I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 30 Only a coward can become the Emperor of Zhong!

In Yuan Shu's opinion, beating Ma Rong's Qiu Feng was absolutely just, and could even be considered robbing the rich to help the poor.

Ma Rong lived a luxurious life, with fine clothes and delicious food. Any item in his house was worth a thousand gold coins. If he took out any of them and exchanged them for money to buy food, it would be enough to feed a dozen poor families for three to five months.

If we don’t eat his wealthy family, whose wealthy family should we eat?

Liu Zhi?

Yuan Shu wanted to, but he didn't have the ability to do so now and couldn't take over Liu Zhi's wealthy family.

So Yuan Shu asked Ma Rong to raise funds under the banner of helping farmers and serving the public. Ma Rong, who was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, had no choice but to donate some food and cloth to show his support in the face of Yuan Shu's aggressive attitude.

However, Ma Rong also gave Yuan Shu some warnings.

"Let's not talk about whether what you do will affect anyone. The number of poor people in this world is far beyond your imagination. There are so many in Maoling County, let alone other places. It's amazing that you can persuade so many Ma's disciples.

But even if you work together, how many people can you save? How long can you save them? Can you save them for a while, but can you save them forever? How long can you keep your passion to save people? The donations will eventually run out. What will you do then? Continue to raise funds? "

Yuan Shu sat in front of Ma Rong with a straight posture.

“I understand what you mean, but I think that nothing is difficult if you set your mind to it. My conscience tells me that this is the right thing to do, so I must do it. Otherwise, how would I be any different from those who just stand by and watch?
Fundraising alone cannot save them forever, but without us, they will not be able to hold on for a while and will die of hunger and cold. Teacher, the common people are also Han people. Their lives are also lives, and we disciples cannot stand idly by.

I think that we should not refrain from doing good deeds just because they are small, nor should we do bad deeds just because they are small. If we just talk about it, then we will not have the face to continue to talk in front of the teacher. As for the solution to the problem, we should think about it while doing it. "

Yuan Shu bowed to Ma Rong and left.

Ma Rong looked at Yuan Shu's leaving back and felt that something in his heart was touched, and he murmured to himself.

"One moment? One lifetime? What difference does it make to someone who is about to starve to death? It's just a kind thought to save people, why do you have to look back and forth? You are so sure, but it's just hypocrisy! In front of him, I have lived for eighty-seven years in vain..."

Perhaps because he was old and his heart had softened, Ma Rong then instructed the person in charge of the household to allocate a portion of the household's food and cloth for making clothes to Yuan Shu, who would manage it.

This time, Ma Rong gave Yuan Shu a lot of support.

After Yuan Shu raised a considerable amount of supplies, he asked Lu Zhi to distribute them personally. In order to make sure that everyone could be sure that their things were being used in real places, Yuan Shu also set up special public disclosure rules.

How much materials are spent every day, where they go, to whom they are given, the specific quantity, who is the person in charge, and who the donor is, everything must be clearly recorded for audit.

"This is everyone's kindness and conscience, which is very precious and needs to be carefully protected. It is also our first public action, so it must be seen in the light and be upright without any filth. Mr. Lu, the journey of a thousand miles begins at this moment, please!"

Before leaving, Yuan Shu entrusted this matter to Lu Zhi.

Lu Zhi straightened his clothes and said solemnly: "I will not let Yuan Jun down. If there is any mistake, I will commit suicide to thank the world!"

Yuan Shu smiled and set out to conduct research.

Walk, look and think about your past, present and future along the way.

He really had no feelings for the Eastern Han Dynasty and Emperor Huan of Han and Emperor Ling of Han, and had no respect for them at all, even though he was an ordinary person, let alone the legitimate son of the Yuan family.

If he were an ordinary person, he would have risen up in rebellion to fight against the local tyrants and divide the land. However, as the eldest son of the Yuan family, it was inappropriate for him to do so.

But he can't just lie down and fall into depravity, because if he continues along the historical trajectory, he will sooner or later be angered to death by a cup of honey water and become the Skeleton King who is laughed at by future generations. Even from a purely personal interest perspective, he can't just give up.

So, he had to do something.

what to do?

Originally, he was still a little hesitant and was thinking about other routes, but now, it was different.

Only a coward would be the Emperor of the Zhong family!

Just by going deep into the wilderness and conducting a grassroots social survey, he felt a fire burning in his heart.

The fire was not large in scale, but it was very hot and extremely tenacious. Despite all the cowardice and selfish desires in Yuan Shu's heart, the fire could not be extinguished.

He thought about it and felt that this might be the legendary Samadhi True Fire.

Yuan Shu, who was feeling really uncomfortable from the burning of the Samadhi True Fire in his heart, thought that maybe it was time for him to set a solid goal and move forward firmly.

The previous discussion with Lu Zhi not only confused Lu Zhi, but also made him unable to figure out what was going on. Everything he was doing now was just a stopgap measure and did not touch the core part. This was true for both him and Lu Zhi.

But now, perhaps Lu Zhi is still hesitating, but he no longer hesitates.

Only a coward would be the Emperor of the Zhong family!

If you want to be an emperor, be a real emperor!
He really doesn't want to be the most powerful person.

The truth is that the people who hold the greatest power now are not human beings!

Thousands of miles of starving people and tens of thousands of refugees, is this something a human being could do?

Even wolf packs and lion packs will take care of their injured companions!

As a living person, Yuan Shu couldn't stand it. So he decided to teach these humanoid creatures what it means to be human!

A person should behave like a human being!

People cannot act recklessly like wild beasts!
People must have personality and character!

Otherwise, you are unworthy of being a human being!

As for the path, you can't just choose it randomly. If you have to choose, choose the most high-end and most impressive one.

Take the high-end academic route.

This is a special option for him as the eldest son of the Yuan family, and ordinary people cannot choose it.

If you take the academic route, have three thousand followers, travel around the world, and conquer the world with your words, what will you get in the end?
If you take the academic route, have three thousand followers, and fight for the world with the power of faith as a sword, what can you get in the end?
The first path is the path of Confucius, and it is also the path of many Confucian celebrities. Several saints before and after have walked this path, and the results were not very good anyway.

The latter path is not taken by many people - if "When my flower blooms, all other flowers die" can be considered a kind of thought, then Huang Chao also took this path.

Yuan Shu certainly looked down upon Huang Chao. He thought that his ideas were too low and too straightforward. He did not know how to conceal them at all. He had no restraint in doing things and it was obvious that he did not understand politics.

Yuan Shu is a person who understands politics. It would undoubtedly be more convenient for a person who understands politics to take the second path.

What's more, his background can provide him with great help, and he can rely on the high-end academic route to avoid the risk of early exposure. He has the characteristics of extremely strong concealment and vulgar development.

Once it succeeds in the end, it will achieve the unification of both military and ideology!

Debating with words is really too slow. Physical debate would be faster, isn't it?
Yuan Shu knew what to do next.

So he quickened his pace and ran away.

Lu Zhi also worked hard in the material warehouse, supervising and calculating the income and expenditure of materials day and night, and reviewing the quantities shipped in and out every day.

In order to live up to Yuan Shu's TOEFL score, he also arranged for different people to visit the assisted villages to conduct open and secret inspections to see whether they had really received the supplies.

Then all of this is written on a wooden board for public display and updated daily so that all those who donate supplies can see where their donated supplies have been sent to and to whom they have been given.

This novel approach really made everyone feel involved, and many people felt unexpectedly satisfied with it.

Originally, there were some people who even donated materials with the idea of befriending Yuan Shu by using them, thinking that it would not matter even if these things went into Yuan Shu's pocket. But who would have thought that Yuan Shu would actually do his job honestly.

He arranged everything very well, including how to store, how to transport, how to spend the money, and how to arrange personnel for the transfer, demonstrating his strong ability to get things done.

Is this little prodigy really that amazing?

And did he really carry out his actions that appeal to his conscience?

More and more people are surprised and then admire this.

They are really doing practical work. In this cold winter, they are really braving the severe cold to do practical work and save lives.

He also asked Lu Zhi to personally supervise material matters, make public announcements every day, and write down everything in great detail.

Everyone only needs to look at the notice board to know how much supplies have been delivered to where today. The daily in and out items of the entire warehouse are also clearly written on the notice board.

Lu Zhi was an upright person who did things in a methodical and thorough manner without any mistakes. His character had been tested by time and recognized by everyone. No one would think that Lu Zhi would be partial to someone.

With him in charge of the material transfer center, everyone would be convinced even without these announcements, not to mention with the announcement board, everyone suddenly felt more involved.

Some people who participated in the donation would often see their names and donated materials on the public notice board, as well as where the donated materials were sent to and to whom they were handed over.

Then it will also specify how many people will use and eat for how many days, and how many people can be saved from starvation or freezing to death.

They felt inexplicably happy about this, and even a little happy.

like……

It was as if I had done something really good, and my emotions inexplicably became full of emotion.

Many people talked about this, even those who had no idea about the agricultural assistance action at the beginning and only donated some money and food to please Yuan Shu were quite moved by this and felt a little moved.

"The little food I donated can help a family of seven who are starving survive for ten days?"

"I donated a small amount of money, and it was used to buy food? The food I bought... helped five farmers who were out of food? Gave them five days of food? That little money could save five families?"

"My old clothes were distributed to four families? They were saved from freezing to death? This... can save lives?"

People who were originally quite indifferent to this gradually changed their attitudes when faced with the clear daily announcement content on the bulletin board, and gradually developed different ideas about the matter itself.

Some students who did not participate in the agricultural assistance campaign were surprised to see their familiar friends working diligently, running around carrying supplies, counting quantities, and being meticulous and rigorous.

Once upon a time, everyone turned a deaf ear to the world outside and focused on reading the books of sages, paying no attention to what was happening in the outside world. After all, these days death is not news, but no death is news.

But now, everything has changed!
