"Let him come up."

"Yes, boss."

The employee ran downstairs and called Dingyuan Hou up.

After Dingyuan Hou Xing rushed up, he grabbed Li Xingchen's hand.

"Li Xingchen, the newspaper is really your masterpiece?"

He looked at Li Xingchen's eyes, full of excitement.

In fact, since the last time, after he almost died at the hands of the commander of the forbidden army in Lingzhou and was saved by Li Xingchen, he not only kept his promise to send people to Lingzhou for all his family property, but also completely eliminated his hatred for Li Xingchen.

It wasn't until this period that he saw the content in the newspaper, which became more and more real and eye-catching, that he came excitedly.

Although he is a marquis and does not like to read, he is very interested in stories and wild history.

Li Xingchen nodded and withdrew his hand without leaving a trace.

"If you have something to say, don't do it."

"Li Xingchen, I used to underestimate you, do you know, do you know how powerful this newspaper is? You're really young! This newspaper may not be famous. ”

He looked at Li Xingchen's eyes and admired it more and more.

"Not only that, but the existence of the newspaper itself is a great merit for the benefit of the people, much more awesome than the sweet potatoes you invented earlier, improved seeds, cotton clothes, and so on."

Li Xingchen thought it was funny, this gentleman had changed his personality?

According to the previous routine, shouldn't you be looking for trouble?

Li Zhen pursed his lips, and he couldn't figure out when Dingyuan Hou reconciled with Li Xingchen.

"Dingyuan Hou, you have to speak over your brain." Li Zhen said unhappily.

At this time, Marquis Dingyuan noticed that the emperor was also here, and the expression on his face flashed a little unnatural, and he knelt down reluctantly.

"Wechen see my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

"Get up, there's no need to be polite outside, I want to ask you, how can a mere newspaper be a celebrity, why didn't I see that this newspaper is so powerful?"

There were a few people next to him who were serving tea and pouring water, stopped their work, and looked at Dingyuan Hou suspiciously.

The newspaper is indeed a novelty, but it is not as famous as a thousand history, right?

At the same time, Li Xingchen also looked at him and wanted to hear how he bragged.

Dingyuan Hou was embarrassed by them.

"You think, newspapers have now become almost a part of the entire capital.

The things recorded in it are also testified by the prime minister's official seal to be true.

After the newspaper office is opened throughout the Great Wei, everyone will live under the story of real research, and it will no longer be like the previous gang of word-of-mouth, and after a few people, it will be a completely changed event. ”

The prime minister nodded and said in a deep voice, "Indeed." Even though the content of the newspaper is completely true, the people are still reading the story.

It's nothing more than a true story that makes them want to watch it even more.

But despite this, it has nothing to do with what you said about leaving a thousand years of history. ”

"Oh, it's a shame that you're still the prime minister, it's really stupid to say such idiotic things." Marquis Dingyuan glanced at the prime minister with disdain.

"Don't forget, the words in the newspaper are printed, and the date. Is it able to survive for more than ten years, or even decades. If the material of the paper is good, I am afraid it can last for hundreds of years.

Imagine how shocking it would be to look at the newspaper decades later and still know clearly what really happened back then? ”

In the end, Dingyuanhou's eyes burst into light.

"Especially for older people, many times what just happened is forgotten in a blink of an eye.

But if there are newspapers, the major events that have happened will not be forgotten, nor will they become unrecognizable by word of mouth. ”

When the words fell, the audience was stunned.

Several employees looked shocked, and they all turned their heads to look at Li Xingchen, and their eyes became adoring.

Yes. Isn't this something that will go down through the ages?

Although there were historians in the imperial court who would record major events, historians mainly recorded major events in the imperial court.

Not only that, but sometimes some old news recovered from the people, the one that pinches the head and removes the tail, brings its own subjectivity, and re-records, it will become unrecognizable.

Newspapers, on the other hand, record all about people's livelihood issues and real events that have been investigated.

To some extent, history books are not as accurate as newspapers.

Perhaps, future historians will have to extract information from newspapers decades ago to write history books.

"Now you believe what I said, the newspaper must go down in history, right? And I think the newspaper is also very helpful to you, Your Majesty. Dingyuan Hou said proudly.

"Oh?" Li Zhen came back to his senses, "This is reconciliation? ”

"Your Majesty, haven't you always been unaccustomed to the style of some powerful people?

Those powerful people, who have half of the world's scholars in their hands, once something happens, let these scholars fan the flames and reverse black and white, and the emperor and you secretly accuse it of nothing.

But if there is a newspaper whose credibility is officially recognized in the minds of the people, do you think the people will believe the contents of the newspaper, or will the people under the hands of the powerful fan fanned the flames? ”

Rumble!

Li Zhen was as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt.

For the first time, he felt that Dingyuan Hou was not as stupid as he had imagined before.

The head is still quite flexible.

The prime minister frowned, and he was angry at the mention of the nobles.

Because he was born poor, he relied on his own ability to reach the high position of prime minister step by step, unlike those who were born with everything.

Therefore, he both hates rich people and loves money very much, and is a very contradictory individual.

Li Zhen fell into deep thought, and after a while, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Yes, Dingyuanhou's analysis is not wrong.

As long as the newspaper is promoted to the entire Great Wei Dynasty, and all the people are aware in their hearts that the contents of the newspaper are true, then in the future, the sharp articles written by those scholars who are supported by the powerful will be useless and unable to guide public opinion.

After that, Quangui's control over public opinion will gradually be weakened, and he will not be able to discredit himself at the slightest disagreement.

At that time, it will be the time when you can really sit firmly in the world.

"Although the words are good, there is a very serious problem, there are many ordinary people who are illiterate, how can we make everyone read the newspaper every day?" Li Zhen asked.

As long as the people are illiterate, they will still be misled by the readers.

The prime minister was stunned, indeed, it takes a long time for the people of the world to slowly become literate and let themselves read the newspaper.

Faced with this difficulty, half of Li Zhen's previous excitement disappeared.

I thought it was a very simple thing to face the control of public opinion, but in fact it was as difficult as trying to support the poor.

No, it's much more difficult than supporting the poor.

Dingyuanhou's head also seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water.

The imagination is beautiful, the reality is skinny.

He completely ignored the fact that many people could not read a single word.
