Public opinion has always been the vane of the imperial court's governance, and it is also the main factor in whether the society can be stable.

Since the crossing, Yang Mu has encountered at least a few rumors.

The reason for this is that the common people do not have a correct channel to obtain information, the imperial court is lagging behind in refuting rumors, and its ability in this regard is insufficient.

Some small rumors in peacetime, naturally, have nothing to do with it.

But what if it is exploited by some conspirators?

Last time, the rumors of the Imperial City of Cangguo, as well as the tragedy of the palace change, are a good example.

Many times, it is not that someone is behind the spread of rumors, but that ordinary people are more willing to hear news that is beneficial to them.

"It's time to report to the mansion." Yang Mu said secretly in his heart.

Di Bao, which first appeared in the Han Dynasty in history and began to prevail in the Tang Dynasty, was a way for the imperial court to issue various documents to local institutions, and later gradually evolved into a means of public opinion propaganda by the government to publicize national affairs to the people.

If the newspaper is implemented in Cangguo, it can not only publish some political information, but also some industrial, commercial, agricultural knowledge, and even medical knowledge, and with the improvement of the civilian literacy rate, it can not only become a brainwashing tool, but also improve the national quality of the whole country.

Of course, if you want to distribute this kind of newspaper on a large scale, you must first launch movable type printing, which is not a big problem for today's Cangguo, as long as the technology is handed over to the Ministry of Science and Technology, research and development for a period of time is not a big problem.

Thinking of this, Yang Mu told Kong Shangxian all the way about his idea, and the latter also agreed.

"This matter, let's hand it over to your Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Rites first, draw up a charter, and implement it as soon as the class teacher returns to the court." Yang Mu commanded.

"Yes!"

Then, Yang Mu visited some civilian families, without exception, they were all poor, and there were very few who could ensure normal food and clothing.

About half an hour, Yang Mu walked out of the slum and returned to the palace.

Ignoring how uproar was outside, Yang Mu ate a little and slept comfortably.

About dusk, under Ji Ling'er's reminder, he got up slowly and went to the palace dinner in person.

Entering the main hall, all the nobles and ministers had already arrived, and when they heard the eunuch's report, they hurriedly got up to pay respects.

After some etiquette, Yang Mugao sat on the dragon chair and glanced at the entire hall.

In all fairness, Zheng Guo's hall is still very grand, the scale of this hall is larger than the court hall of Cangguo, hundreds of desks are placed together, without the slightest crowding, and the surrounding decorations and furnishings are also very luxurious, like Yang Mu's bedroom in Cangguo.

On both sides, there were two rows of mighty guards, all expressionless, their swords unsheathed, the cold light was shining, and the cold was panicking.

Naturally, the nobles in the palace are also sitting on pins and needles, for fear that there will be some calculations in this.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very serious and slightly oppressive.

In particular, Zheng Kang, as Emperor Zheng Guo, sat at the head of the case on the left side and sat opposite Wei Zhongquan, which attracted the attention of many people.

According to the rules, all the seats are arranged according to their status, and it is really strange to have the seats of the emperor of a country and the general of a country side by side.

After a while, Zheng Kang led the ministers to toast Yang Mu and express his welcome and gratitude.

Then, the head of the Gongsun family came out: "Your Majesty, this time the king has come from afar, and he has not committed any offense against the people of Zheng Guoqiu, and the minister is willing to donate 200,000 taels of silver as military expenses to express his heart." ”

"Your Majesty, my Liang family is also willing to donate 200,000 taels of silver to the king!"

"The minister seconded the proposal, and my Xie family is also willing to give 200,000 taels!"

"My Guo family is also willing to give 200,000 taels of silver!"

"My Song family is also willing to give 200,000 taels of silver!"

"My Gu family donated 100,000 taels of silver and 30,000 stones of grain!"

"My Liu family donated 150,000 taels!"

Each head of the house opened his mouth and said the amount of money he was to give to his family.

Yang Mu was a little surprised, although he had long known that the heads of each family would express themselves sooner or later, but he didn't expect to bring it up collectively at the dinner.

The five major families, each of which is 200,000 taels of silver, and the rest of the families range from 80,000 taels to 150,000 taels, mixed with some grain, roughly calculated, nearly 4 million taels.

This silver is equivalent to Zheng Guo's tax income for two or three years, and equivalent to Cangguo's tax income for ten years!

Originally, he also told Kong Shangxian to record the gifts of these families one by one, and then pick out a few to open the knife, but now it seems that the gifts of each family are very thick, and it is impossible to copy which family.

"All the heads of the family are well aware of the righteousness, I am very comforted, come here, give the royal wine, I want to drink with everyone!" Yang Mu laughed and asked the eunuch maid to take out the wine from the red paper sealing altar.

Although he didn't bring any wine with him during the Northern Expedition, and any imperial wine and the like were also looted from the Zheng Palace, this did not prevent him from showing his kindness, and what those nobles wanted was not a fine wine, but an attitude of the emperor.

Yang Mu accepted the silver, returned the dragon face to joy, and immediately put their hanging hearts into their stomachs.

Finally, there is no need to worry about raiding the family and exterminating the clan, even if it is a little more restrained in the future, what does it matter?

After the dinner, Yang Mu returned to the dormitory.

As soon as I stepped into the palace gate, I saw a group of women standing at the door, as if they were in formation, motionless.

Yang Mu frowned, these women are definitely not palace maids, because after the Cang army occupied the palace, for the sake of safety, all the palace maids inside were taken into custody, and now the palace maids who serve him are all brought out by the Cangguo Palace, there are not many of them, and they are all uniform clothes.

These women are different, their clothes are uneven in color, luxurious and extravagant, and they are by no means a palace maid can dress up.

Perhaps it was because Yang Mu's movement back to the palace was too big, and those women all lowered their heads as if they were frightened, and hurriedly knelt down.

"What is this?" Yang Mu pointed at them, puzzled.

Hearing this, a little eunuch hurriedly came and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, these women are all noble daughters of thirty-eight families, all of them are carefully selected and sent to the palace to serve Your Majesty." ”

A woman selected by a major family?

Serve me?

Yang Mu suddenly felt very interesting, and pointed to one of the women: "Raise your head and let me take a look." ”

The woman was shy and timid, not daring to disobey, and quickly raised her head.

The lips reflect the sun, the skin is soft, the posture is slender, the eyebrows are lowered, and the pretty face is a little panicked, and the graceful temperament adds a bit of indescribable moving charm.

In terms of appearance, it is on par with Ji Ling'er, but it is completely different in temperament.

Yang Mu nodded, and then said, "You all raise your heads." ”

Immediately, all the women did so.

Call......

In addition to the palace maids, Yang Mu has never faced so many women directly, in terms of quality, it is more than a step stronger than those ordinary palace maids in the palace!

There is no mediocre look, and in terms of appearance and temperament, each has its own merits.

One posture, one look, all the best!
