Chapter 775: Newspapers Can Control Public Opinion
"No." Meng Yi immediately objected, "How can Mr. take risks, if you want to go, I must go."
"Who says you're not going?" Qin An said.
"That's right. I'd better go." Meng Yi said, and he quickly reacted, "Wait, Mr. asked me to go with you?"
"Of course." Qin An said, "If you can, bring Ganluo with you."
"Left Phase?" Meng Yi said in embarrassment, "I'm afraid he won't want to go."
Qin An said, "This matter is not for him. I still have some things to deal with, you go to the palace to meet my father-in-law, tell him, I want ten special forces, fully armed special forces.
In addition, I want you and Gan Luo to accompany me to the Swallow Land."
"Your Majesty won't agree." Meng Yi said.
"Yes." Qin An said, "King Yan still has 200,000 troops on his hands, which is a good labor force, and we can't waste it."
"But from Xianyang City to Yandi, you still need to pass through Wei Di and Zhao Di, and a railway route has just been planned.
At the same time, when the remnants of Wei Di and Zhao Di learned of my visit to Yandi, they would definitely send someone to invite me over, and I could receive them at the same time.
Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I need you to do. You come with me to the study."
Then Qin An turned around and went to the study, and Meng Yi followed behind him.
After arriving at the study, Qin An walked to his desk, picked up something on the table and handed it to Meng Yi.
"Sir, is this?"
"Newspapers." Qin An said, "Daqin Daily, I thought of it in the last few days, but now Daqin has changed too quickly, and the people don't know how much Daqin has changed.
So that the people would know about it, I made this newspaper."
"The paper of this newspaper seems to be very soft and rough, and the ink will melt when it drops on it, how did the gentleman write on it?" Meng Yi asked curiously.
"With printing, the paper used in this newspaper is something I just developed, and it's already being mass-produced." Qin An said, "This newspaper has a great role, it can control public opinion in the world, and it can make the people of the six countries return to Great Qin as soon as possible.
Anyway, there are many wonderful things about newspapers, and there is also a list of rules and regulations and procedures for running a newspaper, although it is not very detailed, but it is enough for now.
In order to reflect the credibility of the newspaper and the principle of seeking truth from facts, there must be evidence for everything in the newspaper, and it must not be fabricated.
And I can also publish some of my deeds and father-in-law's affairs in the newspaper, such as yesterday my father-in-law corrected and folded until late at night, and finally fell asleep on the desk, and there are still sleep marks during the day.
Or that my father-in-law was pulled by my mother-in-law's ears and so on.
It is also possible to write down the national policy, but the policy should be as brief as possible, but the benefits of the policy to the people should be clearly written.
Then there are some things about the war, and what new writings there are from the hundreds of schools of thought, and so on.
And then the newspaper needs to have editors, reporters, and so on, and that's all written in this book."
Meng Yi took the folded newspaper and said, "Don't worry, sir, I'll go to see Your Majesty now, but I'm afraid Your Majesty won't agree to Mr. Yandi's visit."
Qin An said with a smile: "Just go, if your father-in-law doesn't agree, you can tell him that it is not possible to do it behind closed doors, and for my safety, he also needs to set up the newspaper as soon as possible."
I want the whole world to know that I, Qin An, went to Yandi, to persuade the anti-Qin forces in Yandi to let them join Great Qin, so that the people of the world can get real peace and the true unity of China.
In addition, the number of deaths in the wars of the Seven Kingdoms over the years can be written in the newspapers.
You will say, you know this, what is the use of writing it.
But the people didn't know, and the people still thought that Great Qin had destroyed their country, and they had a grudge against Great Qin to destroy the country.
Although many of them have now returned to Daqin, they want to truly erase the hatred in their hearts.
It's going to take time, and it's unlikely for this generation anyway."
"Sir is too worried." Meng Yi said with a smile: "Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, the wind and rain are smooth, and the Xiongnu have been beaten away, Baiyue has returned to their hearts, and the Western Regions are dependent.
Now that Great Qin is already an empire on which the sun never sets, how can the people still hate Great Qin."
Qin An shook his head and said, "Heart to heart, if it wasn't Great Qin who destroyed the Six Kingdoms, but other countries, would you Meng Yi think about revenge?"
"Of course." Meng Yi said, "How can you not repay the hatred of destroying the country?"
Qin An looked at Meng Yi in a daze, and Meng Yi also reacted, and sneered, "Sir, I know."
Qin An said: "Remember, don't blindly jump to conclusions, especially you Jinyiwei, not only have to learn to empathize, this empathy is not only to look at things from the other party's point of view, but also to look at things from other angles.
Sometimes, the bystander is more able to see what is going on, which is called bystander clearing.
Well, without further ado, newspapers are the best weapon to control public opinion, so that gossip can be effectively prevented from harming Daqin.
In the future, there was a time when everyone in the world thought that the First Emperor Yingzheng was the first tyrant in the world.
It's because of the gossip and the fact that we've been able to verify it for 2,000 years.
Until we dug up a tomb of the First Emperor, a county order called Xi, who loved his country very much, that is, Daqin, and wrote the First Emperor and some things in the court and politics on bamboo slips.
Thus we know that during the reign of the First Emperor, not a single minister was killed, and when recruiting conscripts, the people were allowed to delay due to weather or other reasons.
But when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, the date was delayed because of the rain, and the thing that would die should be Hu Hai or Zhao Gao's behavior.
However, the people did not know it, but they counted him all on the head of the First Emperor.
It can be said that the First Emperor suffered two thousand years of infamy because of this. Fortunately, we unearthed an ancient tomb of officials from the period of the First Emperor, otherwise my father-in-law does not know how long he would have been infamy."
"It's really hateful, the infamy of the Second Emperor is all on Your Majesty, and I must tell Your Majesty about this matter.
Sir, I'll take my leave."
"Go ahead, let my father-in-law set up a historian to record his words and deeds, as well as national policies and officials' thoughts.
It is divided into two kinds, one is the father-in-law's diet and daily life, words and deeds, etc., which can be called a living record.
The second is to record the major events of the state, both good and bad, such as the First Emperor who ordered the construction of the Great Wall, so that millions of people died in the construction of the Great Wall." Qin An reminded.
"Okay. I will tell Your Majesty what the gentleman means."
