Creating a newspaper seems to be a trendy thing, but it is fundamentally a written thing, and Ning Yu can't find some people who are open-minded enough to do it, so although Lu Yizhong, Yan Hongkui and Peng Qifeng are all believers in Confucianism, Ning Yu will not choose to abandon it.

Speaking of which, Ning Yu is in a very embarrassing situation at the moment, that is, this empire seems to be full of talents, but most of them are old-fashioned talents who believe in Confucianism, so Ning Yu does not have too many choices when selecting and employing people. Especially when he was fighting the world in the early stage, Ning Yu also adopted an attitude of wooing Confucian scholars as a whole.

At that time, although a Fuhan government university was also created, and Li Fu changed the teaching materials in a targeted manner, it was difficult to break away from the framework of this era after all, so there was nothing particularly surprising about Ning Yu, but no matter what, this was also the first pickaxe that Ning Yu dug into Confucianism.

Therefore, when Ningyu set off a reform, then the reform in the ideological field was logically mentioned on the agenda, and the newspaper was one of the important measures, the person who wrote it was a Confucian master, and the person who read it was also a Confucian scholar, so Ningyu planned to use the newspaper to realize the transformation of Confucianism little by little unconsciously.

However, there is also a problem here, that is, whether it is Lu Yizhong, Yan Hongkui and Peng Qifeng, they are all orthodox supporters of Confucianism, what kind of things can be written with their thoughts, Ning Yu can almost think of it with his ass, such things are not what Ning Yu wants, so the relevant brainwashing is indispensable.

"Chen Lu Yizhong has seen the emperor!"

"Minister Yan Hongkui has seen the emperor!"

"Weichen Peng Qifeng, I have seen the emperor!"

Soon, under the guidance of the chamberlain, the three of them all brought Fengtian Palace, but when they saw Ning Yu with an excited face, their faces were a little weird, and they didn't dare to look more, so they bowed their hands one after another.

Lu Yizhong and Yan Hongkui don't need to say much, since they arrived in Wuchang, they have been very supportive of Ning Chu, and after the establishment of Da Chu, the two of them can be regarded as receiving a certain reward - Wenhuadian University Scholar, the official rank is not particularly high, it belongs to the second grade, and it is juxtaposed with the various Shangshu, but in terms of power, Ning Chu's bachelor is an honorary title, and it is far from being comparable with the bachelor of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Lu Yizhong and Yan Hongkui have no greater ambitions, and it is enough to have the reward of a scholar, and Yan Hongkui's disciple Shen Zaikuan has also obtained a position as a magistrate, so he is naturally grateful to Ning Chu at the moment.

Compared with the old-timers who have achieved fame next to him, the champion Peng Qifeng is more or less a sense of loss, he folded the crown in one fell swoop, and his heart was also a little excited and excited, and later the official also entered the chamber of the Chu Palace, and after the establishment of the Great Chu, he was also appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy, it seems that everything is normal, but he has been in Ning Chu for a long time, of course, he knows that the current Hanlin Academy is not like that!

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the first assistant of the cabinet must be born in Hanlin, so the noble Hanlin Academy has become the world's first-class origin, and the top three on the first list are indispensable to the exercise of the Hanlin Academy.

But today's Ning Chu, with the change of the system, is not the case at all, the Hanlin Academy is under the Ministry of Education, and the future promotion path is basically in the circle of the Ministry of Education, wanting to be the first assistant of the cabinet? Dream on!

You must know that the current Ning Chu believes in a policy, the prime minister must start from the state department, and the fierce general must be sent to the army, and he wants to be promoted without grassroots work experience? Stop dreaming!

Therefore, after Peng Qifeng was assigned to the Hanlin Academy, he even felt hopeless, and everyone who watched the end of the government with him went to a better place, Liu Tongxun went to Xiaogan County, the imperial township, to make a county order, Wang Youdun went to Daye, a key place, to make a county order, and Chen Dashou entered the Ministry of Finance, which is also a good errand, and Wu Jingzi is even more amazing, directly entered the executive Yuan company, and became a deputy director, although the level is not high, but the power is scared to death.

On the contrary, he was born in Peng Qifeng, but now he is the most depressed, and the ups and downs in his heart can be imagined, and now he has been summoned by the emperor, and the whole person is a little nervous, and his voice is a little trembling when he speaks.

Ning Yu glanced at Peng Qifeng deeply and said with a smile: "Hanwen, how are you doing lately?" I put you in the Hanlin Academy, do you know why? ”

Peng Qifeng calmed down the excitement in his heart and said in a low voice: "Weichen thinks that this is the emperor's tempering of his ministers...... The minister's heart is as happy as a ......."

These words are just clichés, in fact, Peng Qifeng still hopes that Ning Yu can reuse him, at least he can't continue to stay in the Hanlin Academy, whether it is staying in the Executive Yuan or going to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or going to the local government as an official, it is a good choice.

Ning Yu shook his head slightly, "Hanwen, I will give you a chance to exercise, but it is different from what you imagined, staying in the Hanlin Academy, just I further confirmed my thoughts." ”

What he said was clueless, but it made Peng Qifeng and Yan Hongkui a little puzzled, but on the contrary, Lu Yi seemed to have some understanding in the center, but his eyes when he looked at Peng Qifeng were much softer.

"I thought that your Peng Qifeng's talent was by no means worse than that of several others, but the place where your talent is embodied is completely different."

Ning Yu said slowly, he tried his best to express his thoughts in a tactful way, after all, the values of this era are actually very simple, many people's ideas of being officials are to do things in the world, in order to do all kinds of civil affairs, if you tell him that you can't do it, it will be a very big blow to a person's confidence.

"Liu Tongxun and Wang Youdun are the future feudal talents, good at secular affairs, I will put them at the grassroots level to do practical things, as long as they do not make mistakes in the future, there will be no opportunities for high positions in the cabinet in the future; Wu Jingzi is cautious and does not mess up, so it is also suitable to run a company, and Chen Dashou is proficient in calculations and has a good mind, and the Ministry of Finance can show his talents......."

After Ning Yu talked about these people one by one, he looked at Peng Qifeng, who was suffering from gains and losses, and said meaningfully: "But only you, Peng Qifeng, can really get in-depth research in learning, but it is a pity to put such a talent in the officialdom, I let you enter the Hanlin Academy is just a place of excess, but now there is an opportunity to show your talents to the fullest......"

Peng Qifeng bowed deeply and sighed: "The minister is not good at mundane affairs, and he has no ability to break the bottle, so that His Majesty worries too much, the minister is really ashamed of His Majesty, Your Majesty has orders, and the minister will never give up!" ”

Ning Yu laughed, "I don't want you to die, but there is indeed one thing for you to do, that is, to create my first newspaper in Dachu, and use the pen in your hand to bring a world to the people of my Dachu." ”

"Newspapers?"

Not only Peng Qifeng didn't understand it, but even Lu Yizhong and Yan Hongkui on the side felt a little confused, but they probably guessed that the purpose of summoning the three of them over must be for the sake of this newspaper.

"I think that why did the "King James Constitution" and the "Great Chu Tianmu System" formulated this time be repeatedly frustrated? The reason is that people all over the world don't understand my good intentions and the benefits of the new policy, so they will have a sense of resistance, and I don't blame them, but I hope that through the form of newspapers, people in the world can know the policies of the imperial court and understand my intentions. ”

Ning Yu's face was a little grim, in fact, the decree from top to bottom, it is easy to go out of shape, like Wang Anshi's change is a profound lesson, the starting point of many decrees is good, but after it is really implemented in the locality, it has almost become the opposite direction, the original move to benefit the people has become a move to harm the people, so it is very important to use newspapers to maintain a communication channel between the top and bottom.

As soon as Peng Qifeng heard what Ning Yu said, he was extremely excited, he was originally a newcomer to officialdom, or went to the Hanlin Academy, and he still had a lot of bearing for the country and the people in his heart, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, if this measure can be implemented, the people of Li Shu in the world can clearly understand the national politics, and there will be fewer misunderstandings and disputes, and they will be more deeply aware of Your Majesty's intentions." ”

Ning Yu smiled: "It's just that if this newspaper wants to convey its due meaning, it can't lack the person who writes it, otherwise no one will read it, of course, the person who writes the main writer needs everyone in the literary world..... I thought that Mr. Lu and Mr. Yan were Jiangnan Confucians, and they should be in charge of this matter. He can be the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief. ”

When the two of them heard this, they immediately received the order of thanksgiving, but compared to the young Peng Qifeng, Lu Yizhong, who was already a lot of age, had experienced a lot of things, so he hesitated a little at the moment, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, although this move is good, it will inevitably be used by some people, if it falls into the hands of traitors, I am afraid it will cause chaos." ”

Ning Yu smiled slightly, of course he understood that if the newspaper was not controlled well, the consequences would be very serious, but he had already taken relevant measures.

"I am determined to set up a Department of Press and Publication under the Propaganda Department, which is responsible for the publication of books and the distribution of newspapers and periodicals throughout the country, and the newspapers and periodicals issued in the future need to be registered with the Department of Press and Publication, and the department is also responsible for the review of their contents.

After that, Ning Yu looked at Peng Qifeng and said with a smile: "This matter is a great responsibility, I hope you can take up this important responsibility and not live up to my expectations." ”

Peng Qifeng was slightly excited in his heart, the position of deputy director of Zheng Wupin was enough to surprise him, not to mention that Jian Zai's heart was in the emperor's heart, and he immediately saluted: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

"The front of this newspaper can mainly focus on the decrees of the imperial court, and these decrees promulgated by me can be broken and crumpled one by one, and I will tell you in detail, and then some major events that happened in the imperial court can also be registered....... Of course, many things are not mature now, but they can be published once a month and added as appropriate in the future. ”

Ning Yu tirelessly instructed, he didn't want to screw up this first thing, and this newspaper was not all at the moment, and in the future, he would gradually open up the journalism industry, so that more newspapers in the private sector could participate in it on the premise of meeting the requirements, so that there would be a few more ways to come out.

"The ministers know, but they also ask the emperor to give a name for this report."

Ning Yu thought about it carefully, but he never thought of any satisfactory name, so he smiled and said, "The two of you are great talents, but what do you think?" ”

Lu Yizhong smiled and said softly: "We are waiting for scholars to stand in the world, as the so-called 'reading is righteous, and aspiring to crown the clear stream', it is better to call it the clear stream newspaper." ”

"Clear Stream Newspaper ......."

Ning Yu chewed on this name gently, he was actually a little unfamiliar in his heart, you must know that when Qingliu at the end of the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, he didn't do anything really when his family and country fell, but this name was proposed by Lu Yizhong, and he no longer objected to it at the moment.

The clear stream will be the clear stream, anyway, when the time comes, you will have to get a 'turbid current' to fight it!

It is a very normal thing to have party strife within the imperial court, even if it is the start-up Dachu now, there are such problems, including the Qingliu Newspaper established now, which will also be used by others in the future, which is a very normal thing, but Ning Yu will not worry at all, because in his plan, there is more than one Qingliu newspaper in the future......

For Ning Yu, now it is more about solving the problem of whether there is a newspaper, only if there is a newspaper first, which can be disseminated among the readers as much as possible, and then some more easy-to-understand newspapers can be run and spread among the ordinary people, even if the people are illiterate, it doesn't matter, there are newspaper readers in the city.......

Strictly speaking, what Ning Yu has to do now is to tear a hole in the discourse power of the traditional Confucian scholars, even if it is a Confucian scholar, it doesn't matter, tear the hole, and you can also instill some different things into it in the future, as long as the time is long enough, then sooner or later, the right to speak will be completely held by Ning Yu.

Soon, there was a new sign under the Propaganda Department of the Executive Yuan - the Department of Press and Publication, which was a bit confusing for Ning Zhongquan, the secretary of the Propaganda Department.

It's just that before Ning Zhongquan figured it out, the first version of the Qingliu newspaper was officially released, and there were not many words on it, four plates the size of tofu, carrying four articles, although the range was not long, but they were all about the current major policies of the imperial court, and the essence of the words was quite good.

"What a good article! Whose work is this? Is it going to be played for the emperor? Ning Zhongquan read it well, but he turned his head and sat in the main hall of the Press and Publication Department, watching it with relish.

"Lord Qiyu, this is the first edition of the Qingliu Newspaper, which is the masterpiece of Mr. Lu and Mr. Yan, and it is to be presented to the emperor." Peng Qifeng had a faint smile on his face, he had found his own path, and now his mental state was much better.

"Qingliu Bao, good! That's what I need in my big chu! If there is a new one in the future, remember to send one to the king......"

Ning Zhongquan reluctantly handed over the newspaper in his hand, and earnestly advised, "The emperor will not blame the emperor for the good writing, but don't worry, this king will never let outsiders know......"

Although he knew that Ning Zhongquan was such a character, Peng Qifeng still felt a little funny at this time, he shook his head, took the newspaper and said, "Lord Wang, in the future, this newspaper can be bought on the streets and alleys......."

"Can you buy it on the street? It's simply unheard of....."

Ning Zhongquan looked at Peng Qifeng in front of him, and shook his head after all, this world has really changed!
