After Chu Zongyuan heard Qin Hu's question, he thought for a long time.

The common people were waiting with bated breath for his answer. Seeing him slowly opening his mouth, his heart was in his throat. Some people even shouted: "Old Master, you can't keep us waiting for too long.

Could it be that if you don’t apologize for a month, people will have to wait here for you for a month?”

"Yes, this is too unreasonable, and we don't accept it."

"Who told you to wait for a month?" Chu Zongyuan stood up angrily and said sternly: "If you can't forgive me, you can't forgive me. Am I a scoundrel?"

"Uh!" It took a while for everyone to react, and they burst into laughter. It was the first time they saw such a person, and he still lost with such aura.

"Master, since you can't forgive me, please give way." Someone laughed and cheered.

But Chu Zongyuan put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly: "This is obviously the topic he copied. Why should I give way? Could it be that the Qi family can govern the country and the world by relying on a pair of couplets."

"Then what do you want to do?"

Chu Zongyuan accused Qin Hu and said: "You show off your force everywhere and have no knowledge in your heart. Even if you capture Chang'an, you will only be like Li Jue and Guo Si. You will be defeated sooner or later. I won't let you enter the city. It's actually for your own good. If you

If you are not convinced, I have a few questions to ask you."

"Sir, please speak." Qin Hu smiled.

Chu Zongyuan asked: "Now that people's livelihood is in decline, rituals and music are ruined, after you enter the city, what measures will you take to bring order to the chaos and save the world?"

Qin Hu understands the thoughts of people like Chu Zongyuan, and he also knows how to bring order to chaos. Speaking it out is a routine, but doing it will truly make him a wise master.

It's very easy to say.

At that moment, his face straightened, he cupped his hands and said: "I will reward farming, supervise production, promote rituals and music, emphasize education, establish imperial examinations, select talents, protect the two capitals with strong troops, and then pacify the world. Open canals, develop water conservancy, and eliminate corvee labor.

, light taxes and let the people have enough food and clothing."

Confucian students who have attended school for a few days will say this kind of nonsense. The only people who can't speak it are the warlords. First, they are really illiterate. Second, even if they know the alphabet, they can't speak it.

If you say that, there will be no way to rob.

Therefore, what Qin Hu said was actually not very good upon closer inspection, but his magnanimity and mind really impressed the people. At least he was not bad-tempered, and he was not a reckless man by any means.

This will put everyone at ease.

"Pay attention to salt and iron, crack down on smuggling, open up government warehouses, stabilize food prices, appease the rebels, make them farm again, stabilize the refugees, and bring peace to society as soon as possible. In this way, we can still catch up with the autumn harvest. As long as we persist for a few months,

The lives of ordinary people can be a little better."

"Seriously, that's really our blessing. What this king says is better than what he sings, but we don't believe it. We admit that you have a little bit of ink in your belly, but you are just a talker. Wait until you sit down

After stabilizing Guanzhong, we will definitely have to impose exorbitant taxes because you have to fight and you are short of money."

Taking advantage of the chaos at the scene, some of the brave people squatted in the crowd and started shouting loudly, but no one knew who said it anyway.

"The granaries of the Yu Dynasty are enough for me to fight the war. I can last for at least one year next year, and the silk is piled up like a mountain. I don't need you to come up with money. I admit that what I said can never be achieved overnight, but I, Qin

Tiger will definitely not extend his butcher's knife to the common people, this is something we can rest assured."

"I can promise you that there will never be corvee service in my army, and I will exempt you from half of your taxes. Except for the civilian men who need your help, and the rest of the craftsmen who come to work in our army, I will not lose you a penny.

"

"If you can fulfill your promise, we common people will stand by your side even if we die." Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

"Yes, father and son, although His Highness the King of Yan has a bad reputation, he has also provided relief to the people in the past. Let's trust him once. Just give in. Don't anger him, which will be unsightly. Everyone will suffer from you.

If you are implicated, then your sin will be more serious."

What this man said is not unreasonable. If it were another warlord, he would have sent troops to massacre the city. Now that you meet someone with a better temper, you are just teasing the cat. This is very unwise.

"It doesn't matter. I have always convinced people with virtue, and my army will never do anything detrimental to the people. I will definitely convince this gentleman today." Qin Hu stretched out his arms to suppress everyone, and said in an approachable manner.

.

"Father and son, the king is so benevolent and righteous, are you still dissatisfied?" the common people shouted.

Chu Zongyuan looked at Qin Hu coldly, and suddenly laughed wildly and said: "Everyone, everyone can say nice things, but people who can do good things, Feng Fei Ling Jiao, on the one hand, look at their temperament and self-cultivation, and on the other hand, they also need to look at whether they have knowledge in their chests.

Tao Lue, this great king is either an extremely treacherous tycoon or a truly benevolent and righteous man. I will give him another try."

An old man said unconvinced: "Is it possible to take the top prize?"

Chu Zongyuan sneered: "The sage said, clever words make people look bright and benevolent, but they have no ideas, and they will not achieve great results in the end. This question of mine is more difficult than the top scorer. Since ancient times, no one has cracked it."

"Then you are trying to make things difficult for others." Everyone started to get angry. After all, Qin Hu was the King of Yan. He was above the princes, kings and ministers, and he was truly beneath one person. It was already quite good to have such a good temper.

It is said that he persuades people with his virtue, but no one has any objection.

"I have nothing to say to you. Mr. Qin, do you dare to break my Zhenlong chess game?"

"Ah!" A sudden realization flashed through Qin Hu's mind: "I know, it turns out that Master is the most famous scholar in the world, Mr. Chu Zongyuan. I am disrespectful, Qin Hu pays homage to Mr. Chu."

Chu Zongyuan clasped his hands behind his back and said arrogantly: "I don't dare. I am a poor scholar. In front of your hundreds of thousands of armored troops, I can't even be counted as an ant. But I have always only worshiped benevolence and righteousness. You, a so-called

I really don’t take him seriously, the great marshal of the world’s soldiers and horses. I won’t salute you.”

As soon as everyone heard that he was Chu Zongyuan, they immediately felt respectful and did not dare to speak. They watched him quietly as he used his mouth to defeat King Yan's million-strong armored army.

"How about it, you don't dare to challenge, but you still can't play chess? You are the great marshal of the world, if you can't even deal with side games, why are you here deceiving the people with one, two, three, four, five?" Chu Zongyuan

Hehehehe sneered, as if Qin Hu was convinced.

"I'm here to accept the challenge!" Qin Hu suddenly handed over his hand.
