After Han Zhengyang finished speaking, he stepped on Pingbu Qingyun and turned to fly towards the Daofeng Mountain Holy Temple.
"Send in the special envoy!" Fang Yun said loudly.
"Farewell to the special envoy!" the other officials said in unison.
When Han Zhengyang rose to a high altitude, still within the range of the Holy Temple's power, Fang Yun delivered the letter holding the official seal.
"When we get to Kongcheng, I'll offer a toast and apologize."
After reading the letter, Han Zhengyang almost fell from his high position. He thought about it a lot, but he didn't expect that the person behind the scenes was Fang Yun. Although Fang Yun didn't admit it directly, Han Zhengyang, as a university scholar, naturally understood the meaning of these words.
"This bastard!" Han Zhengyang cursed in his heart and left without looking back, but he was thinking about Fang Yun's purpose in his heart.
After seeing Han Zhengyang off, Fang Yun gave an impassioned speech to all the officials, mainly saying that this was an internal affair between Jingguo and Xiangzhou, and the Criminal Court should not interfere. He also praised all the officials today, saying that only by maintaining unity could Xiangzhou prosper.
Fang Yun talked a lot, and when some officials were about to get impatient, Fang Yun suddenly said: "The Xiangzhou supplement has given me a lot of inspiration. Why do people rush to circulate it? Because the people need it! Since the people need it, the government must satisfy the people without violating the law and morality! I have just submitted an application to all relevant institutions such as the Jingguo Cabinet, Dongsheng Pavilion, Lidian, Xingdian, Wenbao Editorial Office, Shengdao Editorial Office, etc., requesting to use Xiangzhou as a pilot to publish an unofficial Minbao, which will be open to the people and bear its own profits and losses."
It was not until Fang Yun finished speaking that Dong Wencong suddenly realized what was going on. He was very excited and his face even turned slightly red because of excitement, because Fang Yun said that opening newspapers and periodicals to the public is a historical trend, and Fang Yun's previous experience in Ning'an County told the world that Fang Yun was already a leader in history.
Dong Wencong's heart was filled with emotions. This meant that he and Fang Yun had created a new history and their names would surely go down in history!
Dong Wencong's hands trembled slightly. He never expected that he would have the opportunity to touch the legendary "Three Immortals"!
To establish merit, to establish words, and to establish virtue are the three major realms of the human race, each one higher than the last.
To make meritorious contributions is to make great contributions to the human race. Famous scholars, generals and some monarchs throughout the ages are all representatives of meritorious contributions. Generally speaking, at least a great scholar can achieve enough merits to complete the three immortal meritorious contributions.
Over thousands of years, the human race has produced many people who have made great contributions. These people are the pillars of the human race.
A higher level than making achievements is making a name for oneself. The most basic level of making a name for oneself is to write a book with profound thoughts so that it can be passed down to future generations, and the highest level of making a name for oneself is to create a book of the holy way!
Many people who made great contributions throughout the ages either met with accidents or their words were unable to form the foundation of the holy way, so they cannot be considered to have truly made achievements.
Those who have made achievements may not necessarily have made great contributions, but those who have made great contributions will definitely have made great contributions.
Those who make statements should be canonized.
Establishing virtue is more important than establishing words.
To establish virtue is to be like a saint or a god, and to benefit generations to come.
There is some controversy among the human race about the people who established virtue, but the most widely accepted statement at present is that there were nine people who established virtue.
Huangdi, Yao, Shun, Yu, Cheng Tang, King Wen of Zhou, King Wu of Zhou, Duke of Zhou, and the last one is Confucius.
There is not much controversy about these nine people among the human race.
However, the descendants of all the saintly families wanted their ancestors to reach the level of establishing virtue and be on par with the nine ancient humans who stood tall and proud. This led to a long-lasting debate. Until now, many descendants of the noble families insist that their ancestors also reached the standard of establishing virtue.
The three immortalities are the highest realm pursued by every scholar.
Dong Wencong thought it would be difficult for him to be canonized as a saint, so he had been looking for an opportunity to leave his name in history. Until today, he was convinced that with the help of Fang Yun, he had taken half a step towards leaving his name in history. If he took one more step forward, he might make great achievements!
Dong Wencong did not fulfill his ambition of achieving the three immortalities, but as long as he accomplished his meritorious service, he would be able to shine for generations.
The officials present were just confused at first, but they soon realized that to go against the Punishment Hall, even a Virtual Saint would have to pay a price. A normal scholar would not be stupid enough to do so, and Fang Yun was even less likely to do so. So, if Fang Yun was willing to go against the Holy Temple, he must have big ambitions!
Could it be for this Min Bao? Most of the officials present thought of this.
Afterwards, most officials thought it was very likely because the only newspaper that could truly influence civilians was Wen Bao, and Sheng Dao did not have much influence on ordinary people, so many people just watched for fun.
However, the space of Wen Bao is limited, and if it wants to publish news about the entire human race, it will naturally miss a lot of important news.
Many times, the news in Wen Bao was not as comprehensive as that on the discussion list, but only those who passed the imperial examination and had official seals could go to the discussion list, and the public could only know what happened on the discussion list through scholars of high literary status.
However, many officials secretly shook their heads. The ambition of this "Min Bao" was too big and involved too many things. Even if it was used as a pilot in Xiangzhou, it would not be popularized quickly. Even if it was popularized, various aristocratic families and royal families of various countries would definitely intervene. With Fang Yun's current strength, the "Min Bao" could only influence the entire Jing Kingdom at most.
Dong Wencong took the officials' reactions to heart, but he laughed at these officials for their narrow vision. At the same time, he admired Fang Yun even more, because Dong Wencong discovered that Fang Yun's layout at that time was enough to support the "Min Bao" to radiate to all parts of the human race!
As early as several years ago, Fang Yun established Fang libraries in various places to share educational resources and take root in various places. Except for a few states where it was excessively suppressed and the response was mediocre, it has influence in most places.
It has become not only a habit for ordinary people to send their children to study in the Fang's Library, but even a rule or custom!
Humankind's thirst for knowledge and progress is beyond imagination, but often there is just no channel. The Fang Family Library is the largest educational popularization since Confucius broke the monopoly of official education.
Although the Fang Family Library was called a library, it had actually been expanding step by step according to Fang Yun's plan. It began to get involved in education, opened private schools and even larger academies.
Fang Yun used 90% of the Fang family's income to develop industries related to the Fang's library.
Dong Wencong could be sure that once Fang Yun wanted to establish the "Min Bao", the power of the Fang family library would be brought into play. As long as the rules and regulations of the "Min Bao" were formed and as long as the Holy Academy lifted the ban, "Min Bao" in various places would inevitably spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and would definitely not be weaker than those of the various aristocratic families or the royal family.
Dong Wencong looked at Fang Yun and suddenly felt a chill on his back. Fang Yun's poems and articles established his authority; the free policy of Fang's library won people's hearts; and the creation of "Minbao" occupied the minds of the people!
"It seems that Fang Xusheng had planned all this a long time ago, otherwise he would not have thought of all this and would not have done all this when the supplement of Xiangzhou Dibao came out."
The other officials all felt that Fang Yun might do something big, but they couldn't quite see through it.
Nie Changju, the leader of Qingguan, looked at Fang Yun and suddenly felt uneasy. He felt that he and Guan Yi were going to be in big trouble, but he didn't know what Fang Yun would do.
