Lu Zhi frowned, a little confused.

However, Sun Xiu's eyes lit up and he already understood.

In fact, he had already vaguely guessed about this issue, but there was still a clear concept. Therefore, as soon as Chen Zhi said this, he immediately opened up Sun Xiu's cognition and allowed him to grasp the essence.

"I see."

He nodded.

Chen Zhi glanced at Sun Xiu and smiled and said, "Sun Jun has something to do, so it's better to say it out."

Lu Zhi also glanced at Sun Xiu, looked at the other party's sudden expression, and felt a crisis in his heart.

With the development of the Youzhou power, the civil officials factions gradually emerged in the power. As the number one general of the aristocratic faction, Lu Zhi has been striving to establish an image of a capable minister in Chen Zhi's heart. For this reason, he wanted to show his ability to overwhelm the heroes. Unfortunately, when he met Sun Xiu, the latter seemed to be able to take the lead and understand Chen Zhi's meaning. This is not a good phenomenon.

Sun Xiu ignored the others and would not care about this much. Chen Zhi asked him to say that he said bluntly: "The people also need to believe in some things, and they also have a lot of desire for knowledge. However, this seeking knowledge is not about knowledge, but mostly about family matters, food, oil and salt, and the rumors on the streets and alleys are true. If Youzhou Prefecture can intervene, then the people will naturally believe the statements of the people sent by the government..."

After hearing this, Lu Zhi finally understood and thought more about it in an instant. After all, he was not stupider than Sun Xiu. He was just because he came from a noble family and was not as familiar with the lives of ordinary people as Sun Xiu. However, he also went on a few trips, pretending to be a rich man and walking through the streets and alleys. So he also knew that the people worked more and had few entertainment. In addition to the human creation movement at night, it was just a low-cost activity like spreading gossip.

"...Scholars are naturally respected. Although some farmers don't like to be accustomed to the fact that they don't do anything for scholars, squatting at home and staying in the door, this is for those who have no achievements in learning. The scholars who have passed the literary review are different. After being widely publicized and the grand occasion of the civil and military competition, Youzhou and even Jizhou in the south have praised this matter. There are also many refugees from Jizhou who come to Youzhou from thousands of miles to come to Youzhou for the future of their children, just to be qualified to participate in the civil and military competition and to be able to obtain the status of a son, they will be respected in the Youzhou area!"

Lu Zhi looked solemn and took over the conversation, "So the people are born to think that the news promoted by the students is authoritative and real, and then full of trust, and are willing to obtain these news. This will also make them have a superior idea in their conversations with others. They know that things that others don't know, and they are also military and national affairs, which is even more different in character. They talk about the style of mysterious discussions with famous scholars. So the more they don't know, the more they want to know, the more they know, the more they want to spread, and over time, a trend will form and public opinion!"

Speaking of this, his thoughts became clearer and he developed an inexplicable fear, and he faintly realized the terrifying power behind it.

In fact, Lu Zhi didn't want to match Sun Xiu, but if Sun Xiu kept saying it, Chen Zhi would inevitably feel that Lu Zhi was redundant and then lower his evaluation, so he had to participate. However, after this participation, he suddenly realized that what he said made him feel cold behind his back.

"Yes," Sun Xiu listened, his eyes lit up again. "It seems that what the disciple did is similar to the people who are known to the people mentioned by the lord in the past. It is a kind of person who makes his knowledge public and can be called a public genius!"

"Cough cough cough!" Seeing that the two of them were talking well, Chen Zhi, but after hearing the last title, he started coughing violently. Seeing that the two were about to care, he waved his hand and told them to continue, but he felt quite strange in his heart.

Sun Xiuze said: "If you have a son to do public knowledge, when the people become accustomed to it, they will regard what they say as a guideline. It seems to be a bit of a risk now. When the people know the external situation, they will use it out of the instinct to seek profit and avoid harm. Once unfavorable news comes, they will quickly evacuate. However, in contrast, once they confirm the truth of the news, they will become more and more confident. At the critical moment, there will be room for reversal and rotation."

This is very obscure. What is the space for rotation and rotation. In fact, to put it bluntly, it means that at a critical moment, you can spread false news through the candidates to directly manipulate public opinion and the people's hearts and achieve results that are beneficial to the situation.

Even a person like Lu Zhi who recognizes himself as a gentleman must admit that this effect is indeed very huge, especially when fighting with foreign enemies and internal stability is required.

Since ancient times, great powers have fought between great powers, and the battlefield determines the victory or defeat, but what determines life and death is often the homeland. Those who can destroy great powers are generally internal forces, and the invasion of external forces is at most a lead, so how to rule internally is an eternal research topic.

Manipulation, control and restriction of public opinion have been carried out since ancient times. Things like Ju Zi are not unique. However, Chen Zhi is very clear that his actions to shape a new class based on civil and military practices are very pioneering, because in the original history, the stable formation of this class will take at least a few hundred years!

“This is just the first step.”

Seeing that the two leaders of the Youzhou family and the poor family were unconcealed and hostile to each other, Chen Zhi spoke again:

"You just saw one side, and that is the mastery and guidance of the public opinion of the students, but never thought that this can actually advocate customs and customs. Mr. Lu just mentioned the idea. If a student cannot be upright and does not know his virtue, it will be a disaster. Such people may have no position and sway with the wind. The same is true for the people. Although it is safe, they have no idea of ​​family and country in their hearts. When the Hu people come, they flee and the bandits rise, and they follow it. This is also a hidden danger. It may be effective to guide it with the words of the students..."

With Chen Zhi's tone set, Lu Zhi had to sigh. He knew that the efforts to persuade him had failed again. He also knew very well that it was not just that he had failed this time, but with what he said before, it was not easy to object explicitly in the future, so he had to say goodbye and leave.

But Sun Xiu stayed and did not leave.

Chen Zhi saw it and asked with a smile: "What else does Sun Jun have to say?"

Sun Xiugong bowed and said, "There are indeed some things that I want to tell the general that Mr. Lu is a gentleman. He didn't say much when he was there. It was something that the subordinates only understood after the general reminded him just now. There are many things that can be used for this lecture. But the only thing that is worth considering is that the general has thought that his subordinates are just doing nothing more."
