Chapter 422: Ideological Gaps
“The ideological gap, from its fundamental cause, stems from the fear of the unknown. To understand a race, one must first understand that race’s culture…”
At this point, Luo Ji decisively raised his eyebrows at Lu Yang below him.
“We must start from the aspect of culture.”
“Culture?”
Lu Yang’s face was filled with difficulty.
“The problem is, do the Beastmen really have such a thing as culture?”
“It’s alright.”
Luo Ji waved his hand.
“Culture doesn’t necessarily have to be profound things. Sometimes folk culture is better than those…”
After speaking, Luo Ji silently added in his heart, “Besides, if there’s no culture, I can create some culture.”
“Then, Your Majesty intends to promote Beastman culture within Human cities, so that your people can understand this?”
When saying this, Lu Yang’s tone was exceptionally subtle.
“No, no, no.”
Luo Ji quickly waved his hand.
“That would be too dull. If we did that, probably few people would be willing to learn.”
To this, Lu Yang secretly nodded in agreement.
He also felt the same way, which was why his tone was so subtle just now.
In terms of culture, when facing the Beastman Race, many Humans carried a clear sense of superiority.
There was no denying it; Human civilization had developed far better than Beastman civilization.
This was a fact.
Under this premise, it was unavoidable for occasional individuals among Humans to develop a sense of superiority.
Therefore, with Luo Ji himself realizing this point, Lu Yang was somewhat curious.
How exactly did their emperor intend to make the Human Race understand the Beastman Race’s culture?
“Then, according to Your Majesty’s intention, what are you planning?”
“Perform an opera!”
Luo Ji said these three words mysteriously.
“Perform an opera?”
Lu Yang, hearing this unfamiliar term, was utterly bewildered.
“Forgive this humble subject’s ignorance, Your Majesty, what is ‘performing an opera?’”
“You’ll know later.”
Luo Ji said, handing the report back to Lu Yang.
“As for now, just follow your plan and issue the orders to stabilize the situation on both sides.”
“Yes.”
Seeing that the emperor would not elaborate, Lu Yang naturally dared not press further.
After receiving the report, he quickly returned to his seat.
After carefully writing down his solution word by word, he stretched his limbs slightly and instinctively glanced at the clock in the office.
Immediately, he was shocked!
He quickly calculated the time in his head and realized that it had taken him almost an hour to process this single report.
Lu Yang, realizing this, quickly checked the other documents he had already processed.
Subsequently, the bitterness on his face became completely undisguisable.
He recalled that back in the Secretary Office, his work efficiency was famously high.
Yet, on his first day in this new post, this dreadful work efficiency had completely shattered his expectations!
More than half the day had passed, and he had only accomplished so little.
This made Lu Yang even more keenly aware of the difference in work content between the two positions.
To give a simple example, for documents sent to the Secretary Office, Lu Yang might finish reviewing and approving them in a few minutes, or even after a brief thought, then move on to the next document.
However, for documents sent to Luo Ji’s office, Lu Yang might receive one and have to ponder over the solution for 10 or 20 minutes before finalizing it.
After processing it and moving to the next document, he might still uncontrollably worry about whether there were any mistakes in the previous one.
This back and forth, of course, took up time!
The reason for this, naturally, was that the documents sent here were generally much trickier than those sent to the Secretary Office!
“His Majesty actually has to deal with so many tricky matters every day?”
For a moment, Lu Yang turned to look at Luo Ji, who was seated at the main desk, and the stack of tall documents on Luo Ji’s desk.
His eyes were filled with admiration, and even his loyalty increased slightly.
Luo Ji, on the other hand, did not have high expectations for the work efficiency of Lu Yang, the “newcomer” who had just assumed the position of Assistant Official on his first day.
After all, even a genius needed some time to adapt to the work content.
Luo Ji estimated that Lu Yang’s work efficiency should quickly improve in about a week.
Before that, he, as the emperor, would definitely have to continue working hard.
Fortunately, Luo Ji had long been accustomed to this workload, and the number of reports sent today was relatively small.
So, by just past 2:00 PM, he had already finished all the work at hand.
Luo Ji stretched vigorously, then turned to glance at Lu Yang, who was still buried in his work, and asked.
“Lu Yang, how much work do you still have left?”
Hearing the question, Lu Yang looked up at Luo Ji, who had already finished all his work, and his expression was one of bewilderment.
The number of documents on Luo Ji’s desk was several times more than his, yet he had finished before him?
This work efficiency was simply too exaggerated.
However, what Lu Yang did not know was that Luo Ji’s rapid work efficiency was partly because he was a modern person.
Having seen many different things, his mind was very flexible.
Some problems that seemed very tricky to ancient people, he could figure out the answer with a slight turn of thought.
For example, opera; without any prior inspiration, could someone in ancient times suddenly think of this? Clearly, it was unlikely.
The other reason was even simpler: Luo Ji had used a silver-grade ‘Political Affairs Processing’ skill book on himself, greatly increasing his efficiency in handling government affairs.
He had acquired this skill book from an auction house, spending quite a bit of civilization points when he was previously stuck in a work-heavy period.
This skill book was not cheap, but looking at the current effect, it was worth the money.
Feeling Luo Ji’s gaze, Lu Yang, realizing his moment of distraction, quickly composed himself.
“Your Majesty, please forgive me for my lapse in composure.”
“No harm done.”
Luo Ji waved his hand.
“Have you finished processing all the documents assigned to you?”
“This humble subject is ashamed. There are still four documents left to process, but I can finish them within the day.”
“That’s good then.”
Luo Ji nodded. Since there was enough time, he would let Lu Yang continue to handle them at his own pace, which would also allow him to gain experience.
As for himself, he needed to properly prepare for the opera.
This was something no one else could help him with.
