The newspapers were circulated among the crowd.

Xiao Ming said: "This thing in your hands is newspaper. The so-called newspaper boys are sending newspapers to various prefectures and counties, and are responsible for reading newspapers to those people know. This matter is very simple, but it is also very serious. After reading the newspaper, you will also be responsible for collecting the sufferings in the hearts of the people and then passing them to Qingzhou."

A group of scholars nodded frequently, and then Fan Zeng said, "Your Highness, isn't this newspaper boy somewhat similar to a censor?"

"It is indeed somewhat similar to the censors, but the people's sentiments you reflected will be published in the newspaper, and the people's officials will reflect the current solution back to the newspaper, so that the voices of the people can be known from top to bottom." Xiao Ming glanced at Fan Zeng with appreciation.

The scholars were a little incredible. The King of Qi attached so much importance to the sufferings in the hearts of the people in the fiefdom, which really made them feel moved.

Some scholars said: "Your Highness is diligent and loves the people, and we should have helped you."

"Yes, I'd like to be this newspaper boy."

"Yes, nothing is worth embarrassing. Reading books is for the people."

“…”

The scholars in the governor's mansion were all passionate. Pang Yukun and Xiao Ming nodded secretly when they saw this. In fact, the people and these scholars also had a reputation in their hearts.

If it were before, they would naturally consider it carefully, but now they also see the various measures of King Qi.

However, these scholars are only part of them, and some of them are silent, seemingly having no interest in the matter of reporting to children.

Some people also showed impatient expressions, as if they were waiting for something else.

Xiao Ming saw the expressions of these people and sneered in his heart. He knew that the purpose of these people was to serve as the chief of the army, but the more he did, the less he would give them the position of the chief of the army.

Because these people are indifferent to the people, they naturally will not be polite to the soldiers from the people in the army. Even if they come to the army, they are still an official, so they don’t need such a person.

Those who win the hearts of the people have always won the world. Xiao Ming's reforms are all to win the hearts of the people and bring these people under his command. Wouldn't it be a big deal for him?

Moreover, these impatient scholars are all full-body and have good clothes. They look like they have a good background, and they probably are either big or small families.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Scholars who are willing to apply for the recruitment of the boys please stay, and others can leave."

"Leave? Your Highness, the notice clearly states that there is a request from the chief minister." A scholar said dissatisfied.

Pang Yukun snorted coldly, "Whatever Your Highness says is what you want. When will it be your turn to make a lot of noise here, go out!"

The scholar turned pale, he shook his sleeves, and left in anger. Some other scholars followed him out.

After waiting for a while, looking at the remaining 100 people in the hall, Xiao Ming then said: "Congratulations, you can choose the chief and the newspaper boy at will. However, the chief and the officials need to pass the test of Pang Changshi. As for the newspaper boy, you can register now and report every day, and you will be one or two taels of silver a month from now on."

The scholars showed an incredible look, followed by ecstasy, and many people secretly thanked that they did not leave.

"I will examine you one by one. Those who pass the exam will be assigned to the Bowen Academy as a student for a period of time. If you pass the exam, you can enter the army." Pang Yukun said.

The scholars immediately lined up one by one, waiting for the test.

At this time, Fan Zeng walked out silently and said to Xiao Ming: "Your Highness, Caomin is old, so he will not go to the Chief Secretary, but your highness said just now, really moved me."

"An old horse is in the stable and has ambitions for thousands of miles. Why should my father-in-law belittle himself?" Xiao Ming said.

Fan Zeng said: "Report to your highness, I have participated in the imperial examination since I was fifteen years old, and I still have accomplished nothing. Your Highness is really too praise for Mr. Jiang compared to me. I know my ability, so I should be a newspaper boy."

"Since that's the case, I won't force you. As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet." Xiao Ming said. First, Fan Zeng is really old, and second, he has no intention and is not competent for the chief minister.

However, in his opinion, Fan Zeng is old and an old scholar, so he is very suitable for a newspaper that is about to be established.

He paused and said, "If my father-in-law is willing, can he write down what he sees among the people? If it is good, he can publish it in this newspaper."

"It's OK," Fan Zeng said.

Xiao Ming pointed at him. He didn't dare to confirm Fan Zeng's ability, so he wanted to test it.

In fact, he doesn't care about the people selected for the imperial examination. After all, in any era, there are always many wrong talents.

The chief and the newspaper boy had a settlement, and Xiao Ming accelerated the construction of newspapers, papermaking and printing workshops.

As soon as the workshop park was built, he arranged for craftsmen to settle in and start production.

He also selected the position of the newspaper, and is temporarily in the Bowen Academy.

As soon as the Governor's Office sat down, a noise suddenly came from outside the door. Then Lu Fei walked in with a laugh and said, "Your Highness, Mo Jiang heard that the Iron and Steel Workshop has produced a lot of armor. Can you let Mo Jiang go and take a look?"

"Hmph, Chen Wenlong told you that there is no one in his mouth." Xiao Ming said.

Lu Fei laughed and said, "Your Highness, you can't blame Chen Bingcao for this. It was the general who caught him and scared him a few words before he said it."

"I guess so, for all, you're here anyway, let's go and have a look together." Xiao Ming was also looking forward to it.

Since the expansion of the steel workshop and sufficient manpower, the production of this plate armor has begun, and it is a large-scale assembly line production. One hundred sets of plate armor are guaranteed to be free of problems every day.

After all, although it is an assembly line production, there are still restrictions on the backward production conditions here.

When they arrived at the Iron and Steel Floor, the two saw a combined plate armor, which radiated shiny silver-white.

From the helmet, breastplate, arm guards, and leg guards form a complete human form.

This is the advantage of plate armor. It is not only flexible, but also has strict protection and has almost no flaws. With the high-quality steel made from the steel workshop and the repeated pounding of the forged hammer, the steel quality of plate armor is also good.

"Your Highness, this must be mine." Lu Fei said to one of the tall plate armors.

The successfully forged plate armor stood up like Terracotta Warriors and Horses. Xiao Ming looked in the direction of Lu Fei's finger. It was a large plate armor that exceeded the average plate armor in both size and thickness.

"That's right, this is Captain Lu." Chen Wenlong said with a smile.

The cold metallic luster came from the plate armor. Lu Fei stared at his armor as if he had seen a lover. He strode over and said, "Your Highness, can I try it?"
