After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 302: Original Intention

For some reason, when Prime Minister Xu saw Gan Luo's current state, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He tried his best to calm himself down, afraid that he would faint from anger if he stayed any longer.

"I only want to ask you one thing: why do you allow these people to beat these ordinary people here? Don't you know that ordinary people are also human beings? Yet you are letting them be whipped here?"

Faced with Gan Luo's relentless questioning, Prime Minister Xu was momentarily at a loss for words. Gan Luo only knew that he was now speechless, unable to articulate his reasoning.

These things were clearly not his intention, and he had no idea why they had turned out this way.

Moreover, these are things that shouldn't be asked of him here; why are the soldiers asking him these questions?

Gan Luo has been questioning him all along.

Faced with Gan Luo's repeated questioning, everyone simply shut their mouths and dared not say another word. They felt that if they continued to talk like this, they would definitely be in deep trouble. In the end, they simply kept their mouths shut and stayed quietly in this place.

Gan Luo walked up to one of the commoners and asked him, "Sir, I would like to know why you are unwilling to move away from this place. Is it because you have nowhere to live? If not, I would like to arrange a place for you to live and also have the court provide you with subsidies. What do you think?"

Everyone was certainly surprised when they heard what Gan Luo said, but some people were afraid that Gan Luo was just talking and would not take any real action.

"Regarding this matter, what I want to tell you right now is that I will definitely be alright. Keeping my promise is something I promised you. Regardless of whether the court will provide you with subsidies, I will definitely give them to you."

Gan Luo understood just how important this water conservancy project was and that he needed everyone's approval.

Gan Luo then turned his attention to these officials, who now felt ashamed of their own abilities and had to admire Gan Luo's capabilities.

At the beginning, they thought that Gan Luo would have no chance of persuading these common people, but now they have managed to convince them to waver.

Gan Luo understood that what the people wanted most right now was stability. If they were given stability now, the people would naturally be willing to accept it...

If they cannot provide these people with stability, then these people will certainly not want to leave now.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for helping us all today. We are all willing to listen to what Your Highness has to say. We are all willing to leave this place, and we only hope that Your Highness will keep your word."

Gan Luo turned around and glanced at the people behind him, then told them what to do. They immediately made arrangements. After Gan Luo finished doing all this, the officials in the court all felt that they were indeed no match for Gan Luo.

Yuan Zheng then took all these ordinary people from the dawn away.

After Yuan Zheng took all the ordinary people away, Gan Luo gave them a large sum of money. The officials around him felt a little guilty when they saw this, so they apologized to Gan Luo.

"It was our fault, Your Highness. We are grateful for your guidance. We now know what we should do next. We hope Your Highness can forgive us for our actions."

"I don't think you need to apologize to me. If you really want to apologize, you should apologize to these ordinary people, not to me here. After all, you have wronged these ordinary people, not me. The people trust you so much, and yet you treat them like this?"

If Gan Luo hadn't come here, how would they have dealt with these common people? Gan Luo didn't even dare to think about it; he'd probably give them another good beating later.

If violence could solve the problem, then why would we need laws? And why would we allow them to do so? The idea of ​​putting the people first is laughable, even to Gan Luo. If the officials force the people to rebel, it will only cause some trouble for the royal family.

Gan Luo then went directly to Gan Yanling. When Gan Yanling saw Gan Luo's return, there were some differences. More importantly, there was still mud on Gan Luo's body.

"I visited the site of the water conservancy project today and had a chat with the officials and people. I hope Your Majesty will punish the officials properly today."

After Gan Luo finished speaking, Gan Yanling was somewhat puzzled. He didn't understand why they were suddenly going to punish these officials. What had these officials done wrong?

“These officials have indeed made some mistakes, and more importantly, I feel that they did not need to make these mistakes, but they have already done so, so they must be punished.”

Gan Luo had already explained the whole story to the king in front of him.

After learning everything, Gan Yanling was completely shocked. He never imagined that they would actually use whips to beat these ordinary people.

"I hope that Your Majesty will be more discerning when selecting officials next time, and that you will not resort to violence to solve problems, but rather use reason to resolve them."

Faced with Gan Luo's words, Gan Yanling naturally took them all to heart. What Gan Luo said was indeed quite reasonable, and it was indeed his problem.

At this moment, Gan Yanling truly felt that he was not a good ruler, but he did not say it aloud.
