In the past two years or so, Lin Ziran has basically not considered any people's livelihood issues, let alone political slogans and other issues.

It's not that he doesn't know these things, in fact, just in terms of shouting slogans, he can shout a lot of them every minute, even if it is a slogan of various isms, he knows some of it.

But!

He didn't do that!

Because in the past, his attention was focused on expanding his armaments and intriguing with other feudal towns.

As for the people's livelihood and people's hearts, he didn't bother to shout, why? Because he doesn't care about the lives of most ordinary people at all, and even Lin Ziran doesn't treat these people as people, he just treats them as NPCs, or even meaningless data.

In the past two years, to some extent, Lin Ziran is actually more like playing a realistic strategy game, a realistic strategy game for dominating the blue star.

This is not normal!

It is impossible for a normal person to have this kind of thought in his head in a normal environment.

For example, on Earth, if someone says that they want to dominate the Earth and completely unify the Earth, then there is no doubt that they must be a madman.

Lin Ziran is a normal person, and when he was on Earth, he would never have such thoughts.

But when it came to Blue Star, he had this idea, and the most important thing was that he really did it.

Why?

Because he doesn't think of this place as the real world, but as a game, and the whole mentality is like people playing those games of supremacy.

And this mentality sounds strange, but it is exactly what it is.

He didn't feel that this world was the world he actually lived in.

Even Lin Ziran suspected that he was dreaming, although this dream was a little longer and more real, but he still couldn't be completely sure that this world was real, not a fictional dream.

He lacks a true sense of identity with the world, and this feeling comes from the loneliness of his heart!

Because he is an earthling, with a high probability, he is a planet, or even the only earthling in this time and space.

As the only earthling, he felt endless loneliness in this world!

The land of the Blue Star here, the water of the Blue Star, the people of the Blue Star, and even his body, that is also the body of the Blue Star people.

In this world, only his soul is earthly, and nothing else.

Therefore, even if he comes into contact with the Blue Star people every day, he still feels endless loneliness, and in this case, he examines the world more from the sidelines, rather than blending into it.

He sees good things and bad things, and is curious and even surprised by some things.

But whether these things are good or bad, they can't empathize with him.

He is like a soul floating on the blue star, silently watching the world, and fiddling with fun when he sees it.

The tax cut is also largely based on this inner thought.

Seriously, he had never really felt heartache for the suffering of the Great Heng people before, that was the idea that only the Great Heng people would have, and he was not a Great Heng person, he was an earthling.

The reason for the tax cut is definitely not because he sees people's suffering, he just thinks that this can increase cohesion and make his strategy game play more smoothly.

It's basically like people playing a strategy game, clicking on a tax cut button, and then seeing the popularity data go up.

So when he saw those people running over to him, especially when he saw a lot of young people taking the initiative to run to him.

Looking at their young and determined faces, at that moment, Lin Ziran's thoughts were very strange.

There's a feeling of accomplishment from playing the game, but there's also something more complicated about it.

After settling down the young people, Lin Ziran said lightly to Xu Zhongshu beside him: "They just gave up their future like this, why?" ”

Xu Zhongshu beside him pondered for a few seconds: "Since the Hengao War, I have suffered for a long time!" ”

Lin Ziran nodded slightly: "You continue!" ”

Xu Zhongshu said: "In the past few decades, the situation in my Daheng has been getting worse and worse, and there are more and more chaotic wars in the feudal towns. And our Luoguang and Guang counties have been fighting in the past four or five years, the Luoguang War that lasted for three years, the reversal war last year, the invasion of Luohai and Guang'an counties, this year's coalition army sent troops to Li Kun, and then the encirclement and suppression of Feng Haozhong by various armies."

"This war is one war after another, and there is no time to stop!"

"The casualties and various losses caused by the war are not to mention for the time being, the taxes are getting heavier and heavier year by year, my Nanhai Prefecture is the second continent of Daheng, and it has been the land of fish and rice since ancient times, and the people are rich, but now people are difficult to eat!"

"People are tired of this, and they desperately want to live a peaceful life again!"

At this time, Xu Zhongshu said: "And your tax restriction order, my lord, has given them this hope!" ”

Lin Ziran listened to this, in fact, there was still not much fluctuation in his heart, but he could hear from Xu Zhongshu's tone that this person seemed to be very supportive of the tax restriction order.

Xu Zhongshu also continued: "It's not just this tax restriction order, but because this tax restriction order is known to everyone, my lord, you are different from others, they only think about raising taxes and recruiting soldiers, but your lord, you really want to take everyone to live a good life together!" ”

Lin Ziran and Xu Zhongshu's conversation did not last long, and after Xu Zhongshu left, Lin Ziran stood alone in front of the window, looking at the troops training on the playground outside, and muttered: "It seems that what I did before is still not enough!" ”

Xu Zhongshu's words, coupled with the positive public opinion response caused by the tax restriction order, made Lin Ziran have a deeper perception.

Although he still has no sense of identity with this world, and he only looks at Daheng's decades of civil strife from a bystander perspective, at most he is amazed, but he will not have the same unforgettable feelings about the decades of civil strife as the real Daheng people.

But he knew what he should do at this time!

Soon, he set up a propaganda office in the county guard's office, and at the same time sent people to buy all the small newspapers in Lianguan County, based on these small newspapers, and merged them into Aoyama Newspaper to publish Aoyama Weekly.

Newspapers, Daheng has long existed, and in the past few decades, with the development of industry, and because of the chaos of the situation, it has developed more rapidly.

Lin Ziran didn't pay much attention to this thing before, but now he feels that training in military warfare is necessary, but the prestige of the people is also very important.

Since it has been decided to engage in these things, then public opinion must be grasped in their hands, and other feudal towns may stop at asking a few pens to boast about themselves, but Lin Ziran.

He bought all the newspapers under his rule and merged them into Aoyama Weekly!

Under the rule of Twenty-two Towns, it is enough to have the voice of Lin Ziran alone, and there is no need for anything else.

And after controlling the channels of public opinion, how to deal with this public opinion is still a troublesome matter.

Luo Mazi, who was in charge at this time, was stubborn.

For this reason, Lin Ziran gave Luo Mazi a few hints.

"It is necessary to build a sense of superiority and happiness among the people."

"And the best way to build a sense of superiority and happiness among people is through comparison!"

"You can go back and have people compile a report on the recent economic situation in Pingdan County, next door, coal cannot be sold, grain production is under-produced, and people on the street are not having enough to eat."

"Then you come back to our side and say that after the tax cut, everyone on our side will be able to eat."

"In addition, the groups targeted by public opinion propaganda are not only ordinary people, but also the business community, the military and political groups."

"For example, you can make a report, well, let's say that a century-old store in Luohai County in the south has gone bankrupt due to other factors such as excessive tax burden, and the owner's beautiful daughter has been forced to go to the green building to place an order."

Hearing this, Luo Mazi's eyes lit up: "Really? That building? ”

Lin Ziran resisted the urge to slap him directly: "Lao Tzu will give you an example."

Luo Mazi also knew that he had said the wrong thing at this time, so he closed his mouth very obediently.

Lin Ziran took a deep breath and continued: "Everything is afraid of comparison, so this kind of thing, you have to make another comparative report later, saying that we have a small workshop in Lianguan County, thanks to preferential tax policies, and made a good 100 million a year, no, this 100 million is too exaggerated, when the time comes, you can just let people write a hundred and eighty thousand, the number is too exaggerated and no one believes it." “

"You can also do a veterans topic or something, saying that the streets of other states and counties are full of beggars, and these beggars are all wearing military merit medals, they have made meritorious contributions to the feudal towns and shed blood, but they were ruthlessly abandoned after being disabled, and they can't even get a pension."

"However, what about Lianguan County, you said that I just went to the homes of the casualties a few days ago and personally gave pensions to the casualties or their families, and at the same time issued a policy that soldiers who retired due to injuries can be given priority to enter the Tsingshan Petroleum Company and some other enterprises, etc., and can also be exempted from part of the land tax when they go home to farm, and so on."

"In short, it is to let people, especially those on our side, know that our policies are superior to other places, and that our people live happier than people in other places!"

"The sense of superiority and happiness are all compared, and people who eat two meals a day are happier than those who eat one meal a day!"

"It doesn't matter what you eat for two meals a day, how many grains of rice are in it, and whether you can eat enough or not. It's important to let people know that they can eat two meals while people elsewhere can only eat one. ”

"Do you understand these?"

But Luo Mazi was stubborn, and after holding it for a while, Luo Mazi said: "But the pensions of the soldiers on our side have always been paid in full, and many disabled and retired soldiers have also entered the Qingshan Petroleum Company to work, and our taxes are indeed very low now, and now everyone pays enough to eat." ”

"After all, although our side is a little barren, it is barely a grain-producing area, and a slight reduction in taxes is enough for everyone to eat!"

Hearing Luo Mazi's words, Lin Ziran didn't react at once!

Because what Luo Mazi said is the truth, it seems that there is really no need to deceive, just report it truthfully!

Alas, empiricism kills!

But!

You can't lose face!

So Lin Ziran said: "It's all said, that's an example, do you understand the example!" ”

"If you don't hurry up, you will delay the big event, and the official will not spare you!"
