Section 140: Special Publicity

"It doesn't matter the plot of the relationship between Mingjiao and Daming, the big library has been deleted. It's nothing.

Zhu Baba's plot has also been revised, and there will be no taboos. "Zhao Yinggong," it's just that the plot is a bit blunt, and it's really weird. ”

Zhou Dongtian nodded. The export of books to the Ming Dynasty was not so much for the sake of making money, but rather the need for external propaganda work -- exporting new scientific and technological concepts, values, and cultural views, propagating the "Australian way of life", disturbing the minds of the common people and intellectuals of the Ming Dynasty, and imperceptibly engaging in "peace/peace/evolution/change". Although this method cannot change the face of the whole society, it will at least plant the seeds of "pro-Australia" in the minds of some people. Cultivate a group of "leading the way" to reduce the resistance to future social reform.

However, the export of books involves the social and historical background in literary and artistic works and the diffusion of jishu in popular science works. Zhou Dongtian knew that in order to export which types of Jishu books and which Jishu had to be restricted and kept secret, there was a great debate within the Senate. Some elders believe that no science and technology should be exported, while others believe that the diffusion of some basic knowledge will promote the whole cause.

Zhou Dongtian believes that the current European missionaries are vigorously using the export of European science and culture to attract some people of insight within the Ming Dynasty to believe in Christianity. In contrast, Australian goods are mostly shown as "KitKat", and many people have shown a strong interest in the Australian science and technology culture, which is superior to Western technology, and if they keep it secret only for some illusory "threat", they will only keep this part of the people out.

Of course, he is not in favor of the unrestricted and random spread of jishu, but there is no harm in spreading a lot of common sense. For example, at the beginning of this printing, it was easy to understand in the eyes of the patriarchs, but in this time and space, it is definitely high-tech. In the old time and space, this popular science book was read by "those who have a level of early Chinese in urban and rural areas", and those of such a level are not unique and rare in this time and space.

In the sixties and seventies, many popular science books and agricultural science and technology series were compiled for rural youth and educated youth, and many of them could be used to publish and sell to the Ming Dynasty. Although most of their ultimate fate is to be hidden as some kind of "strange book" in a library that is easily unrevealed.

Some simple knowledge and jishu diffusion, under the current conditions, will not pose any threat to the Senate at all. Under the material conditions of the agricultural era, much of the knowledge and jishu that were diffused were completely impractical. Because the social environment has no possibility of realizing it at all. On the contrary, many people who are interested in this will find that the only place where they can really realize their ambitions and ideals is Lingao・・・・・・

As for some jishu that are practical in the current social environment, such as farming and breeding, they are only good for Lingaolai, because the senate has a strong demand for agricultural products. From this point on, the agricultural jishu of the Ming Dynasty can only be improved to the traverser.

Limited export technology, a large amount of export culture, this is the diffusion route determined by the Senate.

"After this batch of books is sold, there should be more demand." Zhou Dongtian smiled, "I think the lethality of comics will be great, in fact, Jin Yong's books are still limited to what we can pirate, not as good as a large number of pirated Liang Yusheng and Chen Qingyun, by the way, there is also a pearl lord - Sword Immortal should have more appetite for Ming people, right?" ”

The two discussed the next step of the publishing business, and Zhou Dongtian, a group of veterans, will soon return to Lingao. He intends to continue this cultural invasion in Lingao.

"The next group will be the veterans of the engine operation, and there will be a lot of traffic here. It's going to be more tiring. ”

"It's my job." Zhao Yinggong said, "I plan to arrange for these people to go to Phoenix Villa, there is no need to arrange for them to enter Hangzhou anymore - if Zhang Dai goes out to publicize it, Qinghefang will soon become a lively cultural salon." The patriarchs are still less lamentary. ”

"Of course. Of course. Has the current underground organization been built? ”

Zhao Yinggong was a little confused, but he quickly understood that Zhou Dongtian was a secret organization that had nothing to do with his public identity and the Shanhai system.

"Does the Black Dragon have a system? I haven't done it yet - it's a pretty dangerous job, and it takes strong indigenous actors to work effectively. Zhao Yin bowed, "People are too strong to control; People are not ruthless enough, and they are useless. He asked rhetorically, "Any plans?" ”

"A few days ago, there was a telegram to me from Lingao."

Zhao Yingong nodded, the telegram was received by the radio station of Hangzhou Station, but it was used as the password of other departments, he didn't know the contents, only the header was clearly received by Zhou Dongtian.

"Actually, the content is very simple, it's about Zhu propaganda・・・・・・" Zhou Dongtian moaned his beard. The so-called 'special propaganda' is a "black word" invented by Zhao Manxiong, and its essence is the meaning of "spreading rumors to confuse the public".

The work of "special propaganda" began in Guangzhou after the victory of the second anti-encirclement and suppression, and the Guangzhou station distributed a large number of "special propaganda" pamphlets, using anecdotes and various "truths" to shake the social foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

Facts have proven that sex and politics have always been popular with the masses, and although this kind of propaganda will not change any reality in a short period of time, it is clear that this method is effective because of the flood of "truth" after the mass distribution of pamphlets. One of the characteristics of agrarian societies was that news was mainly transmitted by word of mouth, and the more sensational it was, the faster explosive news spread, and neither the government nor the gentry had sufficient means to refute rumors. In many cases, rumors can only be allowed to dissipate on their own.

However, the dissemination of this method must be carried out by a secret organization, and cannot be brought forward by a "public figure" such as Zhao Yinggong. Otherwise, once something happens, the foundation of Hangzhou Station will be ruined. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on an organization such as the "Black Dragon Society" that specializes in low-level work.

Zhao Yingong planned to take advantage of the drought in Zhejiang in |63|year~|632 to establish the underground organization of the Black Dragon Society by taking advantage of the relatively disorderly stage of social order. Of course, the specific organization personnel will be sent from Lingao. The Hangzhou station and this organization only maintain a one-line connection.

"The booklet can be printed with me. I'm going to set up another printing shop in Phoenix Villa, and I'm going to do it with a few woodblock printing craftsmen. Let the traffic officer bring the original book, and after I print it, I will quietly transport it out and hand it over to the Black Dragon Society to distribute. How about this? ”

"That's fine." Zhou Dongtian smiled, "I know that the organizers of the publishing guidance team have concocted a lot of messy things, which are basically the three-in-one of sex, politics and lies. I read a few books and it was really creative・・・・・・"

"Oh? Who wrote it. Zhao Yinggong was curious, he had seen the booklet of the so-called "truth text" in the Foreign Intelligence Bureau before he set off. It's decently knitted.

"It was done by a person named Zhang Haogu." Zhou Dongtian said, "Don't know him? He now holds the title of Director of the Truth Office in the Great Library. The books sold in Daming were all reviewed and revised by him.

"Zhang Haogu? It's a familiar name, but I can't remember who he is... ・・”

"Ahh Zhang Haogu sneezed, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his nose - Lingao did not have such a luxury as handkerchief paper, and the only household paper made in batches was straw paper for wiping buttocks and toilet paper for medical structures and fu women. There is nothing inconvenient about the reappearance of cotton handkerchiefs, which have long disappeared in the lives of the elders, anyway, there are female handkerchiefs who help them wash their clothes and wash their hands every day.

He looked at the manuscript paper in front of him, and it was densely filled with words - Zhang Haogu had his own computer, but in order to save the running life, he only had to perform some more important work; For example, it is used only when working such as "find", "replace", and "keyword search".

"It's finally finished." He stretched lazily. After moving his sore wrist, there was a thick pile of manuscript paper on the purple wood table, and the nibs of a dozen broken dipping pens had to be sent back to the warehouse to receive the new pen nibs according to the regulations. A finely crafted inkstand, which was bought from Macau and obtained from Europe.

Zhang Haogu picked up the manuscript on the table—on the cover was written a few big characters, a memory of a doctor in a hospital. The manuscript is thick, with about 300,000 words, which took Zhang Haogu's hard work. In order to write this book, he also asked Liu Sanhao a number of questions to ensure that the concepts of Chinese medicine in the book were correct.

Zhang Haogu is a veteran of literature, history and philosophy, and it is difficult to be reused in the Senate to avoid seeds. I have been messing around in the big library for a long time.

However, he blazed a trail and wrote to the Executive Committee on the issue of history, proposing that from now on it is necessary to systematically "create history" and "control history." He proposed that this department be called the "Ministry of Truth" to reflect that the truth from ancient times to the present day was in the hands of the Senate.

This proposal was "highly valued" by the Executive Committee, and Zhang Haogu was given the position of director of the newly established Truth Office. However, when he took office, he found that his main job was to work for the "Publishing Guidance Group". This non-permanent organization, composed of Ding Ding, a representative of the Ministry of Culture, Yu Eshui, a representative of the Great Library, and Zhou Dongtian, the director of the printing house, had to compile and publish a large number of books and pamphlets. @
