Chapter 176: Top-level psychological strategy - giving money directly to refugees

Having said that, Chu Yang couldn't help but sigh, his face full of sorrow.

Xun Yu just smiled faintly when he heard this, and said slowly: "Your Highness is right. How easy is it to unify the world?"

"But as the saying goes, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. As long as Your Highness can win the hearts of the people, there is no need to worry about not being able to accomplish great things."

"What do you mean, sir?"

Chu Yang raised his eyebrows and became interested.

"The most urgent task is to stabilize your highness's rule in Qiongzhou and let the people live and work in peace and contentment. Only in this way can we lay a solid foundation for unifying the world in the future."

Xun Yu said with confidence.

"Sir, what you said makes sense, but how can we ensure that the people can live and work in peace and contentment?"

Xun Yu smiled slightly, moved closer to Chu Yang, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, is there anything in this world that money can't solve?"

"Money?" Chu Yang was stunned.

"Yes, it's money!"

Xun Yu nodded affirmatively, "What the people want is nothing more than food, clothing, shelter and transportation. As long as Your Highness can solve their food and clothing problems and let them live a good life, they will naturally be grateful to Your Highness and be loyal to you!"

"Sir, do you want me to give money to the people?"

Chu Yang's eyes widened.

"exactly!"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Of course, distributing money is only a temporary solution. What is more important is to develop the economy and let the people have work to do and make money. Only in this way can the problem be fundamentally solved."

Chu Yang pondered for a moment and felt that what Xun Yu said made sense.

"Sir, your opinion is profound. I am grateful for your advice!"

Chu Yang stood up and bowed deeply to Xun Yu. "But the issue of distributing money still needs to be carefully considered. Do you have any good suggestions, sir?"

Xun Yu stroked his beard and spoke slowly.

"Your Highness, I have an idea. How about..."

He leaned close to Chu Yang's ear and whispered.

A few days later.

The city of Qiongzhou was decorated with lights and bustling with people.

At the city gate, a high platform was built, covered with red silk, and there was an incense table, on which stood a huge golden pig.

The golden pig is surrounded by piles of gold, silver and jewels, shining with an alluring light.

Chu Yang, wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown, walked slowly onto the platform surrounded by a group of civil and military officials.

"Everyone, I am here today to announce something important!"

Chu Yang's voice was loud and clear, spreading throughout the entire square.

"From today on, all the people in Qiongzhou can receive 1 tael of silver each!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd suddenly became excited.

"What? One ounce of silver per person?"

"Oh my God, how much silver is this!"

"Long live His Highness! Long live His Highness!"

The people cheered and the roar was like a tsunami, almost overturning the entire Qiongzhou City.

Chu Yang stood on the stage, looking at the scene in front of him, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

“Xun Yu, ah Xun Yu, you are really an old fox. This trick is really powerful!” Chu Yang said in his heart.

Over time.

The same scene also appeared in Nanling City.

"Your Highness, please be merciful! This is one ounce of silver, enough for our family to live on for several months!"

An old man in ragged clothes was holding a silver ingot tremblingly, tears streaming down his face.

"That's right. When that bastard Sun Fengtian was around, we had to pay heavy taxes every year. It's nothing like now, when we can even receive money from His Highness!"

A strong man said angrily, his words filled with hatred for the past and expectations for the future.

Nanling City was originally the gateway to the south, but due to years of war, the people were displaced and the city became dilapidated.

But since Chu Yang came, everything here began to change.

In Zhenyuan City, the people were even more grateful to Chu Yang.

"I have lived for most of my life, and I have never seen such a kind and righteous prince!"

"Seventh Prince, you are truly our reborn parent!"

Even Shuiyun Island, far away overseas, was in an uproar because of Chu Yang's order.

"One tael of silver? Is the Seventh Prince crazy? He actually gave so much money to such rough folks like us!"

A pirate holding a heavy load of silver shouted in disbelief.

"Hey, you know nothing! This is called buying people's hearts! Think about it, when we robbed people in the past, we risked losing our heads, but how much money could we make in a year?"

"Now His Majesty the Seventh Prince has easily given us one tael of silver, and I heard that he will continue to give us more in the future."

"Do you think this deal is worthwhile?"

The other pirate, who was obviously much more savvy, revealed the secret in one sentence.

"Yes! Working with His Majesty the Seventh is much better than being pirates ourselves!"

For a moment, the pirates on Shuiyun Island cheered, "Long live His Majesty the Seventh Prince!"

that's it.

Chu Yang's reputation spread throughout the south.

Those who originally had doubts about Chu Yang also began to waver.

"Your Highness, this move of yours is truly brilliant!"

Xun Yu stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Now, the whole south knows your name. With the support of the people, great things can be accomplished!"

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, sir."

Chu Yang smiled faintly, "This is all Mr.'s clever plan."

He knew in his heart that giving money was only the first step, and there was still a long way to go if he wanted to truly win people's hearts.

At this time, Xun Yu smiled and said, "Your Highness, this way, you will have the strength to fight against the Crown Prince."

"what for?"

"Your Highness, can't you see? There will be a battle between you and the Crown Prince, and where will the battle take place? Naturally, in the cities in the middle."

"People everywhere are not fools. They have long wanted to flee with their families."

"And now His Highness is distributing money in the south. Do you think the people in those cities should go to the north or the south?"

After hearing this, Chu Yang suddenly realized, "So this is the master's brilliant plan?"

"No, this is a brilliant idea of your Highness, and you did it yourself. I admire you."

This flattery made Chu Yang overjoyed. He didn't expect that these civil officials would speak so nicely.

And at this time.

Chu Yang's actions in the south also spread to various cities in the Great Zhou.

"What? The South is giving out money?"

"Yes, it's calculated per person. No matter who you are, you can get one or two taels."

"I'll go. I might as well go over there."

"Yes, I heard that the Seventh Prince is going to fight with the Crown Prince. Now it is better not to stay in the middle. Either go to the north or go to the south."

For a time, the people of Da Zhou were talking about it, and many people began to have ideas.

It is obviously stronger when encountering the south. After all, Yuenan Kingdom and Japan there have been defeated. Will there be war for a while?

at the same time.

The capital of Great Zhou, the Prince’s Palace.

Chu Zhenzhou sat in the study with a gloomy face. A spy was kneeling on the ground, tremblingly reporting the news from the south.

"What did you say? Chu Yang, that kid, he...he actually gave money to those refugees?"

Chu Zhenzhou stood up suddenly, his teeth chattering in anger.
