Chapter 360： What is the newspaper?

After breakfast the next day, Gao Wen took out the plan he had written the night before and let Herti read it again.

It is a plan, in fact, it contains much more detailed content than the plan - Gao Wen not only writes in the plan the plan for the preparation of the newspaper and the manpower and material resources required, but also explains what is used in a large space. It’s the newspaper, and what is the meaning of the newspaper, and finally there are a lot of things like the problems and solutions that the newspaper might encounter...

There is no way to write the plan in such detail. This is the lesson learned from Gao Wen’s discovery. The biggest problem he has to face when he proposes a new concept in this world is not whether people will Accept, because he has the status of a founding ancestor, and there is a fighting power that can blow any dog ​​on the ground, so he never has to consider the execution of his own words. The real trouble is that many people don’t necessarily Can understand what he is describing.

To propose a brand new concept product, he will propose more new terms to describe it, and these new terms may also be explained in more languages, and some things that he deserves should be in this People in the world of the era may seem to need two or even three layers of "translation" to understand what it is. After encountering such problems several times, he has to write a copy every time he proposes something new. Detailed information and explain the basic concepts and functions of such new things in the information.

This of course will take a lot of time in the early stage, but it saves the effort of he and everyone to explain the new things, and has a clear information for circulation, and can avoid these things being passed by hand. Then there was a deviation, so that the final realization was a deviation of his expectations.

"Newspaper?" Hetty took a serious look at the information that the ancestors handed to her. She is now familiar with this kind of information, and knows that whenever her ancestors come up with such a thing, they must work hard to understand one. An unprecedented but surprising thing, but this time the ancestors proposed things that are more different than usual - this does not seem to be a new magical machinery, nor a new management concept, but an extreme... Cheap...books?

"You can understand that thousands of copies of the contents of the town center bulletin board are printed, and some contents such as common sense of life, new things inside and outside the territory, price changes, and knowledge of science are added to it. Time-sensitive readings," Gao Wen explained, and by the way explained the meaning of the three words of timeliness. "Timeliness means that the above content is recent, and only valid in the near future, the time is long. It will lose its usefulness. For example, the price of cereals in the last two days is a time-sensitive message."

Heti thoughtfully understood the words of Gao Wen, and the amber that began to stroll in the restaurant after eating and drinking suddenly came over and looked at Gao Wen with a look: "Wow - you are After killing the pharmacists, alchemists, and miners, they finally decided to kill the intelligence dealers inside and outside the territory?"

Gao Wen was stunned by the sudden appearance of this guy: "What is this information trafficker?"

"Is this nonsense? You printed this information on this thing called 'newspaper'. Obviously you want to monopolize the intelligence business. I still learn from you." Amber shook his head and said, "You really don't leave a little life for others!"

"If these things in the newspaper can also be regarded as intelligence..." Gao Wen listened to the amber words and shook his head in a dumbfounding. "Well, then I am going to kill this so-called 'intelligence dealer.'"

"The role of the newspaper is to enable people to understand the new things around them more quickly, and to help spread popular science knowledge, general education, and to publicize the new rules and systems of the Office of Government Affairs, and to strengthen the discourse power of the rulers of the Territory..." Hetty didn't care about Amber's war, but seriously looked at what Gao Wen wrote. She could understand every word on it, but she couldn't imagine why the newspaper would have such a big role. Ancestors, isn't the bulletin board in the town not playing this role?"

"Yes, but the limitations of the bulletin board are too big," Gao Wen shook his head. "Our population is increasing, the city is getting bigger and bigger, and relying on bulletin boards to spread information. The efficiency is obviously too low. And there is one more point." - The number of people who read on the land is getting more and more. Being able to read means that they have a stronger ability to receive knowledge and learn skills. The amount of information that the bulletin board can provide to them is far from enough."

Herti suddenly thought about what she reported to Gao Wen yesterday. She tried to ask: "Is this... also related to improving the security environment?"

“Yes,” Gao Wen nodded slightly. “Reading can make people understand and understand. The more things you know, the more people can think rationally and get rid of ignorance. I know that many nobles in this era think that Civilians are born and barbaric, so they will fight and gamble, but in fact no one is born and barbaric. They just lack the correctness of the day after tomorrow and the correct way to consume energy."

Amber slid to reach Herti, and looked at the head and looked at the information written by Gao Wen. She suddenly looked up and asked: "But then... you are really obsessed with letting the civilians know." Many things 'ah... is this really necessary?"

Gao Wen smiled: "Of course it is necessary - I will not only let the people live warm, I want them to live and understand, let them know why they can live a good life, and why they have been hungry in the past. Only when they are frozen can they sincerely support Cecil’s new order and identify and condense the land."

Amber raised his eyelids, and the amber scorpion was curious: "Your thoughts are really different from others."

"I know that no lord has ever considered this aspect before, because they feel that civilians are a weak and dull and ignorant group. As long as the sword and the staff are still in their hands, they never worry about the lives and deaths of the civilians. And thoughts, but I never thought so," Gao Wen smiled. "You have seen machines that are controlled by ordinary people in the factory. You have also seen new guns and bombs. You should know that when you use wisdom. After the right place, ordinary people still have the ability to incite the extraordinary - but for thousands of years, no one has ever noticed their power."

At this time, Rebecca, who had been listening to her for a long time, suddenly reacted and squinted at Gao Wen: "Ah! The ancestors and adults understand that the printing machine that you showed me yesterday was used for this purpose. - No wonder you always want to emphasize convenience and editability..."

“It’s really used for this,” Gao Wen nodded. “There are only new presses that can print continuously and quickly make plates, in order to meet the requirements of large-volume and time-sensitive newspapers.”

Rebecca scratched her hair: "Well, the press doesn't know when it will be made..."

"Nothing, don't worry, you can study slowly," Gao Wen said with a smile. "Since there is no way to get it in one step, let's take it slowly. Newspapers, we don't insist on a daily issue. First, we use the method of engraving to start from the weekly issue. For the current territory and the people who have never had cheap books, even the newspapers issued every ten days have great significance."

This world also has the concept of "week", but it is not seven days a week, but according to the legend that the earth in the ancient mythology floated from the ocean within ten days, the week is set to ten days, so that one month and sixty days, it is just right. There are six weeks.

In Gao Wen’s view, the “Daily News” is a good thing, but there is no need to force it in the first place. The traditional Ansu engraving printing technology takes at least two days from carving wax board to making Yangwen mud board, printing paper and drying ink. In addition, the initial experience of creating newspapers is insufficient, and the efficiency is difficult to guarantee. It will take more time, so he will simply launch a 10-day “Weekly Report” based on the calendar of the world, which is perfectly acceptable.

In this era, except for Cecil’s leadership, the development of most areas is sluggish and monotonous. There is hardly any news outside the territory, and given the relatively junior literacy level of the current people, it is too complicated and difficult. The contents of the newspaper are not necessary. Coupled with the fact that the territory is currently so large, the news and changes that have taken place are very limited. It is reasonable to issue weekly reports.

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

“The newspaper is a thing that needs to be issued for a long time, so we need to set up a special department to do this,” Gao Wen saw that Hetty had realized the meaning of the newspaper and went on to say, “The department that issued the newspaper can be called 'News', in theory, if the newspapers are developed in the future, and even the private sector has private newspapers, we have to set up a special management department in the Office of Government Affairs to deal with cultural propaganda matters, but at the present stage, a direct The newspapers controlled by the Administrative Office are sufficient. The newspapers should have editors responsible for the contents of the newspapers, as well as 'reporters' who collect news, and..."

Gao Wen explained the whole story of Lin Lin. In fact, these things were also mentioned in the materials he gave to Herti, but after he personally explained it, Herti understood it more easily.

"This can be done by some learned people," Herti squinted and began to think about the candidates in this area. "There are certainly no such people in the civilians who have just learned to read and write... Santis brought back Those scholars can be considered."

"Those kings are scholars..." Gao Wen indulged for a moment, "What do they say now?"

"Some of them have already gone to school to teach, and it is said that the performance is not bad. After all, it is after the screening and filtering of Santis. It is very suitable to come here. There are also a group of followers who follow Jenny and Carmel to learn the rune logic." Rebecca balabala said, "There are some at the Magic Technology Institute, they are very interested in the magic engine - I told them that it was the "lost ancient technology" that my ancestors took out, they learned one by one. They are all sleepless and forgetting. There are still a few people who have not been assigned."

Gao Wen’s mouth curled up: “It’s quite good, I’m worried that those Wangdu people will not adapt after coming here.”

"Adapted well," Rebecca smiled. "There are new things everywhere, and everything is enough for them to study, and many things are still bearing the name of 'Lost Ancient Technology', let alone those. Scholars, those who are official mages and mages apprentices, are now honest, I am afraid that I will not let them into the laboratory. Of course, I think the main reason is that they see Carmel all the way with lightning. Run around in the territory, they are all stunned..."

Gao Wenxuan looked at the topic and went off. He quickly pulled back: "Cough, well, then pick a few people from the scholars of Wangdu to prepare for the first newspaper of Cecil." This matter will be handed over to you."

Herti collected the thick piece of information and lowered her head deeply: "Please rest assured."
