The ancients said that they would rather quarrel with a wise man than talk to a confused man. This is also a famous saying. No matter how low the quality of this smart man is, he can understand what you mean and make the most appropriate response accordingly. If it is not for making close friends, is it really important to have a close friend? Hong Tao thinks it is not necessary to care. Using people is to use his strengths. It cannot be said that gold is more expensive than copper, so just throw copper aside. As long as energy is used, copper is much more useful than gold. The most important thing is that copper is cheaper than gold. Use it when it can be used, and throw it away when it cannot be used. It is relatively unpleasant.

Wen Hao is obviously a smart person, and in Hong Tao's eyes, he is also a very useful piece of copper. He is still three or four hours away from Lin'an City, so he has proposed three or four plans to prove that he is still useful and not a waste. Of course, these three or four plans are not all in line with Hong Tao's wishes, but each plan has its own uniqueness. If you change your ideas and environment, it is a good idea.

"Are you sure you can complete this task? I don't have time to test it for you. I need immediate results. You won't know the strength of local tyrants, right? I don't have too many troops to dispatch. Once a large-scale riot occurs, I will only kill you and vent all the anger of the people towards me on you. And don't plan to run. I guess you should have heard of the Imperial Supervision Department. Now I will tell you another department, called the Dasong Investigation Bureau, which is the same as the Supervision Department, and has a wider range of control. If you have the ability to run into the mountains and forests to live the life of a savage, I will have nothing to say. As long as you want to continue living a life of a human being, you will have no place to run. If I hate someone, the country will want him, and I will have to kill him."

Wen Hao's last proposal finally hit Hong Tao's pleasure. I have to say that this guy is really a talent for governing the country. He didn't tell him anything. He didn't even know what the situation was in the Song Dynasty. He could use the previous four plans as a touchstone to try out his true intentions. If he had changed his position with him, let alone before Lin'an, even if he drove to Europe, he would probably not be able to think of such a way that suits the actual situation.

"The villain dares not... In fact, the villain thinks this is not too difficult. As long as the court can give me enough support, the gentry will not refuse my capital. The Song Dynasty has changed a lot in recent years, especially the coastal roads. The people's ideas are completely different from before. This is thanks to your empire. Even if he is blind, as long as he is not deaf, he will have heard of how good life is in the empire. If the court changes to build the Song Dynasty into the Jinhe Empire, I think the people in these places will not have much conflict, and maybe they will be happy. Without the support of the people, coupled with the heavy pressure of the court and the intervention of the empire, those gentry who still hold old ideas have not resisted at all.

The opportunity, the court can pinch them as much as they want, and make them round and make them square. The inland areas are a little troublesome, but the villain has another way. First use newspapers to promote, and then invite those who have immigrated to the Jinhe Empire to return to their hometowns to visit relatives and friends. The people are afraid of the imperial court's laws and doubtful about newspaper propaganda, but they really believe in the personal narratives of fellow villagers. As long as they believe, the court will give some benefits in time, these places can easily be remembered by Your Majesty." When they saw that their ideas were right, Wen Hao immediately came to life. Although the people still knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up, their erotic appearance was no different from sitting on the throne.

He saw hope in Hong Tao's face, not only the hope of living, but also the hope of making a comeback. Wen Hao's most fear is not death, but mediocrity in his life, and what he fears most is that the ideas in his mind cannot be realized. The reason why he has worked hard over the years is to make his ideas come true. Now the highest ideal is obviously hopeless, but if you take a step back, working under Hong Tao is the best choice at present. You can also take a look and learn it. What is the extraordinary thing about this magical old emperor? Why can he always press on his head and make himself unable to turn over like a mountain.

"You can try this method. I have another job to hand over to you. This job is not easy to succeed, and it will also attract criticism from all parties. Once you fail, you are a sinner of the Song Dynasty, and I can't save you. How about it, do you want to hear what this job is?" Hong Tao didn't have much surprise at Wen Hao's method on the surface, but in fact he was already smiling in his heart. He didn't leave his life in vain. If he had followed Cixi's idea back then, he would have sank to the bottom of the sea to feed fish, and he would have lost a capable minister who governed the country.

Wen Nan can govern the country, but he is the kind of person who develops step by step in peace and stability, and is not a general who overcomes obstacles in troubled times. In extraordinary times, extraordinary means must be used. Only a guy like Wen Hao who does not abide by the rules and likes to take odd steps can come up with unconventional methods. At this time, ambition is not a bad thing. The greater the ambition, the more advanced the ideas will be.

The idea of ​​using the overseas Chinese to return to China for publicity is really wonderful. The Chinese people have a strong sense of homeland. Even if they leave their hometowns since childhood and have been living outside for many years, they will still look at each other when they meet their fellow villagers. This custom not only exists in ancient times, but also in modern times, nor in ordinary people's concepts. Scholars and high-ranking officials cannot avoid customs. There has been no shortage of village party in all dynasties, and they often have prosper and lose their prosperity and losses.

In the words of Xiang Yu, the king of Chu, wealth and honor do not return to his hometown, like walking on the night with embroidered clothes, who knows it! The word "returning home with glory" also comes from him.

The problem is that those who return home are all rich people. What do you think about the villagers in my hometown who are not yet rich? This is a thing that makes you rich in life, especially with acquaintances, so where is life easier? There is no need to be specially promoted. These expatriates are living role models.

Although most people have a strong sense of hometown and will not choose to leave their hometown even if they die of poverty, will they oppose it once such good days can be copied to their hometown? Logically speaking, it should not be, at least not at the beginning, and only when they realize they are cheated will oppose it. Hong Tao only needs to start. As long as his reform methods can be implemented, the benefits will always be most people, and a few people oppose it is useless.

It is far from enough to rely solely on newspapers and overseas Chinese propaganda. The most realistic thing about Chinese people is that whoever lets them have enough food is a good person, and vice versa. As for why it is good, how long can it last; why it is bad, is it always bad? Few people are willing to consider these issues. People who are too realistic will inevitably be short-sighted. They don’t care about their descendants and only seek immediate benefits. Such people are relatively easy to fool.

Now Hong Tao is planning to start fooling people based on these characteristics of the Song people. What should he use to fool? There are two themes, one is money and the other is land!

Money is commercialization and industrialization, and it is relatively easy to target the people of coastal cities. Through the influence and infiltration of the Jinhe Empire over the years, industry and commerce in coastal cities of the Song Dynasty have developed in full swing. I only need to standardize them and set up several sets of strict regulations to manage them, so as to further create a better living environment for these future capitalists. There is no need to ask for it, and they will definitely welcome them. As for the local bureaucrats, gentry and conservative forces will bring obstacles to their reforms? It will definitely happen, but don’t worry, because their forces are weak in these places and cannot get strong support from local people, so they cannot cause any waves.

Land means land reform and privatization, which is relatively difficult to target the people of the inland prefectures and counties. The influence of the Jinhe Empire cannot cover these relatively closed areas, and the local area has not formed a commercial society scale, and is still in a self-sufficient small peasant economy. Therefore, people have short knowledge, conservative ideas, and are naturally resistant to new things. It will be very difficult to talk about reform with them. These areas are the traditional sphere of influence of gentry, scholars and bureaucratic groups. They have a very strong influence in their hometowns, villages and villages, and can often cause large-scale turmoil if they raise their arms.

Land is the lifeblood of these areas, and it is also the main resource that Hong Tao wants to compete with gentry, scholars and bureaucratic groups. Whoever owns control of the land is equivalent to taking the life gates of tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty, and taking them effortlessly. In this matter, Hong Tao had no intention of succeeding easily. If the transformation of the Song Empire was successful, it would be equivalent to the success of the land reform. If it failed, it would inevitably be improper handling of this issue.

Hong Tao has discussed with Wen Nan and Luo Youde many times how to reform the land and formed a basic and clear purpose.
