Chapter 383 There is no hero who is not stained with blood
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
The weather is already cold, but today's day by the Zhang River and in Yecheng is destined to be an uneasy day.
Last month, Liu Jian prepared a list of memorials based on the rebellion of the Zhang family, the Sun family in Wei County, and other prominent families in Jizhou, and submitted it to the imperial court, asking for approval according to the law.
As the prime minister, Dong Zhuo naturally understood what Liu Jian meant.
Although he didn't really want to help Liu Jian directly, Dong Zhuo also understood that this was Liu Jian's strategy to use this matter to establish prestige in Hebei and then follow the trend to implement the New Deal. From his own point of view, it was really a good idea.
Do him this favor.
Who aligns the interests of both parties in this matter?
Therefore, the imperial court gave the most severe and clear response to the rebellion reported by Liu Jian.
With the imperial court's instructions, the next thing will be easier to do.
Liu Jian, who came to this world from later generations, understood very well that as a superior, in addition to handling government affairs, developing the military, people's livelihood, science and technology, there is another thing that is very important to a superior.
That is to control the direction of public opinion no matter what.
Public opinion is a very terrible weapon. No matter how good Liu Jian is in people's livelihood, science and technology, if he cannot control public opinion, no matter how many good things he has done for this country and this nation, he may not be able to get what he deserves.
evaluation.
Because the people at the bottom did not know what Liu Jian did from the perspective of a superior, especially the people at the bottom in this era. They have no culture and are accustomed to following what others say. They will follow what others say.
The transmission of information in ancient times was inherently slow, and knowledge was monopolized by high-ranking families, so the power of public opinion was almost always in the hands of high-ranking nobles.
The gentry used their special status to control the direction of public opinion, which became almost an iron rule.
However, due to the limited technical means of control, the high-level nobles of this era were not very clever in controlling public opinion. Of course, this was mainly due to their knowledge and productivity.
These days, one of the most powerful means of communication is the arrangement of "nursery rhymes" and "songs."
But as a later generation, Liu Jian's methods in this regard were much more advanced than those of this era.
"Bad things" like nursery rhymes can produce such great destructive power of public opinion in this era, so Liu Jian is confident that he can completely control the direction of public opinion from the perspective of the government, at least he wants to be superior to the gentry of the state in this matter.
The man behind the Wanmin Banner incident in Dunqiu was actually Liu Jian.
If you think about it carefully, more than a hundred villagers jointly presented the Wanmin Banner to Liu Jian. There must be "capital" behind such a large undertaking.
And this capital is precisely the Animal Husbandry Department led by Liu Jian!
Since last year, Liu Jian has begun to set new rules in Jizhou and come up with many new things.
First of all, it is a system that requires the selection of "advanced model workers" on a monthly basis in groups.
This system is not difficult for each township to complete!
Moreover, the candidates selected for this model worker are those working in the fields.
Every month, one person from each gathering must be selected to become the model farm worker of that month, and the gathering will be recognized and rewarded in public as a unit.
In fact, on the surface, this matter does not seem to be linked to public opinion, but the key point is that the model workers selected every month must speak in public, and their speeches must be filed and recorded, and they will be counted in the county office’s annual quota.
in.
Therefore, this matter has attracted much attention in various county offices.
And once it comes to "speaking", it becomes somewhat interesting.
You said that a model worker from a certain county in a certain county came to the stage to speak in public today. What should he say?
It's very simple, it's all done in a routine.
You have to remember the bitter and think of the sweet first, right?
As a refugee, I originally wandered in other states and counties, and then moved to Jizhou, living by picking up cow dung along the way. However, it was not until Jizhou that I was assigned land, and I guessed that I could live a peaceful life without having to eat cow dung anymore.
Food is now available.
Then what?
Then that is to say, the land outside Hebei is like a hell on earth. Not to mention the bandits and bandits everywhere, the local high-ranking families and local officials wear a pair of trousers and harm the ordinary people. Only after arriving in Hebei can they
Living a human life...
In short, what I want to express is that only Hebei is good in the world, and no place other than Hebei is good.
This kind of speech is given once a month in every gathering in Jizhou, county and countryside.
In addition, Liu Jian also established a live "Ta Kung Pao."
What is "Ta Kung Pao"?
To put it more directly, it is Xinwen Lianbo.
It is just the simplest version of the news broadcast, and it is broadcast on a half-monthly basis.
Of course, in this era there were no televisions or radios, and the news network was only based on village gatherings. Officials from the government offices sent loud-voiced officials to report the major world events in the past half month to the gathered people.
This kind of thing never existed before, and there was absolutely no obligation to disclose the actions and policies of government agencies to the public.
This is the limitation of people's thinking in this era, but Liu Jian did not follow this path.
You have to let the people know what you have done.
You don't have to worry about whether he understands it or not, you have to tell him anyway.
Even if you don't understand, tell him.
Of course, all public news events are processed and compiled by the Animal Husbandry Department.
As soon as the person in charge of the news work came on stage, he made a report to the people in Juli. This year, the growth of grain in Jizhou's jurisdiction has reached such a certain amount, the newly reclaimed land has reached such a certain amount, and the number of farmers working in the fields has reached a certain amount.
, the number of new-born children in Jizhou has reached a certain number.
There is also some news about Liu Jian himself, such as how many Wuhuan people were killed under General Zuo's wise leadership, how many tribes in Xianbei were willing to surrender, and General Zuo himself used his own money to donate money to the poor people Li Shu.
How many grains were produced...
The most important thing is not to forget to publicize how chaotic the states and counties outside Hebei are now.
For example, Yuan Shu himself colluded with more than 40 families in Hebei in order to overthrow General Zuo's rule.
Yuan Shao seized a lot of land from the people in Jingzhou, causing resentment among the people and rebellions.
Over in Liangzhou, Han Sui began to rebel again, and the court was in dire straits.
The Yellow Turbans in Xuzhou caused trouble again, and Tao Qian couldn't control it at all.
Cao Cao stationed in Huainan and planned to march to Jiangdong. During this period, for his own selfish interests, he slaughtered many cities and displaced many people...
Anyway, Hebei is better.
Except for Hebei, look at what kind of chaos is happening in other places now.
In ancient China, the imperial power did not extend to counties. If you want to control public opinion and control the direction of public opinion in administrative units below the county level, you must use some brains.
In terms of controlling the direction of public opinion and setting the pace, Liu Jian's rank in this era is definitely at the level of the King of 100 Stars.
…
This time, all the more than forty tribesmen who rebelled were killed. Although it was a brutal act, because Liu Jian had already reported it to the court and at the same time spread the bad reputation of these people among the people, this massacre was seen by all the people in Hebei.
, is an act of justice.
In fact, Liu Jian can indeed be regarded as a righteous party.
Just after justice defeats evil, it does not mean that evil must be forgiven, that's all.
Who says that the righteous cannot destroy the evil and destroy their families?
There are more than 40 clans, basically all of them are big clans, and nearly 10,000 people are involved in being beheaded.
These more than 10,000 heads will be distributed in major counties and cities in Jizhou and beheaded everywhere.
Before being killed, these people were all tied up and paraded through the streets.
Before the parade, there would be messengers beating gongs to announce their crimes to the onlookers and common people!
In the eyes of all the people in Hebei, these people are the culprits who destroy their peaceful lives, vampires, moths, and monsters that disrupt everyone's normal life!
For their own selfish interests, they do not hesitate to try to subvert the political power in Hebei. They want to make Hebei turn into the kind of ghost that it used to be, where the wealthy families were full of wine and meat, and the streets were frozen to death!!
They want to build their good life on other people's heads.
They deserve to be killed, they deserve to die a thousand times!
During the parade, countless common people and common people surrounded the streets. They poured the stinky mud and filthy soup that they had prepared long ago on the 'devils' who were about to be killed.
"Kill them!"
"There is no place for these thieves!!"
"Confiscate all their land, confiscate it! Farm it! Farm it!"
"Let them spit out everything they have taken by force over the years!!"
"Make them spit it out!!!"
"Chop them into pieces."
"..."
On the flag tower not far away, Liu Jian was holding a wine cup filled with sake.
He shook it gently with his hand, squinted his eyes, and looked at the scene on the street not far away.
He looked at the noble families who were about to be beheaded and cried in despair.
He looked at the people watching, like wild beasts out of their cages, desperately venting their anger and grievances on those who were about to be killed.
Most of the Li Shu people did not know the noble families who were about to be killed, and may not even have heard of their names.
However, at this moment, they are still dumping all the oppression and grievances they have suffered over the years on these people.
Perhaps the people who oppressed them are still there, and they are not the people in front of them, but they still regard these noble families who are about to be killed as sworn enemies, as if they are looking for an outlet.
Why?
"Alas, people don't suffer from scarcity, but from inequality."
Liu Jian drank all the wine in the wine cup and said to Jia Xu next to him.
Jia Xu seemed to be a little touched after hearing Liu Jian's words.
But he didn't speak.
Over the years, the bandits and remnants of the Yellow Turbans in various states and counties across the country have become more and more violent. There are many people who follow the crowd, and most of them rely on the four words "Heaven makes up for the balance" to attract people's hearts.
But listening to Liu Jian's words just now, the four words "how and Tianbu Jingping" are a bit dark?
For some reason, a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in Jia Xu's mind. This thought had no reason and was even a bit ridiculous.
But this idea is still lingering in Jia Xu's mind.
Could it be that the widely rumored "Heavenly Replenishment of Balance" among the Yellow Turbans had anything to do with General Zuo?
However, Jia Xu quickly discarded the distracting thoughts in his mind.
No, this idea is really unbelievable.
If this is true, then General Zuo may really have become a heavenly being.
"My lord, the official has gone downstairs."
Liu Jian did not look back, he just stood on the flag tower and looked at the commotion in the distance.
Then, Liu Jian waved his hand gently.
Jia Xu bowed and saluted and got off the flag tower.
Not long after, Yan Liang came to the flag tower carrying a person with one hand.
He threw a man covered in blood in front of Liu Jian.
It was Sun Qi, the father-in-law of the Sun family of Wei County, who organized more than forty clansmen to join forces with Yuan Shu this time.
His good friend Zhang Yi was scared to death by Zhang Fei.
Sun Qi was later tortured by Zhang Fei and almost killed, but fortunately Liu Jian sent someone to stop him.
Liu Jian slowly turned around with the wine in hand and looked at Sun Qi who was kneeling at his feet.
Sun Qi, covered in blood, raised his head and looked at Liu Jian, who was above him. His face showed an expression of extreme anger and hatred, but also extremely lost.
"Liu Deran! Even if I die, I will never let you go! You thug! You beast! You villain, hypocrite!!"
Before he could finish his words, Yan Liang kicked Sun Qi in the mouth, breaking his two front teeth.
Sun Qi screamed in pain and rolled on the ground.
"Mr. Sun, don't shout like this at the top of your lungs. Winner is king and loser is loser. If you lose, you lose. Keep some dignity for yourself and don't act like you can't afford to lose."
Liu Jian didn't even look at Sun Qi on the ground. He pointed at the crowd in the distance.
"In there, there are your relatives, your friends, your elders, your descendants... To be honest, many of them should not die. They are innocent, but there is no way. They should not die but they have to die.
Do you know who to blame?"
Sun Qi covered his teeth, stared at Liu Jian with burning eyes, and said, "I blame you for being such a villain!"
"No, remember, you were the one who killed them...it was you who forced me to have blood on my hands, you know?"
