Da Qin: Self-destruction and time travel, I will extend my life for Qin for a thousand years

Chapter 79 The public opinion war begins, Cui Yuan’s newspaper plan

"I want to start a newspaper."

"It is through regular printing of newspapers to publish information that the court needs to publish, such as announcements, wanted orders, etc."

"Use a more understandable language and print it on a large amount of paper to promote the patriotic spirit to the people."

"In the future after 2000, controlling the right to speak in society will be almost as important as national defense for a big country."

Yes!

This is Cui Yuan's idea just now - to strengthen public opinion propaganda in Da Qin.

Anyway, papermaking and movable type printing have been invented and verified in application. It would be a pity not to establish an official media.

And whether it is now or in the future, there are countless bloody examples that prove the importance of the right to speak.

Among other things, before Cui Yuan was born, there was a superpower that was invaded by external ideas and eventually collapsed because it was unable to control its own right to speak.

The fatal attack that defeats a giant is often not the external enemy, but internal instability.

Ying Zheng thought thoughtfully: "Is it just like when you suggested that I let Hou Sheng and other alchemists go and let them go to the homeland of the Six Kingdoms to spread the patriotic ideas of Qin?"

He still remembers this policy.

Although it has only been started for a few months and the time is short, the effects have already begun to emerge.

Civil unrest in various places and voices criticizing Qin's cruelty have been greatly reduced, and there are even good stories praising his own achievements.

Before, Ying Zheng never dared to think of such a thing.

As Cui Yuan said at the beginning, alchemists such as Hou Sheng and Lu Sheng are indeed good in this field.

"Yes! Your Majesty is wise."

Cui Yuan nodded, picked up a branch, and drew a small tree on the wasteland at his feet.

"If Daqin is compared to a wasteland, then if we want to spread patriotic ideas, we must plant grass on this land."

“Sending alchemists is like painting trees on a wasteland, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.”

"Because there are still too few famous alchemists after all. A few hundred people simply cannot cover the entire Great Qin in a short time."

"And once they leave, the people will be easily re-brainwashed by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and the tree underground will disappear without a trace if the wind blows."

As he spoke, he put down the branch and pointed to the lush grass in the distance.

"If you want to maintain it for a long time, you must sow seeds in the wasteland of Da Qin and let it grow green grass for a long time."

"So this time, I plan to use the method of recording information on Hsinchu paper, start to promote the patriotism of Da Qin on a large scale and continuously, and completely start a public opinion war against the remnants of the Six Kingdoms!"

Ying Zheng was stunned.

He sometimes looked at the half-blurred simple drawing at the boy's feet, sometimes looked at the ever-present green grass in the distance, and gasped slightly.

He had never thought that the principles of governing a country would be revealed to him naturally like this!

Yes!

It is good to let the alchemists promote the good name of Da Qin, but in the end it is just a flower in the mirror, which is far inferior to setting up a special organization to promote it.

Moreover, they don't really love Da Qin. They are obedient now because of their own pressure.

Now they can obey themselves out of fear, then they will definitely be forced to betray themselves by the remnants of the Six Nations in the future.

However, Ying Zheng still had a question in his mind.

"Cui Neishi, why are you telling me this now?"

"If I remember correctly, it has been three months since Hsinchu paper appeared, right?"

It's not that Ying Zheng doubts Cui Yuan, it's just the emperor's instinct.

"Your Majesty is indeed keen."

Cui Yuan admired him.

Fortunately, he had no intention of hiding His Majesty from the beginning to the end and listened to the bullshit system's deception, otherwise the grass on the grave would definitely be three feet high by now.

"To explain this, we must first talk about the concept of public opinion warfare - to make more people believe what we say."

"In order to achieve this, two key points must be met. One is how to make the majority of people hear."

"We can achieve this by printing a large number of newspapers and distributing them at low prices or even free of charge."

"The second one is how to make the people who hear us believe what we say."

"To achieve this, we must first take actual actions to prove that what we say is true."

"And the best way to prove that Da Qin is not a violent Qin is undoubtedly to let the people truly see how good Da Qin is to them."

"There was no real case before, so even if some people knew that the nobles of the Six Kingdoms and the various schools of thought were oppressing them, they dared to be angry and dare not speak out. They did not dare to trust the court, and were worried that the officials were the remnants of the Six Kingdoms."

"And now, there is an example from Kuaiji County!"

"As long as it is written in the first newspaper - His wise and powerful Majesty personally came to Kuaiji County and saw that the people were living in dire straits, so he cleaned up the officialdom and severely punished the remnants of the six countries."

"Cui Yuan, the new governor of Su Nei who came from the year 2000, chose to risk his life to fight the various schools of thought in order to seek justice for the people of Kuaiji. He eventually won and severely punished the various schools of thought."

"Your Majesty, won't our Great Qin's credibility be improved?"

Cui Yuan spoke in great detail, and Ying Zheng kept nodding his head as he listened, and at the end he couldn't help laughing.

"Ha ha!"

"You're such a bad guy!"

"We obviously only came here to conquer Xiang Yu, and cleaning up the officialdom in Kuaiji was just an unexpected gain."

"The various schools of thought will make an appointment with you because they think you will threaten them in the future. Why do you think you are so upright and upright?"

Cui Yuan shook his head and smiled awkwardly: "Aren't I making reasonable rhetoric based on facts?"

"And the fact is that the people were indeed saved by us, and I didn't change the outcome!"

He would not admit that these methods were learned from the UC shock department of later generations.

After all, compared to them, he was just making a small fuss at best.

"You are really getting more and more glib."

Ying Zheng rolled his eyes, but nodded: "Although it is a bit fictional, it is basically consistent with the facts."

"Then do as you say!"

"After we returned to Xianyang, we started to establish this newspaper office and publish this first newspaper."

"Yeah!" Cui Yuan nodded.

In ancient times, the way to spread news was very limited. Basically, it could only be through shouting. And even if it spread, it would only be known to the nobles of the six countries at the top. Ordinary people would not understand anything at all.

Therefore, the promotion of newspapers does not need to be as real-time as in the previous life, and it does not matter even if it is several months at night.

"By the way, in addition to easy-to-understand reports, I also hope to add some vivid illustrations and interesting stories, such as destroying seedlings to encourage growth, so that people who don't know how to read can understand them."

Cui Yuan made suggestions.

"good idea!"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up slightly.

Although Daqin is now planning to build new colleges in various places, water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness.

Moreover, the first batch of graduates from Liucunbao Academy have not yet appeared, and they are only targeting the nobles.

Even if Great Qin had enough money and wives, and opened the qualifications to study to everyone, it would take at least ten years for the establishment of other colleges to be completed.

If during this transitional period, the means mentioned by Cui Yuan can be used to allow people who do not understand the language to understand some newspapers, then the newspaper's communication effect will definitely be better.

Cui Yuan’s clever ideas are really endless!
But soon, his brows wrinkled again.

"The matter of controlling people's hearts and launching a war of public opinion can be temporarily put aside, but what should we do with the remaining disciples of various schools?" "Although there are indeed some scum among them, there are also many people, such as the Mohist family, the Yin-Yang family and the Farmers, they really care about the people of the world."

"This time you challenged them to a battle and almost completely defeated them."

"At this time, if there is no one who can convince them to come forward to take them back, so many scholars will lose their restraints, and trouble will definitely occur."

As he said that, he looked at the disciples of various schools who had not been punished but were in despair.

Cui Yuan also frowned and thought at first, but soon realized something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, you don't want me to come and take them back, do you?"

"I'm not free!"

Cui Yuan was stunned!

He also has to fish, pet cats, pick up girls, and occasionally work to continue the Qin Dynasty. How can he have time to care about these people?

"What do you say?"

Ying Zheng looked back, with a half-smiling look on his face: "This is the trouble you caused yourself, do you still want me to wipe your ass?"

"Especially that Mohist giant Mo Fei, I think he even wants to give his daughter to you."

"This……"

Cui Yuan's face turned red: "Your Majesty, stop talking nonsense. Who is Mo Xue? My dear Majesty, you have such thick thighs!"

"vomit!"

"Get out of my way!"

Ying Zheng pushed Cui Yuan away with disgust on his face and almost vomited from nausea.

"No matter what, you have to accept this situation now."

"Besides, I can't find a more suitable person."

"Okay~"

Cui Yuan spread his hands helplessly.

Now that it's reached this point, he can't refuse.

But fortunately, the mountain people have a clever plan.

Isn't it just to recapture hundreds of schools of thought and trick them into working for the Qin Dynasty?

This thing is simple, but he can't help in vain!

"But Your Majesty, I hope that after this is completed, you can announce that Qin will launch troops against the Xiongnu next year!"

"what!"

Ying Zheng was shocked!

It was not promised for ten years, why would we suddenly launch troops against the Huns next year?
Cui Yuan, does this kid understand what this concept is?

"Even if I can agree, General Wang, Feng Quji, Li Si and others will not agree."

Ying Zheng was very serious, and the imperial power of the Qin Dynasty was far less hierarchical than that of the later Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Although the First Emperor kept his word, as long as he had not made a complete decision, the officials would have the opportunity to refute the argument.

Even if Cui Yuan proposed such a major event as mobilizing troops against the Xiongnu and supported it, he would encounter countless resistance.

"It's okay, Your Majesty, you just need to announce the news in public."

As he said that, there was a hint of confidence in the young man's eyes: "Just leave the rest to me."

Ying Zheng was silent for a moment, looking at the young man intently.

In the end, he nodded slowly: "Okay, then I will continue to believe in you."

At this moment, the moon at night is particularly bright.

……

When the conversation between Ying Zheng and Cui Yuan ended, they were about to return to Xianyang.

What happened in Kuaiji County was like a storm, spreading throughout the world.

Ordinary people know very little because they do not know the written language and lack channels.

However, the nobles of the Six Kingdoms, the various schools of thought in other places, and the Xianyang Court were all plunged into unprecedented shock!

Xianyang, in the residence of Prime Minister Zuo.

"Cui Naishi deserves to be from after 2000. He is so courageous!"

Right Prime Minister Feng Quji, who was a guest, let out a breath, his eyes full of admiration.

"Yes, Mr. Cui is simply a god in this world!"

Li Si on the side also used the honorific title unconsciously.

As a former disciple of Confucianism, a representative of Legalism not long ago, and now the new leader of Confucianism, Li Si knows best about the intellectual abilities of various schools of thought.

Although now that the Qin Dynasty has unified the world, various schools of thought have lost their official positions in the original six kingdoms, and their influence is not as good as before.

In the court of Da Qin, he could only discuss politics as a doctor, without any real power.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Hundreds of years of accumulation by various schools of thought is no joke!
They may be restrained inside the customs, but once outside the customs, they are basically the same as the original nobles of the six countries, and they are all the emperors above the common people.

Ever since he presided over the dethronement of hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, Li Si had thought about conquering all schools of thought many times, but he never had the courage to do so.

And now, the young man who had given him countless shocks not only did what he did not have the courage to do, but even almost brought all the schools of thought to collapse.

"Yes!"

"In addition, the entire Kuaiji County was purged and countless remnants of the Six Kingdoms were arrested."

"It's a pity that most people in the world don't know about this. Otherwise, they would definitely cheer for His Majesty and Cui Neishi."

Feng Quji was a little disappointed.

This feeling of having done great good things but not many people know about it is really frustrating.

"you do not need to worry."

Li Si smiled and comforted: "Who is Cui Neishi? He will not eat dust wherever he goes."

"Even if the people don't know about it this time, he will definitely do more in the future, and one day he will be able to let the whole world know!"

"And maybe he doesn't have to wait for the future. He has figured out how to spread it now. Don't forget his identity!"

"Ha ha!"

Feng Quji chuckled: "Yes!"

Li Si was right, Cui Yuan was a god, and what he couldn't do didn't mean he couldn't do it.

The two of them took out a jar of wine, and in an instant the whole Zuo Prime Minister fell into laughter.

……

On the outskirts of Xianyang City, there is a hole where refugees gather.

"Bastard Cui Yuan, sooner or later I'm going to kill you!"

Hu Hai, who was extremely hungry and a completely different person compared to a few months ago, huddled in a rotten tree and gnashed his teeth.

Although he was demoted from Xianyang, he still had some connections and knew the news.

He was angry, but looking at the rags around him, he felt desperate.

Can I really have the ability to take revenge like this?
"Master Hu Hai, you have not reached the point of complete despair."
