Iron Dynasty

Chapter 82: newspaper

   "Paper? That's right, with this kind of printing, you still need paper. The official believes that your Highness has an idea."

   Compared with lathes and hydraulic forging hammers, printing and papermaking are relatively simpler. Xiao Ming said: "What you see is for the papermaking workshop and the printing workshop."

   While talking, Xiao Ming took Pang Yukun to see the refiner and the pressure screen used for paper making. With these equipment, the work efficiency of the paper mill will be greatly improved.

   Then, Xiao Ming took Pang Yukun to a page that had been typeset.

   Pang Yukun looked in front of the station board, and said in surprise: "His Royal Highness, this is the farming order and the conscription order. As for the other things that happened in Qingzhou recently, is this highness going to print it in a book?"

   "No, this is a newspaper." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

   Next, he will carry out a very important work, public opinion propaganda. This public opinion propaganda naturally spreads his own great image and conveys various government orders to the people.

   At the same time, it also allows the people to understand some current events, so that the people can feel what he is doing for them, and thus strengthen the people's support for him.

   In Xiao Ming's view, public opinion in any era is a position to be seized, otherwise public opinion will be controlled by others if one does not grasp public opinion.

   It is precisely because of this that the enemy will have the opportunity to use rhetoric about cholera to be peaceful and prosperous.

   Once the newspaper is promoted in his fief, he can promptly dispel the rumors of the people, and he can also dominate public opinion.

   "His Royal Highness, please make it clear." Now Pang Yukun, like the others in Qingzhou, is very humble in front of Xiao Ming.

  Because he discovered that this King Qi knew everything.

   Xiao Ming then talked about the role of newspapers with Pang Yukun.

   Pang Yukun was shocked when he saw the printing press at this time, he said: "With this country's important weapon, why don't you worry that people in the world don't know your Highness."

   Xiao Ming said with a smile: "This newspaper will not be used to brag about the king's achievements. Look at the bottom of this page. They are the smuggling case in Cangzhou and the killing of 72 people in Dengzhou."

   "If this matter is spread among the people, the people will definitely hate the local wealthy family, and it is wonderful to extol the achievements of your Highness. In the long run, as long as your Highness works hard, you will not worry that the people will not support your Highness." Pang Yukun became more and more excited.

   He didn't understand what Xiao Ming did mechanically before, but when it came to government affairs, Pang Yukun suddenly understood.

   Xiao Ming nodded. This was his purpose, but he said: "It's just a pity that the fief's people have too few literate people. This newspaper can only be circulated among the government."

"What's wrong with this? Your Majesty, there are some poor scholars in these six states. They often make a living selling calligraphy and painting and copying books for others. Why can't Your Highness give them newspapers and send them to the states and counties to read them to the people? Listen, just give them some money at that time."

   "Well, a good idea." Xiao Mingxi said, still Pang Yukun knows the people's sentiments of this fief best, and he ignored his fief and there were many scholars.

   Both of them got excited about the idea of ​​the newspaper. Taking advantage of this incident, Xiao Ming said, "By the way, Pang Changshi, there is something I want to keep telling you about the army."

   Speaking of the army, Pang Yukun's expression became serious, because the army is always a sensitive topic.

   "His Royal Highness, this army is under the jurisdiction of Lieutenant Lu, is there anything your Highness is worried about?" Pang Yukun said cautiously.

Xiao Ming said: "Now there are 30,000 people in the Iron and Steel Workshop. The next step is to provide equipment for the army. Once equipped, the Qingzhou Army is a tiger with sharp teeth. This tiger must be mastered. It’s in the hands of the king, so this king wants to strengthen the power of long history in the army.

  The long history is a civilian in the military organization of the Dudufu, but only the Dudufu is equipped with a long history.

   But for Xiao Ming, this is far from enough. Because of the blocking of information, there is a very high probability of military mutiny in this era.

   Therefore, it is dangerous to simply hand over an army to a warrior who is simple-minded and extremely prone to conflict. He is now going to copy the political commissar system in the modern army, and his political commissar is a long history.

   He wants to let the long history go down to the grassroots level of the army, and each level is equipped with a long history to be responsible for ideological propaganda work.

   In this way, the army can be turned into a body and a head. The chief general is responsible for leading military operations, and Chang Shi must obey orders and not interfere.

  Chang Shi is responsible for the ideological discipline of the army, ensuring that Xiao Ming's absolute leadership over the army can depose the position of the main general when the main general has the intention of rebelling at a critical moment.

   Department of Equipment, Xiao Ming said to Pang Yukun, Pang Yukun nodded frequently, whether it is a newspaper or a long history, it now shows that Xiao Ming wants to exercise absolute control over the fief.

   In Pang Yukun's view, Xiao Ming is also taking precautions and taking precautions.

   "Your Highness, it's just that, we need a lot of scholars." Pang Yukun said.

   "Isn't studying for Jiangshan society? Now the king gives them the opportunity, without the imperial examination, as long as they are trained to compete for jobs, isn't it good?"

   Although I don’t understand the meaning of training and competition, Pang Yukun knows that Xiao Ming is looking for talents.

   He said: "In this case, the governor's mansion issued a notice ~www.ltnovel.com~ to summon scholars in the fief, whether they have fame or not, how about?"

   "Well, just do that." Xiao Ming said.

   The two negotiated that Pang Yukun hurriedly left and Chang Shi went deep into the army. This was tantamount to raising Chang Shi's status, which was why Pang Yukun did not object.

   After all, this matter is also beneficial to him, and he fully agrees with this approach. The army is a sharp sword, hurting others and hurting yourself, and must be strictly controlled.

  Pang Yukun was responsible for recruiting Changshi and newsboys, while Xiao Ming was responsible for the production of printing and paper mills.

   He is looking forward to the effect of the birth of the first newspaper in the country in his fief.

   The next day, a notice was posted in the east and west cities of Qingzhou City, which immediately caused an uproar among the Qingzhou scholars.

   "We know this long history, but what is this newsboy, dear friends, who knows." A group of scholars gathered in front of the notice.

   A scholar in front shook his head and read out all the contents of the notice. The people onlookers shook their heads and left. This matter had nothing to do with them.

   "Newsboy, newsboy, is it a scout for reporting military affairs?" A scholar straightened his waist, quite contented.

   Scholars who have fame and fame are respected, and scholars who do not have fame and fame are in the mouth of the people.

   Many of the scholars who were onlookers were still wearing patched clothes. They were from poor families but failed the rankings several times.

   And this kind of scholar lives very hard, and is laughed at by hundreds of people.

Now that this bulletin is posted, they immediately regained the glory of the scholars~www.ltnovel.com~ Welcome readers to read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~www.ltnovel.com~ Please please To read.
