This Lord is Very Scientific

Chapter 224: Public Opinion! The Lords' Anger! (7k) (Extra Update 12)



In the newspaper office, Lin Ke continued to speak while Red listened.

"...including that Minister of Supervision, who actually acted under the name of the Moon Goddess, trying to frame and incriminate a lord, intending to seize a lord's knowledge and wealth..."

Lin Ke's words were full of elements, one of which was the arrogance of the Minister of Supervision, which seemed insignificant by comparison.

So arrogant!

So foolish!

A mere research institution attempting to search a noble with a fiefdom in the Gula Kingdom?

And the reason being something as ridiculous as a mathematical scroll in this noble's possession?

And the targeted noble happens to be the recently popular Count Lin Ke?

And that research institution's Minister of Supervision was even related to the Moon Goddess?

Moreover...

Too many "moreover"!

As Red listened, he infused vitality into the words under his pen, pouring his disbelief, utmost absurdity, and immense anger into them.

When he finished writing, the ordinary words carried magic power, each Nasong language word seemed to transform into angry daggers, piercing into people's hearts.

This manuscript would be sent to the external editing room, where the "authors" would further process and "beautify" it, while also weakening the corresponding emotions, before publishing it in the Great Wilderness Monthly.

"I'll be leaving first. Also, recruit more 'authors' and 'journalists,' at any level." After Lin Ke finished discussing the matters, he stood up. "Later, there might be countless newspapers springing up. We should launch another Gula Daily and Naseng Monthly."

Gula Daily and Naseng Monthly!

Red was startled: "Young Master Lin Ke, the entire Naseng?"

The Gula Kingdom is located to the east of Naseng, to be precise, the southeast, while in the north is the Eternal Freeze Court and to the west is the Holy Life Alliance.

Further west are uninhabited regions with various races and forces.

However, none can compare to the Holy Life Alliance, Gula Kingdom, and Eternal Freeze Court, most are minor forces.

If the journalists are to travel such distances, even top-level journalists might not suffice.

The journalist profession can accelerate information collection and some skills relate to discovering secrets, while others relate to stamina.

The entire newspaper office has only ten journalists, while the rest of the over a hundred-member journalist group is made up of ordinary people recruited from the Great Wilderness City residents.

Over ninety-nine percent of the information from the Gula Kingdom is collected by these ten journalists, the rest by the journalist group exceeding a hundred people.

It's not difficult to dig out news from the entire Naseng; once entering the respective regions, journalists collecting news just need to interact with local people.

Yet, the challenge lies in entering.

This certainly isn't like a past life, with humanity as the sole intelligent life form.

Human appearances are easily recognized!

"How about this, I'll explain the essence of the profession to the journalists when the time comes."

Lin Ke thought of 315, realizing that journalists could actually assume various identities.

In Naseng, they can be of various races too.

"Okay, no problem." Red nodded, noting this matter: "About when?"

"This month, I suppose." Lin Ke thought, realizing he would soon turn eighteen and needed to prepare for the noble evaluation.

He should logically be part of Azanen, yet he seemed like a branch member establishing his family independently.

By then, he also needed to discuss plans with Garoce.

"Also, remember to manage public opinion effectively." Lin Ke considered this as his final instruction before stepping out.

Public opinion control means Great Wilderness Monthly will publish comments from other lords of Gula on the last page, either through journalist interviews or nobility correspondence.

These nobles offer opinions on a certain section from the previous issue, such as a specific novel or news, guiding the flow of public opinion.

What Lin Ke aimed for evidently included too much private content!

If it were simply to counter the Minister of Supervision, Lin Ke wouldn't need to go that far, which would reveal the true power of public opinion, though it's just the tip of the iceberg.

This time, public opinion could only influence literate lords and nobles; the majority of common people and professionals probably wouldn't sense much.

Yet, once literacy spreads, public discontent and anger become a sharp sword blade.

No one can stand against the vast ocean of the populace.

At worst, even if people like the Insomnia Emperor who suppresses the world exist, they could only kill all citizens full of anger and resentment.

This is the populace!

Once their souls awaken, no one can stop them!

It should be noted that many powerful professionals haven't even belonged to the nobility.

Those who fought their way up from the bottom do not necessarily aspire to be nobles; some may wish to be free-flying birds or flames true to their dreams.

These are the populace too.

Even though Lin Ke hadn't demonstrated the true power of public opinion, it was enough to cause many to feel either troubled, scared, or covetous.

This public opinion would manipulate the uncertain-minded nobles, noble heirs, noblewomen, and some literate professionals, showcasing the power of public opinion to many.

However...

This is worthwhile!

Lin Ke wasn't targeting that insignificant Minister of Supervision, nor could he shake the Moon Goddess, the Dominator.

What he wanted to do was recruit various unfortunate researchers from the research institution!

Apart from mathematics, Lin Ke was confident that many small-school members were disheartened, manipulated by the Minister of Supervision, and despised.
