He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world.

Although this is simple to say, it is really difficult to do.

Since ancient times, everyone knows the importance of people's hearts.

But the public sentiment of each country and each political system is different.

For example, in Britain, the popular support of many European countries lies in the majority of the elite and gentry class. The popular support of slave society, the popular support of feudal society, and the popular support of farming civilizations such as Longyan are completely different. For example, in Europe, food

Most of it is obtained from farmers, so as long as the farmers and other elites can control the public sentiment, the country will be stable.

But in Longyan, it's different.

In Longyan, among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the status of farmers is relatively high. Therefore, how to win the hearts and minds of farmers is important again.

This is why, throughout global history, all wars and rebellions in European history were led by the elite, and few were led by slaves. There was only one Spartan, but it also failed. But in Chinese civilization, there were more rebellions.

They are farmers, starting from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, to the subsequent peasant uprisings, there are too many to mention. The founding emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all monks.

certainly.

This is too far-fetched, so in Siberia, what kind of public sentiment should be taken more seriously?

Zhai Shiqing's advice to Narisong was these craftsmen and businessmen.

This is actually a very obvious thing.

The reason why a place like Siberia, covered in ice and snow, can have a prosperous area is, to put it bluntly, it is the money and economy brought by these businessmen, which stimulates the economy. If you tell people that farmers in Siberia are important, this is a bit nonsense.

What can you grow in this place?

This is the difference in social structure.

The next day.

That day, Risong listened to Zhai Shiqing's advice and gathered the merchants in the city together. First, he expressed his respect for these merchants, and said that under the rule of the Chukchi people, free trade would continue, that is,

He said that in terms of taxation, businessmen should still be given greater discounts.

These businessmen have been worried about this matter for the past few days. They are afraid that if Kulba has a new owner, the policy will change.

These people are people who have been traveling on the Siberian ice sheet for a long time, and they make a living by doing business here.

If the policy changes, the impact will be huge, and they may unite to rebel.

But today, when they heard about Narisong's policy, these businessmen began to cheer.

Who wouldn’t want such a city lord?

Stable.

When businessmen are stable, the entire Kulba will also be stable, and the vitality of the entire society will rise.

...

Today is another tough battle.

Rumyantsev's army launched another charge against Yanqi.

The same, the Cossack cavalry is still charging in front, and the army is behind. The terrain of the Western Region is originally flat, and there are no castles here, only city walls built in the later period. Fortunately, under the architectural style of Long Yan

, the city wall is very high. But no matter how high it is, it still cannot withstand the endless bombardment of artillery.

More than a year...

After all, this war has already started for more than a year.

More than a year of continuous artillery bombardment has even reduced the entire city wall by several meters. But even so, Longyan still resisted. Tsarist Russia's army is strong, but the Longyan people, and Loulan's side

The steady stream of support is also not vegetarian.

"Hit! Beat me hard. As soon as they come to a hundred steps, beat me!"

The generals nearby, under artillery fire, carried out Zou Sheng's orders in an orderly manner.

Siege machinery, artillery, limbs, wreckage.

There was smoke everywhere and dust filled the sky.

While the city wall was being bombarded, it was being repaired by the people in the city. They had been doing this this year. At first, there were often stray bullets falling into the city, causing casualties to the people. Later, Zou Sheng simply destroyed all the people in the city.

Many people evacuated here. Only some craftsmen who helped the troops were left.

Yanqi is a line of defense.
