The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

After Gu Wangshu said this, the two of them suddenly felt enlightened.

Gu Chengfeng was familiar with the art of war and immediately revealed his plan to conceal the truth.

"If you are prepared for the week, you will be careless, if you are familiar with it, you will not doubt it. Yin is within Yang, not the opposite of Yang."

Gu Wangshu nodded: "Yes."

This is like lying.

If what you say is completely false, it will be easily exposed.

But if the lie is mixed with truth, half truth and half false, half hidden and half obvious, then it will be difficult to distinguish the truth from the lie.

"If you want to implement a plan to hide the truth, the first condition is to create an illusion that will not arouse Concubine Wen's suspicion. This illusion must be consistent with common sense and upright, so that she will not be suspicious and can confuse the audience."

"What is our real purpose?" Gu Wangshu asked.

"Using down to make winter clothes?" Helianjue replied immediately.

"Then how do we confuse things with a similar thing?"

Gu Chengfeng immediately thought of something.

"hunting!"

"Send enough people to hunt. In this way, Concubine Wen will think that we are sending fox furs to the border. She knows very well that we cannot collect [-] fox furs in a short time, so she will not stop it. They will laugh at us secretly."

Helian Jue thought about it and still felt it was inappropriate.

"Even if we send people to hunt, how can we ensure that the process of making down winter coats will not be discovered by Concubine Wen's eyes?"

Gu Wangshu cast approving glances at Helian Jue.

"This is a good question, and it is also the key to secretly infiltrating Chen Cang."

"No matter what His Highness the Crown Prince does, Concubine Wen will be able to get information from her informants."

"To be precise, every move of the imperial court is under the surveillance of Concubine Wen."

"What should we do in this situation?"

what to do?They are anxious precisely because they don’t know what to do.

"You have a way." Helianjue concluded from Gu Wangshu's calm expression.

Gu Wangshu did not answer, but walked to the desk, picked up the brush and wrote four words on the paper.

Helian Jue and Gu Chengfeng followed her to the table.

I saw that the four characters were: scholar, farmer, worker, and merchant.

What does it mean?The two of them couldn't understand.

Gu Wangshu drew a circle on the word "Shi".

"Since the nobles are under the surveillance of Concubine Wen and their every move is restricted, then we can escape from this circle. Once our plan is not carried out among the nobles, will Concubine Wen still know about it? No matter how capable she is, Can the eyeliner spread to areas beyond her reach?"

After saying this, the pen tip moved to "agriculture, industry and commerce".

"What do you mean..." Helianjue seemed to understand something, but there was a fog in front of him, making it difficult for him to see clearly.

Gu Wangshu reminded:

“Where does the duck and goose down we want to get come from?”

"Of course it's ducks and geese, and these two poultry belong to the common people, which is equivalent to farmers." Gu Chengfeng responded very quickly.

Gu Wangshu continued:

"With the down, what's next?"

This time it was Helianjue’s turn.

“The next step is to find a seamstress to sew it into a winter coat.”

Gu Wangshu circled the words "farmer" and "worker" again.

“How do we connect farmers and workers?”

"In other words, for whom are the workers used, and who can collect large numbers of ducks and geese from farmers?"

If you don’t understand even now that you’re talking about it, you’d be stupid.

The answer is already on the horizon.

Gu Wangshu said so much just to elicit the word "business".

The fog cleared, and Helianjue finally understood Gu Wangshu's intention.

He was a prince and belonged to the gentry clan. Gu Wangshu wanted him to delegate power to "Shang".

The "gentlemen" did not participate in the task of making winter clothes. In this case, all Concubine Wen could see was the crazy hunting behavior of the nobles.

Winter clothes are related to the life and death of border officers. They are originally a political issue. Once the task of making winter clothes is handed over to businessmen, it changes from a political struggle to a commercial activity.

This......

Gu Chengfeng was stunned.

Xiao Shu just applied the art of war to Yu Quan's restaurant this morning, and now he once again saw what "collusion between government and businessmen" means.

Is this how the art of war works?They were all used to perfection by Gu Wangshu.

Helianjue looked at Gu Wangshu blankly.

As a prince, he has seen all kinds of people.

The most indispensable thing in the court is smart people.

But he had never seen a person as quick-thinking and unrivaled in resourcefulness as Gu Wangshu.

Helian Jue could not describe the shock in his heart.

"You...are you so sure that Concubine Wen won't care about the merchant's actions?"

"I'm pretty sure."

Scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants, merchants were the lowest and the most disdainful of the powerful.

Concubine Wen will not turn her attention from powerful people to businessmen for no reason.

There is also a very important psychological reason.

Psychology tells us that people’s perception, understanding, analysis, reasoning, and judgment of things are all based on past experience and existing knowledge, and are closely related to memory, emotions, habits, etc.

The strategies that Concubine Wen came up with and the methods she used did not break away from the circle of power.

Her thinking has been solidified and it is difficult to escape from the circle of power, so she will not actively pay attention to business changes.

This is just like a rich person can never imagine how difficult it is for a poor person to make money, because she has not experienced it.

Helianjue put together what Gu Wangshu said and finally understood what Gu Wangshu meant by "building the plank road openly and secretly in Chencang".

Ming Xiu Plank Road: The nobles hunted and obtained fox fur.

In fact, this was a smoke bomb, deliberately released to confuse Concubine Wen and divert her attention to the matter of "hunting and obtaining fox fur".

Secret Chencang: Merchants obtain down from the hands of the people, and then give it to tailors to make. After the production is completed, the merchants lead the team to the border. This is the essence.

Gu Wangshu's plan not only used the art of war and psychology, but also used spatial differences.

This difference in space refers to the fact that Concubine Wen is in the palace. No matter how long her hands are, it is difficult for her to reach outside the palace. Even if she reaches outside the palace, she cannot reach the merchants. She does not bother to spend her precious energy on it. Put it on a businessman who smells like copper.

Gu Wangshu's confidence made her whole body look sparkling.

Helianjue was glad that he met Gu Wangshu.

He believed that with her unparalleled wisdom, she would be able to help him reach that position.

With her thorough thinking, she will definitely minimize the loss.

He should probably be grateful that he caught her eye.

Helianjue looked at Gu Wangshu in fascination, with a slight smile on his face unconsciously.

But soon, Gu Chengfeng's words brought him back to his senses.

"Xiao Shu, how can you ensure that merchants can be used by us?"

Gu Wangshu pointed to his heart and said:

"Everything in the world is a matter of people, and everything is a matter of the heart."

"Whatever the businessman needs most, we will promise him whatever he needs. Are we still afraid that they will not be used by us?"

"What do businessmen need?" Helian Jue and Gu Chengfeng asked at the same time.

Gu Wangshu picked up the pen again and wrote two words.

【dignity! 】

Obviously they are just trying to make their lives better, they are the ones who pay the most taxes, and they provide opportunities for "farmers" and "workers" to make money, but they are at the bottom of society and are labeled The name of "treacherous".

What they lack is not money, but respect.

Even if you give them a little respect, they will repay you with great sincerity.

As long as I grasp the key word "dignity", it is easy to make businessmen do their best for me.

Helianjue thought silently for a while, then picked up the pen and wrote six big characters next to Gu Wangshu's words.
