Chapter 876: The Times Sail

Happy times are always short-lived, and after the Chinese New Year, people are back to their busy work, but this time they seem to be working harder than usual.

This is the role of the 'Spring Festival' - Serena's maid calls for everyone to spend more time with their families during the holidays, and her appeal sounds like a 'holy message', not everyone does what she says, but most people are willing to spend time with their families on this holiday.

At the end of the Spring Festival, laughter continued, and people filled the whole principality with joy and warmth, from the three major fortresses in the north to a few villages on the southern border.

However, after the seven-day holiday of the Spring Festival, people are once again engaged in production, and now they have every reason to believe that the maid will take them to a better life than now!

After the Chinese New Year, an unexpected, but plausible thing happened - it seemed that the Ogordon empire was also going to issue a magazine, which seemed to be related to mechanics.

So far, the magazine is still in the works, but there is some official news that wants people across the continent to know about it.

"It seems that they have some understanding of how important 'public opinion' is. After seeing this news, the maid couldn't help but smile.

Once again, she had succeeded in influencing the course of the world, and if it weren't for what she had done before, it would have been clear that the Ogordon Empire would not have chosen to publish a magazine now.

She really wants to use the power of magazines to influence the whole world, because until now, there are still not many literate civilians, even though the Glorious Church and the Knowledge Church have established private schools all over the mainland to spread knowledge to the outside world, but there are still very few civilians who have the time and energy to learn.

What will really be affected by the 'magazine' is the ruling class of the world today, that is, the aristocracy.

They were able to read and write, and the intellectual level of Xinghai Monthly happened to be understandable to the nobles, so they were naturally influenced by the magazines they issued.

In this era of extremely slow information circulation, even the aristocracy may not be able to have much knowledge, and there are few means of entertainment in this era, so few things that the nobles talk about when they hold balls, maybe it happened five or ten years ago.

It's not that those things are interesting, but that they have a lot of knowledge and a lot of reading.

At times like these, magazines that bring them a lot of reading every month become sought-after reads.

The maid just wants to slowly influence the thinking of people in this world through the "Star Sea Monthly", but unfortunately, there are not many smart people in the Ogordon Empire, and they soon discovered this, and they chose to publish their own magazines very wisely.

However, they did not have the same sales channels as the Church of Fortune to ship magazines around the world.

...... Unless the Ogordon Empire chooses to make a deal with the Church of Wealth, and the terms of the deal must be 'either the capital is opened, or the escort is allowed to set up [waypoints]", the maid has reason to believe that Latinia will not open her sales channels to the Ogordon Empire.

Latinia looks a little silly, but that's just a façade, in fact she's a complete profiteer!

If the conditions are not negotiated, Latinia would rather the Church of Fortune be suppressed in the Ogordon Empire than open sales channels - anyway, she is not the one who needs to be in a hurry, even if she gives up the Ogordon Empire, she still has an entire Mendez continent to develop her faith.

The maid didn't worry about this, because her original intention was to influence the thinking of the nobles through the "Star Sea Monthly", so that they would gradually accept the magic energy machine and let the magic energy machine enter their lives.

This allows civilians to also have access to magical machines, and can use this thing to improve themselves.

She can guess what the Ogordon Empire wants to do now, one of which is to spread the concept of 'mechanics' on the mainland, so that people know that in addition to 'magic machines', pure machines can also change lives, and the other is to enhance the influence of the O'Gordon Empire on the mainland!

Just as 'Cloudsdale' has been sung for thousands of years, Cloudsdale has become a sacred place for mages, and even now, there are still people within the Kurkut Empire who oppose Rounor's reckless behavior.

The same is true for the current magazine distribution, except that Cloudsdale is touted by word of mouth, and the magazine is more efficient.

Serena had reason to believe that if the magazine of the O'Gordon Empire had been published, it would have quickly become a cult hit.

Because they had already formed a railway network within their empire, which was also very admired by the maid, without any guidance from outside ideas, they were able to leapfrog from 'steam engine improvement' to 'steam train operation' in just ten years, although there was magic involved, but it was also a commendable achievement.

And after the publication of the mechanical magazine of the Ogordon Empire......

"Sera, there's news again!"

Cervantes slammed the door in, interrupting the maid's thoughts.

He ran to the desk, picked up the water glass that the maid had placed on the table, and poured it down his throat.

"Whew!" he breathed a sigh of relief after drinking the water, and then noticed that the maid had been looking up at him.

"It's the Kurkut Empire!" Cervantes remembered why he had come here, and hurriedly said, "They have also issued a statement to release a magazine!"

Really!

The maid chuckled, shook her head, and said, "As expected. ”

Just as she had just guessed, after the Ogordon Empire announced that it was going to release a magazine, the Kurkut Empire would definitely react, or rather, they had already prepared, but after the Ogordon Empire announced it in advance, they felt that they could no longer continue to hide it.

"Wait!" The maid put down her pen, leaned back in her chair, and exhaled, "After these two empires, there will definitely be other countries or organizations that will react. Even those rulers, no matter how dull, understood that this kind of thing could not wait. Maybe in a few months, there will be a sky full of magazines?"

As she spoke, the maid looked proud.

This incident started because of her, and she successfully changed the world again!

This era is different from the 21st century of the earth, and the magazine cannot be parallel imports, otherwise it will not be competitive in the market at all.

Some people may have the idea of creating a magazine with some famous people in the red news, but this will not increase the country's influence in the international community, and if this is used as a starting point, then it means that they have thrown in the towel from the beginning.

In this day and age, magazines are a 'strategic weapon' used to increase the influence of the state, and most of the readers are aristocrats and wealthy merchants.

They may be interested in some lace news, but for the ruling class, magazines with dry goods are what they need.

For them, lace news is like a dessert before and after a meal, it doesn't matter if you eat it or not, but dry goods are a staple food for them, so that they can understand what is happening in various parts of the mainland today, and then through some news, they can understand the situation on the mainland today - this is what the ruling class needs.

"I didn't expect it, in the blink of an eye, this world has changed so much......"

As he spoke, Cervantes suddenly showed a hideous smile, "The balance is gradually collapsing, the balance of power is tilting, those mice hiding in the shadows can't still endure at such a time, right?"

The maid glanced at him, knowing exactly what he was referring to now.

The cultists will not rest on their laurels, unless they don't intend to turn this world upside down!
