Placed in front of Mr. Qing is an ink printing press the size of a wooden box. This thing was a rarity in the Qing Dynasty but in Europe. This kind of printing machine that engraves wax paper has begun to gradually become popular.
In an era when computers were not yet widespread. Students should be impressed by the ink press. Because at that time there were various test papers and review materials in the school. They were all carved out of wax paper by the teacher.
The principle is simple. A piece of wax paper covered with a thin layer of industrial wax. Use a stylus to lightly draw on it. The force cannot be too much or too little. A successful piece of wax paper should be able to penetrate the ink perfectly without breaking.
When the wax paper is carved. Put it on the printing press. Use an ink roller to apply the paint. A test paper appeared that gave children a headache. One more roll and the nightmare of the two children will begin. Back and forth, children in a school are about to face a final exam.
This is already the simplest printing tool that Xiao Letian can think of. It seems that in the past, the underground party used this wax paper ink printing machine most often to print leaflets and so on.
"Baby. This is my treasure. I want to seize the public opinion high ground with Qingliu and the others. It's up to you." Xiao Letian stroked the wood grain on the printing press. It's as gentle as touching your lover.
Mr. Qing was dumbfounded. His thinking can also understand what is already on the ground in the Qing Dynasty. This kind of machine that appeared out of thin air was completely unfamiliar to his memory bank.
"Printing press. What do you want to print? Isn't there a bookstore to print things? Why do you bother to do this kind of thing... Oh, what kind of ink is this? It will be updated as soon as possible..."
"Come here. Print two copies for Third Master. Let him see the diorama. Open his eyes..."
A young man from a foreign company. Open the machine and install the wax paper. Brush the roller up and down. A piece of Xiao Letian's Seven Questions printed with ink appeared in front of him. Third Master Qing held the piece of paper with trembling hands. A flash of lightning suddenly flashed in my mind.
"I understand. You...you are going to start a scolding war with Qingliu. How many leaflets can you print in a day?"
smart people. This is a smart person. Chinese people are inherently smart. All they lack is a little insight. No matter what others do. Anyway, these were the first to come into contact with Xiao Letian. And people who are willing to open their hearts and eyes to see the world. Their thinking has quietly changed.
That's it. If you show it to rotten scholars like Huang Juren or Huang Liu. They couldn't even imagine what Xiao Letian was going to do.
"That's right. My dear third master. What have the Confucian disciples relied on to control people's hearts for thousands of years? It's not just the web of public opinion they weaved. All the people are caught in it. It's not just bullying the people who are illiterate. It's not that big. I'm going to poke a big hole in their network today. I want to see if it's their mouth that's more powerful. Or it's the industrial power in my hands..."
"To tell you the truth. This kind of printing press has a simple structure. A carpenter can produce one in a day. And I bought a whole cabin of ink and wax paper. It will last me more than three years. Don't worry, Third Master. It won't be used. Three days. The printing volume of leaflets in one day can reach 40,000 to 50,000. There is absolutely no problem in fighting a fierce battle here in Zhili..."
"This is just the beginning. When the mechanical printing press I ordered from Europe and the United States arrives, I will be able to produce a million copies a day. I can print thousands of copies of "The Journey to the West" a day. Anyway, I have plenty of money. . I can give it away for free..."
"This is not over yet. I want to be the first to introduce foreign newspapers to the Qing Dynasty. I want to penetrate the imperial newspaper system into the people. I want to give the people another channel to understand the world. I always let these scholars Cheated……"
Fu Qing broke out in cold sweat. He doesn’t rub sand in his eyes. I figured everything out in a flash of my mind. "Brother, you are crazy. Please come to more and faster chapters. You are forcing the court to deal with you. Don't you want your life?"
What Fu Qing said was not wrong at all. If Xiao Letian dares to do this, he will be fighting for a mouthpiece with the imperial court. How could the princes in the court allow a man with an opposition status to talk nonsense uncontrollably? What's more, he also possesses such terrifying printing power.
It's like two groups of people quarreling. It's all about who has the loudest voice. A lie told ten thousand times will naturally become the truth. Xiao Letian didn’t mean to say this ten thousand times. He has to say it a hundred thousand times.
Xiao Letian sneered twice, "I don't want my life. Haha. Who forced me to go to Liangshan? Please explain to me, Third Master, my seventh question. You are a nobleman of the Eight Banners. How do you think the court should respond to my questions." "
"I, Xiao Letian, want to keep my peace and be an obedient citizen. But there are always some people who jump out and force me. I can tolerate beating and scolding me. But now they have begun to kill me. They have also extended their poisonous hands to my inner house. You said What should I do? Just let them kill me honestly. Third Master, you just want me to be such an obedient citizen..."
Fu Qing blushed immediately, "There must be a misunderstanding... There must be a misunderstanding..."
"Okay. Third Master, please stop talking. Your butt is sitting on the court's boat. You must consider the interests of the court. Tell the truth about everything you saw. If you want to kill me, Xiao Letian is waiting. . But I would like to advise the court. Starting today, I, Xiao Letian, will not give in even a step. If you want to make things bigger, then make things bigger. I will stay with you to the end..."
Xiao Letian's tough declaration does not need to be conveyed to Beijing by Mr. San. The big shots in the capital already knew it. The flyers began to appear around 11 a.m. that morning. At first no one cared. Even the scholars who protested regarded it as a piece of paper wiping their ass off. Take it as a sign of weakness from Xiao Letian.
But it lasted until after afternoon. A strange atmosphere began to permeate the capital. There is only one reason: Xiao Letian has too many flyers.
Wherever people gather. There are mysterious figures posting big-character posters. There were handfuls of leaflets fluttering in the wind. Those long lines of demonstrations. Please come to more and faster chapters. Now each one of them is like a long funeral procession. The flyers flying all over the sky are like pieces of paper money.
The cold wind carried the flyers flying in the air. The whole team was filled with the sound of paper being slapped in the face. After a while, these scholars lost their patience. No more shouting slogans, just tear it apart.
"It's insulting to gentlemen. Xiao Letian is so disrespectful to paper. Did he deliberately use such disgusting words to insult us? Tear it up. Tear it all up..."
A group of scholars swung their hands in the air and snatched the flying leaflets like madmen. It was as if it was Xiao Letian's flesh and blood. But I didn’t expect that there would be much more thrown away than torn apart. In the end, everyone was as tired as a dog sticking out its tongue, unable to stop those elusive flyers.
"What does Shuntian Mansion do? Why don't we catch people like this who are deceiving people with walking leaflets." The scholar cursed one after another.
But they really wronged the government officials of Shuntian Mansion and the soldiers of the Nine Admirals. It's not that they don't want to arrest people, but that these people are too cunning. The city was full of guerrillas. The huge city of Beijing cannot be defended at all.
Time passed minute by minute. It was after three o'clock in the afternoon. The demonstrators and the tired government officials and soldiers were all too hungry to stand it. Many people were so dizzy due to the cold wind that they might have to lie down tonight.
"My classmates and peers. The court has heard our voices. Let's give it up for today. Go back and take a rest. If the court doesn't give us an explanation in two days, please come to more and faster chapters. Let's come out to demonstrate again... this The evil devil is our life and death enemy. Either he dies or we die. We will fight him to the end..."
"Yes, yes...it's all gone..." The crowd finally dispersed. The entire Sijiu City has calmed down for a while.
Just when everyone thought this chaos would subside for a while. He never expected that Xiao Letian would become more energetic. This scolding war actually escalated for him.
All in one night. There were big-character posters everywhere in the capital. Even the walls of the Forbidden City have posters of people of all ages. There is also Prince Gong’s Mansion. When the concierge opened the door in the morning and saw it, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground. The gate and courtyard walls were covered with hundreds of big-character posters of Xiao Letian's Seven Questions.
Moreover, they sent fast horses to the suburban counties around Beijing early in the morning to ask for help from Shuntian Prefecture. It turns out that just last night, Xiao Letian's seven questions appeared in all the counties, towns and larger villages under the jurisdiction of the capital. Even the gate of the government office has been taped up.
Now the court is in a state of panic. They finally smelled danger. Wait until the afternoon. The Governor-General's Office of Zhili sent an urgent emergency document to the court. The Forbidden City was completely destroyed. The impromptu court meeting held in the Yangxin Hall has become a hot topic.
"Rebellion. This is rebellion. Take a look. Take a look, all of you. All the counties in Zhili have been covered with Xiao Letian's posters. Even the larger villages and towns have not been spared. Wherever there are crowds of people, Some people are throwing flyers. Is Xiao Letian trying to make the matter known to everyone?"
"From south to north. From east to west. There is no county in Zhili that has not fallen. Now all the people know about the riot in Tanggu. How should we explain Xiao Letian's problem? Who will make up for the confusion among the people. "
Prince Gong's angry roar came from Dongnuan Pavilion. The suffocated prince stared at Weng Tonghe. During this time, I have experienced the anger of scholars. Beaten before. The gate of the mansion was surrounded. Isn’t this all caused by this group of scholars?
Weng Tonghe felt as if he had broken the five-flavor bottle. From the moment I saw the flyer yesterday. His mouth was full of bitterness. I never expected that Xiao Letian's counterattack would be so ruthless. The knife went straight to the vital point of the Confucian businessman. What can scholars kidnap the imperial court? Isn't it just to control public opinion? If this special skill is lost. Who would keep these hunting dogs?
"Stay steady. I want to stay steady. Xianxue has encountered many crises for thousands of years. We will definitely get through it safely this time." Weng Tonghe is worthy of being an emperor's master. This kind of quiet and nourishing energy is very rare. He should be the one who said that he didn't change his expression when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
"Haha. Your Majesty is going to put the responsibility on the scholars in the world. This means you have to give in to Xiao Letian. That's right. We are all the royal eagle dogs. Whether it is a show of learning or a Western learning, which one should I use? .”
"Since the prince thinks that Western learning can help the court control the people's hearts, then just use it liberally. It's just a matter of dismissal from office and going home to farm. I have already been mentally prepared."
"But I have a piece of advice for you, Prince. Wait until the sky collapses and the earth falls. Don't regret it..."
