Chapter 218 True unity between the military and the people! "What's so difficult about this?"Yun Chuhuan's mind was still on the fact that his fifth sister didn't seem to be poisoned. Although he didn't know exactly what was going on, he thought that maybe he had misunderstood the issue. Hearing his father say this unexpectedly, he subconsciously replied: "Father, why don't you just order them to move quickly? Do those people dare to disobey the order?" That's going to kill your head! "It's not that simple." Emperor Xuanwu was so speechless by his brain that he rolled his eyes: "The people were located in a place with a dike on one side and a low-lying area that had been flooded on the other side. There is no way out on both ends. If we want to evacuate all the people, we need not only to dispatch ships but also to arrange manpower.” But time waits for no one. There are a large number of people waiting to be relocated, but the court is seriously short of manpower to arrange for them to go there... "Can't the army be allowed to pass?" "what?"
I originally told Yun Shu all these things because I wanted to see if I could get some predictive information from her. The second is to enable her to understand more about these government affairs. But I didn't expect that after she heard it, she didn't even think about it and blurted out the solution! Emperor Xuanwu was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he heard Yunshu ask in a matter-of-fact tone: “Isn’t the army supposed to protect the people?” “Is this how you understand this sentence?” Yun Chuhuan was confused when he heard this: "The military is on the battlefield to protect civilians, and this is not a battlefield." "But there aren't that many battlefields now!" Yun Shu shrugged. "Besides, how can protection not be protection?" Yun Chuhuan: “…” Okay, that seems to make sense? Ah, my head itches and my brain seems to be not enough! Is this okay? Yun Chuhuan looked at Emperor Xuanwu for help, and the latter also looked thoughtful at this moment: "In theory, your method is indeed feasible. But the discord between the military and civilians has not happened overnight. If the army is asked to help the civilians... I'm afraid it's easy for some other trouble to arise." Disharmony between the military and civilians? What a niche word!
Isn’t the word “army” a reassuring presence just by hearing it? Yun Shu was slightly confused for a moment, and soon thought of the reasons for the discord between the military and the people in history - In ancient times, there were not as many requirements for being a soldier as there are today. Many of them joined the army because their families were really poor and they had no other choice. There were all kinds of hooligans and even criminals who were sent to the army. If it really happened during a war, with everyone united against the enemy, perhaps there would be some touching brotherhood. But when there is no war, it might be a little better if you meet a strict military discipline. When military discipline is lax, it is not uncommon for soldiers to oppress the people! Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for military-civilian relations to improve. but…… "It is precisely because of the discord between the military and the people that we need the army to help!" Yun Shu quickly changed his mind: "Father, think about it, if a local hooligan is hated and spitted upon wherever he goes, will he feel any psychological burden when he does bad things?" Without waiting for Emperor Xuanwu to answer, she continued very smoothly: "Certainly not! But what if everyone praises him every day for being a gentleman and a good person? When he does something bad again, will he feel embarrassed to betray everyone's trust and praise?" "No one likes to be hated and spit on if they can be respected and praised!" Yun Shu said seriously: "Father, you can start from this moment to change the relationship between the military and the people. Think about it, if the Tiansheng Dynasty could truly achieve unity between the military and the people..." True unity between the military and the people! Hearing these words, even a calm emperor like Emperor Xuanwu couldn't help but skip a beat. Since the beginning of historical records, there seems to have never been true unity between the military and the people. If there really comes such a day... who in Tiansheng Dynasty can defeat us! Unfortunately, the life selection simulation system entered the upgrade state at such a critical moment. Otherwise, he should know now whether this can be achieved, right? Restraining his excitement, Emperor Xuanwu began to seriously discuss the feasibility of this matter with Yunshu: "If we want to take this first step, we must first ensure that the soldiers sent to help the people will not take advantage of the situation." "Father, you can send someone to the army to tell the soldiers that they need help to rescue the trapped people and ask them to volunteer. They don’t have to come, but if they come and are found to have taken even a single penny from the people, they will be immediately punished by military law and made to pay double the amount!” Yun Shu suggested: “Let me put it this way first. If we can gather enough people, that would be the best. Because this first group of volunteers probably all sincerely want to help the people. If you can't get it together, think of other ways. When the number of people is gathered, tell them that there will be a reward for rescuing the trapped people..." "Reward?" Emperor Xuanwu frowned slightly: “It will take a lot of manpower to rescue the trapped people. If everyone is rewarded, the expense will probably be huge.
Moreover, it is definitely impossible to truly achieve unity between the military and the people just this once. If we have to give out a large reward every time..." “You have to give some sweet treats at the beginning! Later, when these soldiers get used to the feeling of being trusted and respected by the people, even if there is no large reward, they will probably still be willing to consciously maintain this honor! As for the reward this time..." You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Since she has set her eyes on this country of Tiansheng, these soldiers and civilians will be hers in the future! Yun Shu gritted his teeth and said generously: "If the Ministry of Revenue really doesn't want to pay, then I will pay for it!" Yun Chuhuan: “!!!” Is this the confidence of being rich? Woo woo woo, can Fifth Sister help him pay back the tens of thousands of taels of debt he owes? I never expected that just by listening to my father and my fifth sister discussing political affairs, I could hear such a critical shock. Yun Chuhuan hugged his poor self with heartache. Emperor Xuanwu was equally shocked. Although he knew that Yun Shu had made a lot of money by laying ground dragons and operating Tianwaitian Restaurant and Xianting, But that was her own little treasury after all. Just as a princess, she can so selflessly pay out of her own pocket for the country and the people. Compare this to the prince who sold out his official positions at the expense of the people in order to fill his own pockets... Emperor Xuanwu only felt that his desire to depose the crown prince and enthrone the crown princess had become more urgent. There is one more chapter, later~
