Chapter 511 The Road Ahead is Long



That night, Fu Xiaoguan was very drunk.

Su Jue picked him up carefully and returned to the Fu Mansion with Fu Xiaoguan's three wives.

The lights in the Yanfa teahouse were still on, and three generations of Yan Beixi's family were still sitting there.

After writing that poem, Fu Xiaoguan said many things that subverted their cognition. Was this really drunken talk?

In the eyes of everyone here, it is not.

He described a whole new world to them, but their minds were colliding violently at this moment.

This is going against the will of heaven!

"His idea... is too dangerous." Yan Haochu took a deep breath and regretted asking Fu Xiaoguan this question.

Fu Xiaoguan did give an answer, but the answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

It is true that if you don't make a sound, you will make a big splash.

"But I feel that if such a perfect nation could truly be realized, it would truly be perfect." Yan Xiwen paused, pondered, and then said, "His twenty-four-word vision complements the twenty-word policy Your Majesty once proposed. Your Majesty's twenty-word policy was also proposed by Fu Xiaoguan. It seems that he has always believed this way."

Yan Linqiu hadn't recovered from those words yet. He simply felt that they were too shocking, making it difficult for him to accept them. "The dynasty is newly established. Shouldn't the one who conquered the world rule it? How can the emperor be elected by the people? It's impossible. It's simply impossible. Official Fu is truly drunk and dreaming."

Yan Beixi only slowly stood up at this moment and walked to the window, looking at the bright red lanterns outside and the dancing snowflakes against the backdrop of the lanterns. "It's late at night, everyone should go back to their rooms to stay up until the New Year. Once you step out of this room, forget what he said and never mention it anywhere else!"

The children and grandchildren greeted each other and left, but Yan Beixi still stood in front of the window.

But he was carefully savoring Fu Xiaoguan's words.

He roughly understood the five levels of demand, so Fu Xiaoguan implemented new policies and carried out business activities in order to fill the pockets of the people.

In this way, their attention will not be focused on the daily necessities of life just a few feet away from them.

When they have free time, they will look up at the sky or gaze into the distance.

After seeing it, they will realize that the sky is vast and there are different scenery in the distance.

They are like fish in water, living in the water all the time. If Fu Xiaoguan succeeds in this move, it will be like helping these fish jump out of the water, letting them know how big the world is and how beautiful the scenery is.

Fish can never come ashore, but people are different.

Once a person has higher desires, they will pursue them when they have the conditions, which is what Fu Xiaoguan calls the improvement of the level of needs.

They will not be satisfied with the status quo and will try to create a better future. They will move forward step by step... The road is long and arduous, but one day, they may really emerge from a new country.

This is not something that can be achieved overnight, so the road is difficult and we can only keep searching.

Therefore, the difficult path for Fu Xiaoguan does not refer to the implementation of new policies, but to the advancement of ideas.

If that day comes and this inherent power structure is broken, what kind of earth-shaking changes will take place?

Yan Beixi couldn't imagine it, just as he couldn't understand the separation of powers.

Fu Xiaoguan said that power is something that can make people obsessed... Yan Beixi deeply agrees with this.

As the power in one's hands grows, one becomes more and more concerned about the stability of this power, fearing that one day one will lose it and be ruthlessly crushed by political opponents.

Therefore, the power in the hands of any official will only become tighter and tighter. Unless Your Majesty issues an edict to deprive them of it, no one will voluntarily give up the power in their hands.

Power is something that is extremely useful. It can be used to command subordinates, protect family members, influence the fate of others, and make one's own family stronger and stronger.

This is really a fascinating thing!

But Fu Xiaoguan, this kid, who is not even eighteen years old, has seen through this thing.

This is what he said about the affairs of the world: we must be able to take responsibility and also be good at getting rid of them.

He took on the responsibility of enriching the people, but broke free from the constraints of the throne.

He was worried that once he became the ruler of a country and enjoyed supreme power that no one dared to supervise, he would find it difficult to let go. Therefore, he would not let the people break the shackles of their thoughts themselves, and he would limit the needs of the common people to the first and second stages.

It is very simple to do this. The best way to keep people ignorant is to make them carry shackles forever. They can see the hope of life, but they cannot touch it even if they try their best.

Everyone will work hard all their lives, either for food or for shelter.

They have no time to look up at the sky or climb high to see the distance.

Their vision will always be limited to an area of ​​about ten feet around them.

So his choice was to simply not touch that thing, but to stand from the perspective of a bystander and influence the people of the world through his own actions, giving them the opportunity to get rid of the heavy shackles, allowing them to stand higher, see farther, and think more.

Is this...really possible?

There are sounds of firecrackers and fireworks outside the window. The new year has finally arrived regardless of anyone's will.

Fu Mansion, Qixue Hall, and a pavilion are suitable.

Su Jue untied Xu Xinyan's acupoints and sat in the pavilion, staring blankly at the fireworks blooming in the sky.

Su Rou raised her slender eyes and glanced at the senior brother. The senior brother had been silent since he came back. He walked in silently, untied Xu Xinyan's acupuncture points silently, drank tea silently, and looked at the sky silently.

Su Rou felt a little strange, so she asked, "Are you worried about something?"

Xu Xinyan also felt strange and asked, "Aren't you worried that I'll run away?"

Su Jue nodded, then shook her head. Su Su ate the osmanthus cake with her eyes wide open. Are you confirming or denying this?

Su Jue withdrew his gaze, straightened his hat, and said slowly: "The young master is drunk."

Su Su curled her lips and said, "He has such a low alcohol tolerance, isn't it normal for him to get drunk?"

"But when the young master got drunk, he wrote a poem and said something... I understand the poem, but I don't quite understand the speech."

Su Su suddenly became interested and said, "Tell me about it."

Xu Xinyan felt inexplicably happy and pricked up her ears.

Su Jue recounted what Fu Xiaoguan had said that night. This poem naturally amazed Xu Xinyan again, but the following words shocked them all!

When Su Jue finished speaking, Xu Xinyan took a deep breath and looked at the night sky.

"Ultimately, we will realize a perfect nation that is prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious, free, equal, just, rule of law, patriotic, dedicated, honest, and friendly!"

Is this really possible?

Even ordinary people can become sages! They can all become Yao and Shun! ... He is probably the only one who dares to say such words.

"Is he crazy?" Su Su forgot about the osmanthus cake and said in horror.

"No, he's not crazy, because he said one last thing... The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will continue to search for it!"

The New Year's drum sounded at this moment, and flowers bloomed in the sky above the capital.

Xu Xinyan looked at the charming fireworks and suddenly felt that everything was so beautiful, and the future... would definitely be even more beautiful!
