Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 481

[Chapter 481 Propaganda Department]

“People have birth, old age, sickness and death, trees have withering and prosperity, and the same is true for the rise and fall of dynasties. Why should you be obsessed with this.” Mizhuang ancient well has no waves.

It seems that Da Song has long been expected to come to where he is today.

“It’s just that it’s a pity for a child to be an official in the court, eat the king’s salary, and be loyal to the king.” Mi Yan sighed, “Father, isn’t there a way to solve it right now?”

Mi Zhuang shook his head lightly, “Actually, go to Yanzhou Back then, my father and King Yan had discussed this matter, and my father felt that King Yan’s words had fully explained the essence of the chaos.”

“Oh?” Mi Yan showed curiosity when he heard the words.

“The king of Yan said that the clan is the cancerous tumor on Dasong’s body. They survived by sucking Dasong’s flesh and blood. Dasong became thinner and weaker day by day, and the cancer grew stronger day by day, until they exhausted Dasong’s body. In the end, they turned their backs and invaded for themselves. Yes.” Mi Zhuang said slowly.

“I didn’t expect King Yan to see so clearly at such a young age.” Mi Yan shook his head lightly.

I have to say that the metaphor of King Yan is very vivid.

Da Song has been eroded by powerful clans and is riddled with holes.

Dividing the royal family is their last step.

Thinking of something, he said: “Baby wants to send a letter to the King of Yan. Under Boyer’s persuasion, the emperor has decided to trust him completely.”

Mi Zhuang didn’t take it seriously. In his opinion, it is still difficult for Zhao Heng to protect himself now. There is nothing to support King Yan at all.

At present, the emperor can only be like a monk in the temple, be a monk for a day, and hit the clock for a day.

The powerful clan would not put Zhao Heng in their eyes either, they would only keep him and maintain Da Song’s dignity.

The real contest will be between Beidi, Shizu and King Yan, just like the three kingdoms.

“In the letter, I asked about Wen’er’s recent situation. I don’t know how he is doing in Yanzhou?” Mi Zhuang’s eyes stayed on the book, and he seemed to say something unintentionally.

Mi Yan understood, smiled lightly, turned and left.

He drafted a letter in the study, and he sent it to Yancheng quickly.

Seven days later.

Zhao Xu received a letter from Mi Yan.

“Who is it?” Zhao Xu murmured.

Like Dong An, Liang Cheng learned about this matter through short arrows.

As for the letter saying that Zhao Heng would trust him in the future, he didn’t care.

Except for the 100,000 craftsmen he asked for, he really didn’t ask Zhao Heng for anything.

Of course, Zhao Heng didn’t need to give cold faces when he showed his favor.

With Zhao Heng’s support, no matter what he does, at least it will be justified.

“In the current situation, the next step is to show off your magical powers.” Putting the letter on the oil lamp and lighting it, Zhao Xu mused.

Obviously, Da Song’s current situation is basically out of control.

The power and clan formally segregated the territory. Once conflicts broke out, it would be a dog’s brain out of the human brain.

He had a prediction about this, so he wasn’t too nervous, and he was even a little relieved.

Since everyone plays in their own way, he can do whatever he wants on his own land.

Without his powerful clan, he would honestly be taken advantage of.

Furthermore, since Zhao Heng wants to give him full trust, he can no longer hold him back.

“In that case, it depends on who wins.” Zhao Xu said again as he watched the last ashes fall to the ground.

Then, he remembered that Mi Yan mentioned Mi Wen in the letter, and he couldn’t help shaking his head.

Mi Wen has done nothing in Yanzhou during this time, so Mi Yan and Mi Zhuang are probably a little anxious.

I’m afraid it means to make him stop pampering Mi Wen, but to arrange an errand for him.

Thinking of this, he asked Feng’er to call Mi Wen over.

Right now, Beidi is concentrating on gathering strength, and so are the powerful clansmen.

Naturally, he couldn’t make Yanzhou stand still.

Next, he will make Yanzhou speed up in an all-round way.

After all, the steam engine had already made its mark.

This is the revolutionary machinery that transformed Yanzhou from an agricultural structure to an industrial structure.

At the same time, the development of overseas markets will also be carried out simultaneously.

After all, industry relies on commerce and trade. If commodities cannot be sold, industry cannot prosper.

It can be said that, like Da Song, Yanzhou has also reached a critical point.

After taking this step well, he will have the ability to defeat Beidi and turn defense into offense.

Otherwise, his fiefdom will be forever shrouded in Beidi’s shadow.

What’s more, the Shizu is still watching, waiting for him and Beidi to lose both.

Therefore, this step is even more necessary.

These are external.

Of course, there is also internal, in order to make the people of Yanzhou more united.

This time he asked Mi Wen to come to implement this plan and establish a propaganda department.

Not long after, Mi Wen arrived.

“Your Highness.” Seeing Zhao Xu, Mi Wen bowed and saluted, and then laughed.

Looking around in Yanzhou, there are no relatives around, only Zhao Xu is closest to him.

But Zhao Xu is often busy with war and government affairs, so he seldom sees him.

Since coming to Yanzhou, he has only copied books and is familiar with Yanzhou’s different government affairs systems and various new things.

In recent days, he has gradually developed feelings for Yan County, as if he regarded this place as his second hometown.

It’s just that he hasn’t had time to tell Zhao Xu what he wants to do.

“This king is planning to establish an organization called the Propaganda Department, do you want to be the head of the Propaganda Department?” Zhao Xu asked.

Liu Fu said that Mi Wen had a good tongue, could speak well, and was quite clever.

The most important thing is that he is versatile, he has some accomplishments in poetry and songs, and he can also play flute.

After the establishment of the Propaganda Department, what it will do is internal and external publicity.

His personality as a literary youth is also suitable.

The most important thing is that Mi Wen lives in the front yard of the palace, and I can guide him from time to time and make him a qualified director of the propaganda department.

“What is the Propaganda Department?” Mi Wen scratched his head, Zhao Xu suddenly gave him an official position, he was naturally very excited.

But he had never heard of this institution.

Zhao Xu smiled and told him the role of the Propaganda Department.

Propaganda, as the name suggests, is the announcement of communication.

The notices pasted at the gates of the city in ancient times are a kind of propaganda.

But this kind of publicity is too crude for him.

He needs to be able to spread his ideas, including government policies, to the countryside at any time, to the ears of every commoner.

In contemporary times, big-character posters on rural walls are a form of publicity to the common people.

In fact, this method looks earthy, but it is not really earthy, but it is very effective.

For example, in ancient times, the illiteracy rate was infinitely close to 100%.

The simple and concise big-character posters, rich in pictures and texts, and painted on the earthen walls in the countryside can effectively let the people understand the current policies implemented by the government and play a mobilizing role.

For example, roll up your sleeves and work hard to build a prosperous and strong Yanzhou.

This is for rural people.

For those who can read, he plans to ask the Propaganda Department to set up a newspaper office to publicize through the newspaper office, so that everyone in Yanzhou can be covered.

After listening to Zhao Xu’s narration, Mi Wen was stunned.

Then he looked excited, “Your Highness, this suits me so well, leave the propaganda department to me, I will definitely not disappoint Your Highness.”

Zhao Xu sized him up and nodded slightly.

The two were talking, when Feng Er came over to report that Tsui Hark had something to see.
