Chapter 1388 A strategy for long-term peace and stability
Qin Huaidao squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, but shook his head.
"Okay, you go down first."
Hades took a deep breath, wanting to say something else, or waiting for Qin Huaidao to say something, but unexpectedly he was dismissed with one sentence.
He could only leave respectfully.
Soon, the second person arrived.
"The little man Charlie Dinbrough is just a farmer."
Charlie Dinbrough was dressed in rags and looked to be no more than forty years old, but he was extremely old.
Life is not easy for poor people, and they naturally age quickly.
"Okay, let me ask you a question, what is loyalty?"
When the same question was asked from Qin Huaidao, he naturally did not hesitate at all.
"Loyal to Your Majesty!"
Qin Huaidao smiled and said softly: "Okay, let's go down."
Charlie Dinbru left respectfully, and soon the third, fourth, and soon five people also finished their examinations.
Qin Huaidao glanced at Li Chunfeng, Luo Wu and Xue Wanshu.
"What do you think of these five people?"
After saying this, Luo Wu and Xue Wanshu looked at each other. The answers of these five people were almost the same.
Loyal to the country, loyal to His Majesty, loyal to the people...
Li Chunfeng, on the other hand, took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the answer to this question you want to ask is to make them loyal to Your Majesty, right?"
Li Chunfeng knew that Qin Huaidao wanted to rule here, so how could he completely rule here if he was not loyal to the emperor?
But after he finished speaking, Qin Huaidao shook his head.
"Are you loyal to me? How is that possible?"
"I don't expect them to be really loyal to me, but if they can really do it, then it will be good."
As soon as these words came out, Li Chunfeng and the others were even more confused.
Not loyal to His Majesty?
So...how to rule?
"Your Majesty, I... I don't understand."
Li Chunfeng asked subconsciously.
"Actually, it's very simple. I'm not from the Frankish Empire. To them, I'm just a powerful outsider."
"If you are not of the same race, you will not be of the same mind. This is an ancient truth, and you should know it."
After Qin Huaidao said this, he slowly stood up.
"But I... still want to rule this place completely, just like testing your last human proposition. What I want to hear is the truth, and I don't want to hear falsehoods. This is the bottom line for them."
"And the question I asked depends on their mind, their minds, and even more importantly, their structure!"
"If they can't figure this out, I won't be able to use any of these five people!"
Qin Huaidao did not explain the answer, but said something like this.
Li Chunfeng had a vague understanding, raised his hands and said: "What your Majesty means, do you want to hear...the answer that they are loyal to the people?"
Qin Huaidao laughed and nodded immediately.
"Yes, you still understand me!"
"Be loyal to the people, and they will understand that the current stability and prosperity of their Frankish Empire were hard-won. Even if they have different intentions in the future, they should understand who will be injured when a war starts?"
"War, in the Frankish Empire, naturally caused their people to suffer from fire and water. If they are unable to realize this problem, they will never really let me worry about it."
"As for being loyal to me? Hahaha, it's possible now, but what if I die a hundred years later? What if the new emperor doesn't get their respect?"
"I just want to tell them a truth now!"
"Loyalty to the people is what makes a good minister, and it is also a necessary condition for them to become lords!"
After Qin Huaidao finished speaking, Li Chunfeng finally understood. He had only vaguely guessed Qin Huaidao's thoughts just now.
yes!
If you are loyal to the people, you should know that what the people want is nothing more than peace and joy!
There are clothes to wear, meat to eat, wine to drink, charcoal fires in winter, ice water in summer...
These are the good days!
But war will only bring them chaos.
Displaced!
It is obviously impossible to think this way in a big man.
But it’s most appropriate to put it here!
"What your Majesty said is true. Then among these five people, only one of them gave an answer that satisfied you."
Li Chunfeng bowed his hands and said.
"Well, let's go and choose. Just choose two people."
Qin Huaidao waved his hand, compared to the answers in the literary test, the questions in this palace test are more important!
Only with a far-reaching vision and a broader mind can we achieve lasting peace and stability.
If there are a few ambitious people with nationalistic sentiments, Frank will not be able to rule for long!
Qin Huaidao must take a three-pronged approach!
Culture, with the long-term plan of teaching Han culture in the book hall, gradually assimilated these Westerners.
The force, the special envoys and the army who stayed here, used their transcendent status to coerce them, so that they would not dare to resist for a hundred years!
The overall situation requires those who know that the people's well-being is hard-earned to take the dominant position, and these people... are smart people, stupid people, and cowards at the same time!
A three-pronged approach can achieve long-term peace and stability. This is the real method for Qin Huaidao to rule here!
"Understood, Your Majesty!"
Li Chunfeng immediately accepted the order and then went to screen again.
In just one day, three people were selected.
The three of them came to the front of the hall and knelt respectfully in front of Qin Huaidao, with excitement in their eyes.
"The three of you are the lords of this imperial city from today on."
"But today, I want to tell you a truth, a principle for you to train candidates in this life, and even in the future when you step down as lord!"
"This is also the question I asked you, what is loyalty?"
"Loyalty does not mean being loyal to me. I am a wise king, so you can naturally be loyal to me, but I am a foolish king? Are you still loyal to me?"
"As for being loyal to the Han Dynasty, there is no need to do so. Just like me, if the Han Dynasty were to decline and be eaten away from all directions, wouldn't you still be alive?"
"But the people are always there, and it is they you must be loyal to!"
"Let them be fed and warm, let them be safe and happy, and let them live their lives in peace and stability!"
"This is your code!"
"This is what I want to see the most, do you understand?"
Qin Huaidao looked at the three of them, and what he said was very beautiful, which made the three of them fall into admiration!
Although Qin Huaidao's words can be regarded as deceiving them, he only said so much to brainwash them and let them take the people's well-being as the criterion and not start fighting.
But... these words are not wrong!
Because only in this way will the Frankish Empire be stable for a long time and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. Otherwise, if Qin Huaidao's army sweeps in, they will surely die!
Of course, the reason why Qin Huaidao wasted so much energy was definitely not to take control of the Frankish Empire while he was in power.
But even if he has been dead for ten years, a hundred years, or even a thousand years!
The Frankish Empire is still within their grasp!
Truly enslave Western countries in terms of culture and humanity!
