Chapter 675
At first, Tang Yu gave ten golds, but now it has become a hundred golds, a full increase of ten times.
Although the living conditions of the residents who can settle in the capital are generally pretty good, there are really not many people on the scene who can spend a hundred gold in one go.
"Your Highness, are you crazy? You actually spent a hundred gold on carrying this mere piece of wood?" Meng Tian said in shock.
Tang Yu joked: "Why, are you feeling distressed? One hundred gold is nothing to me!"
"Your Highness, I'm moved by what you said. Why don't I carry it? Give me a hundred gold!" Meng Tian volunteered.
Tang Yu gave him a blank look: "General Meng, don't mess around. The mountain man has his own clever plan, just watch it!"
"Crazy, His Highness is really crazy!" Meng Tian shook his head.
He knew that the Emperor of Tang Dynasty had allocated 30 million silver to Tang Yu. Tang Yu was not short of money now, but if Tang Yu wanted to stabilize his position and take further steps, there would be many places where he would have to spend a lot of money in the future. Meng Tian really couldn't understand why Tang Yu Why do this.
Tang Yu smiled and said nothing. He came from modern times. It is normal for modern people to have the wisdom of a general like Meng Tian and not be able to understand it for a while.
Meng Tian had no idea that Tang Yu was drawing on Chinese classic historical allusions, and Shang Yang believed in it.
Remember URL
Shang Yang's erecting a tree as a letter was an event that happened in the capital of Qin during the Warring States Period. At that time, Shang Yang introduced a new law in his reform, and fearing that the people would not trust him, he placed a piece of wood at the south gate of the city wall and posted a notice saying: If anyone moves this piece of wood to the north gate, he will be rewarded with ten gold coins.
All the people did not believe it. It was not until the reward was raised to fifty gold that a strong man moved the wood to the north gate, and Shang Yang rewarded him fifty gold as promised. This move gained the people's trust in Shang Yang, and finally Shang Yang announced the reform decree. This story is also called Shang Yang Lixin.
Through this incident, he wants to prove to the world's virtuous people that he, Tang Yu, is true to his word and his promise is worth a thousand dollars. As long as he follows him, he will definitely be popular and drink spicy food.
Staring at the many people in front of him who were ready to make a move, Tang Yu knew that the time was ripe. He shouted again: "There are no warriors to step forward, right? Okay! Then I will increase the reward to a thousand gold, as long as someone can carry this giant tree weighing a hundred kilograms. To the west of the city, I will reward him with a thousand gold coins. Even if it is not completed in one go, my promise is still valid!"
"Is this... is this true?" Someone could hardly hold it anymore.
"I don't know! However, a thousand pieces of gold is equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver. If you are not afraid of His Highness going back on his word, you can come forward and give it a try!"
"You've got a lot of money. Wealth can be found in danger. Doesn't anyone want to come forward and give it a try?"
At this moment, countless people's eyes were wild, and they all wanted to get the thousand taels of gold promised by Tang Yu.
It's just that Tang Yugui is the prince of the East Palace and has a high status. Most of the people present are ordinary residents of the capital. The sense of awe caused by class makes ordinary people dare not come forward at all.
Tang Yu knew very well that because he was the prince of the dynasty, many people in front of him did not dare to step out because they were in awe of him. This was just like a teacher and a student. Most students were in awe from the bottom of their hearts when they saw the teacher, for fear of angering him. Teacher, thus causing unnecessary trouble.
Meng Tian whispered: "Your Highness, you have a special status. The people respect you and fear you. I am afraid that even if you pay a thousand gold, no one will stand up to carry this hundred kilograms of giant wood!"
"Really? I don't believe in this evil! General Meng, you have to believe that there must be a brave man behind a lot of money!"
Tang Yu's expression was solemn, and he used the provoking method to shout loudly: "No one dares to come up and try, even if it costs a fortune? A mere hundred kilograms of giant trees, what does it mean? If this spreads, won't it make other countries laugh at me, all the men in the Tang Dynasty are cowards?" ?”
"Coward? Who said that all men in the Tang Dynasty are cowards? Huh! I'll do it!"
The next second, when Tang Yu finished speaking, a burly man stood up with a sullen look on his face.
