Does this guy have a loud voice?
Zhu Yuanzhang was very interested and wanted to hear what Zhang Yi said?
Using Longhu Mountain, choosing Yangzhou, and achieving the purpose of publicity through epidemic prevention in an epidemic area are the best methods Zhu Yuanzhang could think of.
Does this kid have any better methods?
"What do you think……"
Lao Zhu couldn't help but sit up straight, and the others also pretended to be listening.
Zhang Yidao:
"Actually, if I were left to think on my own, I might not be able to come up with a better idea than Your Majesty, but since Your Majesty is there, I can follow His Majesty's ideas and use some evil methods!"
"We can understand the difficulties His Majesty faces and the hopes His Majesty wants to achieve...
Your Majesty's difficulties: 1. Now that the Ming Dynasty has just been established, the people's hearts are unstable and the people do not trust the government;
Secondly, the concept of vaccination itself is difficult to be accepted by the people;
Thirdly, Your Majesty is afraid that if the implementation continues, officials will not be able to perform effectively, make it difficult to implement the decree, and engage in fraud;
Fourth: Your Majesty is afraid that good things will turn into bad things because of officials' random behavior, which will damage the prestige of the government! "
Zhang Yi listed the difficulties of promoting vaccination one by one, and others nodded.
These things were all analyzed by Liu Bowen, and they agreed with them very much.
"Now that we know the pain point, let's see how His Majesty solves it, and what effect he expects to achieve?"
Zhang Yi continued:
"As for the first and second issues, Your Majesty has put the solution on Longhu Mountain. Since the people lack education, use the way of gods to guide them. Longhu Mountain has prestige among the people. This is a good thing. solve!
The third and fourth points are that the problem lies with the imperial court. Local officials are ineffective in governing and deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates is a common problem in officialdom in all dynasties. If Your Majesty really rolls out the vaccination method, just as Master Liu said, bullying will Concealing the truth from above and putting people in danger for the sake of assessment will almost certainly happen.
But after His Majesty chose the location in Yangzhou, he only focused on one local government office, so he didn’t have to worry about chaos from below! "
"After the problem is solved, we can look at His Majesty's expectations..."
"His Majesty's expectations are, firstly, to promote vaccination to save the people from the suffering of smallpox. What he hopes for, first of all, is to be kind to the people and quickly win their hearts. Secondly, he hopes that this will be his mark in history in the future. An important political achievement...
To accomplish this goal, this matter must be handled quickly and effectively!
So His Majesty chose Yangzhou..."
Zhang Yi peeled things off, and everyone present could clearly sort out the thinking behind the emperor's decision.
As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao was the one who benefited the most. Others might just listen to the excitement, but Zhang Yi made him understand his father's thoughts on current affairs.
This is something that even if Zhu Yuanzhang teaches by words and deeds, he may not explain it in such detail.
"Why Yangzhou?"
Zhang Yi raised this question and asked everyone to think about it.
Who knows about Yangzhou in Chinese history?
Once the world’s largest city,
The old friend left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and Yangzhou, where fireworks were lit in March, has gradually declined.
Zhu Yuanzhang took over Yangzhou from the Tsing Yi Army ten years ago. The city of Yangzhou, which once had a population of hundreds of thousands, has been killed until only eighteen families are left.
Yangzhou City is the epitome of the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. The world that Zhu Yuanzhang took over from the Yuan Dynasty can really only be described as a mess.
But after Zhu Yuanzhang took over Yangzhou, he continued to migrate people to Yangzhou and strengthen Yangzhou.
If nothing else, Yangzhou City, located on the edge of the Grand Canal, is a transportation hub. There is an indescribable reason for this.
Yangzhou City was also a famous city that witnessed the historical changes of the Han people.
Governing Yangzhou well can be regarded as setting an example for the world.
Zhu Yuanzhang's choice of Yangzhou may not necessarily have this meaning.
"Because Your Majesty has been migrating the people, it is not surprising that there is a plague in Yangzhou City!
After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic. One of the most important reasons is population movement...
This time His Majesty chose Yangzhou as the capital of the state where the incident occurred. Firstly, he wanted to use Yangzhou's reputation to give the incident a good name. Secondly, Yangzhou itself is a transportation hub with a large number of merchants... His Majesty wanted to take advantage of Yangzhou's convenience to spread the news. Spread throughout the world!
Therefore, in Yangzhou, the imperial court must do a good job in promoting the vaccination method. As long as it is done well, as the merchants spread the news, and the vaccination method is promoted later, the resistance will be much smaller..."
"That's right!"
Zhu Biao couldn't help but echoed, and immediately glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, who also nodded slightly.
Zhang Yi was very organized and sorted out his purpose, which was indeed good, but this guy said he could do better than himself.
So what does he want to do?
Seeing everyone staring at him, Zhang Yi chuckled.
"Now that His Majesty's purpose has been sorted out, we also understand His Majesty's purpose. Regarding how to deal with the vaccination method, this kid can't get involved, but how to spread the vaccination method, I think we can add some drama..."
"Additional drama?"
Everyone looked at each other, Zhang Yi's words made people confused.
"In the Book of Heaven, I read that there will be a subject in the future called communication... I won't go into details about the content, but there is a piece of knowledge about the spread of information that I have remembered!"
Once Zhang Yi said that what he wanted to talk about came from the future, everyone was no longer sleepy.
"Which sentence, what does it mean?"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help asking, Zhang Yida said:
"Uncle, do you know what is the fastest and most widespread thing in the world?"
"What?"
"rumor!"
Zhang Yi gave an answer that no one could guess. What the hell are rumors?
Could it be that Zhang Yi meant to let them spread rumors?
"Don't underestimate the power of rumors. Just like when we read history, is it interesting to have official history or unofficial history?
Aren’t those people who write unofficial history just spreading rumors? But in the market, is there a market for rumors about romance, or for serious historical materials?
Also, if there is a person, should we describe him as having a dignified appearance that is easy for people to remember, or should we describe him as having buck teeth, protruding eyes, and a shoehorned face that is easier to remember? "
"the latter!"
Zhu Yuanzhang listened with rapt attention and couldn't help but answer Zhang Yi's question.
Suddenly, his face turned ugly, like a shoehorn?
Lao Zhu suddenly remembered a certain dusty memory!
Damn it, the emperor hasn’t caught the rumor maker named Zhang Han yet. He must ask Gao Jianxian to work harder and find the rumor maker later!
He was no longer in a good mood, nor did he have a good look towards Zhang Yi:
"What kind of evil is this? The emperor promoted the method of vaccination, and he acted royally and uprightly. If this method was used by the emperor, wouldn't it stain the emperor's reputation?"
Zhang Yi wasn't angry when he heard this, but he didn't admit defeat with his mouth:
"The emperor will do what is kingly, but I am a villain, but then again, does your majesty really have the authority to do what is kingly?
The uncle felt that this method was despicable, but he never thought about where these methods evolved from? It’s not like His Majesty has never used them before, but he never thought that these methods could be used on the people and propaganda! "
"art of war!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was reminded by Zhang Yi, and it was like an enlightenment!
