Chapter 45 Public Opinion Hegemony
"That's right! I was just about to return the property to its original owner, but was unexpectedly rejected by Mr. Gu." Zhuang Renju said with an uneasy look on his face.

The county lady only got 20% of the shares, how could he, a land god, have the right to take half of it?

You know, Li Sigong and He Shigong only hold half of the shares.

"Excuse me, Mr. Li, do you have any Internet shares?" At this time, the local god nearby hurriedly asked the local god of Nanpo Township.

"How could Li deserve such a treasure?" Li Bogong of Nanpo Township said hurriedly, looking at Zhuang Renju with complicated eyes.

It was shock, jealousy, and even a bit of hope.

"This is strange. Lord Li just spoke up for justice in the temple, so why doesn't he have any shares?" The local gods who were watching the fun deliberately expressed their suspicion.

It would have been better if he hadn't said this. After he said it, Li Bogong felt even more uncomfortable.

Zhuang Renju felt more and more ashamed, and even felt burned!
“Hahaha… wonderful!”

The inspector burst into laughter when he heard this, and his laughter was full of joy!

"May I ask why you are laughing, sir?" Zhuang Renju asked anxiously.

"Mr. Zhuang, you can hold on to your Internet shares without worrying about it. This is the first merit of resisting the arrows of millions of people, and you deserve this reward!"

The inspector revealed the secret in one sentence.

In ancient times, the first person to gain merit in breaking a city was called the first to ascend the city wall and gain a firm foothold. The person would be promoted three levels in a row and be rewarded as a marquis of ten thousand households!
His contribution is far greater than beheading the general and capturing the flag!

This is to encourage the soldiers to charge bravely!
In order to prevent people from hesitating, weighing the pros and cons, trying to be clever, etc., the credit for being the first to reach the top is given to only one person.

Because everyone knows how terrible the attack will be for those who reach there first.

Obviously, what Gu Yunli rewarded was the merit of being the first to reach the summit.

Facing one-sided criticism, he still dared to stand up. No matter how he weighed the pros and cons in his heart, this is an incredible achievement!
This is clearly told to the world.

Whoever is the first to break through the city for Gu Yunli will be rewarded handsomely!

This is a clear distinction between rewards and punishments. How could the inspector not be happy?

You can feel free to interact with such people.

All the local gods were Taoist scholars with good knowledge. After hearing what was said, they finally understood. They were shocked and regretted it so much.

If they had known to speak first, the credit for being the first to arrive would have belonged to them.

Especially Li Bogong from Nanpo Township, his expression froze when he looked at Zhuang Renju.

Just one step wrong and he missed a great opportunity.

Regret it!

But what's the use of this?

When you are timid, hesitant, or even weigh the pros and cons, everything is too late.

What Gu Bogong wants is unhesitating loyalty and courage!
……

……

Before long, news spread across the Internet that Yong County had reduced offerings to the God of Land by 30%, that the Internet had opened up its shareholder access system, and that Yunzhou City God had invested in the company.

This caused an uproar in Yong County and surrounding counties.

I don't know how many governors and county lords took action after hearing the news.

However, for most netizens, compared to these major events that have nothing to do with them;

The fact that Liujiagou Zhuangbogong was granted Internet equity is even more down-to-earth and intriguing!
"To be honest with you, I was at the scene, but I won't reveal my identity. I can only say that the situation was extremely dangerous. Countless people attacked Gu Bogong, and even the governor came to ask for punishment. When Gu Bogong was in danger, it was Zhuang Bogong who stepped forward and said, 'I'm scolding you!' The people were speechless!"

"Isn't it? It was only after Lord Zhuang raised his arm and shouted that all the knowledgeable people in the palace reacted and launched a counterattack. Otherwise, where would we have the Internet now? We would have gone back to the old state of staring at each other in amazement."

"I'm really disgusted by this group of officials. They are incompetent and don't look for their own problems, but they have the nerve to find trouble with the Internet. They don't even look at how many people the Internet has benefited since its emergence."

"They are just a bunch of bastards! I am just confused. What's wrong with the Internet being a divine art? If they have the ability to force Gu Bogong to abdicate, why can't they force the Sanqing Palace to abdicate?"

"Be careful what you say upstairs! Be careful what you say!"

"Hahaha, how magnificent!"

"Mr. Zhuang is truly a brave man!"

“Even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go!” “Even if there are tens of thousands of people, I will go!”

"..."

Under the hegemony of public opinion that no one has yet realized, public opinion on the Internet is almost one-sided.

Occasionally, if a few unfavorable remarks pop up, they will be dealt with by a one-stop service of “limiting traffic”, “hiding”, and “surrounding with internet trolls”!
The image of Zhuang Bogong who is not afraid of the powerful and speaks out for justice has been established on the Internet!
This made netizens excited and they all applauded!
The words "Even if there are tens of thousands of people against me, I will still go" swept the community.

Later, Gu Yunli had a keen eye for talent and happily granted him equity, which made everyone so excited and jealous.

I only regret that I was not there, otherwise the credit for being the first to arrive would have fallen on me anyway.

I believe that if there is a similar scene again, countless people will cheer for Gu Bogong and charge forward bravely!

……

……

In the underground palace of the Liujiagou Land God Temple, Zhuang Bogong sat on the official hat chair, slightly closed his eyes, and browsed the community section.

He just glanced at it and saw a lot of praise. He felt his chest filled with righteousness, his blood boiling, and his face was full of silly smiles!
Am I that good?
So, what on earth was I thinking?

It seemed like... I didn't think about anything, my blood just boiled and I rushed forward.

Do not!
How can we say that our blood is boiling?

This is what we call loyalty and courage!

You treat me as a nobleman of the country, and I will repay you as a nobleman of the country!
……

……

However, not all heroes are shining and admirable.

When Liujiagou Zhuangbogong attracted much attention on the Internet;

Wu Bogong of Solo Village, who had fought for the interests of the God of Land all over the world, could only return alone to the land temple where there were few worshippers.

The underground palace is cold and quiet.

Logically speaking, Wu Bogong should have been used to it by now.

However, for him who had just experienced great ups and downs, this situation made him feel indescribable sadness.

Although he returned with a great victory, no one congratulated him. Even the messengers under his command looked at him with strange eyes. This feeling made him somewhat disheartened.

Even heart-breaking!

He knew, why no one dared to come?

The county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now.

He went over the head of the chain of command to sue Gu Yunli, and not only sued Gu Yunli, but also the major Internet shareholder Yin Xianjun. Now that he seems to have won, he has actually offended Yin Xianjun.

The future is dangerous!
"The road ahead is full of dangers and obstacles, but the path ahead is smooth and peaceful."

Wu Bogong sighed softly, and had the idea of ​​resigning and returning home.

However, he changed his mind and rejected it.

If he loses the protection of his official position, he will probably die a more miserable death. Right now, he can only deal with it as it comes!

I just hope that these people would not dare to take action out of consideration for the governor.

"Da da da……"

As my thoughts wandered, I heard footsteps and saw the ghost messenger come in and report:
"Your Highness, Mr. Wu, the landowners of Dazhou Township, Cuifengping, and Xiaozhao Village are seeking an audience outside the palace."

"Ok?"

Wu Bogong was startled and said quickly, "Please come in quickly!"

The Yin messenger received the order and left. Not long after, he saw four or five land gods coming together.

"Today, we are deeply grateful to Mr. Wu for taking the lead and buying a breathing space for all the gods in the world. We hope Mr. Wu will not mind my late arrival today!" After the land gods entered the house, they bowed and apologized.

"You are too kind!" Wu Bogong said quickly, his eyes could not help but turn red and he was about to cry.

He doesn't ask for much, just a word of recognition is enough!
