To study politics, watching Shakespeare's historical drama is much more reliable than reading political books, such as the trick of not spending a penny to win the hearts and minds of the people, in the historical drama "Caesar", after Caesar was assassinated,
Brutus's rhetoric is very inflammatory:
It's not that I don't love Caesar, it's that I love Rome even more, and you'd rather let Caesar live in the world and everyone die as slaves, or let Caesar die, and everyone live as free people? (This is well-known)
He went on to say: I have killed my best friend for the benefit of Rome, and if my country needs my death, then at any time I can kill myself with a knife
Then there is the melon-eating masses cheering, killing well, killing seconds, killing the dictator croaking.
But the real statesman Antony, with a little scheming, won the support of the people, saying that he had a copy of Caesar's will, and that he gave seventy-five drachmas to each Roman citizen.
The townspeople immediately rejoiced, and the great Caesar, Antony went on, said that Caesar had also given all his streets on this side of the Tiber, his private gardens, to the Citizens of Rome for free walking.
The situation was reversed in an instant, and this game is not uncommon in various fields, such as the demolition of the wall in Beijing for all owners to walk freely, and it has also been supported by the majority of people in affordable housing, the people do not want empty private property is sacred and inviolable slogan, the people as long as they are free to go for a walk in the garden.
The same is true of various industrial policies, printing a hot money out, saying that it is for the welfare of the people, the people will also support, engage in industrial policy, but also get the support of the people, people in various industrial chains also take advantage of the opportunity to get rich, the so-called outlet, that is, after Antony's policy came, the more he moved away from the Roman Forum, the more quickly he could enter Caesar's house to get things.
Do you think this trick is high?
