Chapter 687, Mr. Newspaper Reading

"Sell Newspaper~Sell Newspaper~"

"The Annan soldiers invaded Guangxi, burned, killed, plundered, and did all kinds of evil, and the reason was because I was unwilling to accept his title of minister and tribute~"

The morning in the capital must be accompanied by the shouting of the newsboy.

With the shouting of the newsboy, many people immediately gathered over, and the newspapers were sold out in a blink of an eye.

Reading newspapers has become a part of the lives of young and old masters in Beijing.

If you know how to read and write, you will naturally buy a newspaper by yourself and read the newspaper while enjoying breakfast at home.

If you are illiterate and want to know the content of the newspaper, and you don't have enough money, then it doesn't matter, you can go to the teahouse, there is a special newspaper reader in the teahouse.

Responsible for reading the newspaper to you and explaining the content of the newspaper, for which a new industry was gradually born - Mr. Newspaper Reader.

This newspaper reader is naturally not just a person can be, nor can he just know words, he can read well, if you want to be a good newspaper reader, this literacy and hyphenation is the most basic requirement.

More is required to be able to say the current affairs in the newspaper ugly, and even be able to comment on one or two, so that he can be regarded as a qualified newspaper reader.

As for becoming a truly top-notch newspaper reader, the knowledge in this is deep, familiar with ancient and modern, quoting scriptures, poetry and songs, astronomy, geography, 500 years ago, and 500 years later......

With the rise of a large number of factories and workshops, the rapid development of capitalism, and the increasing number of people commuting to and from work on time, this also made the morning tea business in the capital area develop rapidly, and there are tea houses everywhere.

From the top teahouses with exquisite decoration, magnificent, and a few taels of silver for breakfast, to ordinary teahouses that receive office workers, there are everywhere, and teahouses at all levels of consumption are all over the streets and alleys of the capital, inside and outside the city.

Whether a teahouse business is good or not has a lot to do with the newspaper reading Mr. Newspaper invited by the teahouse, the newspaper reading Mr. is very good, and the business of the teahouse is naturally very prosperous, if Mr. Reading the newspaper is not good, the business of the teahouse will be much lighter.

Mr. Newspaper's job is said to be easy and easy, it is nothing more than reading the newspaper to everyone here in the teahouse every morning, explaining the content of the newspaper, and it is difficult to say that it is difficult.

It is not only necessary to arrange the time reasonably, but more importantly, to make a reasonable comment on the content of the newspaper that makes everyone feel reasonable, which is the key.

Of course, Mr. Reading the Newspaper can not only get a good salary from the teahouse, but the real big head is the reward from the guests, and many times, the reward from the guests is far more than the salary given by the teahouse.

Especially in some mid-to-high-end teahouses, Mr. Reading the newspaper is good, and the rich nobles can easily earn a few taels of silver every day.

Listening to the rain pavilion is one of the most famous teahouses in the capital, every morning just dawn started, listening to the rain pavilion here has begun to be overcrowded.

There are many people who get up early to listen to the rain pavilion just to listen to the rain pavilion to read the newspaper Mr. Zhou Zhishi's comments on the daily newspaper.

Zhou Zhishi was originally just a down-and-out talent, who failed to try repeatedly, and then fell to Sun Shan, and after taking the autumn exam a few times, he never went to participate in the imperial examination again, but instead concentrated on dabbling in all kinds of side books, and often traveled around the country, and then visited the Ming landscape, and even went to Nanyang.

It is said that he is also going to go to the Golden Continent to see if the Golden Continent is really full of gold, and even wants to form a fleet to sail around the world to see if the living world is really a ball.

In his words, it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, to walk more roads, to see more affairs, this knowledge is naturally broader, coupled with the ancient and modern, to be able to truly form their own cognition and opinions on everything.

At this time, it has not been long since Tingyu Pavilion opened, and the second floor was already full of people, and the guests ordered a pot of tea, and then came to the morning three or five, holding today's latest Ming Morning Post in their hands.

Tingyu Pavilion will leave a middle table for Zhou Zhishi every day to prepare Zhou Zhishi's favorite Longjing tea and osmanthus cake.

Zhou Zhishi took a sip of tea, ate two pastries, and then took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, picked up the newspaper on the table, and began to read it slowly.

"Today's headlines are that the Annan soldiers invaded Guangxi, burned, killed, and plundered, and did all kinds of evil~"

"There was an urgent report in Guangxi yesterday ......."

Zhou Zhishi first read the above content in detail, and he didn't read the newspaper randomly, he was high-spirited and frustrated, and his feelings were extremely rich, so that everyone present couldn't help but be angry and angry.

"Annan is a small country, and it dares to repeatedly offend my Daming, which is simply asking for his own death~"

"Yelang is arrogant, wolf ambition~"

"The white-eyed wolf that can't be fed, I don't want it to pay tribute, so I dare to send troops, and when my army arrives, I will definitely kill them without leaving a piece of armor."

Everyone present shouted out in an atmosphere and released their opinions.

Zhou Zhishi heard it, and also smiled slightly, and when everyone finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and slowly continued: "The word Annan comes from the Annan Protectorate during the Tang Dynasty, and Annan has been under the jurisdiction of my Huaxia Shenzhou since the Qin Dynasty, but by the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Wu Quan divided Annan from the Southern Han Dynasty, and since then, Annan has existed as a vassal state of my Middle Earth Dynasty for a long time. ”

"To the founding of the Ming Dynasty, during the Yongle period, Annan repeatedly violated the border of my Ming Dynasty, and the king of Annan was arrogant and arrogant, acting recklessly, and even called himself a lonely widow."

"I can't bear it anymore, so I sent troops to attack Annan, from the fourth year of Yongle to the seventh year of Yongle, after dozens of battles, and finally won a complete victory, eliminating the usurping Annan Hu regime, fifteen prefectures, forty-one prefectures, two hundred and eight counties, and then set up the Jiaozhi Bu political envoy department."

Zhou Zhishi talked about the history of Annan, which made everyone present nod their heads, and they immediately understood the historical origin of Annan and Daming.

"To the Xuanzong period, this Annan is too far away from my Middle Earth, so I Ming withdrew his troops and returned to the north, and revoked the political envoy of Jiaozhi, so far, Annan is not under the jurisdiction of my Ming Dynasty."

"However, this Annan is really a Ming Jiaozhi, and it has been a part of my Huaxia Shenzhou since ancient times."

After talking about the history of Annan, Zhou Zhishi also gave a comment.

That's this Annan Actually, since ancient times, it has been my land of China, and I once set up a political envoy here in the Ming Dynasty, and then we gave up because we felt it was too far away.

"I see, this Annan is Jiaozhi, and it has been the land of my Ming Dynasty since ancient times~"

"Then why is Annan violating my Ming border now?"

When everyone heard this, they nodded their heads, and then a question popped up in their minds, why is this Annan going to offend me again now?

"Open Map~"

Zhou Zhishi smiled and ordered, and soon the shopkeeper in the teahouse took out a map of Daming and hung it up.

"Everyone, please see the location of Annan~"

"It is located in the south of Guangxi, bordering the East China Sea in the east, connecting with Zhancheng in the south, connecting with Nanzhang and Penman in the west, and connecting with Yunnan and Guangxi in the north, with 100,000 mountains in the middle."

Zhou Zhishi began to introduce the geographical location of Annan on the map.

"The geographical location of Annam is extremely important, it is located in the Indochina Peninsula, and there is a land connection with our Ming Dynasty, which is an important channel for our Ming Dynasty to enter the Nanyang region from the land."

"Speaking of Annan's invasion of Longzhou, Guangxi, the reason is because I don't accept it as a minister."

"This has to mention that last year's new Ming vassal treaty of my Ming Dynasty, in the past, as long as it was a tribute to my Ming Dynasty, you could get several times the reward from my Ming Dynasty, so I Ming surrounding countries have come to the court."

"Although this is the embodiment of my great power in the Ming Dynasty, but because my Ming Dynasty is always several times back, it is also to let the Nanyang countries see that it is profitable, and the scale is bigger and bigger every year, which also causes a great burden to my Ming Dynasty."

"So much so that during the Xuanzong period, it was necessary to order a restriction on the number and scale of tributes from various countries."

"The tribute of the Nanyang countries to my Ming Dynasty, called tribute, in fact, it is mostly for profit, and I have also specially published my foolish opinion in this regard when I paid tribute in the past."

"Your Majesty and the princes of the court, it is precisely because they clearly see this, and there are now a lot of merchant ships traveling to and from the South Seas, and the agreement of the subject states of the Ming Dynasty has been specially formulated for this purpose."

"From now on, if you want to become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, only by signing this agreement and strictly implementing the treaties on the agreement can you be regarded as a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty, and I will be willing to accept it as a tribute."

"But last year, only Korea, Wa and Luzon signed the agreement, and these three countries were willing to become vassals of my Ming Dynasty, and Annam did not sign the agreement, so it is not considered a vassal state of my Ming Dynasty."

"It's not my Ming vassal state, so I don't accept it as a minister, and Annan can't get a rich reward from my Ming side, so I hold a grudge, so this is why this time the soldiers committed my Guangxi Longzhou."

"In the final analysis, the cause of this matter is very simple, it is nothing more than that my Daming is unwilling to damage my Daming's own national strength for the sake of the so-called face."

"From now on, the Nanyang countries will no longer want to profit through tribute, but this policy violates the interests of these small Nanyang countries, so not only Annam sent troops to invade our Guangxi, but also Siam, Champang, Boni, Malacca, Java, Sumatra and other Nanyang countries will impose tariffs on our Ming merchants."

"There are even people specially organized by the state to attack our Ming merchant ships and kill our Ming merchants."

Zhou Zhishi explained the cause of this incident clearly, and it also made everyone present immediately figure out everything about this matter.

In the final analysis, it is actually two words: interests.
