Chapter 375: Gift of Ink Treasure
Zhang Qian carefully used the wording.
After all, it is the Chen family that is involved, and it is difficult to predict His Majesty's thoughts.
The reason why he felt that the situation was serious was that the news in the news newspaper was ...... It's too detailed, and what major events are happening in the world are sorted out in a very orderly manner...... This is almost more detailed than the recital of the white horse.
Li Shimin's heart was also shocked, and he hurriedly said to Zhang Qian: "Take the report of the hundred horses." ”
Zhang Qian didn't dare to slack off, and was busy taking a bunch of newspapers.
Li Shimin sat down and immediately flipped through the report compiled by the hundred horsemen last night!
It's okay not to look at it, but when I look at it, I find that it...... Many things in the newspaper are not much different from the Hundred Horsemen.
There are even some ...... The record is more detailed than the hundred horses.
This......
Baiqi is the palace specialist in inquiring about news, which can be said to be Li Shimin's eyes and ears.
But the Chen family is very powerful, and they actually came up with a system similar to Baiqi, how much does it cost?
Li Shimin looked displeased, so he said: "What is Chen Zhengtai's intention to do this? ”
Zhang Qiangan smiled and replied cautiously: "This ...... The slave heard that his newspaper only sells for 30 wen a copy, and now it is sold everywhere......"
Li Shimin frowned and said coldly: "Thirty Wen, what can you do?" How did this person get into the eyes of money? ”
At this moment, Zhang Qian was silent with interest.
Li Shimin immediately said to the little eunuch beside him: "Go, summon Chen Zhengtai to Ziwei Hall first, I have something to ask him." ”
The little eunuch listened and hurried away.
Li Shimin still bowed his head and continued to read the newspaper.
There is all the information in this newspaper, and in addition, there are some articles, and Li Shimin has an impression of Deng Jian here...... After taking a closer look, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "The Dou family's raid, how is it now?" ”
Zhang Qiandao: "The Criminal Department and Dali Temple are still under thorough investigation, but I heard that the family property is complicated, so ...... It will take some time. ”
Li Shimin thought that he had been looking forward to the raid of the Dou family for a long time, and he had been looking forward to new news.
However, the criminal department and Dali Temple are doing things slowly, although he is a little anxious, but he is silent, after all...... Plenty of time, but don't leave anything out.
"This matter should be paid special attention to, and Baiqi should also allocate some people to assist." Li Shimin settled down, and said: "Send another imperial historian, I always feel uneasy." ”
When Zhang Qian heard this, he hurriedly said yes.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Zhengtai had already come, he entered the hall, and saluted: "Your Majesty, your son......"
Li Shimin glanced at him, raised the news newspaper in his hand, and said to Chen Zhengtai: "What is this?" ”
"News." Chen Zhengtai replied honestly.
"News ......" Li Shimin glared at him and said, "Of course I know that this is news, what I want to ask you is, you print these and sell them everywhere, what does this mean?" ”
Chen Zhengtai said aggrievedly: "Didn't Your Majesty worry that all the clans in this world would set up a hundred horses?" The sons and daughters share the worries for His Majesty, naturally...... We must kill this atmosphere ruthlessly. ”
Li Shimin: "......"
"Your Majesty." Chen Zhengtai glanced at Li Shimin with a determined expression: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be if the clans all set up a hundred horsemen?" These people have a great family and a big business, they have taken root for hundreds of years, they are strong, there are thousands of children in the family, and they do not know how many people are ordinary, they not only have a large number of people in the court, but also have in-laws all over the world. Such a family, if there are more hundred horses, the harm to the court is really unimaginable. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Zhengtai paused before continuing: "It's just them...... The establishment of a hundred horsemen was originally carried out in secret, and if His Majesty strictly forbade it, they could change their appearance and use other names, can the imperial court continue to track it down? What's more, it is not a family with a surname that involves this matter, but a hundred families. They are well-informed about the slightest movement in the world, and they can quickly know that every move in the court is better than anyone else. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper, and this was exactly what he was worried about.
At this time, I only heard Chen Zhengtai continue: "Since it cannot be eliminated, this information is so important, rather than spending countless thoughts to ban it. It is better to simply use countless manpower and material resources by the Chen family to do it, so that the news can be conveyed faster than them, and then invite a lot of manpower to select the important ones from the many news, directly print them into newspapers, and then let people sell these newspapers on the street, so that everyone in the world knows the latest news, so that the people of this world ...... Wouldn't the 100 horsemen set up in secret become a joke? They used countless manpower and material resources, and the result was ...... However, thirty wen a day can be easily obtained, so ...... What is the use of this hundred horses, which has taken countless painstaking efforts to build before? The reason why this message is important is that I know it, and others don't know it, so that I can profit from it. But once the whole world knows about it, the message is worthless. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, his face softened slightly!
From this point of view, Chen Zhengtai's words are not unreasonable.
It's just that......
Li Shimin said: "If this is the case, wouldn't there be nothing to hide from the world?" ”
Chen Zhengtai said: "This is the crux of the matter, if everyone knows the news, then these clans, the establishment of a hundred horsemen will be meaningless." Then the people of the world have no choice but to rely on this news to know the world's affairs. Although this newspaper is owned by the Chen family, the prince's side and his sons also gave half of the shares. Of course, in this matter, making money is not the most important thing, but the most important thing is what edicts and decrees His Majesty wants to promulgate, which can also be copied in this newspaper, so that the effect of the situation can not be achieved? It is better to be a hand in the palace of the newspaper than to be used by others. If you don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about the news in this newspaper, which one of them is important to the palace, you can put it on the front page! If His Majesty thinks it is still not suitable to publish it in the world, he will either put it in the last edition, or he will simply not publish it. Your Majesty...... Since ancient times, it is difficult for the emperor's decrees to leave the palace, because even if the three provinces drafted an edict and sent it out, but the people who conveyed these wills were still the heroes of the clan and the locality, and these people often hid edicts that were unfavorable to them, or pretended not to know, or did not report them, but now, it only takes thirty texts to know the affairs of the world, which ...... Isn't it good news for the palace? ”
Chen Zhengtai then said: "Tonight, this news newspaper is about to start publishing news again, and I implore Your Majesty to ...... Why don't you give me the next article...... so that this news can be ...... It can add a touch of color. ”
Li Shimin has actually listened to the intention, what Chen Zhengtai said is indeed not unreasonable, striking at the family and Haoqiang, this is what any dynasty is doing, Datang ...... Nature is not exempt from vulgarity.
But how? Is it a direct murder and extermination? At that time, I am afraid that if I want to become Wang Mang, I will have to make the world full of smoke.
But...... Erasing the advantages of the world is not necessarily a solution, when the common people and the world receive the same message, then ...... Naturally, the advantages of the clan are a little less.
It's just that...... Let him, the emperor, write an article......
Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhengtai suspiciously and said, "I am the Son of Heaven, what are you doing when you write an article?" ”
Chen Zhengtai said: "The article given by His Majesty is not popular with the people...... Your Majesty, you might as well give it a try. ”
Try ......
Li Shimin was ready to move in the depths of his heart.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I wrote it myself, and I didn't order Hanlin to write it for me?" ”
"Your Majesty's golden and jade words, why do you need others to write them on your behalf?" Chen Zhengtai said on the side, this is a bit of a fanning the flames.
Li Shimin listened, and said with vigor: "Since this is the case, then I will try it." ”
Li Shimin actually cheered up, and actually felt ...... Maybe you can really test the reaction.
It's just that...... What should I write about?
Li Shimin would never ask Chen Zhengtai about this.
After all, Chen Zhengtai is his disciple, how can he be a teacher to ask students?
So he frowned and began to search his intestines and scrape his stomach, but Zhang Qian on the side reminded: "Your Majesty, the hundred officials are about to enter the court." ”
Li Shimin was in a trance for a while, if you let him get on the horse and carry a knife to cut people, he is an expert. But writing an article, although his cultural level is not low, there is still a gap from pinching it easily, he is beating the manuscript in his heart at this time, where does he have the heart to care about Zhang Qian?
So he said very confidently: "Today's court discussion, let's stop it." ”
"Ah......" Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment, and said busily: "This year has just passed, and it is ...... at the beginning of spring."
Li Shimin interrupted him very heroically: "Okay, don't be verbose. ”
Chen Zhengtai has resigned.
Zhang Qian obediently went to convey His Majesty's will.
Li Shimin's mind was on the article.
It took a long time before I put pen to paper.
When Zhang Qian came back, Li Shimin threw the completed article to Zhang Qian, and said, "Send it to the newspaper." ”
Zhang Qian's face was speechless, His Majesty was still furious because of this newspaper, he turned his head and went to write an article for the newspaper, what is this?
It's just that...... For the news newspaper, Zhang Qian is quite vigilant.
He is a regular servant, not only to take care of the emperor, but at the same time, because he is too close to the emperor, the hundred horsemen in the palace are all taken care of by Zhang Qian!
But now that the news has come out, the sense of existence of Baiqi is only afraid that it will be reduced to the minimum.
Thinking of this, Zhang Qian hurriedly cheered up: "Your Majesty...... Slave thought ...... This...... I'm afraid that it's not appropriate, although the Chen Horse just said that the sky is falling, but the slave thinks that this news newspaper is ...... If you sell the news for money, it is inevitable that there will be some rumors, and once the rumors confuse the public, they will even ...... The people know about the world, but they are afraid of ...... 'M afraid...... It will break people's hearts...... Now that Your Majesty is writing again, has he not vigorously advocated and encouraged these things? It's something that has never happened before, if ......"
Li Shimin said lightly: "Of course I know, don't I know as well as you?" Zhengtai is talking about the sky, whether this thing is useful or not, I give it a try, so why not? Send it away. ”
Zhang Qian didn't dare to say anything more, obediently took the article and left in a hurry.
…………
Outside the Tai Chi Gate.
The retainers have already blown up.
It is not uncommon for His Majesty to suddenly depose today's court, but the general reason is that the saint is not in peace.
But today, there is not even a reason, and this is ...... It's a little unusual.
Wei Xuanzhen stood outside the palace, her mind was still a little confused, and she was not very sober.
Through conversations with many people, he roughly confirmed one thing in his heart, that is, the Wei family's hard work and countless manpower and material resources have now all been in vain.
I can't bear it.
In fact, there are many people who think like Wei Xuanzhen.
Some people have begun to whisper: "I am afraid that when the time comes, the people's hearts will be disturbed." ”
Wei Xuanzhen looked at it and recognized that the person who said this was an imperial historian.
Many nodded their heads in approval.
Wei Xuanzhen couldn't help but say: "Yes, the news newspaper, the old man also read a thing or two, there are thieves in Yuezhou, how can it spread to the world, doesn't this cause people to panic?" What exactly is this newspaper about? ”
Everyone gossiped and scolded.
Wei Xuanzhen immediately stroked her beard and smiled: "I think ...... In the long run, I'm afraid that it will really breed trouble. ”
However, when several young ministers heard the instigation of people like Wei Xuanzhen, they suddenly became emotional, and they all said, "You might as well ask Yu Shitai to check it." ”
On the other hand, in the printing workshop in Erpigou, Chen Aizhi had already led a group of people to start sorting the news sent from various states.
He trained more than 300 people, and in addition to a group of people who were about to be sent to the states, there was also a group of people who set up newspapers.
In the newspaper office, the latest news from these states will be selected and polished by this group of editors, large and small, and then sent to Chen Aizhi, and after determining the content of the newspaper, the craftsmen will immediately be typeset and printed.
At first, Chen Aizhi felt that the assistant teacher in the university hall came here because he was belittled by the head of the family, and he was secretly sad in his heart, but soon, he found that things were not so simple.
At this time...... He began to do his best.
In the second issue of the newspaper, all the articles have been finalized.
But at this time, someone came to the palace and sent an article!
Chen Aizhi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replaced the headlines on the first page of the previous one and replaced them with new articles.
And the printing workshop, after typesetting, started all night.
At this time, the quality of the newspaper was still relatively inferior, and the words were barely printed, and the first issue bought more than 3,000 copies, but in fact, there were not many, almost all of them were subsidized by the Chen family, but the second edition, because it sold well, planned to print 6,000 copies!
This workshop started overnight, and I didn't dare to slack off. By the time it was three o'clock, the newspaper was more than half printed!
At this time, many merchants were already waiting outside, carrying a stack of newspapers away, and then sent them to every corner of Chang'an City.
After everything was to be decided, Chen Aizhi seemed anxious at this time.
Because he doesn't know what effect today's issue will have.
