People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 154 So what if I go against the sky?subconscious

Scared?
Zhu Biao thought about many possibilities, but never thought that the emperor would say the word fear?

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "I'm glad that Zhang Yi told me about the North and South List in advance!
When I decided to promote the North and South Rankings, I still couldn't see the importance of this matter.

I want to be the emperor through the ages, and I want to bridge the north and the south, but I never feel that this matter is urgent.

I guess, even if it is a few years or a few years, it will do.

It was only when I heard about the cold period that I really felt that God was terrible.

The vicissitudes of life have changed, and the current situation has changed. It turns out that God has a pair of invisible hands after all, manipulating everything.

I was thinking, if the cold period is true, then moving the capital to the Northland is an inevitable result, but if the capital is moved to the Northland, there is a hidden danger that must be resolved. "

"Father, what is it?"

"Power and money."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "For the nomadic invasion caused by the cold period, our Ming Dynasty needs to send troops to the northern border for a long time to resist foreign enemies. However, if the king is too far away from the army, he will not accept foreign military orders. If things go on like this, it will easily lead to a situation where the frontier army is too big to lose.

If you want to control this situation, place the capital in the north, and the capital of the country is in the north, so that you can control the frontier troops. "

Zhu Biao nodded, that's what Zhang Yi said just now.

But I obviously heard it too, why didn't I hear anything else?

Old Zhu knew that he didn't want to understand, so he continued: "But Zhang Yi also said that with the arrival of the cold period, China's dragon energy is in the south. The south is the economic center of the world.

The north and south represent military power and financial power respectively.

If the Ming Dynasty established its capital in the north, the world would be stable, but it would be far away from wealth.

Those people in the south hate me very much.Since I ascended the throne, I have always paid attention to balancing the situation in the court.

Do you really think that I can't see the battle between Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang?
The emperor's mind, the most important thing is balance.

But my mistake is that I saw the balance of the party struggle, and also saw the balance between the heroes and the southern scholars!
But these people are all from the south!
I only forgot the balance between North and South!But this is exactly what the future needs most!

The imperial court is far away from the south. If the central and southern people are allowed to grow bigger, there will be no checks and balances...

As the future develops, I am afraid that this situation will be handled by me, and it will be even more difficult!

So I thought about it for a long time just now, the strategy of the North and South List is actually to kill this hidden danger in the cradle for me..."

Before Zhang Yi mentioned the north-south bridging, Zhu Yuanzhang may have tried to do it instinctively, but he didn't do it well, so there was the original north-south list case.

It's just that after Zhang Yi raised a point, with Zhu Yuanzhang's political wisdom, it is not difficult for him to deduce how much trouble these hidden dangers will cause.

Zhu Biao didn't understand half of what he heard, and Lao Zhu didn't make things difficult for him.

As a prince, he has done well enough, but he is still not mature.

After all, not everyone is like Zhang Yi!
"Father, do you really want to move your capital to Dadu?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head:

"It's not decided yet, I'm going to go back and go to the north for a walk!
I wanted to go to Kaifeng again this year, but was delayed by various things. Now that I want to come, I don’t need to go!
But since Zhang Yi said Dadu, then I will go to Dadu to have a look! "

"Father, how can a body of ten thousand gold be in danger!"

Zhu Biao was taken aback when he heard the words, and wanted to stop Zhu Yuanzhang.

It was okay for the emperor to go to Kaifeng, because that was the place that the Ming army had laid down and controlled.

But Dadu is not the same thing at all. Even if Dadu is taken down, the Yuan army still has a very strong military force and can counterattack at any time.

This is risking yourself.

"Don't worry, I have led soldiers for so many years anyway, I am not a reckless person...

I just want to see if Daming's situation is really as difficult as Zhang Yi said!

If it's difficult... God insists on giving me a road full of thorns, and I will use the sword in my hand to cut a broad road for you younger generations!
If the sky does not bless Daming, what if I go against the sky? "

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he was full of pride and ambition, and he didn't hide it anymore.

Zhu Biao's eyes were full of admiration for purple. He seemed to see the father who was fighting on the battlefield, soaked in blood, but lifted him up high.

"My son is willing to go with my father and measure the rivers and mountains of my Daming with my feet!"

Old Zhu laughed when he heard this, he was about to say something when Zhang Yi had already run back from the outside.

"Uncle, I'll ask Senior Brother Deng to go to Chen Ji to buy some roast goose and serve it with some wine. Do you think it's okay?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and his son looked at each other and instinctively stopped what they were chatting.

Old Zhu laughed loudly:

"It's okay, it's okay, sit down!"

"By the way, I heard that your "Twelve Volumes of Mathematics" has been published in various state capitals, and I can also see news that students are rushing to buy textbooks in other places!

Mr. Yi, you, Zhang Yi, are quite a celebrity now!

But it's a pity that the emperor doesn't announce your name! "

Zhang Yi laughed:
"It's better not to announce the name, what do you want him to do with such a false name!
If those scholars know that "Twelve Volumes of Mathematics" comes from Longhu Mountain, what kind of trouble will they have?

If you can push things down, that's fine.
A cultivator should be as modest as a valley, and hide his fame deeply..."

Seeing Zhang Yi boasting, the Zhu family father and son showed contemptuous expressions.

Zhang Yi couldn't keep bragging, so he held his stomach and laughed, and the Zhu family father and son smiled and laughed.

"Actually, making money is king!
It's a pity that uncle doesn't do business in the bookstore, so I can only go to someone else to talk business..."

Zhang Yi didn't regard Lao Zhu as an outsider, he told about his cooperation with Kong Na and Chen Ke.

Although Zhu Biao and his son knew about it, they were secretly speechless.

This little guy has a set of routines, and he doesn't even know that Kong Na's city mansion was sold by Zhang Yi.

However, Lao Zhu is also a little interested in Zhang Yi's obsession with publishing books and selling money.

How much can he sell these things for?
Strictly speaking, booksellers are not a great business, because there are only a small number of literate people in the world.

In fact, its consumer groups are limited.

Coupled with the fact that the price of the book is too expensive, Lao Zhu doubts whether Zhang Yi will be happy for nothing!
But seeing that he was so excited, they would not pour cold water on him.

"Buying teaching aids and selling test papers, this is a just-needed market. Uncle, don't believe me, I can earn at least a few thousand taels this year! 5000 taels should have..."

A few thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. In the early Ming Dynasty, grain was very expensive. According to the market price, one tael of silver can now buy two shi of grain.

In other words, Zhang Yi is confident that he can earn nearly [-] shi of grain this year?

"I do not believe……"

Zhu Yuanzhang hit Zhang Yi and asked:
"There are so many ways to make money, why are you so enthusiastic about doing it? Speaking of making money, the money you can make by writing books is, after all, a minority..."

"Because I had a dream when I was a child..."

"What dream?"

"Candidates crying for the exam..."

Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang were taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Zhang Yi was joking, and they couldn't laugh or cry.

"Uncle said this is not a good business, but I actually think this business is terrible...

If I can't come out and do business directly, I will definitely become a bookseller.Uncle Mo underestimates the power of the bookseller!
If it works well, these guys can affect a person's reputation, they can leave a person's name in history, and they can also make people notorious for thousands of years! "

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to change the topic, but when he heard it, he immediately got excited.

"Details!"

Zhang Yi thought for a moment and said:
"The pen can kill, and those scholars are extremely vicious when they take revenge on others!

The most common method they use to retaliate against others is naturally to use their power to monopolize the spread of culture to kill people with pens...

And the most common method these guys use is to spread rumors in their own books...

For example, those who hate the emperor, wait for the emperor to come out of the book, deliberately make up some jokes for the emperor, is this normal?

Or, what if I have a crush on a lady from a great family and write a storybook novel under her name, making her a slut who can be as husband as possible? "

The example given by Zhang Yiju is a real thing that happened in history.

It is also something that some scholars often do. Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian are obviously very decent people, but because of a copy of "Jin Ping Mei", they have become cuckold kings and well-known sluts...

Similar examples are not unique.

It's just that there are only a few books that have the opportunity to be known to future generations.

"Is it the same as the person who said the emperor's shoehorn face?"

Whenever Zhang Yi said something similar to him, the emperor couldn't pass the threshold of shoehorn face?
"Hey, who knows, maybe the emperor is really..."

Before Zhang Yi finished speaking, he felt Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes about to kill someone, shut up quickly!
Forget it, it's better not to provoke Uncle Huang on this matter.

Zhu Yuanzhang also took the initiative to ask:

"What you said seems to have the same effect as the navy you advocated last time?"

"There are similarities, but they are not the same in essence! The method of the navy is to use the characteristics of the information dissemination process to add the information you want to implant, so as to complete the purpose of manipulating public opinion!

This approach is advanced, but strictly speaking lacks sufficient platforms in this day and age!
But the operation methods of Confucian scholars and scholars are much more normal. They already monopolize the right to disseminate information, and there is no shortage of platforms! "

"platform?"

Zhu Yuanzhang has long been used to Zhang Yi popping up strange words from time to time, what kind of information, don't just spread these things,

Zhu Yuanzhang believes that this is by no means what he understands literally.

"Probably, it is a stage for them to display... For example, in a sense, booksellers also provide a platform for those scholars to spread information!

Scholars hold the monopoly power of culture, but spreading this kind of thing is sometimes very metaphysical...

No one can guarantee that the book you wrote with painstaking effort will be handed down!
And a bookseller can help you with that!
Especially from the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Yuan operas gradually tended to be adapted into story novels. This interesting way of dissemination is more likely to contain private goods...

For example, if I write a book, vaguely based on His Majesty today, and then imply that His Majesty is the reincarnation of Xuanwu, who came to this world to bridge the north and the south, and let the Han people in the world return to their hearts...

As long as the story is written interestingly, the image of the emperor being the reincarnation of Xuanwu is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

This is much more useful than the official propaganda of the imperial court!

If you find a few more storytellers, everyone in Tianxia Restaurant will talk about this book,

You say, how effective is this? "

Zhu Yuanzhang's hair stood on end immediately, and Zhang Yi's method seemed to be feasible.

It’s just purely making rumors, which can indeed be done in some special events, but if we customize rumors, it coincides with Zhu Yuanzhang’s experiment in his tavern.

In fact, the method used by Zhang Yi is not new.

When folk religions rebelled, they often used similar methods.

But how to use it and figure out the logic behind it is the key to the theory of some methods of rising.

Zhang Yi's "Communication Studies" was valued by Lao Zhu because he organized these things systematically.

After finally waiting for this kid to take the initiative to discuss "Communication", how could Lao Zhu let Zhang Yi go so easily.

"What's the difference between the kind of communication you're talking about and those folk religions that demagogue people?"

"The methods are similar, but the essence is different. In fact, many theories in the future, even if you say they are novel, they are not considered!

There is nothing new under the sun, and many things have already been understood by our ancestors!

But people in the future, for the same phenomenon, they will still have more tools to observe and summarize than our current people, so their research may be more thorough than the current people!

Let me give you an example, did I introduce the human body in my book "One Hundred Thousand Whys"... Is this knowledge very novel? No less than later generations!
But he will not take the initiative to study which nerve corresponds to which reaction of the human body...

To study the relationship between the appearance of the giant view and the maggots, and it will not pay attention to the difference between the maggots.

Even if someone has studied it, he will keep it secret as a housekeeping skill,
In fact, how is the theory of later generations different from ours? I have studied it, boy!

The theories of our era, like to talk big, talk about life at will, and keep your mouth shut...

And the people of later generations like to start with details, small things...

If some small changes can be made, it often takes more than ten years, but over time, these small changes will converge into a torrent that can change the world!
Communication studies are probably the same!

He seems to be similar to what you have seen in your life, but there are some differences! "

"This is the origin of Xiaoshu Jian Dao!"

It was not the first time that Lao Zhu had seen Zhang Yi express similar thoughts.

Zhang Yi doesn't like to talk too much about big truths, but likes to change the world in small ways.

And Zhu Yuanzhang also saw that these subtle changes will be connected in series in a certain period of time,

Turn into something surprising.

This is Zhang Yi's "Tao", Lao Zhu is thoughtful.

His behavior pattern was influenced by the heavenly book in his dream, which made him seem out of place in this world.

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's communication studies, or you can say naval warfare, it's something completely different from ordinary enlightenment.

Enlightenment takes the majestic and righteous way, to change people's thinking!

This is true whether it is the theory of Confucianism, Taoism, monks, or the previous schools of thought!
But the things I played last time changed people's subconscious...in an interesting way, with private goods!

Then when people don't expect it, manipulate people's hearts! "

"What is the subconscious mind?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat up straight unknowingly. After the incident in Yangzhou, he became very interested in communication studies and the "navy army".

This is a kind of power that seems to be able to compete with the scholar-official class for "public opinion control". For a king with a great desire for power, it has incomparable appeal.

"Subconsciousness, how should I put it, what we think and think will affect a person's behavior!
For example, if you are hungry and want to eat something delicious, it is conscious!But in fact, in our psychological activities, there is still a part of our thoughts that we can't even perceive!
For example, our Majesty, as I mentioned, why is he so wary of officials and so hostile to officials?
In fact, if you ask him himself, he may not be able to say why?
But looking back at the past, if you look at His Majesty's life and growth experience, you will probably understand why he is like this!

In fact, in addition to education, a large part of the factors that can shape our behavior patterns and personalities are related to things we can't see.

Don't talk about the emperor, just talk about the kid himself..."

Zhang Yi thought for a while, but decided to speak out:
"I lived in Longhu Mountain since I was a child, but because my father said that I didn't fit in with him, I was isolated and ignored...I said I didn't care, but now my extreme temper, who dares to say that it wasn't formed because of this incident?

Later, I reconciled with my father, and I also knew that he was careful and tried his best to make up for me...

But has the vigilance in my heart really gone?

I'm not sure myself! "

Zhu Yuanzhang was completely silent, indeed,
Before Zhang Yi pointed out that the reason he hated officials came from the night his parents died, he didn’t actually connect these things.

Hate corrupt officials, guard against the scholar-bureaucrat class, and desire to have a family that is different from other emperors...

Maybe it all came from that night!Probably there was a voice in my heart that kept reminding me, but Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hear it.

This is what Zhang Yi said about the subconscious...

Lao Zhu didn't want to get entangled in this issue, which was something he didn't want to face.

"So, how does the subconscious change people's hearts?"

"Change can't be called change, it can only be called subtle guidance!

Still using the emperor as an analogy, we want to achieve a goal, that is, to establish the image of the emperor, how is the official approach?

Increase the mystery of the emperor, publicize the mighty virtue of Emperor Hongwu, let the people feel awe of the emperor, and guide the hearts of the people!
Is this approach good? Of course it is good.
If it's not good, why do you need those people from the Ministry of Rites?

It can be replaced by the means of communication, how to affect the image of the emperor to the people?It's a different method again!

The official method is to symbolize the emperor and prevent him from being a human being; but if we want to publicize the emperor, we must turn him into a human being..."

"Becoming a man?"

"That's right, becoming a human, a mysterious and symbolic emperor will make people awe-inspiring, and becoming a flesh-and-blood emperor will make people feel close!
Since you want to shape a person, he must have a memorable memory point, which can be a foreign code. If you write about the emperor's appearance, no one will remember it, but if you write that he was born with a different appearance, he has a shoehorn face..."

Shoehorn face is hard to pass, right?
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was covered with dark clouds.
