Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 500

[Issue of Chapter 500]

“Really?” Zhao Xu took the newspaper from Mi Wen’s hand, read it, and walked to the study.

The newspaper given by Mi Wen was just a manuscript, and the size of the paper was the same as that of contemporary newspapers.

On this piece of paper, Mi Wen divided it into different sections.

Each block has different content.

“Congratulations on the establishment of Yanzhou Newspaper.” Sitting down in front of the desk, Zhao Xu began to read.

On the top page of this homepage, Mi Wen took a big title.

The following is an introduction to the newspaper office, such as what is the newspaper office? What is a newspaper, what is its function, and the price of a newspaper, etc.

In short, it is propaganda for the newspaper itself.

Then, following the first section, the title of the second section – Beidi Tunbing Ningjindusi, the heart of destroying my Yanzhou will never die.

It introduces how Beidi dispatched troops after the peace talks, how they repeatedly provoked at the border recently, and the casualties of soldiers.

The writing of the article is powerful, and after reading the whole article, I couldn’t help feeling angry towards Beidi.

There is another title on the left side of this section-Yanzhou infrastructure is in full swing, the achievements are in the present, and the benefits will be in the future.

The article mainly introduces the infrastructure construction of the government office during this period, and at the same time calls on everyone in Yanzhou to actively participate in the construction of Yanzhou.

Reading along the way, Zhao Xu read articles about other places in Dasong in other forums.

For example, the nobles in Qizhou oppressed the people, caused civil unrest in the local area, and were suppressed by the local government.

For another example, a certain powerful official in the capital was greedy for hundreds of thousands of taels of ink and silver, kept more than 30 concubines, and so on.

“Hahaha… That’s right. Not only did you understand what I taught you, but you seem to have mastered it. Well, that’s what the newspaper should do.” Zhao Xu said with a smile.

After reading the general newspaper, it basically means that the outside world is chaotic, and Yanzhou is alone.

This in itself is an invisible propaganda of public opinion.

People who read the newspaper will subconsciously think that Yanzhou is better, and stimulate their sense of identity with Yanzhou.

Of course, Mi Wen didn’t make fake news either, these things were happening in the first place, they just spread to Yanzhou and were published in the newspapers.

“Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment.” Being praised by Zhao Xu, Mi Wen couldn’t help being excited, and the exhaustion of editing the layout day and night disappeared instantly.

Zhao Xu nodded, and then felt that there was something missing in the newspaper.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized, “By the way, add another section to the newspaper, called Current Politics Satire.”

“Current Politics Satire?” Mi Wen was startled.

“In addition to publicity, the newspaper office also has the role of supervision. I can’t guarantee that there are no problems in Yanzhou. You can raise these issues and publish them in the newspaper to make the officials afraid.” Zhao Xu said.

He is King Yan, responsible for the general direction of the entire Yanzhou.

Therefore, it is impossible to keep abreast of what may happen in a certain county or a certain township.

And local officials will also deliberately cover up for the black hat on their heads.

At this time, the role of the newspaper office is reflected, and the common people can disclose this matter to the newspaper office.

For some very bad incidents, the newspaper society published them in newspapers and made them public, forcing the government to deal with them.

And he can discover these things while browsing the newspapers.

This is the role of public opinion supervision.

“I’m afraid this will offend many officials.” Mi Wen scratched his head.

Zhao Xu glared at him, “If you are afraid, change to someone who is not afraid.”

People are all interested, and people at different levels have different interests.

Now that Mi Wen is an official, he naturally has the same interests as the officials.

In the contemporary feudal dynasties, scholars and bureaucrats and emperors ruled the world, and there was nothing wrong with the common people.

But in this way, if Yanzhou continues to walk the old road, he will be busy in vain, and will gradually lose the popularity of the people.

“That’s what the official said, don’t worry, Your Highness, I, Mi Wen, will never embarrass Your Highness.” Mi Wen patted his chest.

Zhao Xu nodded, “That’s about the same, but I will keep watching you. If you find that you are unqualified, I will still replace you.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Mi Wen shrank his neck.

Then, he said again: “By the way, Your Highness, I feel that the daily edition of the newspaper is too frequent, because many things may not have time to be summarized in the newspaper office. It is appropriate to publish an edition every three days.”

Zhao Xu thought for a while and agreed . Mi Wen’s statement.

The transmission of information in this era is still very slow.

Too often I’m afraid there will be no material available.

“First follow the three-day version, and then it will depend on the situation.” Zhao Xu said.

The two talked for a while, and Mi Wen took the first page of the newspaper and left.

Before leaving, Zhao Xu mentioned a line on the page, which was regarded as a reputation for the newspaper.

After all, it is also a gimmick for King Yan to mention the words himself.

After leaving the palace, Mi Wen went straight to the printing workshop and handed the newspaper to the printing workshop for rubbing.

The next day, five hundred newspapers were delivered to the newspaper office.

Mi Wen had already prepared a newspaper seller.

After taking the newspapers, these newspaper sellers started wandering around Yancheng, selling them everywhere.

“The first newspaper in Yanzhou, with the inscription written by King Yan himself, only 500 copies, if you miss it, there will be no more…”

The shout of the newspaper seller immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.

A merchant passed by and stopped the newspaper seller, “What is a newspaper? Let me have a look.”

“Newspaper, newspaper, the paper that reports the world’s affairs, is the newspaper, here you are.” The newspaper seller gave the newspaper to the merchant.

The merchant took it and was immediately attracted.

It includes the crisis faced by Yanzhou, the policies promulgated by the government and the policies to be promulgated, and even news about business and trade, such as whose workshop was transferred, who built another workshop, and whose Breakfast is affordable and delicious.

After watching this, he was immediately fascinated, standing in the middle of the road, suddenly ignoring the passing people coming and going, until the newspaper seller snatched the newspaper away.

“Ten copper coins a piece.” The newspaper seller held out his hand.

“It’s so cheap.” Hearing this, the merchant quickly took out the copper coins, and then squatted on the side of the road to watch.

At the same time, other newspaper sellers also sold their newspapers one after another.

Newspapers themselves are inexpensive and provide a lot of information.

Those who know the goods will naturally not let it go.

For a time, many people discovered strange phenomena.

In the streets and alleys, there are always people holding a piece of paper and reading with relish.

As 500 copies of the newspaper were sold, the name of the newspaper gradually spread through these 500 people.

Just an hour later, many people came to the door of the newspaper office and asked if there were any newspapers left.

They are all relatives and friends of the person who bought the newspaper and can borrow it.

But borrowing is not as good as reading slowly by yourself.

Furthermore, if you can borrow it this time, it would be indecent to pick it up next time.

When Mi Wen heard the news, he was naturally overjoyed, and asked the printing house to print another thousand copies.

…

South Sea of Anseong Port.

When the name of the newspaper gradually spread, Zhou Yi led the fleet to the waters near Ancheng Port.

They will wait here.

In the fourth chapter, the snail is really handicapped. In the fifth chapter, there is still no breakthrough. Continue to fight for the fifth chapter to repay the debt.
