Chapter 112: Receiving Gifts to Win the Hearts of the People
"I accept gifts to make people feel at ease, not that I am insatiable. If I don't accept gifts, I will be panicked in the city. In other words, what those people lack now is not the time to prepare gifts, but the opportunity to give gifts to me!" Sun Quan said shamelessly.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is reasonable." Yu'er pouted, "I'm so greedy at such a young age. I really don't know why you're using so much money to do? Do you keep it for a wife?"
"Ahem, what is greed? Sister Yu'er, please pay attention to your words!" Sun Quan corrected.
"Okay, okay."
Yu'er started changing clothes as if no one was around, which made Sun Quan turn his back.
"Ah, my little brother. Your father allowed you to do this? Are you not afraid of making Nanyang City resentment?" Yu'er, who was halfway through his clothes, suddenly approached Sun Quan.
Sun Quan blushed, quickly closed his eyes and shouted,
"Put on your clothes first!"
"Hehe! Obey the order, Lord Zhongmou~~"
Outside, when wearing military uniforms, Sun Quan called Yu'er General Yu, and Yu'er called Sun Quan the Lord Zhongmou.
Yu'er did not continue to tease Sun Quan, and went back to change clothes, but kept saying,
"Did you keep it from your father all the time?"
Sun Quan looked unhappy.
"Will my dad know if I bring so much money back every day?"
"That's because you don't plan to stay in Nanyang for long, so you can scrape as much as your fat and cream?" Yu'er guessed again.
"If I really think so, I need to take action?" Sun Quan asked back.
"Who knows, there are many people in this world who are bitches and archways." Yu'er said lightly.
Sun Quan smiled,
"Sister Yu'er, you may have a good time in the world, but in politics, you are far from it."
Yu'er didn't care about Sun Quan's belittlement at all, nodded and admitted,
"Yes, I don't quite understand these official affairs. However, over the years, I have come into contact with a lot of people of all levels, so I should know more than you!"
"Otherwise." Sun Quan shook his head, "It has nothing to do with age, it's a question of how to think. Sister Yu'er, you always stand from the perspective of ordinary people, and what you see is naturally different."
"Okay, okay, then please ask Lord Zhongmou to help the little girl solve the problem. Why is it a good thing for you to accept bribes all day long?" Yu'er said.
"Well, I can't explain it clearly for a while. When Sister Yu'er, you can watch it for a few more days, you will naturally understand." Sun Quan said.
"Don't keep it in your mouth~~Tell me~~" Yu'er, the demon girl, was really shameless and acted coquettishly towards a child.
"Go back and change your clothes!" Sun Quan closed his eyes hard and roared angrily.
"You don't know how difficult this clothes are to wear." Yu'er muttered and complained.
Is it hard to wear? Sun Quan wanted to complain. In his opinion, general uniforms are much easier to wear than those fancy clothes for women.
"That's it!" Yu'er, who was changing her clothes, suddenly turned her eyes, "If you tell me, I will teach you a very useful martial arts tonight."
"Oh?" Sun Quan was a little disbelief, "What's so good about the world?"
Sun Quan had already said it just now, and in just a few days, Yu'er could see it clearly. As a result, such an irrelevant little thing can be exchanged for martial arts, or a very useful martial art. Can Sun Quan believe it? Either Yu'er is lying, or this martial arts is useless at all.
"You are not your kung fu, little brother, you have too bad kung fu. My sister occasionally wants to leave for two days, but she still can't rest assured. Now, she is trying every means to help you improve your strength. If you can have the ability to protect yourself, your sister will not be so worried." Yu'er sighed. This time, what she said was the truth.
A few days ago, the main purpose of Yu'er did not choose to go to Jiangdong with Cai Wenji and chose to stay was to protect Sun Quan. Otherwise, she would have to wait for Sun Quan for ten years anyway. Yu'er might as well go to Jiangdong to read quietly, but once she left, what should Sun Quan die accidentally? Of course, it is not without any benefit to stay, that is, she can urge Sun Quan to practice martial arts every day, so that Sun Quan's skills will grow faster, and Yu'er's gains will be greater in ten years.
"If what I said is true, then no matter whether I tell you or not, you will still teach me the very useful martial arts, right?" Sun Quan said.
"That's right." Yu'er nodded, "But if my sister is in a bad mood, she will only teach you in a few days!"
Sun Quan immediately smiled. One would understand naturally after a few days, and the other would teach him.
"Haha! This transaction is the same after a few days."
"Isn't that true!" Yu'er said.
"Since that's the case, I'll just make a long story short." Sun Quan immediately spoke. Once he made a decision, he never delayed. "Sister Yu'er, you said that the public complaints are everywhere. In fact, when my father came, the public complaints were already everywhere. Although Zhang Zi, the former prefect of Nanyang, was not a good official, he did not do anything bad in office. From the moment my father killed Zhang Zi, the people of Nanyang were already full of complaints. But so what? Sister Yu'er, you have been with me in the streets these days and see any turmoil? The idea of ordinary people is very simple, just live and work in peace and contentment. As long as you can still live, you will live as usual. Not to mention that my father has not changed anything at all after he comes. Even if it changes a little, as long as the bottom line is not touched, no one will rebel. The complaints are not important, yes, at least not important for the time being."
"Okay, what you said is reasonable. But that can only be said to be not a bad thing, not a good thing, right?" Yu'er couldn't help but say that Sun Quan was so clever and could say that corruption and bribery benefit the country and the people.
"I just mentioned ordinary people, not including gentry and officials. You said that if the top leaders of a place suddenly change, the people below would have few ideas? Especially those factions that belonged to Zhang Zi before, do you think these people can sleep soundly?" Sun Quan said, "My father has always believed that there is everything with soldiers! He is not looking down on political affairs, but he has not focused on political affairs at all. This time he brought not many civil servants. Apart from the account books and food, the others are basically the original team of Nanyang. If these people were panic, could they still expect them to manage Nanyang well?"
"So, if you collect their money, they think they are recognized by your father, so they can do things with peace of mind?" Yu'er said.
Sun Quan shook his head,
"Sister Yu'er, do you really think I've only been receiving gifts every day? Accepting gifts can certainly make people feel at ease, but being at ease does not mean that the person will do his job well. Moreover, do I accept gifts from anyone? If I really want to collect them casually, why don't I stay at home and wait for them to come to my house, and why do I go out every day?"
"Then how did you choose? Who will receive gifts and who will not accept gifts. Wouldn't those who you never accept gifts become more and more worried and more afraid?" Yu'er couldn't help but say.
"You will know if you continue to watch this kind of thing." Sun Quan replied.
Yu'er is dissatisfied,
"I've been watching it for a few days!"
Sun Quan smiled,
"Then I'll go through it first. My ultimate goal is to win the hearts of the people."
"ah??"
