Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 352 The Ninth Prince Wants to Be Like the Fifth Uncle

The Ninth Prince asked someone to come in and buy a shop on the street next to the Su Family Teahouse and open a grain shop, so that they might be able to do business. That way they could get closer to the teahouse and better protect them.

If he wants to come here in the future, he will have to do the grain business, and these must be in his own hands. Only with grain in hand can you not panic. In the places under your rule, the biggest problem is usually food. As long as they can eat and wear warm clothes, the people below will not make trouble.

Every time there was unrest in history, it was because the people were living in poverty, hungry and poor, that the common people would start an uprising. How could they be expected to obey when they had no way to survive?

Even though they might die in the end, on the brink of life and death, not fighting is inevitable, but fighting may give them a chance to survive.

The Ninth Prince found that the common people were the most honest. If they could dig for food and keep warm, they would be very content. But some people were still worried about their little food rations. They were really inhuman!

If he hadn't come out, he wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with doing so. They were all subjects of the royal family, and their lives and deaths were in their hands. He didn't think the servants had any hardship. Similarly, the common people should pay taxes for farming their land, and if they couldn't pay, they should find a way out themselves.

Although they have also studied history and have a deep understanding of the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, subjects and the people, and the monarch and the people, it is only when they really come to the people that they know that the people must live a stable life, and only then will they support the country without hesitation when it is in trouble.

The fact that Fenggu City was able to win this great victory was the result of the people of the city fighting the enemy together. If the people were living in poverty, where would they get the ice? Where would they get the money to buy materials?

Therefore, it has been said since ancient times that most of the loyal people are butchers, and most of the unfaithful people are scholars. Some of the words said by scholars are really unacceptable. Every time the civil officials in the hall proposed to increase taxes, the Ninth Prince now thinks that they just don't understand the people's sentiments and are talking nonsense with books in their hands.

My father used his salary to support these ignorant people, I don't know whether it is right or wrong. Many of them inherited their father's positions, they themselves have no merits, just because they have a good father, they can stand there and talk nonsense, and some ignorant people will agree with them.

The Ninth Prince was more and more unwilling to stay in the court. He did not think he could be a good emperor. If he stayed in the capital for a long time, he would be influenced by them.

If you want to be a sober person, you have to stay away from these people. He has seen too many intrigues and schemes in the capital. In fact, no one who sits in that position will necessarily be so comfortable and relaxed.

With the imperial power in hand, one must appease all parties. The rights and interests of the noble families will not be weakened by the change of imperial power. What they want is to hold some power in the court and safeguard their own interests.

They have so many people plotting against you, it's exhausting just thinking about it. The Ninth Prince didn't want to spend every day like that. His Fifth Uncle was doing well now, with considerable power, and he didn't have to worry about these things.

But what he wants to do now is to see who can finally sit in that position, he doesn't want to be implicated by others. His father had many brothers, but in the end there are only a few left, and everyone knows why.

Everyone knew the unspoken reason. He didn't want to fight for that position, but he couldn't be one of those people either. He wanted to be someone like the Fifth Uncle.

He had no brothers, so he could only stay away from the capital, so that he would not be implicated. He didn't know what his father was thinking. He was still in his prime, and what he had to do was to accumulate his abilities and make plans for the future.
