Chapter 777: The Benefits of Decentralization
A psychologist once said that there are only two ways to get support.
One is to give enough benefits, so that he understands that the harder he works, the more he will be rewarded. In modern times, the salary and dividends of senior managers of enterprises are linked to performance, and this is what is used.
As for the other one, it is to provide a platform for realizing ideals and self-worth, to put it bluntly, it is to give power and resources to resources, even if they do not get too much material return, people can get full satisfaction from the spiritual and social identity. In the early 20th century, in the initial stage of socialist countries, the recruitment of all kinds of personnel from advanced capitalist countries was to take advantage of this special psychological need of human beings.
Obviously, given the current situation at Hogwarts, it is impossible to impress hostile professors with money and benefits.
So Zhang Cheng took a different path, directly published an impassioned speech about "freedom" and "democracy", and then generously told the students that from today onwards, no professor can ride on the door and, you can manage yourself.
It has to be said that this trick is quite ruthless and immoral, and it immediately shifts the students' attention from Dumbledore's wanted to the construction of the student council, and those nasty school rules should be removed, and those new rules that are beneficial to themselves should be added.
After all, the former principal, while generally respected, is not as important as the actual benefits that can be obtained.
In particular, the senior prefects are working hard to win a place in the student union, and they are doing propaganda and canvassing votes everywhere every day, so as to experience the feeling of being in power.
As for the outcry β Argus Filch β was glamorously ignored.
To be precise, he became a victim of the emotions used to win over and appease the students, and he could only hide in his room alone all day to drink to kill his sorrows, and was even spat on and teased by some radical students.
Enjoying the lively scene he made with his own hands, Zhang Cheng, who was standing in front of the principal's indoor window, couldn't help but smile and sarcastically said: "Look, this is the naked reality. The reason why a woman is chaste is simply that she is not tempted enough, and the reason why a man is loyal is that the weight of betrayal is too low. A little power can make the entire Hogwarts students forget about Dumbledore, can you find a better deal than that?"
"But...... Your Excellency, will this not lead to chaos in the school, and how can the students be able to calm down and study if they are all busy fighting for power? A school manager questioned with a worried face.
You must know that these nobles are desperately trying to get rid of Dumbledore, not to degenerate Hogwarts into a third-rate magic school, but to restore it to the elitist talent cultivation base of the past.
"Hehe, don't worry, the chaos is just a faΓ§ade. Think about it, what is the best thing to win the hearts of a group of competitive young people? Is it the boastful eloquence? Or the good looks? Or the excellent ability to handle daily affairs? No, no, what really makes them feel admired is strength, great power. So I can guarantee that there will be a good duel before the election, and the final winner will be the leader of the student union. Zhang Chengyi replied with a deep taste.
"What do you mean......" The school director was obviously not a fool, and there was a hint of understanding in his eyes.
Zhang Cheng turned around and nodded slightly: "That's right! Ninety percent of those who can enter the student union in the end will be pure-blood wizards." Because they have a natural advantage over those half-bloods, or wizards who have awakened from ordinary people, that is, they will be exposed to magic earlier, and they are more keen to improve their dueling skills through practice. In other words, Hogwarts will be firmly in your hands in the future. β
"I see! Your wisdom is beyond our reach. Lucius hurriedly stood up and took the lead in patting the horse's ass.
After all, he had seen the extremely difficult Dumbledore go from being a respected first-class Merlin Medalist, founder and secrecy of the Order of the Phoenix, president of the International Confederation of Wizards, and chief magician of the Wizengamot, to being directly beaten into a wanted criminal.
Although outsiders didn't know what was going on, he knew that it must have been done by the seemingly gentle young man in front of him, but in fact he was extremely crazy.
"Hahahaha, my dear friend, there is more to forming a student council than that. The main thing is that it can greatly weaken the power in the hands of professors. Two-thirds of the professors at Hogwarts are Dumbledore, even your esteemed senior Severus Snape. Zhang Cheng laughed and pointed out the true identity of the old bat.
"What! Snape is Dumbledore's man?" Lucius' eyes widened in surprise.
Not only him, but other school directors also began to talk about it.
In the eyes of the aristocracy, Severus Snape, who was born in Slytherin House, should be from his side no matter how he looks at it.
Zhang Cheng ignored the reactions of these people and explained to himself: "To be exact, he is a double agent, selling Dumbledore's information to Voldemort on the one hand, and Voldemort's information to Dumbledore on the other, but in the end he obeyed Dumbledore's orders. β
"Why? Why did he do this!" asked a blonde man who looked to be in his sixties, frowning.
"It's easy! For love, I'm sure you don't know, right?, dear Professor Snape, in fact, is a seed of infatuation who has fallen in love with Harry Potter's mother, Lily, even though she is married and has children. But our esteemed Dark Lord broke his promise and brutally killed Lily, an act that made Snape go berserk and vowed to avenge her, even at the cost of his life. β
"Damn, he chose to betray us all for the sake of a mudblood!" another school director slammed to his feet and let out an angry growl.
From the hideous expression on his face, it is not difficult to tell that he is 100% a Death Eater who has slipped through the net, a loyal follower of Voldemort.
As I said earlier, the reason why men are loyal is that the weight of betrayal is too low. Betrayal is always inevitable, so there's no need to be angry. Anyway, we all already know what kind of person he is, and the next thing to do is to clean up Dumbledore's influence in the school little by little. Let's start with our dear Minerva McGonagall. Create an affair between teachers and students, ruin her reputation, and make her shameless to continue teaching at Hogwarts......"
After that, Zhang Cheng's eyes revealed a chilling light.
Dialyzing human nature, grasping the weaknesses of each person's heart, and then breaking them down individually.
As time passed, he became more and more proficient in the use of this method, and he was able to easily solve most problems and troubles without even using force.
