Chapter 1067 Public Opinion [Ask for votes]
Fang Jun snorted and asked, "How much compensation does the Yuan family plan to pay?"
Dugu Cheng was overjoyed, thinking that Fang Jun was loose, so he said: "One stone of corn, one bolt of silk, and five hundred copper coins."
"Haha, haha..."
Fang Jun looked up to the sky and laughed so hard that tears flowed out.
Dugu Cheng was startled and looked confused.
What's wrong with this guy?
Fang Jun burst into laughter, which made the servants and maids in the hall tremble with fear. Could it be that Erlang was going to get angry?
After a while, Fang Jun stopped laughing and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. His voice was slightly hoarse. He held the blood-stained paper in his hand, imagining that Ding's father-in-law would crash to death in Jingzhao out of despair. The tragedy in front of the mansion, imagining the Ding family The old woman was so desolate and helpless that she cried her eyes out. She imagined that the two beautiful sisters of the Ding family were killed and buried alive. What kind of despair and fear she felt when she was dying, and what happened to the Yuan family's servants. The cruelty and viciousness...
For a long time, Fang Jun raised his eyes expressionlessly, looked at Dugu Cheng, and said word by word: "Go back and tell Mr. Yuan that you can forgive God's sins, but you can't live with your own sins! In this case, Jingzhao Mansion will Go all out to detect, if If it is confirmed that the matter is indeed as described in the petition, I will personally recover this blood debt for the Ding family! Even if the Yuan family is a pillar of the Four Dynasties and a thousand-year-old family, I will abide by the national law and punish him severely!"< br>
Traveling from an era that placed great emphasis on life to the Tang Dynasty where the lives of untouchables were as trivial as a piece of cake, Fang Jun's world view and outlook on life received an unparalleled impact!
He is not a saint or a wise man. He will follow the crowd and do such crazy things as annihilating the entire Lu family. His bottom line is also being corroded and changed bit by bit by this era, but he cannot imagine how an empire that does not value life can be long-lasting, how it can satisfy people's aspirations, and how it can open up the world!
Three lives are worth one stone of corn, one bolt of silk, and five hundred dollars?
Very good, he wants to make the Yuan family pay the price and let them know that the value of human life is not so cheap, even if it is just a slave and a lowly person!
Dugu Cheng smiled bitterly.
He knew that Fang Erbangchu would never bow to Yuanshi, and the price offered by Yuanshi was even more insulting.
It's not an insult to the Ding family. Such a pariah is not even qualified to bear the insult of the Yuan family. It is Fang Jun who is insulted!
After all, Yuan still never took Fang Jun seriously...
"Fu Yin, this matter..."
Dugu Cheng wanted to persuade him a few words, but was interrupted by Fang Jun as soon as he started speaking.
Fang Jun had a cold face and gritted his teeth: "The Tang Dynasty has been established for a long time, and now it is prosperous and prosperous. Every progress and every bit of strength of the Tang Dynasty requires countless people of the Tang Dynasty. Go hard, go struggle, go create! And in such a time when everyone is working together to create an unprecedented prosperous era, there are still people who dare to take human lives and hinder His Majesty's achievement of eternal supremacy. What do they want to do? Do they want to subvert the Tang Dynasty, or do they want to take revenge on Your Majesty? "
Dugu Cheng was stunned.
Can you still say that?
He finally knew where the gap between himself and Fang Jun was. Fang Jun was better than him in that he could connect two unrelated things in a logical way, giving people a sense of justice. The feeling of what it should be.
But can the matter of sacrificial burial subvert the Tang Dynasty?
Can it hinder His Majesty from achieving eternal hegemony?
Isn’t this nonsense...
Even if all the nobles in the world were buried alive after death, how many people could be killed?
*****
As soon as Dugu Cheng left, Fang Jun entered the palace in a carriage and asked to see His Majesty Li Er.
"Establish an agency to control public opinion and publish newspapers in Jingzhao Mansion?"
His Majesty Li Er knitted his eyebrows and looked at the son-in-law in front of him who seemed to be unwilling to calm down for a moment and would always come up with some fantastic ideas from time to time.
It's a bit sad...
It is true that he hopes that Fang Jun can stand at the front desk and directly confront the Guanlong Group, but Fang Jun is also a restless boy, and he will always create some unexpected situations that catch him off guard.
"What is a newspaper?"
His Majesty Li Er asked again.
In the opinion of His Majesty Li Er, Fang Jun's thinking is too unconstrained. Many of his ideas may seem simple, but in fact they are full of hidden mysteries. Unexpected consequences can often be achieved through simple and unpretentious methods. Without thinking about it, His Majesty Li Er is neither Dare to refuse easily, let alone agree casually.
"It's something like a newspaper, with similar effects."
Fang Jun replied.
His Majesty Li Er became increasingly puzzled: "Since we already have the Di newspaper, what's the use of your so-called newspaper?"
Public opinion management has existed since ancient times.
During the Han and Tang dynasties, the official newspaper was basically dominated by one family. The "Di Bao" of the Western Han Dynasty was probably China's earliest paper media with the function of carrying information. In the Sui Dynasty, it was called "fan tiao". For example, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty commended Gongsun Jingmao, the governor of Daozhou, and gave him the "fan tiao". Official newspapers in the Tang and Song Dynasties had many names, such as "Di Li Zheng", "Jin Zou Yuan Zhi Bao", "Chao Bao" and so on.
Generally speaking, the content of ancient official newspapers was very simple, covering the emperor's travels, sacrifices, edicts, appointment and dismissal of officials, and matters of princes and ministers.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were two different carriers: "Di Bao" and "Jin Zou Yuan Bao". The former was run by the imperial court, while the latter was compiled privately by the local state office in Beijing. In other words, the latter has the characteristics of simple information selection and voyeurism. It's just that this model of "reporting to the imperial court" would not appear until the Kaiyuan period...
Fang Jun explained: "The Di Bao is an official publication. The things recorded are all major events such as worshiping the ancestors of heaven, appointment and dismissal of officials, appointment and dismissal of royal titles, etc. It is the mouthpiece of His Majesty. It is as steady as a mountain and cannot be frivolous in the slightest. A humble minister The newspaper you want to start is different. The content published and published may be leaked from the Taiwan government, plagiarism from the market, or the fabrication of opinions. ”
His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "Isn't it nonsense and confusing the public?"
"How can this be nonsense? Just like the newspaper, the task of the newspaper is to open the eyes of His Majesty and inform the people of His Majesty's wishes. Say what Your Majesty wants to say and think what Your Majesty thinks, so that the public opinion of the world can be freely determined. Your Majesty is in control!”
"Oh? If so, you can give it a try..."
His Majesty Li Er thought it was good, but he looked at Fang Jun suspiciously, always feeling a little uneasy in his heart, and asked: "What are your plans?"
Fang Jun pondered for a moment and told the story of the Yuan family burying the Ding family's two daughters.
His Majesty Li Er remained silent.
anger?
It's definitely there, but it's definitely not serious. It's not that His Majesty Li Er is cold-blooded, but that such things as burial have existed since ancient times. Although the "Zhenguan Code" explicitly prohibits any form of burial ceremony for living people, how can the customs that have been passed down for thousands of years be easily changed with just one law?
Moreover, once you target the Yuan family, you will challenge all the noble families in the world!
His Majesty Li Er wanted to eliminate the family members, but he never thought of such a direct confrontation.
In a word, the overall situation is the most important thing!
Fang Jun obviously saw His Majesty Li Er's hesitation and could understand His Majesty Li Er's feelings. After all, he is an emperor who grew up among aristocratic families. No matter how open-minded he is, he will inevitably be contaminated by the bad habits of aristocratic families...
"How many illnesses, accidents, and hardships does a person have to go through from birth to adulthood? How much effort does it take to be a parent? Everyone looks forward to their children with the most sincere love. After they grow up, men A woman can marry a good family and have a happy life. , who would want their children to be sacrificed for burial? At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos. The three expeditions to Goguryeo were defeated, and the bones of the Han family were piled up in the mountains and rivers of Liaodong. The thirty-six rebels were fighting in the Central Plains. , how many sons were stained with blood on the battlefield, and how many heroes were buried in foreign lands at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty? There are countless magnificent mountains and rivers in our territory, but only a few million people. Isn’t it true that every time His Majesty worships the heaven, he sincerely prays that the people of the world will prosper, the livestock will multiply, and the population of the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous enough to cut off the flow of water? What are those aristocratic families doing? They are burying people alive! This is not only a waste of human life, but also It is a disaster for the country and the people! If the trend of burial is not eliminated, how can the Tang Dynasty be strong for centuries? How can the empire rule the world?" Fang Jun was impassioned. At this moment, he was not fighting alone, as if Hitler was in the Munich pub and Washington was about to be sworn in. Napoleon, who was exiled to St. Helena Island... was possessed by all souls!
