Chapter 1023: The Man Who Plays Chess
When they heard Feng Zhou say this, they naturally knew what they meant, and soon sent their henchmen to build a large number of entertainment venues around Xiangyunju.
There are all kinds of green buildings and men's halls, casinos and the like, and there are even guys who imitate Xiangyunju to open a comprehensive entertainment venue, and sure enough, the popular business of Xiangyunju is quite prosperous, although the ability to make money is far less than that of Xiangyunju, but the income of about hundreds of thousands of taels a year is still not a problem.
Feng Zhou told them that as long as they don't use usury to exploit the common people and don't participate in the purchase of abducted children, then let them run it, anyway, no matter how they operate, they can't surpass Xiangyunju.
Although the magnates have a lot of industries, but the industry that earns hundreds of thousands of taels a year is unique, and they naturally will not forget Feng Zhou, the well digger, although Feng Zhou does not care about these, but these heart magnates still accept his favor.
In this way, a special entertainment industry street has been formed in the street where Xiangyunju is located, which is the most prosperous street in the entire capital, and there is no one, which is something that even Fengzhou didn't expect before.
Speaking of Xiangyunju, in addition to developing into a comprehensive entertainment and leisure place, Fengzhou naturally values it most or has a strong public opinion guidance function.
As a young jinshi, although Feng Zhou is talented and ascends to the position very quickly, it can be said that there is no time since the imperial examination system.
But after all, he is too young, and his sudden rise to the top will inevitably cause the government and the opposition to look sideways, and countless officials are jealous and hateful of him!
After a long time, all kinds of gossip naturally spread.
Although Feng Zhou didn't care about the influence of these public opinions, since he was an official in the imperial court, he was naturally unwilling to easily break the rules, and not everything could be solved by force.
Therefore, Fengzhou used Xiangyunju to create a powerful public opinion position, which has become the vane of the entertainment industry in Beijing, whether it is a new opera or storytelling or cross talk, it will spread throughout the capital in the shortest time, and then spread throughout Gyeonggi and even the entire northern land at a wind-like speed.
Fengzhou, who has experienced the bombardment of modern entertainment information, naturally knows that the speed of the diffusion of entertainment gossip information is definitely not comparable to ordinary mainstream public opinion.
Of course, the poetry and songs in the literati circle and all kinds of lyrics and songs can be regarded as pop culture, and they are also a kind of entertainment gossip information, and famous songwriters have a great advantage in the mouth of public opinion like modern emperors and superstars, such as Liu Yong and Tang Bohu and so on.
At this time, Xiangyunju's influence on the position of public opinion has far exceeded the public opinion mastered by the literati, but whenever something happens, he is not afraid at all if he really wants to play the public opinion war!
After all, no matter how powerful the literati's pen is, there are few of them! After all, they can't compare to the mouths of the common people.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat.
The sword of the warrior cannot compare to the pen of the literati, but the pen of the literati can never compare to the mouth of the people.
The best way to manipulate public opinion is always to use the word of mouth of the people.
When the Ministry of Industry impeached Zhang Renfeng for controlling the Yellow River, he treated the people harshly, and Zhang Renfeng's joke immediately spread on the market.
Zhang Renfeng became a minister of work, returned to his hometown, and met a friend of his childhood, who lived a very poor life. He lectured him: "Li Lu, if you want to live a good life, you must learn to work more!" Li Lu asked: "How can I work more?" The ambassador of the treasury has never sent me. ”
Zhang Renfeng replied: "You go to the street in the middle of the night to see, how others work overtime, you also work overtime, just do it." Li Lu remembered it in his heart, and when he went out to the street in the middle of the night, he saw big carriages, small carriages, and small carts and carts constantly driving towards the warehouse of the local government, all moving things to his home, and he knew how to "work overtime". Li Lu learned to steal national taxes and soon became rich.
A year later, Li Lu brought a large piece of salted pork to the capital to visit an old friend and reward Zhang Renfeng for his guidance. He came to Zhang Renfeng's thousand house in the Ministry of Industry, first hung the salted pork on the nails on the outer wall, and went in and said to Zhang Renfeng: "Brother Zhang, after listening to your guidance, I am rich." Now I'm bringing you a piece of salted pork as a token of gratitude. After hearing this, Zhang Renfeng hurriedly asked, "Where is the salted pork?" Li Lu replied and hung it on the wall outside. Zhang Renfeng was shocked and said, our Ministry of Industry also has overtime, and immediately opened the door to see, the salted pork has disappeared.
As soon as this joke came out, it immediately spread throughout the capital, and the Criminal Department teamed up with Jinyiwei to investigate Zhang Renfeng's property under the pretext of the situation, and it turned out that his family had a lot of money and many of them were corrupt and corrupted.
So the dignified Ministry of Works gave the matter, and soon lived in the prison of the Criminal Department, and was finally sentenced to exile for thousands of miles.
In the eighth year of Tianshun, Jinyi Wei commanded Yuan Bin to be excluded, Yingzong's henchman reached the top position, this person was arrogant, and those who were resentful of it would be guilty of stealing the pawn, arresting and torture, so that there was no evidence, and there was no objection.
At this time, Feng Zhou entered Beijing, and Menda wanted to insult Feng Zhou to establish his prestige, but a joke about him immediately spread in the market.
Jinyi Weibei Town's envoy asked Menda for instructions: "The next group of people will be executed before lunch or after lunch?" Menda replied: "Of course, it is before lunch, and lunch must be saved to worship Yue Wangye."
This joke doesn't sound like much, but it has a huge influence in the market.
The dignified brocade guards are all commanded, killing people like hemp, but they don't even give people a broken head to eat.
For a time, thousands of people were instigated, rushed into the Fusi Yamen of Jinyi Weibei Town, and beat Jinyi Weidu to death under the command of Menda.
So much so that after Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen heard the news, he was shocked and died of illness.
After these two examples appeared, the entire court's attack on Feng Zhou suddenly decreased a lot, and the intensity of it was even more painless.
As a result, Feng Zhou regained a foothold in the capital, and the new emperor Chenghua Tianzi Zhu Jianshen quickly promoted him to the left servant of the Criminal Department, and Feng Zhou also became a big man on the mountain.
Those who can hold a high position in the capital are all extremely smart people, so the sealing of the boat has been achieved, and no one dares to trouble him casually, even if the imperial history is not a last resort, or if he catches his handle, he will not be easily impeached, and there will be a price.
Today's Fengzhou, not only dramas and auspicious cloud residences, but also a variety of bookstores, in addition to the special engraving of some historical articles and classic works of celebrities over the years and some great writers, a large part of them are printed by the opera commentary cross talk adaptation, not only in the market is all the rage, even in the back house of the nail of the wealthy are also sought-after goods, in the entertainment of the public at the same time to open a silent public opinion propaganda.
With the development and expansion of Xiangyunju's influence, many discerning people have come to the door, and want to achieve certain goals through the guidance of Xiangyunju's public opinion by handing over new tracks and storytelling books or cross talk scripts.
So Feng Zhou was on top, and by controlling public opinion, he completely became a chess player.
At this point, although Feng Zhou is just a left servant of the Criminal Department, whether it is the emperor or the elder, it is almost impossible to use conventional means to bring down Feng Zhou.
If you want to use unconventional means, Menda is a lesson from the past.
Even if the emperor wanted to hand over the knife, few of the Manchu civil and military forces dared to take it.
After all, once you take over, not to mention the ruin, you may be beaten to death, which is really worth the loss!
