Fantasia of the Sky

Chapter 1519 Murang's Viewpoint 4
Huanmeng felt her forehead was a little wet.

Yes, this is not simply lowering the price, she already knew it; but after Mulan's explanation, she understood the seriousness of the situation even more.

"Now, the spotter on the mast is going to say to the people in the boat that there's 'may' be a storm ahead, and we should slow down and get back on the normal course. So, what will the people in charge of rowing think?"

"They're going to worry, they're going to worry that the boats around them are going to get ahead of them and send them under fire with gunfire."

"Observers told them that the captains of the two ships had reached some sort of 'consensus' that whenever one slowed down, the other slowed down as well."

"But as for what the so-called 'consensus' specifically involves, it's quite complicated—it's so complicated that ordinary crew members can't understand it at all. Perhaps after some demonstrations, this 'consensus' is considered feasible and well-founded , but no one can understand the process, it’s the same as nothing.”

"So, if you want to lower the price of salt coal rashly, it will cause great panic and protests."

"It's not that I don't know the benefits and feasibility of lowering the price of salt coal, but I do know the negative impact it will bring."

There was helplessness in Murang's eyes—as the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, he thought more about lowering the price of salt coal than his fantasy; but because he thought so much and had to worry too much, he couldn't make a decision .

He is much more sensible than he imagined... Wait, this seems to be the basic quality of a minister of internal affairs, right?It seems that I have underestimated others too much.

"If you want to lower the price of salt coal, you need the help of a decisive force."

"This power does not only apply to the Lang faction, nor does it only apply to officials."

"It's the whole country that needs to be affected."

"Up to the king, down to the people."

"It's not enough for everyone to believe in it, but those who believe in it need to be able to withstand the power of opposition."

"I've been thinking about where this power could come from."

"The Wave faction and the Chao faction have always been competing with each other at roughly the same level. Although the nobles have different powers, they have always been intriguing."

"There is no force that can unify the people, officials, and nobles. Even if the king, some officials, and some nobles think so, they can't do it."

"But, I believe you can."

"You have great prestige, magical magic, and most importantly, a kind heart."

"Maybe you are not good at tactics, but I think I can tell you what I think is the right direction."

"That is, to convince the common people that lowering the price of salt coal is feasible."

...to convince the people?Why the common people?Aren't the kings, officials and nobles in power?

"If the people believe it, then the opinions of some officials who are vacillating will also change."

"It's like lighting a log in a firewood pile."

"Opinions go from here to there like flames, until a sufficient majority is convinced."

The voices of the people will be conveyed to the ears of officials; at the same time, their opinions will also be conveyed to the nobles who manage the area.People will also pass opinions to each other, and it is only a matter of time before it spreads throughout the country; according to the king, relevant officials have already prepared the applicable decree after reducing the price of salt coal...

"However, the most critical and difficult thing is to ignite it."
