Chapter 318: The Mouthpiece of the Monarch

The first issue of Huaxia Daily was officially printed on the third day of the Lunar New Year and handed over to the supply and marketing cooperatives for sale, and at the same time, administrative units at all levels also gave away the corresponding number of copies according to their ranks.

Newspapers, a novelty, quietly entered the sight of the Chinese people in the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival.

Due to the use of lead movable type printing, the typography is more neat and clear, and the price is more affordable.

A newspaper costs only two pennies, and any citizen can afford to buy it.

When they saw the article on the monarch, many Mocheng residents paid for it. The supply and marketing cooperatives quickly sold out, and they asked the newspapers to print more.

In the first issue of the newspaper, in addition to the two articles published in the public announcement, there is also an article in the theory section.

This is also the most novel article for the people, because this article does not talk about state affairs, but about so-called philosophical theories.

Its title is: The Materiality of the World of Yan Zheng's Philosophy.

This article begins with a style that is popular with the people, and says that things in the world are colorful and changeable, and if you have to find a common denominator, then it should be material.

The so-called materiality means that whether it is a person or something else, it is composed of all kinds of things that are touched, seen, felt, and objectively real, and this material objectively exists, that is, it is there, and it will not become non-existent because of one of your thoughts or words.

Just like Zhuge Liang borrowed an arrow, the arrow loss is objective, and the arrow that Zhuge Liang wants to borrow must be used by some means to promote the arrow to lose this "thing" and be shot on the grass boat.

Therefore, when the idea of borrowing arrows from the grass boat was together, the arrow loss had already objectively existed, and if Zhuge Liang just wanted to do it, but did not act, he would not be able to get the arrow into his own hands.

Only when we have an idea and then practice can we take advantage of a certain regular characteristic of the arrow loss to get Cao Wei's arrow loss to the side of Soochow............

Literate citizens read this article as if they were listening to the chatter of the monarch, but this kind of chatter is extremely interesting, with all kinds of analogies and stories.

After reading this article, I will more or less believe that in this world, the common denominator of everything is that they are all made up of "things", which is called the materiality of the world.

Even if it is not so clear, and does not have the meaning of this view, it is to make the people understand that the materiality of the world determines that it is impossible to just think and not do it, and only active practice can change things.

Yan Zheng thinks that his writing is not particularly good, and he has the aura of a monarch, so as long as he sets the tone, then future generations will have the ability to stand up and improve.

The reason why the first article was chosen to talk about materiality is also to lay the foundation and let the people read a complete set of philosophical systems step by step.

The significance of this practice is that the people can be baptized once, and no matter how effective it is, it will be taught in schools in the future.

In addition, the most interesting to the people is science and technology, which explains the research process of animal harvesters and animal transplanters, indicating that there is already a first generation of machines, and is solving the simplification and obstacle removal.

It also introduced in detail the situation of the first soda plant that will be put into operation, and explained the application of soda ash in the future and the various benefits it will bring.

Even the old farmers, after listening to this article, are smiling very comfortably, as if an article has shortened the distance between them and various technologies!

Yangang, due to the construction of the post station, made the simultaneous distribution of Huaxia Daily on the same day.

This newspaper was also sold well here, and not only the representatives of various merchants bought it, but also the citizens of Yangang were very enthusiastic about it.

After all, it was the monarch who wrote the article on it, and no matter how much he had to praise it. It's just that after this group of Ming descendants got the newspaper, their reaction was completely different.

The article they paid the most attention to was not the New Year's speech, nor the technology and theory, but the article "Throw away unrealistic illusions, and prepare for war!" 》。

Because in this article, they saw the fierce momentum displayed by the monarch of Eastern Qin, and every word seemed to be saying that if anyone dared to take a step beyond the thunder pool, they would definitely usher in the most resolute counterattack of Eastern Qin.

After thinking about it carefully, they quickly understood that the suppression of this peripheral force was referring to the Ming Dynasty.

This made their hearts tremble, and this kind of open expression of hostility and warlike spirit was not something they could understand.

It is also something they are reluctant to accept, what Shang Jia is most afraid of is war and instability, every time a civil unrest breaks out in the Ming Kingdom, Shang Jia must be slaughtered by the imperial court.

So when they thought about it like this, they felt that these previous measures were all Dongqin's invitation to enter the urn.

Dong Jinghua was also looking at this newspaper, but he didn't have too much worry about this article, he only read the intention of preparing for war.

I feel that this is a normal arrangement made by Dongqin, after all, the Ming Dynasty is between the late rulers, and the wealth of the Eastern Qin Dynasty has also spread in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty.

As the saying goes, if the Ming Dynasty really wants to fight the idea of Dong Qin, then Dong Qin's preparations for war are naturally extremely far-sighted and necessary.

When he read that after the mass production of soda ash, Dongqin daily chemicals, textiles and papermaking can usher in further development, he couldn't help but have a strong interest in the truth behind this.

It's a pity that this article only lets you know what it is, but doesn't let you know why it is, as if it is a deliberate move to prevent leaks.

He also had to hope that he would have the opportunity to visit one or two in the future.

"Director Dong, are you also reading the newspaper?" Just as he was flipping through it, Executive Officer Lin Xiaoyue walked over.

Dong Jinghua hurriedly got up and said, "That's right! The article on the king should be tasted one or two. ”

Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile on her face: "Then you have to develop the habit of reading newspapers in the future, it is said that this newspaper will be the mouthpiece of the Huaxia State Government in the future!" Relevant policy trends will be indicated in the newspapers. ”

Dong Jinghua nodded and said: "Such words are excellent, a simple newspaper can let all the people know about the major affairs of the family and the country, and I have to say that the king is wise!"

"Director Dong's words are good!"

Lin Xiaoyue was amused, and added: "By the way, you have to communicate with Captain Tian Wu of Eastern Qin later, this time you need to transport a batch of military quartermasters to Zhiyuan Port, the fleet has been announced, and the freight will be paid."

Dong Jinghua arched his hand and said: "I'll do it later, but this time I go back to Annan, can I add one more item to the goods?"

"Which one?"

"Ginseng!"

Lin Xiaoyue thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is a quota for ginseng, and our company should not have the right to sell it."

Dong Jinghua said with a smile: "You can go and apply, you don't need too much, I have heard of Annan's business in my early years, although it is the smallest country over there, there are many wealthy people, this one-foot-long mountain ginseng must be a treasure, and it can be used for transportation over there!"

Lin Xiaoyue felt reasonable, nodded and said, "I'll go to the customs cadres to discuss one or two!"

With that, she hurriedly ran out of the door.

Dong Jinghua looked at her and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

He felt that the position of executive officer was really a stroke of genius from the Dongqin people in the company.

Although he didn't know so many twists and turns, he still understood that this move was to let the right people be in charge of the business, so that only the salary was paid, which could make the operation more reasonable while protecting everything.

In fact, it is to separate ownership, decision-making power and operation power, and in history, the first to do so was to bring the British. This move also symbolizes the maturity of capitalist private ownership.

In other words, Yan Zheng has been trying his best to promote marketization and privatization, and all localities must be included in the market, and private ownership must be recognized in order to allow capital to multiply without constraints.

This seems to be the move of the workers and thieves, but in fact it is the most in line with this era, after all, the main task now is to destroy the feudal economy and develop the productive forces.
