The feudal lord is on Taobao every day

In this era, the transportation is underdeveloped, so that the information is very blocked, and the people are small farmers who are self-sufficient. As long as it is not a troubled time or a catastrophe year, they will only spend their whole life in circles on their own one-acre three-point land. Any news about the government is passed down layer by layer by the people in the government.

If you meet kind-hearted parents and officials, it's okay, but if you meet corrupt officials who use power for personal gain to seek the people's favor and anointment, then life is really miserable.

Don't look at Xie Jingan promulgating the field opening order before he went north, which seems to have been implemented very well. In fact, everyone from Xie Jingan down to Wei Changshi, who presided over this matter, knew it well. profit.

If there is a channel that can pass on Xie Jingan's decree without any discount, this situation will undoubtedly be reduced a lot, the life of the people will be better and better, and his reputation will be higher and higher. Formed a cohesive force and appeal in the fiefdom.

Only when he has a strong control over the fief, can all the government orders proposed can be fully implemented without hindrance, and whoever speaks to the hearts of the people will win the world. He doesn't want to be an emperor, but only hopes that the fief can let the people under his governance Live and work in peace and contentment without suffering from wars.

So Xie Jingan thought about it and decided that the newspaper office should be opened early. Although he was still poor in the hands of the fief, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as he can develop business smoothly and have a steady stream of benefits, then what idea will come true? It's just a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Xie Jing'an didn't plan to wait any longer. Talents were rare, and it was hard for a public opinion talent to vote for him. If he was left idle, it would be a waste of money.

Xie Jing'an immediately ordered Cui Tong to let him invite the old man.

Cui Tong was very happy that the talent he recommended was reused by Xie Jingan, he responded excitedly, and went out to lead the old man to the study in person.

The old man is indeed as old as Cui Tong said, with gray hair and wrinkled face, but fortunately, his body is still strong and his eyes are very clear. Otherwise, no matter how hardworking Xie Jingan is, he would not dare to put such a heavy burden on him On an old man who should take care of his life.

The old man never thought that he would be summoned by Xie Jingan so soon, so he was quite nervous, his manners were quite satisfactory, but his expression was very panicked.

Seeing this, Xie Jing'an couldn't get straight to the point, so he had to say something homely to appease the old man first.

Xie Jing'an smiled and said: "I see that the old man speaks in a clear and orderly way, and he has a good pace of advance and retreat, but has he ever been to school?"

Seeing Xie Jingan's friendly smile and gentle voice, the old man relaxed his nervous heart a bit, but he still said a little nervously: "Reporting to Your Highness, Cao Min's family was quite rich when he was young, so he studied under a gentleman for several years. "

Hearing that his family was quite rich when he was young, Xie Jingan understood, and did not continue to ask, but instead asked: "What does the old man do for a living now? Where is his family?"

The old man said: "Return to Your Highness, Caomin's family lives in Niujiao Village. There are dozens of acres of Susukida in their family. Although the output is not much, it is enough to feed the hunger, and there is still some surplus food every year."

Hearing the old man say that there is still a surplus of food in the family, Xie Jing couldn't help being a little surprised, and his evaluation of the old man was a bit higher, saying: "The king's rule is mostly barren land, and the old man can still have a surplus of food every year. It can be seen that he is good at management, but I don't know who else is in the old man's family, but if he is doing business for the king, is there someone in the family who tends the fields?"

Hearing that Xie Jingan intends to invite him to work in the palace, the old man's heart fluttered, he was so excited that he even forgot his nervousness, and said again and again: "Returning to Your Highness, Caomin has five children, all of whom are married, and the grandchildren are also here to talk about marriage Age, even if there are only one grassroots person in the family, it will not affect the livelihood of the family."

Hearing the old man's answer, Xie Jing'an had an idea in his mind, and he stopped beating around the bush, and went straight to the point, "That's good, then I have an errand that I would like to ask the old man, would the old man be willing?"

"Yes, yes," Xie Jing'an finished speaking, the old man said excitedly, "Cao Min is fortunate enough to work for His Highness, it is really a meritorious deed from Cao Min's ancestors, but Cao Min is afraid that his lack of knowledge may miss His Highness's important event."

"That's okay," Xie Jing'an said with a smile, "I already know a thing or two about the ability of the old man to be eloquent through my attendants. If there are other errands, the old man may be lacking, but this errand must belong to the old man. In the name of organizing a newspaper, the old man will preside over the newspaper in the future, and the newspaper will be directly under the jurisdiction of the king. No matter there are any obstacles in the future, the old man will directly report to the king."

newspaper?Hearing this unfamiliar word, the old man was stunned for a moment, then bowed in fear, "Forgive me for my short-sightedness, I don't know what your Highness is talking about about the newspaper?"

Xie Jing'an explained: "This newspaper office is not an object, but an office organized by this king that specializes in producing and distributing newspapers."

Before the old man could ask what the newspaper was, Xie Jingan continued: "This newspaper is analogous to books, but it is different from books. It does not publish stories and articles, but specially prints the government orders promulgated by the king. It is a major event in the thirteen prefectures under the rule, and this newspaper is not only for literati to read, but mainly for the people under the king's rule, so that they can know the big and small matters of the king's fiefdom even if they don't travel far."

After listening to Xie Jingan's explanation, the old man opened his mouth wide in surprise and was speechless for a long time. After a long while, he bowed to the end with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness's act is truly a great kindness. His benevolent act alone is enough to be recorded in the annals of history."

Xie Jing'an had known for a long time how much shock the publication of the newspaper would cause in this era, so he didn't show any excitement when he heard the old man's praise, and said in a calm voice: "I don't want to mention whether it will be included in the annals of history. After the newspaper office was established, after listening to what the king said just now, the old man has a charter in his heart?"

Seeing Xie Jingan's indifference, the old man was very surprised. Perhaps because of the influence of Xie Jingan's emotions, the old man quickly calmed down. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Your Highness just said very clearly. The grassroots already have a rough plan in their minds. The newspaper office is unprecedented, and the grassroots dare not boast about it, but only dare to say that it will be tried.”

Seeing that the old man was not dazzled by the matter of running a newspaper office, and his words were still cautious, Xie Jingan couldn't help being more and more satisfied with the old man, nodded and said: "It's okay, this king entrusted it to you, you can try it boldly, if there is If you don't understand, just come to me, whether you want people or things, I will do my best to satisfy you, but there is one thing, the newspaper should be established as soon as possible, and I don't force you, as long as it is in the New Year's Eve Just read the first issue of the newspaper before."

Just before hearing the New Year's Eve, the old man was about to heave a sigh of relief, but then thought that it was already almost November, so full of calculations, and only three months left, his heart shuddered, and his scalp felt tense. Almost gritted his teeth and agreed.
