Hearing this, the smile on Niu Mancun's face immediately disappeared, and instead showed a ruthless look! He said: "The director is right, I have been waiting for the opportunity to return to Shanxi! That damn Lord

The book has ruined my whole family, I must avenge this!"

Liu Jiang stood up slowly, paced on the ground and said: "You can take revenge, but you have to remember one thing clearly! That is, it is absolutely not allowed to affect your mission! If revenge affects the mission,

You know the consequences!"

Niu Mancun, who was full of hatred, was shaken back to his original state by Liu Jiang's words and broke into a cold sweat. He would never dare to go against Liu Jiang's will! But this time Liu Jiang gave him a clear warning! This

It means that I definitely lost my temper just now!

His gaffe must have fallen into Liu Jiang's eyes. This means that Liu Jiang's trust in him has decreased. If his trust decreases, his authority will shrink, and it will be impossible to use the power of the Intelligence Bureau to find his father and his family.

brother!

So Niu Mancun immediately bowed and said: "Don't worry, Director, I know what I know!"

Liu Jiang stared at Niu Mancun for another moment and then said: "You'd better know what you're doing! Sit down."

After speaking, Liu Jiang turned around and returned to his seat. Niu Mancun couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. After the two sat down, Liu Jiang told Niu Mancun Liu Pei's request in detail, and then said: "Say

Tell me, do you have any ideas?"

In order to make up for his mistake just now, Niu Mancun kept racking his brains while listening to Liu Jiang's narration. Now Liu Jiang asked a question, Niu Mancun hesitated for a moment, organized his language and said slowly: "Actually,

It is not difficult for the family to open up the northwest trade route. We only need to send people to get through a few key officials. This can be done with the help of local businessmen. The difficult thing is how to transport the horses back! However, there are problems along the way.

It’s a lot, but it’s not something that can’t be solved. It’s still a matter of money after all.”

Having said this, Niu Mancun looked up at Liu Jiang's expression. But when he saw Liu Jiang's unmoving expression, he continued: "The most difficult thing is actually the second thing. In fact, the second thing the head of the family told me is

It is divided into two parts. The first is to make the people believe that there is a way to survive in Shandong if there is a disaster in the future. The second is to build supply points on the road. In comparison, building supply points is simpler, because most of the supply points

It definitely coincides with our trade route. We only need to set up a few points on the trade route and reserve some supplies. The difficult thing is how to make the people trust us and go to Shandong. After saying this small interjection, the family owner is convinced

Will Shaanxi and Shanxi experience consecutive droughts?”

Liu Jiang squinted his eyes and said: "Remember, don't say similar words again in the future! The head of the family

Whatever is told, we will do it! Let me tell you one more thing. So far, the head of the family has told me to arrange things in advance, and I have never missed them!"

Niu Mancun was shocked when he heard this! Liu Pei's height in his heart increased even more! So he thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if the director has ever thought of using nursery rhymes or something like that?"

Liu Jiang frowned and said thoughtfully: "Using nursery rhymes? What you want to say are children's prophecies, right?"

Nursery rhymes in modern society are children's songs, which are mainly targeted at young children. In ancient times, there were two types of nursery rhymes. One was children's songs, and the other was political prediction songs.

When we read ancient books, such as "Twenty-Four Histories", "Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", it is not difficult to find that there is a kind of nursery rhyme that reflects political prophecy, and the standard version is prophecy.

What is a prophecy? It is what superstitious people refer to as words that will be fulfilled later. In layman’s terms, it means words that are spoken in advance and fulfilled later.

In primitive society, many complex natural and social phenomena are elusive, especially many accidental, coincidental and frequent events that are often difficult to explain. The thoughts of "ghosts and gods" take advantage of this, so people always think that every

Everyone is controlled by a mysterious force, which is called "ghosts".

Therefore, since primitive society, people have begun to believe in and fear "ghosts and gods". In the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this custom became more legalized. Because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty valued the Confucian Dong Zhongshu, he "disregarded hundreds of schools of thought and respected only Confucianism." Dong Zhongshu used Confucian patriarchal law

With thought as the center, mixed with the Yin Yang and Five Elements theories, a feudal theological system was formed. The center of the system was the so-called "influence between heaven and man" and "divine right of kings".

Politicians use the names of ghosts and gods for certain political purposes. On the one hand, they come forward or instruct their subordinates to claim that they are the descendants of a certain celebrity (for example, Liu Bei is known as the emperor's uncle, "After the victory of Emperor Zhongshan Jing, the son of Han Jing",

"). But this alone is not enough. They are also eager to seek help from the gods and ghosts of destiny. They all want to use nursery rhymes and prophecies to prove that they are appointed by heaven, so as to deceive the people and try to consolidate their rule.

Historically, the types of political nursery rhymes can be divided into four categories: foreboding nursery rhymes, political attitude nursery rhymes, military strategy nursery rhymes and uprising public opinion nursery rhymes. For example, before the uprising, Chen Sheng pretended to be Qin Shihuang's son Fusu.

("Now I sincerely claim that we are deceitfully claiming to be the princes Fusu and Xiang Yan, singing for the world, and it is appropriate for more people to respond"); on the other hand, it creates political public opinion that is in line with God's will (it is written in the Dan Dynasty on silk: "King Chen Sheng", setting people

The fish was found in the belly of the fish. The soldier bought the fish and cooked it, and found a book in the fish's belly, which was considered strange. Wu Guang was also ordered to hold a bonfire at night in the nearby Cong Temple.

"

).

Another example is that the poems written before the Yellow Turban Rebellion were also intended to create political opinions that were in line with God's will - "The sky is dead, and the Yellow Turban will stand; when the year is Jiazi, the world will be prosperous"! This means: the Han Dynasty should perish, and the Yellow Turban Uprising should replace it.

, in the sixth year of Zhongping, the year when the rebel army rose up, the world would be at peace.

During the Fang La uprising, on the one hand, he used religion (Mingjiao) to incite rebellion, and on the other hand, he threw out the poem "Tui Bei TU" to show that it was in line with God's will for him to become emperor - "Ten thousand plus a little, I will be honored at the end of winter. Zongheng

After crossing the Zhejiang River, it was revealed in Wuxing! It means "ten thousand (equal to ten thousand) plus a little" is the word Fang; "We start calling you Zun at the end of winter". When the winter moon is over, it is La (month); when you call Zun,

Nai Nan is the king. It corresponds to the word Fang La. The last two sentences mean that I occupy eight counties in the south of the Yangtze River, separated by the natural gorge of the Yangtze River, and how much worse than Huaixi. Huang Chao, Li Zicheng and Hong Xiuquan also used similar tactics in their rebellion.

In addition to being used for political propaganda of uprisings, nursery rhymes and prophecies can also be used by politicians to overthrow figures in the court or persecute someone as a theoretical basis. For example, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, when Dong Zhuo rebelled and people were miserable, politicians made up nursery rhymes---"

Thousand Miles of Grass (Dong), He Qingqing! Ten days of divination (Zhuo), no life!". It probably means that Dong Zhuo will die!

In order to kill Song Jiang, Huang Wenbing in "Water Margin" made up a nursery rhyme - "The country is wasted because of its trees, and the water works are destroyed by weapons. Thirty-six men and women spread chaos in Shandong." It probably means that Song Jiang is entangled in three

Sixteen gangsters rebelled in Shandong and brought trouble to the imperial court. They then used nursery rhymes and prophecies to arrest Song Jiang and bring him to justice.

Thinking of this, Liu Jiang couldn't help but rub his aching head. Historical dynasties have always been very taboo about prophecies! Once a prophecy appears, the government will use all means to track it down, and they will never be polite! If such a prophecy occurs,

Will this situation bring trouble to the family owner’s great cause?

Liu Jiang also told Niu Mancun about this worry. Niu Mancun hesitated for a moment and said: "Director, those prophecies in history you mentioned are basically related to rebellion and murder. But our prophecy is to save people!

Besides, if we act secretly, the government may not be able to find us."

After thinking carefully about the pros and cons, Liu Jiang said: "Not only should we use prophecies, but we should also send people to pretend to be monks and Taoist priests to spread similar news. Let people remember that there is a big disaster and remember to go east when they can't survive.

News! Just make a plan based on this idea and let me see."

Niu Mancun was overjoyed after hearing this! He tried hard to suppress the ecstatic look on his face, stood up, saluted Liu Jiang and then left. Just when he walked to the door, Liu Jiang's voice came from behind him and said: "
Chapter completed!
