Chapter 213: Newspapers

By the time Pan Daoquan brought all the prisoners to Chijing, Wenli was still locked up in his mansion.

By this time, it was already two days later.

The people involved in the case included a total of 21 scholars from Baoxi County, a total of 67 businessmen from all walks of life who saw money, and more than 400 rumor-mongers who were employed.

These people, plus their family members, a total of thousands of people, were sent to the prison of the Four Law Divisions.

Even though the perpetrators of the crime have been condemned, many people still do not understand anything! Absolutely unaware of what was going on!

What to do?

"Print newspapers!" Qin Cang said.

Newspapers are a way to quickly control public opinion. Especially after the newspaper has set a standard, it can hit the right hand with the left hand to ensure that the scope of public opinion does not jump out of its control. This thing was originally sealed in a box. Qin Cang always thought that the time was not ripe enough, but looking at today's price hike, Qin Cang felt that he was conservative. The people are more receptive to new things than they think.

In the past, the Tang newspapers were all official content, and most of them were some introductions and decrees. Although there are people on the streets and alleys who will look at the bulletin board, they are dull after all. And it can't flow into the private sector. In terms of mobility and content, it cannot reach the level of the newspapers of later generations.

Therefore, Qin Cang instructed Li Jingpo to start a comprehensive editing of the content of this issue, and sold it in the streets and alleys on the day the four law divisions were sentenced.

"Come on, take a look! The depth of the Chijing grain price scam is revealed! ”

"A stack of copper plates and a stack of newspapers can help you know what is going on in the world!"

.......

In Chijing City, many newsmen suddenly appeared in the streets and alleys. They waved thick newspapers and shouted and sold them in the streets.

The civilians of Chijing, who had recently suffered from the fluctuation of food prices, quickly became interested in this, and everyone rushed forward one after another, snatching the newspapers from the newspaper sellers in large stacks.

But here comes the problem, they are illiterate. Most people are illiterate.

Even in Chikyo, the literacy rate fluctuates by 30 percent. This is still because there are a large number of officials in the city to survive.

So the original newspaper reader immediately appeared.

Today's major restaurants don't sing songs anymore, poems don't read anymore, everyone gathers together to listen to the newspaper people read the newspaper.

The newspaper reader, who has never been treated like this today, reads in a low voice.

"There are businessmen Zhang Jingui, Wen Han and so on..... Colluded with the Wen clan who tried to seize power, and deliberately raised the price of grain! even brought all the grain merchants in Chijing to hoard grain together. It immediately led to the tragedy of the shorting of grain prices in Chijing. However, at this time, Chijing Shimai has three golds, and Biye Mansion Shimai has less than one gold! These are the consequences of poor information exchange. Therefore, the king of Han was ready to overhaul the railway, and allowed the private sector to establish a newspaper office in a joint venture, and used the post office as a shelter to greatly promote the newspaper industry, so that the people would know why it was the same......."

"What's this newspaper called?"

"Called...... It's called Dahan Times. ”

Li Jingpo sat in the yamen of the inspection department, reading the changes in the newspaper.

"Inspection, we have sold more than 5,000 copies by the morning!" An official ran in and rejoiced in the report!

But Li Jingpo shook his head.

"Come on! Let's start another newspaper, and it's called Chikyo Daily! Li Jingpo laughed very much.

.......

"If you want it to prosper, you must make it compete! The battle between the left and the right is thought to be enthusiastic, but it will be thrown into it. Li Jingpo muttered Qin Cang's instructions.

So in May, more than a dozen newspapers appeared on the market in Chijing, and then began to spread outward. Shuangbi County, which has good economic conditions, was the first to start experimenting with local newspapers, and then Luo Shengzhi's Linhai Province. And Heijin Mansion was the first to start the production of economic newspapers, and so on.

The domestic disturbances have gradually subsided, and the first batch of chickens that killed chickens and set an example for monkeys sent their heads up to be cut off, so of course Qin Cang would not refuse.

The month of May then faded by.

June 1. Children's Day in the future.

With the end of the civil unrest, attention has once again turned to Italy.

King Juan II of Aragon is running out of time. Sardinia is unstable, and ****** people have the heart to seize it; Sicily rebels, and the hard-headed Sicilian nobles decide to say goodbye to their dear king; Needless to say, Naples is the case. It has become the hardest hit area of the Crusaders. A large number of mercenary groups forcibly occupied the city in the name of the crusaders, seized territory, and attacked each other. The already modest Kingdom of Naples was honored to be the first political entity to be brought down by the Crusaders.

So Northern Italy is once again stuck in the old days of obeying the Pope or opposing it.

Originally, with the fading of the emperor's power and the development of the capital economy, northern Italy had already entered the era of independence. But they found that the emperor was gone, and Pope Lao Tie, who was originally stirring up trouble behind his back, actually began to pit himself!

The Pope is the chain that constricts Northern Italy.

Under this crusade, the big families in Northern Italy were fine, and the small families, especially those who were not rich in capital, were mostly bankrupt by the sudden attack. The workers left the workshops, and the merchants found themselves without buyers.

Milan, Lucca and other landlocked countries hope that everyone can sit down and talk about it and solve all the misunderstandings in the past. But the mad Venetians resolutely refused and demanded to fight the Han to the death. And the ****** people on the side, of course, were engaged in wind and rain, and took the opportunity to press the Venetians to death in the sea.

The confusion is reflected in business, where the prices of various commodities go all the way up. For example, porcelain, the current ****** people have basically monopolized the sale of porcelain. Because of the environment of the crusaders that are now all the rage, they will let the Han people bring their goods to Sfax, and then they will pick up the goods in Sfax and take them to ******, Nice, Catalonia and other places to sell to the second-level agents, the Jews.

The Jews would haul the goods and sell them on land to various nobles and merchants in the cities.

After such a process, ****** found that they had actually captured about 60% of the market share of the Venetian. This also means that even if the Venetians sign an armistice, it may be difficult to come back.

People are in a good mood, so Conrador was specially promoted to the next level.

Looking back, Chen Jia found a new business in Naples.

Smuggling goods to the Crusaders, the urban aristocracy, the rural aristocracy, and so on.

A common commodity is food. Because of the widespread local limestone and bare mountainous terrain, there is very little place to cultivate. Coupled with the Crusaders' habit of destroying the environment and their unproductive nature, smuggling food was quite good.

So inside Naples, the crusaders fought back and forth, and Chen Jia began to smuggle grain everywhere with peace of mind.......
