After dinner, in the study room of Zhang's mansion, Zhang Mingwei and Zhu Yujiao sat around a round table. The table was full of materials.

Zhang Mingwei looked at the classified information and said to Zhu Yujiao: "In the future, I will leave this news collection to Yuanyuan." ”

"I've already told her a little bit this afternoon." When Zhu Yujiao heard this, she immediately replied.

Chen Yuanyuan faced Zhang Mingwei, obviously a little unnatural, and didn't dare to look at people, but nodded after hearing the words.

When Zhang Mingwei saw it, he said to Chen Yuanyuan: "Don't underestimate this news collection, it is of great significance for the imperial court to control the situation and for the Ming Dynasty." ”

This is definitely not a casual talk, you must know that in the later generations, why millet plus rifles can win against those of American weapons and German equipment, the intelligence is so serious, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but raise his head, and finally looked at Zhang Mingwei, nodded slightly, but still said with a little worry: "Master, the concubine is afraid that she will not do well and delay the master's big event!" ”

Women are inherently insensitive to politics, and even if they are trained to express their opinions on current affairs, even if they are trained to express their opinions on current affairs, it is only to cope with the chatter of Shilin Gongzi's buddies. What's more, it's the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which cultivates how they can please men and maintain men's curiosity about them.

At this time, when Chen Yuanyuan heard what Xingguo Gong was going to give her, they were all related to Ming Zhongxing, and it was said that it had a very important meaning, which made her feel that the burden on her shoulders suddenly became so heavy.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It's okay, you do what I say, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be competent." ”

Being encouraged by him like this, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but cheer up, nodded vigorously, and said "um" seriously.

For the classification and screening of market news and obtaining useful news, Zhu Yujiao has already told her, and she already knows it.

Therefore, after Zhang Mingwei roughly asked Chen Yuanyuan what he knew, he explained to her: "In addition to these things, you have another important thing in the future, which is to guide public opinion, not only the public opinion of the Beijing Division, but also the public opinion of the Ming Dynasty, and even in the future, including the public opinion of the whole world, you must control it." ”

Hearing this, even Zhu Yujiao and Fei Zhen'e couldn't help but be surprised: How to do such a big thing? Can it be done well?

Chen Yuanyuan, who was the party concerned, was even more apprehensive, and was obviously a little uneasy.

When Zhang Mingwei saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course, this is just the goal." For now, you first influence the public opinion of Jingshi. It can't be like before, those Jin merchants sent some people to spread rumors, and they confused a large group of people. ”

Don't look at rumors as if they are wrong and hurt people, in fact, this invisible lethality is the most deadly.

To put it mildly, when Chen Yuanyuan rose before, there were many people who were popular, and he was definitely attacked by rumors, so he felt it more deeply. Hearing Zhang Mingwei's words, she hurriedly asked, "What should the concubine do?" ”

Although she has a little experience in dealing with it, but now that it is a major event in the court, she is not a little sure.

Zhu Yujiao and Fei Zhen'e have even less experience in this area, and they couldn't figure out how to control the public opinion of the Beijing Division, so they all stared at Zhang Mingwei and listened with their ears pricked up.

"This matter is actually very simple, that is, let the people get used to where to get the news, and control the source of the news." Zhang Mingwei began to talk about things that belonged to later generations, "such as running newspapers and magazines, opera storytelling, and so on." ”

In fact, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there were already people who tried to control public opinion through these things. One of the most famous examples is that when Wen Tiren was the first assistant, in order to deal with the growing Fushe, he asked his younger brother Wen Yuren and Wu Bing to write the opera "The Legend of Green Peony", exposing the truth about the control of the imperial examination by the people in the Fushe.

"What is a newspaper or magazine, sir?" Zhu Yujiao really couldn't understand, so she asked curiously.

Of course she knows about opera storytelling, but she doesn't know what newspapers and magazines are.

Zhang Mingwei listened to it and said with a smile: "It's Di Bao, but our content is richer than Di Bao and attracts more people to read it." ”

The Ming Dynasty had a newspaper, and there was a special agency, that is, the Department of General Administration, to issue this newspaper. By the eleventh year of Chongzhen, movable type printing was used to publish the newspaper, and the scale of the text was larger.

However, the Di newspapers are all about the major events of the imperial court, and they are for the local government, which is obviously different from the newspapers of later generations, and is more similar to the internal reference.

As soon as they heard this, several people present immediately understood what the newspaper was all about. However, Zhu Yujiao was still very curious and asked, "Sir, if this newspaper is similar to the Di newspaper, can it control Youyou's mouth?" ”

Public opinion, public opinion, or something, for them, it's really a bit difficult to remember, but in other words, they are easy to understand. And relatively speaking, this is another way of speaking, and they realize that it seems to be very difficult.

In this regard, Zhang Mingwei smiled and said: "In fact, it is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yujiao and the others couldn't help but be very interested and listened attentively. Even Chen Yuanyuan forgot about other things and behaved like Zhu Yujiao.

Zhang Mingwei didn't take it seriously, and introduced them to them: "The newspaper we want to run has more content, including as many readers as possible, not only literate people, including illiterate people, not only men, including women, etc., all of them have developed the habit of reading our newspaper." In this way, they can only listen to what we say in the newspaper, and if others want to refute it, they can only say it to a little person around them. Most importantly, there is also a preconceived advantage that makes it harder for those who oppose it. ”

This truth is actually very simple, those rumors together, if you want to refute the rumors, the cost will naturally be much more.

Hearing Zhang Mingwei say this, Chen Yuanyuan said curiously: "Master's idea is indeed very good, but to include so many readers, it seems to be ...... Seems a bit unlikely, right? ”

It wasn't until she was about to question Xingguogong's words that she suddenly remembered the identities of the two parties, and she immediately hesitated. However, when she saw Zhang Mingwei's eyes looking at her without a trace of displeasure, but with a little encouragement, she finally finished speaking.

Zhu Yujiao didn't notice this, because she also questioned: "Yes, sir, this is easy to say, but it's too difficult to do, right?" ”

It's a little hard for her to imagine that literate, illiterate, men, and women will all become readers of this newspaper, it's simply impossible!

But obviously, Zhang Mingwei is very sure of this. After all, in this era of lack of entertainment, it is not easy to carry some things from the future generations!

He always remembered that when he was a child, there was only one TV in the village, and every night when he watched TV, the whole village flocked to watch it. There is only one station, and everything is fragrant.

Therefore, Zhang Mingwei said to them: "I have actually said that in addition to the major events of the court and politics, adding more pages can be things that everyone is interested in, such as stories, long serials, if you want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown, you can attract more and more readers." ”

The culture of the Ming Dynasty is also a very developed dynasty, "Water Margin", "Journey to the West", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Golden Vase Plum", etc., as well as three words and two beats, etc., which are very popular. Among them, Feng Menglong is still alive and has been creating.

Therefore, Zhu Yujiao and others can also understand Zhang Mingwei's statement. However, the most important thing is to listen to Zhu Yujiao frowning and saying: "Sir, what kind of stories can be heard by men, women and children?" ”

"Yes, master, as far as the concubine knows, all kinds of people, etc., like to read different stories, how should this be?" Chen Yuanyuan has obviously also substituted himself into what he will do in the future, and asked Zhu Yujiao.

This is very different from when she didn't even dare to look at Zhang Mingwei at the beginning, and she was very careful in her speech.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Then let's go and call all the people in the house, men, women and children, sir, I will tell you a story today, see how everyone reacts, how about it?" ”

You know, storytelling, this is the real profession, what is suppressed first and then raised, crackling and slapping in the face, justice is served, and a lover eventually becomes a family or something, don't do it anymore.

Zhu Yujiao is still relatively young, and when she heard such a fun thing, she couldn't help but show a little childlike innocence, and hurriedly echoed: "Okay, okay, then do it!" ”

After she finished speaking, she suddenly came back to her senses, and instantly stabilized her temperament and said, "I want to know how attractive Mr.'s story is, and how good it will be for this in the future...... Newspapers are important, right? ”

Chen Yuanyuan looked at her, and suddenly felt that Her Royal Highness the princess was not so high, it seemed that she was the same as Xingguo Gong, the kind of person who was easy to talk.

When she got this conclusion, she couldn't help but feel a little more fortunate in her heart.

At this time, many people in the house had already fallen asleep. However, as soon as he heard that Xingguo Gong was going to tell a story, he immediately rushed to the scene without saying a word.

No, it's in the lobby of the front yard, except for those who protect Zhang's Mansion who can't leave, everyone else is here, looking forward to it excitedly.

Xingguo Gong tells stories, in this Ming Dynasty, how many people can have such blessings?

Therefore, they all decided that no matter whether Xingguo Gong spoke well or not, they would applaud loudly and cheer for a while!

How could Zhang Mingwei not know these thoughts when he saw their faces and eyes.

He didn't care about this at all, and after a little thought in his heart, he chose a story and began to tell it.
