Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 249 Chapter 249: With Ming’s international status, who dares not to give face?
The first black and white TV in the Ming Dynasty was born two hundred years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

News broadcast has also become the main channel for people to obtain current political information.

Every night at seven o'clock, Xinwen Lianbo will be broadcast on time!
In fact, as early as when the first radio station appeared in Ming Dynasty, there was already a news broadcast!
The first radio station of the Ming Dynasty appeared during the Chengwu period. Historically, during the Chengwu period, radio technology had already been put into use!

But at the beginning, it was mainly used for communication between officials and internal reporting of information!
Later, as radios gradually became more popular, ordinary people also had the opportunity to be exposed to radios. Even though ordinary people may not be able to afford radios, there were basically two in every village or town, and they were used by the court to publicize some information. need!
Whether it is radio or television, after it was developed in the era of imperial power, it will most likely become a tool for the court's political propaganda. Compared with modern society, it is much less entertaining and more official and formal!
This is also the result of the general environment!
If you want to have a more comprehensive understanding of the current social environment of Ming Dynasty and the living conditions of the people, watching the news broadcast every day is obviously the most suitable choice!

Today's news broadcast is only half an hour every day.

The first ten minutes are basically about national events, the middle ten minutes are about local current affairs news, and the last ten minutes are about people's livelihood issues!

There are good aspects, and there are also negative reports.

But whether it is good news or negative news, it is basically what the court wants you to see. Those things that cannot be disclosed to ordinary people will naturally not appear in the Xinwen Network broadcast!

To put it bluntly, this is just a propaganda tool used by the court to guide public opinion!

But in general, any news that can be broadcast on the news network will not be falsified. It can only be said that the news content may hide part of it, but major events must be true and credible!

There is also the hardware of the TV itself, whether it is circuit boards or picture tubes, etc., they are all industrialized products. If the industry does not develop, it is impossible to even think about it!

"On weekdays, there are still more positive news. In this era, the role of the Ming Dynasty media, especially the official media, will be even more 'river crab' than in modern society!"

Fang Xiaoru frowned and asked.

"There is definitely negative news, but it must be released selectively and with purpose!"

As for some more detailed and obscure things, Zhu Zhiqin can only communicate with Zhu Yuanzhang and the others in private!
"Why do we feel that the news broadcast on this news broadcast is all good news?"

"Television was invented two hundred years after the founding of the Ming Dynasty. There is no need to think about these technologies. Each one or two hundred years of development and accumulation, with the foundation of the Hongwu Dynasty, is simply impossible to create!"

"Pity!"

Zhu Biao had been watching the news broadcast for more than ten minutes, but basically all he saw was some exciting and positive news, so he couldn't help but ask with a suspicious look on his face.

It is precisely because of this that after Zhu Yuanzhang and others finished dinner, Zhu Zhiqin suggested that everyone watch the news broadcast together.

"It's a pity that there was no such thing as television in the Hongwu Dynasty. Wouldn't it be difficult to get one back in the Hongwu Dynasty?"

It would have taken decades to develop radio communication technology first. It would have been very good. For the early Ming Dynasty, television was a product that was ahead of its time and was impossible to develop!
After all, just having a TV is not enough, there must be other supporting facilities and platforms.

Before Zhu Zhiqin could speak, Zhu Yue explained with a smile.

"Is the Ming Dynasty actually so harmonious now?"

If the ancestors want to understand the Ming Dynasty today, this is the most intuitive way to understand it.

He has always seen things in this area very thoroughly!

To put it bluntly, a TV is just a device that receives picture and sound signals, but the question is where do your picture and sound signals come from?

A group of civil servants also showed thoughtful expressions.

Hearing this, Zhu Li shook his head straightforwardly.

“There’s not much negative news!”

"It is not a product of the same era!"

There are so many important developments!

"If the Hongwu Dynasty also had such propaganda methods, it would be a great help for the court to implement the New Deal Reform!"

Li Xin couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

"Propaganda methods are not limited to radio and television. Before radio and television came out, text was the most common way of transmitting information!"

“We can’t build radio and television, but we can build newspapers first!”

After Zhu Li heard this, he expressed his thoughts.

Originally, he planned to wait until he became emperor at his own level, and then find a way to promote the publication of newspapers!
But if these important ministers in the court can support him, they may not have to wait until he becomes the emperor. After traveling back this time, the court's official report will be published!

Although the efficiency of newspapers in transmitting information cannot be compared with that of radio and television, it was the best and most efficient method that could be thought of in the Hongwu Dynasty!

In fact, newspapers are nothing new.

Whether it was the Tang Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, there was already an official arrival newspaper issued by the court, which was also the predecessor of the newspaper!

It's just that in the era of imperial power, things like repayment were not taken seriously, so there has not been much development over the past thousands of years. The content that can be seen and the scope of distribution are very limited!

"newspaper?"

When Zhu Biao and others heard this, their eyes lit up.

"That's right, the court wants to deepen reform, and many policies should be made known to the common people. Only if the common people know it, the officials at the bottom will not dare to violate the rules and go too far. This can also alleviate the root causes of the inaction of the officials at the bottom. question!"

"Supervision by the imperial court is one thing, but the people must also shoulder the responsibility of supervision!"

"Only when information is completely unobstructed from top to bottom can we ensure that the imperial decree can be better implemented and implemented!"

Zhu Liben nodded solemnly and explained.

"But the problem is that most people are actually illiterate at all!"

"Even if a newspaper is published, it can only be read by literate readers!"

Zhu Biao frowned and raised the biggest problem facing newspaper publishing.

After all, it is written information. First of all, you have to understand what is said in the newspaper before you can understand the court's policy, right?
If you can't even read it, then the newspaper is just like useless paper to ordinary illiterate people!

"So, education in the Ming Dynasty must also be reformed!" "Now that we have traveled three hundred years later, we can definitely learn from the education model of the Jiwu period!"

"If it's fast, in about two generations, at least 80% of the people in the Ming Dynasty will be able to read and write at the most basic level, right?"

"Before this, the imperial court could arrange for people to verbally report the situation to the illiterate people at regular times and at fixed points to convey the imperial decree!"

"This requires the establishment of a special department, and it is definitely not feasible for the local government to be responsible!"

Zhu Yue continued to add with a serious face.

Hearing this, Li Xin and others also looked thoughtful.

This time travel has obviously subverted the cognition of Li Xin and the civil servants the most completely. If Zhu Yue had proposed these concepts before the time travel, most of them would definitely not agree!
But now, no one will doubt whether what Zhu Li said is correct, because the Ming Dynasty three hundred years later has given them a definite answer!

So these civil servants are now thinking only about how to help Han Wang Zhu Li reform the Ming Dynasty, how to promote the development of the times, and how to leave their names in history!

This is a positive change in thinking. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue naturally saw it and felt very satisfied!
It seems that after returning to the Hongwu Dynasty, the plan for in-depth reforms will be much smoother and more efficient!
At this moment, a piece of news being broadcast on TV caught everyone's attention!
Zhu Xiaye burst out laughing because the portrait of the great tyrant Zhu Xiaye was actually lost to other overseas countries!
This is what the news is talking about!
"The fourth child is unlucky enough. He has taken the name of a tyrant and even failed to save his own portrait. It actually appeared in a museum in another country!"

"I wonder if the descendants of the Fourth Brother can get their ancestors' portraits back?"

Zhu Xifeng's tone was full of teasing, a little bit of gloating.

"Master, please stop laughing!"

"After all, this is a cultural relic passed down by the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. No matter what, this portrait cannot be lost overseas. We must find a way to get it back!"

"Otherwise, where would Daming's face be?"

"And this is an authentic hand-painted work by Emperor Chengwu. In this era, it can be regarded as a priceless national treasure!"

When Li Xin and others heard this, they looked helpless.

Especially Li Xin felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, Zhu Xiaye is his grandson!
When he first learned that Zhu Xiye actually founded the Western Daming Dynasty and became the founding king of the Western Daming Dynasty, Li Xinxin was still a little bit happy, thinking, is my grandson so awesome?
But after the name of this big tyrant came out, Li Xin felt a little bit pained again!
"Why is your fourth brother's portrait lost overseas? Are you happy?"

Zhu Yue also frowned and glared at Zhu Xifeng with a dissatisfied tone.

"Actually, this kind of thing cannot be avoided!"

"After the fall of the Western Ming Dynasty, many former nobles of the Western Ming Dynasty emptied the royal family's treasure trove and ran away!"

"People like these, worried that their wealth would be plundered, simply fled overseas when the country was broken, and countless rare treasures were also lost overseas!"

Zhu Zhiqin also sighed helplessly at this time.

"Do those overseas countries dare to provoke our Ming Dynasty?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he frowned and hummed.

"I would definitely not dare to confront the Ming Dynasty head-on, but these cultural relics and treasures were all sent out by the nobles of the Western Ming Dynasty on their own initiative!"

"The reason why these countries put their cultural relics on display and deliberately released this news is simply because they hope that Ming Dynasty can spend money to redeem all those cultural relics!"

"In fact, not only the Western Ming Dynasty, but also the Northern Ming Dynasty also has a lot of cultural relics lost to the outside world! The Ming Dynasty can't just send troops to attack any country just because of one or two cultural relics, right?"

Zhu Zhiqin explained with a wry smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xifeng's face suddenly darkened.

Did they eat melon together and end up eating it on their own heads?
Were a large number of cultural relics also lost in Beida Ming Dynasty?

How could this make him feel so embarrassed?

"Are we just going to let them go like this?"

Zhu Biao asked with a frown.

"It's impossible to let go!"

"The reason why such news is broadcast on the Xinwen Network is for the common people to see!"

"If Ming Dynasty wants to be tough externally, it must also get the support of the people!"

"Only when the common people support the imperial court to bring back all these civil and military forces, can the imperial court without any scruple put pressure on overseas countries through the diplomatic department. If it really reaches that point, even if it means a direct war, I believe the common people will understand! "

"But with Ming's current international status, no country dares not to give face. It's just to take advantage!"

When Zhu Zhiqin heard this, he explained with a serious face.

After everyone heard this, their originally ugly faces softened a lot!
International status refers to Ming’s status in the world!
For example, during the Hongwu period, the Ming Dynasty was also an extremely tough period!
There were the Ming Martial Gods, as well as many noble Huaixi generals in the imperial court. The Ming Dynasty during that period was definitely a hegemon in the world!
It's just that for the time being, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue are only thinking about development and have not yet decided to send troops to the outside world immediately!

But if a fight breaks out, no surrounding country or force can defend the Ming Dynasty's kings during the Hongwu period!
Later, the Ming Dynasty was divided into three. Although no matter which one of the three Ming Dynasties was taken out, it was a hegemon-level existence for other countries, but it was still divided internally, which would give many people or forces with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of it!

This is also the reason why the three Ming Dynasties have declined one after another in the past three hundred years!

If Zhu Zhiqin hadn't rebelled and became emperor, and powerfully unified the Ming Dynasty, maybe the Ming Dynasty would have been completely destroyed!
This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang admires and is so satisfied with Zhu Zhiqin, a younger generation.

This boy's achievements can be ranked in front of him, second only to Lao Jiu, and Zhu Yuanzhang himself feels that there is nothing wrong with him!

Soon, the news broadcast was finally over.

Zhu Xifeng started clamoring again to go out and experience the nightlife in Shuntian City today, and wanted to compare the differences in modern society!

However, the nightlife of this period is definitely incomparable to modern society!

But it’s better than nothing, right?
(Dividing line!)
