Chapter 468 War on paper

Shacheng created the first residence newspaper office in Yao State. This pioneering work has an inseparable relationship with Yazdan.

Strictly speaking, Yazdan was the initiator of the Di Baoguan. He received strong support from Shacheng Apostle and Mayor Slymode, and this institution was established quickly and smoothly.

The director of the mansion newspaper was concurrently held by Slymode. When Bai Ding joined the office, there was 1 chief editor and 29 interviewers in the library. These wind collectors are like the eyes and ears of the newspaper, all over Shacheng and Yao.

Any important news will be sent back to the newspaper in various forms as soon as possible, and then become a newspaper report.

One month after Baiding served as Yazdan's assistant, the first newspaper was finally published in Shacheng.

This newspaper named "Shacheng Mansion Newspaper" is made of raw-edge paper made of bamboo. The front is smooth, the back is rough, and the color is more beige.

Due to the entry of a large amount of bamboo from Zhulu Country, the price of raw edge paper in Shacheng is extremely cheap, and it has even gradually become an important commodity for export. This kind of paper also gradually replaced straw paper, which was rough and had many lines, straws and confetti sticking together.

The change of paper material and technology and the reduction of cost constitute the basis for the popularization of newspapers and mass printing.

In the first issue of "Shacheng Mansion News", there are two newspaper headlines.

Famous physician Funeral announced the latest discovery: Drinking hot water can significantly reduce the incidence of illness

"The leader of the shell people, Ke Yuan, angrily denounced the opponents in the tribe, saying that he will vigorously rectify the corruption of the tribes"

These two big news have affected Shacheng for a long time.

The former changed the eating habits of Shacheng people.

In the past, water sources outside the city were often polluted by shell cockroaches, and residents would suffer from some strange diseases after drinking it.

Under Shacheng's unremitting advocacy and promotion, boiling water has gradually become a local consensus. Later, this habit was adopted by cities including Yaocheng and Yancheng.

The second is the report of Yazdan and Baidin.

The shell people in the news are a new species after the evolution of shell cockroaches.

Shellman has an intelligence close to that of troglodytes, with a thin body and can walk upright, but they only carry a heavy shell.

According to biologists and archaeologists, the reason for the birth of Shellman is that some shell cockroaches went deep underground, found the bones of dragons, and evolved after ingesting them.

Shellman has two major talents.

One is that they can curl up into their shells and fall into a state similar to hibernation. They can go without food or drink for a year or two to survive the difficult external environment.

Secondly, they are born slave owners of shell cockroaches. Shell people can direct shell cockroaches to search for tools and materials everywhere, allowing them to create underground caves and passages in the desert, and build underground villages.

At that time, the chief interviewer Yazdan officially interviewed the shellman chief [Keyuan], he is the leader of all shellmen, ruling thirteen shellman tribes and a huge territory.

Ka Yuan is short and thin, with a slightly flat head and hair that shoots up into the sky. But these are not hair, but the tentacles of the shell people, which allow them to feel the temperature, humidity and vibration of the air.

The shell on his back is more like a pair of natural armor. The shell-like taupe armor protects Keyuan's back and chest, making him look quite mighty.

The most uncommon sense is that Ke Yuan is also wearing a pair of gemstone gogglesthis is a very fashionable tool and decoration even among the Yao people.

Goggles are an improvement made of glasses. Emeralds, sapphires or crystals of various colors are polished and polished to protect the eyes from glare from the sun. This is very useful in the sand city with strong light, but the price remains high.

Hui Yuan, wearing emerald glasses, sat on a stone chair and talked with Yazdan in his underground castle.

"I am very glad that Chief Keyuan accepted the interview from the Di Newspaper Office."

Yazdan said in his slightly dull voice: "The first question I want to ask is, what is your belief, Chief?"

"I am a devout and firm supporter of God Yao."

The other party gestured his hands and said with a smile: "We learn the characters and language of the Yao people. Most of the shell people know it. Don't be surprised. Many people say that the shell people don't believe in gods and are atheists. I say that is nonsense and has ulterior motives." rumors. We shell people are a race created by Lord Yao, we have always and will always support the fire of faith of Lord Yao, this is an unshakable thing.

Bai Ding was surprised to find that the chief's Yao language was very fluent. He thought that he had a lot of dealings with Yao people in the past.

The chief got up and pointed behind him: "You two, please follow me."

Bai Ding and Yazdan followed all the way, and found that the spacious space behind was actually an imitation of the temple, and almost exactly the same statue was built.

In the center is the **** Yao who transcends all gods, and on the left and right sides are several gods.

Around the statue, many tributes were arranged around it, mainly gems and bones of various creatures.

We will worship God Yao here and pray to the gods.

The chief touched the emerald glasses, and Biazdan showed a more normal smile on his thin face: "It can be said bluntly, if the world is facing destruction, we will be Lord Yao's believers who stick to it until the end, and we will Keep the fire of faith in the midst of destruction, and wait for the new life bestowed by the gods in deep sleep."

Bai Ding realized firsthand that the savages in the eyes of Shacheng people are not ignorant and barbaric. Shell people started late, they live in the harsh desert, they have the same **** belief as Shacheng, and they also have their own unique culture, tradition and pride.

Finally, Chief Keyuan said: "The Ke people have lived in the desert for a long time, and they are a new nation. We learn from the Yao people. Of course, we must also retain our traditional customs and existing geographical foundations..."

Yazdan nodded: "Understood."

Bai Ding couldn't help remembering that the shell people have a very barbaric custom.

If there are extremely weak people in their clan, they will be stripped of all resources and expelled, and the shell people who have lost the protection of the group will fall into a long sleep. Even if he wakes up again, he will be extremely weak, without the help of his kind, and without the energy to command the shell cockroach, which is tantamount to a long death.

Bai Ding couldn't help asking: "Chief, this custom is..."

"Oh? That one."

The chief said indifferently: "If it can't bring help to the ethnic group, then there is no need to support it. This is the norm in the desert."

"In fact, we are much more merciful now. In the earliest days, we would directly kill the seriously injured and weak old people. Now we have given them a chance. If they have courage and wisdom, or have the blessing of Lord Yao, then they There is also a possibility of survival.

"It's not easy for anyone to be alive, is it?"

Ke Yuan grinned, spread his hands and said: "Don't look at me now, there are many people staring at my position as the chief. Maybe I will be expelled tomorrow? I also have to rectify various problems in the clan, with your help In other words, corruption, corruption, too much."

"The resources in the desert are difficult to support too many shell people, so we want to cooperate with Shacheng. The inside of the city belongs to the people of Shacheng, and the desert outside the city belongs to the shell people. Everyone is brothers, and they all believe in Yao God and are equal. "

Seeing the finalized text, Bai Ding was taken aback: "Mr. Yazdan, is this a good photo?"

"What's the problem?" Yazdan asked back.

"In this... report, you said that Chief Keyuan hated the problems within the clan very much, and wanted to completely rectify the simple customs of the past in the clan, clean up the black sheep, and killing the weak is a local tradition..."

Bai Ding stammered and said: "In this way, isn't it equivalent to forcing many Shellman tribes who oppose Chief Keyuan to attack him? In this way, the Shellman tribe will fall into internal chaos and even war."

"This is a fact."

The chief interviewer was expressionless: "Isn't it?"

"Can"

Bai Ding gritted his teeth and said: "This is wrong. It will harm Chief Keyuan and the entire Keyuan clan."

Yazdan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said ah: "What I want is your role. Bai Ding, you mean, if I write like this, people of the Yao nationality will hate it?"

"No... It's just that Chief Keyuan will be roasted on the fire. The Keyuan people will not be able to bear it, they will be angry, nervous, and afraid."

"Then it's all right."

Yazdan said lightly: "Bai Ding, we are the reporters of the Yao people. We only need to consider the feelings of the Yao people. The Yao people want to read such reports, right? This is beneficial to the Yao people."

"Our newspapers serve the Yao people, and what we write on them are all facts."

"There are conflicts and disagreements among the shell people themselves. If any situation arises, it will only advance the process. No matter who wants to win, they need to ask Shacheng for help, and among them there is only the final winner , are qualified to further dialogue with the Yao people."

"This is what we have to do, investigate, collect evidence, report, and then benefit the Yao people."

"Reports have no position, but journalists do."

We don't provoke right and wrong, we just observe right and wrong and report them.

Yazdan put it very bluntly.

Bai Ding was stunned when he heard this, and his pricked ears became stiff for a while.

Yes.

What Yazdan wrote are all facts, what Chief Keyuan said.

But only a small local adjustment is needed to tilt the entire report in a certain direction.

The first issue of "Shacheng Mansion Newspaper" was released, which attracted wild snapping by Shacheng residents.

On the 7th day after the newspaper was released, a riot broke out among the tribes of the Kemen, and the chief of the Keyuan was killed in the rebellion. It was later confirmed that the tribal leaders were afraid of being liquidated after reading the newspaper, so they united to attack Keyuan.

Shacheng quickly dispatched an aid team to stabilize the internal order of the shell people, help them carry out various constructions of underground villages, and impart various knowledge and skills to them.

Many shell people came to work in Shacheng, and the guests who stayed in their hometown built underground post stations and villages in the desert. On the ground, there are ghost towers as landmarks, which are completely integrated with Shacheng.

In just one year, the shell people have been assimilated and integrated by the inside and outside of Shacheng, and the chief tribe system that has been maintained for many years has been completely shattered.

Bai Ding saw all this, and couldn't help feeling horrified.

The function of "Shacheng Di Bao" is not only to publish news and notices.

It remembered what Yazdan said.

You alone can be a thousand troops.

That is not flattery and politeness, but a statement of the facts of responsibility.

The newcomers can really appreciate it.

The collision and conquest of the new era is no longer just a head-on collision between soldiers and troops, but more of a hidden war hidden behind the words in newspapers.

Soon after, Yazdan told Baiding.

"Get ready, we're going to Saniro for an interview."

"There's a serial murder over there... We need a report to reduce panic."

Yazdan said: "The murderer is a jade rabbit. It comes from Crystal City and is from your hometown. You will be the main force in this operation, and I will cooperate as your assistant."
