【1000】 Confusion, Commitment and Choice
In Piltwolf, newspaper distribution is licensed.
For newspapers with licenses, the newspaper association under the Picheng Chamber of Commerce has the power to "manage and review all publications including books and newspapers." As for those unlicensed tabloids, if the scale of issuance is small, it would be fine. Once the number of copies is issued exceeds 10,000, then if the license is not applied, wait for the Picheng Police Station to check the water meter.
However, the initial purpose of issuing such licenses was not to regulate public opinion - at the beginning, the Picheng people had a simple purpose, just to make money.
After all, if anyone can advertise, the effectiveness of the advertising will definitely be greatly reduced, which is obviously not conducive to monopoly.
However, with the development of the times, especially after the development of Kumangu, the monopoly merchants of the Picheng Chamber of Commerce keenly realized that public opinion can not only be used to advertise and sell goods.
In other words, the behavior of advertising and selling goods is itself the most superficial use of public opinion. To truly make good use of this power, it requires some more flexible means.
Therefore, during the development of Kumangu, the newspaper association also carried out some interesting reforms. Several "new money" who made some money during the development of Kumangu wanted to challenge the industry leader, but were sarcastic by various newspapers.
The lucky adventurer wanted to withdraw from his personal brand, but was exposed by Picheng Evening News that the quality control was not qualified; some emerging food stores withdrew from a series of adventure emergency foods, but frequently appeared in the background of the novel, and were mocked by people that "it's better to eat hairspray than to eat hairspray" - our unlucky Mr. Jace tried to advertise himself because he helped Marco Polo design power armor. Three days later, the news of consumer complaints appeared on the fourth page of the daily...
Through this series of interesting operations, the Picheng people quickly awakened the potential of manipulating public opinion, and the weight of the newspaper association within the chamber of commerce began to rise rapidly until the outbreak of the Shurima War and Piltwolf's economy began to decline.
During the economic downturn, the effectiveness of advertising begins to become bad, and the effect of suppressing peers becomes very poor - everyone doesn't have much money, so they tend to consider cost-effectiveness, and it is difficult to have cost-effectiveness in advertising.
In this case, the Picheng Press Association lost its previous profitability, but Kamil, who noticed this power, represented the Firos family, and invested a large-scale stake while most people wanted to leave.
Under her decision, Picheng Daily and Picheng Evening News cut down many commercial sectors and began to report on large-scale war news - she even paid for hiring adventurers who were not afraid of death to go to the front line to bring back valuable news from the first hand, and the Runeland gave birth to the first batch of war correspondents in the true sense.
After Kamil's adjustment, the original credibility of Picheng Daily and Picheng Evening News has been greatly improved. With the help of public opinion, Mrs. Gray has also vigorously passed many measures to reduce Picheng's short-term interests, but in the long run, it is conducive to the stability of the city.
When things developed to this point, Kamil finally clearly realized the political attributes of public opinion itself: from the profits of advertising and goods at the beginning, to the inducement and incitement of Kumangu's development, to the public opinion offensive during the war, Mrs. Grey finally successfully understood the most important significance of public opinion in addition to economic interests and cultural propaganda.
Although Piltwolf is not as ideology, at least under Kamil's control, Piltwolf's newspaper and publishing industry generally represent the "Pilwolf's voice". Although some people within the Chamber of Commerce criticized her for completely turning the newspaper and publishing industry into the mouthpiece of the Phiros family, unfortunately, Camil's situation has already been established at this time, and this sour complaint itself does not have much significance.
Kamil herself enjoyed this feeling. She was a person with a strong desire to control. Hex's body transformation allowed her to accurately control every part of her body. Public opinion and the police helped her accurately control Piltwolf like Hex's energy circuit.
However, with the emergence of Zoe and the rise of fan culture, Kamil's subtle discovery, this control seems to have a little problem.
The people of Picheng are obviously not satisfied with the serious news about Picheng Daily. The Picheng Evening News has read enough of the edge balls in the third-rate tabloids during the sage time. During the economic depression, people have worked hard, and everyone needs entertainment that does not use their brains, does not waste toilet paper, and does not guide consumption.
It is best not to read the battle reports and economic references on the front line without using your brain; do not read the third-rate newspaper printed without using toilet paper; do not guide consumption, reject commercial newspapers full of advertisements.
In this way, gossip becomes their best choice.
But because of Marco Polo and Zoe, the fan economy is very popular. The middle-class princesses who have spare money are happy to pay, and the exhausted Picheng people happily provide popularity. This form of entertainment that was difficult to enter the elegant hall finally became completely popular in Piltwolf.
At this point, Picheng's too small city-state size made everything develop rapidly, so that when Kamil realized the potential energy here, she was no longer easy to intervene.
Fortunately, she discovered it early enough, and at least before Twilight realized it, she started to act - Yasuo had not yet figured out the real purpose of Twilight's control of Zoe, so Kamil chose to attack hard.
Of course, there will definitely be guys who have grabbed the new cake to express their dissatisfaction during this period, and many people will choose to cooperate with Kamil, but if all this is done, even Piltwolf, a small place, will probably take a long time.
Yasuo was obviously unaware of Kamil's choice, and he did not realize that a familiar public opinion war was beginning in Piltwolf.
At this moment, Yasuo was already in a stubborn position - perhaps because he was influenced by Atoks' memory, he wanted to figure out the meaning of Zoe's every move.
As Piltwolf's situation changes, the familiar scenes have made Yasuo, who has returned from the Forget-Wuyou Garden, have some subtle ideas. The reality that happened at Piltwolf evokes his long-standing memories, making him more immersed without realizing it...
In fact, the purpose of Zoe's trip was actually Ezreal. Although she had long been a little yellow-haired grandmother, her emotional level was completely consistent with her appearance. Judging from Zoe's current series of choices, her emotional level was basically still in elementary school, and she was the type that would attract the other person's attention by making trouble.
It was not until the war correspondent in Pi City brought the news that Svein won a complete victory that Yasuo woke up in a terrifying state. Before he knew it, he found that he seemed to have completely attracted all his attention by Zoe, and he didn't even have time to cause any trouble for Svein!
This is obviously not a normal situation. After some self-reflection, Yasuo finally decided to stop and leave only the observation channel on Picheng. He kept paying attention to Zoe's actions, and he left and returned to Fukuo Island to find some trouble for Svein.
After all... Kenneth's side has just begun to develop, and Little Sparrow and her ideal country have just started. Now if Sviin is allowed to grow bigger, once Noxus is in great power, it will be really troublesome.
………………………………………
Finally set foot on the land of Fuguang Island again. Yasuo looked in a bad mood. On the way back, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had been deceived by Zoe's behavior. But this was not an amazing strategy. He just cared too much about the Twilight Star Spirit, and for a moment he was a little careless about one thing...
Even when facing the void, Yasuo has never lost his composure, so he spent some time reflecting on himself.
However, it is somewhat embarrassing that this kind of self-reflection has a very poor effect.
The more you are deceived, the more angry you get, the more you get. The more critical problem is that because of the experience of Wangyou Garden, because I really experienced time in Karamanda, and because I saw some familiar scenes at Piltwolf, Yasuo's memories of his previous life began to subtly interfere with his current choice.
Yasuo could clearly feel that he was currently overly nervous and even had a subtle and self-doubt tendency.
Yasuo felt that he needed to find a way to relax a little.
However, what methods should be used to soothe yourself?
After thinking about it, Yasuo felt that he should talk to Arrilia.
………………………………………
When I saw Yasuo again, Arriya keenly noticed something was wrong with the other party.
After all, since the number of white hairs has increased, Yasuo sometimes means avoiding Arialia. This guy has made a promise and has not really planned to default on the debt, but objectively speaking, he really has no time to solve his personal problems...
Therefore, Yasuo often subconsciously avoids being alone with Arrelia. If you are asked "When will you fulfill your promise?", Yasuo doesn't know how to answer.
Well, from this perspective, Yasuo is really a scumbag.
Seeing Yasuo finding herself rarely, Arriya originally planned to make a joke, but after realizing this wrong, her concern for Yasuo still overshadowed her dissatisfaction. She did not ask some questions that made Yasuo embarrassed, but took the initiative to make a pot of tea and then found a few plates of snacks.
"Take it, it's made by Tibers."
"Tibers?" Yasuo blinked, then looked carefully, picked up a fruit-like snack, "Is there anyone who is the same name as a shadow bear..."
"It's either a duplicate name, or Anne's little bear." Arella's lips curled up slightly, "When Nunu was visiting her house before, Amore said that girls should learn some skills in this regard, but unfortunately, little Anne had no intention at all, and in the end the matter was returned to Tibers."
"Can Anne control Tibers to do such a fine operation?" Yasuo stuffed the fruit into his mouth, then poured a large mouthful of tea, and then said blurredly, "This snack seems quite like that!"
"Only you can say this." Arrelia finally laughed out loud this time, "That is, your taste is not very sensitive now, so you can eat Tibers's works without changing your face - the kind that even Nunu doesn't want to eat, even if Annie catches her ear and threatens her."
"Uh, is that?" Yasuo was a little embarrassed when he heard this and quickly changed the subject. "But Nunu is really, not only early love, but also seems to have a tendency to rake his ears... Why did I accept such a disciple!"
"How could you say that to your disciple!" Arrilia shook her head, "I think Nunu is pretty good, much less worry-free than you, a master."
"Children don't have to take responsibility, so they must be worry-free!" Yasuo finally swallowed the snacks in his mouth, and after taking another sip of hot tea, his whole body leaned back on the chair. "When I was in the Storm Sect, I was also very worry-free. Every day, I practiced swords and practiced swords, which was similar to Ayi's current state... But later there were too many things, so how could I have the same kung fu skills as before?"
"So people will always grow up." When Yasuo talked about this topic, Arrelia couldn't help but agree, "When I was Shangzan, all I thought about was dancing every day. If I had let me know at that time, one day I would leave Shangzan and go further than Preshidian, I would have thought it was a fantasy."
"So sometimes I am a little envious of Ayi." Yasuo leaned back and looked at the ceiling. "After he returned to Baruo, he studied the Way of Wuji every day, and occasionally brought his apprentices in the area. Apart from the inheritance of the Wuji Sword Sect, he didn't have to bear any pressure..."
"What, are you envious?" Arella raised her eyebrows, "I want to go back to Aionia, no longer worry about the future?"
"That... it's not." Shaking his head slightly, Yasuo's tone was extremely calm, "You know, I don't like to hand over the initiative to the illusory fate."
"Since I have decided, why do you still look so tired?" Arriya stood up, walked behind Yasuo, reached out and pressed his temple, "I have never seen you look like this before."
"It's just rare." Yasuo did not stop Arella's massage. "Occasionally, there are still... the more you think about it, the more you like to solve all the problems yourself, and then you get stuck in the slightest way and can't get out of it. Even though you know what the problem is, you still can't relax - this kind of taste is really bad."
"So, what are you going to do?" Arrelia increased the strength on her fingers a little, "or, can we go out for a walk together?"
"I have a better idea than taking a walk."
“…I always feel that your thoughts seem offensive.”
"There is nothing to do!" Yasuo spread his hands and finally smiled on his face. "After thinking about it, this move should be the best way to solve the problem and make me feel relaxed."
"Don't keep it a secret, just tell me."
