Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 92 The First Newspaper

Chapter 120 The First Newspaper

In addition to the food problem, there is also the Qianzhou renovation project.

At present, except for the city walls, all the renovations in Qianzhou have been completed, and the people in Qianzhou have all lived in small modern buildings.

In addition, the Qianzhou army also began to step up training and began to expand the number of recruits.

And after seeing the power of the Desert Eagle last time, Li Chengqian also started asking people to collect resources and speed up the production of bullets.

But unfortunately, there are too many things consumed in the bullet, and those things are not easy to find, so there is no progress until now.

This is not possible. After the first battle in Jiaozhou, Li Chengqian knew that these external forces were also very important, and it could reduce many unnecessary casualties.

But now, he hasn't found a suitable weapon to replace it.

...

Chen Sangou is 16 years old and is from Chenjia Village, Yuanling, Chenzhou.

As long as he can remember, his father has been a tenant of the Xie family.

There are four men in Chen Sangou's family, so they have a total of [-] mu of land.

It was no problem to support themselves, but the family's [-] mu of land was cheated by the Xie family, so they worked desperately every year, but they could barely make ends meet.

The famine last year resulted in no crops, so accordingly, Chen Sangou had no food to eat.

When he was sad, he could only pick up the discarded swill of Xie's family. Although it smelled bad, it could keep him alive.

Almost every day, Chen Sangou was hungry.

Originally, Chen Sangou thought that he might have to spend the rest of his life hungry, but he didn't expect that when he was desperate, a shocking news came suddenly.

The Xie family is down!

The Xie family, which brought disaster to Qianzhou, was uprooted by the big shot from Chang'an.

And, with the help of that big shot, the land that was taken away by the Xie family returned to them.

Moreover, Qianzhou also issued a decree that the wasteland reclaimed by the people will be their own, and they only need to register with the Qianzhou Governor's Mansion, and no one will be able to take it away.

Chen Sangou didn't understand these big principles. He only knew that with land, he would not starve.

Later, Lizheng from the village found his house again and said a word that Chen Sangou had never heard before.

Village interconnected cooperatives!
Chen Sangou didn't know exactly what it was, but Cong Lizheng told him that as long as he joined the cooperative, he would be able to share the cattle and farm tools for farming.

The first time he divided the land, he got [-] mu, not much, but the process was very easy.

One day, Chen Sangou was working in the field. At this time, his elder brother Chen Dagou and second brother Chen Ergou ran over and said to him, "Little San, a newspaper boy came from Qianzhou, and Li is asking us to go to the village to meet him." !"

"Newsboy? What is a newsboy?" Chen Sangou asked curiously.

"You don't care, I heard that the newspaper boy was sent by His Royal Highness King Qian, it's amazing!" Chen Dagou looked adoring.

"His Royal Highness King Qian, that's a big shot, let's go and have a look!"

As Chen Sangou said this, he put down the farm tools, and then the three brothers ran towards the village.

Called by Lizheng of Chenjia Village, more than 300 people gathered at the head of the village, each of them was looking forward to it, whispering to each other, not knowing what Lizheng called them to come.

Soon, a young man came running on horseback, got off his horse when he walked in front of the inside, and then he took something like a notice and pasted it on the wall at the head of the village.

"Sir, what is this?" Li Zheng walked to the young man tremblingly on crutches.

The young man said quickly: "Li Zheng, I am a newsboy, and I am responsible for delivering newspapers."

"Newspaper? What is it?" Li Zheng continued to ask.

The young man explained: "All important government affairs announcements in Qianzhou will be written in this newspaper and then sent to various villages, so that everyone can learn about Qianzhou's affairs even if they don't go to Qianzhou!"

Yes, you heard it right, newspapers did appear in Datang.

And Li Chengqian is the one who invented the newspaper!
At the beginning, he signed up fifty calligraphers, fifty painters and fifty writers.

Originally, he was still thinking about what these people should be used for, but after the battle in Jiaozhou, he finally figured it out!
Qianzhou governs nine states, but due to inconvenient transportation, other people in Qianzhou cannot know about any new things in Qianzhou at the first time.

And they can't come to Qianzhou every day to check, so the people's news is blocked.

Just like Li Chengqian opened a political inquiry box at the gate of King Qian's Mansion before, but very few people can use it.

Why... It's because people in other states and counties don't even know about it.

Therefore, in order to spread the news to the people faster, Li Chengqian recruited painters, calligraphers and writers, and then opened a Qianzhou Daily.

As for the newsboys, they were recruited from among the common people, with a monthly salary of [-] Wen, food and so on.

With a lot of rewards, there must be a brave man, not to mention that Li Chengqian is already omnipotent in the hearts of the people, so if he wants to recruit people for help, the people must sign up enthusiastically.

In the end, thousands of newsboys were recruited, and after simple training, they were asked to deliver Datang's first newspaper!
After some explanations, the people understood almost everything, and the young man continued: "My name is Zhu Liu, and I will be responsible for delivering newspapers to Chenjia Village in the future. I hope everyone will not dislike it!"

After the simple greetings, Zhu Liu began to read today's headlines.

The first is the bumper grain harvest in Qianzhou. Under the wise leadership of His Royal Highness King Qianzhou, the grain in Qianzhou has reached an astonishing [-] catties per mu!

The second is that with the efforts of the people to open up wasteland, the fields in Qianzhou have reached an astonishing 480 million mu.

The third article is the news of military recruitment, encouraging qualified people to join the army, so that they can not only protect their families and country, but also receive generous benefits.

People are also encouraged to do business and trade, and Qianzhou will open the door to convenience. As long as they are good people, they can do business in Qianzhou and they will never be given any additional taxes.

After Zhu Liu finished reading the newspaper, he said: "From now on, I will post the newspaper on the head of the village every day. Please ask, who among you can read?"

If no one answers, then no one will.

Zhu Liu sighed and said, "Okay, after I deliver the newspaper every day, I will tell you about it first, and then you can tell it to others."

"Thank you, my lord..."

After hearing Zhu Liu's words, the villagers immediately began to be grateful.

Zhu Liu grinned and said: "If you have any dissatisfaction with His Highness King Qian, you can also say so. Don't worry, His Highness King Qian will definitely accept it with humility."

"Where there is nothing, His Highness cares about the common people, but he is a rare good person!"

"That is, if it weren't for him, we might starve to death!"

"Um…"

Hearing the words of the people, Zhu Liu smiled even more.

"Okay, that's it for today's newspaper. I'll deliver the letter tomorrow!"

As Zhu Liu said, he got on his horse again and left quickly.

...

In just a few days, Qianzhou Daily has radiated to Kyushu under the jurisdiction of Qianzhou, as well as various villages.

Li Chengqian was also a little happy after hearing the news.

He made this newspaper not only to let the common people understand the information faster, but more importantly, to establish his own image in the hearts of the common people!
After the newspaper connection, Li Chengqian seemed to have entered the hearts of the people from an illusory person, allowing them to understand Li Chengqian better, and at the same time, they also respected him more...
