I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 383
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

The weather is already cold, but today's waterside of the Zhang River and the city of Ye are destined to be an uneasy day.

Last month, Liu Jian drafted a list of memorials, which included the rebellion of the Zhang family in Weijun, the Sun family, and other prominent families in Jizhou into a list of memorials, and reported it to the imperial court for approval according to the law.

As the prime minister, Dong Zhuo naturally understood what Liu Jian meant.

Although he didn't really want to help Liu Jian directly, Dong Zhuo also understood that this was Liu Jian's strategy to establish his reputation in Hebei with this matter, and then push the boat forward to implement the New Deal. Do him this favor.

Who will align the interests of both parties in this matter?

Therefore, the imperial court gave the most severe and clear reply to the rebellion incident reported by Liu Jian.

With the imperial court's instruction, the next thing will be done easily.

Liu Jian, who came to this world from later generations, understands very well that as a superior, in addition to handling government affairs, developing the military, people's livelihood, technology and other aspects, there is one more thing that is very important to the superior.

That is to control the wind direction of public opinion no matter what.

Public opinion is a very terrible weapon. No matter how good Liu Jian does in people's livelihood technology and other aspects, if he cannot control public opinion, then no matter how many good things he has done for this country and this nation, he may not be able to get what he deserves. evaluation of.

Because the people at the bottom don't know what Liu Jian did from the perspective of the superiors, especially the bottom people in this era.

In ancient times, the transmission of information was inherently slow, and knowledge was monopolized by high-ranking families, so almost all the power of public opinion was held in the hands of high-ranking gentry.

The gentry use their special status to control the direction of public opinion, which has almost become an iron law.

However, due to the limited technical means of control, the means of controlling public opinion by the high-level gentry in this era are not very clever. Of course, it is mainly due to their knowledge and productivity.

These days, one of the most powerful delivery methods is to arrange "nursery rhymes" and "songs".

But as a later generation, Liu Jian's methods in this area are much more advanced than those of this era.

"Bad stuff" like nursery rhymes can produce such a large amount of lethality in public opinion in this era, so Liu Jian is confident that he can completely control the direction of public opinion from the perspective of the government. At least he wants to surpass the gentry in this state in this matter.

The Wanmin Banner incident in Dunqiu was actually Liu Jian behind it.

If you think about it carefully, more than a hundred countrymen jointly presented the Wanmin Banner to Liu Jian. Such a large amount of money must be operated by "capital" behind it.

And this capital is precisely the animal husbandry office led by Liu Jian!
Since last year, Liu Jian has begun to establish new regulations in Jizhou and come up with many new things.

First of all, it is required that the "advanced model worker" system be selected every month with the gathering as the unit.

This system is not difficult for the townships to complete!

And the candidates for this model worker are those farmers.

Every month, one person must be selected at each gathering to become the model worker of the month, and the gathering will be recognized and rewarded in public.

In fact, this matter seems to have nothing to do with public opinion on the surface, but the key point is that the model worker selected every month must speak in public, and his speech must be filed and recorded, and counted in the county office's annual quota. middle.

Therefore, this matter has received much attention in various county offices.

And once it comes to "speaking", then this matter is somewhat interesting.

You said that a model worker gathered in a certain county in such and such a certain county took the stage to speak in public today. What should he say?

It's very simple, there are routines.

You have to remember bitterness and sweetness first, right?
As a refugee, I originally wandered in other states and counties, and came to Jizhou. I lived by collecting cow dung along the way, but I was not assigned to the land until after Jizhou. I guessed the peaceful days and no longer had to eat cow dung. You can eat food.

and then?
Then that is to say, the land outside Hebei is like a hell on earth. Not to mention bandits everywhere, the local noble families and local government offices wear a pair of trousers, which harms ordinary Li Shu. Live the life of a human...

In short, what I want to express is that only Hebei is good in the world, and no place other than Hebei is good.

This kind of speech, every gathering in Jizhou, counties and villages, comes once a month.

In addition, Liu Jian also set up a live "Ta Kung Pao."

What is "Ta Kung Pao"?
To put it bluntly, it is the news broadcast.

It's just the simplest version of the news broadcast, and it's broadcast on a half-monthly basis.

Of course, in this era, there is no television or radio, and news broadcasts are only based on village gatherings. Some government officials send loud officials to report the world's major events in the past half month to the gatherings.

This kind of thing did not exist at all in the past, and the actions and policies of the government have absolutely no obligation to disclose to the public.

This is the limitation of people's thinking in this era, but Liu Jian does not follow this path.

Whatever you do, you have to let the people know.

You don't care whether he understands or not, you have to tell him anyway.

Tell him if you don't understand.

Of course, all the publicized news events are edited and edited by the Animal Husbandry Department.

As soon as the person in charge of the news work came to power, he made a report to the people in Juli, what is the increase in the grain in the jurisdiction of Jizhou this year, how much is the newly reclaimed land, and how much is the number of farmers. , How many newborn children in the whole Jizhou have reached.

There is also some news about Liu Jian himself, such as under the wise leadership of General Zuo, how many Wuhuan people have been killed, how many tribes in Xianbei are willing to join, and General Zuo himself paid out of his own pocket to donate to the poor people Li Shu How many kinds of grain...

The most important thing is not to forget to publicize how messed up the states and counties outside Hebei are now.

For example, Yuan Shu himself colluded with more than forty families in Hebei, intending to overthrow the rule of General Zuo.

Yuan Shao forcibly seized a lot of land from the people in Jingzhou, causing resentment and rebellion among the people.

On the other side of Liangzhou, Han Sui began to rebel again, and the court was devastated.

The Xuzhou Yellow Turban was in trouble again, and Tao Qian couldn't control it at all.

Cao Cao stationed in Huainan, intending to send troops to Jiangdong. During this period, for his own self-interest, how many cities were slaughtered and how many people were displaced...

Anyway, Hebei is good.

Apart from Hebei, do you see what kind of chaos is happening in other places now?
In ancient China, the imperial power did not come down to the county. If you want to control the public opinion of the administrative units below the county and control the direction of public opinion, you must use your brains.

In terms of controlling the direction of public opinion and setting the rhythm, Liu Jian's rank in this era is definitely at the level of the king of hundred stars.

……

And this time, killing all the more than forty rebellious clans was an act of massacre, but because Liu Jian had already reported to the court, and at the same time widely spread the notoriety of these people among the people, this massacre was seen by all the people in Hebei. , is an act of justice.

In fact, Liu Jian is indeed a party of justice.

It's just that after justice defeats evil, it doesn't mean that evil must be forgiven, that's all.

Who said that the righteous side can't wipe out the evil's family?
There are more than forty clans, all of which are basically big clans, and nearly ten thousand people were involved in being beheaded.

These more than [-] heads will be distributed to major counties in Jizhou, and they will be beheaded from time to time.

Before being killed, these people were all tied up and paraded in the streets.

And before the parade, there will be officials beating the gong, announcing their crimes to the onlookers and Li Shu!
In the eyes of all the people in Hebei, these people are the culprits who destroy their peaceful life, they are vampires, moths, demons and ghosts who disturb everyone's normal life!
For their own self-interest, they did not hesitate to subvert the regime in Hebei. They wanted to turn Hebei into the ghostly appearance of a wealthy family with stinking wine and meat and frozen bones on the road! !
They want to build their good lives on other people's heads.

They deserved to be killed, they deserved to die a thousand times!

When parading through the streets, countless common people and Li Shu surrounded the streets. They used the stinky mud and dirty soup that they had prepared long ago to desperately splash on the 'devils' who were about to be beheaded.

"Kill them!"

"These thieves are not tolerated!!"

"Confiscate all their land, confiscate it! Tuntian!! Tuntian!"

"Let them spit out what they have plundered over the years!!"

"Make them spit it out!!!"

"Chop them into a pulp."

"..."

On the flag tower not far away, Liu Jian was holding a wine cup full of sake.

He shook his hands gently, squinted his eyes, and looked at the scene on the street not far away.

He watched those prominent families who were about to be beheaded crying in despair.

He looked at the surrounding people, like beasts out of the cage, desperately venting their anger and grievances on those who were about to be killed.

Most of the Li Shu didn't even know the members of these prominent families who were going to be killed, maybe they hadn't even heard their names.

However, at this moment, they still spread all the oppression and grievances they have suffered for many years on these people.

Perhaps, the people oppressing them are still there, and they are not the people in front of them, but they still want to treat these prominent families who are about to be killed as sworn enemies, as if they are looking for a vent.

why?
"Hey, people don't worry about being few, but about being uneven."

Liu Jian drank the wine in the wine jue and said to Jia Xu next to him.

After hearing Liu Jian's words, Jia Xu seemed to be a little touched.

But he didn't speak.

Over the years, bandits and remnants of the Yellow Turbans in various states and counties in the world have become more and more violent. There are many followers, and most of them rely on the four words "Heaven makes up for the average" to attract people's hearts.

But listening to Liu Jianshicai's words, how could the four words "Tian Bu Jun Ping" be a bit dark?
For some reason, Jia Xu suddenly had a terrifying idea in his heart, which was groundless and even absurd.

But this idea is still lingering in Jia Xu's mind.

In the Yellow Turbans, the rumored 'Tianbu Junping' has something to do with General Zuo?
However, Jia Xu quickly discarded the distracting thoughts in his mind.

No, this idea is really too unbelievable.

If this is the case, then General Zuo may really become a heavenly man.

"My lord, the last official has gone downstairs."

Liu Jian didn't look back, he just stood up on the flag tower, looking at the hustle and bustle in the distance.

Afterwards, Liu Jian waved his hand lightly.

Jia Xu bowed and saluted, and went down the flag tower.

Not long after, Yan Liang indeed came to the flag tower with a person in one hand.

He threw a bloody man in front of Liu Jian.

It was this time that one of the thieves who organized more than forty clans to join forces with Yuan Shu, Sun Qi, the father-in-law of the Sun family in Weijun.

Zhang Yi, his good partner, was scared to death by Zhang Fei.

Sun Qi was also tortured by Zhang Fei later, and was almost killed, but fortunately, Liu Jian sent people to stop him.

Liu Jian turned around slowly with the wine jue in his hand, and looked at Sun Qi who was prostrate at his feet.

Sun Qi raised his head covered in blood, looked at the aloof Liu Jian, with an expression of incomparable anger and hatred but incomparable loss on his face.

"Liu Deran! Even if I die, I won't let you go! You thug! Beast! You villain, hypocrite!!"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Liang kicked Sun Qi's mouth, breaking his two front teeth.

Sun Qi screamed in pain and rolled all over the floor.

"Sun Gong, don't shout at the top of your voice like this. Winners and losers, losers are losers, save some dignity for yourself, don't make it look like you can't afford to lose."

Liu Jian didn't even look at Sun Qi on the ground, he pointed to the crowd in the distance.

"In there, there are your relatives, your friends, your elders, your descendants... To be honest, many of them should not die, they are innocent, but there is no way, they should not but have to die, Do you know who is to blame for this?"

Sun Qi clutched his teeth, stared at Liu Jian with fiery eyes, and said, "It's all your fault, you villain!"

"No, remember, the person who killed them was you...and you, who forced me to have bloody hands, you know?"

　There will be more in a while
