As reading of newspapers became popular in Port Saint-Vincento, the literacy rate of the craftsmen and sailors here has improved gratifyingly. Every day when the sun goes down and they go off to work, they no longer worry about whether the Holy King is a Holy King or not——
But this does not mean that the craftsmen and sailors of Port Saint-Vincent are no longer entangled, but they are... more entangled in how to make a living in the future and how to continue to make money, especially the way to make big money.
Under the surface of all this, in addition to news from various parties and small articles about local customs and customs, the popular newspapers and periodicals in the Port Saint-Victoria area quietly contain many seemingly ordinary things compared to newspapers and periodicals in other places.
Information...that is, local specialties, delicacies and costumes...the proportion on the page is at least three times higher than that of many other places. Generally speaking, no matter what the content in newspapers and periodicals, no matter what newspapers and magazines and local people
There is much cooperation between rural farmers and workshop owners. After all, the main content is still serious articles, which are local chronicles such as mountains, rivers, customs and customs.
And such strange changes...
Of course it was not that no one noticed. It was not Li Sheng who brought this group of Panyu craftsmen to Hangzhou. There were also many grassroots cadres from Panyu government offices and Chang'an. They were all intellectuals, so-called people of insight.
Cadres who can follow Li Er, or put it another way, can help Li Er ascend to the big position, all have very good grammar skills. In the common saying, they have good emotional intelligence and can distinguish the hidden meanings and subtexts in various words——
Of course, such a group of people also noticed the content in the newspapers of Port Saint-Victoria. There was something unusual about it. But...
That's what I say, but this is Port Sainte after all - a port that will be built into a commercial port in the future. And a commercial port... It is not surprising that there are more information about rare and rare objects in newspapers and periodicals. It is very reasonable.
.
Thinking about it this way, although these subtle anomalies in newspapers and periodicals were noticed, they were eventually ignored.
...But its significance has been ignored, and its hidden effect has been exerting energy, affecting the spiritual vision of the craftsmen and sailors of Port Saint-Jermain. Just less than a month later...
The first symbolic change occurred in Port Saint-Vincent. A man was caught and turned to the government office for stealing. Theft and robbery are not new things. They happen everywhere in the world, but this time...
…but it caused a lot of discussion.
Because the person who stole this was one of the craftsmen who came from Panyu and followed Li Sheng south. Originally, this group of people worked on projects with Li Sheng, which is similar to the simple values of the Chinese people.
He had received a higher education and was a promising person, but he didn't expect to be caught for stealing, which was beyond people's expectations.
Logically speaking, this matter cannot be left alone. Good guy, a protégé of a dignified boss, is now committing theft. Wouldn’t this be an embarrassment to His Majesty the Holy King? Besides, the craftsmen who worked with Li Sheng,
No matter how you think about it, the future is promising - this is not a stereotype, but it is really promising, because the profits of music boxes are too exaggerated, and with this kind of experience, what can I do in the future that will not make me rich?
As for the officials in the yamen who were reported to have been stolen, they were also quite confused. After some exchanges, they all sighed, feeling that people's hearts are indeed too easily corrupted.
but……
It was this incident that everyone was lamenting,
However, no one realized that this was not an isolated incident, but had structural motivations behind it... After sighing, the matter was forgotten.
After all, in the final analysis, this is really not an easy-to-remember case. There is no bloodshed or bitterness. It is just a very ordinary person who has a problem with his mind and does bad things. However...
At this moment when everyone was relaxed, there was no one watching everything closely.
Needless to say, this person watching is naturally Comrade Li Qizhi, a well-known outstanding young man.
This guy keeps an eye on this matter all day long, because whether Wu Xing Qi Wang can collect people for his own use depends on this wave.
In fact, displaying all kinds of rare and luxurious items in newspapers and periodicals is actually part of the plan. The key to everything... is to make these craftsmen enter a state of extreme hunger and thirst for money, and have a mentality of using any means necessary.
To put it bluntly, gambling houses serve this purpose, and the former can actually have a certain effect, allowing the gang of thieves in Port Sainte - that is, the craftsmen and sailors who follow the evildoer Li Sheng to take over their pockets.
I spent all the money I had just earned recently.
However, it is not enough to just let these little craftsmen and sailors, in short, these rabble spend their money quickly.
If we really want to turn this group of people into usable people, we obviously still have to open a gambling house.
Starting to understand the world and the most beautiful things can only make people hungry, thirsty and painful. But this kind of pain is not necessarily a good thing. Maybe these craftsmen will upgrade themselves and one day directly become Li Sheng's right-hand man.
.
This is not good, so we must start the second phase of the plan - opening a gambling house.
This gambling house... itself is actually not that useful. It is still the same thing. For the scale of Wu Xing Qiwang, the income of the gambling house itself is still small for Wu Xing Qiwang.
However, the gang of unscrupulous Guizhou leaders in Port Saint-Victoria can quickly go from having money to having no money, and with the gambling house, they can turn from having no money to being in debt.
State - The biggest change in life is not birth, old age, illness and death, just as the biggest disease is not the tumor in the belly or the leprosy on the head, but the disease of poverty.
When people go from having money to having no money, and then from having no money to being in debt, this is the biggest change.
Of course, such a big change requires a little push, and gambling houses are undoubtedly an excellent way to do this. After all, at the same time...
While running a gambling house to cheat people's pockets, they can also lend money at high interest rates. At the same time, they can find out the interpersonal relationships of these craftsmen and sailors, their family members, and more other important information. The key is to look at the relationships between these sailors and craftsmen.
What are the pain points? Find out and grasp them so that you can control them.
To do these things is equivalent to deep control of people, not only to control their surface behavior, but also to control their upward direction.
Ordinary people do not have this understanding, but for high-level elites like Li Kaizhi, the way of people's hearts is at their fingertips. In the past, when I was an infancy in a wealthy family, how did I know that the Classics and History Collection was originally used in this way? Think back to Li Kaizhi
I really felt a little emotional after that, this person still had to practice to gain true knowledge... But now, the true knowledge has finally come out.
