Chapter 468 Publication Review
“Sneeze!”
Paul suddenly sneezed loudly, surprising everyone present.
He said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, everyone, I don't know which beauty is secretly missing me."
"Haha!"
The lord's joke made everyone laugh.
Paul suddenly stopped laughing.
"Okay, now raise your head."
Paul geared up and looked at the trembling and trembling person in front of him.
Sam Russo was swaying all over, and Richie, who used all his strength, forced his neck to lift his head upwards.
Slowly, the person who could decide his fate with one word came into view.
Beside him, there are other people - Mr. Ford, the general manager of the Government Council, Mr. Hayden, the director of the Department of Public Security, Mr. Cecil, the director of the Intelligence Department, and Mr. Thomas, the chief judge of the Lord's Court.
Oh my God! Is what I committed so serious? So many big names are gathered here.
Sam Russo, the owner of a printing house, was suddenly knocked on the door by the police three days ago and was then thrown into a cell.
He was a refugee who came to Alda a few years ago. When he first arrived, the printing industry was just emerging in Alda due to the invention of the printing press. The literate Sam Russo worked at the official printing office of the Government Council. I found a job as a typesetter in the factory. Sam's mind was very flexible, and it didn't take long for him to master printing-related technologies very proficiently.
Later, printing presses began to be opened to the public for sale, and the Government Administration began to increase investment in culture and education.
Sam saw the opportunity and asked his friends to pool money to buy several printing machines and start his own printing factory.
In the following years, his small factory grew bigger and bigger, and as the boss, Sam also successfully became one of the rich.
On the day when his career was booming, a hugely profitable business happened to him.
Several Jiaowan customers approached him, and they were all regular customers. Sam's printing house received many orders from them, but in the past, they only wanted to print books such as novels and poems. However, this time it was a banned book.
Specifically, it is the banned book in Kakuwan, which is full of black material about Kakuwan Church, some in Kakuwan language and Aldo language.
The client asked Sam to help them print this book. The price is negotiable.
Sam was reluctant at first. Although the religious atmosphere in the Northwest Bay was very relaxed, he didn't want to get himself into any trouble.
However, the money they gave was too much. It was so much that Sam was sure that if he rejected the business, he would think about it from time to time in the future and repeatedly ask himself, "What if I had accepted this business in the first place?" How much money can you make from a single business?”
Sam, who did not want to undergo soul torture every day for the rest of his life, was forced to take over the business.
Then I couldn't stop the car.
After the first batch of books were transported to Jiaowan, customer feedback was very good.
So the second batch, the third batch...
Sam's initial doubts disappeared amid the clanking and collision of silver coins.
He has been convinced by himself. If there is no prohibition by law, there is freedom. There is no law in the lord that prohibits the printing of books attacking the Corner Bay Church. Besides, the book contains black material about the Corner Bay Church. , Northwest Bay Church is thousands of miles away from Bay Church.
Until one day, two uniformed men - police officers - knocked on Sam's office door.
Things were exposed.
After spending three uneasy days in the cell, Sam was brought before Paul Gleiman, Lord of Arda.
"Sam, Sam, you really embarrassed me in front of the church."
Paul said to the printing plant owner in a bad tone.
"Wise Lord, I...I don't dare anymore."
Sam's legs softened and he knelt on the ground. The sadness in his voice made people feel pitiful.
“I will definitely donate more money to the church in the future to cleanse myself of the sins I have committed against the Lord of Light.”
Paul: “Well… that’s not necessary.”
< br>"It's over? Am I going to be burned to death or hanged?" Poor Sam Russo collapsed on the ground and cried loudly.
Seeing the printing factory owner like this, Paul was speechless for a moment. Is this man so unintimidated?
Things have been clarified. The printing house that printed this book is not owned by the Graiman family or the Government Affairs Council. It is estimated that the people from Cape Bay who came to investigate have assumed that all printing houses in Alda are It became his property.
Okay, the joke ends here.
"Sam Russo, I originally wanted to punish you, but I looked through the laws I promulgated and couldn't find a single provision that applies to your situation."
< br>
"Huh?"
"Even if a new law is established for your situation, I have always agreed with the principle that [laws are not retroactive], so I cannot punish you."
Sam He asked cautiously: "Sir, you mean...I...I'm okay?"
Paul nodded gently, "Theoretically...in reality, yes, you escaped this time A disaster.”
“Thank you, Lord Grayman!”
Sam almost cried with joy and kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Sam Russo, do you want to continue making money?" the lord said suddenly.
"Uh... Of course I do, but only on the premise that it does not violate your laws."
Paul smiled and said: "Haha, Sam Russo, you are a good citizen , so I allow you to continue to fulfill your agreement with the customer.”
“Huh?”
Sam was a little confused. The lord didn't seem to care much about whether the book blasphemed the Heavenly Father.
"I will arrange for some people to go to your factory, and leave the matter of this book to them."
Sam, who was still confused, was taken away. .
In short, it is right to follow the lord's arrangements.
The key is the lord's final confession - if anyone asks about this book in the future, he will say he doesn't know.
The room became quiet, and Paul looked around at everyone and said: "If anyone from the church asks about this book in the future, they will say that it was done by an underground printing house."
"Yes, Mr. Grayman."< br>
Everyone’s heart understands God.
Of course these officials are gathered here not just to see the printing factory owner just now.
Paul continued: “However, this incident also reminded me that we should establish some rules for the printing industry or publishing industry and add some legal provisions to restrict it. I don’t want to There’s something on the market today that could really embarrass me.”
"So, I decided...by Thomas."
He shouted.
"Yes, Lord Graiman!"
The Chief Justice stood up.
“First draw up a charter and show it to me.”
"Yes!"
The legislative body at this time was the king and the lords. I have to say, it was really convenient.
Paul turned to the old Ford.
"Set up a publishing review team, and all books must be reviewed by this team before being submitted for printing."
"This book in Jiaowan will be first reviewed by the publishing review team Enter the Index of Forbidden Books.”
"Of course, secretly do as I said before."
