Chapter 197 Magic Tower! Build a magic tower! (6k) (Additional update 4)
The second page of the newspaper tells the first chapter of a serialized story about the war in the "Three Kingdoms" plane. The author is Lin Ke.
The entire second page of the newspaper was written about the first chapter of the novel "Three Kingdoms". Laplace stood there and read it, fascinated.
"This story is worthy of being a teacher..." Laplace knew how powerful Lin Ke was. Anyway, in his memory, there was nothing that Lin Ke couldn't do.
"His Royal Highness Lin Ke said that this story will be serialized for a long time, which means that it will be published in the newspaper every month." The store manager next to him explained.
"good."
After reading it, Laplace was still not satisfied, but then he was attracted by the fourth page of the newspaper.
What is written above is the love affair of a necromancer. It is exciting and superficial. The author is a person named "Red", and it seems to be an independent story.
Next, is a current event.
"The Elk Viscount and the Reindeer Viscount launched a three-month pea war! The cause turned out to be..."
Laplace was naturally attracted by the title and read on.
The Viscount of Elk and the Viscount of Reindeer had a dispute over a patch of wild peas at the intersection of their territories, and finally launched a three-month war after submitting a petition for war.
Each side selects 2,000 farmers in their territory to enter a mountain to fight. They will not be able to come out until three months later. Whichever side has more people left will win.
It is said that both viscounts gave orders to their subjects. If they lose, it will damage the honor of the nobility. In that case, they will kill all the farmers and their families.
This is what the title of this edition is about.
"Stupid and cruel." Laplace commented.
After staying with Lin Ke for a long time, coupled with the education he received since childhood, he naturally looked down on such a decadent and stupid aristocrat.
After reading this current event, Laplace's eyes were attracted to the next panel.
Page 4…
Page five...
Page six...
…
All sixteen pages of paper were read by Laplace within an hour, in a noisy and chaotic environment!
And after reading it, he still had some aftertaste. If the servant hadn't reminded him, he would probably have read it again from beginning to end.
This thing...
It seems more interesting than mathematics!
Laplace didn't know that in Lin Ke's previous life, he had a company called Dou, which made things that would make people watch videos for hours, but it would humbly provoke people's desires.
Curiosity, passion, desire to buy, etc., and it also uses big data and precise algorithms to make you cry, laugh, get angry, and feel happy while watching videos.
Lin Ke's newspaper only placed various information in an orderly manner.
However, although it cannot achieve the big data effect of the previous life, it is still very attractive to people.
That night, Laplace showed the newspaper to his father, Marquis de Ice.
then……
From then on, every month, the Marquis on the Ice would send someone to buy the latest newspaper. According to people at the Ice Castle, his master even read it while taking a bath.
Of course, Laplace doesn't know either.
Because after he knew that Lin Ke had built a city in the great swamp south of Azan, he told the Marquis on the Ice that he was going to find Lin Ke, and got the Marquis on the Ice's consent.
So, he set off.
…
Not only the giant city on the ice, but also the "paper products" stores in the entire Gula Kingdom have newspapers issued every January.
As soon as this newspaper was sold, it received great praise. No matter how big or small, nobility, literate civilians, and professionals, they all rushed to buy it.
You must know that in this era, the channels for obtaining information are extremely scarce, which also causes everyone to like to join in the fun and like bards.
After all, most of the new things people know in their lifetime come from the poems of bards.
The previous bulletin board was already very attractive, but after all, it was just some small announcements and a few anecdotes from other noble territories.
But today’s newspapers are so large that they can’t manage enough!
As a result, the newspaper was sold out as soon as it came out, and even in some giant cities there was not enough to sell.
Fortunately, Mrs. Montenegro now has several level 10 Kuku birds, and the transmission speed is extremely fast, so the papermaking rooms throughout Azane worked overtime to meet the needs of the Gula Kingdom in the first month.
The feedback in the first month alone was enough for [Author] Hong, who joined Lin Ke, to obtain two levels of feedback and successfully work part-time in Lin Ke's newly created profession: [Journalist].
Therefore, Lin Ke, who had a [journalist] career, immediately enlightened and trained a group of [journalists] and directly spread them to various places to record and collect information.
Then the second month's newspaper will have more pages and richer content. The basic prototype of the newspaper, a twenty-page newspaper, has been basically finalized.
The third month, the fourth month, the fifth month...
The nobles have become accustomed to having their servants wait at the paper product store at the beginning of every small month to buy the latest issue of the newspaper.
The information in the entire Gula Kingdom is no longer a stagnant water like before, but is flowing rapidly.
People in the far north can know what interesting things happened in Azane in the far south, and people on the eastern coast can also know that the Great Lord in the western mountains is recruiting guards.
In short, the newspaper suddenly became popular!
Especially later, Lin Ke also launched a monthly newspaper, local weekly newspaper and city daily newspaper, and the newspapers became even more overwhelming.
However, due to the low literacy rate, Lin Ke has not always had a large output and has always maintained a profitable level.
In the end, it was said that even Emperor Wu Mian became accustomed to reading the newspaper, and it was only later that he learned that Princess Lika actually owned shares in the newspaper, but he just smiled and said nothing.
And today, four years later, ten-year-old Lin Ke finally decided to build a magic tower!
…
Azane Castle.
"Lin Ke, have you made your decision?" Garose looked at his son who was growing so fast in front of him and felt weak.
Isn’t it just powerless?
Except for the fact that his level and force level are lower than his own, his son has completely defeated his father in everything else.
In the past two years, from tax reform to the development of newspapers, from the invention of farm tools to encouraging trade, Azan has completely changed from what it used to be.
The originally lazy farmer, driven by his son's so-called "subjective initiative", not only did not reduce the gold coins and grain in Azan's warehouse, but actually there were so many that they could no longer hold them!
At the beginning, his subordinates had various doubts about Lin Ke, including the nobles of Azane. After all, this was related to their lifeline for survival.
In the eyes of the Azane nobles, the once domineering and cold-blooded Garose, in front of Lin Ke, a more terrifying and intelligent lord, was just like a little sheep in front of a giant dragon, docile and cute.
After all, Garosei still abided by the rules back then, but Lin Ke killed a lot of nobles due to various things during the war.
Therefore, Lin Ke issued a decree, and those Azans did not dare to disobey and contradict Lin Ke. Naturally, they could only complain to Garose, the real king of Azans.
Garrosi also had doubts. After all, what Lin Ke did was to reduce taxes. Why did Lin Ke say that doing so would actually increase taxes?
As a result, reality taught Garrosi and the others a harsh lesson.
Those lazy and cunning farmers used to work hard and lazily.
And now?
Everyone worked vigorously in the fields, plowing a lot of land in one day with the "curved shaft plow" invented by Lin Ke.
The grain output in the first year was more than three times that of the previous year, and several Azan's warehouses could no longer hold it!
It can’t be piled up in one year, let alone three years?
So after two consecutive years, Lin Ke encouraged trade and sold all the excess grain in Azan's territory to Earl Akli.
This benefits both parties, even three parties, and many parties.
In addition to these, there are also regulations on urban tidiness, regulations on noble restraint, regulations on intensive farming, regulations on worker protection, etc.!
A series of regulations and laws all proved the wise decision of Count Linco and the young master of Azane.
As a result, now even Garose, the father, can hardly hold his head up in front of Lin Ke!
