"Hurry up, hurry up. Chinese officials have erected a giant tree three feet long at the north gate. They said that whoever can move the giant tree to the south gate will be rewarded with ten taels of gold. This is ten taels of gold, not silver. Ah, hurry up and take a look."
On the street, an Indian citizen shouted loudly.
"Whoever believes it is a fool. This pie-in-the-sky thing is unreliable."
Another common man on the street shook his head in denial, but when he saw the common people speeding up to follow him, he couldn't help but speed up and head towards the main gate. News of the north gate spread in all directions of Coxima City, and countless people The people rushed to the north gate of Coxima City.
At the gate of the north gate, there is a huge tree with a mouth three times long.
Such trees are heavy, but not unbearable.
The strange thing is that there are countless people watching around, but no one dares to take the initiative to move the giant wood. Five meters away from the city gate, a high platform has been built. On this high platform, stands a man in his forties. A middle-aged man, this man was Guo Songtao. Seeing that the people around him did not move up to move the huge tree, he smiled and was not in a hurry.
Guo Songtao waited for another ten minutes. At this time, Indian people from all directions came.
Countless people surrounded the high platform.
But the strange thing is that no one is willing to give it a try.
Guo Songtao raised his voice and said loudly: "Whoever can move this huge tree from the north gate to the south gate will be rewarded with thirty taels of gold." He looked at Genia who was standing next to him and motioned for Genia to translate.
Immediately, Genia translated it again.
Genia kept muttering in her heart, wondering why Guo Songtao did this.
"Try it, thirty taels of gold, we will never make so much money in our lifetime."
"Fart, haven't you seen how overbearing and ruthless the Chinese army is these days? Abdul, Sharma, Prasad, Venkata and other big figures have been killed. At this time, you rush in and take the lead. , looking for death."
"There will be no pie in the sky, so we can't go."
"What if it's true, but the reward is too big, and holding so much gold in your pocket is too hot."
…
The people in the crowd were talking and making a lot of noise.
Guo Songtao was still not in a hurry. His ancestors' method would never go wrong, and no one came out to carry the giant tree. It was just because the money given was not enough to make the people come out to take risks. Guo Songtao waited for a moment and said loudly : "Whoever can move this giant tree from the north gate to the south gate will be rewarded fifty gold."
Wow,.
There was a huge wave in the crowd.
Genia also took a breath and immediately translated, he would like to go, but unfortunately he is not allowed.
Fifty gold, this is too much.
"I come,."
A middle-aged man in shabby clothes walked out from the crowd. There was a little girl next to the middle-aged man. The child shyly pulled the middle-aged man's trouser leg. He was very afraid of strangers. As soon as he stood up, everyone looked at him. Flying away, Guo Songtao laughed and waved his hand to signal the middle-aged man to go forward. The middle-aged man waved his hand, and a group of poor people in shabby clothes immediately followed behind him.
The man handed the little girl to the person next to him and strode towards the giant tree at the city gate. When he came to the giant tree, he picked up the wood and ran towards the south gate.
Guo Songtao stood on the high platform and waited quietly.
…
Military camp, Chinese military tent.
When news came back that Guo Songtao had set up a log at the city gate, Li Zhen suddenly laughed. Guo Songtao had so many clever ideas. In order to win the trust of the people, he actually resorted to such a method. This matter is almost a household name in China. , but in India, it can be used in the same way and the same effect can be achieved.
Zhang Zhidong sat in the camp, listened to the news reported by the soldiers, and said: "President, I am not as good as Guo Songtao in the knowledge of governing the country. I plan to resign from the position of governor of the Indian Province, and then let Guo Songtao serve as the governor of the Indian Province." Governor, I assist him, I am still young, now is not the time to hold important positions, but to accumulate my own experience."
After listening to this, Li Zhen had a smile on his face.
This kid finally realized it.
Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "I have my own plan for this matter."
…
"When people come back, do you think they will actually give out fifty gold? What if the Chinese officials say they will only take thirty gold? I bet that the Chinese officials are deliberately playing tricks on us and will not give out fifty gold." gold."
"No, I think I'll get fifty gold."
"Seeing that there was nothing on the stage, Chinese officials had already taken out gold bars one by one."
The people were talking a lot, but they made way for the middle-aged man. After the middle-aged man got on the high platform, Guo Songtao handed the plate with gold bars to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man thanked him quickly, and Guo Songtao nodded and said to the middle-aged man. Man, wait a minute.
Guo Songtao looked at the people below and said loudly: "Everyone, the fifty gold pieces this gentleman received was given by the state. No one is allowed to take it. Anyone who dares to steal his fifty gold pieces is an enemy of the country."
After Genia translated it, the middle-aged man was even more moved.
As the saying goes, a man is not guilty of having a jade in his possession. If a poor man suddenly has fifty gold, this is not a benefit. It may be a hot potato, which will lead to the destruction of his family.
But after Guo Songtao's words, no one dared to steal the man's fifty gold pieces.
This is the power of the country.
Genia stood nearby. He already understood Guo Songtao's intention. Genia always thought that Li Zhen was very scary, but now after seeing Guo Songtao's actions, he thought that the man in front of him was also very powerful. This simple move The wooden walls at the city gate definitely made many people believe in the China behind Guo Songtao.
This move is brilliant.
Guo Songtao asked the middle-aged man to go down. After the man went down with fifty gold, he smiled happily with a group of people in shabby clothes. They were all poor people. Having fifty gold was undoubtedly a timely help to them.
Seeing the happy scene of the man and his family, Guo Songtao nodded secretly.
Guo Songtao took a deep breath and said loudly: "Gentlemen, the Chinese army entered India not to plunder and kill, but for peace here. China is not Britain. Britain enslaves you and kills those who believe in you, but China will not. For this reason , I make an agreement with you here, firstly, those who kill will be killed, whether they are Chinese soldiers or locals, if they kill people at will, they will be shot directly; secondly, all legal provisions implemented by the British in India will be abolished and will no longer be used. , you no longer have to worry about being restrained; thirdly, the original officials continue to serve without fear of being held accountable."
Genia immediately translated, and the people couldn't help but nod after hearing this.
There was a smile on the people's faces.
Guo Songtao could not understand the words of the people, but he could feel the atmosphere and continued: "The Chinese army came to India to save everyone from fire and water. We are people-oriented and put the interests of the people first. We will never We will not harm any common people, but will only punish those who are harmful to the common people. Please rest assured."
As Genia translated, he looked at Guo Songtao with even more surprise.
This person is countless times more powerful than the British. Although he does not use force, he attacks the heart. This is the most powerful. It solves the problem fundamentally. And Genia is quite excited because he is the first loyal to China.
