Chapter 196: The Power of Thought

Without a unified ideology or political proposition, Yang Hao felt that Daqi was like a plate of scattered sand, and the army only knew that it was fighting for the sake of fighting, and over time it would appear, like a traitor like Shuo Xiang.

In order to enhance the cohesion of Daqi, Yang Hao must brainwash the existing clansmen and constantly publicize the legitimacy and justice of the existence of the Daqi tribe.

On the other hand, there are evil reactionary forces such as Xia Qi who are actively groping for the dark.

As for how to publicize, Yang Hao completely copied the practices of later generations, and promoted his political ideas by going to the countryside and going to the grassroots level to achieve his ulterior motives.

At the same time, Yang Hao used his superficial painting skills to draw a blackboard painting to carry out propaganda and agitation, create social public opinion and atmosphere, and he used all the brainwashing methods he could draw on to influence everyone in Chang'an City from all aspects.

It's just that Yang Hao's paintings are very simple, with only simple black lines, compared with those works with bright styles in later generations, this has a very clear political purpose propaganda poster, which may be the level of primary school students' graffiti, but the content of the painting can be seen in general.

The picture is simple, starting with the exaggerated slogan on the top font.

"Labor is the most glorious, build a new Chang'an!"

The picture is a scene of a bumper harvest, with people laughing and laughing, and children chasing and playing in the fields, a paradise-like scene.

Yang Hao was very satisfied with his painting, and asked people to hang it on the city wall, as long as the people of Daqi passed through the city gate, they would see this painting.

In order to prevent the blackboard paintings from being damaged by the rain, Yang Hao specially asked people to add a canopy to the location of the city wall.

The officials were confused by Yang Hao's series of unexplained actions, and Yang Hao, who had become more and more authoritarian, rarely held meetings anymore, and often ordered directly if there was any order.

After this period of reflection, Yang Hao felt that he was still influenced by the democratic system of later generations, and he would always inadvertently want to ask for other people's opinions.

Shuo Xiang's defection almost woke him up with a slap in the face.

What kind of bullshit democracy, Daqi doesn't need democracy, what you want is a word.

Talking about democracy with these people who are not very civilized will only slow down the progress of Daqi.

The officials he wants don't need much of their own thoughts, they just need to carry out their orders unconditionally.

It has become obvious to the officials that they have more and more work on their hands, and as soon as they open their eyes every morning, there are countless things waiting for them. It made them miserable.

However, under Yang Hao's high-pressure policy, the changes in Daqi are also obvious.

Through a public performance, the thinking of the people of Chang'an City is also changing imperceptibly.

With the art form of drama, the content of the people's free time conversations, in addition to facing the loess with their backs to the sky, has more new things.

Many people sympathize with the protagonist of the story, and curse those who represent the old forces, perhaps they themselves do not realize that they have slowly become proud of being a great Qi person.

Compared with the common people, the ideological changes in the army are even more obvious.

Through the brainwashing indoctrination of supervising the army for three days and one lecture for seven days, the officers of Daqi gradually understood what it means to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, what is sacrificing one's life for righteousness, what is the great righteousness of the nation, and what is the great harmony of the world.

And on the wall of each company's station, there is a white ash inscription that reads: "Be proud of your loyalty to the leader, practice your skills to kill the enemy, and fight for the cause of liberating all mankind!" ”

After more than a month, Daqi seemed to be beaten from top to bottom, and Yang Hao was very satisfied with this working state.

Regardless of the degree of civilization, Yang Hao felt that the theory of implementing Lao Ma in ancient times was definitely much simpler than that of later generations.

It's just that Yang Hao, as a dictator, how could he allow himself to be produced by the communists, by drawing on some parts of the red theory, constantly condensing the thoughts of all people, through more than a month of temptation, he found that sometimes unifying thoughts is more lethal than having a strong army.

After several months of construction, the dam has begun to take shape, and the officials who organized and supervised the construction of the dam have carefully built the location of the canal inlet with processed stone according to Yang Hao's design.

It is undoubtedly a miracle that the huge embankment, which winds eastward for miles and stretches for miles, can be completed by nearly a thousand people in just over two months, which is undoubtedly a miracle in terms of the productivity of this era, if the embankment is not made of earth and stones, but is built of stronger materials.

Maybe thousands of years later, maybe one of the greatest projects in human history.

Great Qi calendar, mid-May.

On this day, a behemoth nearly six meters tall was erected next to the embankment.

This big guy with a copper pulley block is Yang Hao's latest design of the crane, after the careful construction of craftsmen, human beings for the first time to experience the power of machinery.

In the stunned gaze of everyone, with one slogan after another, under the pull of more than 20 strong men, the heavy wooden gate weighing more than several tons slowly rose from the ground.

The onlookers couldn't believe their eyes, such a heavy big guy, just with such a few people, pulled up.

And the officials of the Ministry of Industry also looked at this monster with excitement that took them a long time to make.

They knew that this was not a miracle, it was the power of wisdom, this "exquisite" machine, condensed too much of their sweat.

On the embankment, an official excitedly directed the direction of the sluice gate, which was constantly corrected.

The gate was finally moved to the groove of the embankment, and under the pull of the crowd, the gate was perfectly stuck in the groove.

As the gate slowly lowered, it stopped when it was still a meter above the ground.

Yang Hao designed a mechanism in this place, when there is no flood, the gate is hoisted up with a hoist, when the rain is too heavy, worried about flooding, as long as the switch is pulled, the heavy gate will be put down instantly.

Although the mechanism is crude, it is a very valuable and practical thing for the Great Qi tribe who have just begun to cultivate intensively, and with this embankment, they can be guaranteed to a large extent from the suffering of flooding.

It took several days to put a gate in place, and after checking it, I was relieved.

Standing on the embankment and looking at the green farmland below, Yang Hao felt that everything he did was worth it.

No matter what future generations say about themselves, whether they are bloodthirsty tyrants or clowns, these crops in front of him are the best affirmation of him.

The merits and demerits of the merits are to be commented on by their descendants, and in the past year, Yang Hao, he has been able to let the people under his rule see the hope of sufficient granaries from hunger, and this hope is now visible and tangible, which is enough for him.
