Just after the New Year of the 12th year of the Qingli period of the Song Dynasty, a series of new policies arrived as expected in January.
The imperial court issued its decrees through various means.
Newspapers became the only channel for most ordinary people to obtain information.
January 26th.
The New Year holiday, the Halloween holiday and the Lantern Festival holiday had just passed not long ago, and a series of new policy news came out.
Yesterday, on the morning of the 25th, after the court meeting ended, the Constitutional Council issued the edict stamped with the emperor's jade seal and the signature of the Constitutional Council to all places.
Such a new policy naturally does not mean writing all the information on a piece of paper and then publishing it.
Instead, the corresponding orders are specifically issued to the corresponding departments.
For example, if the imperial court wants to reform the education system, it will send the relevant content to the Ministry of Education, which will then be responsible for the actual implementation.
The Constitutional Yuan will be responsible for supervision and management, and urge them to implement the policies as soon as possible.
In fact, such small changes are made every year, such as judicial reform.
Criminal law is a process of continuous improvement, and patches must be added at all times to prevent suspects from finding loopholes.
This year alone has seen large-scale, concentrated changes, which can be said to be a major round of comprehensive reform.
Almost as soon as the court meeting ended on the morning of the 25th and the government decree was issued, all relevant departments received the draft implementation plan and draft opinions of the reform.
The reason why it is divided into an executive draft and an opinion draft is that some have been finalized, while some still need to be discussed and studied within the department.
But the news spread at noon, and by the next morning, the 26th, the Da Song Daily had compiled relevant news from all aspects and published it on the earliest newspaper headlines.
Outer City West Street is the most prosperous street in the south city. Because it is close to Nanxun Gate and connects the urban and rural areas outside the city, the daily flow of people is very large.
West Street had already changed its appearance at this time, although the overall building had not been demolished yet and retained its previous appearance.
However, the style of painting has changed drastically.
In the past, West Street was just an ordinary ancient street market, with two- or three-story buildings on both sides, restaurants, shops, and residential buildings. There were all kinds of signs, vendors below and outside, and crowds of people.
Now the sound of bicycle bells can be heard everywhere, and rickshaws are running with shouts.
There are also electric poles erected, wires passing over people's heads, and street lights standing at the intersections, giving off a strange feeling of the intersection of ancient and modern times.
This feeling can't really be felt outside the city.
Because there are already tall buildings outside the city, bicycles shuttle between them, and there are even train stations, telegraph stations, newsstands, etc.
The streets are also very wide and the roads are neat, with bus lanes and car roads reserved for the future. It seems like two different worlds from the streets in the inner city, a bit like Shanghai in the later Republic of China.
However, because the buildings in the city are too narrow, the roads are cramped, many facilities are outdated, and the buildings are too ancient, it looks more like an extremely remote ancient town or village or the Hengdian Song Dynasty Film and Television City after a thousand years.
West Street is most famous for its numerous tea stalls, which stretch across the entire Bianliang from west to east. At the intersection of Nanxunmenli Street and West Street, near the Caihe Longjin Bridge, there is greenery covering the sky, and tea stalls are everywhere under the towering trees.
"Hey, did you hear?"
"What's wrong?"
Early in the morning, several old tea drinkers sat there and chatted.
"Did the court issue a new decree yesterday?"
"Yeah?"
"That's right. I heard there are big changes."
"What's there?"
"In the officialdom and among the people, there are all kinds of things."
"That should be a good idea."
"Well, all I know is that my brother told me that he wanted to build a new university. You also know that my brother works for the Ministry of Education."
"That's all? Isn't that a huge change?"
"It just came out. I just heard my brother mention it. Anyway, this involves a lot of things."
"Just try to trick me."
There are a lot of people in the morning.
People in Bianliang like to drink morning tea, real morning tea.
Have a cup of tea and breakfast in the morning, and then go to work.
Compared with ordinary people who don't care about current affairs, people in Bianliang must know something about it because of the existence of newspapers.
So after various government decrees were issued yesterday, well-informed people came early to talk about them.
But unfortunately, because this new policy involves so many aspects, the relevant departments only know the changes within their own departments and have no idea about the situation in other departments.
Therefore, everyone only has a partial understanding of it.
Just as all kinds of gossip were flying around the tea stall, the sound of "ding-ling-ling" was heard and many people looked over.
That was not the sound of bicycle bells, but the sound of newsboy bells. They waved the newspapers in their hands and shook the jingle bells in their hands to attract the attention of passers-by.
After everyone looked over, they shouted, "Newspaper sellers, newspaper sellers! Great Song Daily, breaking news! The Constitutional Council issued 139 changes yesterday, covering over 30 departments and touching upon every aspect of the government!"
"Wow, there have really been big changes."
"Buy it and take a look."
"Here, give me one."
"I want one too."
Immediately, the tea drinkers asked for newspapers.
Although the population of Bianliang has increased dramatically, the sales growth rate of Bianliang Daily is actually becoming increasingly difficult.
The reason is that a large number of the immigrant population are migrant workers, and only a very small number are merchants who come to Bianliang. In the absence of a large-scale literacy campaign, there are only so many people who can read.
