Iron Dynasty

Chapter 86: Propaganda offensive

   Zhu Wu Liu is fifteen years old this year and lives in Zhujia Village, Taiping County, Qingzhou.

  As far as he can remember, his father was a tenant of the royal family of the Qingzhou tycoon, and 70% of the annual harvest of Chengdu was given to the Wang family.

   He has two older brothers, one is Zhu Yier and the other is Zhu Sansi. They are both feeding the Wang family cattle, and when he was nine years old he was not allowed to go like his brothers, just for a black bun every day.

   Zhu Wuliu doesn't like black steamed buns because they are steamed with wheat bran mixed with moldy wheat, which is difficult to swallow.

   But he has to eat, the remaining 30% of the food in the family is not enough for their family of seven, because there is a younger sister.

   A few households are hungry every day on Zhu Wuliu. Only during the New Year’s holidays will parents be willing to sell their wheat in exchange for a few kilograms of steamed noodles and steamed buns.

   In his memory, these are his happiest moments.

   However, this year is different from previous years. The father who originally rented the land from the Wang family suddenly called all three brothers home, and all seven members of the family went to reclaim wasteland on both sides of the river ditch outside the village.

  According to his parents, His Royal Highness Qi issued an order for farming farmland. Whoever farms farmland and farmland will be inherited from generation to generation.

   Later, Lizheng from the village came to his house again and asked them to join the production team.

   He remembered that his parents were very happy, because the blind date near the cultivated land of his family was organized into a production team, and cattle came from the county and the farming tools were assigned to each production team.

   After the beginning of spring, people in the village will be able to cultivate the fields together, and the government will not levy any taxes for the next three years.

  According to the farming method, the number of acres he can cultivate is 30 acres, but he can't be busy alone.

   But my parents said that when this year’s harvest is sold, he will prepare a bride price for him to find a wife, so that he can farm together. Thinking of Zhu Wuliu blushing, what does a woman feel like?

He was watching the rotating torsion car overturned in the field. At this time, his second brother Zhu Sansi ran over and said to him: "May 6th, Qingzhou City has come to the Highness Newsboy, and Li is asking everyone in the village to go to the east of the village. Threshing floor."

   "What is a newsboy?" Zhu Wuliu asked in confusion.

   "Whatever you care about is a newsboy, just go back."

   Zhu Sansi took Zhu Wuliu and went to the threshing field. At this time, almost everyone in the village arrived.

   In the middle of the threshing floor, an old man is holding a notice-like thing, and Zhu is in the village of Zhu’s, and Zhu Ziyou, who is of high moral character, is standing behind him, carefully accompanying him.

  This person is Fan Zeng who went to the countryside for the first time. He took the newspaper and asked Zhu Ziyou, "Are all the people in the village here?"

   "This Zhu Wuliu is here too, it's all here," Zhu Ziyou said.

   Fan Zeng nodded. Whether it is a village in a prefecture, a county or a village, the people gather together, and the village is surrounded by an earthen wall. This is to prevent wolves, tigers and leopards. This is why the people are all together, and it is easy to convene.

   He said at this moment: "First of all, let me talk about what a newsboy is..."

   Then Fan Zeng popularized the concept of newspapers. This was one of the tasks given by the king of Qi to popularize newspapers and make them official and authoritative information.

   After some explanations, the common people knew about it. Then Fan Zeng began to read, and the content was naturally the content of the newspaper.

   This is the first edition of the Da Yu country newspaper, and it says important things that happened when Qingzhou came in.

   The first one is to clarify the number of acres allocated to each person in the farming order to prevent the rich from occupying more of the delicious food.

   The second article is the information on conscription, encouraging young and middle-aged to join the army, and it is clear that joining the army can get extra acres and receive a certain amount of salary per month. At the end of the year, the government will also subsidize food and meat for those who join the army.

   The third article is to restore horse governance and encourage animal husbandry. Article 4 encourages commercial trade, handicrafts, and corrects the low status of merchants and craftsmen. Nomads can enter the city to work, obtain local household registration for three years, and enjoy all the conveniences of the land.

  Because of the limited space of newspapers, the policies are just the same for the time being, and the rest are several major fief cases, one is the Cangzhou incident and the other is the Dengzhou incident.

   "Bah, this Wang Family and Qin Family are really not things." After reading the newspaper, one of the people cursed.

   "It's not, especially this king's family, who actually killed 72 members of the family for personal gain, it really deserves a thousand swords." Someone said.

   "This local wealthy family is always a scourge. We are exhausted, and we have to hand over 70% of the annual harvest to them, and how much land they occupy us."

   "……"

   When I read about the new policy, the people all cheered, but when it comes to the local wealthy tribe, the people gritted their teeth with hatred.

   Fan Zeng was carefully observing the reactions of the people. After returning in the evening, he still needed to report the specific situation to the Prince of Qi.

   Zhu Wuliu was also listening, especially that Lieutenant Lu swung a knife to kill the two victims of Cangzhou, and the Qingzhou army took down the Dengzhou governor, which made him all enthusiastic. He faintly felt that the King of Qi was facing the people.

   "His Royal Highness Qi cares about the people, and he is a rare virtuous king. Many policies are all for the people's sake~www.ltnovel.com~ Everyone should be grateful for Qi Wang's good governance." Fan Zeng said.

   He not only reads the newspaper as simply, but also establishes the image of King Qi, the government in the hearts of the people, so that the people can trust him and the government.

  Fan Zeng said that the people began to whisper, and many people nodded secretly. The people’s eyes were sharp and they could tell good from bad.

   It's just that they still lack orderly guidance, and now Xiao Ming, under the name of the newspaper, is propaganda in order to raise his arms in the future, and the people can stand by his side.

   But this is not easy, because the local wealthy people are deeply rooted, and Fan Zeng still sees the fear in their eyes when talking about the wealthy people from the people.

   After venting their resentment, they still succumbed to the shadow of the rich family.

   Fan Zeng secretly wrote down the people’s reactions and handed the newspaper to Zhu Ziyou. He had the next village to go, so he took a short rest and left.

   Newspaper is a very new thing for the people. Fan Zeng left and the people dispersed, but they were still talking about the news in the newspaper excitedly on the way.

   Lizheng Zhu Ziyou looked at the leaving villagers, his expression gradually gloomy.

   He glanced at the newspaper and said: "This matter must be known to the outsiders. This newspaper has ruined the Wang family."

   While Zhu Ziwen was thinking about it, Xiao Ming was thinking about his opponent at this stage.

Based on the situation in recent counties, he found that he had overlooked an important point on the question of who is the real opponent, that is, vassalizing the local rich family. Although they do not belong to the rich family, they rely on the rich family to get the brocade clothes. Jade Food~www.ltnovel.com~ welcomes readers to visit and read.
