My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 297 Don’t Blame Everything on Your Ancestors

But this is definitely a good plan. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think of what Li Han had mentioned to him. Using Champa people to manage Champa people is the same idea.

Now the plantation model in Champa has begun to be piloted. I believe that it won’t be long before plantations will fill the entire Champa, and the Ming Dynasty will have a steady supply of cheap sugarcane.

"Then the third step is the performance appraisal of the prisoners. Similarly, we can also adopt a scoring system for the prisoners. I suggest using three main criteria for the appraisal, namely morality, behavior and contribution.

For morality, the main criterion is loyalty to the Ming Dynasty; for behavior, it refers to how one behaves in daily life, whether one makes trouble or works obediently; for contribution, it refers to how much work one has done. Of course, the specific criteria for setting the standards are up to you, Lao Zhu.

So what is the purpose of assessment and scoring? Of course, it is to reward.

But please don't misunderstand me, Lao Zhu. I will not sympathize with the Annan prisoners. The purpose of doing this is to manage the Annan prisoners better at a lower cost, and ultimately achieve the goal of wanting the horse to run but not eat grass. "

You want the horse to run, but you don’t want it to eat grass?
This sentence is really wonderful. It perfectly and profoundly explains the psychological state of the individual when facing prisoners. It is much more wonderful than any poetry or song. When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this sentence, he couldn't help but say "but it all becomes clear"!

"As for the reward setting, we will set different reward levels according to the different scores. We will set the lowest reward line first, and then continuously increase the reward on this basis, such as adding a piece of meat or a piece of candy.

The purpose of rewards is to constantly arouse the captives' desires, but never to satisfy their desires. Do you understand what I mean, Old Zhu?"

Of course I understand it, and I, Old Zhu, also saw two more words between the lines of your words, Old Li - "cannibalism"!
He's the kind of person who would eat people without leaving any bones behind!

Old Li, it's a pity that you don't become a supervisor.

"If there are rewards, there will naturally be punishments. If the score is below a certain point, a certain registered punishment will be carried out, such as beating with a stick or whipping. Old Zhu, you are more experienced in this. I believe you must have beaten the ministers with a stick when you attended court, right?
So where does the power of the manager come from? It comes from the scoring. If the manager is in charge of scoring, all conflicts will be concentrated on him. "

Old Li, even though we are familiar with each other, you can't say anything careless. Since I met you, I, Old Zhu, have basically never beaten any ministers.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but make a joke with Li Han in his heart, but what Old Li did was really amazing.

"In terms of normal treatment, stewards should be treated better than ordinary prisoners. This will easily make stewards the target of other prisoners. At the same time, stewards can also be evaluated and eliminated. That is, if they are unqualified, new stewards can be selected from prisoners with good performance.

In order to consolidate his own position, the manager would adhere to the Ming Dynasty at all costs, and at the same time do his utmost to belittle, slander, and even frame his fellow comrades.

The purpose of doing this is to deliberately create inequality among the captives, so that they will have irreconcilable conflicts within their own small groups. There is a saying that goes, "It is not the lack of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality of wealth." We are just applying the wisdom of our ancestors to practice. "

Okay, okay, Old Li, you should just take care of your own bad behavior, and don't blame everything on your ancestors.

Although he thought so in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer suppress the smile on his face and soon burst into laughter.

Lao Li's method really solved his troubles perfectly.

In fact, just the selection of a manager has already demonstrated great wisdom. In the eyes of ordinary people, if you want to choose a manager from a group of people, you will definitely choose the one with the highest prestige or the one with the greatest ability.

The purpose is to unite a group of rabble to the greatest extent possible. However, Lao Li went against the normal thinking and chose the person with the worst popularity to be the manager. This is to consider the problem from the opposite direction, that is, how to make people unable to unite.

This is great wisdom, and we, Old Zhu, have really learned it!

It seems that the saying "you never stop learning" is really true, and I have deeply experienced it.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the letter, left the bedroom, and paced back and forth in the imperial garden. He wanted to organize his thoughts and digest the valuable knowledge that Li Han had taught him.

In fact, Lao Li wrote so much, and the core is still about checks and balances. This time, he just used the Annan people to check and balance each other, and the Ming Dynasty only needed to pay a little insignificant benefit to allow them to engage in endless internal consumption.

After understanding this truth, Zhu Yuanzhang was in high spirits. He returned to his bedroom and continued to read the letter.

"I have watched the movie you sent me, Old Zhu. I have to say that Miss Zhu Funing is very talented and worthy of acting. I hope she will continue to work hard and strive to make better movies for Daming."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud. Well, Old Li, your tone sounds like you are encouraging the younger generation, just like an old man at home who sees his grandson reciting a poem well and praises him.

Old Zhu would like to see how old-fashioned you are later. Old Li, are you in your seventies or eighties or something?

"Zhu Di and Xu Da all performed well, especially Xu Da, who portrayed the image of a sarcastic father-in-law to the fullest."

Oh, this old scoundrel Xu Tiande, I didn't expect that Old Li would think so highly of him. In my opinion, Old Zhu, he is just so-so. Isn't he usually that sarcastic and mean?
Zhu Yuanzhang was quite unconvinced and wondered how he was worse than Xu Da.

"Oh, Comrade Lao Zhu, your performance as a natural character was also quite brilliant. Although you didn't appear on screen for a long time, in that short moment, you showed the temperament of the supreme ruler of the empire, which was enough to overwhelm the whole audience!

I’ll tell you a secret: your performance was highly praised by Comrade Li Momo. Come on, keep up the good work! "

"Hahahahahaha, I didn't expect that I would receive such high praise from Fairy Li Momo!"

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled like a child and finally felt relieved. He knew that how could that old villain Xu Tiande be better than himself?
"Oh, I have a suggestion. This movie should be broadcast at the same time as Wu Daoxing's voice performance. This should have a more miraculous effect."

That’s right, Lao Li’s idea was simply brilliant, and Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly.

"I asked Li Momo to help revise and polish the film. Take a look and see if it meets the requirements."

what?
Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. He didn't expect that Fairy Li Momo would do the operation herself?
Zhu Yuanzhang was really flattered and couldn't help getting excited. After being made by the fairy, this movie would definitely be a top-notch masterpiece!

It really paid off to me that I put so much effort into giving the gift. Look, I got the reward right away.
