Chapter 482 Public Opinion Guidance
Lin Yangyang and Lu Nanyue looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"Sister Qing, what you said is not what I thought it meant, right?" Lin Yangyang asked:
"Do you want to speak for women like Uncle San?"
"No, it's not about speaking for women, but about letting women speak." Lin Zhiqing replied.
There is an essential difference between the two.
The initiative of the former is still in the hands of Lin Zhiqing alone, while the latter covers a wider range.
If only Lin Zhiqing was working hard, the power would not be enough.
"But now we are imprisoned and about to get married. How can we do this?" Lu Nanyue asked.
"Marriage is an opportunity." Lin Zhiqing took a deep breath.
A quarter of an hour ago, she had no intention of telling Lin Yangyang and Lu Nanyue what she had just said.
After all, in the rules of Dasheng, women seemed to be born in a lower position and did not have the idea of enjoying the same treatment as men.
But she had just heard the reluctance of Lin Yangyang and Lu Nanyue.
What does this mean?
It means that some people are waking up, and some people are struggling to escape from their current situation.
That's a good thing.
Lin Zhiqing is willing to put her back in their hands; she trusts them.
"Marriage is an opportunity?" Lu Nanyue repeated this sentence to Lin Yangyang, and finally looked at Lin Zhiqing in unison.
Lin Zhiqing sat across from them and said, "Think about it, who are the people who are trying their best to promote the marriage?"
"The envoy from Daliang!" Lin Yangyang answered without hesitation.
"Duke Pei, and the Crown Prince!" Lu Nanyue thought for a moment before answering, then added, "The Censorate, those stubborn old men in the Censorate!"
Lin Zhiqing nodded: "Yes, these are the people."
At the palace banquet, some people tried their best to dissuade the prince from rejecting the marriage, while others were eager to send Lin Zhiqing and others into the bridal sedan the next day.
What Lin Zhiqing wants to do now is to use the marriage to uncover the relationship between Daliang and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, as well as Daliang's conspiracy.
Only in this way can she demonstrate her own value and gain rights.
If you want women to speak, someone has to fight for their chance to speak.
This person cannot be a young lady from the boudoir, nor a woman from a high-class family, but can only be someone who holds power in his own hands.
Lin Zhiqing had successful experience in the past.
After taking control of the Lin family, she changed their fate.
It’s the same now. She wants to change herself and also wants to change the fate of Lin Yangyang, Lu Nanyue and thousands of other women.
It is definitely not possible to marry a princess to a foreign prince.
Now Lin Zhiqing must use this as an excuse to find out the thoughts and positions of those who support the marriage, so as to change their views.
At the same time, look for Daliang's flaws to let everyone see that there are more ways to solve the problem than just sacrificing women.
These thoughts appeared in her mind last night.
To sum up, there are only two types.
First, refuse the marriage proposal.
Second, gain power.
The solution to rejecting marriage alliance is definitely to gradually explore and change the minds of those who support marriage alliance.
As for obtaining rights, that is another story.
After clarifying the goal, Lin Zhiqing added:
"There are four types of people who support the marriage alliance: the royal family, the Duke of Pei, the Censorate, and the common people!"
Lin Zhiqing deliberately emphasized the word "common people" and then spoke:
"We can't marry a princess, so what we have to do now is to change these people's minds."
"I understand the principle, but how do I start?" Lin Yangyang asked.
Lin Zhiqing knocked on the table: "Let's start with the simple ones."
"None of these four types of people are simple." Lu Nanyue couldn't help but say:
"There are so many people in Dasheng, we can't persuade them all just by persuading them."
"Wang Yuan of the Imperial Censorate is an extremely conservative person. As long as it is beneficial to Dasheng, he will not easily change his mind."
"The Duke of Pei has been away on campaigns for years, and now lives out his days in Shengjing City. His glory is no longer what it once was, but his prestige and influence are immense."
"The royal family...we can't get close to the prince and the emperor."
She analyzed these four types of people very thoroughly.
"Nanyue, the common people are the easiest to start with." Lin Zhiqing reminded:
"Have you forgotten how I once declared war on the Zhenyuan Marquisate?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Nanyue and Lin Yangyang's thoughts immediately went back to a few months ago.
At that time, Lin Zhiqing took the initiative to expose the fact that the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion was plotting to murder Lin Congrong and that the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion was hypocritically manipulating the orphan girl's marriage.
At that time, this matter quickly spread throughout the capital. How did it spread?
Thinking of this, their eyes lit up.
That’s right!
newspaper!
It's a newspaper!
At the beginning, Lin Zhiqing studied something called a newspaper. He used exaggerated headlines to attract the curiosity of many people and stimulated discussions among the people.
Therefore, the hypocrisy of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion spread among the people very quickly.
However, Lin Zhiqing was not particularly satisfied with the first generation of newspapers.
However, because he was busy overturning Lin Congrong's verdict, the matter of continuing to study the newspaper was put on hold.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing spoke solemnly:
"Cousin, Nanyue, a marriage is a major event. It will take at least a month for the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate an auspicious time and prepare the dowry."
"One month? No, it shouldn't be that long, unless the auspicious day calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory is extended." Lu Nanyue frowned, a little worried.
Lin Zhiqing curled his lips and said, "Nanyue, Lu Huai might have already met the director of the Imperial Observatory by now."
Lu Nanyue was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted: "Have you discussed this matter with Xiao Huai in advance?"
Lin Zhiqing nodded: "So, we should have enough time."
"I will speed up now and make the complete newspaper."
"When the time comes, we will do the same thing and use the disadvantages of newspapers spreading the marriage proposal."
This is a way to change people's views by manipulating public opinion.
In previous lives, this method had a very high success rate.
Even Lin Zhiqing is often led astray by fake news.
Of course, in the past, due to the prevalence of electronic products, information could be transmitted faster and wider, so it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
But now, a newspaper is enough for Lin Zhiqing to control public opinion in his own hands.
After hearing Lin Zhiqing's words, Lin Yangyang nodded without hesitation: "Sister Qing, I will listen to you."
Lu Nanyue also nodded: "Xiao Qing'er, this time, how we go about this journey is up to you."
Lin Zhiqing let out a breath of foul air.
It feels really good to have someone to fight alongside you.
Lu Huai is Lin Zhiqing's most compatible partner, but the support of Lu Nanyue and Lin Yangyang in the matter of marriage is itself a great encouragement.
Women in this world are always moving forward.
Now their first step forward is the people and the newspapers!
