Chapter 121 Guide Public Opinion
After the banquet, Luo Zhaoyun also asked the chef in the imperial kitchen to prepare lean pork and fat meat, which were divided into different pounds according to the official title.
After this on-site tasting of pig-killing vegetables, officials of all generations have deepened their understanding of pork and their prejudice has decreased. Although they are a little resistant, they can still eat it.
This is another gift from the emperor, who dares to accept it happily?
Of course, some officials from poor families accepted it happily, and were happy for the people and the court from the bottom of their hearts.
These officials come from the people, and many of them have not had high families or have declined their families. They have experienced hardships, no meat dishes, no meat, and are very poor.
Nowadays, black pork can be eaten with confidence, and the yield is high. In the Guanlong and the Anding area, there is sufficient food and every family can raise it. At that time, pigs will be raised in the spring of the year and slaughtered at the end of the year, and they can be eaten in a sumptuous manner for more than half a year.
Especially those like Gao Shilian, Xin Gongyi and others, they are worried about the country and the people, pretending to be the people of the world. They learn that pig farming can be promoted and the people will be able to eat meat in the future. They are very happy. They are a hundred times happier than having a delicious meal by themselves.
"This time we are blessed with the people!"
"When everyone in the world eats meat, they can eat it a few times a month, which is really a peaceful and prosperous era."
"In the past, people could not eat meat casually, at most they could eat food and clothing, and they would not be hungry!"
These old ministers were a little moved, holding their flesh in one hand and lamenting, discussing each other, feeling that the prospects of Dahua will become stronger and more prosperous.
After the banquet ended, Wei Zheng entered the palace on behalf of the Censorate and reported something.
In the imperial study room, Luo Zhaoyun sat down, took a sip of tea, and said to Wei Zheng: "Today's banquet, do you think that civil and military officials have truly accepted this black pork?"
Wei Zheng bowed and admitted: "I think that all officials eat very well. Most of them will accept pig-killing vegetables and black pork. A few noble officials, born in a family, and some families have been prominent for a while and have a deep family concept. They may not be able to fully accept it for a while. Eating is something that makes them accept it with pleasure. It is a position of the same as beef and mutton. It may take time."
Luo Zhaoyun nodded, feeling that Wei Zheng’s analysis made sense. It was not the taste, but the inherent concept.
For those noble families, they have accumulated over a hundred years of accumulation and regard themselves as nobles, so they must be particular about their diet and do not choose to take everything.
However, Luo Zhaoyun was not in a hurry, not everyone accepted it. Some people like to eat but don’t eat it, so what do you have to do with him? This black pig breeding technology is mainly to promote the world and allow the people to raise black pigs one after another. At that time, it will improve the living conditions of the people. With cheap pork, the people can eat meat, improve their physical fitness, and strengthen their physical fitness. This is the most important thing.
After talking about this, Wei Zheng hesitated and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you when I enter the palace to meet the saint."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Wei Zheng said cautiously: "Recently, in Chang'an City, there were some rumors spreading in the brothels and brothels, saying that there were constant disasters and were related to Your Majesty's unethical virtues. After ten years of fighting and killing enemies, the evil spirit was too heavy. Only after becoming the emperor would this natural disaster and flood. It was said that God used water to overcome fire and wipe out the hostility and anger on Your Majesty's body!"
After hearing this, Luo Zhaoyun's face darkened. This was obviously a slander. He used natural disasters to use the issue and deliberately smeared his image as a king.
"When did it start to spread?" Luo Zhaoyun frowned and suppressed his anger. This incident was useless for Wei Zheng to lose his temper. Moreover, it was noticed that someone behind the scenes had ulterior motives to slander him.
"It's recently that it has started to spread in the past two or three days. I heard that the Wuhou Mansion has obtained some gossipers. After being severely questioned, some people were instructed by others or took money to spread and spread rumors. However, the envoy behind the scenes has not been found yet. I am worried that someone in the court will make a fuss about this matter, so I have a clear idea of it." Wei Zheng felt that his Majesty's face changed, but he still insisted on saying that as the head of the censor, he should give his advice to him as much as possible.
If Emperor Yang Guang of Sui heard about this, he would probably have directly demoted Wei Zheng and ordered the killing of a group of people.
But Luo Zhaoyun came from later generations and had a certain psychological endurance for such rumors. To put it bluntly, it is the orientation of public opinion. Some people are about to start a public opinion war.
It is very important for the court to have a verbal talk, control the people's thoughts, guide scholars, accept the court's thoughts, concepts, goals, and control propaganda well.
Fortunately, he had been thinking about this matter and had some preparations in advance, which happened to be useful in this matter.
"It's okay, rumors stop at wise men. As long as the court has a way to explain the situation, it can regularly publish news and newspapers, introduce some major national affairs, tell the truth, goodness, beauty, and the achievements of the court, only talk about the aspects of our Dahua doing well, introduce the bad things of foreign countries and the enemy, forming a contrast and contrast, so that the scholar class and the people can all be content with the status quo and support the governance of the court." Luo Zhaoyun smiled faintly, and it seemed that the upgraded version of "Dahua Times Weekly" needed to be published.
In the past, the imperial court issued a lot of proclamations and decrees, and posted them in places with more people in the town gates, city gates, and East-West Trade Markets to announce some policies and notices. Now it is necessary to be more systematic and perfected, and to launch the court's weekly magazines, similar to the news-related newspapers, to write remarks that are beneficial to Dahua, including agricultural harvests, court new policies, Imperial College enrollment, engineering research, foreign country style, disaster relief, etc., so as to guide the people to follow the ideas of newspapers.
"Your Majesty, should you send a censor to make an announcement to the officials of the court, and you must not make any controversy in private, but also to take good care of your own tribe members. At present, some officials have been discovered, and they are nostalgic about the fireworks. The trend of banquets has begun to become popular. Some noble children have no restraint and like to talk nonsense in the brothels."
Although Luo Zhaoyun did not agree with excessive control of speech, in today's era, it still needs to be controlled. Because during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the people had too little information to contact and were easily deceived. Some officials had received the salary of the court and were indeed a bit too much to say, "Before the court's measures have been announced, you can ask the censors to click on the officials, pay attention to the continuation, and go back to formulate the rules of the officials' words and deeds. What should be done and what should not be done, and style issues must be taken into account."
"I know." Wei Zheng bowed and took over the mission.
