The content of the following story is very simple. The young villager in the storyteller's mouth felt something was wrong the more he thought about it. Finally, he found an opportunity to go to the town and ask his relatives carefully about the policy content.
As a result, I was shocked to find that the content was completely different from what the officials preached.
The words are still the same, but the tone and intonation of the person reading them are different, and the content is completely changed due to deletions and omissions.
The young villagers were very surprised, and finally quietly returned to the village and quietly informed the villagers of the news. In the end, all the villagers united as one and fought for their own rights.
As for whether the content of such a story is true or not, you will know just by looking at the reactions of the audience. At least most of the villagers showed strange expressions.
The faces of the village chief and village elder who were responsible for the reception were not so good.
There is no way, the content of Mr. Storyteller's story is aimed at them.
As for whether the village chief and village elders are overbearing or do not give the villagers a chance to resist, it depends on what the villagers themselves think.
The key is, do they have the courage to stand up and fight for their own rights?
This is the story template of the yeoman farmer. Naturally, the tenant farmer has another template.
As for the tenants, the so-called whip method has little effect on them.
According to the storyteller, the benefits after the implementation of the whipping method can only be enjoyed by farmers who own land, and then by landlords and the like.
Tenants have to pay high land rent, but some conscientious landowners may just let the tenants make up for the loss from physical goods to money.
As for the more sinister landlords, they directly increase the cost of land rent, and the tenants will pay in the end anyway.
In the storyteller's propaganda story, it was also a young and strong tenant who was not willing to accept the good governance of the court. As a result, all the benefits were taken by the landlord, and he had to pay an extra expense, and he was immediately unhappy.
Naturally, the result was that he was beaten instead of resisting and was almost maimed.
In anger, the young tenant refused to listen to the dissuasion of his parents, relatives and friends, and immediately quit farming. Instead, he took his whole family to Tongzhou Wharf to make a living.
The result turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Because the young tenants were brave enough to work hard and had a bright mind, they gradually became famous in Tongzhou Pier. The original embarrassment was gradually replaced by a well-off society.
The villagers were fascinated by what they heard, especially the story of the young tenants' struggle at the dock, which was recorded verbatim for fear that they would not remember it.
Many of the doorways in the propaganda stories still exist in reality, and there are only more and no less. How could the lower-level villagers find out in the past?
There are also opportunities for employment that were difficult for villagers to access in the past.
In short, try to make the information as detailed and simple as possible in the promotional story, so that the audience can easily remember it.
The effect of this wave of publicity can be described as amazing.
It's similar to the movie "Going to the Countryside" after liberation. Whether it's a good movie or a bad movie, there are certain plots that the audience can recite the lines by heart after just one viewing.
The current scene is even more exaggerated. At this time, the isolation of the countryside is much more serious than later, and the entertainment life of the lower-class villagers can be said to be lacking.
Having the opportunity to hear Mr. Shu telling stories was so positive and exciting that the whole village was as lively as a festival.
Moreover, it is not a propaganda team that comes, but a new propaganda team that comes every once in a while. The purpose is to make the villagers remember the content of the whipping law and the actual payment method.
Due to the lack of entertainment life, the stories told by the storytellers in the propaganda team would definitely be yelled at by the audience in modern times. They are similar to the studio-like running stories, but they still make the villagers listen with gusto and feel very unhappy.
The protagonist in the story has the same identity as them, either a farmer or a tenant. They all enjoyed the benefits of the whipping law promulgated by the imperial court in similar ways.
The other thing is to publicize the recruitment issues in Tongzhou and Jinmen, and tell the villagers not to worry or be afraid. If they really can't survive in the village, they can go work outside to make money.
Now, the interest of the villagers became even stronger, and each one of them was eager to try and imitate the postures of the characters in the story.
Such an atmosphere made the local village chief and village elders so depressed that they almost vomited blood, but they were helpless and did not dare to take any action.
The propaganda team sent by the government is blatantly encouraging the villagers not to listen to them blindly. What can the village chief and the village elders do?
They are just clan leaders in a small village, and they are nothing outside the world.
Faced with a government that suddenly became very tough, no matter how much dissatisfaction and complaints there were in their hearts, they did not dare to express them in front of the propaganda team.
Even after the incident, asking acquaintances in the government office to inquire about the situation would not produce any happy results for them.
The petty officials in the yamen are still confused themselves, how dare they give any verbal guarantee to the "old relationship"?
Those who really have the courage to make a little splash are the wealthy landlords in the two places who have a little bit of strength but are still unable to meet the tax exemption policy.
It's a pity that their previous relationships in the yamen were all useless. The four major Jinling families here were determined, and it was useless for anyone to intercede.
What's even better is that the test point of a whip method is in Tongzhou and Jinmen, at the feet of the upright emperor.
As long as it is said that the matter is too big, but now he personally ordered it to be handled properly, and sent many secret agents to observe the situation, even the wealthy landlords with certain backstage background did not dare to act rashly.
This is the really powerful thing. Today's big guys don't really care about the trial of a whip method.
However, the being who cared very much about a whip technique could not reach the current level of energy, so he could only reluctantly obey the commands of Wang Ziteng and Lian Er.
Just kidding, in the face of today's special concerns, how can ordinary local powerful people dare to be stubborn and not afraid of death?
In short, the one-whip method has been well publicized in the experimental areas of Jinmen and Tongzhou, and it will be put into practical use after the autumn harvest.
Wang Ziteng, who is responsible for presiding over the overall situation, feels very relaxed and does not feel the overwhelming pressure that he imagined.
There were indeed many unkind glances and various unpleasant remarks from the court, but they could not hurt him in the slightest.
In addition, with the increase in the number of sea-going ships traveling to and from the south in Tianjin Port, a large amount of goods from the north and the south have accumulated in the port, making the development of the port very rapid.
With the completion of the first horse-drawn track dedicated to freight transportation and its putting into use, the port's freight operation speed has suddenly accelerated, and the future is quite bright.
Wang Ziteng's mood became better and better day by day with the rapid expansion of Jinmen and the port...
