Chapter 205 The Rhythm of the Storm
The task of the newspaper is to pass on the will of the rulers to the ruled, so that they can regard hell as heaven.
...
The other world can basically be said to be a world that lacks entertainment, especially ordinary people. Because they can't afford tickets to opera houses, hunting grounds, etc. Perhaps only those passing circuses can bring them little happiness. Unfortunately, both of them are performance forms that go around and will not stay in one place for a long time.
In this case, newspapers in each city of the Bran Empire are one of the few choices that the people have.
The unified price, ten copper coins are not expensive, but they are definitely not cheap for those who are going to have enough food and clothing. The content on this is indeed rich, including commercial information, interesting news from other places, etc. Of course, it is more of a page that is unpopular to sing praises to the government affairs of the city... However, whether you like it or not, the official newspapers over the years have had a profound impact on the psychology of some people. Repeating lies thousands of times is the truth, and this truth can be explained anywhere.
Just recently, the people were interested in the area, and they moved from the scene of aristocratic women and young ladies in the newspaper to the government affairs page. The reason is very simple, because the words "Grey-clothed Army" frequently appear.
In the past three months, the gray-clothed army has become a hot topic in some cities. Needless to say, the cause is naturally the sudden appearance of the streets and alleys, either vivid and humorous, spicy and satirical posters, or simple and simple, real-life big-character posters.
The city responded quickly, secretly searching for gray-clothed soldiers while starting to fight back in the newspaper.
During this period, the city residents were overwhelmed with their eyes. One party issued a comment notice. The other party would launch a sharp sarcastic counterattack the next day at the latest. Both sides fought verbally. The scene was extremely exciting.
At the beginning, the official newspaper fell completely below, and the usual slander remarks became dry and unconvincing in the face of the real stories that kept appearing. It was obvious that the official began to pay attention to it, and gradually appeared with some examples. However, the good times did not last long. A city was caught by the gray-clothed army and was quickly confirmed to be forged. This incident completely made the official newspaper passive and the credibility was also hit.
After learning from the pain, soon after, the argument that the Grey Army did something practical for the people appeared. Although the Grey Army had also explained it, those words were a little thin because they did not show any shocking deeds. Of course, this does not mean that the Grey Army did nothing in recent years, and just killing the dozen greedy Lord Knights was a great good deed. Unfortunately, these things have been pushed to the jar and are not suitable for exposure.
Seeing that the gray-clothed army was a little procrastinating and weak, the city officials thought they had captured the other party's weakness, and in just a few days, they immediately spread this argument in newspapers in all northern cities.
The people's views on such a situation are two types. One is deeply brainwashed, and the true face of the gray-clothed army was finally revealed. The other is that they have no good feelings for the nobles. After reading the gray-clothed army's explanation, they expressed their understanding. They even added some words after the propaganda paper to prevent the gray-clothed army from paying attention to this topic and continue the previous rhythm of mocking the nobles.
However, no matter whether it was watching the show or worry, it did not last long. Because today, the gray-clothed army once again issued a notice that caused a sensation in the whole city.
The content is very simple, which is to let all the bandits in the 100,000 mountains and boundaries leave the village and town within three days. Otherwise, tough measures will be taken!
Although it was not clearly stated above, the public knew that this was a domineering counterattack by the Gray-Clothed Army against the previous official inaction argument.
Didn’t you ask us to come up with a practical matter? This is, and it is a bandit problem that you have never solved.
**The ordinary people were excited by the naked slap in the face. They naturally had no good feelings for the vicious bandits, so even though they were not affected by this kind of harm in the city, they still praised the actions of the Gray-Clothed Army.
Unlike the people, the official has begun to get a headache. This kind of notice is not suitable for fighting back. Others are going to attack the bandits. You can't deny it in a brainless way. In the end, you have to cautiously express your optimism and then add a sour sentence. In fact, the empire has never given up on the bandits in recent years.
Who knew that the last sentence would be fine if it wasn't added, but when it was added, it made the people use it as a laughing stock and complained.
I'm so embarrassed to mention this? The result is obviously that, such a huge empire has wiped out bandits for nearly hundreds of years, but the result is that more and more people are suppressing them...
As the general trend is, the outside world praises the actions of the Gray-Clothed Army, and there is basically no objection. The key question now is whether the Gray-Clothed Army is successful. Everyone knows that the northern bandits are not so easy to deal with. It is no exaggeration to say that the northerners have listened to the harm of bandits and various cruel acts since they were born, but now they are still listening. Although they have complained about the efficiency of the Bran Empire before, it can also be seen from this point that the difficulty of destroying bandits is difficult.
The quarrels in the city are so lively that the bandits naturally know. There is no need to doubt this. If you are a bandit, you will only wait for the rabbit. Even if you are lucky enough to die, you will only be a terrible little bandit.
For example, if a caravan passes by in the city, you have to put a spy in the city to know the value of the goods? Where is the destination? How many guards? Which route to choose... The so-called only by loving your job and dedicated work can you generate income.
But even though I know, the bandits didn't take the warning of the gray-clothed army seriously. What a joke, even the Bran Empire, the four lords could do nothing to us, let alone you, a small gray-clothed army? Besides, this is a big deal of cutting off the wealth route, and it would be a ghost to hear it.
The bandits who laughed at this side didn't know that the gray-clothed army didn't want their consent. The gray-clothed army was just needed to prove themselves with their blood.
The 100,000 mountains still look the same. There are more mountains than people. The wind is not shocked, and it looks very desolate and sad.
But at this moment, an invisible storm was slowly forming, and because of the will of the initiator, it was destined to sweep everything and cleanse the dust...
