Chapter Eighty-Eight: A New Main Battlefield
Rorschach thought that the previous days were busy enough, after all, the staff was tight, but he didn't think about the fact that when there are enough people, there will always be more things to do than you can do.
People always lose track of time when they are busy, and the peace treaty between the three parties has been almost half a month, and Rorschach has the matter at hand...... But it is becoming more and more busy and trivial.
In the general direction, this is a good thing, after all, there will always be a lot of new work content in the upswing.
For example, what has been struggling with Rorschach recently is the distribution of news stations and newspaper publications in Horn City.
This is the job that Luo Li gave him before, Jiaocheng lacks advanced news organizations and business ideas, and the facts have proved the powerlessness of traditional entertainment in front of modern news media, and it is really a waste if such a large blank market is not eaten.
Whether it's a business venture, or from promoting the teachings of the game church to increase potential believers, or competing for control of public opinion and public opinion in Horn City, this is a good thing.
Especially at a time when officials like Sidien are not clear about the utility of modern media, and there are management vacancies and dislocations, this is the golden time to seize the opportunity to enter the market.
But isn't it a sentence, the fuller the ideal, the more skinny the reality.
"....... so many things for me to do alone, I can't even do it when I'm tired. ”
None of the first Advent of the Game Church understood this, and it was already very hard to spread out in New Tonya City, and those new "Ash (stowaways)" were barely enough to train, but if they were stationed in Horn City, those Ash would obviously not be able to.
The reason is actually very simple, the language is just different.
The Seymour language has thirty-seven primary letters and twenty-one secondary characters, which is more complex to learn than English, but definitely much simpler than Chinese.
In New Tonya City, there is a situation where readers can only look at pictures and cannot read words, of course, the situation will change over time, thousands of literacy classes in Tonya City are stepping up to popularize Ash's lingua franca, but it is not a matter of a while....... Rorschach is seriously considering launching a four-panel comic and phonetic story series, and is even preparing a pictorial magazine.
The Advent's belief panel usually has a language system built into it, so even if you don't plan to learn it seriously, you can really master the language of another race, and with the support of the belief system, simple conversations are no problem.
Rorschach is learning the language of the Seymours, and with the support of the language system, he learns very quickly, and there is no problem with the daily dialogue, but when it is written, it must not only be understandable, but also entertaining and interesting for people to watch, and it will take time.
And even if he really mastered it completely, he wrote it all by himself, even if he was tired to death, it would not be enough, not to mention that it was impossible for Rorschach to spend all his energy on it.
There were too many difficulties and bottlenecks, and Rorschach complained while also getting to work, taking one step at a time.
But in Horntown, when work really began, the situation became more and more complicated.
Media workers must be intellectuals, at least literate, but the literacy rate of the Seymour people is quite low, and most educated Seymour people are born as merchants, officials, and priests, and the literacy rate will never exceed 30%.
In such a situation, it is better to find a few bards to sing while traveling than relying on the news media.
And Rorschach intends to do just that, after all, the Ash people have a lot of experience in land reclamation, and there is a precedent for this situation.
In most cases, especially in a relatively primitive society, the storytellers and bards of taverns, inns, and dining halls were good agents for actively spreading the word.
But it really started to do it, but the result was very bad, first of all, Ash's bard is temporarily unusable here, and the language has not passed, and there is no such profession as a bard in the local area, musicians often work part-time as shamans, are vassals of religious priesthood, and the musical instruments are basically wooden drums or something.
"So how do you spread the word?"
"There is a special low-level official in every street, who is in charge of everything, and he can pass on orders from his superiors, and they are literate. But the common people basically don't spend money to learn to read, let alone talk about music, and there are no musicians in the Seymour language. ”
The answer given by the locals is really a bit desperate, even Luo Li regrets the original decision, it looks like selling an umbrella to a place where it doesn't rain.
After thinking about it carefully, Rorschach did not intend to give up, this was not an impossible task.
The general direction of the previous decision-making was not wrong, and the more barren the spiritual civilization, the more room there was to settle in, and it was nothing more than spending more time and energy, and the benefits were more and more amazing.
There are no bards and storytellers to use, and it doesn't matter, the Ishes have experts in this field if they are trained by the Seymour of the wasteland of New Tonia.
There's no Seymour story or music to tell?Translate Ash, or you can figure it out from the human resources of New Tonia City.
It's just that this work is destined to change from a short-term to a long-term one, and the first thing is to put the news station in Jiaocheng into operation and start the work in this area.
Moreover, it is very necessary, and sooner or later the work of the local news media will have to be arrested.
Many plans and methods were arranged and combined in Rorschach's mind, and the simplest, most effective and lowest-cost plan also came out, and it should not be difficult to find a Seymour to read newspapers and publications in public.
The next problem arises, the literacy rate of the Seymour people in Horn City is low, and the literacy rate of the Seymour people in the wasteland is even more miserable, that is, most of the high-ranking people of those tribes do not have the need to read.
In order to translate the Ich and become the language of the Seymours, it is necessary to have a skilled person in this field, and it is estimated that this is still a long-term job, and it needs to be stationed in Horntown for a long time.
But with the arrival of a person, none of this is a problem.
"Saintess Twana, Lori asked you to be the head of the news station?"
