Chapter 71 is finally out. If you want to see it, just look back.
The next day.
The final version of the banknotes was officially confirmed.
However, Li Er wanted to officially implement it on the first day of the new year, which was the first day of the second year of Zhenguan.
Lin Hao did not care. In any case, Li Er's things were up to him.
However, he reckoned that this was the result of the remonstrance of the Tang officials.
"Would you like a set of Great Tang New Coins?"
Lin Hao tempted Yang Aiguo.
"Do I still need you to play tricks?" "We've kept a set for everyone, and the version that we didn't pass before." Yang Aiguo said unhappily.”
"D * mn, you guys actually did it secretly. Why didn't you tell me anything?”
Lin Hao said angrily.
The Great Tang New Coins definitely had a great value to them.
This was a new chapter for Xia Hua and the Great Tang.
It was worth remembering.
It was natural for him to collect a set.
"By the way, how's the newspaper going?”"Can we discuss it at the official meeting tomorrow?" asked Lin Hao.”
"The machine is already in place and can be released at any time. The Great Tang has also found an office, but the specific content of the newspaper still needs to be discussed.”
Zhou Cheng, who was in charge of this matter, said," After all, this is the first time a newspaper is published in the Tang Empire. The content must be shocking, guiding, and accurate. It can't be published casually."”
Yang Aiguo and the others nodded in agreement. Lin Hao asked,"Have you confirmed the name of the newspaper?"
Zhou Chengyi smiled and said," Let's call it the Tang Empire Daily. Li Shimin wanted to call it the Tang Empire Royal Daily. After all, the bank is also called the Tang Empire Royal Bank!"”
"However, after being persuaded by Fang Gong and the others, the Great Tang Empire's daily newspaper is the responsibility of the Imperial Court, while the Great Tang Empire's Imperial Daily is the responsibility of Li Shimin's internal court.”
"I have to say that Li Shiming has grasped the main point this time. The newspaper has the right to speak on both sides!”
Everyone understood.
The Tang Empire Daily was a national affair. Li Er could publish anything he discussed with the ministers, but his right to speak would be limited if he wanted to argue with the ministers.
However, it was different for the Royal Daily of the Tang Empire. It was published by Li Er alone.
It was an important way for him to express his right to speak, to be able to penetrate deep into the hearts of the people, and to show that he was close to the people and loved the people.
"Alright, let's discuss the details tomorrow.”"Where's our newspaper?" Don't tell me there isn't?"
"Yes, the Great Tang branch of China Daily!”
"It will be released on the same day as the Tang Daily.”
"Yes."
……
After a morning of discussion, the Ministry of State Development and Transformation decided on the content of the first newspaper.
The initial plan was to publish 10,000 copies.
They were mainly targeted at the scholars of Chang 'an.
In terms of content, the first page was Xia Hua's visit to the Great Tang, the second page was the defeat of the Xiongnu, and then the Great Tang and Xia Hua joined hands to fight against the snow disaster. The National Development and Transformation Ministry eradicated the five great clans and their significance.
In addition, there was a loan of 300 billion yuan, a notice of the release of banknotes, and so on.
After a series of events, the entire newspaper was finally published.
The Xia Hua Daily was similar, but from a different perspective.
Li Shimin's Royal Daily was the same.
Soon, after confirming the content of the newspaper, it was published in Chang 'an the next day.
"Selling newspapers!"
"Selling newspapers!"
"One coin for one serving."
"The Tang Empire Daily, the Tang Empire Royal Daily, and the Xia Hua Daily are all two copper coins.”
There were people running and selling newspapers on the streets and alleys.
There were also specialized sales locations.
Scholars and students were the most enthusiastic about this kind of thing.
Because of the court bulletin, scholars and students could not access it, but this newspaper was different. It could actually be read by the public.
Of course, three for each person.
"Xia Hua? Is this a foreign country?"
" Didn't Chang 'an City welcome them on the streets? That group of people in neat robes should be Xia Hua's people."”
"Our Great Tang has made friends with Xia Huajian.”
A scholar shouted," Look at the last part. The establishment of diplomatic relations between the Tang Empire and China is of great significance. It marks the integration of the Tang Empire and China. From the daily lives of the people, food, clothing, housing, education, medical care, science, technology, and culture, we will carry out comprehensive changes and improvements.”
"The country is rich and the people are strong.”
Another student shouted," There's also the one from the China Daily. They said that establishing diplomatic relations with the Great Tang is a major breakthrough in the history of diplomatic relations. It has extraordinary significance and has created world history.”
"They will spare no effort to help the Emperor and the people of the Great Tang, improve the basic living facilities, raise the living standards of the people, and help the Great Tang enter a new era.”
"His Majesty's newspaper also mentioned the intention of establishing diplomatic relations. He believes that this is the greatest opportunity the Great Tang has encountered since its founding and that it will certainly advance hand in hand with Xia Hua to create a future.”
"Look at the back. Do you still remember the battle at Weishui River? At that time, Chang 'an City only had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. The two hundred thousand Turkic soldiers threatened Chang' an City. Chang 'an City was under martial law and was in danger. It was Xia Hua who helped us defeat the assault and win.”
"There's also the snow disaster."
"What does this loan mean?"
"Isn't there? Xia Hua is providing funds, equipment, and technology to improve the situation of the Great Tang.”
"Paper money is going to be issued too?"
Scholars and scholars were all discussing this matter. Xia Hua had finally appeared on the stage of Great Tang history with the image of turning the tide. Everyone knew about it.
"The Five Surnames and Seven Wangs were eliminated by His Majesty?”
Whoosh!
It was as if a basin of cold water was suddenly poured on a piece of iron that was burning, and it instantly exploded.
The previous news had not been announced, and the news from the north could not reach Chang 'an at this time.
Now, countless scholars were petrified when they saw this report.
Five surnames and seven surnames.
In the hearts of these people, his reputation was too high.
It could be said that countless scholars yearned for it and it was not an exaggeration to regard it as a holy land.
Who wouldn't be proud of marrying the daughter of the five great clans? Who didn't marry into the five great clans? Even if they were concubines, they would be proud of it.
But who knew that it would happen this winter.
All of them had been eradicated.
His Majesty ordered Lin Hao, the head of the Ministry of National Development and Transformation, to wipe out the five great clans decisively.
" Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Some scholars seemed to have gone crazy and started shouting.
Some of the old teachers even muttered to themselves in a daze.
"The country will not be a country!"
"The country is about to fall!"
Chaos.
Chang 'an Fortress was in complete chaos.
The destruction of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs had a huge impact on this group of elite aristocrats.
Their respect for the Five Families and Seven Wangs was far greater than their respect for the Emperor.
In front of the Emperor's reprimand, they dared to disobey and risk their lives to rebut, but in front of the Five Families and Seven Wangs, they followed the rules and were extremely respectful. Their every word and action were regarded as classics.
But now, the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs were gone.
It was as if his faith had collapsed.
The world had been overturned and lost its direction.
"Impossible!"
"How could the Five Families and Seven Wangs be destroyed?"
" Haha!" an old scholar with disheveled hair shouted." The noble families have stood tall for thousands of years and their reputation has been passed down for hundreds of generations. How can they collapse so quickly?"”
"Heresy, heresy.”
Similar situations occurred everywhere in Chang 'an.
Scholars go crazy, scholars go crazy.
Xia Hua's appearance, his victory over the Turks, and the snow disaster in the north were far less important than the destruction of the Five Families and Seven Wangs.
The Golden Guards were out on a large scale, capturing these crazy scholars everywhere.
"This is the scholar that you will promote in the future.”
Lin Hao and Li Er stood in a restaurant and looked at the situation on the street outside."Think about how biased these people will be towards the five surnames and seven surnames after they enter the court.”
Li Er's pupils constricted, and he was shocked.
Just thinking about it made his back turn cold, and he was still afraid.
The status of the five surnames and seven Wangs in the hearts of scholars far exceeded his expectations.
"Fortunately, we managed to eliminate the snow disaster this time. Otherwise, if we were to make a move in the future, even if our Xia Hua helped, there would be a river of blood.”Lin Hao continued.
"Phew!"
Li Er let out a sigh of relief and calmed down. He said,"If the news spread today and Chang 'an Fortress was like this, what chaos would it be if the whole world knew?”
Lin Hao said calmly,"There's no hurry. Let the bullets fly for a while. There are still many diehard loyalists of the five surnames and seven Wangs. If you want to eradicate them, you have to uproot them. You have to bring out the mud."”
"Let the matter ferment for a day. Tomorrow, the newspaper will determine the five surnames and seven Wangs 'identities and describe in detail their evil deeds, snowstorms, and so on.”
Lin Hao nodded and said to the students in one direction,"Do you see those students who are watching from the sidelines, unmoved, and even watching the show?”
There were more than ten students standing there, divided into several groups. They stood at the side and watched indifferently.
"They are…!"
Li Er frowned slightly." Judging from his attire, he shouldn't be from a wealthy family."”
"These are the disciples of the Humble Class." Lin Hao said faintly,"It's extremely difficult for them to advance. It's hopeless for them to enter the sect. It's difficult to ascend to the heavens."”
"If you can't find a noble person, you can only waste your life and become a common person.”
"You're saying that I can rope in this group of people and attack another group of officials and aristocratic children?"”
"Yes and no."
"What do you mean?"
Lin Hao smiled and said,"You can rope in these poor scholars, but they are definitely not your greatest reliance. They say they are poor, but it's better to say that their families have fallen. In essence, they are much richer than ordinary people."”
In ancient times, the term " Humble Class " did not refer to the students born in the lower class, but to the children born in families with lower social status.
In ancient times, reading was an extravagant hope, and books were not something that the people at the bottom could provide for.
You can't even eat your fill and you still want to study?
Nonsense.
The so-called Humble Class, no matter how down and out they were, they still had education and could take the examination.
They were also much stronger than the commoners at the bottom.
They were on a completely different level from the lower-class people.
"Your greatest reliance is those commoners who can't afford to study or go to school.”
"Only by spreading education will we be able to provide the imperial court with a steady stream of fresh blood. Only then will we be able to completely break the monopoly of knowledge by the aristocratic families.”
"In that case, the aristocratic families? Nobles? Everything would become a fleeting cloud.”
"Xia Hua, can everyone study?”Li Er asked.
"Of course. There are only those who don't want to study. There's no one who can't study.”
The farce in Chang 'an was still ongoing.
Instead, it was getting more and more intense.
After Li Er returned to the palace, he summoned Zhangsun Wuji and the others to discuss the situation in Chang 'an today.
Obviously, Li Er's killing intent had not subsided.
It was to let Zhangsun Wuji and the others watch from the sidelines and not interfere.
When this heated battle became more and more intense, more and more people jumped out to cry out for the injustice of the five surnames and seven looks, singing the final hymn.
Zhangsun Wuji and the others felt a chill in their hearts.
This time, His Majesty not only targeted the officials involved in the court, but also the scholars.
At that time, blood would probably flow like a river.
The next day.
The three major newspapers were published again.
The headlines were about the disgusting crimes of the five surnames and seven Wangs.
It took up two-thirds of the space.
Even the rest were about the victims and the wronged.
This move was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. It completely tore down the extremely ugly faces hidden under the masks of the Five Families and Seven Wangs.
"A disciple of the Lu family forcefully snatched a commoner's daughter and forced her family to be destroyed. She did not stop, causing her family of five to be exterminated. In the end, she was suppressed and blamed. She said that she could not seduce her and committed suicide in shame!”
"The Wang Clan's scions have invaded the land and plundered it…”
"Young Master Zheng…"
"Cui Corporation…!"
"Li Consortium…!"
The latest crimes were all committed by the direct descendants of the five families.
Then, they used their power to suppress everything. If it wasn't for this leak, no one would have known until now.
"Hah!"
"What a joke!"
"This is the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs?"
"This is the aristocratic family that scholars are proud of?”
"What's the difference between such an inhuman person and a beast in human skin?”
The newspaper appeared.
It sounded like a battle cry.
The Humble Class scholars, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, suddenly stood up and spat at the scholars who were wailing for the five surnames and seven Wangs.
On the same day.
There were hundreds of fights in Chang 'an.
It was all because of this.
"See, these are the Humble Class scholars. They see hope. With the collapse of the Five Families and Seven Wangs, there will be countless opportunities. How can they miss them?”
"This is also a show of sincerity to you, Old Li.”
Lin Hao said with a smile,"In the future, we must leave enough space to continuously report their crimes. In time, after these contents spread to the world, it will be like Chang 'an."”
"Some people say that you are a bad ruler, and some people sing praises for you and applaud.”
"You don't need to do anything. Someone will help you deal with them.”
"Scholars and students can be divided and disintegrated.”
"They will fight for their own interests.”
Li Er only spoke after a long time,"Nothing can kill a person more than this!"”
"No, this is a method."
Lin Hao corrected him,"There are only appropriate and inappropriate methods to resolve conflicts.”
Li Er shook his head with a bitter smile.
Who would know that they were the ones being used?
"You should think about how to arrange the vacant positions in the Imperial Court.”
"Oh, should you give out the military medal of the battle at Weishui River?”
"The soldiers have been waiting for this to happen and have almost forgotten about it.”
Li Er said," Soon. Apothecary and the others are at the border. The snow is blocking them and they can't come back for the time being. At that time, I can also give out military medals."”
"Are you also going to give General Li and the others a medal of honor?”
"Didn't I learn this from you, Xia Hua? Honor is the most important thing. Of course, I can't give you less than what you deserve.”
After Li Er finished speaking, he changed the topic and said,"Lizhi has been talking about your handsome brother recently. When are you going to meet him?”
Lin Hao immediately raised his hand as if he was facing a great enemy."I'm too busy right now.”
"Let's go, let's go first."
