As Luan Yi expected, "Holy Light Daily" immediately set off an uproar after the interview.

There are praisers, mainly the lowest believers in the church. They don't have much money to buy books to read, and apart from the Church's free distribution of the Blessed Blessed Virgin, there are few reading materials at home.

The appearance of the "Holy Light Daily" undoubtedly opened up a new world for them, and the newspaper did not publish many words every month, but it conveyed to them a lot of new things worth talking about, and added a lot of conversation outside of their spare time.

In addition, the new measures of the court and the church announced in the three editions of "Rumors of the World" and "Gospel Song" have suddenly shortened the distance between the people and the court. Vaguely, the people felt that the court was no longer as high as in the past, but was by their side. began to feel that the affairs of the court are actually their own affairs, and if the court is good, their lives will inevitably be better.

With the help of this form, Luan Yi inadvertently and imperceptibly changed the traditional concept of "family and country in the world" and family words first. The "country" represented by the imperial court was implanted in the hearts of the people. Starting from the bottom of the society, gradually let the people of the Han Dynasty love the country more than the family.

In addition to the believers at the bottom, the "Holy Light" was also popular with most of the rich squires. Wang Sui, the rich man of Chengmingshui Village in Dongpingling, is one of them.

Thanks to the Qingming Dynasty and the church's strong support, the rich man Wang's family had a good harvest in the past year, and he made a lot of money by making several transactions. Therefore, at the beginning of the new year, on the one hand, the rich man Wang was motivated by a whim, on the other hand, he thanked the Virgin Mary for his protection in the past year, and also for his future business convenience. He paid a small sum of money out of his own pocket to build a dirt road in the village that leads directly to Pingling County.

It stands to reason that things are small, so small that they are insignificant. To Wang Sui's surprise, the priest of Mingshui Church heard about this incident, and decided to take Wang Sui's road construction for the village at his own expense as a typical example, and reported it to the Jinan Church of Our Lady of Mary, along with a news report that was called "non-fiction".

Within two days, this article praising Wang Sui's charity was published on the second page of the third issue of the Holy Light Daily.

I saw that my name was actually engraved in lead and printed on white Shencai paper. Wang Sui's excited old tears were rampant, and even the ink smelled fragrant in his snort.

There's nothing more exciting for him than the fact that his name is on paper. Although the circulation of the Holy Light is not large, and it has not been passed down through the ages like books, it is also the official newspaper of the Church. According to the priest in the church, Luan Yi, the leader of each issue of the "Holy Light Daily", will read it from beginning to end, doesn't this mean that the leader also knows his name?

And the priest also said that the Church will include every issue of the Holy Light. As long as the church exists, the third issue of the Holy Light, which publishes his deeds and name, will be stored in a safe place in the church. A hundred years later, or even a thousand years later, the descendants of the descendants of the rich man Wang, when they go to the church, can borrow this third issue of the newspaper at any time, see the deeds of their ancestors on the second page, and feel the glory of the family.

Upon hearing this, Wang Sui's excitement was indescribable. People have left a voice and a goose have left a name, what is more exciting than their own great achievements through the ages?

While the excitement is along, the benefits of being in the newspaper are also obvious.

People are more or less hated for the rich. So in the past, many poor people saw that his old Wang family was living a good life, and their hearts were unbalanced, and their eyes couldn't help but reveal a little hostility when they looked at him, and those hired long-term workers didn't say bad things about him in private.

Since his name was published in the newspapers, the people in the village have looked at him differently. The hostility disappeared in an instant, but turned into a heartfelt gentleness. When I saw him on the road, not only did he hide, but he also took the initiative to greet him, "Hey, has Wang Dashan eaten?" ”

People are more or less vanity. As soon as he heard his neighbors call him a "great benevolent", Wang Sui suddenly felt that he had more face, not to mention how happy it was.

In order to continue to maintain the title of a good man, and at the same time, in order for his name to be published in the newspaper again, Wang Caizhu worked hard to do charity and good deeds.

Coincidentally, in addition to Wang Sui's rich man, other local squires who were listed in newspapers and periodicals were also completing their good deeds one after another on their own land. The rich squire, who had never been in the newspaper, tried his best to achieve the goal of being in the newspaper.

For a time, "do a good deed every day" was no longer a slogan, but a common goal pursued by the wealthy in the diocese.

The rich do good, and the most beneficial are the ordinary people. The living conditions of the people in the diocese have been improved again.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the reason why the rich are so keen on doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is because of the influence of the "Holy Light". As a result, people took all the credit for enjoying a better life on the head of the "Holy Light", and praised the "Holy Light" for its wonderfulness.

Some people praise it, and naturally some people depreciate it.

The old-fashioned scholars, represented by Cai Yong, were disgusted by the vernacular style and punctuation marks that appeared in the newspapers. Cai Yong, as Luan Yi's father-in-law and master, although he was unhappy, his attitude was still relatively gentle. He euphemistically relayed the dissatisfaction of the majority of scholars with the "Holy Light Daily" to Luan Yi, telling him that the vernacular text and punctuation were really unseemly, and advised Luan Yi not to deviate from the scriptures, and should let the content of the "Holy Light Daily" return to tradition.

In response to Cai Yong's questioning, Luan Yi explained: "The original intention of the newspaper was to let the most ordinary people know about the latest measures and propositions of the imperial court. In order to make it easier for more people to read and understand, the language has been simplified. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a product of catering to the grassroots population. He then patted his chest and assured Cai Yong, "The written vernacular language used in the Shengguang Bao is only used in the exchange of information among ordinary people, and in the future, whether it is the imperial decree, education, or the selection of talents, all written decrees closely related to the imperial government will still remain traditional." ”

Cai Yong's original intention to boycott vernacular literature was mainly because he was afraid that the unorthodox popular style of vernacular would affect the current academic trend, attracting young students to learn more popular vernacular and abandon the classical Chinese that had been recited by their ancestors from generation to generation.

After receiving Luan Yi's assurance, coupled with the fact that "Shengguang Daily" had done a lot of good things for the people directly or indirectly, Cai Yong put his heart back in his stomach and acquiesced in the behavior of "Shengguang Daily" publishing articles in vernacular.

It's just that he didn't know that Luan Yi, who came from the future, lamented that the Chinese sages had created broad and profound classical Chinese, and at the same time, he also deeply realized the many troubles brought by classical Chinese in the daily administrative process.

The complexity of the text pattern greatly increases the difficulty of copywriting, so that the operation of power can only be controlled by a few learned people in the population base of Pangdang. It greatly restricts the possibility of grassroots people participating in the operation of power, thereby reducing administrative efficiency and the enthusiasm of grassroots people to participate in politics.

This is completely contrary to Luan Yi's original intention of advocating efficient production and efficient administration.

In addition, when the decree reaches the local government, there is often a problem of sentence breaking errors because it does not have punctuation marks. As a result, the same decree can be transmitted from the central level to the local level, and there can be many completely different or even opposite versions.

As a result, the transmission of the decree was not smooth, and local officials did a lot of useless work, which not to mention affecting administrative efficiency, and also caused bad consequences on many occasions. Luan Yi had to send someone to the local area to guide, supervise, and correct, and wipe the butts of local officials.

It is precisely for these reasons that Luan Yi subtly rooted the new style of vernacular literature in the hearts of the world through the "Holy Light Daily" at this time.

When the public gradually became accustomed to the vernacular and used to reading vernacular and punctuation, they applied it to the daily work of the church, and then extended it to all areas of court affairs.

To put it bluntly, Luan Yi's ultimate goal is to replace classical Chinese with vernacular in the affairs of the imperial court. Of course, in terms of creation, he still agrees with the language and language.

In the middle of March of the sixth year of the Holy Yuan Dynasty, after more than two months of busyness, Luan Yi finally laid out the second five-year plan of the Holy Mother Sect in an all-round way, and the rest was implemented and maintained by officials and priests from all over the country.

Finally taking a little time out of his busy schedule, Luan Yi went straight to the Yanzhou Ordnance Smelting Institute non-stop to inspect the ordnance production.

For the past five years, the sword made from the ordnance smelting has been a powerful weapon in the Church Army. It's a pity that although the magic knife is sharp, the output is low.

It takes three experienced blacksmiths to polish a sword day and night, and it takes five days to polish it.

Therefore, in the past three years, only a small number of special combat soldiers and some of the guards of the trap regiment have been equipped with divine blades, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of church guards are still using traditional blades.

Luan Yi was very dissatisfied with this, this time he came mainly to inspect the production workshop of the sword, after learning that the production of the knife still involves a lot of manpower and material resources, but the output has not been significantly improved, he was anxious and reprimanded the master of the ordnance smelting institute, Pu Yuan Yitong. scolded so much that Pu Yuan couldn't raise his head.

After realizing that his tone was too tough, Luan Yi changed his tone and affirmed the work of the smelting institute in other aspects, especially the contribution made to the improvement of chain mail. Therefore, he decided to give a reward of 100 taels of silver to each of the craftsmen in charge of making armor in the smelter, and 300 taels of silver to the main person in charge.

For skilled workers, Luan Yi is not stingy with rewards. Taking this opportunity, it can be regarded as a stick and then giving Pu Yuan a sweet date to eat.

At the subsequent luncheon, Luan Yi was still worried about the production of the Divine Knife. However, in the 21st century, he studied mainly in the field of economic management, and his knowledge of metal smelting and manufacturing technology was infinitely close to zero. Little is known about lathes and furnaces. Therefore, at the technical level, he does not know much more than Pu Yuan, and cannot provide direct theoretical support. He can only be guided by the social cognition that is two centuries longer than Pu Yuan.
