Before the arrival of the information age, newspapers were always a powerful weapon to control public opinion. Before the emergence of radio and television, the role of newspapers was even more powerful than imagined.

In the future, if Zhao Liang unifies the country, he wants to change China's destiny and create a great era, it is impossible for the land of China to continue to "sink" in the classical era and cannot extricate himself.

To open up people's wisdom, popularizing education is naturally necessary, and newspapers are also necessary.

Of course, it is still Daqingguo. Newspapers cannot be officially promoted and distributed. All Zhao Liang can do is the school newspaper and factory newspaper.

School newspapers are preferred over factory newspapers because school newspapers target students from technical schools and schools. The latter group has a higher cultural level and a much higher literacy rate than those of workers in textile factories, workshops, and mines.

The content of the school newspaper cannot be excessive, because it is for the public and it is impossible to keep it confidential. In the late Qianlong period, it was a time when literary inquisitions occurred frequently. Now it is almost once a year, and there are countless small cases.

So the school newspaper in front of me is very responsible.

The focus is on praising the outstanding teachers and students in the technical school, and the focus is on the students' articles and poems. The secondary length is the world's interesting stories, and the final is the geography and history of overseas.

The newspaper exudes a smell of ink, which Zhao Liang brought in directly from Macau, and also brought a Gutenberg lead movable type printing machine. This thing has been circulating in the Western world for three hundred years.

Zhao Liang asked people to copy them all, and copied more than 20 lead movable type printing machines. Because he wanted to print school newspapers and factory newspapers, he was also preparing to enter the book printing industry.

This lead type printing technique using ink, the effect of the finished product is easier and much cheaper than that of old-fashioned engraving book printing.

To be precise, Zhao Liang now uses this method to print the Four Books and Five Classics, and the cost is only 20 to 30,000 pieces, which is still bound.

But the Four Books and Five Classics, the Analects of Confucius and other books on the market can be as little as one or two hundred texts, which is the handwritten copy of ordinary scholars. The expensive hardcover version requires seven or eight hundred texts.

In the 38th year of Qianlong, Zhu Yunjiao engraved 8 volumes of "Shuowen Jiezi" and the cover is stamped with a red square seal with "5 taels of silver for each work price", each volume is six cents and two cents, which is 620 texts.

It is conceivable how much impact Zhao Liang will have on this industry after entering the printing industry.

Especially with his deep background and no one can use some messy means to hinder him.

When all the people in the world who engraved and printed books knew that Zhao Liang had a new secret method, he was using lead movable type printing technology to publicly publicly, so he would not be afraid that those booksellers would not follow suit.

This has a great role in promoting the development of culture and education in China as a whole.

"I don't know when Daqingguo can open a newspaper, but as long as two of you do things in detail, I will not treat you badly."

Zhao Liang said to the school newspaper's first chief, two deputy chief editors.

The editor-in-chief is Guo Zihua from Macau. He doesn't know if he has a foreign name. Anyway, Guo Zihua is much more obedient than the previous "Fernando".

Guo Zihua's expression was very excited, and a position as editor-in-chief completely freed him from his relatively heavy teaching work.

In the future, he will not only surpass the level of ordinary teachers in technical schools in terms of level, but also greatly surpass the past in salary and benefits. This is equivalent to a promotion and a salary increase, which is a great thing for anyone.

The first deputy editor-in-chief Fan Qi is Fan Zhizhong's nephew. She failed to pass the imperial examination, and she was not even a Jinshi. She was just a scholar and came to the technical school to apply for a job two years ago. She has a deep sense of traditional literati, but she can treat students equally regardless of poverty or humbleness, and is also very responsible and serious in teaching.

Zhao Liang felt that such people were people who truly read books into their bones, and such traditional literati were not bad.

He is responsible for the articles and poems sections in the school newspaper, and he enjoys it. Some of the eloquences of the articles and poems can even write more words than the author's original manuscript.

He doesn't really care about the position, and of course he doesn't like Guo Zihua's cultural literacy.

The second deputy editor-in-chief is Xu Yanhui, who was deliberately supported by Zhao Liang. What he is responsible for is the overseas geography and history sector.

It is the lightest among the three and has the lowest presence.

"The uncle has deep friendship with Hezhongtang, the Beijing Zhongzhong and others. Why not talk about Hezhongtang and promote newspapers in China?"

In Fan Qi's mind, this newspaper is a variant of the imperial court's newspaper. It is still necessary to expand the imperial newspaper.

Just like his uncle Fan Zhizhong, when he was sent to the court's residence, he would ask the servant to buy it. Someone in the government copied the residence's report and then used it to learn about some major affairs of the country.

"At this time, the relationship is important. The court has strict control over the remarks. If someone commits a crime, I am afraid that the culprit will also receive one or two money. So it is better to have more things than less."

"You all have brightened my eyes. If anyone makes a mistake in this, I will definitely not spare you."

Fan Qi immediately shut up.

He understood what Zhao Liang meant.

Xu Yanhui's eyes turned red and almost burst into tears on the spot. The Qing Dynasty's literary inquisition made his Xu family miserable!

"Since everything is ready, speed up printing. When the new semester starts, it will be the day when the school newspaper is released."

Then in the second half of the first lunar month, what was hotly discussed in Chenzhou Prefecture was no longer the most beautiful and outstanding lanterns of which family were the most beautiful and outstanding this year, but the school newspaper that was reported from the intersection of Longlu.

Although the articles and poems published in this newspaper are very immature and have limited levels, they can still attract the eyes of some "predecessors"?

Even the professors and teachers from Fuxue County School came to Longlukou to ask Zhao Liang if this newspaper could also include their articles and poems?

The manuscript fee is not important. What is important is the great sense of accomplishment after seeing your article being printed into small square characters.

Of course, Zhao Liang agreed immediately.

This is a very good start. After the scholars from the county school school sent the articles to Longlukou and then published them, can the students from various academies of Chenzhou Prefecture still sit still?

In this way, the school newspaper is still a school newspaper, but the influence of the school newspaper is no longer a "school newspaper".

As this influence spreads, those little frames that publish worldly stories and overseas geographical history will sooner or later be seen by these "scholars".

In fact, the people of Chenzhou Prefecture have already come up with these overseas strange talks.

Because all the restaurants, teahouses and inns under the name of the Zhao family hold these things, and even the storytellers are talking about them.
