The people's hearts cannot be seen or touched.

But the emperor never dared to underestimate it.

In the territory of Daqi, all the foreign princes, noble families, and hairpin families, no one dares to buy the hearts of the people in a grand manner.

Even in a disaster year, the imperial treasury is tight, and the emperor really can't take care of it, and these people with heads and faces set up sheds to give porridge and distribute steamed buns to the victims, which is also to be under the banner of the imperial court.

Let's talk about the court first, and then talk about our own family.

Let the people thank the emperor first.

Even if this kindness really has nothing to do with the imperial court.

In fact, even the wealthy families who are slightly famous in the local area are quite taboo about this.

In short, no one dares to buy the people's hearts at will.

Otherwise, they will be beheaded, or even beheaded.

Jiang Long opened a newspaper, precisely because he saw through the joints, and he couldn't come in a bright way, and he couldn't do it in secret, because this kind of thing involves a wide range of people, and it is useless to buy one or two people's hearts?

When the number of people is large, it is easy to leak the rumors.

The imperial court secretly set up eyeliner in various places, supervised local officials, princes with fiefs, and whether there were any rebels who wanted to pull the flag and rebel.

Therefore, there is only another way to control the direction of public opinion.

This is considered a conspiracy.

Even if the emperor reacts now, he is helpless.

The newspaper industry has made great achievements, and many wealthy officials in Beijing have seen the business opportunities in it, and not long after the heyday of newspaper distribution, dozens of newspaper offices have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and behind each newspaper are standing with great backers.

These newspapers imitated the development of the prosperous newspaper industry and devoted a large amount of space to describing the honest officials in various localities, which could be regarded as a good image for the imperial court.

After a period of development, the newspaper industry can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold.

Because there are interests entangled with too many huge shili, the emperor does not dare to use tough means at all.

O wrath of the people!

Jiang Long's rhetoric is gorgeous, a splendid article, describing the war as if it were immersive, and it is quite enthusiastic.

It caused a lot of waves in the capital.

The people are talking about it in all corners of the street, if someone is stunned and says that they have not heard the name of Guo Fang and others, they will definitely look at you and ignore you.

Chai Shirong was in the room of the printing house, looking at the sales of newspapers, and he was happy.

The smile is toothless and eyeless.

Jiang Long still has the ability, just one article, is to make Dingsheng Newspaper make a lot of money.

After Jiang Long left, Chai Shirong expanded the scope according to Jiang Long's instructions before leaving, and now he has sold newspapers to one-third of the territory of Daqi.

The reason why it is so fast is because there are study rooms set up in various places by the printing house that have been rectified.

Now the stewards of the study are all Chai Shirong's henchmen, and they are very attentive to what they do, and they dare not be a little lazy.

As long as you pay attention, then the efficiency will naturally be fast.

If the coverage area of the newspaper is large enough, it will naturally earn more.

Of course, it was not sold to the northern part of Xinjiang, which was too poor and there were very few literate people, so it was developed to the more affluent south.

The energy of Jiang Long's article is far less than this, when Chai Shirong is happy to count the silver, the other newspapers are also like driving in the dark sea, and they are all suddenly abrupt, they can still publish and print articles like this?

In the past, in addition to praising Qing officials, they wrote stories to commend those famous generals who fought for the country.

But these generals have been gone for an unknown number of years.

Where is the praise of the living to attract attention?

And since it is a huge shili, then there must be its own people in the army.

So some people's minds just surged.

The rest of the capital is very lively, except for the palace.

On the imperial case, there was a newly published newspaper of the prosperous newspaper industry, and the old emperor sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face.

In the entire imperial study, there are only two old emperors and old eunuchs.

As the Son of Heaven of Great Qi, he has reigned for decades, and the old emperor can be described as a scheming ancestor.

The emperor, you must have the emperor's mind, otherwise you will not be able to sit steadily.

After the old emperor read the newspaper, he saw the means.

The power of this newspaper is really far beyond his imagination.

First, praised Guo Fang, Cheng Gang, Wei Huan, and middle-aged eunuchs, the people all know about it, do you reward it?

The newspaper was written impassionedly, which made people's blood boil and made a very deep impression on the people.

In the past, whether or not to be rewarded was up to the emperor.

But now, if you don't reward you, then the people will think that you are not rewarding and punishing unjustly!

It's tantamount to forcing you to reward!

This is completely swaying the will of him, the emperor!

Second, there are a lot of huge shili in the court, and they have learned the same way, and they write such chapters for their own selfishness, what will happen then?

If it is not strictly controlled, then the imperial court will not be chaotic?

Third, for the first time, a negative image was published in the newspaper, and its character was Mu Xuan.

If you want people to watch the passion, it is naturally not possible without villains, just like writing online novels, there is no hatefulness, and the villains who make readers want to rush up and kill them in person are too boring.

Mu Xuan is honored to be such a villain.

colluded with horse bandits, and killed countless forbidden army sergeants.

He also made a deal with traders in northern Xinjiang, wanting to secretly swallow a large amount of salt and sell it to make a fortune.

The article deliberately describes the reality of the lack of salt in northern Xinjiang, and many people living here cannot buy salt even if they have money.

Many sergeants even had to wait three or four days before they could taste the salt.

and the greed and hatred of Mu Xuan.

Now when the people in the capital mention Mu Xuan, they all grit their teeth one by one.

Fourth, the article faintly belittled the forbidden army in the capital and praised the border army for its strong combat effectiveness.

You must know that the large number of forbidden troops stationed in the capital is a very strong deterrent, so that the local army does not dare to rebel.

Otherwise, they will send you and destroy you.

Now that Jiang Long is not good at the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army, how can he deter others?

Fifth, there won't be just one bad guy.

After Mu Xuan, it is estimated that many people are already looking forward to seeing another corrupt official and evil official punished.

The image of the imperial court was discredited.

There is also a sixth, a little bit of zuihou, Jiang Long is likely to have the means not used.

If the Dingsheng newspaper cannot be controlled in time, then Jiang Long is likely to use this platform to do something unpredictable.

The old emperor regrets it.

He knew that on the first day of the opening of the Peak Newspaper, he immediately sent someone to seal it down.

There won't be today.

"What should I do?" The old emperor is helpless now.

You can't come hard, or you'll be angry.

Now it's not just about dealing with one Dingsheng newspaper, if you close Dingsheng Newspaper, other newspapers will follow suit in the future.

It can't be said that the old emperor is incompetent and unprescient.

It's really a newspaper that he has never seen before, and anyone will feel unfamiliar with new things.

The old eunuch just looked down at his toes.

He couldn't solve this problem.

I can't think of a good way.

The old eunuch snorted his lips, wanting to remind the emperor that he had to be careful that Jiang Long had follow-up methods.

But in the end, there was no opening.

I think the emperor has already realized it.

The study was silent for a long time, and the emperor finally just asked the old eunuch to send a message to the prince and ordered the prince's people to suppress Jiang Long in Xianzhou.

The influence of this newspaper is too great, which gives the old emperor a headache.

There must be a way to suppress it.

For a while, he couldn't think of a good way, so the old emperor could only make trouble for Jiang Long.

So that Jiang Long didn't have time to write any more bullshit newspapers.

However, the old emperor did not know that failing to suppress the vigorous development of the newspaper industry was tantamount to liberalizing freedom of speech.

And the fact that the people can speak freely is of epoch-making significance!

Immediately in the palace, another holy decree was issued.

rewarded and promoted Guo Fang, Cheng Gang, Wei Huan, commended the middle-aged eunuchs, and then copied Mu Xuan's home.

For Mu Xuan, the old emperor is now extremely angry.

If it weren't for Mu Xuan's audacity, greed and hatred, Jiang Long would not have had the opportunity to write such a form of newspaper.

Then, he issued an order to rectify the officialdom of Xianzhou.

Without backing and shelter, how could such a bold trader dare to cooperate with Mu Xuan?

And it can swallow such a large amount of table salt in the team.

Then zuihou, let the northern Xinjiang army encircle and suppress the horse bandits in a timely and decisive manner.

The holy decree should be slowed down, and the imperial court will take the first step.

Jiang Long, who caused a lot of trouble to the emperor, met with He Huan again at this time.

He Huan was still very polite when he saw Jiang Long.

"This time to suppress the bandits, there is General Lao He." Jiang Long clenched his fists.

He Huan patted his chest vigorously, and said heartily: "Please rest assured, Lord Jing, just leave it to the general." ”

There are only six or seven hundred horse bandits, He Huan really doesn't pay attention to it.

He has been fighting and killing all year round, and when he was most dangerous, he was surrounded by a large number of cavalry of foreign races, and now he is just encircling and suppressing horse bandits, and he is just a pediatric to him.

made a verbal guarantee, but He Huan did not open his mouth to urge immediate action.

Fan Ren told him that Lingtong County would also send a team over.

If the encirclement and suppression of the horse bandits is successful, it will be a great achievement, he can't eat alone, and he has to let the team in Lingtong County also get some light.

Jiang Long opened his mouth to say the request for the encirclement and suppression of the horse bandits, and wanted to put an end to this group of horse bandits.

Make a name for yourself in Lingtong County!

When He Huan heard this, he frowned.

He respects Jiang Long as Jingxian's descendant, so he won't hide anything he says.

"This horse bandit can sit big, there must be someone behind it, just rush to kill, cut off dozens of heads to get some credit, then there will be nothing, after all, it is the other party's idea to hit Lingtong County's silver and salt first, but if it is ruthless and exterminate it all, someone will definitely jump out to retaliate afterwards."

Ye Lei, the escort officer of the team, had said before that he sensed that someone from above was colluding with the horse bandits.

He Huan has also heard about it, and he has expressed his worries, and many things are complicated, and they cannot be expressed clearly in black or white alone.

"Besides, this horse bandit is entrenched in Wangsha County, and for many people, it is of great use."

This also includes He Huan.

There are frequent battles at the border passes, and the level is at the level of a ranger general, so he has a certain degree of autonomy over the army under his command.

In case of special circumstances, you do not have to report it, and you can only act with permission.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and if everything has to be reported, then wait for a reply from above, and the opportunity is likely to have been missed.

By that time the daylilies are all cold.

For example, in this operation, He Huan himself can call the shots.

Bring 500 cavalry and 1,500 infantry troops.

Leave a thousand men to hold the large camp in the army.

When this nest of horse bandits is destroyed, he will explain the situation to the above, and by the way, he can ask for credit for himself and his subordinates.
