The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men

Chapter 28 Public Opinion, Rehearsal

In three days, Qin Xingfu inspected the potatoes and sweet potatoes, and asked people to loosen the soil and apply fertilizer to the land.

This time, 38,900 kilograms of potatoes, 96,700 kilograms of sweet potatoes, 1,000 kilograms of peppers, and various fruits and vegetables were harvested. Except for those occasionally sent to the palace, the rest were kept by Qin Xingfu for seeds.

Qin Xingfu finished the statistics and sent the results directly to Fusu. Now she is waiting for the results of others. Once agriculture is on the right track, she doesn't want to do it anymore. She wants to build ships! Destroy Xu Fu!!!

She also wanted to travel around the world and conquer all the territories. All of them would belong to her. When she thought that the world belonged to China, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahaha... oh my, it's all oh my!"

When the others saw her like that, they also laughed. They were so proud of such a good harvest in such a short time. They heard that they had to plant again, which would be amazing! In the future, just as she said, the uneaten grain would be used to feed the pigs.

"Ahem... the old sweet potato vines are used to feed the pigs. Here, take these home and cook or roast them. There are thirty of you, so each of you can take 100 kilograms. It's okay, it's just a small amount. I don't put it in my account. Hurry up and plant another round. We can have a good New Year by the end of this year. Plant these two things after you harvest other crops."

Qin Xingfu left after he finished speaking, not caring about other things. As for the rewards at the end of this year, Qin Xingfu thought he could give potatoes and sweet potatoes to the ministers. Yeah! There is a lot of money left. I will go back to study potato chips and French fries, roasted sweet potatoes, dried sweet potatoes, vermicelli, etc. Then let His Majesty treat everyone to a potato and sweet potato banquet. I am such a genius! Qin Xingfu sighed again in his heart.

"Sir, are you so happy about the good harvest?"

Godard asked her.

"That's right. The more high-yield grain we produce, the less likely people will starve to death, and society will be more stable. By then, everyone will have food to eat, clothes to wear, and a wife to marry. How wonderful it would be. Do you want such a life?"

Gao De felt longing after hearing what she said. Yes, those days would be beautiful.

"Sir, you should be the prime minister, so that everyone in the world can have food to eat and clothes to wear. It would be great if everyone can have their own land."

Now the land is vast and the population is sparse. As long as the population increases, the land problem will be faced. She is unhappy about not having time to do what she likes.

"Who cares? I don't even want to do this. My biggest hobbies are reading, making things, flying in the sky and swimming in the sea. Just thinking about it makes me happy."

Although Gao De had never seen it before, he firmly believed that Qin Xingfu could do it, and nodded in cooperation.

Qin Xingfu was in a good mood, so he sang happily.

"You are the long road, the lamp in the foggy mountains. I am a child walking in your eyes. You are the bright moon and the gentle breeze. I am the dream you caress. Whether we see each other or not, I will embrace you for the rest of my life. I will love the world you love and wish for the smile you wish for. I am staggering in your hand, please take me to tomorrow. If you have been more bitter than I have been sweet, I am willing to live up to your wish. I wish it will not be in vain and I wish to move forward bravely, every day in this prosperous age..."

In fact, Qin Xingfu has gradually come to like this place. The people here are always grateful to her, and the sense of accomplishment and gain makes her even happier.

Gao De didn't understand what she was singing, but the melody made him feel excited and sad, as if he had to go through a lot of hardships to get a good life. In his heart, Qin Xingfu was a god who came down to earth. Otherwise, how could someone know everything?

He even thought that His Majesty was not praying for immortality, but praying to God to grant Great Qin a fairy, to bless Great Qin with good weather, good harvests, and a prosperous population. But they would not tell anyone, because the Lord said she was an ordinary person, and they were afraid that if people knew her identity as a fairy, she would return to heaven.

One night, when the summer was hottest, a beam of light streaked across the sky. People who were enjoying the cool in the yard saw it. Qin Xingfu raised his eyelids. Has Yinghuo Shouxin appeared? Next, a war of public opinion will be waged.

"Lingjuan, Shishu, let the twelve-year-olds come over. I will teach them some performance skills today."

Qin Xingfu had a serious look on his face and started writing a story on paper, which was adapted from history.

Lingjuan and the others brought the children waiting outside, about sixty or seventy of them. Hu Hai was also inside. He relied on his status to run rampant in the school every day. As long as he didn't violate the principles and didn't bully others, Qin Xingfu turned a blind eye to it.

Everyone is present and the outline of Qin Xingfu's story has been written.

"Come here, all of you, form a circle. Today I will teach you a skill, which is acting. I have a story here, and I need you to act it out vividly. I will assign roles based on your performance, but you will need to go out and perform on the streets for some time. Are you willing?"

"Sir, like those entertainers?"

someone asked.

"No, you guys, they have no choice. You can make your own choice."

Children in ancient times matured precociously, and Qin Xingfu gave them a certain degree of choice, and everyone communicated quietly.

"Sir, can we listen to a story first?"

This is a smart man, Qin Xingfu nodded, but this name could not be changed, Qin Xingfu had to follow them.

"Okay, you are all ready, I will start telling the story. This is a story about a rumor that destroyed a country. According to legend, there is a country called Lion Country. The people there believe in gods very much. They have a very good king. Originally, their country was very poor and weak, and other countries often bullied Lion Country. Since the appearance of the king, he led the people to defeat many countries, and those people surrendered to him. The king did not treat people from other countries harshly, but fed them well. However, some people in other countries were unwilling to give up. They wanted to kill the king and steal the king's country and destiny in the chaos, so they began to forge various "miracles". When they saw a meteorite falling from the sky, they sent people to carve words on it, saying that the king would die there, spread rumors everywhere, and shake people's hearts. The people in that country were very stupid and believed those rumors. The king was old and had endless things to do every day. He also had to find a way to prove that the rumors were rumors, so he could only go to worship the gods in person. As a result, he was killed on the way..."

Hu Hai listened to the story and felt that it was very familiar, as if it was about his father. Huh? That was not right. How could his father be so stupid? Whoever believed the rumor would be killed, just like the alchemists who had lied to him before. But he didn't know why, even though it was clearly the alchemists who lied, the rumor spread among the people that his father had killed innocent people.

"...Later, the Great King's country was taken away by others. The people of the Lion Country really thought they had met a savior, but in the end they were deceived. The so-called 'destiny' was just a scam. So many people were deceived, and many died because of it. Their wives and children were separated, their families were broken up, and some even had no children or grandchildren. Do you think such people are hateful?"

While Hu Hai was thinking, Qin Xingfu had already finished telling the story.

"It's hateful, so hateful!"

"How can there be such a person?"

"Sir, that's right, why would people believe such a simple scam?"

Everyone is talking about it. Even the children don’t believe it, so why would the adults believe it?

Qin Xingfu slowly drank a sip of water and listened to them finish talking.

"Do you want to know the reason?"

"miss you!"

Everyone said in unison, and Qin Xingfu nodded.

"That's because they haven't been educated! They don't know that rumors stop at wise people, and they blindly believe others. When you grow up, you must learn to distinguish rumors, understand? Without investigation, you have no right to speak. We must achieve unity of knowledge and action."

After she finished speaking, she looked at their expressions of sudden enlightenment and found it really funny.

"Now that the story is over, who among you would like to play the role of the great king? Those who want to play the role, raise your hands."

Many pairs of little hands were raised high, and Hu Hai also joined in.

"I'll do it. I'm the biggest. I'll do it! I'm the young master and you are not allowed to snatch me away."

Afraid that Qin Xingfu would not choose him, he directly used his power to pressure her, but Qin Xingfu rolled his eyes at him.

"Your identity is useless here. The big king has a short time, and the villain has a long time. He has a lot of scenes. You should play the role. The more capable you are, the more work you will do."

Qin Xingfu refused to follow his wish and gave him the role of a villain.

"Qin Xingfu, you did this on purpose, it's not fair!"

Hu Hai jumped angrily.

"Who told you to use your power to oppress others? This is my territory and I am the boss. If you don't want to act, don't act at all. You play the king. If it doesn't suit you, then someone else can play."

Qin Xingfu pointed at the tallest person and continued to point at other people.

"You play the villain who came up with the idea, and you play the villain's wife..."

After urgently arranging the people, they began to rehearse. Qin Xingfu did not require them to have good acting skills, as long as they could convey the meaning.

They revised the script while rehearsing, making the story more complete and adding some comedy elements. It was very late before Qin Xingfu let them rest.

"Your classes will be suspended tomorrow. Come back after breakfast. You've worked hard in rehearsal, so I'll give you some extra meat."

"Your Excellency is so kind!"

"Okay, here are some eggs. Eat one each and go to sleep. I'll tell you again, you are not allowed to hide food. If we find it again, we will kick you out of the school."

These children all want to bring delicious food back home. It’s useless to preach to them again and again. Just tell them the punishment directly.

There were a few students who refused to change their ways despite repeated admonitions. When they heard they were going to be expelled from the school, they quickly took out the eggs and ate them.

After five days of rehearsal, Qin Xingfu took them to perform in front of the library. There were not many people at the beginning, but gradually people were attracted. The young actors began to say that they were too nervous to speak, so Qin Xingfu stopped them and comforted them.

"It's okay. Your first performance was already great. I'll be directing you from below. Just treat it as a rehearsal. Come on, each of you have an egg. Eat it and rinse your mouth before going on stage."

Perhaps Qin Xingfu's words were effective, or perhaps it was because of eating eggs, the young actors began to calm down.

"Come on, take a deep breath, inhale...exhale..."

After taking a few deep breaths, she regained her composure and continued on stage. Qin Xingfu gave silent commands from the side. Everyone focused their attention on her gestures for a moment, not caring how many people were watching.

Everybody performed seriously, which was very attractive to ordinary people. More and more people gathered and watched the performance seriously. When they saw the bad guy kill the king in the end, they gnashed their teeth in hatred. If Qin Xingfu had not sent soldiers to surround them, they would have gone up to capture the guy and killed him.

Finally, Yue Xin's narration sounded.

"A rumor destroyed everything and killed the great king who worked hard for the people's better life. Those poor people were fooled by the new king and were grateful to him, but they never looked back to see how many of their brothers and sisters died because of him! How pitiful! Rumors stop at wise men. They just follow what others say without their own opinions and thinking ability. That's all. They are just a group of ignorant people. It's really pitiful, hateful and lamentable!"

Every time Yue Xin talked about it, he felt like he was talking about his past self, who had no opinions of his own on anything. It was only when Qin Xingfu asked her to be flexible and not rigid that he started to use his brain and think of multiple solutions when encountering problems.

The people watching the show could only hear the voices but not see the people. Some of the words were easy to understand, but it still felt weird. Some people took the opportunity to recall the scene and slapped their thighs.

"Oh, Master Qin, are you saying that we are stupid? We believe whatever others say and don't have our own ideas."

At this time, Qin Xingfu hurriedly took his people to the next place. After visiting the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, the whole Xianyang city became lively. Everyone was discussing what Qin Xingfu meant by this move?

When Zhang Liang knew it, a mouthful of old blood stuck in his chest. She was really too much! Completely ignoring his warnings, he took a deep breath repeatedly, and then went to find Li Si.

What Qin Xingfu had done was known by the First Emperor, and a group of people were arrested and brought into the palace. The others knelt outside the door, and Qin Xingfu was called in alone.

"You are really getting more and more presumptuous. You really think you can do whatever you want just because you have done something wrong. It seems that you didn't get enough beatings before, right?"

The First Emperor asked her with a dark face, her actions had disrupted all his plans, he was very confident that as long as he didn't die, those people would be found out eventually, and he had already started planning, but because of her actions, those people hid even deeper.

Qin Xingfu didn't want to talk, nor did he kneel. Instead, he stood upright and spoke.

"Your Majesty, this is called a war of public opinion. We should take the initiative to seize the initiative, so that those unfavorable remarks will be questioned. In this way, we can win the hearts of the people, and then bestow high-yield grain on the people of the world so that they will not starve to death. We can also paint a rosy picture for them, telling them that if they believe in the court and your Majesty, they will have enough food to eat and clothes to wear in the future. We can let them have their own houses, and their children can read and write, and become officials to bring honor to their ancestors. Who in the world would dare to rebel? It's a waste of time to use your method, and you have to be cautious. Others can't see how much hardship and fatigue you have endured. The crying child gets candy.

The people only believe the rumors spread by others, saying that you kill innocent people indiscriminately, have harsh laws, and are a tyrant, and they will rebel at any excuse. I am doing this to find a way to expose all the conspiracies and tricks. Under the sun, those snakes, insects, rats and ants in the gutter will have nowhere to hide. "

Qin Xingfu really didn't understand the thought processes of the ancients. Such a simple problem was always made very complicated.

"Are you questioning my decision? Who gave you the courage?"

"You gave it to me. Who else could it be? You knew I existed, but you didn't kill me. Instead, you used me to disrupt the court. Now many people are neither on Li Si's side nor on my side. On the contrary, they are more loyal to you."
