Chapter Fifty-Nine: Harness the People!
Yang Fan's voice, with the blessing of internal force, spread far and wide, and it was full of echoes all around, striving to let more people hear it.
"In the past, the country was affected by the disaster, the grain harvest was not enough, and the villagers were starving, and I wanted to relieve the disaster, but there were traitors in the court to make trouble, and there was an invasion of the Western Barbarians of Rongguo outside, and it was difficult for me to take care of it, so the White Lotus Demon took advantage of the situation and killed the people and villagers."
"You are also because the grain fields are occupied by the family, and you really have no food to eat, so you are bewitched by the White Lotus Sect, in fact, you don't know what the rebellion is, rest assured, the crime is not in you, it is all the fault of the White Lotus Sect, all of you are innocent, and I am not to blame in the past!"
To build momentum, we must take it step by step and guide the people's emotions and psychology step by step.
The current people are basically innocent people, and they have not become banana people who are lackeys for the White Lotus Sect, causing major harm to Yang Fan's Chu State, and the crime is not big, so Yang Fan can understand, besides, the people are all productive forces, and Yang Fan still has to use them.
first slandered the opponent and turned the will of the people to Yang Fan's side, Yang Fan took the initiative to admit his mistake, gave the people a step down, and declared the people innocent.
In this way, the people will completely fall to Yang Fan.
"That's right! That's right! It's all the fault of the White Lotus Sect! We have been deceived. ”
"It's all to blame on the White Lotus Sect and the group of clans that have encroached on the land, we have always trusted Your Majesty."
"Made! It turns out that Your Majesty is so difficult, there are traitorous ministers and families in turmoil, there are foreign invasions outside, and natural disasters have been suffered for many years, and the White Lotus Sect has launched a rebellion, grass! I didn't even help the abuse, I really want to give myself a mouthful! ”
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry!"
"Your Majesty has even forgiven us for the sins of rebellion? Forgive somebody's past misdeeds? What a holy lord! ”
"This is completely different from the White Lotus Sect's smeared tyrant Faint Monarch, Your Majesty is obviously the Holy Lord Mingjun!"
"That's it, and he's so handsome, do you think which tyrant in the script can be so handsome? It's all a group of fierce gods with eight heads. ”
The people whispered one after another, here, there were the sailors sent by Yang Fan, and there were also the heartfelt words of the people after they really changed their minds.
Of course, they didn't find out that in fact, their psychology and emotions, feelings, etc., had already been taken care of by Yang Fan, just like they had been manipulated by the White Lotus Sect before.
Yang Fan paused and continued to speak.
"But don't worry, folks, the White Lotus Demon has been beaten away by me, and those landlords of the family, I have all raided their homes, and the fields will be distributed to you folks according to the population, and everyone will have land to plant in the future, and there will be no hunger."
"A gentleman's words are hard to chase, I can swear to the sky."
After the people fall to Yang Fan's side, they will also give benefits, so that the people will really, heartily, and thoroughly become Yang Fan's shape.
Anyway, now that there are so many landlords and so many empty lands, Yang Fan can't plant it by himself, and it is inevitable to distribute it to the people.
The income obtained by the people from farming will be paid to Yang Fan, so that the people will have food to eat and Yang Fan will have money to spend, killing two birds with one stone.
If Yang Fan has money, he will be able to expand his harem and continue to recruit beauties from all over the world, oh no, he will be able to fill the treasury and feed the army, making the state of Chu stronger and richer, and the people more powerful.
When the country is strong, Yang Fan will be able to expand externally, expand the territory, and destroy the enemy countries such as Rongguo Nanli.
At the same time, the people will have more land to plant and be richer.
This is a systematic and mutually beneficial, virtuous circle.
Yang Fan admits that he has selfish intentions, but there is nothing wrong with this.
"Ahhhh Long live Your Majesty, long live the truth, it's simply a living Buddha in the world, Holy Lord Mingjun! ”
Someone suddenly fell to his knees and cried.
As soon as he heard that Yang Fan not only did not hold them accountable, but also gave them land and food, hundreds of people instantly boiled.
Enthusiasm suddenly soared.
At this time, there was no need for a navy, and the people all knelt on the ground voluntarily, chanting Yang Fan as the Holy Lord Mingjun and the Emperor of the Ages.
People are all profit-oriented.
You can't let the people have enough to eat, so what else do you want you to do?
"Your Majesty! In the past, we didn't take into account the difficulties of the imperial court, but in the future, even if it is a natural or man-made disaster, no matter how low the harvest in my family's field is, I will definitely support Your Majesty, and the White Lotus Sect still wants to trick me into rebellion? Scold! Lao Tzu hacked him to death with a kitchen knife first! ”
"That's right! From now on, Your Majesty will be our reborn parents! ”
"Woo woo, Your Majesty, I will join the army when I grow up, and I will dedicate myself to Your Majesty and the State of Chu!"
"I'm going to join the army too!"
"What kind of army are you a woman from? Weaving more cloth and taking care of your husband more is to contribute to Your Majesty. ”
"Ahh Lower man, why do you say that women can't join the army? Are you discriminating against women? ”
"Uh...... I don't know what to say, so I'll just shout "Long live Your Majesty!" ”
The whole street, as far as the eye can see, is full of people with fiery eyes.
Their loyalty to Yang Fan and the State of Chu has reached its peak.
Yang Fan saw that the heat was almost over, so he waved his hand.
"Bring those White Lotus Sect members and the Banana Man traitors up!"
The benefits are over, the virtue tree is enough, it's time for the tree to be mighty!
To control the people, you can't just give benefits, only good to them, and they will want more.
Human desires are like rolling stones in a high mountain, once they start, they can never stop.
Therefore, it is necessary to give both grace and power.
At Yang Fan's behest, several members of the White Lotus Sect, as well as a large group of banana man traitors who had been caught earlier, were escorted up and knelt down in front of the people.
Some of these White Lotus Sect members were caught before they had time to retreat, and some of them were directly pulled from the banana man traitors and put on the clothes of the White Lotus Sect members, and the people wouldn't recognize them anyway.
At this time, they were full of spitting from the people, and rotten vegetable leaves, etc.
As they brought up, more filth was thrown up by the people, and everyone was scolding.
They also wanted to scold back, explain, and frame Yang Fan in turn, but there was no way, Yang Fan had already cut off their tongues in advance, and they couldn't say what they wanted to say, so they could only be slaughtered.
"White Lotus Demon, everyone will be punished!"
Yang Fan gave an order, and the executioner who had been arranged a long time ago stepped forward with a laugh, rubbing his fists, and the big knife in his hand fell.
Click! Click! Click!
A few heads fell in response to the sound and landed at the feet of the people, and were soon trampled on by hundreds of people.
"Also, these people, they are not the White Lotus Demon, but they are more damned than the White Lotus Demon!"
Yang Fan's voice suddenly became cold.
"Folks, the people may not be guilty of being bewitched by the White Lotus Demon to rebel, but they can't do it from the bottom of their hearts, spare no effort to do things for the White Lotus Sect, help the White Lotus Sect to abuse them, help the White Lotus Sect to oppress other people, and completely betray their country, this kind of traitor, who still looks the same as us on the outside, has been completely infiltrated by the White Lotus Sect on the inside, and cannot repent."
"This kind of banana man traitor, unlike you, who abandons the country and family without a king or father, deserves to die, must die! Even more hateful than the White Lotus Demon! ”
"Come on! Give me a thousand cuts! ”
Yang Fan shouted, his voice was like a wave, carrying the unparalleled power of the emperor, reaching the ears of everyone present.
