Fang Jun snorted and asked, "How much compensation does the Yuan family plan to pay?"
Dugu Cheng was overjoyed, thinking that Fang Jun had lost his temper, so he said: "One stone of corn, one bolt of silk, and five hundred copper coins."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Fang Jun looked up to the sky and laughed so hard that tears flowed out.
Dugu Cheng was startled and looked confused.
What's wrong with this guy?
Fang Jun burst into laughter, which made the servants and maids in the hall tremble with fear. Could it be that Erlang was going to get angry?
After a while, Fang Jun stopped laughing and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. His voice was slightly hoarse. He held the blood-stained paper in his hand, imagining in front of his eyes the father-in-law of the Ding family who crashed to death in Jingzhao out of despair.
The tragedy in front of the house, imagining the desolation and sorrow of the old lady Ding who was helpless and blinded by crying, imagining that the two beautiful sisters of Ding were killed alive and buried alive, how desperate they were when they were dying.
Fear, how cruel and vicious the servants of the Yuan family are...
For a long time, Fang Jun raised his eyes expressionlessly, looked at Dugu Cheng, and said word by word: "Go back and tell Mr. Yuan that you can forgive God's sins, but you can't live if you do your own sins! In this case, Jingzhao Mansion will
I will go all out to investigate. If it is confirmed that the matter is indeed as described in the petition, I will personally recover this blood debt for the Ding family! Even if his Yuan family is the pillar of four dynasties and is a thousand-year-old family, I will still abide by the laws of the country.
,Severe punishment without mercy!”
Traveling from an era that placed great emphasis on life to the Tang Dynasty where the lives of untouchables were like trivial matters, Fang Jun's world view and outlook on life were greatly impacted!
He is not a saint or a wise man. He will go with the flow and do crazy things like wiping out the entire Lu family. His bottom line is also being corroded and changed bit by bit by this era, but he cannot imagine a life.
How can an empire that does not receive attention be able to last forever, how can it satisfy people's aspirations, and how can it open up the world?
Three lives are worth one stone of corn, one bolt of silk, and five hundred dollars?
Very good, he wants to make the Yuan family pay the price and let them know that the value of human life is by no means so low, even if it is just a mere slave and untouchable!
Dugu Cheng smiled bitterly.
He knew that Fang Erbangchu would never bow to Yuanshi, and the price offered by Yuanshi was even more insulting.
It's not an insult to the Ding family. Such a pariah is not even qualified to bear the insult of the Yuan family. It is Fang Jun who is insulted!
After all, Yuan still never took Fang Jun seriously...
"Fu Yin, this matter..."
Dugu Cheng wanted to persuade him a few words, but was interrupted by Fang Jun as soon as he started speaking.
Fang Jun had a cold face and gritted his teeth: "The Tang Dynasty has been established for a long time, and now it is prosperous and prosperous. Every progress and every bit of strength of the Tang Dynasty requires countless people of the Tang Dynasty.
To fight, to struggle, to create! And in such a time when everyone is working together to create an unprecedented prosperous era, there are still people who dare to take human lives and hinder His Majesty from achieving eternal hegemony. What do they want to do? Do they want to overthrow the Tang Dynasty, or do they want to
Revenge against Your Majesty?"
Dugu Cheng was stunned.
Can you still say that?
He finally knew where the gap between himself and Fang Jun was. Fang Jun was better than him in that he could connect two unrelated things in a logical way, giving people a sense of justice.
The feeling it should be.
But can the matter of sacrificial burial subvert the Tang Dynasty?
Can it hinder His Majesty from achieving eternal hegemony?
Isn't this nonsense...
Even if all the nobles in the world were buried alive after death, how many people could be killed?
*****
As soon as Dugu Cheng left, Fang Jun entered the palace in a carriage and asked to see His Majesty Li Er.
"Establish an organization in Jingzhao Mansion to control public opinion and publish newspapers?"
His Majesty Li Er knitted his eyebrows and looked at the son-in-law in front of him who seemed to be unwilling to stop for a moment and would always come up with some fantastic ideas from time to time.
It's a bit sad...
It is true that he hopes that Fang Jun can stand on the front desk and directly confront the Guanlong Group, but Fang Jun is also a restless boy, and he will always cause some unexpected situations that catch him off guard.
"What is a newspaper?"
His Majesty Li Er asked again.
In the opinion of His Majesty Li Er, Fang Jun's thinking is too unconstrained. Many of his ideas may seem simple, but in fact they are full of hidden mysteries. Unexpected consequences can often be achieved through simple and unpretentious methods. Without thinking about it, His Majesty Li Er is neither
Dare to refuse easily, let alone agree haphazardly.
"It's something like a newspaper, with similar effects."
Fang Jun replied.
His Majesty Li Er became increasingly puzzled: "Since we already have the Di newspaper, what's the use of your so-called newspaper?"
Public opinion management has existed since ancient times.
During the Han and Tang dynasties, the official newspaper was basically the dominant one. The "Dibao" in the Western Han Dynasty was probably the earliest paper media with the function of information carrier in China. In the Sui Dynasty, it was called "fantiao". For example, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty commended
Gongsun Jingmao, the governor of the state, was specially given the title of "Enter the Fan". In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the official newspapers had many names, such as "Dilizhuang", "Jinzouyuan Report", "Chaobao" and so on.
Generally speaking, the content of ancient official newspapers was very simple. They only published the emperor's travels, sacrifices, edicts, appointment and dismissal of officials, and matters of princes and ministers.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were two different carriers: "Dibao" and "Jinzouyuan zhubao". The former was run by the imperial court, while the latter was compiled privately by the local state office in Beijing. In other words, the latter
It has the characteristics of simple information selection and review. However, this model of "reporting to the court" would not appear until the Kaiyuan period...
Fang Jun explained: "The Di Bao is an official issue, and the things recorded are all major events such as worshiping the heavenly ancestor, the appointment and dismissal of officials, the appointment and dismissal of royal titles, etc. It is the mouthpiece of His Majesty. It is as steady as a mountain and cannot be frivolous in the slightest."
The newspaper you want to start is different. The content published and distributed may be leaked from the government, plagiarism from the market, or the fabrication of opinions."
His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "Isn't it nonsense and confusing the public?"
"How can this be nonsense? Just like the newspaper, the task of the newspaper is to open the eyes of your majesty, inform the people of your majesty's wishes, say what your majesty wants to say, and think what your majesty thinks, then the world's public opinion can be
Your Majesty is in control!"
"Oh? If so, you can give it a try..."
His Majesty Li Er thought it was good, but he looked at Fang Jun suspiciously, always feeling a little uneasy in his heart, and asked: "What are your plans?"
Fang Jun pondered for a moment and told the story of the Yuan family burying the Ding family's two daughters.
His Majesty Li Er remained silent.
anger?
There must be some, but it is definitely not serious. It is not that His Majesty Li Er is cold-blooded, but that such things as burial have existed since ancient times. Although the "Zhenguan Law" explicitly prohibits any form of living burial ceremony, the ritual has been passed down for thousands of years.
Can customs be easily changed by just one law?
Moreover, once you target the Yuan family, you will challenge all the noble families in the world!
His Majesty Li Er wanted to eliminate the family members, but he never thought of such a direct confrontation.
In a word, the overall situation is the most important thing!
Fang Jun could obviously see His Majesty Li Er's hesitation and could understand His Majesty Li Er's thoughts. After all, he was an emperor who grew up among aristocratic families. No matter how open-minded he was, he would inevitably be tainted by the bad habits of the aristocratic families...
"From birth to adulthood, how many illnesses, accidents, and hardships does a person have to go through, and how much effort does it take to be a parent? Everyone looks forward to their children with the most sincere love. When a man grows up,
The ancestors can be honored and the women can marry a good family and have a happy life, but who would want their children to be buried as sacrifices? At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the three expeditions to Goguryeo were defeated. The bones of the sons of the Han family were piled up in the mountains and rivers of Liaodong. Thirty-sixth Road
The seventy-two anti-kings fought endlessly in the Central Plains. How many sons were stained with blood on the battlefield, and how many heroes were buried in foreign lands? At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Nuo Da's territory had countless magnificent mountains and rivers, but only a few million people. Could it be that
Every time His Majesty sacrifices to heaven, isn't he sincerely praying for the prosperity of the people in the world, the multiplication of livestock, and the prosperity of the population of the Tang Dynasty enough to cut off the population? And what are those aristocratic families doing? They are burying living people! This is not just
It is a waste of human lives, and it is a disaster for the country and the people! If the trend of burials is not eliminated, how can the Tang Dynasty be strong and prosperous for hundreds of generations? How can the empire rule the world?"
Fang Jun was impassioned. He was not fighting alone at this moment. He was like Hitler in the Munich tavern, Washington taking the oath of office in the White House, Napoleon who was about to be exiled to St. Helena... all possessed by their souls!
