Chapter 171 Get rid of control, undercurrent surges!

The invention of the mimeograph machine would soon set off a storm in the Ming Dynasty.

It is so small that it is inconspicuous.

But it was big enough to change the number of scholars in Ming Dynasty and the power structure of Ming Dynasty.

Only when knowledge is not monopolized can the privileges of the scholar-official class have a foundation to break.

The mimeograph machine is undoubtedly a key part.

Technology and systems always complement each other.

"After the mimeograph machine is manufactured, I will set up a special news agency to serve as the eyes, ears and mouthpiece of the imperial court, publish newspapers and magazines, report on major events of the imperial court, publicize and explain imperial policies to the people, and occupy the high ground of public opinion."

"Dao Yan, I plan to make you the first director of the news agency. Are you willing?"

Prior to this, although there was a Di newspaper in the Ming Dynasty, it was only distributed among officials, and its main function was only to serve as a form of government announcement.

Moreover, because there were a large number of unapproved memorials published on it, which aroused discussions among officials, it became an important tool for civil servants to control public opinion and coerce the court.

Fan Aixin pondered for a while and said: "This report is for the emperor and the common people. It is for the people in heaven. Let's call it "People's Daily"."

While Zhu Yunzhen was busy with official duties and promoting Xiao Ming's changes, there was also an undercurrent in Jinling City.

There are various rumors floating around, but none of them are true.

Everyone in the government and the public knows that I have a close relationship with Yao Guangxiao. If Fan Aijun really commits some small crime, it will be difficult for me to break away from the relationship.

Taisun behaved in a secretive and unpredictable manner, and after that, around the establishment of a prince, business taxation, new army and other minor matters, few court officials had conflicts with Taisun.

Due to immature technology, all he can do is reduce the random publication of sensitive memorials.

Before Lao Zhu left Beijing, he entrusted me with all political affairs.

…

In feudal society for thousands of years, public opinion and propaganda have always been in the hands of the scholar class.

With my eyes, I can see the importance of such a newspaper at a glance.

No wonder counterfeit money is so prevalent.

The Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau now has a strong technical force, but I have too little care.

In addition, through the circulation of newspapers and periodicals, the imperial court was able to control the smallest propaganda position. On the one hand, it could gain insight into public sentiment and on the other hand, it could control public opinion.

Fan Aixin discussed with the craftsmen the issue of preventing counterfeiting of treasure banknotes.

The construction of the new city in Shanghai will be spread out. If cement can be used, it will not be of great significance to the construction of the new city.

He was respected by the scholar-petty class in despicable and shameful ways.

The first is to use ordinary special paper, and the seventh is to add special anti-counterfeiting overprints, secret marks, etc. during printing.

Whenever the imperial reform affects our interests, those who preside over the reform will be scolded as traitors and cowards.

It is difficult for ordinary people to understand the truth.

…

Chongli Street is located where the imperial palace envoys live. It is very convenient to enter the palace and attend court.

Before the establishment of newspapers and periodicals, as long as they were firmly in their own hands and distributed in small quantities, they could control public opinion on their own, which was constrained by the scholarly class.

I hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Taisun. The poor monk only vowed to die in repayment."

The production of cement is not very easy, but it may be weaker than modern cement, which requires a little improvement in technology and the accumulation of time.

Most of the people who live here are bureaucrats and petty people. We pay great attention to etiquette in our words and deeds, hence the name.

The common people are very open-minded and can easily be led around by the nose.

On the contrary, he is a tyrant and a coward.

…

Although Fan Aixin created gods through propaganda and now does not have very low prestige among the people, he will definitely lose the bridge of communication, and that kind of prestige will be meaningless.

"Mr. Qi!"

Before that, orders could only be communicated through officials, who often deliberately distorted their intentions or concealed what they were told.

I have provided a rough outline of the direction of technological development. The specific details can only be left to the craftsmen to carry out technical research.

Although the establishment of the Advisory Office and the Military Affairs Office has slightly reduced my burden, it is still not a lot of work and requires me to do it myself.

Whether or not they have deliberately inquired about relevant knowledge and made adequate preparations, none of the 10,000 modern people can be confused about how cement was made in ancient times. It was wrong.

Zhu Yunxuan is obviously one of the lucky ones.

But there has been no decree from the palace.

After all, who would delay knowing that they are going to travel to Xiaoming?

Once a newspaper is established, as a public media, it directly faces the people and eliminates intermediate links, so that these things can be completely prevented from happening.

Today's Xiao Ming Bao banknotes are constantly changing in version, which gives counterfeiters an opportunity to take advantage of them.

Huang Zicheng was extremely dedicated to handling the newspaper and was willing to do so without any delay.

Yao Guangxiao's case is also pressed against Jin Yiwei, but the details are kept secret.

Don't say it's me, the civil servants in Beijing and China are all worried that it's me.

I have been like this since before Yao Guangxiao was arrested.

The specific process and method are all known.

Emperors who only want to do bad things for the people and do practical things will often get a lot of infamy because they will offend the interests of the scholar class.

Qi Tai's heart is peace, which is getting more and more prosperous.

After the advent of the mimeograph machine, printing will become very convenient, and some people who used to make handwritten newspapers as a career will be unemployed.

After saying that, I left in a hurry.

Technology-based anti-counterfeiting of banknotes can be done in two aspects.

As Lao Zhu left the palace, some people who had been dormant since then became active again.

Only in this way can I bring the young men to the altar.

Just when I was stunned, a figure suddenly stepped back from under the carriage.

Qitai was sitting in the carriage, feeling dazed.

The emperor's decree and the court's voice reach directly to the people at the lowest level, and officials no longer have the ability to deceive the law.

Zhu Yunzhen discussed it with the craftsmen and told the supervisor to keep the research secret and keep it confidential.

Therefore, he is active in seven places in the dark.

In addition, there is no version control, prevention of technical leaks, etc.

Throughout the dynasties, there are very few such examples.

The circulation of newspapers and periodicals plays a positive or negative role in bypassing the bureaucracy and building a bridge for direct dialogue with the people.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "䱱..." Qi Tai's pupils suddenly narrowed.

This also means that I am almost on the opposite side of the entire bureaucracy today.

To put it simply, the two most important powers in state power are the pen and the gun.

Fan Aixian smiled faintly and said: "It is difficult to make a mimeograph machine, so he took the time to prepare for the newspaper."

At the beginning of the Xiao Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu was very gentle in his control of officials. He stipulated that only officials who were not old and infirm were allowed to ride in sedan chairs, while the rest could only ride in cars or horses.

If the grandson killed Yao Guangxiao quickly, even if he was cut into pieces with a thousand cuts, he would be able to repay the four clans.

Before leaving the printing workshop, I went to another place to discuss a new technology - cement with the craftsmen.

Before finishing that, Zhu Yunzhen returned to the palace without stopping.

The imperial court could directly convey the voices of the highest level to the people at the lowest level by publishing a large number of newspapers and periodicals.

An emperor who caters to the interests of civil servants will be touted by us and regarded as an eternal sage.

That will play a vital role in implementing changes in the past.

Other anti-counterfeiting methods are also very complex.

Fan Aijun was already stunned.

The rain is coming and the wind is blowing!

However, Zhu Yunxuan knew very little about cement manufacturing. I only knew that limestone and clay were needed, that they needed to be ground into powder, calcined at low temperatures, etc.

And many of the changes I envisioned are in urgent need of implementation. It can be said that there is a lot of waste waiting to be done, and naturally it will not be finished until I am busy.

Zhu Yunxuan had long wanted to reform.

More importantly, Zhu Yunxuan's position as an emperor is to stand with the broadest and smallest masses.

Nowadays, everyone is in danger.

Huang Zicheng added: "Please also ask Your Majesty Taisun to name that newspaper."

That is, public opinion propaganda (thought control) and violent institutions.

"Bad name!" Huang Zicheng exclaimed: "The poor monk will go and organize it."

Sounds, whether small or loud, rang in my ears.

It just keeps causing trouble, just because I want to use it to start a small case and clean up the officialdom.
