Chapter 2409
Is this surprising?
...
As a leader, even a leader in name only, Liu Tong was extremely sincere in his heart when he said this.
It is her sincere hope and wish to make everyone present work hard and be diligent, so when she encourages them, the emotions she reveals can even be transmitted to everyone's senses.
"Zichuan, Tongtong's ability of language expression is getting stronger and stronger. Just by listening to his words, you can tell how sincere the other party is..." Liu Bei glanced at Chen Xi standing beside him and said with the same encouraging words.
"Yes, it's so sincere. I can guarantee that she means it from the bottom of her heart..." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and then signaled Jia Xu, Li You and others with his eyes, conveying the corresponding meaning to Liu Bei.
Among the people present, there were actually quite a few who truly understood Liu Tong's ideas, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
In Chen Xi's opinion, there was absolutely nothing wrong with Liu Tong saying this.
After all, hoping that they will work hard does not mean that Liu Tong will work hard himself. The gap between the two can be said to be very large.
Theoretically, if there is no rework, the more work they do, the less work Liu Tong needs to do.
It is obvious which is more important to just talk rather than actually do the work and waste your time.
Hearing this, Liu Bei suddenly reacted and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he finally maintained a kind smile.
Liu Bei knew his niece well enough. She was indeed very capable, but she was a bit lazy in character.
However, compared with the bad habits of previous princesses, laziness is not worth mentioning at all.
Moreover, in Liu Bei's view, if he had to do everything himself and prepare for everything with all his strength, it would be fine in a short period of time, but if it took too long, it would not be a good thing.
Liu Bei himself was very clear about the possible consequences of overwork. Even though he had experienced examples like Chen Xi, he still felt worried.
Especially in the current situation where there is no shortage of civil officials and good generals, the importance of the monarch is as long as he does not become a drag.
So for Liu Bei, as long as Liu Tong did not learn from his previous predecessors, everything was within an acceptable range.
What's more, Liu Tong's situation and performance on major issues can't be said to be unprecedented or unparalleled, but at least he is among the top ones.
So seeing that Liu Tong was able to hold on to everything, Liu Bei felt more at ease with all the current events.
I have a feeling that when I meet this person, I know that the Han Dynasty is not in decline, my path is not alone, and the mandate of heaven has never been lost.
"It would be great if everyone could do this..." Liu Bei looked at the people around him, thought about their personalities and the way they handled things at work, and could only chuckle and shake his head.
In terms of ability, the people around are worthy of being the world's top wise men, and their abilities are real.
It’s just that the attitude towards work and the subjective initiative in work are indeed not particularly good.
They would delay as much as possible, often until the last minute, but they would basically finish the work before the deadline. "My lord, the only person who can support and approve of this idea is probably..." Li You, who understood Liu Bei's meaning, signaled Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan and others in the distance.
It can be said that this kind of gaze and consciousness is very obvious, and Liu Bei naturally knows the meaning of it.
Simply put, their generation was probably accustomed to such a working atmosphere and rhythm. The people above them had no objection, the people below them had no objection, even Liu Bei himself had no objection. As for the civil and military officials themselves, they had even less objection.
In this situation, if no one objects and I sincerely agree, there is basically no possibility of change.
If we want to change this somewhat lazy working environment and atmosphere, we can basically only start with the next generation.
And among the next generation of personnel arrangements, those who are willing to continue working hard for this are basically Zhuge Liang and others.
Whether it is Zhuge Liang or Sima Yi, these so-called next generation young people have shown hard work and excellence, which makes them quite popular among the current students.
There are even many people who, under the pretext of providing young people with more opportunities to exercise, frantically increase their workload.
If Chen Xi had not reacted faster in this regard, the court would probably have been outsourced layer by layer today.
Of course, even if Chen Xi did not stop it, the probability of this possibility occurring is actually not very high. After all, everyone has reached this position through their own strength, and they will not lose their jobs because of this possibility.
Know what can be done and what cannot be done. Even if something is delegated, it is done after careful consideration rather than at will.
"It doesn't matter. It's a state banquet after all, so it's mainly about joy and celebration. As for discussing things, we'll talk about it tomorrow..." Liu Bei looked at the wise men around him, who had all begun to ponder over this issue as if preparing for a debate. He quickly reminded everyone present and pointed out the nature of this incident.
Eat when it’s time to eat, drink when it’s time to drink, and unless there’s a major emergency, just follow the process. After all, everyone has plenty of time.
Kabechi and others under the jade steps of Weiyang Palace not only stared at Liu Tong, but also memorized every word Liu Tong said deeply, memorizing it in the deepest part of their hearts, for fear of forgetting anything.
As for Liu Tong's words of encouragement, they made Kabechi and others excited from the bottom of their hearts, and the atmosphere and breath of joy were beyond words.
"We must work hard next year and live up to the expectations of the imperial princess." Tinoyka said this right at the beginning and pointed out the importance of it.
"Yes! We must not let down the expectations of the eldest princess of the Han Empire!" Several Dayuezhi people around raised the wine in their hands, saluted Liu Tong, and then drank it all, saying in unison.
That’s right, what Liu Tong saw as words of comfort and encouragement, in the eyes of the people of Dayuezhi, was recognition of their behavior and encouragement for them to continue doing so next year. Otherwise, why would they even glance at them?
With the help of self-imagination and high-intensity filters, people like Kabechi have begun to carve corresponding traces in their hearts and are ready to work hard in this direction.
The other officials around also looked at Kabechi and others with a speechless look in their eyes.
What's so surprising about this?
