Xiao Ming said: "This thing in your hands is the newspaper, the so-called newsboy is to send the newspaper to the states and counties, and is responsible for reading the newspaper to the people who know, this matter is very simple, but it is also very important, after reading the newspaper, you will also be responsible for collecting the suffering in the hearts of the people, and then pass it on to Qingzhou." ”
The scholars nodded frequently, and then Fan Zeng said: "Your Highness, isn't this newsboy a little similar to Yanguan?" ”
"It's really similar to the officials, except that the people's sentiments you reflect will be published in the newspapers, and the people's officials will reflect the current solutions back to the newspapers, so that the people's voices can be known from top to bottom." Xiao Ming glanced at Fan Zeng appreciatively.
The scholars were a little incredible, King Qi attached so much importance to the suffering in the hearts of the people in the fiefdom, which really made them feel emotional.
Some scholars said: "Your Highness is diligent in government and loves the people, and we should have helped Your Highness." ”
"Yes, I'd like to be this newsboy."
"That's right, there's nothing to be ashamed of, reading books is for the sake of Li Min's life."
“……”
The scholars in the Governor's Mansion were all impassioned, Pang Yukun and Xiao Ming nodded secretly when they saw it, in fact, the people and these scholars also had a pole in their hearts.
If it was before, they would naturally consider it carefully, but now they also see King Qi's various measures.
However, these scholars were only a part, and there was also a branch of scholars who were silent, and seemed to have no interest in the matter of newsboys.
Some also looked impatient, as if waiting for something else.
Xiao Ming saw the demeanor of these people in his eyes, and sneered in his heart, he knew that the purpose of these people was for the position of long history in the army, but the more this was the case, the more he would not give them the position of long history.
Because these people are indifferent and ruthless to the people, they naturally will not sympathize with the soldiers who are born in the army, even if they are in the army, they are also officials, and he does not need such people.
Those who have always won the hearts of the people win the world, Xiao Ming's reforms are all aimed at winning people's hearts, and bringing these people under his command is not a big thing for him.
Moreover, these impatient scholars are full of physique, and the clothes on their bodies are not bad, and they are from good backgrounds at first glance, and it is estimated that they are either big families or small families.
After a deep sigh, he said, "Scholars who are willing to apply for the newspaper boy, please stay, and the others can leave." ”
"Leave? Your Highness, this notice clearly states that there is a long history of application. A scholar was dissatisfied.
Pang Yukun snorted coldly, "Your Highness is what you say, when will it be your turn to make a fuss here, go out!" ”
The scholar's face turned pale, flicked his sleeves, and left angrily, and some other scholars also walked out.
After waiting for a while, looking at the remaining hundred or so people in the hall, Xiao Ming said: "Congratulations, you can now choose Changshi and newsboy at will, but Changshi needs to pass the test of Pang Changshi, as for the newsboy, you can register now, come to report every day, and from now on you will have one or two silver a month." ”
The scholars looked incredulous, followed by ecstasy, and many were secretly glad that they had not left.
"I will examine you one by one, and those who pass will be assigned to the Bowen Academy as a cadet for a period of time, and if you pass the exam, you can enter the army." Pang Yukun said.
The scholars immediately lined up one by one, waiting for the test.
At this time, Fan Zeng walked out silently and said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, the grass people are old, so they won't apply for the long history, but His Highness's words just now really moved the old man. ”
"The old man is in limbo, his ambition is thousands of miles, why should the old man be arrogant." Xiao Ming said.
Fan Zeng said: "Back to His Royal Highness, Lao Yu has participated in the imperial examination since he was fifteen years old, and now he still has achieved nothing, His Royal Highness compares Jiang Gong with Lao Yu is really too praised, Lao Yu knows where his ability is, or be a newsboy." ”
"In this case, this king will not force you, as the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet." Xiao Ming said, firstly, Fan Zeng is indeed old, and secondly, he has no will, and he is not qualified for Changshi.
However, in his opinion, Fan Zeng is old and an old scholar, so he is very suitable for the newspaper that is about to be established.
He paused for a moment and said, "If the old man is willing, can he write down what the people see, if it is good, it can be published in this newspaper." ”
"Yes." Fan Zeng said.
Xiao Ming nodded at him, what about Fan Zeng's ability, he didn't dare to confirm it, so he wanted to test it.
In fact, he doesn't care about the people selected by the imperial examination, after all, in any era, there are always many crooked talents.
Changshi and the newsboy have settled, and Xiao Ming accelerated the construction of the newspaper, paper mill, and printing workshop.
As soon as the house was built in the workshop park, he arranged for craftsmen to settle in and start production.
He also chose the position of the newspaper, which is temporarily in the Bowen Academy.
As soon as he sat his ass hot in the Governor's Mansion, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and then Lu Fei walked in laughing, and said as he walked: "Your Highness, the last general heard that the steel mill has produced a lot of armor, can you let the last general go and have a look?"
"Hmph, Chen Wenlong told you, there is no one to put a door on his mouth." Xiao Ming said.
Lu Fei said with a smile: "Your Highness, you can't blame Chen Bingcao for this, it was the last general who grabbed him and scared him a few words, and he said it." ”
"I guess so, that's it, you're here anyway, let's go, let's go and have a look." Xiao Ming also had some expectations.
Since the expansion of the steel mill and the abundance of manpower, the production of this plate armor has begun, and it is a large-scale assembly line production, and a hundred sets of plate armor per day are guaranteed to be no problem.
After all, although it is an assembly line production, after all, the backward production conditions are still limited here.
When they arrived at the steel mill, they saw a combination of plate armor, which exuded a shiny silver-white color.
From the helmet, cuirass, arm guards, leggings to form a full-fledged humanoid.
This is the advantage of plate armor, not only flexible, but also tightly protected, almost no flaws, in addition to the high-quality steel refined in the steel mill, plus the repeated hammering of the forging hammer, the steel quality of the plate armor is also good.
"Your Highness, this must be mine." Lu Fei pointed to one of the tall plate armors and said.
The successfully forged plate armor stood up like terracotta warriors and horses, Xiao Ming looked in the direction of Lu Fei's finger, it was a large plate armor that exceeded the ordinary plate armor in terms of size and thickness.
"That's right, this is Captain Lu's." Chen Wenlong said with a smile.
The cold luster of metal came from the plate armor, Lu Fei stared at his armor as if he saw a lover, he strode over and said, "Your Highness, can I try it?" ”
Xiao Ming nodded and asked the craftsman to put on the plate armor for Lu Fei, after all, Lu Fei was also the first time he came into contact with the plate armor.
