How can there be simple characters among people who dare to reach out and grab property everywhere in the capital? When they heard Feng Zhou say this, they naturally understood the meaning of the old string and quickly sent out their close disciples to build a large number of entertainment venues around Xiangyun Ju.
There are everything from brothels and men's houses to casinos. There are even guys who imitate Xiangyunju and open comprehensive entertainment venues. As expected, the business is quite prosperous based on Xiangyunju's popularity. Although the ability to make money is far less than
Although I live in Xiangyun, my annual income of several hundred thousand taels is not a problem.
Feng Zhou told them that as long as they did not exploit the people with usury and did not participate in the purchase of abducted children, then let them run it. No matter how they ran it, they could not surpass Xiangyun Ju.
Although the rich and powerful have many properties, there is no such thing as earning hundreds of thousands taels a year. Naturally, they will not forget Feng Zhou, the well digger, after they get a huge advantage. Although Feng Zhou doesn't care about this, these powerful and powerful people still accept him.
This favor.
As a result, a special entertainment industry street was formed on the street where Xiangyunju is located. It is one of the most prosperous streets in the entire capital. This was something that even Feng Zhou had not thought of before.
Speaking of Xiangyunju, in addition to developing it into a comprehensive entertainment and leisure place, Feng Zhou's most valued feature is naturally its powerful function of guiding public opinion.
As a young Jinshi, Feng Zhou was extremely talented and rose to the top very quickly, which can be said to be unprecedented since the imperial examination system.
But after all, he is too young, and his sudden rise to a high position will inevitably attract the attention of both the government and the public. Countless officials are jealous and hateful of him!
As time went by, all kinds of rumors naturally spread.
Although Feng Zhou didn't care about the influence of these public opinions, since he was an official in the imperial court, he was naturally unwilling to break the rules easily. Not everything could be solved by force.
Therefore, Fengzhou used Xiangyunju to create a strong public opinion position. This place has become the weathervane of the entertainment circle in the capital. Whether it is a new opera, storytelling or cross talk, it will spread throughout the capital in the shortest time, and then spread like the wind.
It quickly spread throughout Gyeonggi and even the entire northern land.
Feng Zhou, who has experienced the bombardment of modern entertainment information, naturally knows that the speed of diffusion of entertainment gossip information is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary mainstream public opinion.
Of course, poems, songs, and songs in the literati circle can be considered popular culture, and they are also a type of entertainment gossip information. Famous songwriters, like modern emperors and superstars, occupy a great advantage in public opinion.
Such as Liu Yong and Tang Bohu, etc.
At this time, Xiangyunju's influence on the public opinion field has far exceeded the public opinion controlled by the literati. Whenever something happens, he is not afraid of a war of public opinion!
After all, no matter how powerful the pens of the literati are, there are only so few of them! After all, they cannot compare to the mouths of the common people.
Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.
A warrior's sword is no match for a literati's pen, but a literati's pen is never as good as a common man's mouth.
The best way to manipulate public opinion is always to use word of mouth from the people.
The Ministry of Industry impeached Zhang Renfeng for treating people harshly when Feng Zhou was regulating the Yellow River, and Zhang Renfeng's jokes immediately spread in the market.
Zhang Renfeng became an official in the Ministry of Industry and returned to his hometown. He saw a friend from his childhood who was living in poverty. He taught him a lesson: "Li Lu, if you want to live a good life, you must learn to work more."
!" Li Lu asked: "How can I work more? The Treasury Ambassador has never sent me."
Zhang Renfeng replied: "Just go to the street in the middle of the night and see if others work overtime and you should work the same way." Li Lu kept this in mind and went out to the street in the middle of the night. He saw only large carriages, small carriages and small carts lined up.
The cars kept driving to the local government's warehouse, and everyone was moving things to their homes. They learned how to "work overtime." Li Lu learned to steal national taxes and soon became rich.
A year later, Li Lu brought a large piece of salted pork to the capital to visit an old friend as a reward for Zhang Renfeng's advice. He came to Zhang Renfeng's Qianfang in the Ministry of Industry, first put the salted pork on the nails on the outer wall, went in and said to Zhang Renfeng
"Brother Zhang, after listening to your guidance, I have become rich. Now I will bring you a piece of salt pork to express my gratitude." After hearing this, Zhang Renfeng quickly asked: "Where is the salt pork?" Li Lu replied on the outdoor wall.
Above. Zhang Renfeng was shocked and said, we also have people working overtime in the Ministry of Works. He immediately opened the door to take a look and found that the salted pork had disappeared.
As soon as this joke came out, it immediately spread throughout the capital. The Ministry of Punishment and the Jin Yiwei teamed up to investigate Zhang Renfeng's property. It was found that his family was extremely wealthy, and many of them had been obtained through corruption and perversion of the law.
So the dignified Ministry of Works fell into trouble and soon ended up in the jail of the Ministry of Punishments, and was finally sentenced to thousands of miles of exile.
In the eighth year of Tianshun, Yuan Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, was squeezed out, and Yingzong's confidant came to power. This man was pampered by his parents and arrogant, and anyone who disobeyed him would often stalk him, arrest him and torture him, so that he could not be questioned without evidence.
Anti-different.
At this time, Feng Zhou came to Beijing, and Menda wanted to humiliate Feng Zhou to establish his prestige. As a result, a joke about him immediately spread among the people.
The governor of Jinyiwei North Town, in charge of the execution of thousands of households, asked Menda for instructions: ""Should the next batch of people be executed before lunch or after lunch?" Menda replied: "Of course it is before lunch, because lunch must be saved to worship Prince Yue.
This joke may sound trivial, but it has a huge influence in the market.
The dignified and well-dressed guards were in command, killing people like crazy, but they didn't even give anyone a meal to eat.
For a time, thousands of people were incited and rushed into Fusi Yamen in Jinyiwei North Town, beating Menda to death.
After Zhu Qizhen, Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, heard the news, he was so shocked that he died of illness.
After these two examples appeared, the entire court's attacks on Feng Zhou suddenly decreased a lot, and the intensity was even less painful.
As a result, Feng Zhou regained a foothold in the capital, and the new emperor Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen quickly promoted him to the position of left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Feng Zhou also became a top boss.
Those who hold high positions in the capital are extremely smart people, so Feng Zhou is already established. No one dares to make trouble for him casually. Even the censor will not easily impeach him unless he has to do so, or if he has something to do with him.
There's a price to pay.
Today's Fengzhou not only has dramas and Xiangyunju, but also various bookstores. In addition to specializing in printing some classics and historical articles, classic works by celebrities over the years, and masterpieces by some great writers, a large part of them are printed
The novel adapted from opera, storytelling and cross talk was not only popular in the market, but also a hot commodity in the back houses of wealthy families. It not only entertained the public but also started a silent publicity campaign.
As Xiangyunju grows and its influence expands, many discerning people have come to ask for help. They want to achieve certain goals through Xiangyunju's public opinion guidance by submitting new songs, storytelling books or cross talk scripts.
Therefore, Feng Zhou stood high and controlled public opinion, completely becoming a chess player.
At this point, even though Feng Zhou was just a left minister of the Ministry of Justice, it was almost impossible for either the emperor or the minister to overthrow Feng Zhou by conventional means.
If you want to use unconventional means, Menda is a lesson learned from the past.
Even if the emperor wanted to hand over the knife, few civil and military officials in the dynasty would dare to take over.
After all, once you take over, not only will your reputation be ruined, but you might even be beaten to death. It’s really not worth the loss!
