Chapter 388 Special Examination Cultural Invasion II
"This is a long process, and it takes three to four generations of accumulation before it can be effective. Naturally, your responsibility is not until the end of this process. What you need to do is just preliminary work." Xie Xin looked at it with a smile.
Everyone in the first place.
In fact, everyone knew that their mission was actually like this. But when they heard what Xie Xin said, they were relieved. After all, no matter how respectful they are to their teachers, they would not really dedicate their youth and life to it.
In the midst of a long plan with no immediate payoff?
"Based on the careers you choose, I have formulated different tasks. All you need to do is to complete the tasks I assigned you within one year. Students who can complete the tasks perfectly will not only graduate successfully, but also
I will personally write you a recommendation letter!
Those who have not completed the exam will be awarded between 60 and 99 points depending on your level of completion. These scores will be directly written into your graduation evaluation and will follow you for the rest of your life. Don't plan on complaining, you have to take the exam.
As for those who give up halfway and actively defect to the enemy, your exam results will fail. At that time, you can choose to leave my school, or come back and re-study for one year to make up the exam.
And for those who dare to betray your classmates, no matter where you are in the world, I will make your souls fly to pieces. I can say this and I can do it!" At the end of Xie Xin's words, a murderous aura that turned into reality filled the air.
The people present were all little brats who had never fought before. Naturally, they were unable to resist Xie Xin's murderous intent. They all turned pale for a moment and kept pinching their own necks, hoping that they could squeeze themselves artificially to get some breathing.
Probably realizing that these guys couldn't stand it any longer, Xie Xin took back his murderous intent.
"Understood?" Xie Xin said with a smile.
"Absolutely understand!" everyone replied in unison.
"Then, let's start arranging your tasks now. Come and collect the ones whose names you have read. The content of the tasks can only be known to you, and you must not tell anyone!" Xie Xin took out a small box, then opened it and took out a
Fold envelopes.
Everyone didn't know why Xie Xin asked so seriously, but many people still guessed the intention of Xie Xin.
To put it bluntly, it is very simple, it is to protect themselves. The premise is that among the classmates present, there is the possibility of betraying everyone and betraying them.
Okay, maybe you are overthinking it? Those smart people couldn't help but murmur to themselves. In fact, they understood to some extent. Maybe this was Xie Xin's way of preventing this situation from happening.
But as long as there is such a chance, then you have no choice but to be cautious.
……………………Dividing line……………………
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
Xie Xin had already reached an agreement, or some kind of deal, with the monks and monsters in the south, so the monks and monsters stationed in the south dispersed and no longer appeared directly in the Chinese Republic.
Of course, they didn't actually leave, they just moved underground from sight. And the main reason for doing that was probably to monitor and confirm whether Xie Xin had fulfilled his contract.
The four newspapers of the Han Empire have now achieved considerable success. The most recent issue of the Han Dynasty newspaper directly sold 300,000 copies. Except for 20,000 copies purchased by people from Sizhou, the others were
They are purchased by merchants in various offices and then quickly shipped to various places for sale.
As for the remaining three newspapers, due to the different scope of public opinion and different content, the sales volume is somewhat different, but at least they all remain above 200,000 copies.
To be honest, for a newspaper that costs only one penny and is 16 pages long, covering a total of four sheets, shipping it to other places is just a matter of paying the freight. However, with the emergence of "advertising", businesses from all over the world are willing to help.
transportation.
At most, it's just a reduction in advertising costs. To be honest, who doesn't want their own brand of stores to be seen by more people? There is nothing wrong with helping to sell them in various places.
In any case, various opinions of the Han Empire began to spread to various places. Even because of their novelty, many of them spread to the south.
Many people in the south also know that there is a suzerain country in the north, but they don’t know what the north is like. And many people know what the north is like, but they haven’t been back for a long time and want to know how their hometown is, so they will more or less
When buying newspapers, the price they pay for them is no more than two cents anyway.
The first newspaper was introduced to the South a month ago, and now, one month later, 50,000 copies of each issue are sold to the South.
It's just that this trend didn't last long, and changes came.
The parliament and the great President Sima made a decision to ban all northern newspapers from entering the Chinese Empire from now on. In addition, from now on, the Chinese Empire established an "Information Bureau" and launched the official "Southern Kingdom News".
It was originally intended to be called "Hua Xia Bao", but unfortunately this name was also taken by the Northern China Party... As for "Gong Hua Bao", it obviously offended the interests of many, many people. After all, the Hua Xia Republic said it was a republic, but in fact it was called a republic.
The name of the republic is just to continue to play with feudalism.
The main reason why northern newspapers were banned was that northern newspapers not only described how beautiful the lives of the people in the north were, but also listed the miserable lives of the two people behind the four in the south.
Over time, the third and fourth-class people will naturally become dissatisfied, and the four-class system will obviously be overthrown.
As for the "Nan Guo Bao" after it was published, it naturally followed the pattern of those newspapers in the north and started praising the country and satirizing the north. The promotion of advertising also made this newspaper a lot of money.
But soon Sima Yi found out helplessly that the subscription rate of this newspaper was actually less than 10,000 copies... and the main buyers of the newspaper were various aristocratic families, and there were almost no common people.
Why?
The entire classical Chinese article is not as easy to understand as the northern vernacular. This situation was once used by Nan Guo Bao to criticize the north, saying it was 'vulgar'.
Secondly, the main thing is the emergence of border markets. Just three months ago, the Han Empire closed all borders and did not allow anyone from the Chinese Empire to enter or exit. However, in order to facilitate trade, a large number of border markets were set up on the border areas to facilitate transactions.
The price is very fair, and it saves a lot of merchants the trouble of shipping.
Naturally, everyone was overjoyed at first, but after the newspaper came out, Sima Yi discovered that this system directly prevented people from the south from entering the north, and naturally they could not get any specific information about the north.
Under such circumstances, no one knows how good or bad the North is. All the words criticizing the North only come and go in a few words, and they are hollow and boring. Naturally, after a long time, there is nothing to read again.
From the north to the south, because the north is the sovereign state, the people of the Han Empire can enter and leave the south anytime and anywhere. What the Republic can do is to restrict these people, or monitor their every move throughout the process, but it cannot refuse them
Enter.
The reason is also very simple. The representative of the monks said: "When the North takes the initiative to attack the South, no matter what the excuse is, we will do our best to stop them. No one can change this fact.
But if the south provokes an invasion, we will regard the south as having the ability to fight a decisive battle with the north, so we will stop guarding the south."
According to the definition of this sentence, once the northern citizens who came to the south were illegally violated and gave the northern Han Empire an excuse to invade the south, the monks and monsters would not help.
Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, Sima Yi could only use more manpower and material resources to restrict the Chinese people who went south to contact third- and fourth-class people.
Why restrictions?
Because someone reported early on that when these guys saw third- and fourth-class people, they would greet them cordially, and then talk about the wealth and happiness in the north in a few sentences. Finally, they would be surprised and ask why they had to pay so much.
More taxes and obligations...
Well, Sima Yi felt that if there were no restrictions, the Four People's System would not need to be implemented.
"Vernacular must be switched to vernacular, otherwise we will not be able to sell a cent of our newspapers! In addition, we should increase the description of the lives of the first third and fourth class people who are promoted to first and second class people, so that those untouchables can have some
An expectation!" In the parliament, Sima Yi seriously emphasized these two points to the head of the Information Bureau.
"But our reporters don't bother to use vernacular!" Guan Qiujian, the head of the Information Bureau, said with a wry smile.
"That's good. The main channel will still be in classical Chinese; but all the other channels will be in vernacular. If those reporters from aristocratic families are not willing, then they will be replaced by reporters from poor families!" Sima Yi had a headache and decided to compromise.
If there is no compromise, the next president will have to be replaced.
"But would those aristocratic families really agree to allow vernacular texts to appear in newspapers?" Guan Qiujian wondered.
"There is no reason for them to disagree with this. It is related to the unity within the Chinese Republic. The use of vernacular is already an urgent matter. We have not dismissed those children from aristocratic families who are the main writers. We are just recruiting some children from poor families who can write in vernacular. There is no conflict.
?" Sima Yi couldn't help but said helplessly.
"Let me try...if it doesn't work, I hope your Excellency the President will forgive me..." Guan Qiujian asked tentatively.
"It's okay, you can try it first! As for those aristocratic families, I'll sort out their thoughts!" Sima Yi gritted his teeth and said.
After Guanqiu Jian left, Sima Yi soon met Zhu Zhi, the head of the National Security Bureau. This guy is a descendant of the Zhu family, one of the four major families in Jiangdong. He is an absolute local snake in Jiangdong. Although he needs literary talent but not literary talent, he needs force.
He doesn't have much force, but he is the most suitable candidate to serve as the director of the Security Bureau.
"What's new recently?" Sima Yi asked casually.
"To be honest, there are only a few newspapers from the north that have flowed into the south through various channels, and then began to spread in areas where third- and fourth-class citizens... It is a pity that some people in our country have done such things.
People from aristocratic families." Zhu Zhi said regretfully.
"Do you know who it is?" Sima Yi raised his eyebrows, but did not get angry.
"Here is the list!" Zhu Zhi took out the list and placed it in front of Sima Yi.
"Well... all of them will be reduced to fourth-class citizens! Anyone who refuses to accept will be killed on the spot!" Sima Yi looked at the list and after confirming that there were no critical families, he said casually.
"This..." Zhu Zhi also didn't expect that Sima Yi didn't seem angry, but made such a tough decision.
"It's also good to set an example for others... After all, those newspapers in the north are really destructive to the stability of our country. By the way, who created this newspaper thing?" Sima Yi said at the end.
, it’s just a complaint.
"I heard it's a letter of thanks from Huaxia Academy!" Zhu Zhi replied cautiously.
"Sure enough, it's him..." After hearing that name, Sima Yi couldn't help but shook his head.
