Chapter 173: A Thousand Daughters Buy Horse Bones (I)
Qiushi Newspaper is about to be published, so how to select the first issue of the article is the one thing Zhu Yunwen cares about the most at present.
That's why he left the cabinet behind.
In Zhu Yunwen's heart, the main responsibilities of Qiushi Bao are two points: one is to control the social ideological form, and the other is to bring down the Confucian family.
But the basis for the realization of this second point is based on the things that can only be operated after the first point is mature, so how to control the ideological form of the Ming society at this time is something that Zhu Yunwen has to think about.
Thoughts are invisible and intangible, and they are also physical objects that cannot be captured, it is not that he Zhu Yunwen published two articles in Qiushi Newspaper that sang the praises of virtue, and the Shilin students in the world regarded him Zhu Yunwen as an ancestor, which was nonsense.
"Qiushi Bao is about to open, and I don't know much about the content of this first issue, so I still hope that the cabinet secretaries can give me some suggestions."
As soon as Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, the chamberlain added new tea and snacks to the four members of the cabinet.
The four of them were silent, Zhu Yunwen didn't reveal a clear letter, they didn't have a score in their hearts, and they didn't know where to start for a while, until Zhu Yunwen named him.
"Shiqi, you are now the head of the cabinet, let's talk about it first."
Above the court, in terms of the ability to work in scheming, Yang Shiqi naturally ranked first in Zhu Yunwen's heart, and the first assistant was elected that day, and he saw Yang Shiqi's means of playing at the time, but it was just a common killing.
However, since Yu Xin has no brains, and he is too confident in advance that he Yu Xin has been ten out of ten, so that he is so popular with Yang Shiqi that he does not dare to be the first assistant when he is elected, he Zhu Yunwen pushed the boat down the river to help Yang Shiqi for a ride, since you want to be, then I will let you be, see how much ability you can have.
"The minister is still thinking, let's invite Yu Ge Lao and others to come forward first."
Yang Shiqi's answer surprised Zhu Yunwen, this Yang Shiqi even had a time when he couldn't make up his mind?
Since Yang Shiqi was reluctant to say it now, Zhu Yunwen looked at the other three again: "Since Shiqi hasn't thought about it yet, are the three of them willing to volunteer?" ”
Yu Xin and the three of them were also a little hesitant after looking at each other, and at this time, they saw that Xie Jin's boldness was coming, and he now urgently needed the opportunity to perform in front of the emperor.
It's rare that even Yang Shiqi, the big brother, didn't speak, that is really a God-given opportunity for me to show my face!
What is the emperor's purpose in making this retribution?
This is the starting point of the foundation, and we must first grasp the central idea and figure out the holy will. In Xie Jin's heart, Zhu Yunwen's purpose in seeking truth is to promote the legitimacy of Zhu Ming's country and his merits as an emperor.
Blow it and it's over.
"This seeking truth is a new thing, and in a few days it will turn the New Year into the New Year, and the two new ones together are 'Xinxin' Xiangrong, so the minister thinks that the first article of this Qiushi newspaper should publish all the glorious achievements of my Ming Dynasty over the years, so that the people of the world and Shilin students are honored."
After speaking, Xie Jin also gave examples including how Taizu saved the nation, the Northern Expedition to recover the rivers and mountains, the fishing of the sea to annihilate the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the quelling of the rebellion in Liaodong, the opening of the southwest and the expansion of the sea in the southeast since Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne.
Isn't this just boasting about history and cultivating the people's sense of national and national honor?
Zhu Yunwen was silent, of course this will be one of the contents of the newspaper, but it should not be used as the main propaganda duty, the sense of national honor of the country, relying on the propaganda of the government's mainstream media alone is actually not very useful, it has to be felt by the people themselves, just relying on the baptism between the lines, it is nothing more than washing out a group of arrogant Yelang.
Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was silent, Xie Jin's face suddenly became bitter, and he felt that he seemed to be in the wrong position this time, and couldn't help but glance at Yang Shiqi sadly, why did Yang Shiqi shoot so steadily and ruthlessly every time he patted his fart?
"What is the opinion of Elder Fang Ge?"
For Fang Xiaoru, Zhu Yunwen still has a lot of 'expectations', the first person in Confucianism, on the Manchu Dynasty in the Confucian doctrine, Fang Xiaoru is recognized as a big bull, I hope to have some insight.
Fang Xiaoru hesitated for a long time and said a lot of personal opinions, which made Zhu Yunwen 'impressed', well, it was all fake and empty. Probably the meaning is that under the wise leadership of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, the Ming Dynasty is now reforming the old and making the new, everything is fine, by the way, looking forward to the future, I hope that the place and the center will work together, and the Ming Dynasty will be better in the future.
This kind of empty talk has a place in later generations, not to mention the Ming Dynasty, which is willing to talk nonsense from top to bottom.
Alas, Fang Xiaoru really didn't disappoint Zhu Yunwen, and his level can only be like this.
The two young ones were eliminated, and the rest, except for Yang Shiqi, who didn't know what he was thinking, was left with Yu Xin, the central financial director, Zhu Yunwen hoped that Yu Xin could come up with something constructive.
"Report the finances."
Yu Xin's sentence made Zhu Yunwen's eyes suddenly brighten.
Reporting the financial income and expenditure of the imperial court is indeed a great thing worth mentioning.
Put the income of Jianwen for three years, and by the way, put the income of the court in the thirty-first year of Hongwu, the data may be vague, but it is enough to intuitively reflect the strength of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and it is enough to objectively explain the achievements of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor!
Annual report GDP, report the increase in per capita income, and report how many people have been lifted out of poverty and become well-off, as long as the rise is high, it means that it is better than the predecessor.
The group of people at the bottom, who can't reach the top of politics, what do they know? They only know who makes them live well, they love whom, and if they are poor, they will be alone, and if they don't stand on the top of the mountain, who can see the clouds at a glance?
Yu Xin's reminder is good, not only the income should be reported, but also the expenditure!
Where does the Ming plan to spend money, report it out so that everyone in the world knows, it is conducive to the supervision and reporting of the people, and the commercial taxes escorted by the provinces are counted, which is reported by the provinces to the central government, whether there is a hidden situation of greedy ink, the central government is not sure, but the local government is absolutely clear, report it, and the local government will reconcile it by itself.
In this part of the expenditure, there is not much room for operation of military spending and the Ministry of Officials, but the expenditure of the Ministry of Industry is huge, let the local Confucian scholars supervise it, and the imperial court records how many taels of silver, as a result, how many workers you have recruited, how many industrial and commercial banks you have opened, and you will know how much concealment there is when you calculate the number.
According to Zhu Yunwen's rules for reporting truth, there is a reward for reporting!
is worthy of being a financial background, Yu Xin has made contributions in the two fields of politics and anti-corruption with a reminder, this is the cadre that Daming needs.
Even Yu Xin has such a ability, so what about Yang Shiqi?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunwen looked forward to Yang Shiqi's next thoughts even more, so he moved his eyes, not only Zhu Yunwen, but also the other three people in the cabinet looked at Yang Shiqi.
What was Yang Shiqi thinking at this time?
He was wondering why Yang Pu was suddenly and inexplicably imprisoned!
If he, the head of the cabinet, wanted to know who was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, he would not be able to hide him, including the charges of being imprisoned.
Yang Pu was imprisoned for the crime of failing to honor the emperor.
Lost in front of the Emperor?
Yang Shiqi still has some understanding of this backward who has the same surname as himself, this Yang Pu is cautious and old-fashioned by nature, and has his own shameless charm, unless he has a brain disease, he will commit a big disrespect in front of the emperor that is enough to go to prison, otherwise how could he suddenly be thrown into prison by Zhu Yunwen?
Since Yang Pu's brain is not sick, then the possibility that he said the wrong thing in front of the emperor is ruled out, and the rest of the things that are enough to make him go to prison are only to see what he shouldn't see and hear what he shouldn't hear!
Yang Pu was in charge of the imperial escort to prepare the holy decree, and the day he was sent to the edict happened to be the day when the central government surrendered to the original Qi King Zhu Yu and the former Hanshan Marquis Yang Wen, will there be any connection between them?
What happened in that place in Shandong, and Yang Pu was sent to prison for his kung fu to draw up a holy decree?
Thinking about the fact that he learned from Zhu Gaochi that night that the emperor had privately taught a group of officials in recent years, thinking about the role of this truth-seeking report in the future, and then thinking about what Shandong Province had, Yang Shiqi suddenly understood everything in his heart.
The Shandong Confucian family must have committed something and spread it into Zhu Yunwen's ears, and the emperor is now dealing with it secretly, Yang Pu will inevitably hear a scale and a half claw before driving the emperor, so he will be sent to prison! In order not to show the wind!
The emperor wanted to fulfill Taizu's unfulfilled wish and wanted to bring down the Confucian family, and seeking truth was the ideological battlefield chosen by Zhu Yunwen, and overthrew the Confucian family's sacred status by controlling the thoughts of Confucian scholars in the world.
The main purpose of this quest should be how to gain the loyalty of the Confucian scholars!
Only by understanding all the causes and consequences can it be a good time to really grasp the emperor's heart and make suggestions.
After the idea was understood, Yang Shiqi had a smile on his face, looked at Zhu Yunwen and said: "Your Majesty, Qiushi Newspaper has just opened, and the Confucian scholars in the world still don't know much about this newspaper. ”
After a pause, he replied and said: "By the way, the minister has a reluctant request, the minister has just assumed the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, although the provincial governments have already learned through the Di Bao, but Rulin does not know much, it is better to take this opportunity to let the cabinet ministers also show their faces, and introduce them." ”
Zhu Yunwen instantly narrowed his eyes.
