Chapter 583: Personal Interview

In order to call on the people to unite to resist the impending disaster, Ji Yang conducted a personal interview for the first time, and talked to the people through the Royal Newspaper. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The "literary teacher" who came to interview him is called Xiao Yinuan, who is a young lady and a scholar. I saw a lot of people's livelihood, government, business, workers and peasants, and military issues through the newspaper, which gave Xiao Yinuan a great feeling.

Xiao Yinuan's mind gradually opened, and finally saw the report about Dong Wu, the female scholar of the Ministry of Agriculture, as well as the news of the Nanyang Oriental Naval Division, some heroic and fearless female commanders, Xiao Yinuan resolutely gave up the fate of the family arrangement and came to the Royal Newspaper to apply for a job.

As for why she chose the Royal Newspaper Building, it is purely because her home is in the capital, which is closer.

At this time, people were still relatively conservative and more resistant to the issue of women joining the army and doing official work. Xiao Yinuan's family is very traditional, so her application path was not smooth.

Anyway, in the end, Xiao Yinuan became the first female literary teacher in the Royal Newspaper Museum. Some people call them questioners because they always ask questions when they are interviewing, and some people call them swordsmen because they have to catch a pen and write.

After Xiao Yinuan became a literary teacher, she was most concerned about women's work and joining the army as an officer. However, it is a pity that some of Xiao Yinuan's reports advocating women to come out have been denied by the Royal Newspaper, and none of them have been reported.

She is still relatively smart, knowing that she has just entered the Royal Newspaper Pavilion and has not been recognized by everyone, so she writes about these things that most people resist, and no one will appreciate her. So Xiao Yinuan began to follow the mainstream, specializing in tracking news about government corruption, people's livelihood difficulties, profiteers and evil lords, military wars, etc.

Xiao Yinuan has practiced martial arts, the sixfold realm, the realm is not high, and there is no problem running around. Through hard work, the news obtained by Xiao Yinuan in various parts of the Central Plains gradually appeared in the royal newspapers. In order to catch corruption news, Xiao Yinuan often runs with the Imperial Sword Pavilion, and has a good relationship with Jian Chen.

Because she is the only female writer, she also has a background in the family and has received some special care. Of course, Xiao Yinuan's own ability is beyond doubt, and she can be said to be a woman in the new era.

This time he was selected to be in charge of the emperor's interview, and Xiao Yinuan was so excited that he didn't fall asleep for several days. She repeatedly studied the habits of the emperor, prepared clothing and wording, and tried to make a good impression in front of the emperor.

Xiao Yinuan specially asked someone to make a beige long skirt, with white clothes on the upper body, which looked elegant and quiet. Her outfit is called a jacket skirt in Hanfu, the little girl is very cute to wear, and Xiao Yinuan looks younger when she dresses like this.

There are many types of Hanfu, especially women's clothing, which are all very good-looking. The more popular one is the full-breasted skirt, which can be seen from this skirt, although everyone is conservative, in fact, it has gradually opened up to women.

The location of the interview was arranged in a pavilion in the Imperial Garden, a chair and table were arranged, and the gap on the table had been arranged, and Xiao Yinuan and two assistants stood and waited.

Two assistants, one for recording and the other for the artist, were in charge of drawing the interview. Although they have traveled all over the Central Plains and interviewed many dangerous things, they are still very nervous.

In Xiao Yinuan's imagination, the emperor should be a mature man in his forties and fifties with a solemn appearance. But when Ji Yang came over and sat down, Xiao Yinuan was stunned for a moment, this is the emperor's position, could it be that this young and handsome young man is the emperor?

Ji Yang didn't make any special preparations, his clothes were similar to usual, and he didn't bring a maid, so he drank a cup of tea after sitting down, and then said, "Sit down, you have an hour." ”

"You are the emperor?" Xiao Yinuan said in surprise.

"Otherwise, what other man can walk around the Imperial Garden." Ji Yang said.

"The grass people have seen the emperor, long live long live long live." The three of them knelt down and saluted together, Xiao Yinuan was a little better, and the two assistants were a little nervous.

"There's no need to be polite, I have already canceled the etiquette of the monarch kneeling, don't you know." Ji Yang waved his hand, it was very annoying to watch others kneel and worship every day, mainly because the movements were too complicated and a waste of time.

"You are the Holy Martial Emperor, how can we not give a great gift." Xiao Yinuan said.

"You know, it's hard for a person to stand up when he kneels too much, and what do you expect him to do if he can't stand up straight? I don't want the people of the Taihao Dynasty to be accustomed to groveling, just keep respect in mind. Ji Yang said.

"Quick, write it down." When Xiao Yinuan heard this, he was immediately shocked and asked the assistant next to him to record. Then Xiao Yinuan finished the etiquette and looked at Ji Yang respectfully: "Your Majesty, how can the etiquette be canceled lightly, if you don't kneel, how should you salute when we see us?" ”

"The courtesy of the literati and the martial arts can be done, and the ministers of civil and military affairs of the imperial court salute like this." Ji Yang said.

"What if you are not a literati or a martial artist, but just an ordinary citizen?" Xiao Yinuan asked.

"Pick one, or bow." Ji Yang said.

Xiao Yinuan nodded in his heart, bowing is of course much more convenient than kneeling, and it is not disrespectful.

"When I speak to the people today, I won't talk about the literati, I'll be more straightforward. According to the calculations of the Meteorological Research Institute of the Hosakah Academy, this year's winter will come earlier and colder, and it may last for many years, so we must be prepared for long-term disaster resistance. Ji Yang said.

"We've heard this news, but I don't know why the celestial phenomena have changed abruptly?" Xiao Yinuan asked a question that everyone wanted to know.

"The Academy of Stars hasn't studied it yet, but I hope you think on the bright side. Maybe it's because God saw that we had cut down so many trees, hunted so many fish and beasts, and reclaimed so much land, so that the earth could recuperate. The Chinese nation has a history of thousands of years, and those who farm the land know that the land also needs to rest. Ji Yang said.

"Ruixue Zhaofeng Year, what do you mean is that this white disaster will not only have no harm, but will allow the Central Plains to be cultivated." Xiao Yinuan's eyes lit up, Ji Yang's explanation was ingenious, and it was completely different from the folk rumors of anger and resentment.

"Whether it's good or bad, the key depends on how we do it. If you blindly complain about natural disasters and starve to death, it will definitely be a disaster. But if we are united and actively prepare, as long as we survive this disaster. I am sure that when the snow melts in spring, the earth will inevitably glow with more majestic vitality. Ji Yang said.

"If you don't die in a great disaster, you will have a blessing in the future." Xiao Yinuan said.

"Suffice it to say, this celestial anomaly is both a disaster and an opportunity. I hope that while fighting the disaster, everyone will seize the opportunity and never waste God's kindness. Ji Yang said with a smile.

In the face of thousands of years of catastrophes, they can still talk and laugh calmly, this kind of bearing makes Xiao Yinuan and the three of them can't help but fall for it, this is their emperor, who is many times smarter than the previous emperors who shouted bitterly and shouted when there was a disaster.

"I've seen thousands of years of catastrophe, but I don't know where the opportunity is?" Xiao Yinuan said curiously.

"There are opportunities everywhere, and this disaster is not aimed at my Taihao Dynasty, but all countries in the whole world will face it. Other countries are not prepared to fight disasters like we do, they lack food, they lack cotton clothing, they lack fuel, and these things will definitely sell for a good price in other countries. Ji Yang said.

"It's a good opportunity." Xiao Yinuan said.

"Do you think that as an emperor, I will only talk about the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and military affairs? No, even the emperor has a time when he needs money, and military affairs are inseparable from money, and every household is inseparable from money. So we can't treat money as a flood beast, but we can't be mercenary, as long as we don't break the law, we are worthy of conscience, and there is nothing to be ashamed of doing business to make money. Ji Yang said.

"It's not illegal, it's worthy of conscience, I'll emphasize this sentence." Xiao Yinuan said.

"It seems that your mind is very sharp, and you have grasped the main point at once, and you are a good writer." Ji Yang praised.

"Thank you for the compliment." Xiao Yinuan pursed his lips and smiled.

is not only Ji Yang's image, but Ji Yang's thoughts have also greatly changed Xiao Yinuan's outlook.

From kneeling to the understanding of the disaster, to the elaboration of opportunities, it has given Xiao Yinuan a new way of thinking. None of the words that had been prepared were used, because they were used against a traditional emperor.

"Making money is an opportunity for businessmen, so where is the opportunity for ordinary people?" Xiao Yinuan asked.

"If there is a shortage of grain, we must grow grain, we must buy grain from the peasant households, we must make clothes if we lack cotton clothes, we must buy cotton from the peasant households, and if we lack fuel, we must dig coal and burn charcoal, and we must not ask craftsmen to do these things. At that time, the price of grain and cotton in the hands of farmers will rise, and the price of coal and fuel will rise, and many people will be able to benefit. Ji Yang said.

"Well, there is some truth, but we don't lack it ourselves." Xiao Yinuan's courage gradually grew, and he deliberately embarrassed Ji Yang.

"There are some things that Ji Yang is inconvenient to say too bluntly, lest people say that he is a dignified emperor of a big country, and he is only thinking about the surrounding small countries.

Xiao Yinuan thought that Ji Yang was angry, so he quickly reined in and stopped dwelling on this issue.

The reason why she has such doubts is that she does not understand the national policy, the development trend of the Taihao Dynasty, and the situation of the surrounding countries.

If this time it is really the arrival of the Xiaoice River, then there will be no major events in the surrounding countries in a year or two. After all, people also have some reserves, and the snow disaster does not last for a whole year, so there is half a year to farm.

At this time, the Taihao Dynasty was already self-sufficient, and even supported large quantities of grain and cotton clothing for the Warattars and Uliangha. Then in another three or four years, even in the Xiaoice River period, Ji Yang is sure to develop.

Just three or four years later, the small neighboring countries could not hold on one by one, and at that time, it was not possible to make a lot of money by exporting grain and cold materials, and there was no problem of lack of resources at all.

"This disaster can give us opportunity and it can also give the earth a recuperation. If my Taihao Dynasty unites and survives the disaster, it will also be a very good experience. Xiao Yinuan concluded.

"Just my two granaries of Shuchuan and Jizhou can feed half of the people of the Taihao Dynasty, not to mention that there is abundant grain in various places. So you don't have to worry about not having enough to eat at all, and those who are trying to hoard food to make money for the country had better calm down. Ji Yang said.

"If there are people who make money in the country, I hope that everyone will actively report to local newspapers, and we will definitely expose their ugly faces and make them embarrassed." Xiao Yinuan added.

"Well, I can promise here that the imperial court will absolutely support your disclosure of profiteers." Ji Yang said.

"Great, I thank the Holy God for the people of the Central Plains." Xiao Yinuan said.

"Don't thank me, the Taihao Dynasty is vast, and it is difficult for the imperial court alone to discover all the evils. Therefore, I hope that the people of the world will join the queue of supervision, and you can report to the newspaper and the imperial court if you find that there are profiteers who have misled the country, are arrogant and unkind, or the local government is corrupt. Ji Yang said.

"Let everyone in the world participate in the supervision, this is really ......" Xiao Yinuan and the three of them were dumbfounded, and the two assistants in charge of painting and recording stopped writing and looked at Ji Yang in shock.

"There's nothing surprising about this, the common people have eyes and ears, don't they see if I don't let them watch? Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, didn't he also speak widely and encourage the common people to go to Beijing to sue the emperor. Ji Yang said.

"But as far as I know, it seems to be very difficult for the Ming Dynasty to sue the emperor, and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered officials along the road not to obstruct it, and he also cut off the heads of many officials for this." Xiao Yinuan calmed down.

"Indeed, it is very difficult to sue the royal court, after all, my time is limited, and if everyone comes to me in trouble, I will not be able to see it. However, this time is different from the past, after the vigorous rectification of the officials of our court, and the appearance of telegrams and trains, not only is it much easier to sue the imperial court, even if it is not sued, I believe that there are definitely more Qing officials in the imperial court than in the previous court, and most problems can be properly handled. Ji Yang said.

"I am a scholar who has followed the official offices in various parts of the imperial court, and I know very well the intensity of the imperial court's crackdown on corruption in the past two years, and I also believe that the current dynasty is definitely much more incorruptible than the previous dynasty. Speaking of the telegraph and the train, the little woman wondered how these two things were developed. Xiao Yinuan said.

"For technical questions, you should ask the chief workers of the Star Workshop, they know better than me." When it comes to technical secrets, of course Ji Yang won't say it.

"So how did you reward them for the good things that the Nakshatra Workshop has developed for the benefit of the country and the people?" Xiao Yinuan's mind turned quickly.

"The R&D team rewarded 200,000 taels of silver, and the two chief engineers, Yang Taihe and Gong Yin, were named barons, and each gave a yin and yang talisman." Ji Yang just wanted to encourage folk craftsmen to engage in research and development, so he said this rich reward.

"Craftsmen can also be knighted?" Xiao Yinuan has been surprised several times today.

"Why not, the Ministry of Industry is among the eight ministries, which shows its importance. I know that people have always looked down on craftsmen and said that they are strange and hidden skills, but I want to say that the biggest difference between humans and beasts is not literature and martial arts, but also the ability to use tools. Ji Yang said.

"It seems that you attach great importance to craftsmen, and you even compare them to civil and military affairs." Xiao Yinuan said.

"I like the theory of yin and yang very much, civil and military is yin and yang, and gewu is the three talents. Tai Chi Yin and Yang Three Talents, and then there are four elephants, five elements, six elements, six stars, eight trigrams, nine palaces and ten directions, can you say which is more important? Ji Yang asked rhetorically.

"Tai Chi gives birth to yin and yang, and yin and yang transform all things. Every discipline has its importance, whether it is Confucianism, Gewu, Bing and Agriculture, they are all indispensable. Ji Yang said.

"I see what you mean, as long as it is an indispensable thing, we should pay attention to it, and we should not divide the high and the low." Xiao Yinuan said.

"You're smart." Ji Yang praised her again.
