After sending Shang Qingle away, Caiwei said:
“The Wuyin Sect’s ambition is not small, and now it seems that its methods are already emerging.
But now that Shen Qixian is here, it may not be easy to stop Wushi San. "
Ye Ming thought about it and said:
"Master Gao has already listened to my opinion and issued an order prohibiting the sale of this product in the four provinces in the south.
But it only changed from light to dark, and the secret transactions continued.
It needs to be traded secretly and destroyed. "
"Just destroying it is not enough. This thing is highly addictive and can easily make people dependent. We also need a way to get rid of it."
Caiwei analyzed this.
Hearing this, Ye Ming thought about it and said:
"It is extremely difficult to quit this thing, and the process of quitting must be very painful, so we need to have a foolproof strategy."
Luyi felt that he needed to express his presence and tried to say:
"Just drive the Wuyin Cult people out of the Southern Fourth Prefecture. Anyway, they have now become the state religion of the State of Shen, and they are enemies with Mr. Gao and the others.
In this case, it is reasonable to drive them away. "
Ye Ming smiled and said:
"Your idea is a bit too rough. It would have been fine a few months ago.
But I'm afraid not now. "
"Why?"
"In the past year, Wuyin Sect has attracted a large number of followers in the four southern prefectures and has taken root. However, most of the followers are just ordinary people who don't know the truth.
If we rashly drive away the Five-tone Sect, what should we do with these people? "
"Isn't it enough to just drive away their senior leaders?"
"Then what happens when the higher-ups outside secretly incite large-scale riots among the congregation?"
"this......"
Green Yi couldn't answer, and then he realized that the enemy seemed to have gained momentum.
This made her a little unhappy and said:
"Master Gao and the others are really right. They should have driven them away directly when they realized that there was a problem with the Wuyin Sect.
Keep it until now, the tail will not fall off! "
Caiwei smiled and said, "You can't blame Master Gao and the others for this.
It should be noted that people's lives are inherently difficult, and there is nothing for entertainment every day.
The existence of Wuyinjiao brought various performances, which played a great role in calming the hearts of ordinary people and promoting the positive image of the government.
Master Gao and the others took this into account, so they did not choose to drive away the Wuyin Sect.
As for the Wuyin Sect, so far, they have not had any problems with their publicity for Master Gao and others in the Southern Fourth Prefecture.
Naturally, such a useful sect cannot be abandoned easily. "
"Huh? It's so complicated~~"
Luyi felt a big headache. These guys were obviously enemies, but when she said that, it didn't seem to be completely true, which made her confused.
Ye Ming smiled and explained:
"Everything in the world is never black and white, and the Wuyin Sect is not of the same mind as Shen Guo, it's just because the other party gives them more benefits.
The existence of the Five Tonality Sect itself is also beneficial to us, so naturally it cannot be killed with one shot. "
After being explained by Ye Ming, Lu Yi somewhat understood.
She is not stupid, she is just often led into ditches by gods who like to tease people.
"Then how should we deal with this matter?"
After realizing the complexity of the problem, Lu Yi also looked a little sad.
She really has no temper for this kind of opponent who cannot be solved directly by force.
Caiwei thought and said:
“If we launch a large-scale publicity campaign on the harmful effects of the Five Stones Scatter and initiate massive boycotts, the effect will naturally be achieved, but the manpower and material resources required to continue the attack are not small.
We have only experienced two epidemics now, are about to face a drought, and there are major external threats, so I am afraid it will not work. "
Several people discussed for a while, but couldn't come up with a solution for a while, so they called Zhao Ning and others to discuss together.
Everyone has put forward many methods, which if implemented, will definitely be effective, but the cost is a bit high, and they are not suitable at this time of year.
Ye Ming took a look at Yao Jiandong's vacant position and thought that if this guy was here, he might give some unsophisticated suggestions.
At this moment, Yao Jiandong came back from outside.
Seeing that everyone was discussing something, he explained:
"I was just catching a profiteer soul who wanted to avoid punishment. I came late."
Everyone didn't take it seriously and just let him sit down to discuss the matter.
But Ye Ming's eyes lit up.
profiteer, businessman, merchant...
Seeing his sudden expression, Caiwei asked:
"Have you thought of a solution?"
Ye Ming nodded and said with a smile:
"Yes, since doing these things is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and they have to be maintained all the time, which costs a lot of money, then just let others do it."
"If you let others do it, who will do it?"
"Naturally let the wealthy gentry in Yanhua Prefecture do it together."
"These people won't move without enough benefit."
"Then let them see the benefits."
Ye Ming said with a smile, his expression a little unpredictable.
Seeing this, the man in green on the side immediately knew that this guy must have failed to hold his fart in well.
But he couldn't help but asked curiously:
"Don't show off, just tell me what you can do!"
“Didn’t I already see the formula of Five Stone Powder before?
Then you can do it yourself. "
"Do it yourself? Are you crazy? Why are you doing such a harmful thing?"
"Who said I was going to make a real five-stone piece?"
"You mean it's fake?"
"To be precise, we have to do both the real thing and the fake thing."
Ye Ming smiled and said something that made everyone feel confused.
Afterwards, the discussion was over, and Ye Ming took Caiwei and Lu Yi to find a partner.
...
Mr. Lu is almost seventy-eight years old this year. At this age, for many people, they have already lived in the soil for many years.
Compared to a few of his peers who live a long life, this one is in quite good condition. Despite his age, his waist doesn't hurt, his legs don't hurt, and his eyesight doesn't hurt. He is even in the mood to have fun with his young concubines occasionally.
This state is really quite enviable.
What's even more enviable is that the previous two epidemics didn't even harm a hair on this person's body.
Only when I was given the "cowpox" to prevent smallpox at the end, I got a shot.
As the most representative of the gentry and landlords in the four southern prefectures, Lu Yuanwai now follows Gao Xide's policies in everything.
When people asked how to do it, he took the lead in mobilizing the rich and powerful people to support it.
Firstly, he has a reputation for being charitable, and secondly, it is to ensure the stability of his family.
His two previous escapes from Yanhua Mansion had left a deep psychological shadow on him.
He was older now and didn't want to suffer like that again.
Sitting in the study, he heard the news that Shen Qixian founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor. Even though he was well-informed, he was a little stunned.
He had been in a daze until this moment, when he finally regained his composure.
Yes, logically speaking, Xu State died a few years ago, but he still thought that Xu State was still there!
After sighing for a while, he just sighed silently.
I plan to read the books of sages and calm down my mood.
As a result, after reading for a while, Fang's eyes felt heavy and he couldn't help but fall asleep on the desk.
Fang Jie fell asleep, and then fell into a trance. Looking around again, he didn't know when he was in a sea of flowers.
There was a pavilion in front of him, and under the pavilion there was a handsome and elegant man, looking at him with a smile.
Lu Yuanwai, who had seen the Ye Ming statue many times, immediately recognized this young man as the City God of Yanhua Prefecture. Feeling a little frightened, he stepped forward and said:
"Little old man Lu Dingchang has met Lord Cheng Huang."
(The former Chenghuang was the ancestor of the Lu family, named Lu Dingchang.)
As he spoke, he was about to bow down to the person in front of him.
Seeing this, Ye Ming, who was originally calm and composed, suddenly appeared in front of Mr. Lu. He stretched out his hand to support the man and prevent him from bowing:
"The old gentleman is too outsider. When I was young, I was supported by the old gentleman's money. Later, I became a city god. I also received the old gentleman's full support. Only then did I get to where I am today. I cannot accept your worship."
He casually cited the obvious reasons and successfully fooled this person into not insisting on bowing down anymore.
Invite him to sit under the pavilion, wave his hand, and a group of butterflies will offer him tea.
Member Lu was stunned for a moment by this magical trick, and couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
Ye Ming smiled and comforted him a few more words.
After all, Yuan Wai Lu came out of a career full of ups and downs, and he adapted quickly.
After a while, he calmed down and asked:
"Sir, you came to see me, but what's your explanation?"
"I don't take it seriously. I just want to give the old gentleman a fortune."
"Wealthy?"
When Lu Yuanwai heard this, he didn't care about Ye Ming's words about wealth, but just doubted his purpose.
Seeing his micro-expression and inner mood swings, Ye Ming knew that this person was not easy to fool, so he simply stopped fooling him and directly informed him of his plan.
His plan is initially divided into three steps.
The first step is to make a large amount of the True Five Stone Powder and add medicinal materials with an unbearable stench into the Five Sounds Sect True Five Stone Powder to ruin its reputation.
The second step is to produce a large number of improved Wushisan with cut corners, pass it off as good, sell it cheaply, and make profits while cooperating with Plan 1 to jointly destroy the existing reputation of Wushisan.
The third step is to use nursery rhymes, scripts, sad stories, etc. to publicize the shortcomings of Wu Shi San and once again ruin its reputation.
These three steps must all be coordinated by those who have joined the Five Sound Cult.
This is actually very simple, because the middle and lower levels of Wuyin Sect are already mixed with people, and Wu Shi Powder needs to be sold in large quantities, and it cannot do without these people.
Therefore, it is very easy to bribe and instigate some middle and low-level people to rebel.
After listening to Ye Ming's plan, Yuan Yu was silent for a while, and then said:
"It seems that your Excellency plans to completely eliminate these Five Stones.
Well, I thought this thing was not a good thing before and never took it. Now I can defeat it, which is good. "
Ye Ming smiled and said:
"Xiaosheng will not take any of the proceeds from selling counterfeit medicines. Old sir, you can just watch and distribute them."
Yuan Wai understood that this meant putting himself in charge of this matter.
But he didn't have any objection. As long as something was beneficial, those wealthy gentry would definitely do it without wasting the government's manpower and material resources.
Moreover, once everyone knows the harmful effects of Wushi Powder, they probably won’t dare to continue taking it, and will most likely force themselves to quit.
After all, what rich people fear most is death.
Just the fact that one's life span will be shortened after taking it is enough to frighten these people.
Of course, this must be exposed by someone with enough prestige, otherwise it will not convince the public.
Everyone will just think you are alarmist.
This matter naturally requires Yuan Wai Lu to personally stand up and explain. With his appeal, it must be very useful.
I believe that with these three tricks, it will not be difficult to solve the problem of five stones scattered.
After discussing the specific details with Yuan Wai Lu, he was asked to wake up.
After Lu Yuanwai woke up from the study, he immediately started making arrangements to fight against Wu Shisan.
In the sky outside the Lu Mansion, Ye Ming and the others witnessed the actions below.
Luyi glared at him with a bad expression, and held Caiwei's arm with a calm expression.
She didn't expect that this guy would ask Yuan Lu for help.
Since the last time Caiwei and Yuan Lu had a falling out, the father and daughter had never seen each other again.
Member Lu didn't even ask about the situation of this son and daughter. He just pretended that there was no such person in the Lu family.
Seeing Lu Yi's sullen expression, Caiwei smiled and comforted:
"Okay, Lu Yi, there's nothing to be angry about. My surname is Wen, and my mother is Sui, and she has only one relative.
The most I can do when I come back is to see my mother. "
Hearing this, Lu Yi nodded, suddenly grabbed Ye Ming's arm, stared at him and said:
"I remember you said that if no one in the world looks down on women, you must do it!"
"When did I..."
Before Ye Ming finished speaking, he felt Lu Yi pinching harder.
"Hi~~ I said it, I remembered it, I said it, I said it!"
Caiwei smiled and stopped Lu Yi's movements and said:
"This matter still needs the efforts of all the women in the world, including you and me. It's not right to just force Ming like this."
"Um~ What Miss said is that we all need to contribute."
Ye Ming also smiled and said:
"I promise not to be lazy on this matter."
