Chapter 181: Running a Newspaper
Guo Zhiyuan's heart was terrified, the cheap father Guo Zhengyu had also said similar things to him, it seems that Liu Guangxian's eyes are like torches, and he also sees the weaknesses in Guo Zhiyuan's character, he likes to take tricks and take risks, out of love, he will give him such advice, and his respect for Liu Guangxian is deeper, and he hurriedly turned grim, and respectfully saluted Liu Guangxian: "Thank you for your teachings, Zhiyuan must be remembered!" ……”
After sending Liu Guangxian away, Guo Zhiyuan also began to reflect, although he passed the test safely this time, it does not mean that he can sit back and relax, on the contrary, he will be more dangerous, Shen Yiyi, Huang Yihua and others will not let him go, this time the court sent the upright Liu Guangxian, next time if a corrupt official is sent to check him?
In the final analysis, Guo Zhiyuan is still too weak, Huang Sihua can impeach him at any time, but he doesn't even have the qualifications to be on the fold, even if he can get the fold, it is impossible to send it to Wanli, which means that his fate is in the hands of others, and he can't be so lucky every time, so he must find a way to control his fate in his own hands, at least let Shen Yiyi, Huang Yihua and others not dare to find a few random people like now to falsely accuse him!
How can I let myself have the ability to protect myself in a short period of time, so that Shen Yiyi, Huang Yihua and others dare not attack themselves at will? Guo Zhiyuan has already thought of this, that is, to quickly start his own fame, and fame is still very useful in this era, such as Gu Xiancheng, he was cut to the people, but because he founded Donglin Academy, initiated the Donglin Conference, and formulated the "Donglin Covenant", he had a great reputation in Shilin, but became the leader of the Donglin Party, and his influence even exceeded that of Shen Li, who served as the deputy assistant of the cabinet.
Gu Xiancheng should have tasted the benefits of fame, but he can influence the government and the opposition in the hidden world, and it is far better than being an official in the imperial court and being controlled by others everywhere, and it is much better to worry about being impeached and losing his official position or even not being able to save his life, so he was later recommended by many Donglin Party members to be reactivated and appointed as the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple in Nanjing, but he refused to accept the appointment and continued to stay in his hometown to lecture and discuss politics.
But Guo Zhiyuan can't learn Gu Xiancheng, Gu Xian's cost is a Confucian, he runs Donglin Academy and naturally has a large number of followers, Guo Zhiyuan's level will fool those Mengsheng in the county school, this is really open to run a college, I am afraid that I will be sprayed to death, so running a college can not let Guo Zhiyuan have a big reputation in a short time.
However, Guo Zhiyuan has already thought of a way to quickly increase his fame: run a newspaper! Running a newspaper is also a must-have operation for almost all travelers, why? The reason is very simple, running a newspaper can guide public opinion and disseminate ideas, our great chairman once said that the revolution depends on the pen and the gun, and the chairman put the pen in the front, so it can be seen that the pen is more important than the gun, and mastering the tools to guide public opinion and disseminating ideas is equivalent to mastering the pen, in this era it is impossible to have such media tools as television and the Internet, and running a newspaper has undoubtedly become the best choice.
The Ming Dynasty already had the existence of Di Bao, which was the prototype of the newspaper, but Di Bao mainly published some officials' chapters and emperor's edicts, whether it was the layout or the content was relatively simple, and the scope of dissemination was relatively small, although Di Bao was not kept secret to ordinary people, but most of the ordinary people were illiterate, so it was generally only circulated within the officials.
Guo Zhiyuan's newspaper will naturally not be so simple, he is going to run a newspaper in the true sense of the word with pictures and texts, and the content is not just as simple as publishing some news, but like the newspapers of later generations, it is divided into several pages, covering current affairs, social news, literature and poetry, economic information, advertising and other rich and colorful content, so that people in this era can have a refreshing feeling and quickly start their own fame.
But running a newspaper is not so simple, even if you want to run a newspaper in modern times, from editing to distribution, it takes at least a team of dozens of people to support it, and they all have to be capable professionals, and large newspapers may need hundreds of people to maintain operation, and in this era it is even more troublesome, because this era does not have modern advanced typesetting and printing technology, all have to rely on manual engraving, with Guo Zhiyuan's half-baked level is definitely not possible, must have professional personnel to do it.
But in this era, where can Guo Zhiyuan find such professionals, so although the idea is good, it is difficult to implement, Guo Zhiyuan can't think of where to recruit such professionals after thinking for a long time, so he can only let it go first. Because he has another more important thing to do, that is, he has to quickly establish the intelligence network in the capital, this time if he hadn't received a letter from the cheap dad in advance, so that Guo Zhiyuan had prepared in advance, Guo Zhiyuan would have been really taken down by the grumpy Liu Guangxian as soon as he met, but the cheap dad is far away from the capital, and it is impossible to receive the news in advance every time, so it is urgent to establish an intelligence network in the capital.
Guo Zhiyuan had plans to establish an intelligence station in the capital before, but Zhang Cheng, as a capable officer beside him, had a lot to do, so he couldn't put it on the agenda, and now he couldn't wait any longer, he had to let Zhang Cheng go to the capital to establish the intelligence network in the capital.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan no longer hesitated, and immediately asked people to call Zhang Cheng, at this time there was a sudden noise outside the lobby, Guo Zhiyuan was feeling strange, and a servant came to report, saying that a passing merchant had been cheated of money before, and he happened to bump into the liar on the road, but the liar refused to admit it, and the dispute continued, so he twisted the liar to the yamen.
Now Gutian is under the governance of Guo Zhiyuan, and the public security is very good, although it is not to the point of not leaving it untouched, but the theft, robbery and other public security cases that often occur in ordinary places have basically rarely occurred, so Guo Zhiyuan was very angry when he heard it, and ordered the officials to pass people on.
The liar who was caught was a middle-aged man with a goatee, with a thin figure, wearing a long robe, looking like a scholar, but the long shirt was full of holes and stains, very depressed, and his eyes were also wandering, looking very weak-hearted. Get your name in! ……”
Although the down-and-out middle-aged man looked away, he was not very afraid under Guo Zhiyuan's official authority, and replied fluently: "Back to the old man's words, Bai Tingguang, a grass citizen, a person from Guilin, Guangxi, came to Fujian to seek refuge with relatives and ......friends."
When the passing merchant kneeling next to him heard this, he immediately pointed at the down-and-out middle-aged man and shouted: "Master, he lied!" The last time the villain met him, he clearly said that he was from Suzhou, and said that he was a student, and it happened that the villain needed to recruit a bookkeeper at that time, and the villain saw that he was dressed and talked like a scholar, so he believed him, but he didn't know that within two days, he rolled up the villain for more than a dozen taels of silver and ran away! Fortunately, he was bumped into by the villain here again, otherwise he would have run away again! ……”
The down-and-out middle-aged man immediately shouted and said: "Master, the grass people are wronged, the grass people don't know this person at all, walking on the street and suddenly being caught by him inexplicably, there are so many people in the world who look similar, how can he conclude that the grass people are the person he met before?" He said that the person was from Suzhou, but the grass people were from Guangxi, and the villain had a way to prove it! ......" he said, pulling out a path from his sleeve and raising his hands above his head.
Guo Zhiyuan took the road guide and took a look, it was indeed written on it from Guilin, Guangxi, but Guo Zhiyuan was not so easy to fool, the accent of the down-and-out middle-aged man did not look like a Guangxi accent at all, but a bit like a northerner, and Guangxi people usually have darker skin, although the middle-aged man is poorly dressed, his skin is relatively white, and he is clearly not telling the truth.
However, Guo Zhiyuan can't just rely on his own guesses to conclude that this down-and-out middle-aged man is lying, after all, at this time, the household registration management of the Ming Dynasty is far less strict than that in the early Ming Dynasty, and the flow of population is also very frequent, and the road guide provided by the down-and-out middle-aged man is also very realistic, and it is also stamped with the official seal of the local government, Guo Zhiyuan can't tell the truth from the fake, but Guo Zhiyuan can't tell the truth from the false, someone can tell the difference, Baidu has been a county official for many years, and he is the best at distinguishing the truth of this official certificate.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan's eyes flashed, and he quietly instructed the officials below: "You go and ask Bai Xiancheng to distinguish the authenticity of this road......
The down-and-out middle-aged man was a little flustered when he heard this, he was no longer as calm as he had been, he knelt on the ground and trembled, Guo Zhiyuan saw him behaving like this, and he was even more convinced of his judgment, this person is really bold, not to mention cheating people out of money, and even daring to fake the road guide of the government! Then he slapped the startled wood hard, and said sharply: "Boldly Diao Min, are you guilty?!" ……”
The down-and-out middle-aged man's body trembled even more, but he was still very stiff, gritted his teeth and said, "Grass... The grass people don't know what the crime is?! ……”
Guo Zhiyuan saw that this down-and-out middle-aged man did not admit his guilt, and became more and more angry, and said in his heart that this guy really didn't see the coffin and didn't cry, and there was no need to be polite to deal with such a bold and stubborn guy, and was about to order the torture of this down-to-earth middle-aged man, but he saw that Zhang Cheng didn't know when he arrived in the hall, and he was quietly shaking his head at him.
Guo Zhiyuan was a little puzzled, could it be that this down-and-out middle-aged man was still Zhang Cheng's old reason? Even if it is Zhang Cheng's old age, Zhang Cheng should also understand his own character, and it is impossible for him to bend the law for personal gain just because this person is Zhang Cheng's old age, but Guo Zhiyuan also knows that Zhang Cheng has always been steady, since he shook his head at himself and made a look to prevent himself from executing this down-and-out middle-aged man, there must be a reason for him, so he withdrew his hand to pat the shocking wood, and coughed dryly: "This official wants to go to make it convenient, you wait here for a while......"
