This newspaper is a bit like a notice from Datang, but if any government notice of Datang wants to be transmitted to all states and counties of Datang, the speed will be very slow, and in fact, many ordinary people do not understand it, and they will not give any explanation for the entire notice.

And something like this will not be explained to ordinary people at all, but this newspaper of the Han means that the behavior of the imperial court is explained to everyone in the entire Han Dynasty, which means that if the imperial court of the Han does anything. If they publish it in this newspaper, all the people of the world will know about it.

This means that the emperor's voice can reach any place in the entire ruling area, and there will be no situation where the emperor is far away, and there will be many things explained in this newspaper, not only limited to the decrees of the imperial court, but also the imperial court's plans for the future, as well as some things to promote.

For example, this Han's explanation of this marriage law means that these things can be spread to the people of the world in an instant. If Li Shimin has this thing, a lot of things, Li Shimin doesn't have to be afraid of those gate valve families at all, because he can directly tell these people about his orders.

This thing has Huo Gang's private seal on it, that is to say, this represents what Huo Gang said, and the people naturally believe 100% of such words, so it is impossible for those gate valve families to do anything to fool the local people.

Will there be such a thing? Of course there will be, Wei Zheng has always been in Chang'an, but he knows very well that in some remote areas, the imperial decrees cannot be achieved at all, even if some local officials get the imperial decrees, but if these decrees are not beneficial to them, they can pretend to ignore them.

In the later period, even if the imperial court pursued it, they had countless reasons to shirk it, but with newspapers, this kind of thing could not happen, of course, this had to be spread to the local area.

However, after the decree was sent, it could be said that no one saw it by the local officials, but after the newspaper was delivered, it was impossible that no one would see it.

And Wei Zheng also sensitively captured the real role of this newspaper, taking it as a huge propaganda power, for example, last year, Li Shimin went to the Western Regions to help the victims, such news is like Jiangnan It was already very late when he learned the news.

But if there is a newspaper propaganda in advance, such news can be known to the whole world in an instant, and most importantly, it can guide the people's minds, not to let the people listen to some rumors, Wei Zheng knows very well that many peasant uprisings in history are also related to these.

This Huo Gang...... It's really a genius, I don't know where he got so many ways, of course, there is another reason, that is, Dahan has such paper printing technology, after Wei Zheng came here, he had already heard that Huo Gang did business with the fifth surname Qiwang last year, and sold a lot of books to the fifth surname Qiwang.

Those books can be said to be sold at a very terrifying price, and now, from this selling price, we know that the prices that Huo Gang sold at the beginning must be negotiable.

However, it is estimated that the five surnames and seven hopes will not be able to find trouble, and besides, there is still a difference between books and this newspaper.

The role of this newspaper is too great, as can be seen from the newsboys running everywhere, these newspapers estimate that the Han Dynasty has printed at least tens of thousands of copies, and not only in Yumen Pass, but also in other cities.

However, this newspaper is good at everything, but there is one shortcoming, or the shortcoming of the whole Han, that is, they write articles, why do they always like so much nonsense? Things that can be clearly explained in a few words have to be discussed at length and nonsense throughout.

According to Wei Zheng's opinion, the entire newspaper only needs about one-third of the space to finish all the contents.

Of course, after the slander ended, he also understood why Huo Gang did this, because the reason for writing like this is that everyone can understand it, and if it is written in one-third of the space as he said, then it is estimated that there are not many people who can understand the entire Han Dynasty.

After all, to see such an article, it takes a certain amount of literary literacy to be able to do it, and not everyone can read it clearly.

It's just that Wei Zheng doesn't know very well, what is the reason why Huo Gang did this, these ordinary people, what is the point of letting them know this? Wouldn't it be easier to manage if they didn't know?

But Wei Zheng actually knew about the literacy activities of the Han Dynasty, to be honest, at first Wei Zheng felt that this was very unreliable, if literacy was so simple, it would not be so difficult to read from ancient times to the present.

But after Wei Zheng thoroughly understood it one winter later, he was a little surprised to find that Dahan's literacy was really successful! Please allow Wei Zheng to explode in this place, because this is really something that is hard to imagine for Wei Zheng!

Can you imagine a country where everyone is literate? At least Wei Zheng didn't dare to think about it, but Dahan actually did it.

Of course, what they call literacy is real literacy, not like Wei Zheng thinks, when they are literate, they can actually read, but these ordinary people in the Han Dynasty are actually literate, but they can only understand popular words, such as the articles written by Wei Zheng and others, those ordinary people actually can't understand it.

But does it matter? This is not important, you know, the role of this popular text is really amazing, if Huo Gang is not the leader of the Han Dynasty, but a Tang Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to rush this credit, it is estimated that Huo Gang can become a saint.

Really, Wei Zheng carefully studied the reason why Dahan was able to make people remember so many words so quickly, and then Wei Zheng finally figured out one thing, that is, pinyin. These weird, so-called alphabets simplify the process of literacy, to be precise, only twenty-six letters were written by Huo Gang with initials and finals.

Because its number is far lower than the number of Chinese characters, it is difficult to memorize thousands of Chinese characters at once, but it is naturally much easier to memorize these dozens of letters, and then rely on these letters, you can speak all the pronunciations of unfamiliar Chinese characters and mark them out.

This means that even if anyone encounters a Chinese character they don't know, they can pronounce it if they have pinyin phonetics.

Then these people have a certain ability to learn on their own, and all the literacy eradicates are adults, as long as they learn the pronunciation of these Chinese characters, and corroborate each other with their daily language, then the process of literacy will naturally be accelerated.

Of course, these reasons alone are not enough, Wei Zheng also found another reason, that is, it is related to the salary system of the Han Dynasty, which provides these people with too many lucrative jobs, and these jobs can allow these people to earn enough money to subsidize their families even in winter.

But if you want to work, there is a premise, that is, you must be literate, because a lot of work requires literacy to be carried out, so that for ordinary people, they have the motivation to be literate.

Wei Zheng knows very well what it means for ordinary people to make money, what does it mean to buy food to feed their families, in order to survive, many people even dare to kill, what can't be literate?

What's more, reading books is something that no matter how many people want to do, and now their leader lets them read and write for free, what are they not satisfied with?

So this has created a virtuous circle, these people in order to find a better job, naturally have to work hard to be literate, and the more they work hard to read, they will have better jobs.

Not only the work of these big men, but also these businessmen from other places came to Dahan, and these big Han people they hired, they were naturally willing to ask for literate guys, because literate guys can help a lot of times, without having to go to someone.

Now after seeing this newspaper, Wei Zheng understands that after these newspapers came out, the articles written in such an almost vernacular way that even ordinary people can understand them as long as they are literate.

As long as they can understand, then they know what their leader wants to say, which means that Huo Gang has established an effective means of communication with the people of the world, so that the people of the world can know what he is talking about, this is very important!

If Li Shimin can also do this, Li Shimin can agitate the people of the world, then does the gate valve family dare to be like before? No way! If they dare, they didn't even need Li Shimin's hands, and these people alone could turn these gate valve families into a pile of ruins.

What is the foundation of the world, Li Shimin knows this, and Wei Zheng naturally knows it.

And don't the power of those gate valve families also come from the people?

However, Wei Zheng also knew that it was too difficult for Datang to do this, not to mention anything else, it would not be a simple matter for this newspaper to be sent to every state and county in Datang, and Datang was much bigger than Dahan.

I just don't know if there will be any new ways for Dahan in the future.

But even if it doesn't, Datang can talk about this matter and copy it, even if it is transmitted to a few places near Chang'an, it also means that Li Shimin's control is strengthened.

The emperor's words can be seen, heard, and understood by the people, which is a very important thing.

It's just that...... The people of Datang don't have so many literate!

Wizard! Wei Zheng put down the newspaper in his hand with some emotion, pondered for a while, and handed the newspaper in his hand to his entourage: "Put this newspaper away carefully, and then go out to inquire, does this Han monthly newspaper mean that a new newspaper will be published every month?" ”

"If so, we'll wait for the newspaper to come out next month, and we'll be ready to return to Chang'an." Wei Zheng said, "It's time for us to go back." ”

"Yes!"
