Chapter 453: The Second Newspaper

Chen Xu dropped the fishing rod and opened the envelope, which contained a newspaper and a letter.

Xin Chen Xu didn't read it, but opened the newspaper first.

This is the second Daqin Metropolis Daily officially issued.

The news live section on the front page featured three pieces of news.

The first is that the emperor issued an order to conquer Henan at the same time as the emperor led the civil and military officials to worship the Taimiao on the Shangsi Festival.

The second article is about the description and management job introduction of the institutions under the six ministries of the three provinces.

The third article is that the emperor invited more than a dozen celebrities to the court to discuss the national policy, and at the same time, he also officially announced the preparations for the history museum, the bookstore, the engineering college, and the agricultural college.

Chen Xu quickly finished reading the news on the front page with a glance.

These things were arranged before he left Xianyang, and also consulted Qin Shi Huang's opinion, the emperor naturally did not have any hesitation to publish these contents in the newspaper, through the first newspaper in Xianyang sales and the resulting enthusiastic exchanges and discussions, but also let him see the power of newspapers, with the newspaper continues to fuel, many policies above the court can be quickly spread to the people, more than a hundred times faster than the speed of the edict, and even in the future, the edict can be directly published in the newspaper, Merchants who traveled from various places would soon spread the edict to the whole of Great Qin.

The preparation for the establishment of the History Museum and the Bookstore will inevitably set off a wave of turmoil among the world's scholars, so that those disciples of the hundred schools who have nothing to do all day long and have ambitions and ideals will enthusiastically sign up to join them.

Chen Xu made up for the current situation in Xianyang City, it must be the situation of the hundred families jubilant, and this situation is also what he wants to see the most.

In addition to the news on the front page, other anecdotes and miscellaneous conversations, Chen Xuxian, who is farming and planting, skipped them all and went directly to the 100 opinions section.

This time, the Baijia Speech is still an article by Xun Qian, called "The Royal System", and in addition to Xunzi's article, there is also an article by Huang Lao's apprentice, advocating the concept of light and thin endowment and cultivation and recuperation.

There is a huge conflict between the rule of inaction advocated by Huang Lao's scholarship and the concept of governing the country by Legalism today, and the publication of these two articles together will inevitably cause a huge controversy among the people, and this controversy will inevitably be transmitted to the court.

These two articles were also arranged before Chen Xu left, and these two completely different strategies for governing the country also generated a huge controversy in the newspaper, but Chen Xu put them up against public opinion.

Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Chen Ping was still acting strictly according to his arrangement.

Controversy is not the goal, the purpose is to spread the newspaper as a new thing faster through this huge controversy, and the more intense the controversy, the faster it will spread.

At the end of these two articles, there is also a reward for essays, requiring that according to the different governing concepts of different schools such as Legalism, Confucianism, and Huang Lao, the entire Great Qin is solicited to be more suitable for the current development of Great Qin.

And this advertisement is bound to surprise the hundreds of scholars who are enthusiastic about promoting the idea of various autonomous states.

At the same time, one can also imagine how huge the shock will be caused when this newspaper spreads to the entire Great Qin.

Chen Xu sat by the river and spent twenty minutes reading the newspaper cursoryly, and actually saw a few questions he raised during the last interview in the Gonzo section.

"Q: When a person walks on the beach, why can't he see his footprints when he looks back?"

"Q: What is the secret of a person's longevity?"

"Q: If you can't kill an elephant, how can you accurately weigh it?"

"Question: There are 100 chickens and rabbits in the cage, and the number of legs of the chickens is 28 less than the number of legs of the rabbits.

There is also a reward for each of these questions, and one hundred dollars for a correct answer.

Chen Xu smiled slightly, folded the newspaper and stood up, and then opened the letter again.

The letter was written by Chen Ping, detailing the situation in Xianyang after the second newspaper came out, and it was really similar to Chen Xu's guess, hundreds of Fangshi were passionate, on the day of the first release, tens of thousands of newspapers were sold out in less than an hour, and countless people flocked to the newspaper to ask for purchases, and even countless businessmen came to the door to invite the editor-in-chief of the newspaper and even the school officials to eat and drink, and asked to buy a large number of newspapers, preparing to sell the Daqin Metropolis Newspaper to other counties through the caravan, because although the first newspaper was printed and sold for more than ten days, The number reached 20,000 copies, but the supply still exceeded demand, I heard that the newspaper is now hard to find in other counties, and the price has been speculated to hundreds of dollars, so Chen Ping had to ask the craftsman to engrave a large number of movable type again to increase the speed and quantity of printing, but he still can't keep up with the terrifying demand......

The content of the letter seems to be full of helplessness, but between the lines it reveals Chen Ping's incomparable pride and excitement, and many words are written with a feeling of incoherence.

This newspaper had been printed as early as when Chen Xu had not yet arrived in Wancheng, but when the supply exceeded demand, it took seven or eight days to arrange for someone to take it to Nanyang through the post guard.

And looking at this situation, this newspaper will be even more sensational than the first one, and it is estimated that the residual heat caused will last for at least more than a month.

In fact, Chen Xu is most looking forward to the third newspaper, because this is already more than ten days ago, according to the time calculation, the current task of conquering Henan has been halfway, if Li Xin is faster, it is estimated that when the third newspaper comes out, the war to conquer Henan will be over.

The era without radio and telephone really can't afford to hurt.

Leaving Xianyang, Chen Xu always felt that he was half a century behind the times.

And this was specially sent to him, as for those more remote places, if there are no scholars, there are no places frequented by businessmen, it is estimated that it will be a few months or even a year later to know the content of the newspaper, such as the war to conquer Henan, it would be good for one-third of the people in Daqin to know at the moment, and the rest are still cultivating the land and living a closed and simple life.

But in any case, judging from Chen Ping's letters, the Daqin Metropolis Daily has begun to show its prominence and begin to show its unique strength, and it will definitely have an unparalleled influence among the literate ministers and merchants.

"Chen Lang, why did you come back so early today and catch a few fish?"

Shui Qingrou was writing in the room, and when she saw Chen Xu coming in with a smile on his face, she quickly stood up and saluted.

"Gently, look at the newspaper that just arrived!" Chen Xu handed the newspaper in his hand to Shui Qingrou, then sat in front of the table with her soft body in his arms, and flipped through the script of "The Legend of the White Snake", which had already written a thick book, while a salty pig hand landed on a pair of full mountains.

Although Shui Qingrou has been accustomed to the daily teasing behavior of a certain beast marquis, the jade cheeks are crimson and sour, but after reading the newspaper for a while, she was completely attracted by the content of the newspaper, and began to read intently.

"As soon as this newspaper comes out, I am afraid that the world will be shaken, and it may cause huge shocks in the future, Chen Lang, you are declaring war on Li Si and the Legalist disciples who uphold the court, I am afraid that Chen Lang will face huge pressure in the future!"

Shui was soft, smart, and wise, and instantly saw the crux of the crux from the two articles of the hundred schools of thought and the advertisements soliciting statecraft, and turned his head to look at Chen Xu with a pair of big eyes, looking very worried.

"Hehe, this is inevitable, but don't be afraid, Li Si is very human desire and scheming, but as long as His Majesty does not object, he will not dare to blatantly suppress me, not to mention that I have turned my face with him for the matter of book burning, and when the emperor scolded him in front of him, it is inevitable that he will hate me, but if he is so stable that he wants to jump out and fight against me, it will only make me underestimate him, so this matter can be assured at the moment, but as long as he endures it for too long, once I use the newspaper to dominate the public opinion of the scholars, If he wants to jump out against me again, I'm afraid he won't have much of a chance! Chen Xu said with a smile.

"It seems that Qingrou is too worried, it turns out that Chen Lang has already thought about it!" The water softly relaxed and whispered.

"It's not that it's thoughtful, but Li Si's ideas have not departed from the previous rut, he has been in a high position for a long time, many ideas are not the same as before, he now values power more than governing the country, and the Legalist disciples are all looking at him, there is no large number of opposing voices, and the court is slowly ossifying, if this situation is not broken, Daqin will inevitably end up as your master speculated, and it will not be far from collapsing!"

"This is a critical juncture, Chen Lang should stay in Xianyang and don't need to come back in such a hurry...... Come back and marry me, for the sake of Chen Lang's plan, you can wait gently, and you will have no complaints for the rest of your life! The water gently stroked Chen Xu's cheek and said gently.

"How's that going to work?" Chen Xu shook his head vigorously while holding Shui's soft hand, "There are so many things in the world, Daqin is not my alone Daqin, even if Daqin really can't help him up and fall, I can only watch him fall in the end, but you and I have long been in love as one, how can I bear to keep you alone at home, for Daqin, I can only do my best, but for you and my mother and Xing'er, I must go all out, if one day I really can't fight Li Si, our family will hide in Funiu Mountain and live in seclusion, farming and raising flowers, getting married and making babies, not to mention." …… This time I had to leave! ”

"Why?" Shui Qing's face blushed when she heard this, and she asked with a little surprise.

"There are two reasons, the first is the disagreement with Li Si on the book burning, and then the big discussion on the statecraft, these are all planned by me, and I don't dare to guarantee that the emperor's mind will not change, because Li Si's credit is too great, and the emperor has not weakened his Enlong in the slightest, so if Li Si repeatedly persuades the emperor, he does not dare to guarantee that the emperor will not change his strategy again, and the book can be collected if the book burning fails, in fact, the result is still the same, but I can't always use drastic means to fight with Li Si, Because I am almost alone in the court now, there are not too many people to support me, even if I support me, that is, some idle officials such as doctors and doctors, it is useless, so I threw my hands and left, and let Chen Ping and others continue to promote the newspaper quickly according to my arrangements and ideas, and release this battle above the court to the people, which generated a great pressure, so that Li Si did not dare to act rashly, so I am not in Xianyang, I can stay out of this matter, so that he can't find trouble with me, not to mention... … I also scared him a little, and he naturally became more cautious. ”

"Li Si is the prime minister, how did you scare him?" Shui looked at Chen Xu with curiosity on her face.

"Hehe, I said that if he dares to burn books, someone will blow him up with Taiyi Divine Thunder!"

"Poof~" Shui covered her mouth softly and smiled, and her delicate body trembled.
