Many chefs and doctors can understand the principle of governing the country from their professions, saying things like "governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh", "not being good is a good doctor" and so on, and the pianist and painter can suddenly feel a little Zen while playing the piano and painting, saying what "the piano is the voice of the heart", "seeing the mountain is not the mountain, seeing the water is not the water" truth. The latest free chapter of this book can be found ☆ It is not surprising that Lian can understand the truth of the governing officials from the conversation between the doctor and the patient, and the apocalypse just wants to know if he will have a problem that is difficult to solve like his own illness.

Yang Lian said very confidently: "The minister thought of the conditioning method for the chief officer and auxiliary officer from the conditioning method of the Wu people, this method is to constantly unify the thinking, people will change, and they must be constantly reminded, and they can continue to unify the thinking of all officials through regular training, taking turns to preach, etc." In fact, this method was used by the emperor back then, that is, to use the form of singing to make the soldiers obey discipline and increase their loyalty to the court. ”

After listening to Yang Lian's words, Tianqi remembered the incident of letting the army sing "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" back then, and couldn't help but smile, it seems that Yang Lian wants to unify his thinking through propaganda, which is indeed a practical method. When the officials first became officials, they were all enthusiastic and wanted to do good deeds, but after a long period of training, they gradually began to do bad things, no one became Yan Song in the morning or Hai Rui in the afternoon, as long as his thinking was shaken and he sounded the alarm through propaganda, maybe he would save many officials who were about to lose their footing.

Of course, the content of the propaganda must really not be deceived by deceptive means, even if it is deceptive, it cannot make people understand that this is deception, otherwise in the future, others will be sick to their stomachs when they hear such propaganda, and in the end, the credibility of the imperial court will gradually be lost← the biography itself cannot be abused, and it must be aimed at not all empty words and slogans, but it is necessary to convince people in simple terms to educate and entertain, those propaganda, intimidation, and empty propaganda with official words, its symbolic significance is greater than its practical significance, In the end, it will inevitably lead to formalism, which loses the original intention of unifying ideas through propaganda.

Yang Lian smiled silently when he saw the apocalypse, and then said: "If the effect is really as the emperor said, but it was only useful at that time, the minister thought that Master Wu said that this method with the help of external forces can be used." ”

Tianqi looked at Yang Lian and said, "It seems that Lord Yang has comprehended a lot, so you can tell me how to use external forces?" ”

Yang Lian said: "This official did not accept the propaganda of the imperial court or the propaganda was not effective because the Jingshi was too far away from the inconvenient transportation in various places. With the help of external forces, it is necessary to let the local people supervise, and if the people can supervise the officials, then the officials will have some scruples about doing bad things. ”

Apocalypse thought for a moment and said, "How can the people supervise the officials? And how dare to supervise officials? ”

Yang Lian said: "First of all, we must mobilize the people and tell them that everyone is equal, and that supervising officials well is to be the masters of their own affairs, which is the embodiment of equality and freedom." It is necessary to tell everyone that officials have their own methods of governance, but equality and freedom are the principles that the emperor summed up and must follow, so that officials will hesitate even if they want to do bad things, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not be slow to grasp the situation. ”

Let the people supervise the officials This is a joke in itself, what the officials want to do Don't talk about the ordinary people, even the people around them may not be able to know, the sky can only be regarded as surveillance, Lian also understands this truth, his idea is not really to let the people supervise the officials, just want the people to delay or slow down the rhythm of officials to deceive and conceal through surveillance, which is conducive to the timely supervision of the imperial court, it seems that Yang Lian's heart is still dominated by the supervision of the imperial court, which makes the apocalypse relax and breathe a sigh of relief.

For example, the court push system when the DPRK and the Central Committee elected officials can only be regarded as a little sprout of democracy, and it cannot be said that it is very perfect and worthy of promotion. If you rashly engage in democracy that cannot be controlled, it will not be surprising that there will be a large-scale ** at that time, and you must not do anything to quench your thirst. At the same time, Yang Lian, who was also inspired by the apocalypse, was influenced by the meaning of democracy, not to mention that now, even after a few hundred years, the popular form and content of democracy are not perfect.

Tianqi still attaches great importance to Yang Lian, the earliest training talent Tianqi looked for him, thinking that this person is loyal, obedient, energetic, and a useful and useful person, and he has been cultivated as a reserve force in his heart. Now Yang Lian said violently that he wanted to mobilize the people to do things, which surprised Tianqi, if it was his impulse, he was afraid that this was the result of his careful consideration, which meant that his mind was poisoned by Long Huamin and other Taixi people, which made Tianqi feel like a weed growing in his back garden full of flowers.

Tianqi thought for a moment and asked, "Lord Yang thinks that which of the two is more effective, the supervision of the imperial court or the supervision of the people?" Or do you prefer to use one or the other? ”

Yang Lian said: "Of course, it tends to be supervised from the top down, and there are few people who are literate, so they can only use it but not in key places." ”

Tianqi nodded and said slowly: "Illiterate does not mean that there are no thoughts, but even if they are literate, they can't easily mobilize the people to argue or do something together, if they want to do things, they must be able to effectively control them, and the water can carry the boat and capsize the boat, and they can't easily wade into the depths and make mistakes." When you go back, think about how to publicize it, this method is durable, pollution-free, and cold, and it is better to control and explain than any democracy and freedom. As for the supervision of officials, it is better to have the local officials and those who choose them sign joint and several liability. ”

Seeing Yang Lian nodding yes, Deng Yuhan, who had been silent for a long time, asked: "Lord Yang said that he was squeezed out and framed by a person named Wei Gelding back then, may I ask if this Wei Gelding is Wei Zhongxian Wei Gonggong of Dongchang?" ”

Wei Zhongxian is the eternal pain in the hearts of the Donglin Party, and he is also the person Yang Lian is most reluctant to mention and remember, seeing that Deng Yuhan asked directly, Yang Lian nodded helplessly: "It is this person." ”

Deng Yuhan nodded and continued to ask, "May I ask Lord Yang, do you still hate him now?" ”

Yang Lian suddenly remembered that the apocalypse was present, and it was a little inappropriate for him and Deng Yuhan to ask and answer themselves, so he said: "Today, when the emperor receives us, we should talk about state affairs, and personal grievances should not be mentioned at this time, if Mr. Deng is interested, we can talk about it privately." ”

Deng Yuhan also understood, turned to Tianqi and said, "Dear Emperor Your Majesty, it is a bit rude for me to ask Lord Yang directly like this, please forgive Your Majesty the Emperor!" The main thing is that I have a very good opinion of this Lord Wei Gonggong now, he has been working against us and setting up obstacles for so long, please ask His Majesty the Emperor to let him keep a certain distance from us, which is why I came to ask for a meeting today. ”

Tianqi said: "It is understandable in a hurry, there is no such thing as forgiveness of rudeness, in fact, I also want to know what Yang Lian thinks of Wei Zhongxian." Wei Zhongxian's people who let you follow are also my orders, mainly to protect your safety. ”

Deng Yuhan shook his head and said: "We are God's messengers, and we don't need his protection, please ask His Majesty the Emperor to let him evacuate people." ”

Apocalypse shook his head and said, "I have already said at the beginning, the main thing is to protect your safety, and the secondary reason is to spy on you, how boring it is to say this, but you have to force me to say it." ”

"Spying on us?" Deng Yuhan asked puzzledly: "We are just going to repair churches in various places to preach, this is allowed by His Majesty the Emperor, does His Majesty the Emperor think that our people will cause harm to the Ming Empire?" ”

Tianqi said: "With the dozens of people you have come one after another, you can't hurt the Ming Dynasty, but I am afraid that you will hurt the people of the Ming Dynasty, and there is already information that it is inappropriate for you to do two things, if you do not correct it, I will consider canceling your right to continue to build churches and preach." ”

Deng Yuhan said in a hurry: "Everything we do is said in advance, it is impossible to do inappropriate things or two, please ask His Majesty the Emperor to indicate that we should pay attention." ”

Tianqi nodded and said: "Seeing that your attitude is good, I won't go around the corner, I originally said that you are not allowed to recruit underage young religious people, but Dongchang came to report that you widely recruit children of a few years old, and there are still dozens of children in one move, and Daming's regulations are not considered adults if they are less than sixteen years old, don't you know?" The second thing is that you are not allowed to receive money from parishioners, I heard that you have privately accepted donations from parishioners, and it is not permissible to donate money or property. ”

Deng Yuhan said bitterly: "His Majesty the Emperor misunderstood, we crossed the sea to Daming, to build a church must need money, His Majesty the Emperor said that we can collect money by teaching people to read and treat diseases, recruiting underage children is to teach them to read, and the private donation of the people is to thank us for saving our lives, please Your Majesty the Emperor to investigate." ”

Apocalypse said, "I know that you are right, and that is why I say that you are not doing things properly, otherwise you are guilty." Let you teach people to read and write, but you also teach them some foreign songs to praise God, which is not allowed to preach in disguise, and in the future, when you teach classes, the people in Dongchang will have to listen to them. It is a matter of course to get paid for treating diseases and saving people, but you should not accept donations after being paid, Dongchang thinks that you are suspected of luring property, so in the future, you must also have people from Dongchang in your medical hall to protect you and let people settle the bill on the spot, and there will be no more financial exchanges after that! ”

Deng Yuhan saw that Tianqi's tone was slowly becoming stern, so he had to agree, thought about it, rolled his eyes and asked Yang Lian: "His Majesty the Emperor said it, he also wants to know what Lord Yang's attitude towards Lord Wei Gonggong is, can Lord Yang talk about it?" ”

Yang Lian saw that Tianqi also looked at him, so he said: "I don't have any attitude, I didn't hate before, but now I don't hate." ”
