"Paper? That's right, with this kind of printing technique, you still need paper, and Xia Guan believes that His Highness already has an idea. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Compared with lathes and hydraulic hammers, printing and papermaking are relatively simple, Xiao Ming said: "What you see is exactly for paper mills and printing mills. ”

While speaking, Xiao Ming took Pang Yukun to see the refiner and the pressure screen used for papermaking, with these equipment, the work efficiency of the paper mill will be greatly improved.

Then, Xiao Ming took Pang Yukun to a version that had been typeset.

Pang Yukun looked at it in front of the standing version, and said in surprise: "Your Highness, this is the Tuntian Order, the conscription order, and the rest is what happened in Qingzhou recently, does this Highness want to be printed in a book?" ”

"No, it's a newspaper." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Next, he will carry out a very important work, public opinion propaganda, which is naturally to disseminate his great and righteous image and convey various decrees to the people.

At the same time, it also allows the people to understand some current events, so that the people can feel what he, the vassal king, is doing for them, and thus strengthen the people's support for him.

In Xiao Ming's view, public opinion in any era is a position to be grasped, otherwise if you don't grasp public opinion, public opinion will be controlled by others.

It is precisely because of this that the enemy will take advantage of the opportunity to use the rhetoric that cholera was originally peaceful and prosperous.

Once the newspaper is promoted in his fiefdom, he can timely refute the rumors of the people, and he can also dominate public opinion.

"Please also ask Your Highness to make it clear." Now Pang Yukun, like everyone else in Qingzhou, is very humble in front of Xiao Ming.

Because he found that this King of Qi was simply omniscient.

Xiao Ming then told Pang Yukun about the role of the newspaper.

Pang Yukun was much more shocked when he saw the printing press at this time, and he said: "With the important weapons of this country, why worry that people in the world don't know Your Highness." ”

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "This newspaper is not used to boast about the merits of this king, you see that under this page, there are the Cangzhou smuggling case and the Dengzhou 72 family extermination tragedy." ”

"If this matter spreads among the people, the people will definitely hate the local wealthy family, and praise the merits of His Highness, it is really wonderful, for a long time, as long as His Highness works hard, there is no worry that the people will not support His Highness." The more Pang Yukun spoke, the more excited he became.

In the past, Xiao Ming was mechanical, he didn't understand, but when it came to government affairs, Pang Yukun suddenly understood.

Xiao Ming nodded, this was exactly his purpose, but he said: "It's just a pity that there are too few literate people in the fiefdom, and this newspaper can only be circulated in the official mansion." ”

"What's the matter, Your Highness, there are hard-working scholars in these six states, they always make a living by selling calligraphy and paintings, copying books for people, why can't Your Highness give them newspapers, let them go down to the states and counties to read to the people, and give them some silver when the time comes."

"Well, good idea." Xiao Mingxi said, it was Pang Yukun who knew the people of this fiefdom best, and he ignored that there were also many scholars in his fiefdom.

The two of them were excited about the newspaper's idea, and through this incident, Xiao Ming said: "By the way, Pang Changshi, there is something I want to keep telling you, this matter is about the army. ”

When it came to the army, Pang Yukun's expression became serious, because the army is always a sensitive topic.

"Your Highness, this army is under the jurisdiction of Captain Lu, is there anything Your Highness is worried about?" Pang Yukun said cautiously.

Xiao Ming said: "Now there are 30,000 people in the steel mill, and the following is the time to provide equipment for the army, once the equipment is formed, the Qingzhou army is a tiger with sharp teeth, this tiger must be in the hands of this king, so this king wants to strengthen the right of long history in the army." ”

The long history is originally a civilian in the military institution of the Governor's Palace, but only the Governor's Mansion is equipped with a long history.

But for Xiao Ming, this is far from enough, because of the blockage of information, the probability of an army mutiny in this era is very high.

Therefore, it is dangerous to simply hand over an army to a simple-minded and extremely conflict-prone warrior, and he is now going to copy the political commissar system in the modern army, and his political commissar is a long history.

He wanted Changshi to go down to the grassroots level of the army, and each level should have a Changshi responsible for ideological propaganda work.

In this way, the army can be turned into a body, a head, the main general is responsible for leading military operations, and Changshi must obey orders and not interfere.

Changshi is responsible for the ideological discipline of the army, ensuring Xiao Ming's absolute leadership over the army, and can depose the position of the chief general when there is a defective intention at a critical moment.

In the equipment department, Xiao Ming told Pang Yukun eloquently, Pang Yukun nodded frequently, whether it was a newspaper or a long history, it now shows that Xiao Ming wants to have absolute control over the fiefdom.

In Pang Yukun's view, Xiao Ming is also taking precautions and preventing problems before they happen.

"Your Highness, it's just that in this way, we need a lot of readers." Pang Yukun said.

"Isn't reading for the sake of the country? Now that the king has given them a chance, they don't need the imperial examination, as long as they are trained and competed for posts, isn't that bad? ”

Although he didn't understand the meaning of training and competition, Pang Yukun knew that Xiao Ming was recruiting.

He said: "In that case, the people of the Governor's Mansion will issue a notice to summon the scholars in the fiefdom to come, whether they have merit or not. ”

"Well, that's it." Xiao Ming said.

The two discussed that Pang Yukun left in a hurry, and Changshi went deep into the army, which was equivalent to improving Changshi's status, which was also the reason why Pang Yukun did not object.

After all, this matter is also beneficial to him, and he very much agrees with this approach, the army is a sharp sword, and it can also hurt oneself if it hurts others, and it must be strictly controlled.

Pang Yukun was in charge of recruiting Changshi and newsboys, while Xiao Ming was in charge of the production of printing and paper mills.

He was looking forward to what kind of effect the first newspaper of the Great Yu Kingdom would have in his fiefdom.

The next day, a notice was posted in the east and west markets of Qingzhou City, which immediately caused an uproar among Qingzhou scholars.

"We know this long history, but what this newsboy is, brothers, who knows." A crowd of scholars gathered around the notice.

A scholar in front of him shook his head and read out all the contents of the notice, and the onlookers shook their heads and left, this matter has nothing to do with them.

"Newsboy, newsboy, could it be a scout who reports the military situation?" A scholar straightened his waist, quite complacent.

Scholars who have meritorious fame are respected, and scholars who are not meritorious and famous are useless scholars in the mouths of the people at that time.

Many of the onlookers were still wearing patched clothes, and they were from poor families who had failed several times.

And this kind of scholar lives a very difficult life, and is ridiculed by Baibai.

Now that this notice was posted, they suddenly regained the glory of being a reader.
