Chapter 435: The ancestor of the Japanese pumpkin is Guan Yingying, right?
Xie Zhaozhao and Zhou Shaoyu were quickly aware of the inn's small move.
Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but smile.
These people are really interesting. They don’t think that if I can’t see you, you can’t see me, right?
How could the secret guards of Yulong Kingdom not monitor the posthouse?
Xie's information camp is now in the hands of Xie Rongyu (Xiao Xin).
As soon as Yulong Kingdom was established, Xie Rongyu became her right-hand man, and the country developed more rapidly, and the abilities of its members were far beyond what the original Xie Information Camp could achieve.
The Information Camp was renamed the Xiuyiwei, or it could also be called the Jinyiwei.
Some of the original functions of the Imperial City Bureau were incorporated into the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which focused on spying on the most secret information.
Therefore, in less than half an hour, Xie Rong and all the self-righteous interactions of the five countries in the post house reported to Xie Zhaozhao's dragon case.
Xie Zhaozhao: Am I the ancestor of the Dongli Kingdom?
Stop disgusting me!
You know, according to secret records in history books, the ancestor of Dongli was a dirty man who did dirty things, which led to later generations calling the people of Dongli "dirty people."
Unfortunately, they were very short and the word "羌" was difficult to write, so from some generation on, they started to write it as "wogua".
The ancestor of the squash? Tsk!
She said to Xie Rongyu, "Send someone to keep an eye on the posthouse."
Xie Rongyu said "yes" and left the palace.
Xie Zhaozhao shook her head slightly. The people of Dongli are like mice in the dark. They cannot stand the light and yet they still dream of unifying the world.
She called Bei Chen over and said, "Bei Chen, have someone closely monitor the entire palace. If any foreigners try to do something, don't let them off."
"kill?"
"can."
Bei Chen took the order and left. Xie Zhaozhao said to Yuanyuan, "Call Princess Yurong."
Guan Yingying was imprisoned in a cell in Yongxiang of the imperial palace.
Every time after leaving Xie Zhaozhao's place, Guan Yingying racked her brains to think about the content of the next conversation, because life without computers or mobile phones, books or newspapers, and no one to talk to was too terrible.
She was now eager to talk to Xie Zhaozhao, and every time she wanted to laugh at Xie Zhaozhao as a feudal woman.
Even though she was crushed by Xie Zhaozhao every time, she still enjoyed it.
When she saw Xie Zhaozhao, she knelt down skillfully, picked up the snacks on the small table next to her and started eating.
Xie Zhaozhao looked at her and said, "You seem to have gained some weight? Your height doesn't seem to have changed much, you're still that short!"
Guan Yingying hadn't seen the sun for a long time and had become a lot whiter and fatter. When she heard Xie Zhaozhao say that she was short, she was a little upset.
There is no way. In her past and future lives, as if it were a curse, the bodies chosen for her were all less than 1.5 meters tall.
Standing in front of Xie Zhaozhao, his aura was suppressed completely.
"Guan Yingying, were you a Japanese before?"
"No, I'm a real Dalong countryman..." Guan Yingying suddenly frowned and said, "In the history books we studied, there is no Dongli country or Yulong country."
She muttered to herself, I am not a descendant of the Yulong Kingdom, otherwise, wouldn’t Xie Zhaozhao be my ancestor?
"Guan Yingying, how about you write a memoir of your past life? If it's good, I'll pay you for it."
"If I don't write, or use a pen for a long time, I won't be able to write many words."
"Didn't you read and write in your time?"
"Who still needs to write when there are mobile phones and computers? Internet, computer, mobile phone, or worse, TV, short videos, short dramas..."
Guan Yingying misses that era very much. Although her life was not good then, it was much more interesting than now. With a mobile phone, she could own the world.
“No paper medium?”
"Paper? Are you talking about newspapers? They are antiques from many years ago." Guan Yingying said disdainfully about the newspapers, showing great disgust.
Newspapers are old items from the 20th century. When she came here, not only were newspapers unpopular, but even television was unwatched.
Xie Zhaozhao keenly grasped the word "newspaper". The newspaper, which was extremely backward in Guan Yingying's eyes, was probably once extremely respected!
She said to Yuanyuan, "Bring me some paper and a quill."
Guan Yingying doesn’t know how to use a brush, but her handwriting with a feather pen is pretty good, except that there are many “typos” (modern simplified characters).
Handing the paper and pen to Guan Yingying, Xie Zhaozhao said, "You can draw, right? Draw a newspaper and let's see?"
Guan Yingying asked me why I couldn't draw. I received nine years of compulsory education.
She drew what the newspaper looked like and explained it as she went along.
He asked proudly, "How is it?"
Guan Yingying felt very happy. What if she became an emperor? She was still an ignorant "feudal woman".
Xie Zhaozhao glanced at her for a few seconds and didn't respond.
"Hibiscus cream, can you give me some?" Guan Yingying missed that thing and didn't know why. She knew it was harmful to both others and herself, but she just wanted to eat it.
"No!" Xie Zhaozhao said calmly, "I have ordered that such things are not allowed to enter Yulong Country. If anyone dares to touch it, I will kill all his nine clans."
Guan Yingying shuddered. If she touched the universal elixir, her entire clan would be killed!
"You are really different from before, you are decisive and cruel!" Guan Yingying sighed, "You used to be very dignified, submissive, and listened to men in everything."
"But you haven't changed. You're still the same as before, loving to use the elixir to harm others." Xie Zhaozhao said, "I dare not let you go, otherwise you will still mess with the elixir."
"..."
"I have something else to do, you go back first."
"No, I haven't said enough. You can't just lock me up like this. I know a lot more. I know about water wheels, water pumps, siphons, the principle of levers..."
"I'm very busy," Xie Zhaozhao called Manman over, "Manman, go call Ling Xiang over."
When Manman heard that she was going to call Ling Xun, the corners of her mouth curled up and she responded crisply, "Yes."
Soon, Manman called Ling Xun over.
Ling Xun saluted: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Prime Minister Ling, Princess Yurong has some ideas about people's livelihood. Can you and Manman listen to her and discuss it?"
"..." Ling Xun glanced at Princess Yurong.
Princess Yurong looked at him eagerly, with a somewhat obscene look in her eyes.
"How should I talk to her?"
"Let's talk about flood prevention measures. Remember, it cannot last more than half an hour. Ling Xiang has the right to terminate it at any time."
The Shangsi Festival has passed, and spring drought has occurred in the northwest. Floods may occur in the south in May. It is really necessary to hear how people thousands of years later prevent and control them and learn from them.
Manman and Ling Xun took Guan Yingying downstairs, and Xie Zhaozhao went to Zhou Shaoyu's study.
Zhou Shaoyu didn't expect that she would come to his study during her "duty" time. He immediately put down the memorial in his hand and patted the dragon chair beside him: "Come and sit down."
Xie Zhaozhao sat next to him, and Xiuning immediately left with a glance.
"The real purpose of the five national masters coming to Yulong Country is to find the reincarnated person. The Dongli people and the Pyu people are in the same group, and they are all looking for the Dongli ancestor, the woman who almost unified the continent a thousand years ago!"
Zhou Shaoyu had naturally read the literature and history, so he asked, "Are they looking for Guan Ying?"
"Yes, it is said that the Dongli people set up a soul-calling formation to summon Guan Ying's soul back. It is said that Guan Ying knows how to live forever and can reincarnate over and over again." Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile, "They suspect that I am their reincarnated ancestor!"
Zhou Shaoyu frowned. How could Xie Zhaozhao be the ancestor of the Dongli people?
Do you think Xie Zhaozhao is capable and want to take advantage of her?
He acted cute and coquettishly towards Xie Zhaozhao, pampering her and making concessions in various ways, but who said he was easy to get along with?
Xie Zhaozhao is his Achilles' heel. If anyone dares to touch Xie Zhaozhao, he will make the other person regret being born into this world.
His Majesty Emperor Chen must never let the people of Dongli think that Xie Zhaozhao is their ancestor.
Otherwise, for the sake of ambition, kidnapping, assassination, imprisonment... who knows what those crazy people in Dongli can do.
He patted Xie Zhaozhao's hand and comforted him, "Don't be afraid!"
"Yes. I want to talk to you about the official newspaper. I want to improve the function and form of the official newspaper, so that it is not only circulated among officials, but also for everyone in Yulong, including ordinary people."
Xie Zhaozhao was talking about newspapers.
What Guan Yingying talked about, such as airplanes, cannons, computer networks and even spaceships, are too advanced and unimaginable, with almost no feasibility and simply not feasible at the moment.
Newspapers are different. Although they were abandoned by Guan Yingying and her peers in that era, they are an extremely practical and necessary means of conveying information for the current Yulong Kingdom.
The key is to be able to get started immediately.
She showed Zhou Shaoyu the picture drawn by Guan Yingying.
Zhou Shaoyu looked at the picture, then looked at her, and asked, "Was this painted by Yurong?"
"Well, she once said that she was not Princess Yurong, she came from a thousand years later."
In fact, both of them had some ideas in their minds.
The ancestor that the Dongli people are trying so hard to find might not be Princess Yurong/Guan Yingying?
"We can't let the Dongli people take her away!"
Although Xie Zhaozhao mastered the formula of gunpowder, he was not bloodthirsty and never had the hegemonic idea of "unifying the world for thousands of years."
But Guan Yingying is different.
As long as she is released and gets involved with the Dongli people, it could be a disaster for the entire Tiansheng Continent.
The five nations' state masters will not stay in Yulong Kingdom forever. They would like to go find their ancestors and mess around with them.
What Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao need to deal with is still the people's livelihood issues of their country.
"We can start publishing the newspaper you mentioned right away. It will be called the Yulong Newspaper."
Newspapers are the face of the Yulong court and the sword that guides public opinion.
The first issue of the newspaper was titled by Zhou Shaoyu, with the founding message addressed to Emperor Chen, Emperor An, Prime Minister Ling, and the Supreme Emperor...
The headlines on the front page are "Your Majesty personally visits Changhe Town" and "Vanguard of reform, daring to be the first in the world."
The content is extremely inspiring and the newspaper has great commemorative value.
Just think about it, the first issue of a newspaper with all the messages from the two emperors, the emperor emeritus, the prime minister... maybe you will only have one copy in your lifetime or two.
Moreover, the newspaper had six pages as soon as it came out. In addition to the fact that Changhe Town in Lizhou became a test field for reform, there were also announcements of the first joint examination and palace examination after the establishment of Yulong Kingdom.
There is also an "exclusive interview" with the new top scholar.
On the sixth page, there is an entire page dedicated to daily life, such as how to match clothes. The Ministry of Industry invented a "pressurized well" for household use, so people no longer have to go through great pains to fetch water.
The newspaper was priced at two cents.
Inaugural issue, 50,000 copies printed.
In the first half of the day when the newspaper was released, everyone was just waiting and watching, but in the second half, there was heated discussion.
The next day, the rush began.
On the third day, it was hard to get revenge.
The envoys from the five countries at the post station also received a copy of this newspaper respectively. At first, they did not think too much about it, as every country had official bulletins, but this was just a newspaper with expanded information!
However, when they saw an article titled "A Thousand Years of Fantasy" in the leisure section of the fifth edition, they were so excited that their whole bodies were shaking.
The title of the article is "I travel thousands of miles a day, I love my off-road vehicle."
The author of the article is Yanke.
