Chapter 39 Develop newspapers, forced to eat melons
Bigan bowed and saluted: "Generally speaking, the living people used for sacrifices are orphans living on the streets, surrendered prisoners of war, and the lowest-level slaves. If some orphans are motivated, it will definitely cause the officials to
As a result of arousing anger, I am afraid that I will get burned."
All the civil servants present were trying to dissuade Emperor Xin from acting on his own initiative.
The etiquette of sacrificing living people seems to have been deeply ingrained in the eyes of these old guys.
Emperor Xin looked at all the civil servants who were vigorously admonishing him, sighed, and could only comfort Wang Quan a little.
After retreating from the court, Emperor Xin sent his palace officials to summon Huang Feihu and Wen Zhong to come and see him.
"If the great merchants want to become stronger, a continuous labor force is essential. I think that the etiquette of slavery and human sacrifice is too dehumanizing and wants to abolish it. I wonder what you think, my dear friends."
"I believe that it is not advisable to abolish the etiquette system."
Huang Feihu and Wen Zhong both saluted. They knew what the benefits of slavery were.
The abolition of slavery involves too many stakes, and they understand very well that one move can affect the whole body.
"Of course I know that this method is not advisable. I just want to know if my two beloved friends will support me."
"If the king needs it, I will fight to the death."
"I will obey the king's decree, lead the army, and will not hesitate even to the death."
Seeing the two men showing their loyalty, Di Xin was able to relax a bit.
The military reform he is most worried about now is only in its preliminary stages.
There absolutely can't be anything wrong.
It is difficult to control something like the army. Once it is exploited, you will probably stab yourself quietly.
The reason why King Zhou was defeated in the war with the Western Zhou Dynasty was because his army were all slaves.
It was expected that he would be killed and turned around.
Di Xin is a little unconfident now. He is particularly worried that if he emphasizes the development speed too fast, the sword of the army he has cultivated will turn against him.
"Where is Wucheng King Huang Feihu?"
"I am here, waiting for your Majesty's orders."
"You can immediately find all Chaoge's entertainment events and gossip news, print them on paper, mass-produce them as much as possible, and think of ways to sell them."
He could no longer put off the matter of newspapers. He needed to be able to communicate with the lowest level of the people through newspapers.
The princes, high-ranking officials, and the like have already decided to clean up their houses a long time ago, so they won't care if these old people dare to make mistakes, otherwise they will be left with nothing to eat.
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, and low-level people are also people. He needs the love of these people, so that big business can truly last for a long time.
After giving orders to Huang Feihu, Di Xin raised his hand and touched Wang Quan's head: "I will definitely make the decision for your friends, but the time has not come yet, so we can only wait and see what happens."
Huang Feihu is in charge of the newspaper and needs to occupy the top spot in the field of entertainment and gossip.
If you want to eradicate the system of slavery and the etiquette of sacrificing living people, you must have awareness. It is best if everyone knows about it.
Di Xin wants to thoroughly explore the gossip ability of the people who eat melon in the big merchants.
Which high-ranking official took a concubine again, which family's young master was arrested, and all kinds of strange news and gossip filled the entire newspaper.
There is also a big killer, clickbait.
You must earn enough attention from these melon-eaters so that they will feel itchy if they don’t read any gossip for a day.
When the habit of eating melons is almost cultivated, the focus will then shift to the abolition of slavery and the etiquette of sacrificing living people.
This is a big project that takes time to be successful.
After this incident, Di Xin also realized the necessity of cultural knowledge.
After he can make money from his salt and sugar, he must get one from the compulsory education.
Illiteracy and so on, all disappear!

Wu Yunxian once wrote a letter inviting the Ten Holy Lords of Jin'ao Island to come out and help the king.
These ten holy kings also arrived belatedly, but they have finally arrived.
Of course, setting up a banquet is indispensable.
During the dinner, Di Xin used his mouth dodge skills again and explained clearly the technique of teleportation array.
The purpose of creating the teleportation array is to make Dashang's public security stronger and make officers and soldiers everywhere more obedient to management.
The biggest purpose is to make human beings truly united.
The Ten Holy Heavenly Lords are quite capable in magic formations, which made Di Xin want to dig for treasures again.
"I dare to ask the ten sage kings if they can create a magic circle that can gather energy and operate on its own."
Qin Jie, who was the leader among the Ten Holy Kings, asked Emperor Xin: "Why is the king like this?"
Di Xin said: "I have a wonderful idea, which is to make the carriage and sedan run by themselves without horses or people."
"This, this is too unreasonable."
The ten holy kings all rejected Di Xin's fantastic idea.
The car moves by itself? How is that possible?
"Since the ten holy kings are like this, why not have a big gamble with Gu?"
"If I lose my bet, I will give the ten sage kings ten thousand taels of gold and a thousand beauties."
"If all the saints lose, then you don't have to go back to Jin'ao Island and can live and work in peace and contentment in my great business, how about that?"
The ten sage kings looked at each other and smiled: "Your Majesty, we are all cultivators and have no desire for this mundane thing. However, since your Majesty has spoken, we can only respect him rather than obey him."
Although the ten sage kings had no idea about money and beautiful women, they were surprisingly unanimous in wanting Di Xin to make a fool of himself.
These ten saints have practiced for hundreds of years and have achieved a little bit. They have never heard that a car can operate on its own. This is simply ridiculous.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, when will this bet begin and when will it end?" Zhao He, one of the Ten Holy Heavenly Kings, bowed and asked.
"May I ask some of the saints if they have the ability to move creations through space?"
"It's easy to pick up, it's not worth mentioning."
"Then I would like to ask the ten holy kings to please be patient and come back as soon as you go."
After saying this, Di Xin sent someone to find bronze.
[Successfully activate the mission of the Ten Holy Heavenly Kings, make them surrender, and reward them with the Human Emperor's Armor and six hundred years of cultivation. 】
[The Human Emperor's armor is a sacred object of the human race. If the human race believes that luck is there, then the armor will be there. 】
Seeing the system prompt popping up, Di Xin's eyes narrowed with joy.
This inconsistent system can be considered reliable for once, and finally we have a big treasure with full defense power.
Not bad.
He made a bet with ten sage kings, and all he could do was create a carriage that could move on its own without the need for horses or people.
Very simple~
As long as the flowers of the motherland have been washed by nine years of compulsory education, they can be found at hand.
