Chapter 450: Being too clever
Hearing Gu Chen's refusal, Shenli Lingren looked up in shock:
"why?"
Gu Chen's expression was cold:
"why?
Because I don’t want to be a sucker!
Kamisato Ayato, you have to understand that I am a traveler. I regard Liyue as my second home, so I can be considered a Liyue person.
No matter whether I am a Liyue person or a traveler, no matter which identity I have, I am an outsider to Inazuma!
It's unreasonable in itself for you to ask me, an outsider, to save Inazuma from disaster.
Besides, I don’t want to solve these disasters of Inazuma.”
Kamisato Ayato looked a little anxious:
"Why don't you want to help? The people of Inazuma are suffering so much..."
Gu Chen sternly asked back:
“Why should I help?
I'm an outsider!
Why does this responsibility fall on me?
Why should I be such a sucker!?"
After several harsh questions, Kamisato Ayato was completely stunned.
Looking directly into Kamisato Ayato's eyes, Gu Chen sighed:
“Before coming to Inazuma, I had already traveled to two countries.
In these two countries, I have indeed helped them resolve huge disasters.
But there were reasons for both times.
Mond was my first stop.
I was not mature enough at that time. Faced with my friends' pleas, I didn't want to see them in trouble, so I helped them solve their problems.
Liyue is my second stop. That place is my second hometown. Of course, I can't just watch the disaster happen in my hometown.
And then here...
Kamisato Ayato, don't forget that my original purpose of coming to Inazuma was to bring him to justice.
When I came here with this purpose, I didn't have a particularly good initial impression of Inazuma.
In this situation, you beg me to solve Inazuma's disaster?
Indeed, the lower-class people in Inazuma are really miserable!
But who caused all this?
The stupid, corrupt, dark and ridiculous noble high-ranking officials in the shogunate bear a large part of the responsibility!
Your clumsy and infuriatingly rigid general bears a small part of the responsibility for the dereliction of duty!
The culprits are both of them!
Therefore, it should be these two parties who should solve these disasters faced by Inazuma!
What do you want from me?
What does all this have to do with me!?"
These words left Kamisato Ayato dumbfounded and sweating profusely.
He had to admit that what Gu Chen said was right and made a lot of sense.
At the same time, Kamisato Ayato also gained a better understanding of Gu Chen.
This Lord Gu Chen is definitely not someone he can control or calculate!
Maybe what I was thinking today was wrong from the beginning!
Looking at Kamisato Ayato, whose eyes flashed with regret, Gu Chen snorted softly:
"If you really want to resolve the current disaster of Inazuma as soon as possible, go and persuade your general as soon as possible.
My two requests can also solve Inazuma's disaster invisibly."
"what?"
"Ah for what?
Let me ask you, what are my two requests?"
At this moment, Kamisato Ayato felt that his brain was not enough. He answered blankly:
"It's... the stationing of troops in Inazuma and the implicated execution of those nobles."
"yes.
As long as my army is stationed in Inazuma, neither the shogunate nor the Kaijima authorities will dare to act rashly.
In this way, it is equivalent to preventing war in disguise.
And implicated those nobles...
After being implicated, wouldn't the huge family wealth accumulated by the nobles for countless generations be left behind?
You can guess with your toes how huge the family property is.
I'm afraid only a small part of it needs to be used to provide relief to the victims, to save the victims, and to restore people's livelihood.
The living conditions of the lower-class people in Inazuma will be greatly improved immediately!
With these two problems solved, the only disasters left for Inazuma are the national isolation order and the eye hunting order.
But even if these two national policies are not resolved, there will not be any big problems.
Because at least the lower-class people in Inazuma can survive and they won't have to suffer so much hardship.
As for the remaining troublesome issues, we can slowly address them.”
After hearing all this, Kamisato Ayato's expression was still the same as before, and he was completely dazed.
He agreed with Gu Chen's idea from the bottom of his heart.
So there is such a method! ?
But we have to admit that this solution may be the most orthodox and correct!
However, his previous idea of asking Lord Gu Chen to solve the disaster was actually inferior and led him astray.
Realizing this, Kamisato Ayato couldn't help but start to reflect.
Why didn't I think of such a good solution? Instead, I had to rack my brains to ask Gu Chen to help me solve it?
Ultimately, it's a problem with thinking or a problem with perspective!
Over the years, he has become accustomed to intrigues with other high-ranking nobles.
After a long period of intrigue and scheming against each other, Kamisato Ayato was inevitably affected.
Even though his nature is good, when he encounters problems, his subconscious solutions are still conspiracy methods that are difficult to put on the table.
Once they get used to using conspiracies, they can no longer use open schemes, and their vision will be narrowed. This is a common problem among these so-called smart people.
Reflecting on this, Kamisato Ayato shuddered.
He knew that he was wrong, very wrong.
He also knew that he had to make changes and could not continue to act based on conspiracy in the future, otherwise he would not end well!
After understanding this, Kamisato Ayato's mind became clear and his breathing seemed to become much smoother.
Maintaining a kneeling posture, Shenli Ayato continued to pay his respects to Gu Chen, and kowtowed loudly:
"Thank you, Master Gu Chen, for your guidance."
Gu Chen nodded slightly, accepting Kamisato Ayato's thanks.
Picking up the teacup in front of him, Gu Chen didn't even bother to glance at Kamisato Ayato, and his tone was also flat:
"So, what are you still standing there for?
Why don't you hurry up and do your best to persuade your general to implement my two requests before the end of seven days.
Go quickly!!!"
"Yes!"
Kamisato Ayato was suddenly horrified and he almost crawled out of the tea room box.
But before he rushed out, he reacted, came back, knelt on the ground and kowtowed again:
"Please forgive me this time, Master Gu Chen!"
The implication was that he asked Gu Chen to forgive him for the little trick he had plotted against Gu Chen.
Gu Chen nodded gently:
"Go ahead, I don't care about that."
After bowing his head heavily again, Kamisato Ayato said nothing more and quickly left the box.
After this guy left, facing the empty seat in front of him, Gu Chen held the teacup and complained unhappily:
"Humph, being too clever may lead to mistakes."
Paimon, who was floating nearby, nodded in agreement.
Then she thought about it, and suddenly realized it, and finally her eyes lit up!
