Chapter 216: Past Events (Now that everyone has become a god, who would still work seriously?)
Looking at Zhen helplessly, Chen Yue sighed and said, "Now that they have become gods, who will still work seriously? Look at Barbatos and Morax next door, which one of them works seriously?"
"You may not believe it, but the Wind God is actually a heavy drinker. If you randomly catch a drunk on the street, it might be him. And the Rock God is even worse. He is completely free-range and is only inspected once a year."
Chen Yue's expression became serious. Where did he go? The clerk beside him.
"Look at yourself. You work diligently every day, rest two or three days a week, go to work at 8 am and get off work at 9:30 pm. Under such conditions, we can only provide you with food, accommodation and entertainment."
"Not only that, even during statutory holidays, we can only have four or five extra days off at most. For large-scale events like the Guanghua Rongcai Show, we can only have an extra month off."
"If you calculate carefully, you have to work almost half a year in a year. This is simply a life like hell!" Looking at Zhen who was a little puzzled, Chen Yue explained in his own way.
"Just think about it, you have to deal with heavy work and trivial matters every day, and you don't have much time to rest and relax. How can such a life not be painful? This is simply a torture!"
Zhen blinked, obviously confused by Chen Yue's words. In her opinion, as a god, being able to do something and live a regular life was actually a kind of luck.
"But... I think this kind of life is very meaningful. It can help people solve their problems and make this Inazuma a better place. Besides, is it really okay to let the three magistrates handle most of the affairs?"
"Don't worry, it's okay. Besides, if you concentrate too much power in your own hands, it will not be conducive to cultivating the autonomy and creativity of the people. What are the three magistrates used for? Aren't they here to help the gods handle affairs?"
"You should learn from Liyue. They have entered an era of semi-human rule, allowing the people to participate more in the governance of the country. This will not only reduce your burden, but also stimulate the enthusiasm and sense of responsibility of the people."
Zhen couldn't help but feel a little shaken after hearing Chen Yue's words. She had always been used to handling all matters by herself and had never thought of delegating power. However, Chen Yue's words made her start to reflect on her own approach.
"Perhaps you are right. I should try to give more power to the Three Magistrates. This will not only give me more time to think about how to better govern Inazuma, but also allow the people to participate more actively in the construction of the country."
"Yes, that's right." Chen Yue nodded and continued, "Besides, you don't have to work so hard every day. Relax a little and enjoy life so that you can face work better. After all, life and work should complement each other, not contradict each other."
“But what should I do when I have free time?”
She was really thinking that some things become boring if you do them too much. Now that she is suddenly free, she doesn't know what to do.
Chen Yue put his hands behind his back, walked slowly, and said earnestly: "You can do a lot of things. Morax has been walking in the world in human form for many years. Look how much he enjoys himself! Listening to books, appreciating flowers, and drinking tea have become muscle memory. You should learn from him to enjoy life."
As he spoke, Chen Yue smiled slightly, as if he was recalling his past. Then, he took a few steps forward and continued, "And look at me, I have lived for thousands of years, but I am still like a young man. Why is that? It's because I know how to enjoy life."
There was a strong sense of confidence and satisfaction in his voice, as if he had found the true meaning of life.
Staring into Zhen's eyes intently, Chen Yue said with a serious expression: "So, you can also live in the world as an ordinary person like us. When you encounter important things, you can just come forward to deal with them. Isn't that great?"
"Well... well, I'll give it a try, just a try." Zhen hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded gently. She was determined to follow Chen Yue's suggestion and try to change her lifestyle.
Chen Yue nodded contentedly, secretly delighted in his heart, thinking that he had just done something very remarkable. Moreover, only when he had some free time could his carefully planned plan move forward more smoothly.
"Okay, from today on, you don't have to be so busy. After you concentrate on dealing with things in the morning every day, the afternoon time will be completely at your disposal." Chen Yue comforted with a smile.
"Well, I have to do what I should do. If there is nothing else, I will leave first." After saying that, Chen Yue turned and left, leaving Zhen alone in the room thinking alone.
......
"Oh, look who's here, the most handsome man in Inazuma, Chen Yixuan!" As soon as he arrived at Meishin Taisha, Chen Yue heard the voice of Kitsunayagiya.
"I thought you were going to stay with Shin for the whole afternoon! Why are you here?"
"Haha, is there anyone who treats his brothers like this? It makes it seem like I'm the kind of person who values love over friendship." After saying this with a dark face, Chen Yue felt that it would be better not to have this good friend.
"This is outrageous, bro. Do you believe what you said?" Hu Zhaigong looked at Chen Yue with disbelief, as if he could see through him.
You know, Hu Zhaigong knows Chen Yue very well. How well does she know him? Let's put it this way, she even knows exactly what brand of cigarettes Chen Yue usually smokes.
Chen Yue looked at Hu Zhaigong's expression and felt a little uneasy, but he still said, "I believe it. I believe it very much!"
But when he said this, he subconsciously touched his nose. This small action immediately exposed his true thoughts. He didn't believe what he had just said at all.
Seeing this, Kitsai Palace couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, okay, stop pretending! So, the matter is done?"
Chen Yue nodded. "The power tactics of an emperor are to manipulate the government and the people, and disperse the power to achieve the effect of checks and balances. As long as we can balance the power among the three ministries and avoid a situation where one party dominates, there will basically be no major changes."
