Chapter 2658

Zhu Zian's feeling is right, but not entirely right. Haihan hopes to use his special status to exert influence on the North Koreans, but North Korea has been separated from the Ming Dynasty for nearly twenty years. Even if he is a member of the royal family, the influence he can have is limited.

It is unlikely that there will be an immediate reaction in the diplomatic activities of both parties.

Moreover, Haihan hopes that Zhu Zian will not only affect the North Korean officials that the mission can come into contact with, but also have an impact on a larger scale. Haihan has also made some arrangements in advance for this purpose, and the relevant work is all about using

The process had been started before the group arrived. Zhu Zian, who had almost no contact with the outside world, naturally had no idea about this and could not imagine how many people were paying attention to his movements.

Outside the Chongli Gate in Seoul is the area with the highest concentration of local cultural institutions. There are not only official institutions such as Sungkyunkwan, Kyujang Pavilion, Jingyan Hall, Hongwen Hall, and Art Museum, but also many bookstores from Haihan, Seoul and Seoul.

Fanghe Newspaper Office set up business offices here. For Korean literati, this area of ​​less than a thousand acres on the edge of Seoul was the cultural center of the country.

The cultural penetration of Haihan into North Korea began when the two countries established diplomatic relations, and printed matter as a carrier was one of the most important means. Haihan culture is originally an evolutionary product of traditional Han culture, and the writing and style are all inherited from the same origin, so for North Korea

For literati, there is basically no reading difficulty. The books published by Haehan are of high quality, beautifully printed, and low in price. There are almost no competitors in North Korea, and they have basically monopolized the market for printed books in the past few years.

Even those old scholars who insist on respecting the Ming Dynasty often have a few collections of classics and history published by Haihan on their desks. As for the new generation of scholars who have grown up in the past ten years, they basically read the books provided by Haihan.

He is big, and his mind is filled with all kinds of consciousness that Haihan deliberately instilled.

As the official publicity mouthpiece of Haihan, "Haihan Times" is naturally duty-bound. It purchased land and built a house here more than ten years ago and established a publishing agency. However, the content of the newspaper published locally is different from that of Haihan.

It focuses more on reporting various news about North Korea, so the newspaper changed the word "Haihan" and took the name "Peninsula Times".

Because this newspaper has an official background in Haihan, the authority of the news it publishes is far superior to other information channels on the market. Especially various news from foreign countries often appear first in the Times, so they often appear in the Times.

Used as reference material by North Korean officials.

"The Peninsula Times" is not a tabloid. Its purpose is to serve as a propaganda tool for Haihan, so its target readership is not the general public. Most North Koreans who will spend money to subscribe to this newspaper are either rich or noble.

For these people, as long as they occasionally see a piece of valuable news in the newspaper, the benefits will far exceed the money spent on subscribing to the newspaper.

This kind of news is often sensitive and will be devalued if spoken in plain language, so what you can see in newspapers are mostly fragments or obscure rhetoric. But people with a keen sense of smell will understand it even if they don't understand it.

Find the person in charge of the newspaper in private and offer benefits to get the inside story.

There are also many Haihan businessmen who want to open up business in North Korea. They will also spend money to publish advertisements in the Times to expand their business. This will be regarded by the North Koreans as a sign of strength. The newspaper's annual income from advertising is also

It is enough to compete with a medium-sized trading firm.

Many locals know that the editor-in-chief of this newspaper bought a large manor on the bank of the Han River last year, which shows that this should be a lucrative business.

The current editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Chang Zhenguo, has been in office for five years, which is exactly one term. After serving one more term, he can be transferred back to China. With this overseas resume, he can work at the Times headquarters after returning to China, whether he is working in the Times headquarters or in publicity.

It shouldn't be too difficult to find a good position in the ministry where you can work for less money and make more money.

In fact, Chang Zhenguo has no particularly outstanding abilities, and he can only be considered average in his work. If we talk about professional ability, then Sanya can probably pick out twenty or thirty writers of the same age who are more powerful than him. Of course, these competitors are also

They all have one shortcoming that is inferior to him, and that is their background.

Chang Zhenguo was assigned this position largely because of the connections his father, Chang Degao, made in his early years. Chang Degao, who was the publicity officer of the Sanya Port District more than 20 years ago, had a keen eye for good things and discovered the secrets among the people.

A talented person. Later, after being transferred overseas, he rose through the ranks and became the person in charge of the Propaganda Department stationed in the Northern Region.

This man was sent by the Ming Dynasty to Haihan as an undercover agent, and ended up accidentally hitting Liu Shang on his official career. He was first responsible for propaganda and civil affairs in Shandong and Liaodong, and later Haihan established the Datong River base in North Korea, and was later

He was seconded by the military and stayed in North Korea for a period of time. Now Liu Shangzai is basically in charge of all the work of the Propaganda Department in the Northern Region, including personnel appointments, and his authority is extremely great.

After Liu Shang became successful, he did not forget his original leader. Although he never returned to Sanya, he kept in touch with Chang Degao for many years. Later, when he learned that Chang Degao was considering the development prospects of his son Chang Zhenguo, he tried his best to persuade him.

He sent his son to work overseas for a few years to avoid Sanya's highly competitive environment.

Liu Shang is undoubtedly a successful example of a naturalized official taking the overseas development route, so he used his own experience as an example, which is quite convincing. Moreover, Liu Shang has personnel authority in the north, so it is convenient to give him some care.

Chang Degao was persuaded by him and found a job for his son Chang Zhenguo to be stationed in the Northern Region, and Liu Shang took over directly.

Chang Zhenguo stayed in Jinzhou for two years, and was led by Liu Shang to familiarize himself with the work. The two of them were called superiors and subordinates, and they were actually a master-student relationship. Later, the former editor-in-chief of the Peninsula Times in North Korea was transferred back to China, and Liu Shang arranged for Chang Zhenguo to work with him.

Guo went to Seoul to take over.

Although Chang Zhenguo's abilities were mediocre and his previous resume had no bright spots, Liu Shang's influence was so great that he was forced into this position.

Before the mission set off from Zhejiang, the relevant arrangements had been notified to the embassy in Seoul, and Fu Li assigned the publicity work to Chang Zhenguo. Since this involved the descendants of the Ming Dynasty Zhu family in the mission, Chang Zhenguo

Zhenguo also specifically contacted Liu Shang via telegram and asked him for instructions on how to handle related propaganda work.

He was looking for the right person to ask for instructions, because in addition to sending Zhu Zian to Zhejiang to take the exam, Prince De's Mansion also sent another person to Jinzhou to participate in the rural exam organized by the Northern Region, so Liu Shang also happened to be carrying out related publicity work recently.
