Chapter 303: Gaining the hearts and minds of the people

The capital is still as prosperous as in the past, with a lot of traffic, and people are busy with their own small business, paying hard sweat and earning a meager income.

But they are still very happy, as long as there are no dignitaries to take advantage of it, for these people, it is a festival.

Although there was a lot of noise everywhere, and small traders and vendors were selling their wares at the top of their voices, the sound of silk and bamboo was still in the ears, as if it was everywhere.

All of them were immersed in their own comfortable lives for the time being, and no one paid attention to those who were gnawed by tigers. Everyone was deceived by the superficial comfort, no, it should be that the people are deceiving themselves.

They obviously know very well that as long as those so-called officials make a move, they can make them lose everything, but when the people still have some meager comfort in their hands, they will still indulge in it.

Maybe it's because it's not easy to live a comfortable life, and it's precisely because these people know that as long as the officials are unhappy for a while, they will lose their comfortable life, so they will devote themselves to a comfortable life, and enjoy a comfortable life before they lose it.

Xingzhe walked on the street, looking at the groups of people who seemed to be drunk, and he was inevitably a little helpless in his heart, life is like this, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive.

When the officials are powerful and powerful, they bully the ordinary people, take them by force, and do all kinds of evil. The people can only endure it, even if they go to report to the official, there will be no good results, and the protection of officials has long become an unwritten rule in the officialdom.

The people, who have nothing, can only become the granary of corrupt officials, and everything they have seems to be ready to be dedicated to corrupt officials.

The people planted grain and harvested it with sharp sickles when it was ripe. In the same way, corrupt officials wait for the people to harvest, and then take it from the hands of the people.

This world is like this, the strong oppress the weak, and the weak can only find the weaker person, and then bully the one he finds, the weaker person than him, just like he was oppressed before.

Xingzhe took Xi Yao and Xiaoling to the palace of the third prince, and when the doorman just wanted to stop Xingzhe, Xingzhe took out the prince's gold medal that Qin Yu gave him.

When the doorman saw it, he was stunned at first, and then immediately overturned both sides, saluted, and then helped Xingzhe open the door.

Xingzhe couldn't help but nodded, the soldiers Qin Yu was looking for looked pretty good, at least none of them were sloppy, and they all only focused on their posts.

Under the leadership of Qin Yu's soldiers, Xingzhe came to the study.

Bang bang bang.

Xingzhe casually knocked on the door three times.

"Please come in."

Qin Yu's voice sounded a little tired, and it seemed that he should be worried about the matter of the throne.

Xingzhe pushed open the door and walked into the study, he saw Qin Yu with a haggard face, the dark circles under his eyes were already very heavy, and the peach wood table in front of him was full of all kinds of maps and planning drawings.

"Your Highness, I'm back."

Xingzhe saw Qin Yu's haggard appearance, and he knew that Qin Yu was not only worried about the affairs of the people, but also worried about Xingzhe's safety.

Because Xingzhe saw it, Qin Yu had a peace blessing in his hand, and Xingzhe's name was written on it.

"You are...... Who is it? ”

When Qin Yu heard Xingzhe's words, he was first excited, but what he heard was a female voice, and when he looked up, it turned out to be three women, and he didn't know any of these three women.

"Your Highness, I'm Xingzhe, I can't do anything about dressing like this, there are still people who want me, if it's not tolerated, I won't be able to return to the capital at all."

Xingzhe took out the prince's gold medal and returned it to Qin Yu. After Qin Yu received the prince's gold medal, he looked at Xingzhe with a surprised expression, and finally determined that the airport beauty in front of him was Xingzhe.

"Xingzhe, you guy, you haven't given me a message for so long, I thought you had been ...... Forget it, it's great that you're back safely now. ”

Qin Yu rushed over directly, hugged Xingzhe like a buddy, and gently patted Xingzhe's back, very excited.

"Okay, you let go of me first, I'm uncomfortable when I shoot it."

Xingzhe broke free from Qin Yu's embrace, pulled three stools from the side, and sat down at the table with Xi Yao and Xiao Ling.

"Tell me what the situation is now, we just came back, and we don't know much about the current situation in the capital. Only when we have a clear understanding of the situation can we formulate corresponding strategies according to the situation. ”

Xingzhe took a blank piece of paper, and then pushed the pen and ink in front of Qin Yu.

"The current situation is not complicated, although the eldest brother can rightfully inherit the throne, but because he has not found the jade seal, he can only put it on hold. The second brother has already begun to act, he has sent people to monitor the eldest brother, and at the same time, he is also searching for the whereabouts of the jade seal. Because I can't reveal my intentions, I can only send a few government soldiers to monitor the eldest brother and second brother, at least when they find the jade seal, I can immediately make a correct response. ”

While drawing a picture on the paper, Qin Yu told Xingzhe about the current situation. His method was to ask the crown prince and the second prince to find it, and when they found the jade seal, he would grab it.

Surprise and attack unprepared.

Now the crown prince's attention is on the second prince, and the second prince's attention is on the prince, and Qin Yu is a blind spot here, not paying attention to what Qin Yu is going to do.

If Qin Yu suddenly made a move at this time, then whether it was the crown prince or the second prince, they would not have any preparations, and Qin Yu's chances of success were still very high.

"I know where the jade seal is, but now is not the time to take it out. Although His Majesty the Emperor also left a decree specifying that you should inherit the throne. But let's not talk about whether it is unreasonable to let the three princes inherit the throne, there is such a thing as a holy decree, which can be forged with a little power. ”

In the secret room of Dali Temple before, Xingzhe saw Feng Lingtian, and he not only had the holy decree in his hand, but also the jade seal.

But Feng Lingtian hasn't come out until now, there must be a reason for him, Xingzhe thought about it carefully, and only came up with a few points.

"Then we should do something now, gain the trust and support of the people, and when the time is ripe, we will take out the jade seal and the holy decree, plus the support of the people, the will of the people, the expectations of the people, even if the holy decree is false, we can ascend the throne in the voice of the people. But ......"

Speaking of this, Qin Yu suddenly couldn't go on, he looked a little hesitant, he should not bear to attack his own brother. After all, he is still too kind, so he will be a little indecisive.

"For the sake of the people of the world, your so-called brothers can only sacrifice a little. And they themselves are killing each other, maybe they will point the finger at you at any point, and if you die at the hands of your brother, then everything will be over. Those who were suffering could only continue to suffer. Therefore, please focus on the overall situation, for the sake of the people of Datang, someone must sacrifice. The reforms are all bloody, and they are all bloody roads. No reform can be accomplished by lip service, and in the face of power, the so-called family affection is just a simple excuse. ”

Xingzhe's words Qin Yu also understood that in the face of interests, feelings are sometimes really vulnerable, not to mention the emperor's family.

The relationship between the prince and the prince has been competitive since childhood, and only a very small number of princes will think about each other like brothers, and more of them will compete and compete with each other.

Over time, they will see each other as their rivals, rather than brothers. So the competition between the princes is very bloody.

"Is there no ...... Kill them and be able to inherit the throne too? ”

The third prince, Qin Yu, still insisted on letting his elder brother go, although they usually didn't have a good relationship, and there were some tricks, but in Qin Yu's memory, when he was very young, those two elder brothers were not like now.

They were originally like brothers, eating together, sleeping together, naughty and mischievous together, and they got along very well, just like a harmonious family.

However, then they all grew up slowly, and the people around them constantly instilled in them a sense of power, so that the brotherly feelings between them became weaker and weaker, until finally, they drifted away with the wind.

Despite this, Qin Yu still has no way to forget all the things that have happened, maybe in his memory, that period of childhood is the happiest.

At that time, they were all little children, they didn't understand anything, they didn't think about anything, as long as they ate well and played well, they could have fun all day.

During that time, you didn't have to think about anything, you were carefree, you just had to play. The huge palace was their playground, where they hid and hik-and-seek, and sometimes their mothers would play with them, and although they didn't know why they were secretly fighting, they had a great time.

In Qin Yu's memory, his father had never played with them once, not once, Qin Yu once stretched out his hand to invite his father to play with them, but his father just pressed his hand down and shook his head.

He didn't say anything, and since then, Qin Yu had never invited his father emperor again, and the emperor had never played games with them.

"There are ways to do it, but it's very difficult and risky. If the crown prince and the second prince don't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, they will definitely be unwilling, and maybe they will make a comeback at some point, which is a very troublesome choice, so I don't recommend you to choose this method. ”

Xingzhe shook his head helplessly, he felt that Qin Yu was really a bit of a woman's kindness, but then he thought again, maybe it was this kind of Qin Yu who was different from others.

Maybe Qin Yu's kindness can bring a comfortable life to the people, so Xingzhe sighed silently, he didn't know what to say about Qin Yu.

"Let's talk about how to get the support of the people, which is the most important thing at the moment."

Xingzhe changed the subject, and indeed as he said, the most important thing now is to gain the support of the people. If he couldn't get the support of the people, then everything that followed would not exist, and maybe Qin Yu would be killed by his brother.

"Recently, the price of products has plummeted, and people's incomes are getting lower and lower, do you have any solutions to this problem?"

Qin Yu thought for a moment and asked.

"The ups and downs of product prices are affected by supply and demand, and when there is oversupply in the market, prices will fall; Conversely, if supply exceeds demand, prices will naturally rise. ”

Xingzhe is also a college student no matter how he says it, although it is not a famous university, but it is not a pheasant university, and Xingzhe can still easily learn the political topics he studied in high school.

"Supply and demand??"

Not only Qin Yu looked puzzled, but Xi Yao and Xiao Ling were also very puzzled, as if Ultraman had seen a UFO, and he was very surprised.

"The so-called supply and demand relationship is an invisible rule of market competition, easy to understand, for example, if you go to the market to buy vegetables, buy cabbage, if there are a lot of cabbage, the whole market is selling cabbage, then what will happen."

"There are a lot of cabbage, and the whole market only sells cabbage, so the cabbage should be very cheap, because everyone wants to sell the cabbage, but some of them sell cabbage, and there is no way to sell it, so they can only sell the cabbage cheaper by changing the price, and you can still make money before, which is much better than turning it into rotten cabbage."

Xi Yao thought about it, then played with her slender jade fingers and answered.

"Exactly, because there are so many cabbages, they have to be sold cheaply. Conversely, what happens if there is only one last cabbage in the market and people want to eat it? ”

Xingzhe changed his conditions and continued to ask.

"Only the last cabbage left? That should turn into an auction, and whoever pays the most money will be able to buy a cabbage back. ”

Xiao Ling didn't think about it, and blurted out directly.

"Bingou, congratulations on your right answer, this is the relationship between supply and demand, so Your Highness should know what to do now, right?"

Xingzhe said.

Qin Yu nodded, just thinking about what to do.

"We buy a lot at a low price in the market, wait until the price recovers, and then slowly sell the product we bought. That's what you do, right? ”

Syllable!

Xingzhe and Qin Yu clapped their hands.

"When we buy, we have to buy with a lot of fanfare, to let everybody know that we did it. Rest assured, the average person doesn't know what's going on, but those who do business will know. They will be grateful to us, and they will not hide it from themselves, and no one will know what they will wear in the end. ”

Xingzhe said.

"What if someone finds out when we sell it? When people see us buying at a low price and selling at a high price, will they think we are opportunistic? ”

Qin Yu asked.

"Rest assured, we bought big in the first place just to be eye-catching. In the end, we will send a random soldier to sell it, and no one will suspect you. ”

People are often confused by what the eyes see, whether it's good or bad, what can be used, why not?
