Views:

When Zhuo Yunfeng came to find Ning Yi, it was this evening. Before that, Ning Yi was thinking about the establishment of a huge public opinion system in the Wu Dynasty, and it was time for some distress.

Regarding the steps for Ning Yi to go to Beijing, of course, the first is to deal with Liangshan, but the fundamental purpose is to start to deal with the similar disasters that may come to Jingkang or the Jin people going south in a few years. For a country, in fact, most of the things are done step by step. How to enrich the country and strengthen the army, the things to be done are actually similar in the general direction, and the ability of people is actually shown in countless details. But of course, there are also some things that can fundamentally change, find a fulcrum and leverage the overall situation, such as reform.

However, for the reform in the overall situation, Ning Yi respected and thanked Bumin, and he did not dare to get involved in matters of this level. What he can do this time in Beijing is his ability in many details, his previous experience in running a company, management and coordination of logistics, solving various small problems, and using conspiracies. As long as there is no major change in human nature, he can do it. It won't be messed up when things get up. After all, business warfare is all-powerful confrontation between people. In addition to this, there is a blank area that can determine the fundamentals, and he has considered filling it.

The steps are as follows. After going to Beijing, with Qin Siyuan's approval and his previous experience, "Bamboo Notes" will be spread across the country at the fastest speed. Even though each era has its own characteristics, with the support of the state apparatus, many modern shopping mall experiences can still be used in the Wu Dynasty. This is not a big problem. Open a huge storytelling and entertainment industry, targeting the masses, those who are completely illiterate countrymen, and more than 90% of the people in the Wu Dynasty who do not have the right to speak. In this category, it should not be counterattacked by the aristocratic class for a while.

To spread such a thing. Of course, the conditions that need to be met also include the establishment of various standards, the standardization of training systems, and the reduction of production costs and loss of circulation channels. Just as supermarkets gradually replaced department stores in later generations, online stores began to squeeze the entire real market.

Even though the Wu Dynasty does not yet have the foundation to develop capitalism, Ning Yi has enough experience in his hands for more than an era. As long as he is not suppressed for a while at the political level, Zhuji can be like locusts everywhere. Spread out quickly. How to deal with the government and pay bribes. How to settle a local gang, these things also have extremely professional methods in the developed capitalist system of later generations.

When he really wanted to release these things, Zhuji might be like the first piranha that entered the freshwater system. As for the harm it will do after multiplying, Ning Yi doesn't care for the time being. But relying on Zhuji, this entertainment system will promote some extremely simple and cheap truths to the whole society, such as "the great man is for the country and the people", and in a few years, it will lead the green forest and grass bandits in the whole society to the north.

The current Wu Dynasty does not have enough public opinion monitoring and propaganda systems. Although there must be a literary prison in every dynasty and every generation, it is still aimed at readers who are less than 10% of the population of the society. The propaganda system is almost non-existent. In particular, no one will publicize anything to the civilians at the bottom of the society. Those who face the loess and turn their backs to the sky may have never heard stories a few times in their lives. The people in the rivers and lakes, the green forest thieves and the like, who really listen to it, are only some simple storytelling and opera. The stories in these things are simple and straightforward, but most of them are not deliberately directed by public opinion, at most some people like to hear about it. The pleasures and grievances of the swordsman, the peach blossom luck, etc., are simply a piece of virgin land that has not yet been cultivated.

However, as known to later generations, many literati wrote poems and parallel prose about patriotism, which may be applauded by a group of scholars if they are placed in the court or at the literary meeting, but if they are placed at the bottom of the society. to be honest. Who knows what you're promoting? Some of the people in the green forest can read the teacher's table, and some understand its meaning. There are a few soldiers who hold hoes and are full of grief and indignation because of Du Fu's poems.

At this time, the entire Wu Dynasty society was extremely simple. The illiterate people were far more foolish than the otaku who used to use the Internet in later generations. As long as a few years, people will have more sense of worrying about the country, even if they cannot fundamentally Get rid of those green forest bandits and martial arts people, but as long as the overall situation is tilted a little bit, the combined forces are enough to promote the entire society. In this sense, it is far more cost-effective to raise a group of people to write and play dramas than to raise a few top literati to write handed down poems.

This is the only fulcrum that Ning Yi can think of that might be able to shake the entire society without disturbing the privileged class too much. But there are still many problems. The most important thing is that he is hesitating whether to let the Wu Dynasty master this kind of nuclear weapons. He once told Liu Xigua how to brainwash the soldiers at the bottom, and he also mentioned to Lu Hong the importance of propaganda, but to be honest, a convenient public opinion propaganda system that covers the whole society is the best way to really implement these things. The basics, but if it really works, the days of Ba Daoying or Lu Liangshan will only be more difficult. This is a frog boiled in warm water, and it is impossible to prevent it.

Ning Yi didn't know what his relationship with Wu Chao would be like in the future. He just wants to stop the Jin people from going south, but some things have been thought out from the moment he wants to do things. After that, he will definitely offend people, maybe a lot of people. He is not a good man who focuses on serving the country and the people. I want to do things because I see people like Qian Xiwen, Liu Xigua, Chen Fan, and people who can be recognized by him and who are worth saving. But if there are many things counterattacking himself in the end, he will never sit still, this is the worst result he has ever thought of.

It is also for this reason that when the concept of this public opinion propaganda system was basically completed, he hesitated a little, and then made corrections in the outline of the painting. When Zhuo Yunfeng came to look for him, things were about to be critical, but what the other party wanted to say didn't seem to be a trivial matter.

"I know Zhou Pei is right next to him, in the room where Mr. Ning used to live."

He brought Zhuo Yunfeng into the room and sat down, and poured him a glass of water. Sure enough, after sitting down, the young man in front of him said straight to the point. This kind of direct speech made Ning Yi's mind pause for a while, so he nodded, holding a brush in his hand, watching the other party continue to speak.

"I have known the county master since childhood, and she has something in her heart. I know what she thinks. From two years ago, when Prince Kang's mansion first planned to choose a husband for her, she was a little reluctant. I know her temperament. She wants to see more people and things, but when she sees Jiang Ning, she will always feel that it is not enough. Mr. Ning also knows that the county owner is very smart. Most men... She doesn't."

When Zhuo Yunfeng said this, looking at Ning Yi's appearance, he saw that the other party was looking at him and smiling, but nodded. In fact, Ning Yi's reaction surprised him. Regarding the visit to Ning Yi this time, he has reconsidered his words many times. He planned to make the other party's face turn pale with his first sentence. Who knew that Ning Yi's reaction was flat, and he felt that he still underestimated the smart man. . But when he thought about it, the other party's heart must have been turned upside down, but he did a good job of showing his emotions and anger. At this time, he smiled and nodded, which should be a symbol of chaos in his heart.

He didn't know that Ning Yi was thinking in his mind if he didn't use public opinion as a reason. How to convince Qin Siyuan to tilt enough political resources to Zhuji. But in his opinion, as long as he doesn't promote vigorously, even if Qin Siyuan knows that publicity is useful, he should not pay too much attention to the entertainment industry of the restaurant. Anyway, what Zhuji has to do is simple, nothing more than make a lot of money, and then invite people to tell stories and sing operas all day long, just check the content. In addition... this Zhuo Yunfeng looks quite clever.

"In the early days, the palace forced her to push her a little harder. When she talked to me privately, she already had the intention to leave. It's just not very firm. But this time... I think it is I really made a decision. Originally, I was just guessing, but it was confirmed yesterday. I know that the princess has always admired Mr. Ning's talent. But I don't know how she persuaded Mr. ... I shouldn't have said too much at this time. , but a friend. Mr. Ning, this matter is about the reputation of the county lord. She escaped from the house when King Kang was about to choose his son-in-law. It was not a big deal to go all the way north, but if someone knew... Know who she is with the county lord Who is in the same room. Mr. Ning, I'm going to be more serious about this matter. In the end, I'm afraid that she will hurt others and herself. It's not good for me to mention this to others, but Mr. Ning has to plan ahead. "

What Zhuo Yunfeng said was naturally a relatively euphemism. Among Zhou Pei's friends, his mind and wisdom are quite outstanding, but he is also quite proud. After Zhou Pei declined his family's proposal for the first time, Zhuo Yunfeng never mentioned it again. He is too aware of Zhou Pei's character. He knows that Zhou Pei has been influenced by Kang Xian since he was a child, and he admires those who are capable and talented, but with a girlish heart, he always feels that there are many better landscapes in this world. If you can't prove your ability at the highest level, it will be difficult to get the other party's heart.

And the highest level stage is naturally the capital.

Guessed from many previous events that Zhou Pei wanted to escape from home and go to Beijing. Later, Ning Yi's return may have deepened her idea of putting the plan into practice. From the earlier conversation, Zhuo Yunfeng probably guessed this. He was determined to go to Beijing. Of course, this idea was a bit risky. Fortunately, it can be confirmed in the past two days that the little princess really did such outrageous things. , he is not running in vain.

In his original plan, the best thing might be that he would help and take care of the little county master along the way to Beijing, and then convince everyone in Bianliang with his poetry and literature, and at the same time, he could temporarily show his prominence among the royal clansmen. It's a pity that when it was confirmed that Zhou Pei lived in Ning Yi's room, he felt inappropriate. Before coming here this time, he originally thought of two possibilities, either the two were really just a simple master-apprentice relationship, or... Ning Yi is better than Zhou Pei. He is only six or seven years old, he is talented, and the little county master has always admired him. If there is something shameful about this pair of master and apprentice, then... it is unknown.

Therefore, he came to look for Ning Yi, and there were still implicit hints in his words. Zhou Pei is on the boat in Beijing. If he has a relationship with your little son-in-law on the road, Zhou Pei may be said to be a famous festival, but if Kang Wangfu really starts a storm, he can't bear it. After all, it is you Ning Yi.

He spoke, looking at Ning Yi's expression in the middle, seeing Ning Yi nodding occasionally, or frowning in thought, although he was not shocked, he obviously realized the terrible problem in his heart. He is also considered to be a royal clan. This kind of skills of hinting, beating, and detecting subtleties have been cultivated since childhood. At this time, he knows that the goal has been achieved, and he can't help but feel a little proud. If Ning Yi is smart enough, if he wants to get out of these things, he will Gotta make some deals with myself.

In the end, the existence of the little princess will still be announced, and the best way is to say that the little princess is with him, Ning Yi and Bai Ding. I can't bear the gossip of being on the same road with the county owner, but I can, and after that, the whole ship's dignitaries will subconsciously pull their relationship with the little county owner together. These gossip will naturally accumulate in the heart of the little princess in the end.

He thought so, and said a few words about the relationship between the family and the county master, but then saw that Ning Yi also nodded. He stood up over there and said, "It makes sense." Zhuo Yunfeng didn't expect him to say it too clearly, but after saying this, the next development was quite unexpected. outside. Ning Yi led him out the door and patted the door next door. Zhuo Yunfeng heard him say, "Zhou Pei, are you there?"

Zhuo Yunfeng couldn't help being stunned for a while. There were already small but gentle footsteps in the room: "Yes, sir, I have something to do..." It was Zhou Pei's brisk tone that he had almost never heard before. The young girl opened the door, and then she was slightly stunned. Zhou Pei was wearing a rather civilian dress at this time, which she borrowed from Xiaochan. But I don't know why, Xiaochan wore beautiful and temperamental clothes on her body, but it was really out of place when she wore it on her body.

Zhou Pei was quite natural around Ning Yi on weekdays, and even felt a little insignificant, but when he saw Zhuo Yunfeng, he suddenly calmed down, bowed his head slightly, and pulled up his open jacket—in fact, inside is also a coat. It's just that Zhou Pei's body is a little weak now. I wore two, and the outer one was left unbuttoned. After subconsciously pulling on the clothes. She lowered her head: "what..."

"Someone is looking for it, your friend, entertain yourself."

"… Um."

Zhou Pei glanced at Zhuo Yunfeng and nodded slightly. At this time, Zhuo Yunfeng also didn't know how to deal with it. It was supposed to be a conversation between men. He had predicted Ning Yi's mood, response, and anticipated various responses, but just because he was cautious and solemn, he never thought that Ning Yi would shove him directly into the room. Zhou Pei is here, what should he say now... He was greeting Zhou Pei, Ning Yi frowned for a while, and asked Zhou Pei, "What did you say?"

"No, no." Zhou Pei shook his head, then saw that Ning Yi was about to leave, and said, "I'll talk to you later..."

"Oh." Ning Yi nodded and went back. For a while, he was too lazy to care about the entanglement between Zhou Pei and Zhuo Yunfeng and other young men and women. I just thought in my heart that Zhou Pei certainly had the noble temperament of a princess and a princess when she wore those precious clothes, but she looked like a village girl when she wore Xiaochan's clothes, but it was also quite interesting.

These things in his mind, if he wants to overhaul it, it will be difficult to really settle down for a while. He thought about it for a while, and his ears heard the words of a pair of young men and women next door, which vaguely sounded not very affectionate. Zhuo Yunfeng was high-spirited in front of Ning Yi, but he felt a little upset about Zhou Pei. In Ning Yi's view, it was obviously because Zhuo Yunfeng liked Zhou Pei. He thought that if Zhou Pei came to look for him later, he wanted to say a few words, don't think too much and miss out on a good marriage. At this age, Zhuo Yunfeng still looks good.

After a while, Xiaochan who went out has also returned. She went out to see how Su Wenyu's seasickness is getting better. Because of the docking at Xuyi that day, Ning Yi let Su Wenyu, who was very seasick, disembark for medical treatment, avoiding further torture. This time in Beijing, the Su family dispatched only a dozen people, including the maidservants. Xiaochan has a clear grasp of everyone's situation. style. Ning Yi poured her a cup of tea, she sat by the bed holding the tea cup and talked about everyone's situation, the bun was swaying cutely at the back of her head, Ning Yi tilted her head and looked at it for a while, then smiled and followed. She talked about Zhou Pei's suitors.

After dinner soon after, there was still no further news about the little lord. The side of the pier was brightly lit, the stage was lively singing, and the lights on several large ships were connected together. After talking with Zhuo Yunfeng, Zhou Pei and Zhuo Yunfeng had already gone out to eat in the front hall. Ning Yi remembered that Zhou Pei seemed to be looking for him for something. After eating, he continued to think about things and tinker with him. Xiaochan would not disturb him. After making tea for him, I went out to the theater. But after waiting for a while, Zhou Pei hadn't come yet. He wanted to show up suddenly and had a lot of entertainment. Ning Yi got up and went out to clear his head. He didn't plan to wait any longer. He turned around and went to another boat to find Yunzhu and Jin'er.

He knew that Yunzhu and Jin'er didn't show their faces these days, so he went straight to the room, and when he reached the door of the room, he was slightly stunned, because there was a vague voice in the room, and that voice was neither Yunzhu nor Jin'er's, it sounds a little low, but what he said is very familiar.

"... During that time, I didn't know anyone around me. My uncle was alone, and the injury was just healed. He had to bring me, a little girl who couldn't help me. Miss Yunzhu, Miss Jin'er, what do you think? In a place like Hangzhou, there are all the rebels around. All day long, there are people outside who want to kill the uncle to avenge who and who. The attitude of the tyrants is not clear. I really don't know when they will be killed. But even at that time, my uncle didn't make any embarrassing expressions, and often made me happy... I just pretended to be very happy, and sometimes hid behind the house and cried secretly, but I didn't either. I'm afraid, but I just think, Uncle is really nice... uh, now it's my husband... "

The last sentence was in a small voice, a little satisfied and a little embarrassed because she was in front of others, but it wasn't Xiao Chan or who it was, Ning Yi could almost see her shy expression as she talked and touched her fingers. He pressed his forehead against the bulkhead, and was speechless. He kept the Yunzhu story from Xiaochan along the way. He also thought that Xiaochan had told him "viciously" that he would join forces with the young lady to bully others. The woman, but unexpectedly, the two sides have already colluded. In fact, now that I think about it, when Xiaochan escaped with Ning Xi in the Su Mansion, it was Yunzhu who came out and rescued the child. With Xiaochan's temperament, it wasn't surprising that she was grateful to Yunzhu for that favor.

Just when he discovered this on the boat, there was a peaceful scene in the largest brothel in Xuyi County, singing and dancing, singing and dancing happily. In a small room on the side of the main hall, there was a pair of eyes that quietly opened. She walked out of the window, glanced at the guests who came this time, and the maid she arranged to wait at the door, frowning slightly. When she was young, she was the focus of attention of many children and brothel mothers. Since she became famous, she was even more attracted by visitors and admirers. For a while, she did not think that she had been released by Ning Yi. No matter what, even if she was young Acquaintances, he should come too!

She thought about it like this, and then she became a little worried. It seems that Xuyi has not been very peaceful in recent days. He didn't happen to have an accident...
