Chapter 121: Guiding Public Opinion

After the banquet, Luo Zhaoyun also asked the cook in the imperial dining room to prepare lean pork and fatty meat, which were divided into different catties according to the rank of the officials.

After the on-site tasting of the pig-killing dishes, the understanding of pork has been deepened and the prejudice has been reduced.

This is another gift from the emperor, who dares not to accept it happily?

Of course, some officials in the Hanmen gladly accepted it, and they were happy from the bottom of their hearts for the people and the court.

These officials come from the people, many of them are not from high families, or their families have declined, they have experienced hard times, there is no meat food, no meat, and they are very poor.

Now black pork can be eaten with confidence, and the yield is high, Guanlong stable area, the rations are sufficient, every family can be raised, when the time comes, the spring of the pig, the year of slaughter, can be eaten heartily for more than half a year.

Especially people like Gao Shilian, Xin Gongyi and others, worried about the country and the people, pretending to be the people of the world, learned that pig breeding can be promoted, and the people will be able to eat meat in the future, they are very happy, and they are a hundred times happier than eating a good meal themselves.

"Blessed are our people this time!"

"Everyone in the world eats meat, and you can eat it several times a month, and it is really a peaceful and prosperous era."

"In the past, in the prosperous times, the people couldn't eat meat casually, at most they had enough food and clothing, and they didn't starve!"

These old ministers were all a little emotional, holding meat in one hand, and talking to each other, feeling that the prospects of Dahua would become stronger and more prosperous.

After the banquet ended, Wei Zheng entered the palace on behalf of Yushitai and reported something.

In the imperial study, after Luo Zhaoyun sat down, he took a sip of tea and said to Wei Zheng: "Today's banquet, do you think that the civil and military officials have ever sincerely accepted this black pork?" ”

Wei Zheng arched his hand and said frankly: "The minister thinks that the hundred officials eat very happily, and the vast majority of them will accept the pig killing vegetables and black pork, a small number of noble officials, born into large families, and some families have been generations of ministers, prominent for a while, and the family concept is profound, and may not be able to fully accept it for a while. ”

Luo Zhaoyun nodded, feeling that Wei Zheng's analysis was reasonable, and it was not a taste that was difficult to change, but an inherent concept.

For those noble families, they have accumulated for hundreds of years, regard themselves as nobles, and must be particular about their diet, and they do not choose to take everything.

However, Luo Zhaoyun is not in a hurry, not everyone accepts it, some people, whether they like to eat or not, what does it have to do with him? This black pig breeding technology, mainly to promote the world, so that the people of the people have to raise black pigs, when the time comes to improve the living conditions of the people, with cheap pork, the people can eat meat, improve the physique, enhance the physique, this is the most important.

After chatting about this matter, Wei Zheng's face hesitated, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, there is one thing that needs to be told when the minister enters the palace to face the saint." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Wei Zheng said cautiously: "Recently, in Chang'an City, there have been some rumors in the Goolan and Qinglou of all parties, saying that the disasters are continuous, and it is related to His Majesty's immorality, ten years of fighting to kill the enemy, and the evil spirit is too heavy, and when he becomes the emperor, there will be this natural disaster and flood, saying that God is in order to overcome fire with water and extinguish the anger and fire on His Majesty!" ”

After Luo Zhaoyun heard this, his face sank, this was obviously slanderous, using natural disasters as an excuse to deliberately smear his image as a king.

"When did it start circulating?" Luo Zhaoyun frowned and suppressed his anger, this matter was useless for Wei Zheng to lose his temper, and he could perceive that there was someone behind the scenes who had ulterior motives to slander and discredit him.

"It's recently, in the past two or three days, it has begun to spread, I heard that the Wuhou Mansion has obtained some people who chew the root of the tongue, after severe torture and questioning, some people are instructed by others, or take money, maliciously spread, spread rumors, but the mastermind behind the scenes has not been found, the minister is worried that someone in the court will make a fuss about this matter, so he told His Majesty in advance, so he knows it." Wei Zheng felt the change in His Majesty's face, but he still insisted on speaking out, as the head of the officials, he found the signs of problems, and should do his duty to admonish.

If Emperor Yang Guang of Sui heard about this kind of thing, it is estimated that he would directly denounce Wei Zheng, and then order a group of people to be killed.

But Luo Zhaoyun is from later generations, and he has a certain psychological tolerance for this kind of rumor, to put it bluntly, it is guided by public opinion, and someone is going to set off a public opinion war.

It is very important for the imperial court to have a tongue to control the minds of the people, to guide the readers, to accept the ideas, concepts, and goals of the imperial court, and to control the propaganda well.

Fortunately, he had been thinking about this aspect for a long time, and he had prepared in advance, which happened to come in handy in this matter.

"It doesn't matter, the rumors stop at the wise, as long as the imperial court has a way to explain the situation, it can regularly send out news and periodicals, introduce some national events, tell the truth, goodness, beauty, and the merits of the imperial court, and only talk about the good aspects of my Dahua, and introduce the bad places of the state and the enemy, forming a contrast and contrast, so that the scholar class, as well as the people, can be content with the status quo and support the governance of the imperial court." Luo Zhaoyun smiled faintly, it seems that the upgraded version of "Dahua Times Weekly" needs to be issued.

In the past, there were many documents and decrees issued by the imperial court, and they were posted in the fangmen, city gates, and places where there were many people in the east-west trade market to announce some policies and notices, but now they should be more systematic and perfect, and the weekly newspapers of the imperial court should be launched, similar to the joint newspapers of the news, and the remarks favorable to Dahua should be written, and they should be introduced from the agricultural harvest, the new policies of the imperial court, the enrollment of Taixue, the engineering disciplines, the customs of Fanbang, and the disaster relief situation, so as to guide the people to follow the ideas of the newspapers and periodicals.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send the imperial historian to state this matter to the hundred officials of the imperial court, you must not discuss it in private, and you must also manage your own people, at present, some officials have been discovered, nostalgic for the land of fireworks, and the wind of feasting and drinking has become popular.

Although Luo Zhaoyun does not agree with excessive control of speech, in today's era, it still needs to be controlled. Because in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the people had too little contact with information and were easily deceived, since some officials took the court money, while talking about the dynasty and the king behind their backs, it was indeed a bit excessive, and nodded slightly: "Before the imperial court measures are announced, you can ask the officials to order a little bit of officials, pay attention to the continuation, and go back to formulate the rules of words and deeds of officials, what should be done, what should not be done, and style issues should also be managed." ”

"The minister knows." Wei Zheng bowed and accepted the dispatch.
