I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 145 Gentlemen, follow me and fulfill your conscience!

After hearing what Yuan Wei said, Yuan Feng looked at Yuan Wei with some surprise.

"Ci Yang, you... you are not as cautious as before. Although you are already the Minister of the Court and the Yuan family has had three dukes for four generations, the Yuan family is still a Han official after all! This cannot be forgotten!"

"Yes, yes, brother. The Yuan family is of course a Han official, but the Yuan family is also the most important family in the world!"

Yuan Wei laughed and said, "What do other people dare not do? How can the Yuan family not dare to do it? If we are really as timid and afraid as others, how can the Yuan family become the most powerful family in the world? To be frank, brother, if the Yuan family firmly opposes the affairs of the Han Dynasty, how much can the court accomplish?"

After hearing this, Yuan Feng felt that these words were inexplicably hurtful.

He quickly shook Yuan Wei's hand.

"Ci Yang, listen carefully. The Zhong surname is the most common surname in the world. This is what outsiders say. We cannot say this ourselves, nor can we be proud of it. We cannot be arrogant and look down on others because of this. Otherwise, it will inevitably bring disaster!"

Yuan Wei sighed helplessly and nodded.

"I know, I know. It's right for brother to be cautious, but the Yuan family must show their edge, right? Otherwise, if they keep keeping a low profile, people will look down on them. In my opinion, this action of Shu should be regarded as an action for the Yuan family to establish its prestige.

The Yuan family was besieged by so many people before. In my opinion, it was also because we were too low-key and did not show our edge. Otherwise, how could the dignified Yuan family be bullied by so many villains? Brother, let Shu do it! "

"Show off your talents? In front of the Emperor?"

Yuan Feng, who was in charge of driving the emperor, swallowed his saliva and said worriedly: "Ci Yang, is this really okay? Although what you said makes sense, but..."

Yuan Wei sighed and shook his head.

"Don't worry, brother. Let's take this opportunity to see how many people dare to say bad things about our Yuan family. I let them go before, but if anyone talks nonsense again this time, I will never let them go easily!"

Yuan Wei's eyes were full of viciousness.

Obviously, he was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that the Yuan family was besieged but had to swallow their anger due to the overall situation. He had never forgotten the previous humiliation.

In addition, the Yuan family has already decided to depose and enthrone the emperor. After some operations, the Yuan family will inevitably become a more powerful super political force than it is now. In this case, it must have some special status and privileges that others do not have.

Otherwise, how could the Yuan family still be considered the most powerful family in the world?
He felt that his brother was too cautious and careful, and had lost the dignity that the Runan Yuan family should have.

Yuan Wei took a deep breath and decided to let Yuan Shu handle it on his own, and then see how many monsters and demons were ready to make a move in Luoyang City.

Yuan Shu had no idea what Yuan Wei was planning, and he didn't care what the evildoers in Luoyang City thought of him. He had only one goal, which was to save people.

Let those who can survive survive, let more people survive, and don’t let them lose the future they should have because of the inaction of the human-like apes in Luoyang City.

From any perspective, Yuan Shu is not a selfless good guy, but one thing he values is human life.

People in the Han Dynasty did not think that human life was of paramount importance and did not believe that human life was precious. However, Yuan Shu from later generations did not think so. He was extremely disgusted with any behavior that disregarded human life.

Regardless of whether they can live like human beings in the future, at least they must be able to stay alive!

live!

Yuan Shu had no more ideas and was ready to do his best to keep these people alive. To this end, he mobilized all the manpower he could. If all 7,000 people from the Yixin Society were not enough, then he would also mobilize all the more than 10,000 people from the Zhixing Academy.

In order to enable the students of these knowledge and action academies to act together with greater energy and spirit, Yuan Shu specially called them together to give a mobilization speech, telling them that this is a good time to follow their conscience and integrate knowledge and action!
Saving people from fire and water and saving their lives is the greatest conscience!
Gentlemen, follow me and appeal to your conscience!

Inspired by Yuan Shu's superb speaking skills, large numbers of students were inspired and excited.

They changed out of their long gowns, put on coarse cloth shorts, wore straw hats and raincoats, and were assigned to a Yi Xin member in groups of fifty. Under the leadership of the Yi Xin member, they rushed to where they were needed.

At that time, Lu Zhi, who was on the front line, needed help the most. Yuan Shu no longer stayed behind, but went to the front line in person, and took the boat that Jia Xu had hurriedly built to join the rescue operation.

Only after arriving at the front line did Yuan Shu realize how heartbreaking the situation was.

To be fair, the water is indeed not big and cannot be compared with those dam-breaking floods. It is not the case that the flood will sweep away everything and turn the land into a white waste.

But the problem was that the civilian settlements outside Luoyang City had basically no drainage facilities, only some small ditches, and the terrain was relatively low. After the flood overflowed the moat, it flooded directly over, first just over the ankles, then deeper and deeper, and finally flooded the houses. Some smart people left early and avoided this wave of floods.

Some people who were slow to react or did not think that the water would get deeper did not have time to leave. They did not want to leave. Their home was here, so where else could they go if they left?

Some unlucky people saw that the situation was not right and wanted to leave, but halfway through they found that the water was getting deeper and deeper and they could not walk anymore. They could not swim, so they could only find a tree to climb up and hope that God would appear and save them.

But where is God in this world?

Some are just ordinary but brave people.

Starting from the first day of June in the first year of Xiping, Yuan Shu personally led the fleet on the road to rescue people. When he saw people staying on the roof, on trees, or leaning on a piece of wood and struggling in the water, he quickly drove the boat over to lend a helping hand and rescued those who needed rescue one by one.

The people who were rescued thought they were sent by the government, so they thanked them profusely. However, the people who rescued them actually shook their heads.

We are not government officials; we are followers of the School of Mind, and disciples of the famous Yuan Jun of Runan.

We were sent by Yuan Jun to rescue you.

Yuan Shu's reputation had long been known to everyone inside and outside Luoyang City. Even illiterate children knew Yuan Shu. When they heard that it was Yuan Shu who sent people to rescue them, the rescued people were naturally grateful and fixed their gratitude on Yuan Shu.

In fact, Yuan Shu did not ask the rescuers to tell the rescued people these things. He was so anxious that he did not even consider this point. But the problem was that his personal reputation in the entire Yi Xin Hui and the Xin Xue School was extremely high.

His every word, every action, and every move have been regarded as the right way in the world by some fanatical admirers and followers.

As long as we do what he says, we can achieve our ultimate ideal. This understanding has become a relatively widespread common understanding within the entire Yuan Shu power group and is recognized by most people.

Even some people who have just joined this power group agree with this.

Especially after this incident happened, the court and the government did nothing, or did very little, but Yuan Shu gave everything he had, calling on everyone to go out and rescue people and follow their conscience. This approach further strengthened the recognition within the group.

Yuan Shu is not just talking for fun, he will really do what he says, no matter how much it costs, he will do it. He is really following his conscience and truly integrating knowledge and action. He is not Yuan Dapao, he really puts it into practice.

Whether it is building Liangzhuang, building Zhixing Academy, recruiting Yi Xin members and disciples, or now leading the group to rescue people at all costs, this confirms everyone's speculation.

Yuan Shu is a man who does what he says. He personally implements the ideas he puts forward. He says it, he believes it, he takes the lead in implementing it, and he will do anything to do so.

The government did not require it and the court did not issue an order, but he thought it was right. This was his conscience, so he followed his conscience and did not care about anything else. This is the ultimate meaning of the School of Mind.

To conscience.

The unity of knowledge and action.

Yuan Shu's style of setting an example and taking the lead greatly inspired people and further consolidated the sense of belief within the power group.

Originally, some management and conceptual difficulties caused by the rapid expansion of the entire power group disappeared with this large-scale collective action of conscience. Yuan Shu once again greatly improved his image and prestige.

A leader who does what he says, a leader who leads by example and leads the charge and can still win, a leader who moves forward courageously with conscience in mind, will convince his followers even if he does not come from a noble family or has great strength.

Therefore, although Yuan Shu’s actions did bring about many political risks, from another perspective, his “winning people’s hearts and minds” was extremely successful.

Who wouldn't want to trust someone who keeps his word and moves forward courageously?
The ancients said that a promise from Ji Bu is worth more than ten thousand taels of gold, and now, Yuan Shu is also using the same method to build his own golden signboard.

Even if you are on the opposite side of him, who can deny that he keeps his word and moves forward courageously?
Therefore, what Yuan Shu obtained was something that he himself did not notice at that time.

He had too much on his plate and too many decisions to make to really focus on them.

He had to save people, he had to arrange for the rescued people to be temporarily housed in refugee camps, he had to provide these people with food, clothing, and medicine, he had to ensure that they could survive and not starve to death, freeze to death, or die of disease.

Each of these incidents was a huge test for Yuan Shu and the entire Yi Xin Hui management team.
