What this scholar said was immediately echoed by a large group of people! Because Li Ke's words touched their sore spot, most of the scholars present were married and had children.
"I know you don't like these articles, but when making an article, it depends on the audience!" Li Ke interrupted the scholar with a wave of his hand.
"Think about it, what is our purpose for these Datang Weekly newspapers? The broad masses of people are tens of millions of ordinary people in Chang'an City. Many of them are literate, but have they read books? No! You quoted the classics and wrote them The article is sharp enough, but they...can't understand it!"
"And do you think ordinary people can understand such vernacular writing?" Li Ke looked at everyone and asked.
"Of course, isn't this just for those uneducated people? As long as they can read, they can understand it." A scholar nodded immediately.
"That's right! What we need is public opinion! When the overwhelming public opinion in the world gathers into one force, Datang will be invincible!" Li Ke nodded seriously.
"I understand." These scholars instantly understood that these articles were not for these scholars, or in other words, the main audience group was not for these scholars, but for the general public.
In fact, many of these people are literate. After all, although there is a threshold for literacy, living in Chang'an City, as long as you work hard, you can still know a few words.
But knowing words and reading books are two different things.
This was especially true in ancient times.
And such vernacular articles are almost the same as the common people's daily speech. Of course, they can understand the meaning once they read it. No need for anyone else to translate at all.
"You guys read the article first." Li Ke waved his hand. Of course, this article was not a simple disparagement of Murong Fuyun, the leader of Tuyuhun, but there was a lot of truth in it.
Many scholars immediately lowered their heads and looked up.
When they read the back part, they were all surprised, because at the back of the article, from Tuyuhun's many evil deeds, they analyzed the necessary points for the Tang Dynasty to fight against Tuyuhun, such as strategic locations!
For example, after capturing Tuyuhun, Datang had a high-quality military horse farm that was free from harassment in the Qilian Mountains between the north of Tuyuhun and the Hexi Corridor! There used to be a military horse racing farm set up by Huo Qubing, the champion of the Han Dynasty, and it was still in use until the Tang Dynasty.
Even the military horse farm still exists more than a thousand years later!
Finally, it was also analyzed that by occupying Tuyuhun, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would integrate their experience in fighting in some plateaus, mountains, and wilderness, which would be of great benefit in preventing Tubo! And by controlling Tuyuhun, it can also deter Tibet to the south, and deter the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions to the west.
The whole situation is analyzed in detail, all in vernacular, but even ordinary people can understand it! More importantly, these important national situations are related to the daily lives of the people. For example, controlling Tuyuhun means that the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty can become the corner of the Hexi Corridor, and the Western Regions will have no worries, and the Western Regions will have no worries. Longyou Road, Guannai Road and other hinterlands will not be invaded.
Naturally, the people live and work in peace and contentment.
This article was naturally written by Li Ke. This kind of article should not be too simple from the perspective of future generations.
The main thing is that Li Ke deduces the process from the results, which is naturally very easy.
"Your Highness, this article is indeed brilliant. It uses the most straightforward words to analyze the entire situation in detail. It will definitely win the support of many people." A scholar couldn't help but said Chen Canda.
"That's right." Li Ke nodded with a smile.
"But these are not your main battlefields!" Li Ke smiled and denied what they said.
"What do you mean?" Everyone was a little confused. Wasn't this what they were asked to write?
"This is what you want to write." Li Ke took out a stack of paper from the side and handed it to the scholars.
They all took it with some curiosity. Compared with the newspaper just now, this piece of paper was more ordinary. There was no title at all, it was more like a handwritten font, and the content on it was very simple.
Just say that in a certain city in Chang'an City, a certain widow got together with the man next door. Although there were not many words, the plot was so full of ups and downs that even these scholars couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
At the end of the article there is a signature: Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng.
"Ah...what are you doing, Your Highness?" These scholars were all dumbfounded.
"These will be posted in every corner of Chang'an City like notices. Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng below is a code name I gave myself. You must also give yourself a code name. You can't Use your real name." Li Ke said lightly.
“These will be posted together with the weekly newspaper when it goes on sale.”
"This..." Everyone understands it, but no one understands what it means.
"You don't need to understand, you just need to understand that this is the most important way for you to prove yourself in the future. Whether you can be knighted in the future depends on this! So you can use various means to go among the neighbors in Chang'an City Ask around, or write your own! But it's not limited to this kind of story, you can write any anecdotes." Li Ke smiled.
As soon as they heard about the knighthood, everyone's eyes lit up! This... everyone looked at each other and did it! Anyway, I’m using a code name, not my real name, so what’s there to be afraid of!
After the explanation, Li Ke stopped talking nonsense and arranged a suitable environment for each of these scholars, near the printing factory, so that the content could be adjusted at any time in the future. However, this printing factory is not a printing factory in an industrial zone. It is the printing factory located in Shuwangzhuang.
April 1, the ninth year of Zhenguan, is destined to be a day worth remembering for all scholars of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ke specially chose today, mainly because he had a prank heart. In future generations, April 1st will be April Fool's Day.
But when this day came, Li Ke felt it was boring. Hey, the bad taste that no one knows is so boring! No, he wants to lift his ban. It would be so boring without Chang Sun Chong to fight!
Li Xiaojiu is in high spirits today, not only because he is wearing brand new clothes, but also because he has an important task today! In other words, they once had more than a thousand beggars, and all the beggars over the age of five had an important task, which was to help His Highness the King of Shu!
In just ten days, His Highness the King of Shu captured the hearts of these beggars. No one has ever been so kind to them! They had enough to eat, warm clothes, and good sleep every day. They also had a dedicated master to teach them how to read, but they never asked for anything from them.
All the beggars seemed to be in a dream, and they were deeply afraid of waking up from such a dream. Many beggars came to ask if there was any work they could do every day.
When the person in charge told them that they didn’t need to do anything, they felt at a loss and always felt uneasy.
So these beggars took the initiative to clean up all the weeds in the camp every day, and then cleaned all the places that should be cleaned. If anyone dared to be lazy, a group of people would beat him to death! But the place is only so big, and if you take the initiative to find work, you can finish it in two days.
They have been anxious to come here these days, fearing that one day His Highness the King of Shu will not let them do it!
But yesterday there was finally a change, probably because there were too many people asking, His Highness the King of Shu also noticed that they seemed uneasy, and finally found a job for them!
