Chapter 256: The Unstoppable War (2)
"What does it mean to be greedy for money?" Yao Yan was dissatisfied. "I am the president of the guild, so I naturally have to seek benefits for the guild! Besides, friendship is friendship, business is business. Even if I don't accept this money in the end, that's my favor. Our guild's favor must be made clear in advance."
Yao Yan shook his head and said, "You can only be an adventurer like this. You can't be a king. Xiute, no!" He taught everyone: "In this world, everything has a market price, and we strive to pursue technological progress in order to reduce costs, reduce costs on the basis of market price, and ultimately lower than the market price are our profits. Otherwise, why should we compete with other guilds? Why should we develop? We can discount or give in on the basis of market price, but we must let the other party know our goodness and let them discover that we are sincere, thoughtful, cheap, and face-saving to help us promote. To achieve this effect, we must never explain our internal price, OK? Even if you think in your heart, these brainless fat sheep will be slaughtered by the old man! We should have a good relationship with us, so we would rather suffer losses than give you concessions, OK?"
"Ok." Xiu Te was speechless and could only make ok gestures with both hands and surrender. After Yao Yan said this, he also understood that if he really said it foolishly, even if he finally gave in and was lower than the market price, they would still be unbalanced because you made more money.
Yao Yan saw too much about this kind of business trick in his previous life, but it was new to Xiute.
Especially Yao Yan's discussion on technology and cost, a few simple sentences made him suddenly feel enlightened.
Hey, you are too arrogant, the fat sheep you are listening here! Ge Bo wants to say this, but when he saw Qiao Ruodun's expression, he suddenly thought, Yao Yan said this in front of him, will he give in to the profit? It's indeed his own family... And what he said makes sense. They can reduce costs, is it their ability, and the market price, or do they have to do it according to the market price... Letting them give in is to make them suffer, hey? Why is it so strange? My position is wrong...
Compared with Ge Bo's tangled with money issues here, Qiao Ruoduan has been thinking about the simple matter of stopping war just now. Qiao Ruoduan, who is careless, is relatively not very concerned about money issues. Anyway, the money will be shared by both countries in the end, and he will pay as much as Ge Bo pays.
After hearing what Yao Yan said, he finally finished speaking, and he asked quickly: "Yao Yan... President, you just said that it is very easy to stop the war?"
"It's very simple for me." Yao Yan pointed at his nose and emphasized the four words "for me".
"Please give me advice!" Qiao Ruodun bowed seriously.
"If you want to stop the war, you must understand the nature of war." Yao Yan said, "War is the extension of the economy, and everything must be attributed to interests, and the distribution of interests must be divided by class."
Yao Yan still did his homework. He knew that because the transportation on all sides of the Long River Plain was inconvenient, neither Daowo nor Elan had a big businessman with a lot of climate. Some local merchants had not yet formed a stable class. Several major businessmen in the Principality were all big businessmen from outside, and their influence in China was not strong enough.
Excluding the merchant class, the classes of the two countries are simple. The larger class is just royal family, noble family and civilians.
"No matter what kind of war it is, civilians benefit the least. No one in power means anything to them. As long as they can live, they will not choose to fight." Yao Yan said, "And the issue of right to survive is no longer a problem."
In fact, Yao Yan didn't say something. Even if the dragon invades the people, the civilians are unwilling to fight. Even if they live within the scope of the dragon's life, even if the dragon invades such a vast space, it will take many years for the dragon to invades it. As long as they don't live in a big city, it will not be too safe. In the final analysis, these royal families and nobles are unwilling to lose their own lives and have adopted strict control over the people.
After solving the threat of the dragon, the royal family and nobles had no reason to continue to let the huge waste of land around them. It was a foregone conclusion that residents had moved back.
"There is an old saying in my hometown that the people can use it, and they cannot use it, and they cannot use it, and they know it. The meaning of this sentence is that if the people are willing to do that, let them do it. If the people are unwilling to do that, tell them and let them know the truth." Yao Yan said, "It is meaningless to let the civilians know that the dragon is dead. This war will continue. Let all soldiers know that this battle is completely a matter of some people with ulterior motives who are driving them to seize their own interests. The final result will be completely unfavorable to them."
"Will they believe it?" As a king, sometimes Gerber also deeply felt the ignorance and ineducation of the people.
"People will believe what they are willing to believe." Yao Yan smiled. Even if they are just suspicious, it doesn't matter, because this is just the first step. The word "ulterior motive" is a very interesting word. In fact, anyone has ulterior motives, but people cannot tolerate others having ulterior motives.
"The first step is completed, and the second step can be carried out to differentiate the nobles." Yao Yan said, "The nobles are the most complex objects. Their interests are different, and they are completely incomparable to the civilians who can survive. So this is a little more troublesome. To deal with them, you must use all coercion and inducement to make them obediently."
Coercion and temptation? How to temptation? How to temptation? Ge Bo and Qiao Ruodu both think Yao Yan is too simple.
"After you go back, you immediately order to stop the war and then start to enfeoff the territory." Yao Yan said.
"Title the territory? What seal?" Ge Bo and Qiao Ruodu were both confused.
"Of course..." Yao Yan opened his arms and turned around, "Of course it's the entire Long River Plain. Are you still planning to be assigned to the Liyuan Wilderness?"
Because of the relative closure of the Changhe Plain, the south is the ice elemental people who live only in cold areas, and the north is the Winter people who live only in hot areas. The east and the west are far away from other sections on both sides, so it is impossible to face large-scale invasions of foreign enemies, and it is impossible to expand to the outside world. They can only live in the Changhe Plain. Now there are only these two countries in the entire country, so these two countries can naturally divide the entire Changhe Plain.
Speaking of this, Yao Yan suddenly remembered something important. He took a map in front of two people and said, "Die it quickly!"
"What are you going to divide?" The two of them became even more confused.
"Divid the territory, divide the border first, otherwise how do you divide the territory when you divide the territory? What should you do if you repeat it? Then fight?" Yao Yan glared at the two uninformed kings, speechless.
"When you divide the border, then you will distribute your own domestic things to the nobles and order them to go to the fiefdom within a limited time. If you do not go on time, the fiefdom will be taken back and directly assigned to other nobles. In the future, the biggest task of your two countries will be to open up the land." Yao Yan said.
"Oh!" The two kings suddenly realized and said it clearly. The two kings who had been kings for a long time immediately became enlightened. Gebo's mind was quicker. "The territory is the foundation of the nobles. There are always some nobles who cannot resist the temptation of the territory. In this way, the number of people who start war on the front line will be reduced. If some nobles still plan to continue to start the war, I will directly impart their territory to others... But will they not rebound in this way?"
"Back?" Yao Yan smiled disdainfully, "Don't worry."
Seeing Yao Yan's calm smile, Ge Bo's back felt cold. Yao Yan's smile was not sure what bloody storm was going to cause. The dragon, which could not be killed by the combined national strength of the two countries, was easily dealt with by Yao Yan and others. These nobles dared to play tricks in front of Yao Yan, wouldn't it be a death sentence?
However, will killing the nobles for no reason... cause greater turmoil? This question has also been considered.
"It's very simple, Yao Yan smiled and said, "If you kill that noble, you may not necessarily deprive him of his title. You will directly grant the title to his heirs. If his heirs also disagree, then continue to kill and give the second heir." The nobles' feelings are indifferent. At that time, many people are afraid that their father, uncle, uncle, etc. will be killed, so that they can sit on the throne. Yao Yan's move is more vicious than the move just now, and this is a conflict in these noble families. The decline of the great nobles often starts with family conflicts. Internal disputes are taboos for aristocrats and a fate that cannot be avoided. This is a vicious circle. Whether to die or inherit the title and fiefdom is a good choice. I believe that Yao Yan only needs to take action once or twice to make all the nobles obey their orders.
Yao Yan's understatement made Qiao Ruodu feel chills on his back, no wonder Yao Yan felt simple. Although Yao Yan's method was a little cruel, it was indeed very efficient. Perhaps, for people of this ability, ordinary people are like ants. They are no longer the same creatures as ordinary people. If they plan to interfere, anything in the world will not be difficult.
"There are often only a very small number of people who really promote the war. As long as they are killed, the war will naturally end." Yao Yan said, "So, this matter is really much simpler than you think."
Of course, this practice may leave behind some sequelae and instability factors, but Yao Yan is not worried.
No matter whether Xiu Te is willing to come back to be king in the future, he and Catherine will become the patron saints of these two countries. No matter what, in Yao Yan's plan, in a few years, let alone suppressing the nobles of these small countries, even if there is another real dragon on the Long River Plain, Yao Yan will not be able to take action. In Yao Yan's plan, Xiu Te and Catherine have already booked the magic net. They will sooner or later become gods. Perhaps under their promotion, the two countries will truly become one.
