Seven days later, scholars all over the world spread the rumor that King Wu was cruel and murderous. The hat of a tyrant was firmly pinned on Li Changqing's head.

No matter in this era or in future generations, people are ignorant and are very easy to be guided by fishing boats.

In later generations, whoever controls the direction of the media will control the mouthpiece of the fishing boat.

In this era, the opinions of scholars are the direction of the wind and can guide the fishing boats.

Therefore, the Shandong gentry, the Five Surnames Qiwang, the Guanlong Group and other great scholars denounced Li Changqing as a tyrant in Taiji Palace.

The disciples of these great scholars all over the world also publicized the name of King Li Wu as a tyrant.

The great Confucians did not mention a word about Li Changqing's achievements in annihilating the Turks and opening up three thousand miles of territory for the Tang Dynasty.

Tubo surrendered to Youzhou, offered tribute and marriage, and ceded 300 miles of territory, but they pretended not to know.

They deliberately guided the fishing boat and reprimanded Li Changqing for being cruel and unkind, even killing the old, weak, women and children!

Shape Li Changqing into a murderer without mercy!

Especially under the vigorous propaganda of those scholars, they told that Li Changqing recruited 410,000 troops in Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Jizhou, and went on a military rampage!

He also built the palace of King Wu wantonly, which wasted people and money.

The ignorant people listened to the wind and heard the rain. Gradually, they really thought that King Wu was a tyrant!

……

Youzhou, Tiance Mansion.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui looked at the books in their hands, trembling with excitement!

Paper books have been around for a long time.

What excited them was not the books, but the words on these books, which were engraved with movable type printing!

Ancient books were extremely expensive. The reason why they were so expensive was that they had to be transcribed word for word slowly, or they were engraved using extremely inefficient printing techniques.

Therefore, it is difficult to make books, which leads to high prices. Therefore, poor people who want to study cannot even afford books!

But now, with movable type printing, books can be produced quickly and in large quantities!

Once books can be mass-produced, their prices will inevitably drop significantly.

In this way, books were not just the privilege of the aristocracy.

Children from poor families can also afford books!

Even if all the families in the world are against Li Changqing and do not allow his disciples to go to Youzhou to serve as officials, Li Changqing will not worry about not having talents!

Because, by that time, all the poor families in the world will come to him!

Touching the book in his hand, Du Ruhui bowed to Li Changqing and said in a trembling voice:

"My dear, on behalf of all the scholars in the world, I would like to thank King Wu!

With this movable type printing technology, everyone from poor families can afford books!

Fang Xuanling also said with excitement:"The newspapers that King Wu mentioned before can also be printed in large quantities using movable type printing."

By then, the people of all states and counties will understand the major events in the world and the national policies.

We can also tell how the Turks invaded the border and how they massacred me, making the people at the border miserable and in dire straits; how

King Wu defeated the Turks and opened up three thousand miles of territory for the Tang Dynasty

; how we made Tubo surrender and make peace! Let the people of the world know that the Turks are the great enemy of the Tang Dynasty and must be exterminated!"

However, after the excitement, Fang Xuanling's face was filled with worry again.

"Because the aristocratic family has a monopoly on scholars, its clansmen and disciples are spread throughout the court, prefectures and counties, so it can stand for thousands of years.

The former emperor of the Sui Dynasty was a man of great talent and broad strategy. In order to overcome the constraints of his aristocratic families, he was the first to hold the imperial examination and select talents from poor families to serve as officials.

This move greatly affects the fundamental interests of the family. This was one of the important reasons for the collapse of the Sui Dynasty.

King Wu used movable type printing to greatly reduce the cost of books. A large number of books were printed and sold to poor disciples at affordable prices.

By then, all disciples from poor families will be able to study, and the interests of the aristocratic families will be impacted again.

King Wu is afraid that he will... follow in the footsteps of the Sui Dynasty!"

Fang Xuanling's worries are not unreasonable.

If Li Changqing prints a large number of books and breaks the monopoly of the aristocratic family, so that all children from poor families can afford books and study.

By then, the aristocratic families in the world will definitely attack!

Li Changqing sneered, Said:"He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. If the people's hearts are in the minority, no matter how much the aristocratic family dances, they will be nothing more than clowns."

There are two reasons why the aristocratic family was able to make kings of all dynasties fearful.

First, before Yang Guang proposed the imperial examination system, all appointments in the court were based on recommendation!

Almost all recommended officials were scholars.

But books were expensive and people from poor families were If the disciples are from poor families and cannot afford to buy books, how can they get ahead by studying?

Therefore, the recommendation system has led to the officials from the court to the officials of various states and counties, who are all the children and disciples of the aristocratic families!

The aristocratic families have almost a monopoly on official positions!

Secondly, All aristocratic families have money, and if they have money, they can recruit soldiers. With soldiers and horses, they can rebel! Once

Li Changqing's movable type printing technology comes out, it will be a huge impact on the aristocratic family.

Coupled with newspapers, Li Changqing can rule the world Yulun's mouthpiece.

Whatever news he wants the people to know, the people will know it!

By then, if the newspapers publicize the evil deeds of the Turks and the achievements of Li Changqing, the people of the world will definitely support Li Changqing again. Li Changqing's people's wishes, even if the family wants to recruit troops to rebel , and he couldn't recruit any troops to fight against him!

Li Changqing waved his dragon robe, and the power of the emperor rolled over him, saying:

"Keming! You are ordered to be responsible for the distribution of newspapers in major states and counties."

"Xuanling! Order you to print a large number of books and sell them to poor disciples all over the world"

"promise!"

The two agreed loudly.

Li Changqing added:"The first issue of the newspaper will publish the four outstanding contributions of the Tang Dynasty!"

When Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui heard this, they were shocked. They immediately knew what kind of fame and prestige they would bring if they were selected as one of the Four Outstanding Contributors of the Tang Dynasty and published in newspapers to let people all over the world know about it! At the same time, he bowed to Li Changqing and cupped his hands, his face full of admiration, and he sincerely praised:"King Wu can come up with such a brilliant strategy, I really admire him!"

Li Changqing smiled and said nothing.

Isn't this what the news media of later generations often do.

Movie kings, movie queens, four major actresses, national husbands, national goddesses, the world's top ten most beautiful goddesses, Forbes rankings and other selections , all aimed at increasing the popularity of figures in front of the public and allowing the public to better understand them.

Du Ruhui asked:"King Wu, how should these four outstanding contributors be selected?"

Li Changqing said:"At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the few people swept through the Eighteen Routes to rebel against the king, sweeping the world, helping their father to end the troubled times and unify the country.

He also destroyed the Turks in Langjuxu Mountain, opened up three thousand miles of territory for the Tang Dynasty, and frightened the barbarians in all directions.

As a result, Tubo bowed its head and paid tribute, and ceded three hundred miles of territory.

The first of the four outstanding contributors to the Tang Dynasty, he has done his part!

His father revolted in Jinyang, unified the country, and founded the Tang Dynasty. He should be ranked second.

Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang is the deputy commander-in-chief of the others. She accounts for 30% of the merits of the others and can be ranked third.

The deposed prince Li Jiancheng made great contributions to the south and north, and was ranked fourth."_To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
