"It doesn't matter. [Read the latest chapter] The big library has deleted the plot about the relationship between Mingjiao and Ming Dynasty. It's nothing.
Zhu Baba's plot has also been completely revised, so there won't be any taboos. "Zhao Yingong said, "It's just that the plot is a bit stiff and it reads really strange. "
Zhou Dongtian nodded. The export of books to the Ming Dynasty was not so much about making money as it was the need for external propaganda work - exporting new concepts of science and technology, values, and cultural concepts, promoting the "Australian way of life", and disrupting the minds of the people and intellectuals of the Ming Dynasty. , and subtly engage in "peaceful evolution". Although this approach cannot change the face of the entire society, it can at least plant the seeds of "pro-Australia" in the minds of some people. Cultivate a group of "road-leading parties" to reduce resistance to future social reforms.
However, exporting books involves the social and historical background in literary and artistic works and the diffusion of technology in popular science works. Zhou Dongtian knew that there had been a huge debate within the Senate in order to determine which types of scientific and technical books should be exported and which technologies must be restricted and kept secret. Some elders believe that no technology should be exported, while others believe that spreading some basic scientific knowledge will promote the entire cause.
Zhou Dongtian believes that the current European missionaries are vigorously using the export of European science and culture to attract some knowledgeable people within the Ming Dynasty to believe in Christianity. In contrast, Australian products are often seen as "Kit Kat", and many people show a strong interest in Australian science and culture, which is superior to Western technology. If you keep secrets just for some illusory "threats", you will only misunderstand them. These people are shut out.
Of course he does not agree with the unlimited diffusion of technology, but there is no harm in spreading a lot of scientific knowledge. For example, the "Beginner's Theory of Light" printed this time seems easy to understand to the elders, but in this time and space, it is definitely high-tech. In the old time and space, this popular science book was targeted at "readers with a junior high school education in urban and rural areas". Readers of this level are rare, if not unique, in this time and space.
For similar popular science books, Zhou Dongtian was in favor of printing more and selling more. In the 1960s and 1970s, many popular science books and agricultural science and technology series were compiled for rural youth and educated youth. Many of them could be published and sold to the Ming Dynasty. go. Although most of their final fate is to be regarded as some kind of "wonder books" and hidden in libraries that are not easily visible to anyone.
The spread of some simple knowledge and technology will not pose any threat to the Senate under the current conditions. Under the material conditions of the agricultural age, much of the knowledge and technology that spread was completely useless. Because the social environment has no possibility of realization at all. On the contrary, many people who are interested in studying this will find that the only place where they can truly realize their ambitions and ideals is Lingao...
As for some technologies that are practical in the current social environment, such as scientific farming and breeding, they are only good for Lingao, because the Senate has a strong demand for agricultural products. From this point of view, the improvement of Ming Dynasty's agricultural technology is only good for time travellers.
Export limited technology and export a large amount of culture. This is the diffusion route determined by the Senate.
"After these books are sold, there should be more demand." Zhou Dongtian said with a smile, "I think comics will be very lethal. In fact, the number of Jin Yong's books that we can pirate is still limited. It is not as good as piracy in large quantities. Liang Yusheng, Chen Qingyun and others, and by the way, there is also the Master of Huanzhu - the Sword Immortal novel should be more appealing to people of the Ming Dynasty, right?"
The two discussed the next step of publishing business. Zhou Dongtian and other veterans will return to Lingao soon. He plans to continue this cultural invasion in Lingao.
"The next group will be the veterans of Operation Engine. There is a constant flow here. It will be more tiring."
"This is my job." Zhao Yingong said, "I plan to arrange for these people to go to Phoenix Villa. There is no need to arrange for them to enter Hangzhou. If Zhang Dai goes out to spread the word, Qinghefang will soon become a A lively cultural salon. It would be better for the elders to stay away from each other."
"Of course. Of course. Have you established your underground organization now?"
Zhao Yingong was a little confused, but he quickly understood that Zhou Dongtian was talking about a secret organization that had nothing to do with his public identity and the Shanhai system.
"The Black Dragon Society system? I haven't started it yet - this is a very dangerous job, and it requires strong indigenous executors to operate effectively." Zhao Yingong said, "People are too strong to control; people are not ruthless enough. , it’s useless.” He asked, “What are your plans?”
"A few days ago, a telegram was sent to me from Lingao."
Zhao Yingong nodded. The telegram was received by the radio station of Hangzhou Station, but it used the password of other departments. He did not know the content. Only the header stated that it was received by Zhou Dongtian.
"Actually, the content is very simple. It's about Zhu's propaganda..." Zhou Dongtian said, stroking his beard. The so-called "special propaganda" is a "slang" invented by Zhao Manxiong, which essentially means "spreading rumors to attract the public".
The work of "special propaganda" has been launched in Guangzhou since the victory of the second anti-encirclement and suppression campaign. The Guangzhou Station distributed a large number of "special propaganda" pamphlets, using anecdotes and various "truths" to shake the social foundation of the Ming Dynasty. .
Facts have proved that sex and politics have always been popular content for the masses. Although this kind of propaganda article cannot change any reality in a short period of time, the proliferation of "truth" after the large-scale distribution of pamphlets shows that this method is still effective. One characteristic of agricultural society is that news is mainly spread by word of mouth. The more sensational, the faster explosive news spreads. Moreover, neither the government nor the gentry have sufficient means to refute rumors. Oftentimes, rumors can only be allowed to dissipate on their own.
However, the dissemination of this method must be carried out by a secret organization, and it cannot be done by a "public figure" like Zhao Yingong. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the foundation of Hangzhou Station will be destroyed. Therefore, we must resort to organizations like the "Black Dragon Society" that specialize in low-level work.
Zhao Yingong planned to take advantage of the drought in Zhejiang from ｜63｜ to ｜632 and take advantage of the relatively chaotic social order to establish the underground organization of the Black Dragon Society. Of course, specific organizational personnel will be sent from Lingao. Hangzhou Station only maintains a single line of contact with this organization.
"The brochure can be printed here. I'm going to set up a small printing shop in Fenghuang Villa, and use a few engraving and printing craftsmen to do this. Let the traffic officer bring the original copy, and I will print it quietly. Transport it out and hand it over to the Black Dragon Society for distribution. What do you think?"
"That's good." Zhou Dongtian smiled, "I know that the publishing steering group organizers have concocted a lot of messy stuff, which is basically a three-in-one combination of sex, politics, and lies. I've read a few of them, and they're really interesting. Creativity…”
"Oh? Who wrote it all?" Zhao Yingong was curious. He had seen a pamphlet of the so-called "truth document" at the Foreign Intelligence Service before setting off. Well-written.
"It was a man named Zhang Haogu who did it." Zhou Dongtian said, "Don't you know him? He currently holds the title of Director of the Office of Truth in the Great Library. He is responsible for all the books you sell in Ming Dynasty. Review revised.
"Zhang Haogu? This name sounds familiar, but I can't remember who he is..."
"Sneeze!" Zhang Haogu sneezed loudly and picked up a handkerchief to wipe his nose - Lingao does not have such luxury goods as handkerchiefs. The only household paper produced in batches is straw paper for wiping buttocks and specially used for medical treatment. Structure and women's toilet paper. It was not inconvenient for the long-disappeared daily necessities like pure cotton handkerchiefs to reappear in the lives of the elders. Anyway, there were female servants who helped them wash their clothes and handkerchiefs every day.
He looked at the manuscript paper in front of him, which was filled with densely written words - Zhang Haogu has his own computer, but in order to save its operating life, he only needs to perform some more important tasks; such as "search"ˉ" It will only be used when doing work such as "Replace" and "Keyword Search".
"Finally, it's almost finished." He stretched lazily. After stretching my sore wrists, there was a pile of thick manuscript paper on the purple wooden table. According to regulations, the nibs of a dozen broken dip pens had to be sent back to the warehouse to get new nibs. A finely crafted inkstand, a European product bought from Macau.
Zhang Haogu picked up the manuscript on the table - written on the cover were the words "Memories of an Imperial Physician from an Imperial Hospital". There is a thick stack of manuscripts, about more than 300,000 words, which took a lot of Zhang Haogu's hard work. In order to write this book, he also asked Liu San many questions to ensure that the concepts of traditional Chinese medicine in the book were correct.
Zhang Haogu was a veteran who studied literature, history and philosophy, and his major was rarely reused in the Senate. Hanging around in the big library for a long time.
However, he took a unique approach and wrote to the Executive Committee specifically on historical issues, proposing that from now on, he must systematically "create history" and "control history." He proposed that this department be called the "Ministry of Truth" to reflect that truth from ancient times to the present is in the hands of the Senate.
This proposal received "high attention" from the Executive Committee, and Zhang Haogu was offered the position of director of the newly established Truth Office. However, after he took office, he found that his main job was to work for the "Publishing Steering Group". This non-permanent organization, composed of Ding Ding, the representative of the Ministry of Culture, Yu Eshui, the representative of the Great Library, and Zhou Dongtian, the director of the printing factory, has to compile and publish a large number of books and pamphlets. It originally needs to be "sterilized" to remove inappropriate parts. , Zhang Haogu, who took the initiative to deliver the goods, became the best labor force. (To be continued.! .
