Transmigrated as the Crown Prince

After going around in a circle, Yannick left the grocery store, walked a little further, and stopped in front of the window of a bookstore.

There were all kinds of new books hanging in the window, many of them "written" by him. After watching for a while, Yannick walked into the bookstore. The shopkeeper who was sorting books in front of the bookshelf saw a few burly men with "unkind expressions" walking in. He looked a little flustered and asked nervously. "How many of you are buying books?"

The shop owner naturally spoke Dutch, but Yannick did not understand Dutch. Reinhard on the side asked according to the instructions just now. "Boss, what is the best-selling book here?"

The boss walked to the bookshelf near the door and pointed to the row of books on it. "The books here are all selling well, and the best-selling ones are these comics." Yannick saw "Tom and Jerry", "Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck" on the bookshelf, " Superman" and other various comic books, all of which are produced by the comic studio under the name of the German company "Zeus".

A few years ago, Yannick asked Goebbels to gather a group of cartoonists and set up a cartoon studio, plagiarizing all the famous American cartoons from the original time and space.

I casually pulled out a copy of "Tom and Jerry" and looked at the price; 3 marks.

The current minimum wage for German workers is 200 Reichsmarks per month. The wages for workers in these occupied areas are slightly lower; converted into the purchasing power of future generations, it is almost equivalent to earning a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan to buy a comic book for 20 yuan.

Is it expensive?

Some people may find it expensive, while others may find it acceptable.

Yannick silently put the book back on the shelf, walked out of the bookstore, and gave instructions to Reinhard. "Make a note for me and tell Goebbels when I get back that the price of these comic books will be reduced by 50%. It doesn't matter if there is no profit. I want every child in the occupied territories to be able to afford these comic books."

"As ordered." Seeing a trace of doubt flash across Reinhard's face, Yannick asked casually. "Reinhard, have you ever heard of 'The best is like water'?"

"No, Your Highness." Reinhard shook his head blankly.

The best is like water, which comes from Chapter 8 of Laozi's "Tao Te Ching": The best is like water. Water is good for all things and does not compete with it. It is disliked by everyone, so it is close to the Tao. Live in a good place, have a good heart, be kind and benevolent, speak good words and have good faith, govern well, do good things and be able to do good things at the right time. The husband does not fight, so there is no need for you. Lao Tzu, who lived in more than 500 AD, recognized the supreme goodness of water.

"No one in the world is softer than water, and no one who attacks the strong can win." Also from Chapter 78 of the Tao Te Ching, the idiom that a drop of water penetrates a stone also tells the story of water's softness on the outside but hardness on the inside, and its toughness. Water is both soft and strong.

In ancient times, Wu Zixu of the state of Wu said when Wu and Yue were conquering each other, the terrain of the state of Yue is the same as ours. It is a water town. If we attack the state of Yue, we can take their boats and eat their food, but attacking the state of Qi will be harmless. beneficial.

This reflects a problem, that is, how to rule after occupation.

As the saying goes, the best is like water. When it comes to governance, one must not be eager for quick success; one must be like water, using culture to assimilate him and become one with him.

Or it can be said like this: What can really invade a country is not the army, but the culture; the rule of the Holy Age is smooth and smooth.

Yannick smiled. "Let me tell you this, what the rulers of the past dynasties really worried about was not how to capture cities and territories, but how to govern a certain place after occupying it, to govern the land they occupied by force. Should they continue to use force? Of course not, Ming Dynasty There is a saying that "you cannot conquer the world immediately, but you cannot rule the world immediately." If you continue to use force, it is likely to evolve into tyranny, and the people will naturally use force to resist. If you want to truly occupy a country, you must start from the cultural perspective. To destroy and assimilate it in terms of identity, new universal values ​​must be instilled in teenagers.”

Reinhard lowered his head slightly and said respectfully. "Your Highness is wise."

Yannick shook his head disapprovingly and asked. "How's work going at GSP?"

"Very well, Your Highness."

Yannick said extremely seriously. "We have taken the first step towards a thousand-year-old foundation. I don't want to see some rat shit or fools make our efforts fall short. Especially those greedy businessmen, they can do anything for profit; we must keep an eye on it. They. If they really do something outrageous, I will be happy to send his whole family to a concentration camp and continue to serve the empire." The greed of businessmen is innate and has no limit; if not restrained, they can destroy the country. All sold.

"As you command, Your Highness!"

I continued walking forward and finally came to KFC at the corner. I saw a skinny little girl standing next to the door of KFC, selling newspapers. Her immature face was blown red by the cold wind.

"Sir, buy a newspaper!" Seeing Yannick coming over, the little girl reached out to him and handed him a newspaper. The big eyes are so clear and pure, there is no distracting thought in the innocent eyes, and they are as bright as the cold stars in the dark night; Yannick fell in love with this innocence and clarity at the first sight.

Yannick pointed to the door of KFC. "Little sister, it's such a cold day, why don't you go in and stay?"

The little girl blinked her big clear eyes, with a trace of confusion and confusion on her face. Yannick guessed that she couldn't understand his German. The German she spoke just now was not very good. It could be said that it was jerky. . Although he didn't understand Dutch, she should understand English. Then he repeated it in English.

Now the little girl understood, rubbed her clothes a little embarrassedly, and replied in English as well. "I'm afraid of disturbing others."

"..." Looking at her patched coat, Yannick nodded thoughtfully. "Let's go, brother, I'll treat you to something delicious."

"!!" The little girl subconsciously took a step back, her eyes becoming a little cautious.

Yannick smiled. "Don't worry, brother is not a bad person."

The little girl frowned, with a look of disbelief. "But good people don't wear fake beards."

"..." Yannick touched his fake beard and glanced at Reinhard who looked a little embarrassed. "Well, because everything happens for a reason, I'm curious how you figured it out?"

The little girl said timidly. "I've seen all kinds of fake beards when I was studying ballet in the theater, and yours looks very similar to the ones I've seen."

"So that's it." Yannick looked suddenly enlightened. "But I'm not a bad person, and I know you."

The little girl opened her mouth in surprise. "You know me?"

Yannick nodded firmly. "Your name is Ada Vanzinstra, but that's not your real name. Your real name is Audrey Kathleen Ralston, right?"
