Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 462 Preparing for the Public Opinion War (Thanks to Bo Da for the monthly ticket)
"Increase production?" Anduin was a little confused:

"My lord, although we only have eight papermaking workshops, these eight workshops can already produce enough toilet paper, textbooks, novels, and playing cards, and there is no problem with exporting them. I don't think we need to expand production for the time being, right? "

"No, no." Sean stretched out his index finger and shook it lightly:

"We also need to quickly establish newspaper offices in Jon City and Kapoor Port, and take advantage of this great opportunity to dominate public opinion, which is crucial to our future development."

"Dominance of public opinion?" Hearing what Xiao En said, Anduin seemed to understand something.

"That's right, it is the dominance of public opinion." Sean emphasized: "Don't underestimate the media headed by the newspaper, the newspaper is an extremely powerful weapon of war hidden in the dark!

There is an old saying called 'a lie that is repeated 100 times becomes the truth. '

People have the habit of believing in authority.When the media, headed by newspapers, explains to the public what the world is like, the public will subconsciously choose to believe it, even if what the media says may be false.

In this way, the judgments made by the people, the decisions made by the people, and the code of conduct are basically determined by the media. "

The reason why Sean pays so much attention to public opinion is because he was so impressed with the information warfare of public opinion in his previous life!
Eisen Howell, the former great chief of the United States, once said: "A dollar for foreign propaganda is equal to five dollars for national defense."

In 1945, 57% of Mao people believed that Da Mao was the most responsible person for winning the Second World War. By 2015, this proportion had dropped to 23%.

This is the power of the war of public opinion. You can gain a huge advantage without bloodshed, and even tamper with history.

……

Sean and the two walked to the entrance of the administrative hall in the town center while talking.

Anduin waved goodbye to Sean: "Goodbye, sir. During this period, I will increase paper production as soon as possible and organize the newspaper office and bank."

"Goodbye Anduin, thank you for your hard work!"

Sean bid farewell to Anduin, and then returned to Kapoor Port through the portal to continue preparing for the war with the Kingdom of Anjou.

Just when Sean returned to Kapoor Port, the capital of Anjou, which is 887 kilometers away from Kapoor Port.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Matthew was wearing an ordinary mercenary leather armor and was sitting in a huge, resplendent and magnificent palace.

This palace is the royal palace of the Anjou Kingdom and Matthew's home.

Matthew has been away from Kingdom Three for 40 years, and has only returned home less than ten times in total.

Therefore, none of the waiters in the palace knew the legendary eldest prince, and they kept looking at the crude leather armor on his body.

To be honest, this set of simple leather armor, which is not even considered magic equipment, really does not match this magnificent palace.It's like an extra piece of brown bread in a fine steak set.

Matthew ignored the waiters, crossed his legs, and took out the hardcover playing cards that Sean gave him from the interspatial ring, and made up three phantoms in his mind to play cards with himself.

After a while, a luxuriously dressed eunuch chief oh no, it was the head of the waiters who came to Matthew and bowed to Matthew: "Your Highness, Your Majesty welcomes you."

"Hehe, my father is finally willing to see me." Matthew smiled and stood up from the bench: "I've been waiting for almost a week. Has the old man finally found time?"

"Ah, that's not the case." The leader of the waiter hastily explained: "Recently, His Majesty is practicing in seclusion, and he said that he has not seen anyone, so..."

"Okay, you don't need to explain, I know my father better than you." Matthew interrupted the leader of the waiters expressionlessly: "Lead the way!"

"Okay, Your Royal Highness." The chief waiter made a gesture of "please" and led Matthew to walk inward.

The Anjou Palace is the largest building complex in the Anjou Kingdom. It is very deep and the layout of the houses is also patchwork.

After walking for about 5 minutes, the leader of the waiters stopped in front of a small palace with Matthew.

Matthew was very familiar with this palace, which was his father's living room.

After the cabinet meetings in the past, my father always liked to stay here and review documents quietly.

Seeing that the leader of the waiters wanted to go in with him, Matthew patted the leader of the waiters on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go here, I can go in alone."

"Okay, Your Highness." The leader of the waiters immediately stopped and replied with a low eyebrow.

Matthew walked into his father's living room alone with a look of nostalgia.

In the living room, his father, Charlie Iris, was sitting at the desk, writing something with a brush on paper.

The warm sunlight came in from the window in front of the desk and shone on the father, leaving only a not-so-majestic shadow on the ground.

"Father." Matthew knelt down on one knee towards his father.

"It's Matthew!"

Seeing that his son was coming, King Anjou's originally frowning brows relaxed:
"Quick, sit down! You won't come back once in these few years."

Charlie Iris stood up and moved the chair for Matthew himself. At this time, he no longer had the aggressive posture in the cabinet meeting, and now he was more like an amiable old father.

"Father, let me do it." Matthew took the stool in his father's hand, and most of the resentment that he had not been received by his father for more than a week just now disappeared.

Indeed, it is not easy for a father!
……

When Matthew sat down across from him, Charlie Iris stared at him for a while, and then said slowly:
"Matthew, I'm sorry that it took a week to meet you. During this period of time, the Sunflower Principality is fighting urgently, and the Plantagenet Empire is also putting a lot of pressure on it. I stay in the military headquarters all year round. It was just yesterday afternoon. return."

"It's okay, I don't blame you. Is there a lot of pressure on the Plantagenet Empire? What happened to them again?" Matthew asked worriedly.

"The Plantagenet Empire. Forget it, I won't tell you this kind of thing, so as not to upset you. By the way, I heard from others that the little girl from the Shancha family, Kate Shancha, is your own daughter. Is this true? Is it?" King Anjou began to change the subject.

"Uh, it's true. The Great Elf King personally gave me and Kate an appraisal."

Hearing his father mention this matter, even though he is already in his 70s, Matthew still feels very embarrassed.

"It's okay, bring her back and show me someday!" Anru Kingdom laughed.

After a long chat, they finally got down to business.

"Matthew, the last time you came back to report to me about the Elven Kingdom and your ambush, why did you come back this time? Just for the letter from Sean Violet?"

"That's right, it's because of that letter." Matthew nodded, "If it wasn't for that letter, I wouldn't have returned to the capital easily." Matthew replied.
