Chapter 482 Public Opinion Guidance

Lin Yangyang and Lu Nanyue exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

"Qing-meimei, you don't mean what I'm thinking, do you?" Lin Yangyang asked.
"Do you want to speak up for women like your third uncle?"

“No, it’s not about speaking for women, but about letting women speak,” Lin Zhiqing replied.

There is a fundamental difference between the two.

The former still puts the initiative in Lin Zhiqing's hands, while the latter covers a wider range.

If only Lin Zhiqing is making an effort, that effort is not enough.

“But now we are trapped and about to be forced into a marriage alliance, how can we possibly achieve this?” Lu Nanyue asked.

“A marriage alliance presents an opportunity.” Lin Zhiqing took a deep breath.

A quarter of an hour ago, she had no intention of telling Lin Yangyang and Lu Nanyue what she had just said.

After all, in the rules of Dasheng, women seem to be born into a lower position and do not have the idea of ​​enjoying the same treatment as men.

But she had just overheard Lin Yangyang and Lu Nanyue's resentment.

What does this mean?
This represents some people waking up, and others struggling to break free from their current situation.

That's a good thing.

Lin Zhiqing was willing to entrust her back to them; she trusted them.

"Is a marriage alliance an opportunity?" Lu Nanyue repeated this sentence to Lin Yangyang, and finally they both looked at Lin Zhiqing.

Lin Zhiqing sat down opposite them: "Think about who are the people who are pushing so hard for the marriage alliance."

"An envoy from the Great Liang!" Lin Yangyang answered without hesitation.

“The Duke of Pei, and the Crown Prince!” Lu Nanyue thought for a moment before answering, then added, “The Censorate, those stubborn old men in the Censorate!”

Lin Zhiqing nodded: "That's right, these are the people."

At the palace banquet, some people tried their best to dissuade the crown prince from refusing the marriage alliance, while others couldn't wait to send Lin Zhiqing and the others to the bridal sedan chair the next day.

What Lin Zhiqing wants to do now is to use the marriage alliance to uncover the relationship between Daliang and the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, as well as Daliang's conspiracy.

Only in this way can she demonstrate her own value and have a chance to obtain rights.

If you want women to speak, then someone has to fight for their opportunity to speak.

This person is neither a young lady from a noble family nor a woman from a high-ranking household; she can only be someone who holds power in her own hands.

Lin Zhiqing had previous successful experience.

After seizing power in the Lin family, she changed their fate.

The same applies now; she wants to change herself, and she also wants to change the fate of Lin Yangyang, Lu Nanyue, and countless other women.

A marriage alliance is definitely not an option.

Now Lin Zhiqing must use this opportunity to find out what those who support the marriage alliance think and what their stance is, so as to change their opinions.

At the same time, we need to find the flaws in the Great Wall so that everyone can see that there are other ways to solve problems besides sacrificing women.

These thoughts had been in her mind last night.

In summary, there are only two types.

First, refuse marriage alliances.

Second, to gain power.

The solution to rejecting marriage alliances will definitely be to gradually explore and change the mindset of those who support them.

As for obtaining rights, that's a matter for later.

After clarifying the goal, Lin Zhiqing spoke again to add:

"Currently, there are four groups of people who support the marriage alliance: the royal family, the Duke of Pei, the Censorate, and the common people!" Lin Zhiqing deliberately emphasized the word "common people" before continuing:
"We cannot have a marriage alliance, so what we must do now is change these people's minds."

"I understand the principle, but how do I get started?" Lin Yangyang asked.

Lin Zhiqing tapped the table: "Let's start with something simple."

“None of these four types of people are simple,” Lu Nanyue couldn’t help but say.
"Dasheng has so many people, we can't persuade them all just by trying."

“Wang Yuan of the Censorate is an extremely rigid person. He will not easily change his mind as long as it is beneficial to Dasheng.”

"The Duke of Pei has been fighting on the frontier for many years. Now he is enjoying his retirement in Shengjing City. Therefore, his glory is no longer what it used to be, but his prestige and influence are still very high."

"The royal family... we can't get close to the crown prince and the emperor at all."

She analyzed these four types of people very thoroughly.

"In Nanyue, the common people are the easiest to win over," Lin Zhiqing reminded him.
"Have you forgotten how I declared war on the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion before?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Nanyue and Lin Yangyang's thoughts immediately drifted back to a few months ago.

At that time, Lin Zhiqing took the initiative to expose the Zhenyuan Marquis's family's plot to murder Lin Congrong and their feigned manipulation of the orphan's marriage.

The story quickly spread throughout the capital. How did it spread?

Thinking of this, the two of them had a sudden inspiration.

correct!

newspaper!

It's a newspaper!
Lin Zhiqing once researched something called a newspaper, using exaggerated headlines to attract the curiosity of many people and spark public discussion.

Therefore, the false pretense of the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion was able to spread rapidly among the people.

However, Lin Zhiqing was not particularly satisfied with that first-generation newspaper.

However, because he was busy overturning Lin Congrong's case, he put aside his research on the newspaper.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing spoke solemnly:
“Cousin, Nan Yue, a marriage alliance is a major event. It will take at least a month for the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to calculate the auspicious time and prepare the dowry.”

"January? No, it shouldn't be that long, unless the auspicious date calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory is extended." Lu Nanyue frowned, somewhat worried.
Lin Zhiqing smiled and said, "Nan Yue, Lu Huai may have already met the Director of the Imperial Observatory."

Lu Nanyue was taken aback, then immediately realized: "You and Xiao Huai discussed this beforehand?"

Lin Zhiqing nodded: "Therefore, we should have enough time."

"I will speed things up now and finish making the complete newspaper."

"At that time, we will follow the same method and use newspapers to spread the disadvantages of the marriage alliance."

This is a way to manipulate public opinion and change people's views.

In my previous life, this method had an extremely high success rate.

Even Lin Zhiqing is often led astray by fake news.

Of course, in the previous life, the widespread use of electronic products made it easier to transmit information faster and more widely, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false information.

But now, a single newspaper is enough for Lin Zhiqing to control public opinion.

After listening to Lin Zhiqing's words, Lin Yangyang nodded without hesitation: "Sister Qing, I will listen to you."

Lu Nanyue nodded: "Xiao Qing'er, this time, only we ourselves can decide how we should proceed."

Lin Zhiqing let out a soft breath.

It feels really good to have someone to fight alongside you.

Lu Huai is Lin Zhiqing's most compatible partner, but Lu Nanyue and Lin Yangyang's support for the marriage alliance is itself a great encouragement.

Women in this world are always moving forward.

Now, their first step forward is to reach the people and to read the newspapers!
