"Bo Guwen has won 14 consecutive games, and Da Qi has no second-best male rival! Damn it! I must have come to Lingnan on orders, otherwise I would have let these barbarians know that Da Qi is full of heroes."
Ma Tong closed the official report in his hand, and was so indignant that he felt like exploding.
I have been in Quanzhou for a month, and I really have a lot of free time.
Following Lu Chen's instructions, they came to this place to look for a businessman named Xu. They were full of confidence before coming, but were completely at a loss after arriving.
The household registration system was not perfect at that time, and there were no so-called cameras. People had to go to the government office to apply for a travel permit only when they were going on a long journey.
Trying to find someone in a place like Quanzhou with just a few words is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Before coming here, I thought I could do something great, but after coming here, I just did some shitty things all day long. After a long time, Ma Tong felt that he was going to be useless.
Nowadays, his greatest entertainment is to read the official bulletins distributed by the court. This makes him feel that he is still in the capital, in the political center of Da Qi, and has not left the power circle.
Since the Jinyiwei and the Chinese Academy of Sciences took over the affairs of the official newspapers and post stations, these two items were no longer a burden on the court.
In previous years, these two things would cost the court a lot of money. Every time the Ministry of Revenue talked about it, I couldn't help but want to curse.
But if you say these two things are useless, they are not completely useless. If you insist that they are useful, it is difficult to say exactly how useful they are.
This is what chicken ribs refer to. They are tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
In fact, the imperial court had wanted to abolish the post stations and official gazettes more than once, but after several discussions, it ultimately failed to make up its mind.
At the time, Lu Chen sighed that it was a good thing that the imperial court did not make any mistakes, otherwise someone working at the post station might suddenly evolve into a macho man who appeared out of nowhere.
It was clearly a losing business in the eyes of the imperial court. It was clearly a business that the imperial court tried hard to get rid of, but in the hands of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it found a second life and turned into a money-making tool.
Needless to say, the political and business sections have always been the basic foundation of the court bulletin. With the careful compilation of the School of Literature of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it has now become the golden rule for officials and businessmen below to understand the policy dynamics of the Great Qi.
The newly launched international, legal and sports sections are even more popular among the people.
Nowadays, the enthusiasm of the people of Da Qi to participate in politics is quite high. Official bulletins are posted in the countryside, and there are special people who recite and explain them regularly every day.
This not only provided a job for the scholars to make a living, but also gave the common people something to talk about after dinner.
Nowadays, the favorite thing for the people in the countryside to do is to squat on the ground after dinner and talk about the latest diplomatic developments of the Great Qi and whether the conditions for peace talks between Liao and Jin are acceptable.
When they get excited, some old farmers will even slap their thighs and angrily denounce the absurdity of certain policies and the officials who are just sitting in office and doing nothing.
Facts have proved that online politics has always been quite popular in any era.
As for some bizarre legal regulations, they opened the eyes of the rural people and played a role in popularizing the law.
For example, one day, Zhang San was walking on a small road and suddenly heard a woman crying and asking for help. When he got closer, he found that a gangster had dragged the woman into the woods and was about to commit a crime.
After that, Zhang San rushed forward, rescued the woman, and killed the bandit. Yes, it was what you guys thought. So the question is, should Zhang San be convicted and how should he be convicted.
Such cases not only opened the eyes of the rural people, but also made local officials cry out that their lives were in danger, and provided a series of references for their subsequent trial cases.
Of course, these are just things that older people and women like to pay attention to.
What really attracts those middle-aged men are the various competitions.
Take the boxing match in the capital for example. It is now the most popular topic among the gentlemen in Da Qi after dinner.
It's quite magical. There was no live TV broadcast and the competition was only held on a small scale in the capital of the Great Qi Dynasty. However, because of the existence of the official newspaper, it became known to the whole world, and everyone was quite indignant.
As for the reason, it was simply outrageous. It was simply because the winner was called Bogu Wen, and he made wild remarks on the ring, mocking that Da Qi had no men.
Just such a simple sentence caused countless people in Da Qi to be indignant and helpless.
After all, he won fairly in the ring. What can you do? If you are not convinced, just come to the ring.
Most people don’t have the ability to get into the ring, but they are good at cursing, and very good at it.
During this period, many martial artists came on stage and wanted to teach Bogu Wen a lesson, but because he was not a heavyweight, and the rules prohibited poking eyes or kicking crotch, and using hidden weapons, no one could do anything to Bogu Wen.
What made everyone even more angry was that every time the official newspaper reported this incident, the contempt that filled the lines was simply maddening.
In this way, the competition spread throughout Da Qi in the shortest time.
Among them, the School of Literature played a very important role. All these articles were produced by them.
They accepted Lu Chen's instructions, and their series of operations were in full compliance with Lu Chen's requirements.
How can you get the audience to pay attention to a particular event? Actually, it's very simple: just stir up conflict and opposition.
Bogu Wen is simply a natural walking topic-making machine. He is a fierce general of Liao and Jin. Although he is a prisoner, he still made many people in Da Qi cry for their parents.
In this regard, the School of Arts does not need to add any exaggeration. A simple and straightforward narrative can make many people in Da Qi go crazy.
If a little bit of Spring and Autumn style of writing is used in this process, the effect will be more obvious.
Seeing Ma Tong put down the official report, someone immediately handed him tea and said, "That's right. We brothers all know that you, the commander-in-chief, are unparalleled martial arts masters. People like Bo Guwen are not even worthy of being your opponent."
Ma Tong chuckled and didn't refute. After all, they were in his own department, so what was wrong with listening to his subordinates flattering him?
Just when he was thinking about praising the other party and encouraging him to keep up the good work, someone rushed in from outside. After quickly bowing to Ma Tong, he said excitedly, "Sir, we finally have some clues! We may have found the person!"
