Chang'an Jingcheng.

There have been trellis in Xinghuafang, Anrenfang, Chongyifang and other lifangs. This was recently approved by the imperial court, and entertainment venues can be established in some lifangs - twazi.

In layman's terms, they are the city's entertainment centers, somewhat similar to those large entertainment cities and entertainment squares in later generations.

The raft is a fenced shed, with many performances, including various miscellaneous operas, rafts, puppet operas, movies, and even places that specialize in storytelling and history.

These emerging types of amusement sites have attracted many people in the capital to watch, including dignitaries, scholars, playboys, ordinary people, etc., which can be described as a concentrated place where news is scattered.

Stacks of newspapers called "Dahua Times Weekly" are released here.

"Huh, what is this?"

"The publications printed by the imperial court are said to be new printing techniques and newly created large-faced papers, with very clear words on them."

“The content inside seems to be quite interesting.”

In Dahua Times, the largest part is divided into law cases, financial reports, foreign countries' strange stories, and small experiments on investigating things. The biggest part is this week's news!

"The court sent imperial envoys to cure floods and provide disaster relief and stabilize local disaster victims!"

This title is very eye-catching, explaining the recent arrival of rainy season, natural disasters and floods, which are inevitable. Especially some local officials are greedy for money from repairing river workers, which has caused a disaster in Huayin County, which has immediately caused public resentment and a lot of voices to seek justice for refugees.

However, at the end of the report, a series of measures such as the imperial envoy Ma Zhou, who has been announced in Fengyi County to rectify corrupt officials, repair rivers, appease disaster victims, open warehouses and release grain, and prevent plagues. It is orderly, and people who are reading newspapers applaud from time to time.

"This Lord Ma Zhou has done a good job for the country and the people, rectified corrupt officials, helped the victims and alleviated the disaster situation."

"The court has made a difference and handled it very quickly!"

After reading this week's news, many people have formed one-sided public opinion on the disaster situation, and have supported the imperial court's disaster relief measures and given unanimous praise.

"Changsun Wuji, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, took people to Hanoi County to provide disaster relief to the Yellow River breaking the dam. I believe that the Yellow River disaster will be resolved soon." Many people were talking, and their previous concerns were weakened a little.

Some scholars also highly praised the decisions made by the court.

"The court now attaches more importance to disaster relief and comforting refugees than the previous dynasty, and is ready to manage the Yellow River."

"This court is more pragmatic, engaged in imperial examinations, promoted water conservancy, and even had the idea of ​​trade. If you read this article, the country wants to trade with the Turks, Western Regions, Persia, India, Goguryeo, Fusang, and established an international market, and trade with foreign countries with silk, tea, ceramics, cloth, etc.."

"A great country, is it a great country to compete for profit with the people?" An old master was obviously unhappy about the country's trade and attaching importance to business.

A scholar wearing a green robe, a student from Tai Academy, took a newspaper and explained: "The court wrote that the surplus, the materials and money earned were charged into the national treasury, so that the people could pay taxes and even subsidize national defense, water conservancy and other construction. This idea was very different from the previous dynasties. When Emperor Yang of Sui was in power, he clearly required that he would not trade with foreign countries, but only allowed the policy of tribute. The foreign countries would pay tribute. The Great Sui Dynasty would give some more to maintain their respective needs."

Some people also objected: "This can be successful. Besides, the court encouraged the promotion of business. Isn't this to shake the foundation of the country? If the people do not cultivate land and farm, and there is no food, what will the people in the world eat? Merchants are pursuing profits. At that time, everyone keeps talking about business and profits, and it is definitely not a blessing for the country!"

"I don't know this. It's not as detailed as it is written. After all, this is the first issue, and I love to publish reports later."

At this time, someone read a big title: "Pig slaughtering vegetables have become delicacies, and the promotion of black pig breeding technology is imperative!"

"Is the pig-killing dish the main dish that His Majesty invites all officials in the palace?"

"I heard that the refugees in Chunhefang had eaten pig-killing vegetables a few days ago, and they all praised them. They could eat black pork with confidence."

"The black pigs that have to be castrated must be raised and grown up so that the meat will not be fishy and can only be used. I heard that the court is promoting this breeding technology. As autumn this year, some large and small households in the capital have started raising pigs."

In the vashe, some people were talking about pork, some were discussing the trade between the imperial court and the foreign countries, etc. They were all about Dahua Times Weekly, which published some content, which is not difficult to understand, and there are also punctuation marks. As long as people who read and read can read it, they can understand it, and it is easier to spread.

This is the mouthpiece of the court. It is currently a mainstream media and a propaganda position. Therefore, layout design, content, title, etc. have been repeatedly discussed before carving and printing. Some of them are spread to the east and west cities, the residences, restaurants, and tiles of the princes and nobles, as well as the tile houses of the princes and nobles.

.........

In Chongyifang, in the third floor of a Smoky Rain Building, several men in brocade robes gathered together to drink and talk. Everyone was holding a Dahua Times Weekly in their hands, and they were intertwined and exchanged the contents of a set of newspapers.

Dou Gui snorted: "This week's magazine was printed, which has cleared the court. The flood was mentioned, but it controlled the situation and rectified corrupt officials, which will win the reputation of the court. The unfavorable remarks against the present day in the past few days may be reduced to a minimum. The people will be thinking about the court's disaster relief efforts."

Yang Sijian said: "I heard that there are tens of thousands of sets of people walking in Chang'an City. Today, there will be many Hanlin bachelors, princes and nobles, tribute students from the Imperial Academy, all kinds of religions and other schools. After reading these contents, their influence will increase greatly. It is equivalent to the court controlling mainstream public opinion. This idea is too high."

"If this was also the work of Your Majesty, this person's cultural relics and the concept of governing the country were rare in ancient times!" Pei Ji was full of emotion. He used to think that Luo Cheng of Youzhou was a martial artist who was single-handedly engaged in the army. Later, his literary talent spread, but many people still felt that he might not necessarily know how to govern the country.

But over the past year, Chang'an City has become stable and the court has also been stable. Now His Majesty knows people and makes good use of them. He has promoted many outstanding young people to join the Political Affairs Hall and participates in political affairs. Many older generation officials have served as officials in several dynasties and originally thought they would continue to be sought after and valued. Who would have thought that the court did not invite them to return to the center to serve, but only granted some titles and scattered ranks and some salary. There is no problem with retirement, but it is difficult to express political affairs and interfere with the government affairs of the court.

Feng Deyi stroked his beard and sighed with some exclamation: "This Majesty is not simple anymore, and his ideas are emerging one after another. He wants to trade with foreign countries, understand finance, and proposes black pig feeding technology to improve people's livelihood. There are also investigations in it, and it can be seen that His Majesty is also interested in investigations. It is said that the Bureau of Construction and Construction is developing many new things, each of which will have a big or small impact on people's lives."

Pei Xuanji followed and said, "I have heard that the Construction Bureau has also launched a compass. It is said that in the future, I will not be afraid of getting lost. When I go to the sea, I can find the direction."

Liu Huaien said: "Your Majesty also sent someone to form a ship bureau. It seems that the sea ban is going to be opened, but I'm afraid there will be big moves."

Dou Gui said unconvincedly: "If this continues, the court will become stronger and stronger, and the influence of the emperor will increase unprecedentedly. It will probably be easier to deal with our family forces in the future."

Pei Ji shook his head and said, "Alas, the Guanlong Group has now undergone chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the collapse of the Li Tang Dynasty. Most of the aristocratic forces have declined and no longer had the same momentum as before. There is no need for the emperor to deal with it. After the promotion of the imperial examination, more and more poor scholars have passed the imperial examination and entered the center. The children of the aristocratic families hold important positions in the court, and the situation is no longer optimistic."

Yang Sijian said anxiously: "Then you can't watch the family lose power and never recover from now on. In twenty or thirty years, they may all decline."
