Chapter 124: The Prince's Last Show
In the blink of an eye, the tail of autumn has passed, and from midsummer to early winter, Qin Hao has passed through half a year.
At this time, in the palace, Li Chengqian was nervously preparing, he had actually been out for a long time this time, and now the disaster relief effect of the victims was excellent, and he was almost the mascot.
For Li Chengqian's trip out of the palace as an inspection envoy this time, whether it is Baiguan, Li Er, or Li Chengqian himself, he is actually extremely satisfied, and now he is almost a perfect curtain call.
On this day, the crown prince Li Chengqian ordered to build a high platform to be used to beg for the Tang Dynasty, but Wei Zheng disagreed, this high platform is quite expensive, what is wrong with the money.
As a result, Li Chengqian actually began to lead a large group of monks and Taoists to start collecting donations!
Qin Hao also held a meeting in the Green Gang, hoping that the Green Gang could donate generously, after all, this was a good opportunity to pat the prince's ass, so everyone gathered tens of thousands of dollars, but Qin Hao waved his hand and said boldly: Not enough.
God is not enough, and if you add it, it will become a robbery, okay, what are you going to build is a high platform or a bronze bird platform!
At this time, the construction of the development zone is in full swing, and all the families who are engaged in Qin Hao's development zone combination policy are eager to smash the pot and sell iron, and obviously said that they will give away the land and tax exemption for free, but the preparation is now all smashed in, but those factories have just been built now, and they have not yet begun to make a profit, and they have the heart and power.
So the next day, Qin Hao erected a huge stone tablet on the high platform, with five big characters written on it: Generously go to the country and pay Li Chengqian.
On the other side of the stele, it looks like it should be a list, and the first line on it reads in a grand manner: Hedong Xue's family, donate 30,000 yuan. Hedong Pei's donated 20,000 yuan.
Everyone looked at it, how many meanings did this mean?
Soon everyone understood that the prince's hand can be called the bottom of the kettle, those self-proclaimed family of famous families, if there is no your name on this big stone tablet, then you will wait to be scolded.
In ancient times, nothing was more important than fame, and the family could do anything for a good reputation, but often the reputation accumulated for thousands of years was only three or two years away.
It's not asking for money, it's fatal! The long face who donates a lot, the face that donates less, it seems that this stone tablet may have to be erected for a hundred and eighty years, if this is not on the list, how can you face the ancestors and ancestors?
As a result, the gate valves who were already smashing pots and selling iron simply tightened their belts to get by, preferring to pee and bleed rather than be on the list.
In the end, Li Chengqian received a donation of as much as 800,000 yuan, and Wei Zheng was stupid when the money was placed in front of Wei Zheng's eyes.
Is it just to erect a monument and make money like that?
In fact, it's not surprising to think about it, in ancient times, countless squires would spend money to buy themselves a small title the size of a mung bean or something, don't people live for a face, what else can be more face-saving than leaving a name on this inscription? Spend some money, just spend some money, after all, there will be no such shop in this village, Qin Hao guessed the thoughts of these gate valves very thoroughly.
Of course, after all, the money was donated for disaster relief, and in the end, it was all turned into food and went into the pockets of the victims, and this show really earned his reputation to the sky is naturally Li Chengqian.
Wei Zheng and Yu Zhining, of course, also knew that Qin Hao was helping Li Chengqian put on a show, whether they supported it or didn't approve of it, it was inconvenient for the prince to intervene in this kind of thing, this was the most basic way of being a minister, and even if it weren't for Li Chengqian's young age, it would be inconvenient for him to make such a big show.
I thought that with such a monument fundraising, it should be able to draw a successful end to the show in the past few months.
Hehe, the two of them are still too simple, where is this, in Qin Hao's words, now is the time to perform the real technique.
It only took three days for the high platform to be built, and Wei Zheng almost thought that the so-called high platform begging snow was just a gimmick, but the high platform was really built like this.
The materials used for this high platform are not very elaborate, and the work is not very elaborate, except for the silk tied to the corners and sides of the steps, there is no place to spend money, and the silk can be recovered after the work is done, so the cost of construction is not too high, but it is just a wooden shelf.
But the point is, this is really high!
The next day, there were rumors that the prince would ascend the high platform at noon tomorrow, begging for snow for the Tang Dynasty, and worshiping the sky, he had fasted for three days, and the most important thing was that the prince would stay on it until the snow fell.
As soon as the ordinary people heard about this, they were moved, and they ran to tell each other, saying that a good prince had come out of the Tang Dynasty, but Wei Zheng and Yu Zhi were not so easy to fool, and directly slipped Qin Hao to him, and said sternly: "Say!" What's going on! ”
Wei Zheng said earnestly: "The prince, it is the foundation of the country, there is no room for the slightest mistake, you two are messing around on weekdays, I have never asked, but I have told you to go over the fire, as the teacher knows that you have a lot of ideas, but you are not a person without proportion, today, you must tell the truth." ”
Qin Hao shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness won't be in any danger." ”
However, the two old men were still staring at him, and it seemed that if he didn't tell the truth today, he wouldn't be able to get out of this house.
Fortunately, the plan has been launched, and at this time, confession is just a scolding at most, Qin Hao thought about it, and simply explained it, and said, "It's actually very simple, it's just a cognitive misalignment." ”
Yes, it's another new term that I don't understand.
The communication with Qin Hao is always suddenly enlightened in pain, although listening to what you say is better than reading a book for ten years, but when I listen to it, I often feel that I am mentally retarded from the bottom of my heart, which makes people a little unacceptable, but there is no way, who makes it a matter of the country, and the mentally retarded also has to listen.
Qin Hao said: "The so-called cognitive impairment is to forcibly link two things that have no causal relationship at all, creating an illusion for the public that is because of this. ”
The two old men glanced at each other, and Wei Zheng slapped him directly on the head: "Talking about people"
"Oh, it's too troublesome to explain this to you, let's put it this way, let me give you an example, as far as I know, in the south of our Datang, there lives a group of turtles, and they insist that if people don't have lice on their bodies, they will get sick, so if people there are sick, they will keep scratching lice on the sick people."
"Nonsense, how can there be such a fool in the world."
"It's true, the reason why this is so is because they rarely take a bath, and there is no sufficiently developed textile industry, most people are still wearing leaves, so that there are always lice on their bodies, and when people get sick, their body temperature will rise, and the lice will naturally disappear when they are burned, and those natives don't understand the truth, so they naively think that sickness and lice are related."
Wei Zheng asked suspiciously, "Then what does this have to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" ”
Qin Hao said: "Cognitive misalignment! Isn't it easy? In fact, it is not difficult for the common people to fool around, as long as they use a little trick, it is easy for the common people to think that it is the prayer of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that it snows. ”
