When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was also slightly startled: "What, you mean there is no one in the School of the Ministry of Industry now?"
"This is easy to handle. I'll just send a notice and ask all the craftsmen in Yingtian City to come to school."
"What else does this need to advertise?"
In Zhu Yuanzhang's simple mind, there was no such thing as sales promotion and advertising.
The opening of the Ministry of Industry and Engineering School is a good thing.
No one came, which only means that the people have not realized that this is a great thing.
If that's the case, wouldn't it be enough to just issue an administrative order?
The twisted melon is not sweet, but it quenches thirst.
As long as the people go to school, they will naturally understand the goodness of the Ministry of Industry School.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, as long as this administrative order is given, there is nothing that cannot be done.
However, when Hu Changan heard this, he smiled: "Your Majesty, although this administrative order is effective, in my opinion, there is still something wrong."
"Learning this kind of thing has always been based on your will and my will from ancient times to the present."
"Although His Majesty's order can keep their bodies in the school, it cannot keep their spirits."
"Studying is harder for older people. If you don't want to study subjectively, it will definitely be a disaster."
"I believe that Your Majesty would never want to work so hard to build a Ministry of Industry school, only to find in the end that all the students there are dozing off in class."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was also silent.
Indeed, learning this kind of thing cannot be forced.
Although he can fill the newly built Ministry of Industry School with people in an instant, he cannot make all those who come fall in love with learning in an instant.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled: "Hu Aiqing, how can you be so sure that your advertisement will be effective?"
"What if after you advertise, it still doesn't work?"
This time, it was Hu Changan who smiled: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm even not 100% sure about this, but I'm 80% sure."
"Don't worry, just leave this matter to me."
"In a month, I will definitely fill this school of the Ministry of Industry with students who are eager for talents!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was also doubtful.
However, he has no other means besides issuing rigid administrative orders.
In this case, let's just believe in Hu Chang'an.
Looking at Hu Changan, Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "In that case, I will leave this matter to you, Hu Aiqing."
"Within two months, we will set up this newspaper and ensure that there are enough students in the school of the Ministry of Industry."
When Hu Changan heard this, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
...
Qiangzi is an ordinary blacksmith in Yingtian City.
On this day, after a busy day of work, he came to Hu's Tea House to listen to books as usual.
Today, Hu's Teahouse has become the first teahouse in Yingtian City.
All old tea drinkers are proud to hear the storytellers in Hu's Teahouse.
The storytelling at Hu's Tea House is truly wonderful.
Especially the novel about Hu's Tea House is even more exciting.
From the original "A Dream of Red Mansions" to the current "Water Margin", every book is a complete masterpiece.
These novels are so addictive that after listening to the first one, I still want to read the next one.
So gradually, Qiangzi also became a frequent visitor to Hu's teahouse.
After not listening to the stories in Hu's teahouse for a day, Qiangzi felt uncomfortable all over.
On this day, Qiangzi came to Hu's teahouse as usual to listen to books.
However, unexpectedly, the person who took the stage today was not Mr. Bai, who usually talks about stories, but a young man wearing shorts.
When the tea guests saw this, they immediately started shouting.
"Why, aren't we going to talk about "Water Margin" today? I also want to hear the follow-up story!"
"I come all the way here every day just to listen to "Water Margin". You can't stop talking about it temporarily!"
"That's right, let's start talking about "Water Margin" soon, I can't wait!"
However, when the young man heard this, he did not panic. He just smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, we can still talk about "Water Margin" today."
"Before talking about "Water Margin", I will read the newspaper for everyone and adjust the atmosphere."
Newspaper? What the hell is this?
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other in shock.
It seems that they have never heard of newspapers before.
At that moment, someone asked: "Brother, what is this newspaper? Why have I never heard of it?"
Hearing this, the young man also smiled slightly and said: "This newspaper is actually the Di newspaper that the officials read."
"Recently, His Majesty has gone out of his way to show mercy and issued a newspaper for us common people."
"What the officials read is called Di Bao, but what we ordinary people read is called newspaper."
"It is said that the content in this newspaper is almost the same as that in the Di newspaper!"
When everyone heard this, they all became interested.
Naturally, they had heard of the official newspaper.
Sometimes people even collect expired newspapers to show their identity.
Although I am not a government official and cannot read the latest Di newspapers, it is still good to read the expired Di newspapers.
But now, what did this guy say?
Common people like them actually have their own newspapers!
In the audience, some people were already impatient: "Brother, please read this newspaper to us quickly. We also want to become an official!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this informal remark.
However, everyone's eyes were still staring at the young man with sparkling eyes.
Everyone wants to hear this newspaper published specifically for the common people!
Seeing that he had successfully aroused everyone's interest, the young man stopped trying to make excuses.
Taking out a newspaper from his arms, the young man started reading it in a measured tone: "In March of the 14th year of Hongwu, a flower-picking bandit caused chaos in Jiangning County..."
In fact, the contents of this newspaper are excerpts from some interesting cases published in the newspaper, and are reproduced in vivid ways.
Although this is still a little inferior to the eye-catching news headlines of later generations, it is enough for the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone was fascinated by the interesting stories.
When talking about bullies bullying civilian girls, everyone was filled with indignation and wanted to rush up and fight the bully.
When it was mentioned that the widow was bankrupt, everyone couldn't help but feel sad and wished they could take out money to support the widow on the spot.
Originally, the content in the newspaper was very vivid, and the young man's tone was also ups and downs, well-proportioned, which aroused everyone's interest.
Soon, I finished reading a small newspaper.
When everyone saw this, they still seemed a little unsatisfied.
They want to hear this kind of interesting news for a while longer!
