"I can't understand it, but it looks very powerful... What does this mean??"
"This is the crux of the matter. Don't forget the classics of the sages, they all make it clear. The emperor's duty is nothing greater than etiquette! And etiquette is nothing greater than fame, and fame is nothing greater than proportion."
"If we want to protect the interests of our family, we must firmly grasp this 'share'. How to grasp it, then we must have a reputation. But how to obtain a reputation? This article naturally starts with etiquette!"
Wang Jing smiled slightly.
Speaking of which...
Among the people with the five surnames and Qiwang, no one is more knowledgeable than Pei Ji. But when it comes to political understanding, Wang Jing is really not bad.
After saying this, everyone looked thoughtful, and then Wang Jing said, "So the key point is that we have to compete with Li Er for this 'ceremony'. What is this 'ceremony' and is it etiquette?"
It’s really just…hehe, no.”
"The so-called etiquette is something that allows people in the world to keep their status. In the final analysis, it is a saying. And if we want to fight with Li Er, we will definitely not be able to win against him head-on, so we still have to compete with this saying to see who is the most powerful. Everyone...
…Isn’t that why we are so worried about this matter this time? But now that we have newspapers and other things, isn’t it still a good opportunity!”
Wang Jing was also nervous and confused before. After all, this matter is in someone else's hands and it is someone else's weapon.
But when Lu Changgeng, Zheng Taishan and others reminded him of Pei Ji's explanation, he immediately understood that this weapon could be used and produced by a junior like Company Commander Sun Chong after all.
Then why can't I use it? So, it's easy.
After understanding this, Wang Jingdun felt relieved, and the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes team...
The next step is, of course, to run this newspaper myself...
…
But it is said that Li Er's recent cultural and educational undertakings have finally been successfully promoted.
And the progress of the advancement was incredible. Although it caused an uproar in the court at first - Li Er certainly saw that these officials from the aristocratic family faction were deliberately opposed.
But making the people of the world literate is a great good thing that no one in the world can object to.
His Majesty initiated it, the people supported it, and it didn’t cost much.
Even if the officials and ministers below object, how can they object?
There is absolutely no way to object!
And being unable to object means that they can only accept this result. What else can they do?
Li Er was very satisfied now.
As the saying goes, you have to clean the house so that you can entertain guests. Only when the country and the people are in peace can things outside be carried out easily.
Now that most of Mobei has been pacified, the empire's fleet is exploring all over the South China Sea. It has achieved certain results and has explored some routes to move further south in the South China Sea.
Just waiting for the next stage, more big ships can be built and developed - the real big ships are specialized cargo ships and warships, not armed merchant ships that smell like bandits.
And all of this requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
Everyone in the world knows that Zhuge Liang is powerful, and the most powerful thing about Zhuge Liang is his political ability. His governance ability is extremely good. In the midst of a full-scale war, the people in the country can't even feel that there is a war, and they can live their lives in the same way during the war.
And Li Er asked himself that he definitely didn't have that ability, so many things in Datang itself had to be arranged in advance.
If you want to fight, you must first plow. Now we have potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the scope of promotion has covered a quarter of the country, so we can have no worries about food.
To face the battle, just being able to farm is not enough. Datang needs to cultivate talents!
This is also the time when manpower is needed most, and education must be focused. And more importantly, the educational monopoly of wealthy families must be broken.
The first one was done, and the second one went so smoothly,
Despite all this...
It was so that in the end, Datang could regain the glory of the Han Dynasty and make further efforts.
But Li Er can already think of it. Now that everyone in the world can start to read, he is afraid that he will be praised a lot in the future...
Hehe, it would be bad if people were blown away too much...
In the past few days, Li Er was always smiling whether he was going to court or having small meetings with Wei Zheng and the others.
But that afternoon, when Li Er asked Wei Zheng and others to have a meeting, he smiled silly again, but he saw that Wei Zheng had a serious look on his face.
"Why is Your Majesty laughing?"
After thinking about it, Wei Zheng felt that he still had to mention it.
As the number one troll in the Tang Dynasty, I haven’t been trolling for a long time recently, and my mouth is really itchy. Besides...
Li Er let out a somewhat embarrassed hey and scratched the back of his head, "There have been so many good things lately, I just can't help it... Haha!"
Li Er's reaction was just a habitual reaction. It was just a small talk, not a correct question.
But as he spoke, he was somewhat aware of Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, and Fang Xuanling in front of him...
The faces of these people are not very good-looking.
Now Li Er couldn't help but become serious. What's going on?
Could something happen?
Then, Li Er also said seriously, "What's wrong with you guys? It seems...did I miss something again?"
Wei Zheng and others looked at each other, and Fang Xuanling, who was on the last side, smiled awkwardly and said that he was in charge of civil affairs, so this was considered his responsibility.
After thinking about it for a while, he continued, "Your Majesty, it's not a big deal, but... Your Majesty, you know that something called a 'newspaper' has appeared in Chang'an recently..."
"What is a newspaper?"
Li Eryi was startled, this thing is really...never heard of it.
And judging by the expressions on these guys, I guess it's not a big deal.
"This newspaper... what kind of paper is it made of? Who created it?"
…
When Li Er asked this question, Wei Zheng and others laughed bitterly.
What is a newspaper?
This matter is really a long story for a child to tell, but that's not what they want to talk about, but there are some problems with this newspaper.
Wei Zheng shook his head and sighed, "Your Majesty, let's not talk about the origin of this newspaper. In short, this thing is not a kind of paper, but a kind... similar to a book!"
"Like a book?"
"That's right. However, a normal book can be called a book only by binding countless pieces of paper together. But a newspaper is a large piece of paper spread out, and various articles are printed on the paper, each occupying the space."
"print……"
Hearing these two words, Li Er frowned slightly.
There are many pages on a piece of paper, and each page contains articles with different contents. He understood this, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but the printing...
This is the current high-end technology of Datang. How can anyone among the people master it?
Although there is nothing surprising, and there is no royal law that prohibits people from owning printing equipment, so I can only check the situation first.
And then, Wei Zheng said...
This newspaper was originally founded by Chang Sun Chong.
Yes, it was the boy from Changsun Wuji's family - everyone looked embarrassed just now and didn't want to say it, it was because of this.
