People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 82 The role of rumors, I am a villain
This kid has a big tone?
Zhu Yuanzhang was very interested and wanted to hear what Zhang Yi had to say?
Using Longhushan, choosing Yangzhou, and achieving the purpose of propaganda through epidemic prevention in an epidemic area, these are the best methods Zhu Yuanzhang can think of.

Does this kid have any better means?

"What do you think……"

Lao Zhu sat up straight involuntarily, and the others also pretended to be listening.

Zhang Yi said:
"Actually, if I were to think about it myself, I might not be able to come up with a better idea than His Majesty, but since I have His Majesty's jewels in front of me, I can follow His Majesty's thinking and use some crooked ways!"

"Let's take a look at the difficulties His Majesty is facing and the hopes His Majesty wants to achieve...

Your Majesty's difficulties [-]. Now that the Ming Dynasty was established at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the people's hearts are not stable, and the people do not trust the government;
Second, the concept of the vaccination law itself is difficult to be accepted by the people;
Third, Your Majesty is afraid that if the implementation continues, officials will be disadvantaged in governing, government orders will be difficult to implement, and fraud will be practiced;

Fourth: Your Majesty is afraid that good things will turn into bad things because of officials' reckless behavior, which will hurt the prestige of the government instead! "

Zhang Yi listed the difficulties in implementing the vaccination one by one, and the others nodded their heads.

These things were analyzed by Liu Bowen, and they also recognized them very much.

"Now that we know the pain point, let's see how His Majesty solves it, and what effect he expects to achieve?"

Zhang Yi continued:
"For the first and second points, Your Majesty put the solution on me, Longhushan. Since the people lack enlightenment, use the way of gods to guide them. Longhushan has prestige among the people. This is a good thing. solve!
The third and fourth points, the problem lies with the imperial court. Local officials are ineffective in governing. Deception is a common problem in the officialdom of all dynasties. Concealing from top to bottom, it is almost certain that people will be put in danger for the sake of assessment.

But after His Majesty chose Yangzhou as the location, he only stared at the government in one place, so he didn't have to be afraid of chaos from below! "

"After the problem is solved, we can look at His Majesty's expectations..."

"Your Majesty's expectations are, first, to promote the vaccination method so that the people will be free from the suffering of smallpox, and what he hopes to get is, first of all, to be kind to the people and quickly win the hearts of the people, and secondly, His Majesty hopes to use this as a record of his future. An important achievement of...

To accomplish this goal, this matter must be handled quickly and effectively!
So His Majesty chooses Yangzhou..."

Zhang Yi unraveled the matter, and everyone present could clearly sort out the thinking behind the emperor's decision.

As the prince of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao is the one who has benefited the most. Others may just listen to the excitement, but Zhang Yi let him understand his father's thinking on current affairs.

This is something that Zhu Yuanzhang might not be able to say in such detail even if he taught by example.

"Why Yangzhou?"

Zhang Yi raised this question and asked everyone to think about it.

Who knows Yangzhou in the history of China?
Once the world's largest city,

Yangzhou, where the old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the West, and the fireworks went down in Yangzhou in March, has gradually declined now.

Yangzhou, which Zhu Yuanzhang took over from the Tsingyi Army ten years ago, has a population of 10, and has been killed to only [-] families.
Yangzhou City is the epitome of the world at the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty. The world that Zhu Yuanzhang took over from the Yuan Dynasty can only be described as a mess.

However, after Zhu Yuanzhang took over Yangzhou, he has been migrating people to Yangzhou one after another to strengthen Yangzhou.

Without him, Yangzhou City, located on the edge of the Grand Canal, is originally a transportation hub, and there is an unspeakable reason for it.

That Yangzhou city was also a famous city that witnessed the historical changes of the Han family.

Governing Yangzhou well can be regarded as an example to the world.

Zhu Yuanzhang's choice of Yangzhou may not have such a meaning.

"Because His Majesty has been migrating the people, it is not surprising that there is a plague in Yangzhou City!
After a major disaster, there must be a major epidemic. One of the most important reasons is population movement...

This time, His Majesty chose Yangzhou as the state capital where the accident occurred. Firstly, he wanted to use Yangzhou's reputation to make a name for this matter. Second, Yangzhou itself is a transportation hub, where merchants gather... His Majesty wanted to take advantage of the convenience of Yangzhou to spread the news Spread it all over the world!
Therefore, in Yangzhou, the government must do a good job in promoting the vaccination method. As long as it is done well, as the merchants spread the news, and then promote the vaccination method later, the resistance will be much smaller..."

"That's right!"

Zhu Biao couldn't help agreeing, and immediately glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, who also nodded slightly.

Zhang Yi is organized and organized. It is really good to sort out his purpose, but this guy said that he can do better than himself.

So what does he want to do?

Seeing everyone staring at him, Zhang Yi laughed.

"Since we have sorted out your majesty's purpose, we also understand your majesty's purpose. Regarding how to deal with the vaccination method, this kid can't get in the way, but how to spread the vaccination method, the kid thinks it can add some drama..."

"Add drama?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Zhang Yi's words made people confused.

"I've read in the Heavenly Book that there is a subject in the future called communication... I won't go into details about it, but there is a piece of knowledge about information transmission that I have memorized!"

When Zhang Yi said that what he wanted to talk about came from the future, everyone felt relieved.

"Which sentence, what do you mean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help asking, Zhang Yi said:

"Uncle, do you know what is the fastest and most widely spread thing in this world?"

"what?"

"rumor!"

Zhang Yi gave an answer that no one could guess, what the hell are rumors?

Could it be that Zhang Yi meant to let them spread rumors.

"Don't underestimate the power of rumors, just like when we read history, official history is as interesting as unofficial history?
Those who write unofficial histories are just spreading rumors, but in the market, do you think there is a market for rumors of romance, or for serious historical materials?

Also, if it is a person, should we describe him as handsome and easy for people to remember, or describe him with buck teeth and protruding eyes, and a shoehorn face that is easy to remember? "

"the latter!"

Zhu Yuanzhang listened fascinatedly, and answered Zhang Yi's question involuntarily.

Suddenly, his face looked ugly, a shoehorn face?
Lao Zhu suddenly remembered a dusty memory!
Damn, the emperor hasn't caught the rumor-monger named Zhang Han yet, so Gao Jianxian must work harder to find that rumor-monger later!

He lost his good mood, and he also lost his good face towards Zhang Yi:

"What kind of crooked way is this? The emperor's promotion of the vaccination method is kingly and upright. If this method is used by the king, won't it tarnish the emperor's reputation?"

Zhang Yi was not angry when he heard the words, but his mouth would not admit defeat either:

"The emperor acts kingly, but boy, I am a villain, but then again, does His Majesty really have the prestige to act kingly?
Uncle felt that these methods were base, but he never thought, where did these methods evolve from?It's not that His Majesty has never used it before, but he never thought that these methods can be used on the people and propaganda! "

"art of war!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was reminded by Zhang Yi, such as enlightenment!
