Next to the four gates of Xiangguo, there are special wooden propaganda columns.

Every page of the newspaper was pasted on the propaganda column, and there were also two versions of the Zhao State script and the small seal. The Qin State has implemented a unified script in the world for more than ten years, and the small seal has become a common script in the world, and the number of people who know the small seal is much greater than the number of people who know the original Zhao script.

In the early period of the Western Han Dynasty, small seals were also used as characters, and later they were changed to official scripts.

In the afternoon, on the propaganda column next to the east gate of Xiangguo, a group of people gathered here, listening to the officials preach the contents of the newspaper. These people are mainly handicraftsmen and farmers who have gone to the city to sell agricultural products, and literate people rarely come here to listen to what others are taught.

The officials were preaching earnestly, and the people were listening with relish.

Whenever a piece of news is preached, people applaud.

It took a lot of effort to finally tell all the news, and the people immediately started talking.

"The court is really good! My son has been in the army for three years, and he has never been rewarded and promoted for meritorious service in the past, but he was promoted two levels in a row last year, and at the beginning of this year, he accompanied Guangwujun to the north to conquer Yan State, and was promoted by one level! Now it's Dubble! ”

"The court is so good, it's really for the sake of the people!"

"Not long ago, I built a waterwheel in my hometown, which makes it much easier to divert water to irrigate farmland! It was the Mohist craftsmen who built the waterwheel. ”

…………

The people were talking a lot, and everyone was talking about Zhao Guo with a relatively happy mood.

Here, there was also a man dressed as a scholar, who watched coldly and did not participate in the discussion of the people.

The official who preached said: "In the past, those officials in our Zhao State ignored the people. Since our king led his army to Jingcheng last year, it has been very different, and the court has undergone earth-shaking changes. For example, it was reported in the newspaper that the county commander personally went to the countryside to inspect the people's conditions and care about the people's farming, which is what my king asked the officials to do, otherwise they would be dismissed. ”

The officials who explain are also newspaper personnel, which are personally trained by Zhao Xie, not only a simple explanation, in addition to preaching the content of the newspaper, but also to properly publicize to the people.

The words of the officials were approved by the people.

"Humph! I don't know if what is written in the newspaper is true! ”

The "scholar" raised a questioning voice.

The people present listened to his speech very unhappily and criticized him one after another.

The "scholar" didn't care about being accused at all, and retorted: "This newspaper is printed by the imperial court, and what is written in it is not up to the imperial court to decide, I doubt the authenticity of the content." ”

The official retorted: "The people have the freedom to discuss the government and politics, but they are not allowed to slander or slander the court. If you do not have evidence to prove that the newspaper news is false, you must not make such remarks, otherwise you will slander the court and the government will punish you. You can not speak, but what you say must be substantiated! ”

The existing laws of Zhao State stipulate that the court shall not be slandered, and as for what is slander, King Zhao has the final right to interpret. If you can't produce evidence and question the veracity of the newspaper's news, it will be defined as slandering the imperial court.

The people present echoed and sharply criticized the "scholar", and the "scholar" felt that it was a strong argument, but they had no choice but to leave in a huff.

No matter who is the monarch, there will always be people who do not share the same mind as the king and do not make different voices, and Zhao Xie wants to marginalize this kind of person and this kind of voice.

In the palace, in the evening, Zhao Xie was reading the first issue of "Da Zhao Times", the text version of Zhao Guo in the newspaper, which looked very awkward.

Qin Shi Huang's unification of the script itself was a huge progress, and later the Western Han Dynasty changed the small seal to the official script, which was another improvement. In Zhao Xie's eyes, the restoration of the Zhao period is a historical regression.

It's just that after the restoration of the Zhao State, the use of Zhao Wen has been restored, and Zhao Xie cannot get rid of it immediately, and this is not a very important matter, and it is not too late to improve the text when the overall situation of the world has been decided in the future.

Zhao Xie listened in detail to the report of Qian Jin, the director of the newspaper. In addition to Sun Shutong, the content of the newspaper is in charge of Qian Jin, and other matters such as the printing and distribution, publicity, and personnel of the newspaper are all handled by Qian Jin.

According to Qian Jin's report, the newspaper was only published for half a day, and it had a good effect, and the vast majority of the people liked to read or understand the contents of the newspaper, which played a good role in suppressing those who made negative remarks about the imperial court.

As for the scholar at the east gate of the city, Zhao Xie felt that it might be a spy sent by the enemy country, and after the Jinyi Guard was trained, he must eradicate all the spies.

At present, the distribution of newspapers is free of charge, but it is only free for a period of time, but in the future, when it is implemented throughout the country, the sales model will be implemented, and advertisements can also be carried out, which can be used to advertise for government sales and sales, and can also be advertised to private businessmen for a fee.

Newspaper distribution not only has a propaganda effect, but also can directly or indirectly generate profits, killing two birds with one stone.

In the past few days, Zhao Xie has taken a lot of time to inspect outside the palace, and he is busy with affairs, and the backlog of concerts that have been backlogged for several days has not been reviewed.

I don't know how long it took, but the chapter was finally reviewed, Zhao Xie felt a little tired, yawned, stood up and stretched.

"What time is it?"

"Your Majesty, it's five o'clock."

It was 10:15 a.m., and it took nearly four hours to review the recitals. Now there are only Zhao Di and Yan Di under the rule of Zhao State, and if they can dominate the world in the future, the time to be used for reviewing the chapters will be greatly increased, and being a king is a chore.

In ancient times, there was a lack of entertainment activities, and she generally went to bed early, and usually Zhao Qian rested between nine and ten o'clock.

Zhao Xie wanted to go back to his dormitory to sleep, and when he came out of the study and just arrived at the door of the dormitory, he saw the eunuch Ling Li coming over.

Zhao Xie said: "The widow is preparing to go to bed, what is the matter?" ”

"The king, the queen has been pregnant for several months, and there is no one to serve the king during this period. There is no shortage of beautiful and considerate palace maids in the palace, and if the king needs it, he can choose the palace maid to sleep. ”

"So that's it!"

Zhao Xie frowned.

Li Zhen said: "King, this is not a trivial matter! Throughout the ages, there has been a king who has only one woman, and I hope that my king will favor other women and have more heirs. ”

The meaning of his words is rather subtle, and there are some aspects that are not suitable for explicit.

Zhao Xie can understand the meaning of the words, the medical conditions in ancient times were poor, and the probability of giving birth to a baby was not low, and it was not necessarily a son who was born, but it was possible to have three or four daughters in a row. A few more women can have more protection.

It is necessary to reproduce more children, Zhao Xie, as a normal man, has his own needs in that regard, Li Ji specially reminded that Zhao Xie also has this meaning, anyway, ancient men had this privilege, and they were still kings.

A man's excessive indulgence will hurt his body, but it's not good to hold it back, and he hasn't been with Zhao Qian for three months. Who should you choose? Zhao Xie thought about it, thought about it for a while, and said, "Go and inform Qiu Ju and let her come over to sleep for the widow!" ”

Zhao Xie has some understanding of Zhao Qian's personal maids Xing'er and Qiu Ju.

Qiu Ju and Xing'er are just ordinary habitual names, Qiu Ju's name is Yu Qiu, and Xing'er's name is Wang Xing.

Apricot is lively and cheerful, can speak well, and can make people happy; Qiu Ju is introverted, shy, and not good at words. Both of them served Zhao Qian very well in action.

Zhao Xie is from a modern era and has a modern sense of family, and hopes to spend as much time as possible with his family. But usually the government is busy and has no time to spend with his wife and children, Xing'er can speak well and better relieve the boredom of her family.

Considering family factors, Zhao Xie chose Qiu Ju.

In the harem, after Zhao Qian rested, Qiu Ju and Xing'er had just finished bathing in the bathroom and were about to go to bed, when they saw Li Yan coming with a few attendants.

Li Yan smiled at Qiu Ju and said, "Qiu Ju, congratulations!" ”

Qiu Ju shook her head and asked, "My lord, what is the joy of slaves?" ”

Li Zhen said: "The king ordered me to send a message and let you go to bed." Maybe soon, it's time to change your name to Madame! ”

During this period, in addition to the queen, many women who were kings (not called emperors) were addressed by their wives and their surnames were added in front of them. For example, Qi Ji is called Mrs. Qi and Bo Ji is Mrs. Bo.

Oh my! Qiu Ju was stunned, this came too suddenly!

Apricot was equally stunned.

Li Zhen said: "Qiu Ju, please follow me to the king's bedroom!" ”

Why would the king let me go to bed! It's incredible! Qiu Ju was still stunned and didn't react for a while.

Seeing Qiu Ju's appearance, Li Yan reminded: "Please go quickly, don't let the king wait for a long time!" ”

Xing'er's head turned quickly, and her hand touched Qiu Ju's thigh, and Qiu Ju came back to her senses and followed Li Ju to the dormitory.

Looking at Qiu Ju's back, Xing'er was very envious, hoping that she could also have this kind of opportunity.

In front of the dormitory, the chamberlain searched Qiu Ju's whole body to ensure that there was nothing abnormal, and then let Qiu Ju in.

Entering the dormitory, I saw King Zhao sitting on the bed, and Qiu Ju's heart suddenly became nervous, not as natural as when facing King Zhao in the past.

"Slave maid to the king!"

Zhao Xie looked at Qiu Ju, the other party lowered his head and his cheeks were crimson, like a shy girl.

He patted the side of the bed and said warmly, "Come here, come to the widow's side." ”

Qiu Ju walked to the bed, sat on the couch with her buttocks, lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, her heart beat faster.

Zhao Xie looked at this shy girl, since she wanted her to be her own woman, she should find out first. He looked at Qiu Ju carefully, she had an apple face, a slender figure, good skin, and generally a medium and upper appearance. Although she can be regarded as a beauty, she can't be compared with a top beauty like Zhao Qian.

Qiu Ju didn't hear King Zhao's voice, her eyes glanced at King Zhao, only to see that the other party was looking at her, and she hurriedly lowered her head, which made her even more nervous. She had never heard of men and women before, and she only knew that if she slept together, she would get pregnant.

Zhao Xie asked, "Your parents are good!" There are brothers and sisters! ”

Every chamberlain and maid in the palace has a file, and Zhao Xie has not specifically checked the information of Qiu Ju and Xing'er in the past, and there is no need to even check the information of the palace maid.

Qiu Ju replied weakly: "Your Majesty, the slave maid had two younger brothers, both of whom died young, my father was conscripted by the Tyrannical Qin six years ago to serve as a conscription, and later died of exhaustion, and my mother died of illness three years ago. ”

It turned out that her family was gone, and Zhao Xie had more pity for her.

"You are alone, and the widow and queen will be your family in the future!"

The lights of the dormitory were blown out.........

In modern times, there are special weekends off, and in ancient times there was also a vacation system.

When Liu Bang served as the head of the Surabaya Pavilion, he "often told the field". The Han Dynasty stipulated that the officials "rested for five days", and officials at all levels concentrated in the official office and accommodation, without special orders, they could not go home normally, and only when they arrived at the "rest" (referring to the rest day), they could go home for reunion and visit relatives and friends.

Zhao Guo, which is in charge of Zhao Xie, also has a vacation system, with one day off for every five days of work.

On this day, nothing special happened, except for posts where someone had to be on duty, no official in Xiangguo had to go to work.

In the palace dormitory, Zhao Xie, who was accompanied by a beauty, was sleeping lazily.

After last night, Qiu Ju, who has changed from a girl to a young woman, is not as shy as she was at the beginning, and joy accompanies her.

"King, the sun is on the third pole!"

"Don't worry, accompany the widow well!"

The beauty was in her arms, and Zhao Xie continued to lie on the bed.

In the city of Xiangguo, a fast horse galloped towards the palace, and on the horseback sat a post man.

"Juyong Guan good news! Juyong Guan good news! ”

Zhao Xie, who was still in Gentle Township, heard the shouting voice.

How can there be good news? Could it be that Mao Dun has destroyed Donghu and invaded the Yandi border and been defeated? Zhao Xie was puzzled.

"King, there is good news from Juyong Pass!"

Soon, the voice of the attendant at the door of the dormitory came.

Zhao Xie got up, Qiu Ju dressed him and opened the door of the dormitory.

Zhao Xie took the bamboo tube, took out the paper inside, and looked at what was written inside, it was unbelievable that there would be such a good thing.

The note, written by Wen Shidi, states that 5,300 Donghu people defected, including 1,500 adults, 2,700 women, and 1,100 young men.

The Donghu people brought more than 12,000 horses, including 2,500 breeding horses, 2,000 juvenile horses, and 8,000 adult war horses.

The note also specifically mentions that the first man and one woman are the children of the tribal elders who last traded. Moreover, it is also noted that the successful repulsion of the Huns' attempted attack was noted.

Wen Shidi only reported on the matter, and only King Zhao had the right to decide how to arrange those people.

"Great joy! Exultation! Zhao Xie laughed.

He immediately took up his pen and wrote and gave instructions for Du Zhen to send people to send the defected Donghu people and adult war horses to Xiangguo. As for breeding horses and juvenile horses, they will stay in Juyongguan for the time being, waiting for the notice of the Ministry of War.

Zhao Xie said to Qiu Ju: "I was fortunate to you last night, and I received good news today, double happiness is coming, celebrate today." ”

In his mind, having a second woman is also a happy event.

Zhao Xie ordered people to prepare the best dishes and eat a good meal today.

He took Qiu Ju to Zhao Qian's side, at this time Xing'er was accompanying Zhao Qian, and after she woke up today, she already knew that Qiu Ju was lucky.

Seeing her husband coming, Zhao Qian got up and saluted, and said to Qiu Ju again: "Qiu Ju, we will be a family in the future!" ”

Zhao Xie took Qiu Ju's hand with his left hand, took Zhao Qian's hand with his right hand, let the hands of the two women put together, and said seriously: "Qiu Ju, from now on, you have to call Sister Queen; Qian'er, you have to treat Qiu Ju like a sister! ”

The king can have three palaces and six courts, but there are also hidden worries, the harem women may intrigue with each other and frame each other in order to compete for favor and an heir for their son, Zhao Xie does not want this kind of thing to happen.
