Originally, Yu'er thought that she had somewhat understood Sun Quan's intention, but at this moment, she was confused again, even more confused than at the beginning. Didn't Sun Quan just say that it doesn't matter what the people think? No matter how big the public grievances are, as long as they can live and work in peace and contentment, the people will not rebel. So now, why does Sun Quan still want to win the hearts of the people? And it’s through the unreasonable method of accepting gifts!
"You don't want to distribute the gifts you received to the people to win their hearts, do you?" Yu'er said, no matter how outrageous, she could not think of another possibility.
"Fake others' generosity and make the Nanyang nobles a joke. This will shake the foundation of rule." Sun Quan directly denied Yu'er's statement.
"Then how do you win the hearts of the people?" Yu'er asked curiously.
"In addition to providing benefits to the people, there is a simpler way to win the hearts and minds of the people. Oh no, it should be said that it is a way to pay less. That is - whitewash and reverse!"
"Whitewash? Reversal?" Yu'er pondered Sun Quan's new words.
"It's like you and I are not related, or even strangers, but if I help you kill your enemy one day, then no matter whether I am good or bad, you will have a favorable impression of me." Sun Quan metaphorically said.
"Yes~~" Yu'er bent her eyes and looked at Sun Quan affectionately, "If that day comes, then my sister will definitely give her life to her!"
Sun Quan rolled his eyes. If that day comes, I would rather you be a cow or a horse in your next life. You should continue to be cool in this life.
"The current situation is also the same. In the eyes of most people, Zhang Zi is a good official, and my father killed Zhang Zi. No matter whether my father is good or bad, in the hearts of the people, they no longer agree with my father. I think. It is difficult to change this preconceived view, because no matter what you do, it may be considered as a show. Only by subtlety, year after year, can facts speak louder than words! In contrast, there is a simple The most efficient way is not to make my father a good person, but to make Zhang Zi bad enough." Sun Quan smiled and said, "The one who kills the devil will naturally be a brave man and a hero. !”
Ding!
Yu'er's heart skipped a beat. She found that Sun Quan was far scarier than his father Sun Jian and his eldest brother Sun Ce. Cruel and cunning, this Sun Quan is not like the Sun family at all, and is even more like the Demon Sect than many members of the Demon Sect. Yu'er suddenly felt worried. Can she really control such a guy in the future?
Moreover, if Sun Quan only had dangerous ideas, this guy had a strong ability to act and had a delicate mind. Yu'er had followed Sun Quan for so many days, and she didn't realize that Sun Quan wanted to smear Zhang Zi. Obviously, Sun Quan planned to start from the bottom, and was not prepared to take action himself, so as not to give anyone any clues. In Yu'er's words, she was a bitch and still built a memorial arch.
That's right, using the words of Zhang Zi's original subordinates to discredit Zhang Zi was Sun Quan's ultimate goal. What Zhang Zi's cronies say is more convincing, right? Sun Quan did such a thing, Yu'er was surprised because she was just a woman and a Jianghu person. In fact, since ancient times, the winner has been the king and the loser. Which winner has not made the loser ugly and demonized? Otherwise, how can you make your crusade legitimate and just?
It’s just that people at the general prefect level rarely do this kind of thing. This is something only princes and emperors would do!
In fact, Yu'er only saw Sun Quan accepting bribes. She didn't know that Sun Quan did much more than what she saw. Isn't Sun Quan afraid of danger when he comes to accept gifts? Even with Yu'er as his bodyguard, wouldn't Sun Quan be afraid of Zhang Zi's cronies coming for revenge? Therefore, every time Sun Quan simulated it with his skills in advance, including all the dirty information he found out, all were confirmed. After all, Sun Quan doesn’t want to be refuted by someone finding evidence. If he is reversed and then reversed again, once he loses his trust, he will not be able to clear his name!
With solid black information as the foundation, and then going to the people to stir up trouble and stir up public opinion, Sun Quan won this round.
"So, little brother, what is your purpose of winning people's hearts by beating around the bush and trying so hard? Didn't you say at the beginning that what the people think is not important?" Yu'er raised her head and asked. She suddenly wanted to know more about Sun Quan's ambitions. .
"If everything remains the same, it doesn't matter. But what if someone comes to attack Nanyang now? If it fails to reverse the people's sentiment, which side do you think the people will support? In fact, this is why I go around collecting gifts. Those nobles gave them If they accept the gift, they will treat it as an investment. If we are driven away, won’t their money be wasted? Although such a relationship will not be very stable, at least under the same conditions, the nobles will still choose to continue to support Our Sun family. In addition, if you want to develop and expand, you must conscript soldiers. If you lose the support of the people, few people will sincerely enlist in the army. Even if you recruit them by force, it is difficult to guarantee combat effectiveness." At this point, Sun Quan smiled and said, "Then Sister Yu'er, do you think my accepting gifts is beneficial to the country and the people?"
"You are so eloquent! You have such a mouth, I guess no one in the world can speak to you!" Yu'er scolded with a smile.
In fact, there is one thing that Sun Quan did not say, and it is even the most important point in Sun Quan's heart. From a strategic point of view, the Sun family would never stay in Nanyang for long. Jiangdong is the place that is really suitable for starting and developing. Unless he captures the entire Jingzhou in the future, it will be difficult for his Sun family soldiers to visit Nanyang again.
Since he will leave after a short time, apart from the usefulness of the collected property, what is the point of Sun Quan's hard work to win the hearts and minds of the people?
It’s very simple, Nanyang has talents!
I am a commoner and work hard in Nanyang. . . . . . According to history, Zhuge Liang is probably just a child at this moment. Sun Quan won't search hard, so what if he finds it? If he rashly changes the growing environment of others, Zhuge Liang may not be the same Zhuge Liang in history. Therefore, in this early stage, rather than looking for someone, the best way is to increase your favorability in advance!
Children are the most susceptible to influence. It has left an impression in Zhuge Liang's mind that Sun Jian is a good official and the Sun family are good people. So will Zhuge Liang take the initiative to come to Jiangdong to apply for a job in the future?
······
"Is this the last one today? Zhang's Mansion?" Yu'er said, looking at the mansion compound in front of her.
"Speaking of the Zhang family in Nanyang, does General Yu know?" Sun Quan asked.
"Returning to Master Zhongmou, although I have little talent and little knowledge in my humble position, I have heard of the name of the Zhang family. The Zhang family is the best medical family in the world. Especially the contemporary family advocate Zhongjing is regarded as a generation of medical saints. "As she said that, Yu'er glanced at Sun Quan and said, "I said, Master Zhongmou, are you going to this family too?"
Although the Zhang family is not outstanding in terms of official positions and power, their network of relationships is extraordinary. Many big families are on good terms with the Zhang family, and many are even married to each other. The Zhang family is the only family in Nanyang today that has the confidence to ignore the Sun family!
"Go, of course."
Sun Quan said, he was stunned on the spot, then shook his head,
"Not today, though. We'll come back tomorrow."
After saying that, he took Yu'er with him and turned around to leave without any nostalgia.
