I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 167 Make money! Kneeling, not shabby! Right, Uncle Li!
  And after Liu Chan agreed, Jiang Wan's actions became legal.

It was getting brighter, Li Heng walked out of the palace, and cicadas chirped around him.

Chengdu in midsummer is unbearably hot.

But Li Heng was in a particularly relaxed mood. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, got on his horse, and returned to Taifu Temple.

Not long after, Jiang Binsi brought a newspaper and said, "Mr. Lang, this is the newspaper you want."

"Thank you." Li Heng took it, "By the way, are there many people buying it?"

"More!" Jiang Binsi immediately became excited, "I heard that the children selling newspapers quickly sold out the newspapers, and they all went back to get them. The manpower of copying newspapers can't keep up."

"Where's the person who said the revenge?"

"It's enough, everything has been arranged." Jiang Binsi said, but he was a little confused, "Many people are illiterate, so they can only rely on people to tell newspapers. Those who buy are literate, but after all, they are only a minority. We are selling newspapers like this. Those who lose money don’t make money, so why?”

"This little money is nothing." Li Heng said with a smile, "The most important thing is to let everyone know the imperial decree."

This is called the right of public opinion.

In ancient political power, there were two most important points: the first was military power; the second was the power of public opinion.

In layman's terms, a gun barrel and a pen barrel.

In ancient times, military power was in the hands of the imperial court, but the power of public opinion was in the hands of aristocratic families or landlords.

As soon as Li Heng's trick came out, he was actually seizing the high ground of public opinion.

Of course, this matter can only be done in the capital at present, and there is no way to spread it to other places.

Because there are several key issues involved here:

[-]. The issue of newspaper printing is a productivity issue.

[-]. Management issues. After a new thing comes out, if it is useful, many people will definitely use it.

Li Heng used this method to expand the influence of public opinion, and local aristocratic families can also use it to expand the influence of public opinion.

However, relatively speaking, the impact of Li Heng's expansion is greater.

But if local public opinion can be expanded, rebellion will be easier.

Aristocratic families can even affect the perception of the registered household population.

Ultimately, this matter needs to be more tightly controlled.

Li Heng immediately picked up his pen and started writing a memorial.

This is a memorial to Liu Chan to establish the Dahan General Newspaper Office.

At the same time, even the "Dahan Newspaper Management Regulations" were also written.

There is a core point in the "Dahan Newspaper Management Regulations": the opening of a newspaper needs the permission of the General Newspaper Office and a permission document. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a violation of the regulations, starting from three years, and in severe cases, execution will be punished.

After writing it, he ordered it to be sent to the palace.

In the morning, Ma Yong hurried back to Taifu Temple.

"Lang Jun."

"how?"

"A lot of people are talking about it! Some big families have bought newspapers."

"What I focus on is their attitude."

“Some people are still lashing out.”

"What are you blaming?"

"Rebuke..."

"You can say it anyway."

"I denounce Mr. Lang as a traitor!"

Li Heng laughed: "The more they scold me, the more correct I am! Where are some of the others?"

"There are still some people who are very gentle in their comments, and some even praise Mr. Lang."

"That's right. After all, we have clearly written the accounts of Li Fu's money in the newspaper. I don't believe they won't be jealous after seeing it! More people will come to Nashang Company soon!"

In the afternoon, Du Zhen hurried into his home.

"Father!"

Du Qiong, the admonishing doctor, asked hurriedly: "Have you bought it?"

"I bought it!" Du Zhen handed over the newspaper.

Du Qiong took it and looked at it quickly, his brows furrowing more and more.

"Nonsense!" Du Qiong said angrily, "How can Qiao Yunnan be the spy of the Wei State? Li Heng, a traitorous minister who has brought harm to the country! I will definitely impeach him!"

"Father, I'm afraid this matter is a bit difficult."

"He has behaved so recklessly. Don't say that I want to impeach him. If this matter reaches the Prime Minister, he will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the court."

"You should read the next article first."

"Next article?" Du Qiong was stunned for a moment and immediately flipped to the next article.

The next article is about the profit and loss of Jiangzhou Paper Mill.

"What! An income of ten thousand shi a month!" Du Qiong almost shouted.

"Yes."

Du Qiong stood blankly on the spot, staring at the numbers on the newspaper, his hands shaking a few times.

Immediately, he recovered from the shock.

"What does Li Jian want from publishing this matter in the newspaper?"

"The intention couldn't be more obvious." Du Zhen said, "He is telling everyone that you can make a lot of money by following him!"

Du Qiong's face was extremely gloomy.

"This is a naked bribery!"

"I'm afraid it doesn't count. The "Dahan Trading Company Management Regulations" were approved by His Majesty and are legal."

Du Qiong suddenly realized that this was the reason why Li Heng promulgated the "Regulations on the Management of Dahan Commercial Companies".

"Father, it has been rumored that Taifu Temple makes a lot of money, and many local families have sent people to the capital. I am afraid that more families will send people, and some famous families will not be able to help sending people. Should we go talk to him first?"

"Looking for Li Heng?"

"Yes."

"Now that he has dug such a big hole, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many people. If we are so eager to take sides, aren't we digging a hole for ourselves?"

Du Zhen was speechless for a moment, what his father said made sense.

The situation is now in chaos and no one can see clearly how it will develop.

The most important thing is that Li Heng made the matter too big, which caused the anger of quite a few people.

Du Qiong is a well-known conservative in Yizhou.

"Observe first. If necessary, if Li Jian is dismissed, I will find a way to get Taifu Temple."

"Here!"

In the following days, newspapers began to exert unprecedented influence in the capital.

In this era where there are no televisions, computers, mobile phones, or even cars or bicycles.

The transfer of information is very slow.

But suddenly a newspaper appeared. The newspaper quickly gathered the information to the reporters, and then quickly processed it again and poured it into the ears of ordinary people.

For the first time, there was an abnormal flow of information in and around Chengdu.

What consequences does this have?

Many people are excited!

It's okay for civilians. After all, they have little knowledge and have little key information about the operation of society. It is impossible for their brains to reach key points immediately.

But the powerful man from a wealthy family was attracted by Li Fu's financial report and his mouth watered.

Ten thousand stone a month?

The annual harvest from one acre of land in Chengdu is only a little more than one stone.

Ten thousand shi is equivalent to a year's harvest of [-] acres of land.

That's it?

What a shitty field to plant!
  Li Langjun!
  Oh no!

Li Caishen!
  The little one is here to hold your thigh!

From now on, the villain will only look after you!

Strangely enough, on June [-], the third day after the Capital University case occurred, countless officials in the capital impeached Li Heng.

Liu Chan's face was filled with scolding words for Li Heng.

What a shameless thief!
  What a traitor to the country!
  What an executioner butcher!

What a common man!
  What an inhuman thing!

Wait, all the bad words of this era are written on it.

However, after the newspaper's influence spread, around the [-]th, Liu Chan received another batch of memorials.

A series of memorials denounced Qiao Zhou and others for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

The memorial uses one-third of the text to scold Qiao Zhou and others, and two-thirds of the text to praise our Li Shangshu for his wisdom, wisdom, loyalty, selflessness, benevolence, friendliness, awe-inspiring righteousness, and fearless spirit of loyalty to the emperor and the country.

In short, we have never seen a talented person like Li Jian.

His appearance gave all of us hope in life!
