After breakfast the next day, Gao Wen took out the plan he had written the night before and asked Hetty to read it.

It is called a plan, but in fact it contains much more detailed content than the plan. Gao Wen not only needs to write the plan for preparing a newspaper and the manpower and material resources required in the plan, but also needs to use a lot of space to explain what a newspaper is and what the meaning of the newspaper has. Finally, there are also a lot of things such as problems and solutions that may be encountered in preparing a newspaper...

There is no way to write the plan so detailed. This is the lesson learned by Gao Wen since he opened the coffin. He found that the biggest problem he had to face when he proposed a new concept in this world is often not whether people will accept it. Because he has the identity of a founding ancestor and has the ability to destroy the dog head of any person in the territory. Therefore, he never has to consider the execution of his words by the people around him. The real trouble is that many times people may not necessarily understand what he is describing.

To propose a brand new concept product, he has to propose more new nouns to describe it, and these new nouns may have to be explained in more language. Some things that he thinks are natural to him may need two or even three levels of "translation" to understand what it is. After encountering such problems several times, he has to write a detailed information before each time he proposes a new thing and explains the basic concepts and functions of such new things on the information.

Of course, this will take a lot of time in the early stage, but it saves the effort of him and everyone to explain new things in the future. There is also a clear information for people to circulate, which can also prevent these things from being deviated after being passed on several hands, so that they will deviate from the expected deviations when they are finally realized.

"Newspaper?" Hetty carefully read the information handed to her by her ancestors. She is now familiar with this kind of information, and knows that whenever her ancestors take out such a stack of things, she has to work hard to understand something unprecedented but miraculous. However, this time the things proposed by the ancestors are even more different from usual - this does not seem to be a new magic machine, nor a new management concept, but a...extremely cheap... book?

"You can understand it as printing thousands of copies of the things on the bulletin board in the town center, and adding some content such as common sense of life, new things inside and outside the territory, price changes, popular science knowledge, and ultimately forming a cheap, time-consuming reading," Gao Wen explained, and also explained what the word time-sensitive meaning of the word time-sensitive. "Time-sensitive means that the content above is recent, and only valid in the near future will be useless over time. For example, the price of grain in the past two days is a time-sensitive information."

Hetty understood Gao Wen's words thoughtfully, and Amber, who had eaten and drunk enough, suddenly came over and looked at Gao Wen with surprise: "Wow—you are forcing those pharmacists, alchemists, and miners to death to death, and finally decided to kill the intelligence dealers inside and outside the territory?"

Gao Wen was stunned by the sudden appearance of this guy: "What's the matter with intelligence dealers?"

"Isn't this nonsense? You print all this information on this thing called 'newspaper'. Obviously you just want to monopolize the intelligence business - I've learned the word monopolize from you," Amber said with a shaking head, "You really don't leave any way for others!"

"If these things in the newspaper can also be regarded as intelligence..." Gao Wen understood Amber's words and shook his head laughed and cried, "Okay, then I'm going to force this so-called 'intelligence dealer' to death."

"The function of newspapers is to allow people to understand the latest things around them faster, and at the same time it helps to spread popular science knowledge, general education, and publicize the new regulations and systems of the Government Affairs Department, and enhance the discourse power of the rulers of the territory..." Heti did not care about Amber's interruption, but looked at what Gao Wen seriously. She could understand every word on it, but she could not imagine why the newspaper would have such a great role. "Ancestor, does the bulletin board in the town have no such function?"

"Yes, but the limitations of the bulletin board are too great," Gao Wen shook his head. "Our population is increasing, and the city is getting bigger and bigger. Relying solely on bulletin boards to spread information is obviously too low. And there is another point - more people who recognize words in the territory are getting more and more, and being able to read means that they have stronger ability to accept knowledge and learn skills. The amount of information that bulletin boards can provide them is far from enough."

Hetty suddenly thought of what she reported to Gao Wen yesterday, and she asked tentatively: "Is this... also related to improving the security environment?"

"That's right," Gao Wen nodded slightly, "Reading can make people recognize the truth. The more things they understand, the more people can think about problems rationally and break free from ignorance. I know that many nobles in this era believed that civilians were born barbaric, so they would fight, drink and gamble. But in fact, no one was born barbaric. They just lacked acquired corrections and the correct way to consume energy."

Amber reached behind Hetty, and looked at the materials written by Gao Wen as if he was decent. At this time, he suddenly looked up and asked, "But then... are you really persistent in letting the civilians 'know more'... Is this really necessary?"

Gao Wen smiled: "Of course it is necessary - not only do I want to let the people live a full and warm life, but I also want them to live a clear life, let them know why they can live a good life, and why they were starved and frozen in the past. Only in this way can they sincerely support Cecil's new order, and identify with this land and cohesion."

Amber raised her eyelids, and her amber eyes were curious: "Your idea is really different from others."

"I know that no lord has ever considered this before, because they think that civilians are a weak and stupid group. As long as the swords and staff are still in their hands, they never worry about the lives and thoughts of civilians, but I never think so," Gao Wen smiled. "You have all seen machines controlled by ordinary people in factories, and new guns and bombs. You should know that when wisdom is used in the right place, ordinary people still have the ability to shake the extraordinary--but no one has noticed their power for thousands of years."

At this time, Rebecca, who had been listening to it for a long time, suddenly realized and stared at Gao Wen with his eyes: "Ah! Master Ancestor, I understand. It turns out that the printing machine you asked me to watch yesterday is for this - no wonder you have always emphasized convenience and editability..."

"It's really for this," Gao Wen nodded. "Only a new printing press that can continuously print and quickly make plates can meet the requirements of large-scale newspaper distribution and strong timeliness."

Rebecca scratched her hair: "That's over, I don't know when the printing press will be made..."

"It's okay, don't worry, you can study it slowly," Gao Wen smiled and waved his hand. "Since there is no way to get it done in one step, let's take it slowly. We don't force newspapers to issue one issue every day - we can first use woodblock printing, starting from one issue every week. For the current territory and the leaders who have never had cheap readings, even newspapers that are published every ten days have great significance."

This world also has the concept of "week", but a week is not seven days. According to the legend of the earth floating from the ocean within ten days in ancient mythology, a week is set as ten days. In this way, a month is sixty days, and there will be exactly six weeks.

In Gao Wen's opinion, "daily newspaper" is good, but there is no need to force it if it cannot be realized in the early stage. The traditional Ansu woodblock printing technology takes at least two days from carving wax plates to making Yangwen clay boards, and then printing paper. In addition, inadequately, the ink is not experienced in establishing newspapers and difficult to ensure efficiency, so one issue of newspapers will take more time, so he simply launched a ten-day "weekly newspaper" based on the calendar of this world, which is completely OK.

In this era, except for the Cecil territory, the development of most areas is slow and monotonous, and there is almost no news to speak of outside the territory. Moreover, given the relatively basic literacy level of the territorial population, it is too complicated, and the difficult newspaper content is unnecessary. In addition, the current large area within the territory, the news and changes that have occurred are very limited, so it is very reasonable to issue weekly newspapers.

If there is really any special news, you can also issue "outside the number".

"Newspapers are something that needs to be distributed for a long time, so we need to set up a special department to do this," Gao Wen saw that Hetty had realized the significance of the newspaper, so he continued, "The department that distributes newspapers can be called a 'newsman'. Theoretically, if the newspapers develop in the future, and even private newspapers are private, we will also set up a special management department in the Government Affairs Department to handle cultural propaganda affairs. However, at this stage, it is enough to first establish a newspaper directly controlled by the Government Affairs Department. There should be editors in the newspapers responsible for newspaper content, and there should be 'reporters' who collect news, and... "

Gao Wen explained all the things, but in fact, these things were also mentioned in the information he gave to Hetty, but after he explained them personally, Hetty could understand them easier.

"This requires some knowledgeable people to do it," Hetty rubbed his eyebrows and began to think about the candidates in this regard. "There are definitely no talents in this regard among the civilians who have just learned to read and write... The group of scholars brought back by Santis can consider it."

"Are those scholars in the capital..." Gao Wen pondered for a moment, "What are they doing now?"

"Some of them have already gone to school to teach, and they are said to have performed well. After all, they are after Santis's filtering and filtering. They are very adaptable to it. There are also a group of people who are learning rune logic from Jenny and Carmier," said Rebecca balabala. "There are also some at the Institute of Magic Technology, who are very interested in magic engines - I told them that it was the "lost ancient technology" taken out by my ancestors. They all learned it day and night. In addition, there are a few people who have not assigned it."

Gao Wen's lips curled up: "It's pretty good, I'm also worried that those royal people will not adapt after coming here."

"I'm adapting well," Rebecca smiled. "There are new things everywhere here, and everything is enough for them to study. Many of them are also known as "lost ancient technology". Not to mention those scholars, even those formal mages and mage apprentices, they are now honest, afraid that I won't let them go to the laboratory. Of course, I think the more important reason is that they saw Carmier running around the territory with sparks and lightning, all of whom were shocked..."

Seeing that the topic was about to go astray, Gao Wen quickly pulled it back: "Ahem, okay, then select a few people from the scholars of the capital to prepare for the first newspaper that Cecil was given. Heti, this matter will be left to you."
