The map was spread in the center of the court, which immediately caused the courtiers to scramble to watch.

Is this a new piece of land?

The courtiers were of great interest, and in this world, whether it was a nobleman or a commoner, the desire for land was like life, and the discovery of this unexplored land was like a hungry wolf discovering a piece of fresh meat.

On the contrary, the few who have heard the rumors are not interested.

An offshore island, what's the use?

Population migration, reclamation and construction of cities are not a small project, and when they can obtain benefits, they don't know what year and month it will take.

Moreover, listening to His Majesty's intentions, it seems that he wants to use it as a fief of the royal family of the Shen State.

Even Fan Hongji, who has always been calm and steady, frowned, and asked, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, do you want to seal up all this place?" ”

"That's right, all kings who have surrendered to my kingdom are people who know the righteousness and should be treated well. However, there is a county here that is large enough to support 300,000 people, and it cannot be given to one person. ”

"Your Majesty wants to place the royal families of Shen and Zheng in it?" Fan Hongji somewhat understood.

"Yes, not only the two of them." Yang Mu said.

The courtiers all looked at each other for a moment, and understood what Yang Mu meant.

Not just two countries, but many more?

Your Majesty's heart is very big......

Yang Mu said: "This place, let's call it Guiyi Island, let's discuss how these twenty-five towns should be divided." ”

How to divide the seal?

Again, a very sensitive issue......

The ministers exchanged heads and ears, and also made suggestions.

Some people believe that the entire island should be divided and then divided into the kings and ministers of Zheng and Shen, while others believe that the entire island should be set up as an island, and the ownership should be shared by the kings and ministers of the two countries, and if it is divided among others in the future, it can be directly assigned to it.

There are different opinions, and even Yang Mu has a hard time choosing.

At this time, Wang Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up, held a wat board, and said: "The minister thinks that we should follow the Tianding system of the household department and start with the people who have migrated from the two countries. ”

"Oh? Aiqing, please speak. Yang Mu suddenly became interested, after listening to the for so long, it was the first time he heard a different point of view, which was also refreshing.

Wang Ying paused and said, "Your Majesty once said that there are no people on the island, and a large number of people need to be relocated, and the minister thinks that this matter is very inappropriate. First, the island is too big, and the number of people needed is huge, and it cannot be achieved without 350,000. Second, our country is in ruins, the household registration system has just been established, it is difficult to find traces of displaced people in the countryside and the countryside, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the government also has corresponding plans. ”

"Then in Aiqing's opinion, what should I do?"

"My court only sends people to build the city, and the power of the city is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and the government is sent to manage it. Twenty-five townships and towns can be divided into external seals. And the matter of people is brought by the royal families of various countries. ”

"Bring your own ......"

Yang Mu muttered, and couldn't help but have a flash of inspiration, and finally understood what Wang Ying meant.

The royal families of various countries must have vassals such as palace maids and eunuchs, as well as die-hard guards and family members, and they can be allowed to enter the fiefdom with the royal families of various countries, which can solve the problem of people.

When the population in each fiefdom increases, the city will inevitably prosper, and the people on the land shore will slowly move independently.

As for the fief, Wang Ying's meaning is also very simple, after dividing a piece of territory, the royal families of various countries can only reclaim in their own fiefdoms, and the rest of the towns and villages remain in their original state.

"Aiqing is reasonable, but ...... How big should a fief be? ”

"The minister thinks that one township is enough, but if it is too big, it will cause chaos."

"The minister thinks that ten towns and towns can show the kindness of our emperor."

"I think it's ......"

When it comes to the size of the fiefdom, the courtiers have expressed their opinions one after another, and they are all reasonable.

"In my opinion, the two countries will give three townships, and all other matters will be handled by Wang Ying of the Ministry of Rites." Yang Mu waved his hand, and he didn't bother to listen to it anymore, this time the role of the late dynasty was to blow the wind to the courtiers and pave the way for the next two countries to annex, and there was not much competition of interests in a substantive sense.

On the second day, except for the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Medicine, the rest of the departments sent people to Shen and Zheng, and even the Ministry of Industry took a large number of tools to Guiyi Island to conduct a second mapping survey and prepare to start building the city.

Of course, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Medicine have not been idle, and have recently recruited a large number of young people with quick thinking in the private sector, set up research groups one after another, and delved into the works taught by Yang Mu, such as "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Qianjinfang", "Qi Min Yaoshu", "Mengxi Pen Talk", "Tiangong Kaiwu" and other works.

It is said that Ouye, the secretary of the Ministry of Science and Technology, has not been home for a month, and directly made a bed in the official office, except for eating and sleeping, and devoted himself to the vast ocean of knowledge.

Hard-working people, the sky does not pay, during this time, the results achieved are also very fruitful, a number of studies have been carried out steadily, several of which are secret technologies Yang Mu has seen, is secretly planning, for the next development of Cangguo to accumulate strength.

……

On the sixth day of November, in the second issue of the "Dacang Times", there was a content about the fiefdom, which was quickly sold out.

It is worth mentioning that since the first day of the publication of "Dacang Times", this novelty has quickly spread in the imperial city, whether it is curiosity, real interest, or whether it recognizes or not, almost every family is vying to buy it.

There was even a phenomenon of looting, and the price of a newspaper once rose to five cents.

The newspaper shops and vendors have made a lot of money, as if they were living in a dream!

No way, the allure of the newspaper is too great.

Humans are social animals, and no matter where they are, they like to talk about political affairs.

In the past, there have never been any newspapers in this world, the common people have nothing to do with political affairs, often a decree in the court, ten days and half a month and no one knows, the common people talk about national affairs in their spare time, basically rely on speculation, the emperor carrying a silver hoe to farm the joke, is not new.

And now, with just a piece of paper, the common people can know what is happening in the court.

Those who know some words, lie on the warm bed on a cold day, spread out a newspaper, read the knowledge after reading the political affairs, read the short stories after reading the knowledge, and look forward to the beautiful days in the future after reading the small stories, which is extremely comfortable......

In this world where entertainment and media are scarce, newspapers have undoubtedly become a bridge between ordinary people and the whole country and society.

With a report in hand, I have it in the world!

Of course, the world can't talk about it, at least the Cangguo can't run away, and everyone can know more or less about the activities of the mysterious court and the upper-class nobles.

After reading the newspaper, the neighbors got together, and the topic seemed to increase, and they gathered around and pointed to a certain place in the newspaper, and if they didn't say a word of spit, they would never stop.

Newspapers have become a phenomenal item!

Therefore, when Yang Mu saw Di Baosi's performance, he was really taken aback.

The first issue of the newspaper, with a circulation of 20,000 copies, was sold out.

The second issue of the newspaper, which had a circulation of 30,000 copies, was still sold out.

Yang Mu had a moment's suspicion - the literacy rate and purchasing power of the common people in Cangguo have reached this level?

Although 5,000 copies of each issue of the newspaper were distributed to Zheng and Shen, this number was still frighteningly large for the current population of Cangguo.

In addition to being surprised, Yang Mu was more happy.

Newspapers, in the eyes of the rulers, seem to play a more important role in controlling the minds of the people, and they are also an extremely powerful weapon of public opinion propaganda, and the governance of the country in the future will be much simpler.

At the same time, he finally realized that his vision and the people of this world were separated by a moat.

In later generations, due to the impact of the Internet, the traditional paper media has declined, and most of them rely on some government agencies to support themselves and are half-dead, so he has never paid much attention to it, thinking that the newspaper is very ordinary, and the original intention of its establishment is just to be used as a tool to refute rumors.

But in this world, the emergence of newspapers has opened up channels for ordinary people to obtain information, and all information is no longer limited to word of mouth.

Even a very simple story in the newspaper will be talked about.

The advent of newspapers is like surfing the Internet when the Internet was just emerging, making ordinary people obsessed.

It is understood that the taverns and inns in the city specially ordered some newspapers, posted them in conspicuous places, and arranged for literate people to read aloud to the guests, as a means of attracting customers.
