"Then you still ask, if you don't say something useful, believe it or not, I will reward you with ten more whips?" Li Shimin was stunned and said with an unhappy face.

"Faith, faith." Zhang Zheng is honest, you are the emperor, you are the biggest.

"If you have an idea, don't say it quickly." Li Shimin thought to himself, I can't handle your little baby.

"The minister has three strategies, which can solve His Majesty's worries." Zhang Zheng stretched out three fingers and learned from Mr. Wolong's Zhuge Liang.

Just waited for Li Shimin's sentence: "Oh, what is the clever plan of sir?" ”

It's a pity that Li Shimin didn't raise his eyelids, and a faint smell came out of his nose: "Hmm." ”

You should give a reaction, I am so vigorous, you will give a huh? Well, it seems that Li Shimin doesn't eat this set.

So Zhang Zheng said honestly: "Isn't it a good idea, didn't the old generals get food from the deceased family, just let the old generals lead the troops to wipe out all these families, cut down all the doors, and then distribute the food to the people, wouldn't it be beautiful." ”

"Huh!"

Li Shimin sneered twice without smiling, and said: "Sure enough, it's the next step, it's just smelly." ”

Hearing Li Shimin so disparagement, Zhang Zheng was not angry, he didn't have any good ideas, he just said it casually.

So Zhang Zheng continued: "The middle policy is called public opinion warfare, and the upper policy is called the slave restriction order. ”

"Public opinion war, slave restriction order?" As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one. After all, Li Shimin is the first emperor of the ages who has been ranked at the top of the emperors in the whole of China for thousands of 5,000 years.

As soon as I heard Zhang Zheng say the words of public opinion warfare under the slave restriction order, his eyes lit up.

The corners of his mouth pulled out a smile slightly, and he said to Zhang Zheng: "Talk about it carefully." ”

"Yes."

Since he has decided to help Li Shimin come up with this kind of trick idea, Zhang Zheng is not hiding, he follows his train of thought, and slowly speaks: "Let's talk about the public opinion war first, the public opinion, and everyone too; Commentators, the words of the multitude. As the old saying goes, the mouth of the people is better than the Sichuan.

In fact, compared with the huge population base of the people of the Tang Dynasty, the people of the family are just a drop in the ocean, but why does the family have such a huge influence in the Tang Dynasty?

In addition to the fact that each family has been operating for generations and has mastered knowledge that the people have not mastered, public opinion is also a very important point.

The wealth or military strength of the family itself is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that they can control the ignorant people.

Why? Public opinion! The people are ignorant, and the family has a huge influence in the local area, and after dozens or hundreds of generations of operation, it has formed a strong influence in the local area.

Whatever they say, the people believe, and what the people believe, they talk more.

The war of public opinion, since there is a war in it, it is a way of war, but this kind of war will not shed blood, and it is the right to speak among the people of the court and the family. ”

"What should I do?" Li Shimin impatiently interrupted Zhang Zheng's tirade and asked directly, disgusted by Zhang Zheng's behavior of not talking about the point for a long time.

"In a word, stir up the confrontation of public opinion between the family and the imperial court, and win the people to the side of the imperial court, does Your Majesty know the prophecy?" Zhang Zheng saw that Li Shimin was impatient, and quickly said the way of operation in the most concise words.

"Interesting, interesting." Li Shimin muttered to himself.

"The minister wants to partner with His Majesty to set up a newspaper, and the minister has thought of the name, so it will be called Datang Entertainment Weekly." Zhang Zheng saw that Li Shimin seemed to be moved, and hit the railway while it was hot.

"Newspapers?" Li Shimin asked suspiciously

"Yes, it's similar to the imperial court's newspaper, but it's different.

The newspaper Weichen said, in addition to reporting some major events in the imperial court, will also have some entertaining news, which can appropriately increase some after-dinner conversation for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

What does Your Majesty think? ”

"Hehe, newspaper, is that what you call the key to winning the war of public opinion?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Yes, Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, and you can see thousands of miles." Zhang Zheng slapped a little fart.

"It's not that the matter of running a newspaper is non-negotiable, public opinion wars me understand, what do you mean by the slave restriction order?" Li Shimin could not deny Zhang Zheng's proposal to co-run a newspaper.

As soon as the voice changed, he asked about the best policy Zhang Zheng said, the slave restriction order.

"Yes." Seeing Li Shimin change the topic, Zhang Zheng was not in a hurry, anyway, the newspaper thing, Li Shimin couldn't play without himself, the power of the newspaper, Zhang Zheng, as a traverser, really knew too well the influence of this thing.

"The slave restriction order, as the name suggests, is to restrict the sale of slaves in disaster years. This strategy must be used in conjunction with the method of cash-for-work offered by the minister a few days ago in order to achieve unexpected results.

Every year of disaster, the family will take advantage of the loot and try to annex the land by all means. People who have lost their land have to be displaced and have to sell their children and daughters. Either they will be reduced to tenants of the great families, or they will be reduced to the wilderness of starvation.

You must know that during the Taiping period, these people were the main source of tax revenue for the Tang Dynasty.

But now, the imperial court can work for relief, and even in times of famine, the people can support themselves and their families through work.

At the same time, the local government was encouraged to register fugitive households, and then restricted the sale of slaves.

In this way, the family has lost the source of manpower for them to farm, and the Tang Dynasty has more farmers who can pay taxes, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, what does Your Majesty think? ”

After Zhang Zheng finished speaking, seeing that Li Shimin seemed to be in deep thought, he called softly: "Your Majesty? ”

"Wonderful!" Li Shimin woke up from his contemplation, praised it, and looked at Zhang Zheng's eyes full of shock.

This is a fifteen-year-old boy, is he really only fifteen years old, and a fifteen-year-old child can think of such a righteous and bright plan to limit slaves?

Then there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and at this moment, Li Shimin really felt that the young man in front of him was good.

"Very good, Zhang Zheng, you are very good." Li Shimin praised Zhang Zheng.

This is the first time Li Shimin called out Zhang Zheng's full name, in the past, he was either called a boy of the Zhang family, or a little skin monkey, and if he got angry, he was a little bastard, even if Zhang Zheng had been knighted.

But at this moment, he began to face up to the bastard in front of him, who was famous in Chang'an, and it was this gentleman who gave himself several surprises one after another.

first discovered the worm eggs, and then offered the strategy of cash-for-work, and then today's theory of public opinion warfare, which made Li Shimin, who is himself a scholar and martial artist, shine in his eyes.

And the method of restricting slaves and cooperating with cash-for-work is completely an upright conspiracy, and there is nothing to see in a short period of time, what if it goes on like this for a long time? This is a real conspiracy that can make the family hurt their muscles and bones.

I heard Cheng Qian say that this kid made a bold statement in the East Palace a few days ago to open peace for all generations?
