Chapter 209: A Storm of Public Opinion

In the face of Li Kuan's dumping, the five surnames and seven wang families are in Chang'an City, and there is no way to put the imperial power in these places around Chang'an City.

But locally, within the boundaries of what they can control, it's not impossible.

Whether it is an official or a ruffian, anyway, in their territory, there are ways to stop Li Kuan's goods from entering.

But, they can't do that!

They need to consider the thoughts of the civilians under them.

Li Kuan sells things cheaply, but the family does not allow them to be bought, which will definitely cause public outrage.

Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, this sentence is suitable for imperial power, and it is also suitable for family.

Although the people of the family do not regard the commoners as real people from the bottom of their hearts, they also know in their hearts that without these commoners, their so-called power, status, prestige, everything is useless.

Therefore!

Generally speaking, the families will do a good job of superficiality.

They will try their best to be charitable and loving in front of the common people, and during the New Year's holidays, they will also give condolences to the elderly in their place.

Of course!

None of this was paid for in vain.

Condolences to the elderly can gain the prestige of respecting the elderly, helping people and families in need, they can not only gain prestige, but also make the people and families who are helped grateful to them.

As long as they use some more means in the later stage, they can attach these people to them, be their hired farmers, servants, nurses, and work for them.

In short, like movies and TV series, those families in them who are rampant, robbing, and making their own reputation a mess are not said to be none, but they can only be small families, or even landlords.

In this kind of family, once something happens to the landlord, it is basically a wall that is pushed down by everyone.

The real great family will do all the superficial work well, and in anything that benefits the civilians in their territory, they will be very positive on the surface, and they will appear to be good for the civilians on the surface.

In this way, once something happens and something happens, they can also respond to every call and let the civilians under their command follow them to do anything, even if... Rebel.

Therefore, in this case, in order to prevent the collapse of the character, it is naturally impossible for them to prevent Li Kuan's goods from entering.

Therefore, in the past two months, even though they had to vomit blood, the major families could only grit their teeth and endure it.

And in this case, the families ushered in another head-on crit!

"Count the Ten Sins of Five Surnames and Seven Families! --- Datang Daily

Early this morning!

Throughout the Tang Dynasty, all over the country, major cities, major academies, restaurants, green buildings, bookstores, and other places where literati like to gather, there were suddenly many more newspapers.

No one knows the origin of these newspapers, as if they appeared out of thin air--- well, in fact, they were put by the intelligence officers who listened to Li Kuan's faction.

But in short, this one caught people's attention.

Newspapers are not absent in this era.

Di Bao!

But this kind of newspaper is only available in the government, among officials, and can only be read by those who are officials, and cannot be accessed by civilians, poor families, and even ordinary children of families.

In this case, the paper of this Datang Daily is completely unseen by people in this era, coupled with the fact that these newspapers are free to pick up, each person is limited to one copy, and the extremely bold headlines have attracted the attention of the literati, making them unconsciously pick up a newspaper and read it.

And it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's shocking to see it.

The newspaper is about the dirty things about the family.

"It's... This... This is too bold to dare to slander the five surnames and seven families!? ”

"Who did it, aren't you afraid of being approached by five surnames and seven families?"

"This time, I'm afraid that the entire Datang will have a big turmoil!"

"How can I, Xingyang Zheng, allow Xiao'er to slander, when I find the mastermind behind this scene, I will definitely make him look good!!"

"Damn, who dares to slander my Cui family and get impatient?"

"Bastard, bastard, don't let me find the culprit, otherwise I, Lu Wenze, will definitely let you have no good fruit to eat!"

...

The literati who read it, including people from several great families, expressed their horror and anger at the audacity of the contents of this newspaper!

However, in the midst of this horror and anger, there were also Hanmen who read the newspaper carefully and made a different sound.

"Yes, it's all the children of this damn family who control the imperial examination, otherwise how could I fail the exam?"

"The two people in this year's middle school are all children of the family!"

"A lot of the things in there are true... I've seen quite a few of them with my own eyes! ”

"I saw my next-door neighbor beaten to death by a slave of the Cui family!"

"Huh! These five surnames and seven wangs look glamorous on the surface, but in fact, there are a lot of dirty and dirty things! ”

...

The top 10 sins in the newspaper include those related to the imperial examination, tyranny, and money and power trading.

However, it was not Li Kuan who fabricated it out of thin air in order to deal with the family.

In fact, there are examples of these things, and Li Kuan also wrote them all into the newspaper.

It's just that...

He's magnified all of these things by a hundred million points.

For example, the matter of the imperial examination!

In the imperial examination, it is easier for the children of the family to get ahead.

Li Kuan focused on this point on the relationship between the children of the family and the officials who reviewed the papers, and the background of the family itself and the rich knowledge reserve of the children of the family itself were infinitely reduced.

This creates an illusion for the poor people who read the newspaper.

The children of the family rely on relationships to get to the top.

But is that actually the case?

Of course not!

Even if it doesn't rely on relationships, the children of the family are easier to get on the throne than the poor family, and it is easier to do well in the exam.

This is an indisputable fact.

Because the children of the family have money, power, and can see more scenery and learn more things, and the family has more books, and their knowledge reserves are deeper, all of which are beyond the eyes of the children of the poor family.

Under the same conditions, there is a difference between the children of the poor family and the children of the family!

But there is no shortage of people in this world who feel good about themselves, right?

After having the illusion created by Li Kuan, some poor families automatically turned their anger at failing the exam into hatred for the family, believing that the reason why they failed the exam was because they did not have the broad and deep network of connections among the children of the family.

In addition to the imperial examination, Li Kuan also wrote in the newspaper about the family's rampant and bullying of people.

Well, that's also true.

Although most of the family would not do such a brain-dead thing, but the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, right?

There are always some marginal characters of the family, or those who have bad brains, relying on the prestige of the family behind them, so as to bully those ordinary people.

Li Kuan just magnified this matter infinitely, giving people the illusion that the overall style of the family was not good.

As for the money and power deals...

Family, there are many people who know each other, and there are more officials who know each other, so those who celebrate the New Year are not allowed to give gifts to each other?

This is actually a normal human relationship.

However, after Li Kuan magnified 100 million points, it was a money and power transaction.

Moreover, there is no way to justify this.

After all, the gift is really given.

And because of the good relationship between each other, some of them are even directly supported by various families, and ordinary officials will also give convenience to the families or something.

All in all!

In Li Kuan's report that magnified hundreds of millions of points, the entire Datang began to brew a storm of public opinion against the five surnames and seven families, and even each family!
