The king of Guanshan County is on fire, and the fire is inexplicable. Because he didn't do anything earth-shattering, and failed to benefit the people, and he couldn't lead the army to capture a city, but he was on fire, why fire? Because he beat the prince of Dongxian, and it is said that he was almost killed. How do I know, you ask? Now, have you seen the paper scattered all over the street? It is clearly written, and the people of the county king's mansion dare not accept it, and it is true that there are ten 仈 Jiǔ.

Yes, this is Tang Jin's plan, rumors. Controlling the minds of the general public by walking around rumors, and finally reaching the point of exploiting them. In a sense, it's similar to MLM. Of course, at this stage, what he is spreading cannot be regarded as rumors, at most it can be regarded as adding fuel to the truth. But this is just the beginning, wait until the people completely believe in this matter and form a certain faction, and then gradually escalate to completely discredit Tang Youshan's image in the hearts of the people.

What the? You say the people are useless? Indeed, under normal circumstances, the people will not show their dissatisfaction with those in power, but that is under normal circumstances, and it is a similar situation with Tang Jin here. Let's analyze the thinking of ordinary people, although Tang Jin doesn't know the people of this world very well, but because of the social system and ideology, the people of this world should be similar to the people of the feudal empire in the previous life.

So under what circumstances would the people under feudal rule rebel against the rulers? According to Tang Jin, the common people in the feudal period of China were different from those "philosophers" in the West who talked about freedom all day long and shouted about the emancipation of human nature, and the ancient Chinese people had a very good character, that is, "forbearance".

exacting taxes and miscellaneous taxes, forbearance; corrupt officials and corrupt officials, forbearance; feudal oppression, forbearance; faint king misleads the country, endures; All in all, they can endure anything, and there is almost nothing they can't overcome. But there is only one situation they won't endure, that is, they can't live, when they can't live by all means, they can't bear it, in short, "Lao Tzu's life is going to be gone, what else is there to take care of?" ”

Anyone who summarizes the initial uprisings of all dynasties and dynasties are basically peasants, and the reason can basically be summed up as the four words "can't survive", as for the later period...... That would be purely for profit.

From this point of view, Tang Jin wants to rebel against the people to deal with Tang Youshan, it seems that he ...... Not practically. After all, rumors are false after all, and whether they can survive or not is not what the rumors say, but the people themselves can feel it.

But there is one point that is overlooked here, Tang Jin...... It's not the people, on the contrary, he is the ruler, and in a sense, half of the Eastern Regions is what he says! Want the people of Guanshan County to not survive? It's simple, to put it mildly, as long as you pass the sentence "If you don't hand over Tang Youshan, Tang Jin will lead someone to slaughter the entire Guanshan County", and then make a tacit appearance on your side, you can immediately let Guanshan County

The people and even the officials felt the pressure of dying, and a wonderful forced palace was absolutely indispensable at that time.

"You...... This...... This is also too ......" After listening to Tang Jin's entire plan, Tang Xu was silent for a long time, he didn't know how to evaluate Tang Jin's plan. It doesn't take a single soldier, just throw a few pieces of paper, guide it from time to time, and you're ...... That's it.

Tang Jin glanced at it, smiled helplessly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "You ancient people, where can you understand the power of rumors?" If this thing is to be used well, it is no less powerful than nuclear weapons. ”

"Return to the world!" Just as Tang Jin sighed, Liu Yuqing walked in quickly, saluted respectfully and said: "According to the instructions of the prince two days ago, the villain has been distributing leaflets regularly in the past few days, and it seems that the effect has been seen today." ”

"Oh? So fast? Let's talk about it. Tang Jin was also shocked when he heard this, he thought that it would take a few days, and that Cheng thought it would have an effect now.

"The villain just received the news that the Chamber of Commerce that cooperates with the County King's Mansion, except for the World Dart Bureau, the rest of the shopkeepers came to the door today, and it seems that they want to terminate the cooperation, and the Tianxing Chamber of Commerce, whose main business is concentrated in the Southern Regions, directly threw the liquidated damages on the face of the County King, leaving no room for negotiation." Liu Yuqing avoided the complicated and said simply.

Tang Jin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face. The county king's mansion offended itself, and now there are still people spreading relevant information everywhere, and the county king's mansion not only does not stop it, but also does not even have the courage to pack up the leaflets, which proves the authenticity of the matter, and at the same time vaguely shows that there must be its own participation behind this matter, at least with its own consent.

In this case, with the brains of the shopkeepers of the three major chambers of commerce, it is not difficult to see that he is planning to rectify Tang Youshan, and if he cooperates with the other party again, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be affected, so they have terminated the contract one after another. On the one hand, it is necessary to avoid being implicated, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as doing it for yourself.

"It's good, but now you still have to be steady, and it's easy to pull the egg when you take a big step. What to do is not just to make the small number of smart people believe, but to make the vast majority of the people believe, and then use them to form a force on Tang Youshan step by step. Tang Jin was not fluttering because he had achieved such great results in a short period of time, now is a critical period, whether he can form the final momentum of forcing the palace, it depends on the foundation laid now, if the foundation is not good, the final result will be very different, and if he doesn't do it well, he will lose himself.

"Yes, the villain understands." Liu Yuqing responded, and then hesitated slightly: "According to your plan, the first four days were mainly to spread the rumor that the King of Guanshan County almost killed you, and then replace it after four days, the villain wants to ask what to do in four days?" The villain is so early to prepare. ”

Liu Yuqing reminded Tang Jin that this is ancient times, not modern times, compared to modern times where public opinion can be controlled with a computer and mobile phone, ancient times are much more troublesome.

"Well, you're right. In this way, when you spend some money to find people in teahouses, bookstalls, gambling houses, or even restaurants, in short, it is the kind of crowded place, so that they can chat in pairs and chat around the central point of 'the king of Guanshan County intends to murder the prince', and the sound does not need to be too loud, so as to attract the attention of the neighboring table or others. By the way, it's better to let them dress up as scholars. Tang Jin thought about it carefully.

"Scholar? Why do you have to be a scholar? Tang Xu asked strangely.

This time, without waiting for Tang Jin to speak, Liu Yuqing seemed to have figured it out, and preemptively said: "What the prince of the world means is that ordinary people are illiterate, and people who see scholars dressed up will instinctively regard them as omniscient beings, and what comes out of the scholars' mouths, they will naturally be regarded as Guigao?" ”

"That's what it means, Lao Liu didn't see it." Tang Jin nodded approvingly when he heard this. Liu Yuqing hurriedly showed a flattered look, and said "Don't dare"

When Tang Xu heard this, after thinking about it for a while, he showed a look of understanding, and then as if he was suddenly interested in this kind of thing, he asked, "Brother Jin, what should I do after that?" ”

"After that?" Tang Jin froze for a moment when he heard this, and thought for a while: "After that, it depends on how the other party responds." If he arrests someone, I will personally come to the door to ask for someone, so that people can deepen their recognition of the rumors, and if he still lets it go, I will still have a tacit attitude. After this wave was over, the final rumor followed: 'The prince is very angry, and unless he hands over the king of Guanshan County, he will slaughter the whole county'. After the first two waves of brainwashing, the vast majority of the people will definitely believe this rumor, and at the same time, there will be another sentence, 'The prince has already sent a letter to the palace, or urgently'. Under the persecution of two by two, the general trend of forcing the palace has become. ”

"Then aren't you afraid that they will jump over the wall and kill you?" Tang Xu said with a frown.

When Tang Jin heard this, he suddenly looked at Tang Xu like an idiot, "Aren't they the same death if they kill me?" I'm dead, do you think my dad will let them go? When the time comes, not only will they not survive, but on the contrary, they will hasten their demise. And although forcing the palace is dangerous, it's much easier than doing it against my father, right? ”

"Uh...... Also. As soon as Tang Jin said this, Tang Xu could be regarded as reacting. All in all, the only way to survive in this whole rumor is to hand over Tang Youshan. In this case, don't say that he is just a county king, even the emperor will still be finished.

"Rumors...... It's terrifying......" Thinking like this, Tang Xu couldn't help but shudder, the lord of a county was gone, the whole world, I'm afraid the emperor can't do it, right?
