How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 338 : The Art of Newspapers

"Underground warehouse?"

Looking at the "Spark News" in her hands, Elashia showed an expression that was hard to maintain.

"Your excuse... isn't it a bit ridiculous?"

"You said in your official newspaper... that you discovered a... super large underground granary left behind by the Holy Court? And all the grain inside is perfectly intact?"

Ileina smiled and nodded.

"Right!"

"Otherwise how do we explain this suddenly massive quantity of grain we have?"

"But this excuse is also..."

Pointing at the report in the newspaper that was ridiculous to the extre, Elashia complained:

"Then how do you explain the previous failure of the Holy Court's grain control policy?"

"Isn't that simple?"

Looking at Elashia who was speechlessly reading the newspaper, Ileina smiled:

"Isn't that simple?"

"Just flip the newspaper to the back and you'll know."

"Ah?"

Elashia strangely flipped the newspaper to the back.

In the "Expert Comntary" section, a pile of text that almost made her spit out appeared before her eyes.

[Revealing the Puppet Governnt's True Nature! Behind the Holy Capital's Famine is Actually the Holy Court's Indifference!]

[The Secret Behind Northern Fire's Military Managent Departnt's Discovery of Giant Underground Granary in the Holy Capital!]

[Why Can Holy Court Elites Enjoy Such Luxury When the Holy Capital is Suffering from Famine?]

"This..."

Elashia looked at Ileina speechlessly.

"Aren't you afraid of problems later when you fabricate facts like this in official newspapers?"

Ileina smiled.

"This is where you don't understand people's psychology, Little Shia."

"I won't even ntion that we can't possibly leak secrets, let just talk about the people's perspective."

"Actually, the stories people like most are exactly these kinds of things, and even if they really knew the truth, they couldn't possibly really believe it."

"The reason people believe sothing isn't because that thing really exists, but because they already believe it, isn't that right?"

"What's that saying... people only believe what they want to believe, isn't that right?"

Looking at Ileina's confident appearance, Elashia continued complaining:

"But... as a governnt trusted by the people, is it really appropriate for you to lie like this in your own newspaper..."

"Hehe..."

Looking at Elashia's speechless appearance, Ileina smiled:

"Our Holy Kingdom's newspapers are quite different from yours..."

"After all, the Holy Kingdom is still at war, so newspapers need to not only convey information to the people, but also raise morale and popular support as much as possible..."

"And to achieve this goal, telling so small lies in newspapers is actually quite normal..."

Hearing Ileina's sophistry, Elashia complained speechlessly:

"But... what if it's exposed later?"

She rembered very clearly—Candice's biggest requirent for Elasia's official newspapers in Radiant Emperor City was one thing—truth.

Because she knew—if lies in newspapers were exposed, governnt credibility would instantly be completely lost.

"Hehehehe..."

Ileina covered her mouth and laughed:

"I knew you'd ask these things..."

"So when I ca today, I specifically bought several pages of reports from other newspapers, and went to ask Caroline for the 'Blood News' she's been collecting for half a year."

"'Blood News'?"

Elashia asked strangely:

"What's that?"

Ileina smiled and explained:

"That... in contrast to our 'Spark News', is a newspaper founded by the Holy Court and Blood Clan."

"Let's not talk about that first, let show you the most popular newspapers currently on the market in the Holy Capital."

"Oh... ah?"

After receiving several newspapers from Ileina, Elashia almost spit out when she saw the headlines.

[Shocking! Northern Fire Discovers Giant Warehouse Left by Holy Court Underground! The Holy Court is Utterly Unconscionable!]

[Holy Court Secretly Built Giant Warehouse! Hid Large Amounts of Quality Grain Like Potatoes, Wheat, and Corn Underground! For Their Own Enjoynt, They Didn't Even Think to Use This Grain When the Holy Capital Was Suffering from Famine!]

[According to Our Reporter's Witness—There Are At Least One Hundred Thousand Tons of Grain Inside!]

There were even detailed pictures and reports of reporters following Northern Fire soldiers to examine that so-called "giant warehouse"...

"No... don't they know how much one hundred thousand tons of grain actually is..."

Elashia covered her face speechlessly.

A warehouse that could hold one hundred thousand tons of grain... could that possibly be built secretly?

Even Elashia, who knew nothing about practical affairs, knew—even Radiant Emperor City didn't have giant granaries that could hold a full one hundred thousand tons...

To build such a large granary would be absolutely impossible without mobilizing hundreds of thousands of workers...

"How about it, compared to this, our telling a few small lies in the newspaper isn't much, right?"

"This..."

Elashia's small face flushed red.

"But... they're civilian newspapers... they definitely don't need to bear such great responsibility for their words..."

"I knew you'd say that..."

Ileina continued covering her mouth and laughing:

"Then... look at the 'Blood News' run jointly by the Blood Clan and Holy Court..."

"That's truly ridiculous..."

Carefully handing the thick stack of newspapers to Elashia, Ileina instructed:

"You have to be careful... don't damage it, this is Caroline's treasure..."

"She said after the war ends, she's counting on publishing this stack of newspapers to achieve financial freedom..."

"Achieve financial freedom through publishing newspapers?"

Elashia asked strangely:

"Although I don't know much about your Holy Kingdom's intellectual property protection system... but publishing rights belong to the newspaper company itself everywhere..."

Ileina smiled and shook her head.

"How could that be... Little Shia, did you forget—that's the Blood Clan and Holy Court's newspaper, we're definitely going to strip them of all political rights... which of course includes publishing rights."

"Oh oh oh..."

Elashia understood.

"Then... how do you achieve financial freedom by using newspapers others have already published?"

"Hehe..."

Hearing Elashia's question, Ileina chuckled:

"You should know after looking at what's in the newspaper."

After hearing Ileina's words, Elashia finally opened that newspaper.

However... when she realized what outrageous content she was seeing, it was too late...

Just opening the first page of the newspaper, a headline that almost made her spit out appeared before her eyes.

[Great Victory of the Holy Army! Our Forces Successfully Captured Northern Fire Military Commissar Caroline!]

Flipping through the newspaper compilation again, even more outrageous text appeared before her eyes.

[After Successfully Defeating Pursuing Night Shadow Assassins, His Excellency the Blood Cult Leader Victoriously Withdrew to the Holy Capital!]

"This..."

Elashia was instantly speechless...

This could also be called victorious withdrawal?
