"Old Wei, thank you so much this time, thank you for pulling my brother. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The casual words showed the familiarity of the speaker, as the emperor's two intelligence leaders, Luo Sigong and Wei Zhongxian were not unfamiliar.

"Hehe, Lao Luo, it's not me talking about you, your Jinyiwei is really not like words in recent years, no one has reported such a major intelligence as Ningbo, it's really time to rectify, this time for your sake, I brought it to you, but don't have a second time, I don't dare to carry it around." Wei Zhongxian said slowly, there are very few opportunities to preach to others, and the special feeling makes him feel a little refreshed.

"Yes, yes, yes! You're right, I was negligent. Luo Sigong nodded vigorously, "I'll change it immediately when I go back, the eight-hundred-mile rush is really lagging behind, and I will switch to carrier pigeons immediately, and I have to help you with Lao Wei in this regard!" ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Wei Zhongxian smiled magnanimously, his eyes narrowed, obviously Luo Sigong's attitude made him extremely useful.

What happened in Ningbo Port this time, in fact, was only the first to be discovered by the East Factory, and Jinyiwei, until now, there has been no news to report, before Luo Sigong's remarks in the report, all of them were made up by him, and they were completely exempted from punishment in the future.

After the two exchanged greetings again for a while, they separated, and after leaving the palace, Luo Sigong was finally able to take a breath, and this time the catastrophe was finally avoided, but the matter promised to Gonggong Wei should be done as soon as possible, so as not to cause more trouble.

Luo Sigong thought like this, and suddenly felt a little cold behind his back, he reached out to touch it, and found that his back was completely soaked, sticky, all sweat.

"Jinyiwei really should change, it's too slow." Luo Sigong slowly returned to the Jinyiwei lobby. Reform Jinyiwei, this is a big deal, I will mention it at most, and it is Your Majesty who really makes the idea, and I still have to do a good job of this thorough investigation first.

"Come, gather all the leaders, and go to the lobby to discuss the matter." After returning to the lobby, Luo Sigong got down, and the terrifying beast of Jinyiwei began to wake up.

That night, the Jinyi guard commanded the yamen to be brightly lit and the figures crowded until dawn.

Returning his gaze to the Qianqing Palace, after Luo Sigongxian retreated, Emperor Zhu Youxiao stared at the young Zhengchen, as if he was thinking about something.

And Yang Lian didn't move, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, let the emperor look at him, he didn't change this time, although he didn't know what the emperor summoned him to do at this time, but there was no harm in showing calmness.

"I want you to be a five-rank doctor and the editor-in-chief of the Imperial Daily, are you willing?" After being silent for a while, Zhu Youxiao spoke. Although the Navy fleet was very upset to him, he still did not delay his business.

"Doctor Wupin?" Yang Lian was stunned at first, but when he heard the words behind him, he reacted that the emperor wanted him to enter the inner mansion. The doctor is the five-rank rank of the inner government, which is equivalent to the prefect, of course, the power is not so great, but the status is the same, which was reported as early as in the imperial court's mansion newspaper.

As for the editor-in-chief of the Reich Daily, it was his dispatch, and this position did not have any treatment, but only indicated the scope of his powers. The rank determines his rank and treatment, and the dispatch determines the scope of his work, and this form of official appointment is somewhat similar to that of the Song Dynasty.

"The minister respectfully obeys the commandment." Yang Lian thought about these regulations of the inner government in his mind, but the movements of his hands were not slow, and after the emperor finished speaking, he received the order and thanked him.

"Don't underestimate this position, I will tell you clearly, this is an assessment of your workout, I want to see what kind of achievements you can make in this position." Zhu Youxiao said very directly, and his straightforward words made Yang Lian's face change slightly.

"I appointed you as the editor-in-chief of the Imperial Daily, not to let you review the manuscript in the past, but to let you find a way to develop the Imperial Daily, sell it throughout the country, and spread its influence to the whole world, as long as the Imperial influence can reach it, there will be the Imperial Daily."

After saying this sentence, which was similar to an expectation for the future, Zhu Youxiao threw a stack of newspapers in front of Yang Lian, "You see, the words on these newspapers, in addition to singing praises of virtue, are also singing praises of virtue, I created a blank paper for the public, not to see this, but to need influence, through the channel of newspapers, to influence the people of the whole world, so that they can listen to my voice." ”

Yang Lian bent down to pick up the newspaper, looked at the spittling emperor, and the other party seemed to come out of the shadow of failure, and began to tell his blood again. He had vaguely heard of the emperor's state, and it seemed that when it came to something new, the emperor would be like this, becoming a little crazy, or at best, pious.

Flipping through the newspapers, the things on it are indeed as the emperor said, there is nothing new, all of them are things that taste like chewing wax, he has also read these issues of the newspaper, except for the occasional disclosure above, about the emperor's victory or some recruitment advertisements, there is nothing that can make people's eyes shine.

Zhu Youxiao did not pay attention to these, but continued to hope for the newspaper, "The newspaper is destined to be a new position in the future, no, or rather, it is a new and effective way to influence the position that has existed for a long time, what I want is not this kind of old-fashioned thing, but a way to educate the people of the world, open up the wisdom of the people, and let them open their eyes to the world." ”

"Educate the world." The emperor's words made Yang Lian's heart move, the corners of his eyes twitched, as if he thought of something incredible, only to see him suddenly raise his head, looking at the young emperor with a somewhat frightened expression, he only understood at this moment how terrible this young emperor was.

The next moment, Zhu Youxiao said the words that he had basically determined in his heart, but he didn't dare to hear, "I want to use newspapers to influence their thinking and control public opinion in the world." ”

Yes, public opinion, a word that seems inconsequential, but has a terrible power lurking, Donglin rises by him, and Shilin grasps the power of the countryside by it.

Yang Lian was silent, he didn't expect that behind this small newspaper, there was such a huge ambition of the emperor lurking, he wanted to pinch this position that has been held by the family and scholars for thousands of years in his own hands, if the emperor really succeeds, who else can stop him in this land?

Thinking of this, Yang Lian was silent, he didn't know what he should do, so he defected to the emperor and betrayed the class he belonged to? But what if you don't betray yourself, the emperor can still do it by changing someone.

Zhu Youxiao stopped his talking, and he also noticed Yang Lian's strange silence, and obviously, he guessed the other party's worries, didn't he know the transfer of control of public opinion.

Thinking of these, he once again threw out his killer weapon and persuaded Yang Lian to agree, "Newspapers can not only guide public opinion, but also have a certain responsibility of supervision and supervision. For such a person who secretly investigates the people's feelings, I call him a reporter. ”

"Newspapers are a place of justice." Zhu Youxiao concluded.

Hearing these descriptions of reporters, Yang Lian's eyes suddenly rippled, he didn't expect that there were so many tricks on a small newspaper, showing justice, isn't this what he has been pursuing. And it can be announced that the shady curtains of local and official officials can be announced, so what about changing the object?

Like what...... Honorable nobles, such as the relatives of the ....... emperor, and then the ....... emperor!!

When the emperor does something wrong, can he make it public and let him *** to advise? Yang Lian was very smart, he thought of so much at once, so deeply.

"The minister ..... understood, Weichen will live up to His Majesty's trust, and he will definitely carry forward the Imperial Daily." Yang Lian bowed deeply.

"It's good to understand, it's good to understand." Zhu Youxiao smiled incomprehensibly and waved him to step back. Yang Lian's reaction was always in his eyes, what he was thinking, Zhu Youxiao could probably guess that as a person who came out of a developed society of consulting, how could he not know what the other party's purpose was.

These are the remaining tricks played by the media in later generations. However, in this regard, Zhu Youxiao will not have too many restrictions, since in terms of power, he has broken the constraints of the emperor and ministers, then it is necessary to establish another supervision and restraint mechanism, although this mechanism is very fragile, but it is also more effective, isn't it?

As for Yang Lian's attention, Zhu Youxiao didn't care, he may not know that there is a trick called qualification examination, not everyone can start a newspaper, and there is also a trick, called state secrets, not all news can be published in the newspaper.

After sending Yang Lian away, Zhu Youxiao returned to the study and began to write articles, since the army has to wait for the formation and cannot be moved lightly, then the momentum of public opinion will start first, first use a strong public opinion offensive, let the subjects of the entire empire brainstorm, and then the resistance to various reforms will be much smaller.

Writing and writing, Zhu Youxiao himself couldn't help but snicker, he didn't know what the Ming Dynasty scholars would react to when they saw tomorrow's rejuvenated Imperial Daily. What an impact it will have when these issues of the Imperial Daily spread throughout the world.

"Life, it's really beautiful, just write something when it's okay, paste it on the water, and stir up some wind and waves, it's also very interesting." Zhu Youxiao thought comfortably, and he decided that he must do more such things in the future, otherwise when their knowledge gradually became richer and more open, there would be no more interesting things like this.

Chapter 230 Change

After Yang Lian left the palace, he went straight to the editorial office of the Imperial Daily, which was a small two-story building located outside the Daming Gate, located behind the various departments, in a secluded location.

"From this day on, I am the editor-in-chief of the Imperial Daily, and I am fully responsible for the distribution of the Imperial Daily." After walking in the door, Yang Lian said to the editorial team members of two or three large and small cats, in an indifferent tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"Now, I say, you write." Yang Lian pointed to a young document, and then went straight to start chanting, it was a piece of exquisite eight-strand text, which was Yang Lian's study experience of many years of scriptures, although it was not profound, but it was quite innovative, and it could play a role in throwing bricks and attracting jade.

"Lord Yang, Your Majesty asked our family to send it over." After Yang Lian finished speaking, Liu Ruoyu's voice suddenly appeared, "Your Majesty asked Lord Yang to publish this article on the first page tomorrow." ”

"Okay, Grandpa Liu, I'll handle it." Yang Lian's result manuscript, after reading it, his face changed several times, which was extremely exciting.

"What else are you all watching, and you don't go out for interviews?" After coming back to his senses, Yang Lian found that the people in the editorial department were staring at him, and he couldn't help but roar angrily.

"Interview!?" Several Xiucai editors glanced at each other, unclear.

"It's just asking people in the streets and alleys, asking soldiers, asking officials, asking people, asking their opinions on certain things, everyone goes, and everyone hands me a manuscript before dark." Yang Lian roared again, and everyone was driven out by his momentum of Qi Zhenshan He.

"Whew! Much more comfortable! Looking at the manuscript written by the emperor in his hand, Yang Lian couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "I don't know how much trouble this kind of manuscript will cause." ”

The next day, as soon as the day dawned, the newsboys began to sell along the street, and some of them developed designated customers, and even ran directly to put the newspapers away.

After Zuo Guangdou got up, he also bought a newspaper, as Yang Lian's friend, the first newspaper after the other party took office, he had to support it. Just after one glance, he poofed and squirted out of his mouth.

I saw that the front page of the front page was written with the title of Dou Da -- On the Necessity of Change.

"Time has changed and the world has changed, the world has changed and events, since the ancient times, there has not been a long-term unchanged, the Ming Dynasty has been established for two hundred years, and its ceremonial system has been from the beginning of the country, so far the customs and human feelings have been convenient, but the system has not changed, I think it is inappropriate."

It's not right, it's not your sister!

Zuo Guangdou really wanted to yell like this, but with a good upbringing, he still didn't have a seizure in public after all. He quickly browsed this article, the article is not long, and the whole article is about the necessity of change, and it is even more about comparing the health center at the beginning of the country with the current health office, saying that the unchanged will end up like this.

These are not the key, the key is the other party's pointing tone, the posture is extremely high-profile, commenting on the emperor, talking about the past and the present, it is simply a model of death.

He flipped to the end and looked at the famous, called Frontier Expansion, a very unfamiliar name, and the style of writing did not match the person in his mind.

After searching for a long time, he couldn't figure out where the author came from, so he could only shake his head and give up, "This guy, is this because it's not hot enough now, add another handful of firewood?" ”

The emperor said on the day he ascended the throne that he wanted to reform, and at that time, no one objected to the Red Pill case, but now the gaffe has subsided, and the tide of opposition has gradually risen.

"It's really stormy!" Zuo Guangdou smashed his mouth and continued to look down.

The later articles are much more interesting, mostly introductory, some introduce Liaodong, briefly describe the new policy there, saying that only if there are people who emigrate, there will be a share of land, and farming there is tax-free, and there is no need to pay taxes for the rest of your life. The corners of Zuo Guangdou's eyes jumped when he saw this article, "Brag, brag!" ”

Thinking so in his heart, he did have a faint belief that this was the Imperial Daily, the mouthpiece of the emperor, and there could be no fake news on it.

"Sun Zhi has a good method, and the Imperial Daily has spread far-reaching, attracting immigrants on it, which is really a great benefit." Looking at the above article introducing the geographical customs of Liaodong, Zuo Guangdou had to say a word of service.

Just when he was thinking like this, there was a commotion on the street next to him, and Zuo Guangdou looked at the bullhead, but it was a young man in Tsing Yi, holding a newspaper, reading aloud, and the content was Liaodong.

Before Xiucai finished reading, the streets began to shout.

"Hey, is this tax-free? It's still free for the rest of your life, where can there be such a good thing! ”

"Is this true, the conditions in Liaodong are so good!"

"Yes, yes, if you go, how to go!"

"Xiucai, tell me, what's written on it?"

"As mentioned above, go to the police station to sign up, and when there are more people, they will be sent over." Xiucai shouted loudly, and more and more people around him gathered, all asking about this. Not far away, another person from the annual newspaper is also like this, here is the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there are more people who read and write.

"This ........" Seeing this, Zuo Guangdou was dumbfounded, he expected that this article would cause a huge sensation, but he didn't expect this sensation to come so suddenly, far beyond his estimate. Turning his back, he looked at the text written by his friend, and his heart suddenly became hot, if his book could be published on it and read by many people......

As soon as today's edition of the newspaper was released, many people were amazed, and the article advocating the emperor's reform, the duty-free policy in Liaodong, Yang Lian's Jingyi, and the introduction of the Tai Hospital were all eye-opening. Countless scholars in the Jingshi realm are talking about whether there are people who are too bad in the hospital, some are wondering whether to go to Liaodong to be recruited, and some tenant farmers are discussing whether to go to Liaodong to reclaim.

In short, today this newspaper has become the object of discussion in the entire Jingshi. Since then, the style of the Imperial Daily has changed drastically, and the newspaper that is published every three days is no longer the official article of the past, but has been replaced by various propaganda and introduction pages, including various discussions of scriptures and meanings, introductions to overseas customs and customs, descriptions of anecdotes in various places, and propaganda of various policies in Liaodong.

The scale of the Imperial Daily is also expanding day by day under Yang Lian's hands, he opened branches in various provincial capitals, and in addition to collecting news from all over the country, he delivered the latest issue of the newspaper with a fast horse and then printed it locally, so that although there will be delays in the farther places, it is not much to care about for the influence of the daily newspaper.

The reporter system is also gradually promoted, every province has it, they run around, collect information from all over the world, with the gradual improvement of the Imperial Daily, Zhu Youxiao in addition to the factory guard, there is another source of information.

And Yang Lian, in this increasingly busy work, also experienced the great role of propaganda.
