Reporters, news agencies …
It was actually Li Hao’s first time hearing these Terms, but he had a general idea of what they were after learning about them.
A product of the evolution of civilization.
The self-proclaimed open and just Duke dingguo pushed out the newspaper office in the East. In fact, it was a mouthpiece for public opinion and a way to brainwash the people.
It seemed to have existed since the ancient civilization.
However, there seemed to be a slight difference between the ancient civilization and the present.
After returning to the hotel, Li Hao read some newspapers.
He was carefully reading some of the articles on it.
“Duke dingguo issued a statement today: the central region is in turmoil. The 21 eastern provinces are willing to open their gates and welcome the central region’s refugees to take refuge in the East and start a new life.”
“The high Duke’s public house has made a decision today. The world is in turmoil and the people are uneasy. Tai ‘an province has a disaster. The high Duke’s public house is sad for the suffering of the victims and will distribute one million catties of white rice to the disaster area …”
“The dingguo Army is recruiting new soldiers. All Eastern citizens who are 16 years old and below 30 years old can sign up. One soldier, and the whole family is exempted from tax …”
“General Xu Zhen of the left road of the dingguo Army is inspecting the East Sea today to expel the Pirates. Seeing the People’s suffering, I hereby order that the coastal residents are exempted from tax for three years …”
“……”
There were many newspapers in the hotel.
They were all from a newspaper called Eastern people news.
To the public, this era was actually quite open to the public. However, they still did not know about some of the important figures ‘situations.
Not to mention them, even the intellectuals of this era like Li Hao didn’t know much.
When he had been in the Silver City’s ancient Academy, he had known of the existence of the nine divisions, but he didn’t even know what they were.
He was also one of the rare scholars in this era.
It was clear that for others, the sources of information were even fewer. Today, these newspapers had given them a source of information. Perhaps there were not many people who could read, but as long as one person knew how to read, the news would quickly spread.
“Not bad!” Li Hao’s eyes twinkled.
Between the lines, it reflected the Duke dingguo’s mansion’s compassion for the common people.
But in fact, Li Hao thought that it was all bullsh * t.
For example, Xu Zhen went to the East Sea for an inspection and said something about expelling the Pirates of the East Sea … Was that true?
If it was true, there were still a large number of Pirates in the East Sea. Where did they come from?
For example, disaster relief. One million catties sounded like a lot, but it was only 500 tons. Was 500 tons a lot?
A large province was affected, and the number of people affected was more than a million.
One person could only eat half-full in a day. One million catties was only enough for a million people to eat for one or two days. However, could the disaster end in one or two days?
Moreover, the Duke dingguo’s mansion was still the ruler of the entire East in name, so this was what they should do.
But now, it had been published in the newspaper and spread throughout the East, making the people of the East grateful to him.
“Newspapers … Good stuff!”
This was a sharp weapon to create public opinion.
In this era, people couldn’t get in touch with the people in the city once they were out of the city. Even the powerhouses could only spread the news through the communication Jade. Therefore, the existence of the newspaper could easily deceive the people and win their hearts.
“Duke dingguo must have excavated some ruins … And obtained some information about the ancient civilization.”
Li Hao came to a conclusion.
He did not know much about the newspapers.
In the ancient civilization system, what was most talked about was actually the television. It could directly project one’s image in all directions and transmit it to the entire world. That was the true weapon.
Of course, this era was actually very abnormal.
Planes and cannons had been made, but these things had not been made. Perhaps the people in power did not care, or perhaps … Someone deliberately did not do this. If they did, the news would spread too quickly, and the flow of information would be too fast. It would not be conducive to controlling the People’s hearts.
The more you know, the more you think, and the more you think, the more you want.
When you live in a poor and remote place, you actually don’t have any ambitions.
However, when you see the outside world indulging in debauchery every day, you can’t help but want to go out and make a living. You want to live such a life.
“Duke dingguo …”
Through the window, Li Hao looked into the distance. It was the brightly lit Duke dingguo’s mansion.
This Duke of the East was quite capable.
At the very least, this tactic of buying over the People’s hearts was actually used quite well.
Strictly speaking, the living standard in the East was not bad either. It seemed to be much richer than in the North.
“An ambitious person …”
Li Hao gave him a new definition. There were probably many ambitious people in this era.
So many sunguang from the Duke dingguo’s mansion had died, but it seemed that there were still many left … It could be seen that the Duke dingguo’s mansion also had a lot of strong people. However, at present, it seemed that the East had not been completely unified by the Duke dingguo.
Otherwise, there would be no need to involve some of the big shots in the Eastern Province in his son’s seventh birthday. At this moment, he probably wanted to take the opportunity to intimidate and prevent some of the overlords in the eastern provinces from taking the opportunity to escape from his control because too many powerhouses had died.
“Disguise as a reporter and sneak in?”
It sounded simple.
But Li Hao was also thinking. How could he sneak into the Duke dingguo’s mansion so easily?
Just spend a few thousand?
At this time, there were not many people who were willing to spend thousands to watch the show. If there were … They were probably people with bad intentions.
“It’s obvious that the high Duke’s public house is controlling these news agencies from behind the scenes. They are their own businesses, so why would they let people join the high Duke’s public house just by spending some money?”
