do such rough work?!
I might as well find something to do to get rid of him, and at the same time I can solve the dinner problem, it’s perfect!
After driving Gong Chenliang away, Luo Junchuan looked at the house in front of him with a worried look: Why is it so dilapidated! I should have sent someone to repair it earlier... But in order to pretend that they were just travelers on the road, so that the little emperor could truly feel the needs of the people... He endured it!
It is better to do less than think more. Without saying much, Luo Junchuan rolled up his sleeves and began his transformation journey:
All the window papers on the windows need to be reinstalled, as well as the mortise lock on the door. He will go and make a new one later. As for this bed... forget it, just make do with it today and make a new one tomorrow!
By the time Gong Chenliang had packed up all the supplies in the carriage and brought them out, Luo Junchuan had just cleaned the entire house.
It was time to paste the windows. Gong Chenliang looked at the busy Luo Junchuan and silently forgot his previous determination. He appeared beside Luo Junchuan like a little ghost, helping him hold the window paper so that it would be easier for him to paste it.
Luo Junchuan looked at Gong Chenliang, who had turned his face away, and smiled brightly. "Has his little creditor finally figured it out?" It seemed his overflowing love had infected him... He'd always said, "You have to have dreams. What if they come true?" Right?
Luo Junchuan smiled with a radiant smile on his face. He had already seen that the hope of victory was not far away, and he could accomplish it with a little more effort!
With Gong Chenliang's 'silent' help, Luo Junchuan quickly papered the windows.
"Have you brought the food?"
Gong Chenliang said nothing, weighed a large bag of grain from outside and placed it in front of Luo Junchuan.
"Well, do you want to eat my cooking or that old lady's cooking?"
Gong Chenliang said in a low voice: "I see you've been traveling all day, you must be tired, right? Let's give the meal to the old woman and let her cook for us. This way we can give her some food and help her solve some problems. I think this old woman doesn't seem to be having a good life... We can just use the excuse of cooking to give her some food."
It’s not that Gong Chenliang felt sorry for Luo Junchuan, at least not after the meal they had before.
It's not that bad, it's still edible. But after you eat it once, you won't want to eat it again.
That old lady has lived for so long, her cooking skills should be pretty good, right?
After much deliberation, Gong Chenliang decided to give the food to the old lady.
"I didn't expect you to be so caring." Luo Junchuan smiled evilly. Gong Chenliang met his deep eyes and was distracted for a moment.
"Who has a kind heart? Stop it." Gong Chenliang noticed something was wrong with himself and felt a little angry and embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, but there are some things I need to say.
You're not in the palace right now, so Fu Renliang can't teach you anything. I happen to have quite a bit of experience in governing, so I think I can still teach you something. So, later on, I'll teach you something, and you must remember it.
Whether what I tell you is right or wrong, good or not, and how you should use it, is all your business."
The purpose of Luo Junchuan's coming out this time is to help the little emperor grow up quickly, so Luo Junchuan decides to personally serve as a teacher to his little creditor.
"First of all, I don't care whether you have a heart or not. You must remember one thing: you can kill all the corrupt officials and treacherous ministers in the court, and you can show no mercy to those who have lost all conscience; but as the emperor, you shoulder the responsibility of the people of the world. You must be good to your people and your loyal ministers, and you must always think about how to make their lives better. Put yourself in others' shoes. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. You must understand that as the emperor, you can only be strong if the people are strong."
Luo Junchuan's words completely stunned Gong Chenliang: He had never imagined that such words would come from Luo Junchuan's innermost heart! He was ruthlessly killing corrupt officials and treacherous ministers. Didn't he know that everyone, from the common people to the imperial court, now regarded him as the greatest treacherous minister?!
Also, he naturally knew that being good to the people was the truth, but as someone who wanted to be king, shouldn't Luo Junchuan be indoctrinated with some brainwashing stuff? Why did he still have to teach him how to govern a country?
Could it be... that he really changed his mind?
