Chapter 327 He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world
Suddenly, the sky changed, and the people in the three counties were panicked.
after all.
It's one thing to say it, but it's another thing when it's your turn.
No matter how good the rumored fourth princess is in publicity, she is grabbing the territory of Chongming Kingdom.
And seizing Chongming's territory means there will be war.
War means merit to the generals above, and territory to the monarch.
But for ordinary people, it means death, a homeless life, endless taxes...
No one likes war.
But soon, people in the three counties discovered that the fourth princess was really different from others.
After the Fourth Princess's army took control of the county, the first thing they did was not to plunder, but to issue a pamphlet asking everyone to abide by the law of equality between men and women. They also set up a women's aid office next to the county office to specifically accept cases.
In cases where women suffer abuse, coercion, restriction of educational freedom and other unfair cases, the female government office has the same rights as the county government office;
At the same time, it is required that all colleges and private schools must equally recruit female students and allow women to enroll. Private schools that do not agree to this will be severely punished and charged with discriminating against women;
If ordinary families take the initiative to send their daughters to school, the county government will give them a plaque of a model family after verifying the authenticity.
For those who have a model family plaque, the county government will give a one-time material reward and reduce the girl's tax before she becomes an adult;
all in all.
In the area under the jurisdiction of the fourth princess, the status of women has been unprecedentedly improved, even better than the equality between men and women she previously promoted.
So many men have begun to worry that if things continue like this, one day in the future, the status of men and women will be reversed.
But soon.
They don't worry anymore.
Because among the people, such a wise man's rumor suddenly spread.
after all.
This is the territory of the Chongming Kingdom. Compared with the huge Chongming Kingdom, Luo Shuang's thousands of people are at best rogue bandits, and they may be beaten away or wiped out at any time...
When she rules, just play with her. When Chongming regains its lost territory, everything will be restored to its original state.
The great thing is that if you send the girls to school for a few days, they will have nothing to lose anyway;
On the contrary, some girls are not sent to school.
Maybe the fourth princess took the opportunity to attack, and the tax sword was chopped off on their heads...
A model family is an excuse for the four princesses to raise money and food.
Passed on by word of mouth.
All the stubborn people seemed to wake up in an instant, and rushed to send the girl to school, and then went to the county government office to receive a plaque for a model family.
The policy of gender equality seems to be in compliance with the public sentiment and has been implemented very smoothly.
Not only that.
Same reason, same excuse.
Organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce and the Craftsmen Association that advocated equality for everyone were established very smoothly, with almost no one resisting...
In two or three days, the three counties captured by Huangfu Yue had completed the transformation and switched to another operating mode.
It seems that everyone is a pioneer of change, and no one is stubborn and conservative, jumping out to block the pace of change.
In the past, this was simply impossible.
Huangfuyue heard his father talk about conquering tribes beyond the Great Wall. After winning the war, education was always the most difficult thing to do, and it would take at least several decades to complete.
But He Xu created a few plaques, created a series of rumors, and easily transformed several counties into the model he wanted.
That wretched guy is so scary.
Why would such a talented person fight in such a disgusting way?
These two days.
Huangfuyue had a lot of things to do, but whenever she was free, her mind would flash back to the battle scene that night.
A layer of goosebumps would appear on her body involuntarily, and her whole body would itch, just like those water snakes were still wrapped around her body.
It was like Doug's voice and smile had taken root in her mind, and she couldn't get rid of it no matter what.
It has been two nights, and she has been dreaming about water snakes dancing wildly.
After waking up, I felt lost.
Until now, Huangfuyue was a little unclear whether her feelings for Duge were hatred or not.
…
Doug naturally knows the reaction of the people.
What he wants is this simple and easy implementation, no matter what method he uses!
Habit is second nature.
Once people have adapted to the current lifestyle, as long as they gain a firm foothold under Chongming's attack, it will not be so easy to overthrow these established policies.
Everyone is afraid of trouble.
With these three counties as pilot projects, it will be easier to convince them when they conquer other counties in the future.
If anyone disagrees, just as the rumors say, the tax knife will be chopped off on their heads...
True and false, false and true.
Isn’t that what Sun Tzu taught in the Art of War?
…
The problem of military rations can also be easily solved.
Duge specially issued a notice. For those who voluntarily donate military rations, money, and cloth, the four princesses will issue a donation certificate. After returning to the country, they can use the donation certificate to obtain three times the compensation, or convert it into military merit, and enjoy the highest feudal status.
The treatment of the nobles;
Because of the existence of previous rumors, most people still expected Chongming to regain its lost territory and were not enthusiastic about donating grain in exchange for titles.
The slogan of equality between men and women is false, but the food in your hands is real. Once you donate it, it will really be gone. The certificate issued by the fourth princess will be just a piece of waste paper when she dies...
But Duggar had his own way.
After the announcement was sent out, Duge asked Huangfuyue to find a bunch of shills to create the illusion of people eager to receive food.
Car after cart of grain was sent to Yutangguan.
The big landowners and wealthy businessmen who had received the certificates for donating grain became the guests of Yutangguan. They would return to the county town every day with glowing faces. However, when others inquired about the benefits they had received, they could not find out anything.
But one day later, more grain trucks drove into Yutangguan, and there was an endless stream.
The common people also confirmed through the servants who loaded the grain that what the rich families loaded into the cars was really grain and not a lie...
Wealthy families represent the trend, and the common people believe that their vision is correct, and they don't look like they are being coerced.
then.
Those in the family who were rich in money and food also tried to carry it on their shoulders and hands, and sent the excess food to Yutangguan in exchange for a donation certificate from the fourth princess. The donation certificate was gilded and placed on a wooden box wrapped in red silk.
Inside the box, it looks quite luxurious;
Moreover, they were also draped in red and colorful colors at Yutang Pass, and spoke on the stage facing the neatly arranged officers and soldiers below. They were thanked ceremoniously by the four princesses and treated like distinguished guests, so much so that when they returned home, they were still dizzy.
.
The whole person has an erratic feeling of stepping on the clouds, and feels that the donated food is not a loss at all...
after all.
In this world, ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to be so majestic and respected by everyone.
With the first household, there was a second household, and more and more grain trucks were sent to Yutang Pass, which perfectly solved the food crisis of the soldiers guarding the gate.
…
"Master, isn't it bad for us to do this?" Luo Shuang looked at the batches of grains that came in, feeling a little uneasy, "Do we really want to return these grains to those wealthy households?"
"Yes, of course. Didn't I say it before? People cannot stand without trust. If you fail to fulfill your promise to them, it will never be possible to get their support in the future." Du Ge said, "
Princess, the one who wins the hearts and minds of the people wins the world. If you destroy the hearts of the people, we will never have a chance to restore our country."
What do you mean I have defeated all the people’s hearts!
If you want to be defeated, it’s you who will be defeated!
If the people want to know what you have done, I will be the first to be torn apart...
Luo Shuang complained and said resentfully: "The money of the wealthy gentry will be returned in full, and the money of the common people will be divided into 30 and 70 cents. Are we going too far towards the common people by doing this?"
aside.
Huangfu looked at his eyes and nose, and his nose looked at his heart. Until now, his heart was still a mess.
He never thought that Du Ge would use such a method to defraud the grain and grass, pay back the money of the wealthy gentry in full, and divide the money of the common people into 30-70 accounts. This guy's heart is completely dark!
At this time, Huangfuxing even suspected that He Xu had reached a conspiracy with the fourth prince. According to his approach, no matter how stable the Chongming country was, it would not take long before the people who were disturbed by him would be miserable.
He doesn't even need to do anything else, he just needs to take the money and food he got and run away.
"Is it too much?" Duge smiled, "Didn't the people get what they wanted? We told them the role of the donation certificate from the beginning, and we didn't deceive them! They also took the initiative to send food...
…”
"That's true, but..." Luo Shuang frowned.
"Princess, don't you have confidence in yourself?" Duge looked at Luo Shuang and took out the cane, "Has a small Yutang Pass made you forget your purpose?"
"Master, I don't." The moment Luo Shuang saw the cane, she became nervous and stuttered when speaking.
"That's fine. After you return to the country, you can fulfill their promises and there won't be any problems." Duge said seriously, "Princess, I have never wanted to deceive the people. All donation certificates are based on your
It was signed in your name, and those wealthy businessmen were also impressed by your creditworthiness.
If you want to preserve your reputation and not disappoint the people who have high hopes for you, you must use all your energy to deal with the restoration of the country.
This is both pressure and motivation for you. Otherwise, once you fail to restore the country, you will become the most notorious princess in history, the kind that will be infamy for thousands of years..."
But you did everything!
Luo Shuang's tears rolled around in her eyes several times, but after all she didn't say anything to complain about Duge.
She knew that everything Du Ge did was to avenge her, and she should be responsible for all this.
otherwise.
With Master’s talent, why would he do such obscene things!
Luo Shuang took a deep breath: "I understand, Master."
