The rise of the prince

Chapter 439 Wang Tong's Magical Brush
In mid-November, the sky was freezing, and the sky in Jiangzhou was overcast and cloudy. Wang Tong, the prefect of Jiangzhou, had a piece of "Letter to the People" stuck all over the streets and alleys.

It has to be said that Wang Tong was a bit weak as an official, but he was asked to write an article that was first-rate, unquestionable, and his article was very useful, turning the situation in Jiangzhou in one fell swoop.

Speaking of interesting stories about articles changing the world, there are many in history.

The most famous one is Chen Lin's call for thieves. Li Xingzhou has always liked this piece the most. In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it was written extremely wonderfully, and it was performed at its peak in the old TV series.

Chen Lin is a well-known scholar, one of the seven sons of Jian'an. When Yuan Shao attacked Cao Cao, Chen Lin wrote a call to action against Cao Cao.

After Yuan Shao was defeated, Cao Cao captured Yecheng and captured Chen Lin. He angrily asked him why he insulted his parents when he scolded him.The generals asked to kill Chen Lin, but Cao Cao didn't kill him, so he ordered him to bring the proclamation of the year and go to the tomb to worship Yuan Shao together.

When he got to the tomb, Cao Cao asked Chen Lin to read the call to action. The call to action was naturally gorgeous, but it was very vicious and ugly. The whole article was full of words that cursed Cao Cao in different ways. don't read.

Cao Cao insisted that Chen Lin continue to read, and said loudly: "Read! Why don't you read it? When this article was passed to Xudu, I had a headache and was bedridden. After reading this article, I was horrified and covered in cold sweat. Only when the head is healed can we lead an army of 20 to enter Liyang, reject Yuan Shao, and fight to the death with him."

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao laughed sadly: "It's true that a call to arms is like an arrow! When this arrow is fired, it attracts the corpses of many strong men to the battlefield, and their souls return to the west.

I, Cao Cao, will not be shot by this arrow, and the strong man can summon his soul into the earth, and sleep on the green hills at night!The starlight is bright and bright, as bright as words, if you don't read this article, you can make up the sky with blood! "

Everyone was silent, and Chen Lin finished reading the proclamation loudly in front of Yuan Shao's tomb.

As for Chen Lin, Cao Cao loved his talent and did not blame him. He served as the commander of the Air Force to sacrifice wine, and he was in charge of the recording room with Ruan Yu.Later, he moved to be the governor of the prime minister's family.In the 22nd year of Jian'an ([-] AD), he died of the same disease as Liu Zhen, Ying Yu, and Xu Gan.

This is a wonderful description of the power of words. As Cao Cao said, the stars are shining brightly, and their brilliance is as bright as words.

Wang Tong may not be as good as Chen Lin, but he is more than enough to explain things clearly to the common people. Of course, he started from Liu Bei's posthumous edict "Don't do evil because it is small, and don't do good because it is small."

Liu Bei was wandering all over and bumped into walls everywhere, but wherever he went, the people loved him and the upper class respected him, probably because of this.

Li Xingzhou didn't say anything, he naturally couldn't explain clearly to the people, and there are some things, it is better not to say, just like many large companies and countries in modern times, they will consciously or unintentionally use the knowledge of psychology to guide the general trend of the people, and many psychological hints In some public environments, or advertisements, books, movies, etc., the public is often not aware of it.

But it does not mean that these psychological hints are bad, and guidance based on common interests is beneficial.

In Wang Tong's "Letter to the People", his method of saving Jiangzhou is simply summarized as "don't do it because of the smallness of evil, and don't do it because of the smallness of goodness", which can be accepted by the public and explain what he said clearly For the reason.

At the beginning, Liu Bei didn't understand the so-called broken window effect, but in his posthumous photos, he taught his son "Don't do evil because it's small, don't do good because it's small." What is conveyed by your negative behavior will be continuously strengthened and then amplified.

Liu Bei simply thought it was right based on his life experience; later generations concluded the theory through scientific psychological research; the two are not in conflict, but one is more simple and easy to understand, the other is more theoretical and professional, with in-depth analysis .

In line with Wang Tong's article, once the "Letter to the People" was publicized, it was posted all over Jiangzhou's streets and alleys. What happened in Yuelai, why did King Pingnan and the government do this.

Perhaps more than two months ago, few people noticed, but the accumulation of daily changes, even today, is already very huge.

This is like skipping class with you in high school and playing games with you at the same table. Maybe the difference between him and you is that he spends an extra hour a day to concentrate on studying and improve by 0.3 points. At first you think it’s nothing, everyone is similar, the gap of 0.3 It was hard to notice, but after three years, I suddenly looked back and found that there was a gap of more than 300 points between myself and others, which was the gap between Tsinghua University and the junior college.

The same is true of the changes in Jiangzhou. It was not obvious at first, and many people could even notice it. However, after more than 70 days of accumulation and accumulation of quantity, qualitative changes have taken place. The order in Jiangzhou has returned, and the streets have gradually become clean and lively. , and even better.

There were more than 300 female workers, some were disbanded, and only 200 were left in the end, which was enough to clean up the streets. These people will gradually be transferred to the magistrate's yamen, under the jurisdiction of the yamen, and the yamen will distribute wages, and later become permanent staff in Jiangzhou .

In "Letter to the People", Wang Tongwen was brilliant. He first recalled the bad situation in Jiangzhou and the chaotic environment, and then he highlighted the difficulty of the predicament and left suspense when Chen Baiguan was helpless.

Then he talked about the measures that King Pingnan mentioned when discussing countermeasures with King Pingnan, such as sweeping the streets and walls, and posting notices. Do something small, don't take it as a small thing and not do it" to wake up.Finally, combined with the current situation in Jiangzhou more than two months later, Praise King Pingnan has the essence of the ancients, is intelligent and reasonable, and is effective in dealing with chaos.Of course, the implication is also to praise himself, because the government is not afraid of being ridiculed, and fully cooperates with King Pingnan.

All in all, just writing it has already started, and the climax is full of suspense. With Wang Tong's gorgeous rhetoric and clear narrative logic, even Li Xingzhou has a feeling of "I am so wise!" after reading it.

However, Li Xingzhou guarantees with his personality that this "Letter to the People" was really written by Wang Tong spontaneously, and it was released in the name of the Ningjiang Prefecture Yamen. Wang Tong probably felt ashamed, so he wrote himself so arrogantly.

Although it is not as good as Chen Lin's proclamation and Cao Cao's "Let the County Self-Ming Ben Zhi Ling", Wang Tong's "Gao Min Shu" received a huge response as soon as it came out. After more than a month of accumulation, even the most stupid people can find that Jiangzhou has changed a lot.

On weekdays, in teahouses and restaurants, storytelling, singing, and chatting with scholars, the topic has changed from how to laugh at King Pingnan to how to praise King Pingnan for his wisdom and wisdom. Consciously maintain order in Jiangzhou.

This is caused by the satisfaction of self-identity and self-affirmation. It promotes the unity of Jiangzhou people, and becomes unprecedentedly united in maintaining the order of their homeland. Zhoucheng is full of vitality, and some people wake up spontaneously every morning to clean the streets and alleys in front of the gate.

For a while, this kind of behavior became a fashion, and everyone praised it. From ordinary people to wealthy families, they all followed suit.

The broken window effect not only has a negative meaning, but also a positive meaning. A small negative signal will continuously amplify and fuel the flames.

And vice versa for positive signals.
This is the enlightenment brought by the broken window effect, and it is also the knowledge that has saved tens of millions of people in New York City.Sometimes people say that knowledge is power, but many people have no intuitive experience of this power, because its influence is too wide, the scope is too large, and they don't know the true face of Mount Lu, only because they are in this mountain.

This move by Wang Tong can be said to be a stroke of genius, and it just happened to come together. Li Xingzhou wanted to laugh a little. He didn't expect his unreliable father-in-law to do so many eye-catching things, but at this time he suddenly showed his talent. God made a fortune.

This time, King Pingnan's reputation was greatly improved, and the people of Ningjiang Mansion aspired, and it was easier to do things.

There was a noise outside the house, Zhang Gui felt tense, and hurried his wife to check. After a while, his wife came in and told him that he was fine, but that the neighbor's children were just playing around, and he didn't understand why he was suspicious.

"What's wrong with you these days?" His wife asked puzzled.

"You, a woman, don't ask about the gentlemen's affairs!" Zhang Gui was impatient, his wife dared not speak anymore, he paced back and forth, and ordered someone to help fetch two catties of wine and come back.
