"In addition to improving printing technology, His Highness has also improved papermaking technology?" Mi Wen became more and more excited.

If printing and paper can become cheap, Yanzhou people will be able to afford books in the future.

If this is the case, reading and literacy will no longer be an unsatisfactory luxury for the people of the peasants.

Zhao Xu nodded, "So, so your propaganda department can move. The current situation facing Yanzhou is severe. I need to be unified from top to bottom."

If guns and cannons are the sharp claws of the Yanzhou war, then the Propaganda Department is the verbal of Yanzhou.

In addition to internal publicity, this verbal discussion also requires external publicity.

From the present, Zhao Xu is well aware of the importance of mastering public opinion.

Often, public opinion mobilization will be carried out before the war, so that we can be united.

At the same time, public opinion can also disrupt the enemy's people's hearts and make the opponent lose his own way.

Although the spread of information in this era is quite primitive.

The Propaganda Department cannot be like the contemporary one, just sit in front of the computer and send a message to everyone in the world.

But Rome was not built in one day.

Just like the Fourth Hospital where Tsui Hark is in charge, we must first establish it, then consider developing and growing, and eventually become the best.

"Yes, Your Highness." Mi Wen became excited and said, "Your Highness, during this time in Yanzhou, the junior officials have been with several like-minded people in the School of the School. They are all very literary. If they are asked to join the Propaganda Department, they will definitely be like a tiger. I hope your highness will be successful."

"I will give you a handwritten order later, and you can go directly to Liu Fu." Zhao Xu said, Mi Wen was asking him for someone.

Mi Wen was happy and continued, "Also, as your highness instructed the subordinates, although the affairs in charge of the Propaganda Department are simple, they are afraid that many people will run errands to convey His Highness's ideas to the people in time. Therefore, the subordinates want to recruit some scholars."

After pausing, he said, "After Your Highness took over the Nansan County, many scholars flocked to Yancheng. In addition to some talented people who were selected into the Three University Halls, there were also some ordinary people who knew how to read, but were not good at it, but they were enough for the publicity department."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xu looked at Mi Wen.

He found that he underestimated this Mi Wen a little.

This kid's head is very flexible.

But it is true that Mi Wen is one year younger than him, and his young mind is always breaking out.

If you are affected again, it is not surprising that sometimes you will have ideas similar to his style.

He said, "This is exactly what I want to do. Instead of letting them fall into the streets and copying books and buying paintings for a living, it is better to give them some things."

After thinking about it, he said again: "But they would not be happy to just let these scholars run errands, but they all made them officials, which would be a huge expense for the government office."

Mi Wen didn't think of this problem just now and frowned.

That's right, he has recruited so many people and the money he needs to spend will not be less.

He was worried, and Zhao Xu said again: "So I have come up with an idea for you. Even if the Propaganda Department is responsible for propaganda to the entire Yanzhou, then set up a propaganda booth in each county town, set up an official to be responsible for propaganda booth, and two officials."

"The remaining scholars are collectively called propagandists. They are neither officials nor officials, but they are also paid by the government office. However, the salary will be very small. In this way, the seven counties of Yanzhou and forty-nine counties will not consume much money."

In ancient times, pavilions were also commonly used names for institutions.

For example, Liu Bang served as the pavilion chief.

When Mi Wen heard this, he clapped happily, "Your Highness is still thoughtful. These propagandists only need to give them enough salary. After all, they will continue to study and take the official exam."

"That's what it means." Zhao Xu smiled.

These propagandists are equivalent to temporary workers in the government office.

Just like in the present, although there is little money, there are still people who are rushing to do it. After all, it is a bit embarrassing to say it out.

The ancient and modern times only have different levels of technology, but human nature is the same.

In this way, he solved the tedious publicity affairs with the lowest cost.

At the same time, the business of these scholars was also solved.

Mi Wen savored it for a while, and became more and more impatient, "Since the publicity booth below is like this, the newspaper will follow it."

After reading a sentence, he bowed and said, "Your Highness, the emperor will post a notice and build the propaganda department."

Zhao Xu nodded and told Mi Wen about some details, so he could do it.

The next few days.

The originally calm Yancheng boiled like water like a pan of oil.

In the streets and alleys, scholars were talking about the same name, Propaganda Department.

Next to the official road in the north city, in a tea shed, three scholars covered with patches were sitting on bamboo chairs carrying the cheapest tea.

They just returned from a trip outside and just settled here.

At this moment, looking at the crowded people at the city gate, a tall scholar in the middle said, "What's wrong there? It's so lively."

The old man who poured tea for the guests back and forth heard this and said, "Don't you know? The government office has just established a propaganda department and is recruiting people. I thought you didn't like this propaganda department."

"When did this exist in the Propaganda Department? "Are you there in the Dasong official organization?" said a scholar next to him.

"His Highness of the King of Yan has always been independent and it is not uncommon to set up a new institution. Do you want to inquire or not?" said the third scholar.

"Forget it, the three of us are poor, we have no money to buy books, have low knowledge, fail the official exam, or fail the government affairs school exam, and it is not our turn to the Propaganda Department." The tall scholar sighed.

"You are wrong. Old man, I heard that the publicity department has recruited a large number of propaganda personnel this time, and what they want is scholars like you. Moreover, although these propaganda personnel are not officials or officials, they also receive salaries from the government office." The old man looked at the three of them with his hands behind his back.

He is not meddling in other people's business, if the Yuan family still had jurisdiction over Yanzhou.

He was too lazy to listen to the affairs of the government office.

But it’s different now. Yanzhou is now owned by the King of Yan.

In the past two years, under the rule of the King of Yan, the broken and lifeless Yan County gradually came to life.

Under extremely low taxes, the people harvested two or three seasons of food, and their families gradually became richer and had spare money to drink tea. His tea shed gradually gained income.

In this regard, he and the people had no choice but to be grateful to the King of Yan who rescued them from the sea of ​​suffering.

Especially the people in Yancheng and nearby people, they witnessed the King of Yan destroying the three powerful families of Zhang, Huang and Du in Yan County, and saw the King of Yan personally visit the battlefield and face the soldiers of Beidi directly.

It can be said that Yanzhou has today, which condenses the blood and sweat of the King of Yan.

Therefore, like every common people on the land of King Yan, they supported King Yan from the bottom of their hearts.

They support any policy of the King of Yan, and they are willing to take the initiative to do anything that is beneficial to the King of Yan.

Now, if the King of Yan wants to establish a propaganda department, he naturally has to help with the publicity.

When the three scholars heard this, they stood up and stopped drinking tea and went to the city.
