Amazing Pastoral World: Unparalleled Medical Queen

Chapter 128: The Way of Being a King

The girl in front of him was only twelve years old, but she seemed to be looking down on everyone from a high place. She had a broad mind and extraordinary knowledge, and she didn't look like a peasant girl who hadn't even reached the age of marriage.

“But, but aren’t all monarchs pursuing a stable regime, a lasting kingdom, and a long life?” Ye Feng glanced at Lu Ke’er with complicated eyes.

He should end this topic.

Going deeper might violate taboos and be a great betrayal. However, deep down, he longed to hear Lu Ke'er's opinions. He had a hunch that some of Lu Ke'er's views were the correct way to be a king.

"A stable regime and a long-lasting rule are the dreams of all kings. But how can one maintain a long-lasting rule? Rely on tyranny? Rely on power?" Lu Ke'er asked, "Have you ever heard of this saying?"

"what?"

"The people are the most important, the country is second, and the monarch is the least important." Seeing the two people's puzzled expressions, Lu Ke'er suddenly remembered that the thoughts of Confucius and Mencius had not yet appeared in Qi State, so she explained, "This sentence means that from the perspective of the country, the people are the foundation and the basis, and the people are more important than the monarch. The people are put first, the country is second, and the monarch is last. This is because only with the people can we establish a country; only with the country can we have a 'monarch'. The country is established for the people, and the position of the 'monarch' is established for the country."

"There is another saying: The people are the foundation of the country. If the foundation is solid, the country will be peaceful. It means that only when the people are the foundation of the country and the foundation is solid, the country will be peaceful."

Lu Ke'er spoke eloquently: "Look at the dynasties, wise rulers govern for the people and are loved by the people, so their regimes are stable and they are remembered for generations. If they are tyrants, they ignore the people's livelihood, which leads to the people's rebellion and the dynasty will also tend to perish. Therefore, if a ruler wants to stabilize his regime and last forever, he must put the people first. You know, the people are like water, which can carry a boat but can also overturn it."

These words were so awakening that Ye Feng suddenly realized something.

He followed his grandfather and began to deal with government affairs at the age of seven under his grandfather's instruction. Although his grandfather taught him some knowledge about how to govern a country and appease the people, he also learned more about political tactics, that is, how to balance and restrain the interests and spheres of influence of various noble families and dignitaries in order to maintain the rule of the imperial power.

He pondered Lu Ke'er's words carefully, and some problems that had troubled him in the process of helping Grandpa Huang handle government affairs were suddenly solved.

He couldn't help but get excited, and felt that his future was suddenly bright.

He turned his head to look at the girl beside him.

There seems to be infinite energy hidden in that slender body.

…………

The next day.

Lu Ke'er went to Jinji Town again.

Since Zuo Yi came, the driver changed from Ye Feng to him.

Ye Feng sat in the carriage with her. He wore a human skin mask as usual to avoid unnecessary trouble and distress.

When a few people passed by Biaozi's house, they saw people coming and going in front of Biaozi's door.

Many of them were civilians dressed simply.

Some of them were carrying vegetables, some were holding fruits, and some were carrying a basket of eggs...

Upon asking around, it turned out that these people were here to thank the "Three Heroes of Jinji Town".

"It's all thanks to Biaozi and the other two. Otherwise, my family would have had no food to eat during this period of time."

"They run in and out every day to buy groceries and daily necessities for us, but they don't charge a penny for their errands."

"These three are all good guys. When Biaozi came to my house and said he could buy things for us for free, I thought they were going to do something bad again. Biaozi swore on his broken leg that if he cheated us, his leg would never heal. Only then did I reluctantly believe him. Unexpectedly, they really turned over a new leaf and became new people. We were wrong in the past..."

"Biaozi's leg hasn't fully recovered yet. Last time, he came to my house with a cane and a young man who could write. He helped me check the items I wanted to buy one by one. He remembered every expense clearly, which made me feel at ease."

"I got sick some time ago and lived in an isolation shed, leaving my blind mother alone at home. I was so worried during those days. But I didn't expect that Biaozi and his family would take the initiative to find my home. They not only bought food for my mother, but also boiled water for her and cleaned the house. Now that I am well again and have returned home, my mother told me to come and thank Biaozi and his family."

The words of gratitude and the sincere smiles moved the three gangsters of "Jinji Town" who were once despised by everyone to tears.

"I didn't expect... I didn't expect that there would be a day when everyone would recognize us." The skinny monkey burst into tears.

"Are we...are we the real three heroes?" Tietou wiped his eyes.

"I finally understand what Miss Lu meant when she said that to us." Biaozi's tears flowed down his cheeks. "It turns out...it turns out that the feeling of being praised and appreciated is actually...it is actually so wonderful."

"Thank you, everyone. Thank you, everyone. These are what Biaozi and his friends should do! We live in the same town and are all neighbors. It is our duty to help each other." Biaozi's mother was in high spirits and proud today.

Not far away, Lu Ke'er, who was sitting in the carriage, glanced at Biaozi's mother's proud and grateful smile at the residents who came to express their gratitude at the gate of the courtyard, and quietly lowered the curtain.

"Ke'er, are you happy?" Ye Feng saw the corners of her lips rise, and his mood inexplicably rose as well.

"Is there?" She glanced at him, her eyes shining like stars.

Ye Feng felt his breath was choked.

Lu Ke'er leaned against the soft pillow in the carriage and said with a smile: "As the epidemic is effectively controlled and the patients recover one by one, the shadow of the epidemic will pass. You see, this is the will of the people. When you do good things for the people, the people will remember you, be grateful to you, and support you. I think it must be more lively at Lord Fang's place now."

Zuo Yi sat in the front of the carriage, driving the carriage while answering: "Miss Ke'er is right. Yesterday, I passed by the county government office and happened to see the people beating gongs and drums to send a gold-plated plaque to Lord Fang, on which were written the words "Love the people like your own children". However, if I were to say, the biggest contribution to the prevention and control of the epidemic this time is still made by Miss Ke'er."

But for some reason, no one thought of thanking her.

Lu Ke'er waved her hand: "What does it have to do with me? This is the result of everyone's joint efforts, hehe."

"Miss Ke'er, you are too modest." Zuo Yi admired her from the bottom of his heart.

This girl is kind-hearted, does not seek fame or fortune, and is low-key, which is really rare.

No wonder His Highness values ​​her so much.

"To prevent and control the epidemic, we need not only doctors, but more importantly, the support of all parties. You see, a small county needs to take all aspects into consideration, such as medical treatment, health prevention, various medical and daily necessities, maintenance of living order, public safety, and organizing forces to crack down on those lawless people who fish in troubled waters, spread rumors to create panic, and even hoard medicinal materials and food to make a fortune in the national crisis. I can't do all this alone, haha! To be honest, in our county, if we talk about pressure, Lord Fang has the greatest pressure. Haha!"

"Fang Xingzheng is also lucky." Ye Feng glanced at her with a smiling look in his eyes. "With you here, he is like having a magic needle to stabilize the sea. Don't say that those preventive measures have nothing to do with you."

"Haha, keep a low profile, keep a low profile."

Looking at the streets gradually regaining their vitality and bustle, Lu Keer sighed again: "This epidemic has emptied the assets of many families. Some families may even owe foreign debts. Lord Fang must find a way to develop the people's livelihood economy and create more employment opportunities for the people."
