Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned, "Ouyang Lun, your idea is good, but asking the people to deal with the Confucian lineage is too much. Is this really okay?"

The common people took it upon themselves to deal with the Confucian lineage. Even Zhu Yuanzhang never dreamed of this situation. After all, this was too unrealistic.

You know, the current situation is that the people support the Confucian lineage and confront the imperial court.

Let the government give the order directly?
The people won't listen at all now.

Let officials go door-to-door to publicize?
This is even more impossible. The Ming Dynasty has a population of tens of millions, and there are only so many officials plus police officers at all levels. It is impossible to go from house to house to propagandize.

"Your Majesty, Prince Consort Ouyang's idea is too ideal. Under the influence of Confucianism, it is simply nonsense to let the people understand the truth! Letting the government carry out propaganda and supervision will only make the people resent the court even more."

"I still suggest that we start with the Confucian lineage immediately. The short-term pain is worse than the long-term pain, and the problem can be solved once and for all."

Li Shanchang spoke again.

As Li Shanchang finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang and other ministers fell silent.

At this moment, they don't think they can do what Ouyang Lun said.

But Ouyang Lun smiled and said, "Master Li, don't worry! I never said that I would let the government do this!"

"No need for government? Do you still need to mobilize the army? Don't you think the Ming Dynasty is not chaotic enough?!" Li Shanchang asked in a deep voice.

Ouyang Lun rolled his eyes at Li Shanchang and was too lazy to talk to him. He turned directly to the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, can you let Mr. Li calm down for a while? My son-in-law said something and he interrupted. My son-in-law couldn't fully express his thoughts. "

"Ouyang Lun, you have a guilty conscience!" Li Shanchang said angrily.

"Li Shanchang, shut up! It's not too late to wait until Ouyang Lun has finished speaking!" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said.

Forehead.
Being scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang could only retreat aside angrily.

"Ouyang Lun, tell me. If you can't tell me one, two, three, I won't let you off lightly!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Ouyang Lun slowly said: "Your Majesty, there is a ready-made method."

"Since the establishment of major state-owned enterprises, in addition to the three major state-owned enterprises in manufacturing, finance, and construction, there is actually another type of state-owned enterprises - culture."

"Newspapers, dramas, operas, etc. are all included in this category."

"Everyone must be reading Daming Daily now, right?"

After hearing Ouyang Lun's words, all the officials spoke one after another.

"This daily newspaper is very well run! Many of the reports in it are very detailed. It is a complete supplement to the Di Daily. I read every issue." Lu Chang, the Minister of Rites, spoke highly of the daily newspaper.

"That's right. When I have nothing to do, I usually pick up the daily newspaper and make a cup of tea. I drink and read at the same time. I don't miss an issue." Song Lian, the Minister of Personnel, also nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang was confused and said: "Ouyang Lun, do you want to use the influence of the newspaper to solve this problem?"

"Your Majesty, this won't work at all. Not to mention that newspapers are simply not something ordinary people can afford. Even if they can afford them, can they understand them?" Li Shanchang seemed to have caught a big flaw in Ouyang Lun and hurriedly questioned.

Li Shanchang's questioning was also a problem for Zhu Yuanzhang and other officials.

"No, Mr. Li, can you please listen to what I have to say? I haven't even finished what I said, so you're going to draw a conclusion for me. Why? Are you a bug in my stomach?!" Ouyang Lun replied directly.

"Well" Li Shanchang was a little embarrassed. He knew very well that he was anxious, but he didn't believe that Ouyang Lun could let all the people see through the true face of the Confucian lineage.

"Huh, what I'm telling you is the truth. Apart from that, you have no other option! You're just stalling for time!"

Ouyang Lun rolled his eyes at Li Shanchang again, "I think you are the one delaying time!"

"Since you are so confident, how about we make a bet?"

"A bet?" Li Shanchang was stunned for a moment, then asked: "What bet?"

"Didn't you say that my method can't solve the problem? Then let's bet that the method I proposed can solve this problem! If it can be solved, then I win. If it can't be solved, then you win. The loser has to go to the streets of Beijing. How about running naked and shouting that I was wrong?"

Ouyang Lun revealed his bet agreement.

"Um" Li Shan has black lines all over his face.

"What? Mr. Li doesn't dare now? If you don't dare anymore, then shut up and listen to me!" Ouyang Lun said mercilessly.

"Bet!" Li Shanchang gritted his teeth and nodded bravely, "Who is afraid of whom?"

"Okay! Mr. Li, please be happy!" Ouyang Lun smiled and nodded, "Please ask your Majesty and all your colleagues to bear witness to this matter!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "You have to bet that I won't stop you, but you two are both first-class officials of the Ming Dynasty. Running naked on the street, how unbecoming it is, whether it is Ouyang Lun or Li Shanchang, will ultimately lose the face of the court, and the common people in the future How to treat us?"

"So instead of running naked, wear loose clothes and run barefoot on the street!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of his minister running naked on the streets of the capital, he felt dizzy. He shook his head repeatedly and said that he could not afford to lose that person.

"It's not bad to run barefoot, so let's settle it."

"Master Li, do you have any other opinions?"

Ouyang Lun looked at Li Shanchang and asked.

"No! Just say it quickly!" Li Shanchang snorted.

The corner of Ouyang Lun's mouth raised slightly, and then he said: "The newspaper industry has also developed in the Ming Dynasty for a period of time. Now the Ming Dynasty not only has daily newspapers, but also provincial newspapers in each province, and each state has its own newspapers, even in one county. As for local tabloids, most people do not have the money to buy newspapers or read newspapers independently, but they like to go to teahouses, taverns and other listening rooms to listen to others and read newspapers. Therefore, newspapers are already a force that cannot be underestimated in controlling public opinion. the power of."

"Of course, if you simply rely on newspapers to change public opinion, it is indeed unlikely."

"My son-in-law also has a new method, which is songs, operas, operas and other cultural communication methods. Cultural state-owned enterprises not only have newspapers, but also these. A song, a opera, or an opera often has extremely With great communication capabilities, we can completely shape the Confucian lineage into villains!”

"Through cultural communication and tours across the country, if this task is implemented, the reputation of Confucianism will change 180 degrees in less than half a month!" Ouyang Lun said confidently.

Perhaps it is easy for others to listen to him, but only Ouyang Lun himself knows that in the past two years, he has never given up on the layout of culture and entertainment, and now he just uses the "Confucian lineage" to test it. Of course, he cannot All trump cards were revealed to avoid scaring Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Ouyang Lun finished speaking, all the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony looked at Ouyang Lun, with shock, doubt, and of course confusion in their eyes.

To be honest, with so many people present, no one could fully understand what Ouyang Lun said.

Aren't newspapers just a tool for reading news? Will it have such great ability?

What other songs, operas, etc., which are used for entertainment, can also be used to control public opinion?
But when I saw Ouyang Lun speaking so confidently, I felt a little confused. Looking back on Ouyang Lun's past record, I suddenly believed that Ouyang Lun might really be able to do it. After all, compared to Ouyang Lun, he would fail. In other words, the more likely he is to continue to succeed!

This time, even Li Shanchang stopped objecting and questioning, and chose to keep his mouth shut.

"Ouyang Lun, are you really sure?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked extremely solemnly.

"Of course I'm not 100% sure, but I'm still 98% sure."

Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

"Ninety-eight percent" Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth twitched, "You are really humble!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I don't have many merits, but I still have this beautiful virtue of humility." Ouyang Lun said with a smile.

You're so rude!

Zhu Yuanzhang murmured in his heart, "If you tell me more specifically, if there is no problem with the plan, then we will do what you said."

"My son-in-law accepted the decree." Ouyang Lun arched his hands and then said: "Actually, my son-in-law has just said that the people are now being deceived or deceived by people of the Confucian lineage. To put it bluntly, this is no different from cheating. If you want to successfully defraud, it is nothing more than fabricating, fearing, and urging. The four coercions can also be said to be bundled with interests!”

"The first edition means deception. It makes up many facts that do not exist. For example, the imperial court ruthlessly suppressed Confucianism. Those great Confucians who were punished were all loyal and righteous. We ordinary people have a natural sense of belonging to the imperial court's persecution of loyal people. You Tell him half-truly and half-falsely, and he will believe it immediately. As long as they start to trust and sympathize with Confucianism, this trick will be effective. "

"The next step is the second fear. Just lying and cheating can't help Confucianism rely on the power of the people. Therefore, people in the Confucian lineage use men in black to beat people on the streets, spread rumors, assassinate, etc. to create panic and make the people think that this is It was caused by the inaction of the court, the treacherous officials, and the stupidity of the emperor. If they did not support Confucianism, they would be harmed."

"By doing the above two steps, the Confucian lineage will basically have the people in its hands."

At this point, Ouyang Lun stopped.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang, Lu Chang and others who listened with gusto become somewhat reluctant.

"Consort Ouyang, why did you stop? You should continue talking!"

"Isn't there four steps in Confucian methods? Why only two steps? Are there third and fourth steps?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also urged: "Ouyang Lun, don't make trouble, finish what you said quickly, half of what you heard is gone, this makes me very uncomfortable!"

"Your Majesty, I have talked too much today, can you give me a cup of tea? My throat is about to smoke!" Ouyang Lun said.

"Tea? Hurry up and make a cup of tea for Ouyang Lun!" Zhu Yuanzhang directly ordered to make tea for Ouyang Lun in order to listen to the whole analysis.

Soon Wang Zhong brought a cup of tea, "Prince-in-law, please have some tea!"

Ouyang Lun nodded, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "The tea is just so-so, it's time to change."

Forehead.
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless for a while, but in order to hear the second half, he could only endure it.

"The third step is to urge. Urging is also very simple. That is to use various words to make the people think that danger is approaching and they must act immediately. But before, they have already identified with the lineage of Confucianism, so as long as the words are clear If it is appropriate, then they will be a huge foundation for supporting the Confucian lineage. This is the operation of the Confucian lineage during this period! It is obvious how they succeeded!"

"What a pity! We, the people of Ming Dynasty, have not downloaded the anti-explosion app. This is very important!"

"What is an anti-explosion app?" an official asked in confusion.

"Ahem! It's a common people's anti-fraud manual compiled by me. I plan to give a copy to every Ming citizen later." Ouyang Lun explained quickly.

"It turns out that app means book! It's quite innovative." The official suddenly realized.

"If you understand it this way, I can't say you are wrong." Ouyang Lun continued: "Of course this is not the point. At present, Confucianism has only reached the third step. We must hurry up before they complete the fourth step. Stop it, because once they complete the binding of interests, even if we expose the lies of the Confucian line, the people will no longer believe us, but will follow the Confucian line into darkness. By then, I am afraid that blood will really be needed. It has become a river.”

"Next, we will first mobilize newspapers of all sizes to report more news about the suspension of work and classes at construction sites, factories, and schools due to protests from the Confucian community. We will also ask some "well-known" people to analyze and hint at all this. It is all related to the actions of the Confucian school, and if the Confucian school is allowed to continue to frustrate, the interests of the general public will be lost! "

"Of course, the government must allocate some activity funds to newspapers and periodicals. After all, once the money is in place, everyone will be more active in doing things. They must also allow newspapers and periodicals from all over the country to support and fund storytellers and award judges. The key word is - throw money!"

"In addition, some literary artists are encouraged to create various songs, nursery rhymes, dramas, operas, etc. The content must be biased toward the court, not too exaggerated, must be realistic, and then promote it!"

“This is a cognitive battle!!”

"In this way, the people will soon understand that they have been deceived by people of the Confucian lineage! Trust in the Confucian lineage will collapse. The most important point is that what the Confucian lineage is currently doing is indeed To harm them, at this time, and with the acquiescence of the imperial court, how could the common people not attack the Confucian lineage!"

"If the people take action, people from the Confucian school can only pray that they don't die too miserably!"

After saying that, Ouyang Lun picked up the tea cup again and started drinking tea beautifully.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang, Lu Chang and others were caught up in what Ouyang Lun had just said, analyzing every word of Ouyang Lun's words word for word in their minds.

Wonderful!

That's great!
This is simply the highest state of subduing someone without fighting!
But soon everyone looked at Ouyang Lun with strange eyes.

evildoer!

This guy Ouyang Lun is simply a monster.

He can think of such a method, but there is some trick that he can't think of.
