However, how to publicize the enrollment information of these 320 students, so that all aspiring young people in the two regions can know? Feng Yunshan pondered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and stood up on the ground: Isn't this! After doing it for a long time, I forgot about the most important propaganda tool of this era, and I didn't start it, isn't it?

That's right! Newspaper! Feng Yunshan thought of the newspaper!

In later generations, whether it was recruiting people or selling goods, they were first advertised through newspapers. Isn't it enough to advertise the enrollment of these 320 students in the newspaper? The last time I was in the imperial examination, I also sent people to beat gongs and drums to shout from house to house, not to mention that I was tired to death, and I didn't let many people know the information.

But newspapers are different, people who can read newspapers are literate, so they are more targeted.

The most important thing is that newspapers can be said to be the mouthpieces of propaganda, and as long as they master the tool of newspapers, they will not have the final say in driving public opinion in the future. And no matter what, newspapers can still enlighten people in this era, as long as they can let everyone see the outside world and see this era through newspapers, it is estimated that the Manchu Qing Dynasty's practice will soon fall apart.

Feng Yunshan's eyes became more and more determined, not only to run a newspaper, but also to run it well, to run it big. This newspaper can't be expensive, but it can't be free.

Thinking about the "Southern Weekly" that he liked to read very much when he was a student, Feng Yunshan immediately decided to set up a newspaper, called "Southern Daily", so that the Manchu Qing and Taiping armies could listen to the voice from the south.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan called Wu Chongyao and Li Wenmao and asked, "Have you ever heard of the newspaper?" ”

Li Wenmao thought for a moment and said, "What the Holy King can say is that it is like a summons, with dense tadpoles and foreign characters on it?" ”

Feng Yunshan was overjoyed, it was this kind of thing, it seemed that there were newspapers in Guangzhou, at least, Li Wenmao had seen this foreigner's newspaper.

"Newspapers? Holy King, Chongyao is quite familiar with the newspaper, and he reads it every day for a while. Foreigners have set up several newspapers in Guangzhou, but they are mainly for foreigners. A few years ago, when Chongyao was running a foreign firm, he also subscribed, while learning about the dynamics and business information of foreigners from above. Wu Chongyao replied.

"Oh, what newspapers are there, and who is the editor-in-chief?" Feng Yunshan asked.

"Holy King, in the seventh year of the Qing Demon Daoguang, a British opium merchant Ma Dichen funded the establishment of a newspaper called "Guangzhou Record" in Guangzhou, but in English, for foreigners to read, mainly commercial newspapers and periodicals, which has now moved to Hong Kong Island and changed its name to "Hong Kong Island Record". However, in the thirteenth year of the Qing Demon Daoguang, the Prussian missionary Guo Shili and the American missionary Richmond founded the "East-West Foreign Examination Monthly Tongji Biography", which was a Chinese newspaper, but it was discontinued when the Opium War broke out. "Wu Chongyao has a lot of dealings with foreigners, and he knows a lot about foreigners' newspapers.

"Chongyao, are there any newspapers here in Guangzhou that have not been suspended?" Feng Yunshan asked directly.

"The Holy King asked the newspaper that had ceased publication, did it have to run a newspaper? If you want to start a newspaper, it's very simple. Chongyao knew that there was a newspaper called "China Cong Bao" in charge of the American missionary Wei Sanwei in Guangzhou, and he also opened a printing office to print a large number of newspapers, but a year and a half ago, due to lack of financial resources, it was suspended, and Chongyao asked for sponsorship. That American Chongyao also knew that if the Holy King wanted to, he could recruit him. Wu Chongyao said.

And this kind of thing about sending pillows when you want to sleep? Feng Yunshan was immediately overjoyed, and said: "Then I will buy all his newspapers and periodicals and printing offices, and recruit him himself, and give him more salary." But he was only hired as a technician, and the content of the newspaper had to be controlled by the royal propaganda department. ”

Wu Chongyao hurriedly agreed. The Holy King really wants to run a newspaper!

In fact, it is not difficult for Feng Yunshan to create a newspaper and a printing workshop. However, it is naturally best to make use of ready-made newspapers and printing houses, because Feng Yunshan wants to start a newspaper immediately, so that Nanfang Daily can appear on the streets and alleys of Guangzhou within three days.

Li Wenmao, deputy head of the Propaganda Department, did not know what the role of the newspaper was. It turned out that Feng Yunshan used him as the head of the Propaganda Department, but he only saw his appeal in the Tiandi Society in Guangzhou, and he himself was a famous Cantonese opera actor, and used drama to facilitate publicity in the Guangzhou area.

Seeing Li Wenmao's dazed face, Feng Yunshan said solemnly: "Brother Li, you are the Minister of Propaganda, but you have to keep an eye on this "Nanfang Daily", the president of this newspaper is personally served by this king, and you will serve as the deputy president." ”

Seeing that Feng Yunshan attached so much importance to this newspaper, Li Wenmao was even more surprised! Is this newspaper really so important? He was still muttering, and the next words of the Saint King Feng Yunshan made him understand immediately.

"Brother Li, you and Chongyao go and recruit that American missionary named Wei Sanwei, so that he can be the deputy editor-in-chief, and take down his original newspaper office and printing office. The editor-in-chief was first written by Ben Wang, and when Zeng Guanlan arrived in Guangzhou, he was also the editor-in-chief. ”

"The purpose of the Nanfang Daily is to serve as a tool and mouthpiece for the promotion of the Holy King's Palace, and it must put the interests of the people of the King's Mansion and the Holy Kingdom first!"

Feng Yunshan said categorically: "Therefore, most of the newspaper should be used to lash out at the Manchu Qing Tartars and tell about the policies of the royal palace and the favor to the people!" Of course, at the same time, this newspaper can also disseminate information, enlighten and educate and lead people to see the outside world, understand the current affairs of the world and know the new things happening in various places at the first time. ”

"This king will personally write the first three issues and make a demonstration, and you and Zeng Guanlan will check it later. Can you be confident? ”

"The subordinates have confidence!" Li Wenmao shouted loudly. After listening to what the Holy King said, he already had a general understanding of what this "Nanfang Daily" was going to publish.

……..

On this morning, Fu Shanxiang, who had lived in the courtyard for a few days in a row, and his teenage cousin, who was also a little depressed, secretly went to the street to hang out.

The mansion is located in the southwest of Guangzhou, not far from the lively business district, with a full flow of people. Fu Shanxiang couldn't help but tighten his eldest cousin, many people were afraid of getting lost.

She saw a lot of red, red, green and green rare things, as well as all kinds of Western tricks, and secretly said that this Guangzhou is really the first city in China to the outside world.

I was about to take a good stroll, but I was attracted by the voice of a young boy at the corner of the street: "Big news, big news!" The "Nanfang Daily" founded by the Shengwang Wangfu was published, and the Shengwang personally served as the editor-in-chief, and he also wrote it himself! Don't miss this opportunity! The first three issues of the newspaper are given free of charge, and only one copy is allowed to be received by one person. ”

"Newspapers? What is it? Fu Shanxiang didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he heard that it was the word Saint King, he couldn't help but be in his heart. Fu Shanxiang has a strong interest in this increasingly famous leader of the Cantonese thieves, who can drive away the Manchu government and occupy two provinces, and can also attract his uncle and cause him to abandon his family and children, such a holy king.

What's more, the eldest cousin had already shaken off her hand and ran over.

Therefore, she also stepped away from her half-sized little feet that she had wrapped her feet when she was a child, and later let go after the aging of her family, and walked forward with small broken steps. (To be continued.) )
