crush the rich

In modern China, the distance between Yin Lian and her country’s leaders is actually not as far as most people imagine—since the development of the new world began, she also met the chairman three times in two years, and she was encouraged several times to “study hard and work hard every day.” up" people.

But it's actually not that close.

Yin Huai is considered a big shot in the country, but if it weren't for the relationship in the New World, it would be rare for him to be able to speak to the leader of a country.Uncle is better, after all, his status is different, but even if he seems to have the same status as him, there are dozens of people in the Huaxia Army, who are colleagues but have limited personal relationships, and are not particularly close.

So Yin Lian felt quite novel and even a little excited when she saw this letter from "Small Knowledge".

It is actually difficult for Yin Lian to tell whether the letter is from the future emperor or from a great man in history, but one thing is for sure—this is a very meaningful thing.

Yin Lian also wanted to know whether there was an essential difference between such a special great man and ordinary people.

After returning to the office, she opened the letter.Before she left, Li Lici obviously had complicated feelings, as if he was hesitant to speak.Yin Lian guessed that she was curious why the prince would write her this letter, but the other party might have told Li Lici that she did not know the identity of the other party, and asked Li Lici to help conceal it, which made Li Lici afraid of saying unnecessary words and causing exposure The true identity of the prince, so he dare not ask more.

This made it easier for Yin Lian.For Yin Lian, some complicated political relations in this world are actually very troublesome and dangerous for her, and it is the most convenient way for her at present to know what she knows but not to break it out.

After she read the letter carefully, she realized that the other party was tentatively asking her about public opinions.Yin Lian thought about it. It is well known that the emperors in this world do not have a good reputation, but in fact, most of the warlords also have a bad reputation, and everyone does not pay much attention to public opinion.Although there is an idea that those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, but many times they are just taller than the short.

Of course, in troubled times, everyone is competing for the world, and there are always many unavoidable situations.When faced with such a major event as the survival of the family and the country, every decision you make will affect the fate of many people. It is actually very difficult to maintain your own principles and behaviors. This kind of statement does not stick to trifles.

What the prince asked was not how to maintain the reputation of the court, which sounds like a waste of effort.

What he asked was obviously more specific.

He wrote in the letter:

... If you meet.Last time I talked with Your Excellency, I mentioned that education must be emphasized to open up people's wisdom. After careful consideration, I also think that this will be a long-term solution.However, I have encountered some things recently that bothered me, and I wish to know whether there is any way to instill some principles into the minds of the people in a short period of time.

In fact, there have been a lot of messages in the south recently...

Halfway through the letter, Yin Lian understood what had happened.

In fact, it is easy to say, what the prince encountered is more like the contemporary version of rumors in the circle of friends or pyramid schemes.Now there is a rumor in the south that a gold mine was discovered in Zhongzhou, which attracted many poor people to secretly go to Zhongzhou to mine.Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this rumor is unreliable, because if there is really a gold mine, the warlords in Zhongzhou should have circled it to mine it. How can it spread to Nanyi Province and then spread it among the market.

But many people were dazzled by rumors and interests, and wanted to sneak west.According to the prince, "according to the analysis and speculation of his wise friends", this is likely to be false news deliberately released by the Zhongzhou warlord.

At present, the population of Zhongzhou is declining very badly. After defeating the Qingzhou Army just now, it was attacked by disasters. In addition, the current ruler of Zhongzhou himself is iron-blooded, so although the situation was controlled in time, many people were killed because of it—— —In order to control the spread of the disease after the drought, the iron-blooded general killed at least 2000 people.

For this reason, Zhongzhou should be very underpopulated at present.It was originally a state where conscription was quite fierce. In addition to the current tense situation, the Linzhou warlords in the north are also eyeing Zhongzhou. There is no doubt that the mood should be quite tense.

But in the case of Zhongzhou, it is not feasible to continue to recruit soldiers.If there is another levy, there should be no one to farm.

The Prince wrote in the letter:

...but the poor are so convinced of this that even if they try to persuade the analysis, they will most likely not listen.Under such circumstances, if they are allowed to go west privately, they will probably become refugees and be forcibly recruited by Zhongzhou, and then become a new wave of cannon fodder for Zhongzhou to attack other states and counties.Nanyi Province has come to be rich and prosperous, even the bottom-level people can afford food and clothing, but the people in Zhongzhou are poor, not only face forced taxation from time to time, but also unavoidable exorbitant taxes. material……

…Now what I worry about is how to fundamentally dissuade these fools from going west and save their wealth and lives…

After Yin Lian read the letter, she thought for a while, and began to write a reply.

... Brother is concerned about the country and the people, which is admirable.

The ancients said that the people can let them know, but they can't make them know. In fact, it is the difference between whether the people can use it or not.The people's hearts that can be used are people who are born with wisdom. Although they have not read many books, they can distinguish right from wrong, and know good from evil.Unusable people's minds are born ignorant. If there is no education to open up wisdom, then many times they are closer to wild animals. They only know desires but not reason, only know the present and it is difficult to see the long-term.If you meet the latter, if you try to persuade them, you must stay close to their thinking, don't talk about reason but only talk about benefits, don't talk about long-term but only show the present...

Yin Lian taught the other party how to intimidate and trap these "poor people".

After she finished writing the letter, she asked Li Lici to deliver the letter to the other party.Although Li Lici was curious about what they said, he still held back and didn't ask any questions.

After the prince received the letter and read it, he was very surprised.He wrote to Yin Lian because he really wanted to get some inspiration from her, but he didn't expect to get any directly usable strategies.Unexpectedly, Yin Lian's strategy was quite sophisticated, but it surprised him.

In fact, this strategy is not Yin Lian's sophisticated thinking, but that Yin Lian's target has sufficient fighting experience in this regard.

He only hesitated for a moment, then turned to find someone to discuss.

After some discussions, all the staff members agreed that Yin Lian's strategy was feasible. Of course, they were all the elites of the society at that time, and they would not really follow the scriptures like students in this matter, and they had their own specific strategies. ideas, will be adjusted to a way more suitable for the situation at the time.

In the letter, Yin Lian simply listened to them talk about the situation in Nanyi Province. She didn't know the specific content very well, and she lacked the necessary feelings.After all, it was impossible for the Prince's letter to report to her the cause and effect of all the incidents in detail. It was only when she found channels for relevant information that she learned about the current specific situation.

There are no such rumors in the capital, and these related rumors mainly appear more in the south and west.Judging from Yue Ke's reply in the letter, the rumors spread to Lucheng to some extent, but not much, and not many people were intrigued, and basically remained at the stage of rumors.But according to Su Changhen's friends, there are such rumors in many places in the south, and they are far more than just rumors. It is obvious that someone deliberately spread the word in the countryside, claiming that gold was dug in Zhongzhou Province, and the words were vivid and true. Yes, it has touched the minds of many people, and it is definitely not a normal rumor.

Most of Su Changhen's friends are also in the media industry, and recently they have made a special effort to learn about rumors in this area, although they have not yet reached the level of reporting in newspapers - the most important thing is to see the evasiveness of the parties involved, anyone with a discerning eye can see Most of them are scams, that is, stupid people with bad brains or bums who want to get something for nothing will believe such unreliable lies. Most editors judge that such news is not worthy of being published in the newspaper.

In addition to the rumors about the gold mines, Yin Lian also heard other supporting rumors. For example, the Zhongzhou warlord claimed that the people only need to hand in half of the gold mines they dug. If they hand in enough gold mines, they can rely on these gold mines. Getting a small official position in Zhongzhou sounds exactly the same as modern pyramid schemes. Recently, many modern pyramid schemes will use the name of high-level national leaders or other leaders to claim the support of a big person, so as to defraud many people. The trust of the people at the bottom.The difference is that the end of the rumors about this gold mine may really have something to do with the Zhongzhou warlords, but it is just a promise that will never be fulfilled.

As long as he heard the specific content of the rumors, Yin Lian knew that Zhongzhou probably didn't have any gold mines.Because these rumors are unreliable, even if the Zhongzhou warlords are short of money and people, it is inconvenient to do anything with gold mines, so why recruit a group of refugees who don't know how to explore and mine to dig.If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Since the rumors are false, then excluding all the sexual and interfering factors, the most likely thing is that Zhongzhou wants to deceive a group of laborers.

But even if they know such a trick, it is difficult to expose the other party, because it is difficult for the people who listen to the rumors to understand the mystery.If there is a lack of understanding of the hearts of the people, even taking action may be extremely difficult to scratch the itch.

Modern MLM activities have always been difficult to deal with. Even if the means are not so clever and full of tricks, the fundamentals are the same. It takes advantage of people's urgent desire to get rid of poverty and greed for wealth.

Therefore, Yin Lian gave the prince many opinions in response to this mentality, including formal public opinion responses, and some targeted strange moves.

And these tricks are much more effective than expected.

The prince's letter was exchanged for several days at a time, and he didn't believe it when he wrote it.Instead, through some news from the industry, Yin Lian learned about the current situation in the south more conveniently and in detail.She indirectly understood and paid attention to it, and she was able to roughly know what countermeasures the prince had adopted.According to Yin Lian's suggestion before, they also carried out corresponding public opinion control and propaganda on the bright side.However, in this era, many ordinary people do not read newspapers, and the things in the newspapers must be of interest to the common people, so they will be spread through the mouths of intellectuals and storytellers.

But this kind of dissemination is very selective, and they will only try to understand it if they feel that it is their own interests.

So Yin Lian clicked on the letter a little bit, indicating that they should carry out propaganda strategically.

In addition to benefits, only danger is the easiest to touch the hearts of ordinary people and stir up their nerves.

Yin Lian adopted this strategy.Not long after the letter was sent, the newspapers in Nanyi Province began to publish various news related to the battle situation in Zhongzhou. Some conditions of the people.Having just gone through a war, the situation of the people of Zhongzhou is naturally relatively difficult. Compared with the rich and peaceful land in the south at this time, the land of gentleness, it made many people sigh for a while.

I don't know where the other party got the photos of the battlefield. It can be said that it looks quite miserable and shocking.If it is a photo from the time of the Zhongzhou war, the war has come to an end at this time, and the opponent must have been prepared to take it out at this time.Of course, because the current domestic war itself is very attractive, it is also possible that someone took the war photos before, and the prince managed to get them.

Regardless, the photos turned out pretty well.For a while, there were loud voices criticizing the war situation in Zhongzhou and the warlords, but the rumors about the gold mine were immediately suppressed.No matter how lovely gold is, it is not as important as Qingqing's life.The more ordinary people are, the more clearly they can tell the importance of it.

While this can stop some people, it won't stop everyone.People who are willing to take risks to make money always have their own reasons, and in this era, war is so common, it is the most difficult reason for most people to stop taking risks.So next, they also tried to adopt some "unique tricks" proposed by Yin Lian and adjusted by the staff to be more suitable for the current situation.

In a village in Namyi Province, a student tried to persuade his uncle not to leave his hometown to dig gold.The middle-aged man with vicissitudes of life and rough skin held the cigarette stick, sighed several times, but refused to let go, so the student took out the newspaper brought back from the town, and showed him the news one by one, and kept reading the newspapers on it. Pushing the photo of him towards his face, the man looked at it twice, and was really moved.The young man was overjoyed, and immediately took advantage of the victory to chase after him, and told him the key points in the previous report for a long time, and finally the man was moved by what he said, and he promised to reconsider.

As a result, not long after the student left, a man who was quite well-dressed but looked a bit like a prince in a dragon robe sneaked in sneakily and asked, "Brother, what do you think? "

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "...I have to think again."

Hearing what he said, the man in Chinese clothes changed his expression immediately, and his heart became anxious, but this expression only flashed by, and he quickly hid it, and changed his tone, saying: "Brother, you haven't Think about it. But I'm running out of time, and I'm going back soon. Otherwise, I'll go back and do the things I need to do first. If you think it through next time when you come, you'll decide whether to go or not Come with me."

The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Are you going back now?"

The man smiled immediately: "How rare. I have such a big business. Isn't this why I found someone to join me because I couldn't open the stall? Whether you follow me or not, I have to continue to do this business."

The middle-aged man was suddenly very nervous: "Have you found someone?"

Seeing his reaction, the man suddenly felt something was going on, and his posture was a little more calm than before. He lit a cigarette and said, "Isn't it? You know, this is a good thing that you can't even dream of. After passing this village, there will be no such shop." Yes. There are many people who want to do it... But this thing is not something that a few people can do. It takes manpower to pan for gold and make gold. The gold mine is huge, and the whole mountain has the shadow of ore. There may be more than one, so if there are more people, there is no fear of losing profits.”

Then he said to him: "I'm also thinking about the people in the country, and I'm afraid that the people I find outside are unreliable, so I would rather take advantage of you."

The middle-aged man listened and took several puffs of cigarettes, but did not speak.

The man said: "Think about how old your mother and sister-in-law are, and they are still working in the fields. Your nephew is a weak scholar, and he can't help you. He is good at studying, but he can't take care of himself... ..."

The middle-aged man suddenly raised his voice and said, "Don't talk about Brother Yu! He is a good boy!"

The man said awkwardly, "I didn't say anything." But he quickly changed his mind and said, "I didn't say that he has a bad character, but it costs money to read well, right?"

He lowered his voice, earnestly and persuasively, and said every sentence about what the middle-aged man cared about most in his heart, and finally persuaded him, making the middle-aged man hard-hearted, made up his mind, and said, "I will go with you tomorrow." !"

The man smiled immediately.
