Who took away my wealth

"Dad, stop yelling. He is the prince, the emperor's son, and he will be the emperor in the future."

Xu Zhixing explained on the side.

"Ah, look at me, I'm old and confused, and I forgot. These past few months, I've been waiting for an adult to come and save us little people."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a name. I don't mind. You can call it whatever you want."

"Hey, Your Highness, you can't do this, you can't..."

In this era of supremacy of imperial power, from top to bottom, the needs of the people may not have been taken seriously at all. Everything they did was to maintain dynamic stability and maintain the rule of imperial power.

Although Gu Yu has a modern and open mind and has received a modern education that everyone is equal, he is still powerless when he is alone in such a dynasty.

He sympathized with these people, but he could only deal with these people and their affairs in a gentle manner.

First of all, the actual deterrent effect of his status as "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" is not strong enough. Furthermore, even if he really wanted to go all out and help these people vent their anger, the Fat Emperor would not agree.

There may be too many people involved, which will shake the stability of the court.

The feudal dynasty ultimately safeguarded the interests of the feudal landlords. The Fat Emperor was the boss of the feudal landlords, so it was naturally impossible for him to dig his own foundation.

"Then who took your land?"

The little old man glanced sideways at Qian Daguo, who was standing behind Gu Yu, smacked his lips and did not dare to speak.

How could Gu with his ability to observe words and emotions fail to notice his eyes, and he immediately glanced behind him.

"Qian Daguo?"

"Your Highness, I swear that I have not invaded the land of the common people. I am a serious person. The last time I occupied their land, it was... also authorized by General Li, saying that they needed it in the army. I am a small official, but I am also a deputy in charge of the work on my behalf, so it’s hard not to listen.”

Gu Yu smiled, showing some big white teeth, but Qian Daguo looked a little sinister in his eyes:

"Now, between me and General Li, who do you listen to?"

Qian Daguo broke into a cold sweat and knelt down: "Of course it belongs to you, His Royal Highness. How dare I go against your will."

"Is there any way to repay this land?"

"this......"

Qian Daguo was in a bit of a dilemma.

"Can't you?"

"Yes! I will do it now!"

Gu Yu waved his hand and drove Qian Daguo back.

"Who is that, Xu Zhixing, how do you think about the houses that each household in this area lives in, how much food is left in the household, the number of people in the household, and how many people can work. In addition, how many children are studying in each household? List them all. Yinfeng, please take notes."

The house behind him was obviously a small and dilapidated old house, but it was brightened up by the people sitting in front of the house.

The sun shone slantly on Gu Yu's body. He leaned back on the small broken wicker chair, raised his chin, stretched his posture, and stretched out a very lazy waist.

Like a cat stretching in the sun.

Song Qinian just stared at him like this. At this time, Gu Yu happened to turn his head and saw his dazed eyes. Song Qinian quickly retracted his too hot and too purposeful gaze.

But his feet were kicked by the former.

"Kid, why were you staring at me just now?"

"Your Highness is so good-looking that you are not allowed to see more?"

"Tsk."

Gu Yu stared at him and said half-jokingly:

"I don't want to sell my appearance. You can watch it if you want. You have to pay for it."

As expected, Song Qinian stared at him with helpless eyes.

"Why did His Highness ask Xu Zhixing to report those things? Does it have any effect?"

After Gu Yu heard this, he sat up straight and explained to him seriously:

"This... actually there is a basis for this. Looking at houses means looking at the living conditions and living environment of the people, and you can see how poor they are; looking at food means seeing whether they still have land in their hands. What is the production situation like? To look at the labor force is to look at how many people in a household can go out to make money and whether there are disabled people. To look at whether there are scholars is to look at the education level of ordinary people's families.

After figuring out all of this, there are priorities when it comes to solving problems. Those who can't survive must be helped first and solved first. Only in this way can the problems be solved accurately to alleviate conflicts to the greatest extent, you know? "

The young man was stunned to see that there was such a thing.

He praised Gu Yu without hesitation: "Your Highness, you are so awesome. Did you get up secretly in the middle of the night to study?"

Gu Yu smiled and waved his hand, "No, no, I'm born smart, there's nothing I can do about it."

After speaking, he touched the tip of his nose, feeling slightly guilty.

There's no way he could say that he copied what was in the news, right?

This kind of concern for the common people is common to both ancient and modern times, so there shouldn't be any big mistakes.

"Your Highness, can you teach me more about these things?"

Song Qinian looked at Gu Yu expectantly.

"What, do you want to be an official in the future?"

The young man was stunned for a moment, then nodded without denying it.

Since Gu Yu thinks so, let him think so. One day, he will know what he is learning these things for.

"Then I have to chat with you. Go and bring a bench over here and sit down."

Although he "copied" the method, he did remember it himself. Gu Yu was quite impressed that he could speak such lofty words from his mouth, especially to get such admiring eyes from his younger brother. pride.

"If you want to investigate the situation, you must put down your body, lower your arrogance, and really mingle with the common people. Even if you are a high-ranking official, you must sit here and communicate with them in depth like me. Because you When listening to reports from subordinates, they are always mixed with their words. If they are not told with lies, they cannot be heard truthfully. To understand the real situation, we must treat the common people as equals.

You must know that it is not possible for a blind man to ride a blind horse, nor is it possible to use his faintness to make others aware. "

Song Qinian: "What if the problem that bothers you is not the land?"

Gu Yu: "What do you mean?"

Song Qinian: "That is, how can we unite people's hearts and make them unite?"

Gu Yu held his chin and thought for a while: "No matter what situation you are talking about, you have to put yourself in their position to see what they want, and you have to do your best to do it for them.

Just like on the street just now, I obviously didn't do anything but taught a person who almost bumped into me. The people were very happy because they also encountered the same situation, or it was something convenient for you, right? It was indeed something they had been looking forward to for a long time. "

The young man frowned thoughtfully.

Gu Yu nodded his eyebrows: "You're still so young, don't frown all the time. You'll get the Sichuan pattern in the future."
