Chapter 365: Under Propaganda
The main propaganda location of the propaganda vehicle is around the imperial capital, because the imperial capital already has nearly 100 propagandists.
There are many large and small villages around the imperial capital, and when the propaganda car drives to a certain village, at the beginning, the whole village of all ages, young and old, hid far away, and did not dare to approach at all.
The person driving the propaganda car didn't care, and parked the car at the entrance of the village, anyway, the village was so big, and directly turned on the volume of the loudspeaker, and the loud sound was enough for the whole village to hide at home and hear.
At first, the villagers didn't know what was going on, but they thought the sound was very good, and after listening carefully to the content, they immediately became interested.
Now the rumors are making people panic, and people urgently need to know the truth of the matter, and the truth is hidden in that deep voice.
On the first day, people were still a little scared when the propaganda car came, but when they saw that it only stayed at the entrance of the village for more than an hour, they drove away after shouting for a long time, and they slowly settled down.
The next day, the propaganda truck came again, and since the propaganda truck did not pose any threat to them, the villagers came out of their houses and watched from afar, curious about where the loud sound came from. What kind of person has such a loud voice, and the voice is loud and not dumb.
On the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day, as the propaganda vehicle appeared regularly every day, these villagers became accustomed to it, and many children couldn't bear to be curious, and ran to the propaganda vehicle near the adults to find that there were only two or three people inside, and no one cared whether it was close or not.
So even the adults became bolder, no longer watching from afar, but listening carefully after approaching.
People are like this, when there is a strong propaganda machine propaganda is what you like to hear, it is easy to accept it, and after accepting it, you will be convinced.
The propaganda truck only plays the newspaper that Bernie reads once a day, and when it is done, it drives off to another village.
Whenever the villagers drive away, it will trigger a very heated discussion, which is an unprecedented thing, and the villagers usually have no entertainment activities, unless there is a wedding or funeral, otherwise there will be no opportunity for almost all the villagers to get together.
The first few issues of the newspaper were written by Flandy himself, and he was very familiar with the tendency of how to write this kind of newspaper that was not obvious but acceptable, so these villagers who had heard the newspaper had a stronger and stronger centripetal force towards the empire and the emperor.
There are only two countries in the Oskaia continent, or there are only two countries in human beings, and of course no patriotic education can be advocated in the current situation, so everything revolves around the premise that human beings need to be united.
Of course, this is the most popular thing, human unity, real political correctness.
In later generations, when historians studied the era called the beginning of modern mankind, they needed to collect a large number of cultural relics, and after hundreds of years, the original newspaper was already dilapidated, as long as it can be put together and can be read clearly, it is already a very precious cultural relic.
And these discs recorded by Bernie have become the most precious historical materials.
Newspapers were issued in several thousand copies at a time, and as more and more people graduated from civilian colleges, the circulation also increased, so the later newspapers were not particularly precious.
And because there has not been much breakthrough in the technology of perfectly reproducing discs, for nearly five years, only a few more microphones can be put in when Bernie is recording.
As a result, there are very few discs in Chusi, and even those that are discarded are not available to ordinary collectors.
This is a testament to history, Bernie recorded countless discs during his lifetime, became the first generation of icons in human history, and his recordings influenced the growth of several generations until his death.
......
Bernie worked in the propaganda department for three days, and he only had to read one newspaper a day after that, except for two on the first day, which seemed very relaxed.
On the fourth day, he read the newspaper delivered in the morning several times, and basically remembered that it was almost the same, and it was recorded at one time, which made Stewart very relieved and praised him greatly.
At noon, Bernie served his share and came to the table, just about to enjoy lunch, when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
"Brother Bernie!" a crisp voice sounded behind Bernie.
"Doris!" Bernie was overjoyed, and hurriedly looked behind him.
I saw Doris also holding a dinner plate, looking at him with a smile.
"Why did you come to the Propaganda Department? Aren't you working in the Ministry of Culture?"
"I'm begging Abba to transfer me here!" Doris put her plate on the table and sat down in a chair next to Bernie.
"Great!" Bernie couldn't hide the joy in his heart when he heard that Doris had also come to work in the Propaganda Division.
"Hee-hee, be happy, we can see each other every day again in the future. ”
"Well, what are you going to do?"
"Abba said that Mr. Flandy could not always write a newspaper for the Propaganda Department, so the Ministry of Culture also needed to train a group of people who could write articles, and I signed up. ”
"It's a good job, I can sit in the office every day. ”
"Yes, that's why Miss Ben came to work!"
Doris's arrival made Bernie feel like he was back to a few years ago, they could be together every day, and even the reading began to be full of emotion when recording.
Every time he was recording, Doris would quietly stay by his side, becoming the default "sound engineer assistant" even Stewart.
After a full week, as Franky said, Gülen's prestige had increased by a long margin, and he had a smile on his face when he returned to the Magic Tower every day.
In view of the great merits of the Propaganda Department in terms of public opinion, Gülen decided to reward them heavily.
......
"Hurry up, Bernie, are you ready?" Stewart urged from behind.
The newspaper had already been recorded in the morning, and before it was time for lunch, Stewards brought back exciting news.
His Majesty the great Emperor Oskaia presented them with medals as a token of reward, and after the awards, he had lunch with them in the palace.
"I'm ready to go home and change into my dress!"
"Well, His Majesty the Emperor specially called your name, don't be rude!"
"I understand, I understand. ”
Bernie was several years older than Gülen, and when he graduated, Gülen hadn't yet gone to college, so the two didn't know each other.
Among the bard propagandists, a few good ones were also selected, and together with Doris, a dozen people left the building of the Propaganda Division.
The current Minister of Culture, Clarence, has gone from being a marginal figure among important ministers to a celebrity in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and there are five magic cars alone.
When a dozen people arrived at the headquarters of the Ministry of Culture together, Clarence was waiting for them in front of the car.
Bernie hadn't seen this uncle for a long time, and he was a little embarrassed to meet him.
Clarence just smiled and nodded at him, didn't say much, and motioned for everyone to get into the magic car.
These propagandists were all excited, including Bernie, when the family was down, how could they have imagined that one day they would be able to ride in such a noble magic car?
A dozen people sat in four cars, and Doris and Clarence sat together, speeding towards the palace.
The magic car was very smooth along the way, and all the roads in the imperial capital were repaired by the construction team, and in this era when there were no mud trucks, it was guaranteed that there would be no damage for at least ten years.
Although they were all children of the nobility, they had never entered the interior of the palace, and this trip could be regarded as an eye-opener, the splendid buildings, the extravagant interior decoration, made everyone marvel and become more and more restrained.
The Order of Merit has been around since the time of St. Kyle the Great, in recognition of those who have contributed to the Empire.
However, the previous awards of medals were basically with the canonization of nobles, and only nobles could get medals.
But many of these noble children even have titles of their own. For example, Bernie is now the title of viscount, so these medals only represent meritorious service, and have no meaning of knighthood.
The Propaganda Department must be close together as His Majesty the Emperor, and this can be regarded as Gülen's mouthpiece to the outside world, although the newspapers are now compiled by Flandy alone, but it is impossible to go on forever, and sooner or later they will have to complete it.
These people do not lack identity, but glory and ...... money, otherwise he would not have become a bard, so Glenn simply did what they liked, and rewarded each with five hundred gold coins.
Five hundred gold coins can be regarded as a lot of money, as long as they are not poor and extravagant, they will be enough to spend in this life, and they will be moved more than the merit medal that represents their merits.
Even during the reign of His Majesty Haman, such a thing would never have been done, and the status of Emperor Oskaia was so honorable that it would not be awarded by the Emperor unless there was a great merit that made people speechless.
The Propaganda Department just dispelled the rumors circulating in the imperial capital, in fact, the biggest credit is Flandy, they are just the executors, and this little "small credit" is not worthy of being awarded by the emperor himself.
However, Flandy persuaded Gülen to put down his sons, and to come and present them in person, so that they, and even future generations, would remember the emperor's kindness to them.
The day when the gold coins are spent, but the medal can be passed down from generation to grandchildren, and as long as Gülen himself is great enough, then the medal will have corresponding value and can influence generations.
Bernie felt dizzy, although His Majesty the Emperor was younger than most of the people present, but the nobility of that body shocked them to the point where they didn't dare to look at him at all.
This is the difference in status, and Bernie feels that now is the most glorious moment of his life.
