Chapter 160 Newspaper
It is not a question of yes or no, but before saying 'yes', feasibility studies and various measures have been seriously discussed in the court.
For example, where does the money come from for this newspaper, which is a public welfare undertaking? Or is it a for-profit business?
The court and the public unanimously agreed that first of all, this is a monopoly business, and the ban on non-governmental reporting is still practiced and is not allowed to be released.
Monopoly is to ensure profits, in the past, the residence of the General Administration Department was sold privately by private newspapers, because after Lin Yanchao gave advice, these newspapers were all affected by the pond fish, and all of them were banned.
But business can't be broken, and the private newspaper office is still doing it secretly.
Now, as soon as this official newspaper came out, the imperial court immediately issued a stricter ban, prohibiting the operation of private newspaper offices, which is tantamount to monopolizing this part of the business by the imperial court.
There is also the Di Bao, the matter of the Di Bao is out every once in a while, or there is something major in the court, such as a large-scale transfer of officials, the crown prince's accession to the throne, etc., there will be an urgent version.
There is no one set time.
The 'Huangming Times' of the Metropolitan Procuratorate adopted Lin Yanchao's experience in running a newspaper in those years and published it at a fixed time such as two periodicals every ten years.
In fact, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was originally named 'Huangming Times', in fact, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were not convinced in their hearts, and one of your newspapers actually named the country, isn't this the first of the three major newspapers?
But there is no way, now that the power of the official is great, who dares to disagree.
When there were no newspapers, there was public opinion from the theory of science and Taoism, and now with newspapers, the speech officials are one step closer to controlling the way of speech. Officials are actually not pedantic about new things, and they saw the power of public opinion when they were admonished by Lin Yanchao, so the officials had to grasp this sharp weapon in their own hands as soon as possible.
Moreover, the officials also learned the big killer of 'editorial' from Lin Yanchao's hands.
In each edition of the Huangming Daily, the Imperial Procuratorate will select an important and influential imperial court policy, and then a senior and powerful imperial historian will conduct an editorial to explain the intentions of the imperial court to the officials and scholars of the world.
Such a means is, of course, to condense people's hearts into a rope, and it is also to explain to all the people in the world the idea of being a politician.
With this editorial, the Huangming Times is no longer a boring overview of current affairs like the original copy, but gives life to the newspaper.
Every official can understand the ideas from the editorials of the Times and make his own thoughts and judgments about them, instead of blindly guessing there or having those who 'see the small things' analyze it for you.
The Huangming Times of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was originally the content copied by the General Administration's Mansion, and the sales were not worried, but after the editorial, Luoyang paper was even more expensive.
As for the newspaper of the Ministry of Rites, it is called 'Tenri Newspaper'. This is the official of the Ministry of Rites who was preempted by the 'Huangming Times' of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and chose a name by himself.
No matter how powerful Huang Ming is, what about it? Isn't it ordained by heaven? Moreover, the word "Heavenly Principle" comes from the sentence "Preserve Heavenly Principle and Destroy Human Desires".
The Tianli newspaper tends to be edified.
But don't think it's called that, this day there are a bunch of rotten people writing sour articles over there, and no one likes to read them.
The person who ran the Tianli Daily was Guo Zhengyu, the original editor-in-chief of the Yanjing Times and the director of the Department of Etiquette and Etiquette.
Guo Zhengyu learned a lot from Lin Yanchao back then, and knew that running a newspaper was not about saying his own words, he must first cater to the hearts of the people, first have a market, and then slowly sell his own ideas.
It's all about finding the right customers.
He edited the content of the next Tianli newspaper, such as promoting the festival woman, which prefecture and which county has been observing the festival for her husband for more than 20 years, and it is a good story for the respect of the clan.
To promote filial piety, in order to serve his relatives, a certain scholar in which prefecture and county resigned his fame and did his filial piety at home for more than ten years.
Loyalty, death, filial piety, the story is specific and detailed, which makes people move and even burst into tears.
Not to mention that scholars and doctors still like to see this, it is precisely that there were twenty-four filial pieties in ancient times, and there are heavenly retributions today.
Therefore, as soon as the Tianli report came out, the Ministry of Rites apportioned the local governments and counties to purchase them, and distributed them in the form of post stations, and then the provincial governments and counties went down one by one.
For magistrates, one of the most important performance appraisals is education, and with this heavenly retribution, if there is an artifact in hand. And if there is any filial piety in the locality, the local officials will also take the initiative to report to Tianlibao.
So Tianli reported it, causing applause from the Manchu Dynasty.
And Guo Zhengyu, who presided over this matter, was promoted to a member of the household department.
Although Guo Zhengyu was promoted, he was actually transferred out of the 'Tianli Daily' he founded. The reason is that Guo Zhengyu once again rejected Shen Shixing's solicitation of him.
Prime Minister Shen Shixing was able to hold the boat in his belly, or he also looked at Lin Yanchao's face, so he did not belittle Guo Zhengyu, but transferred him out of the Ministry of Rites.
And taking over as the host of Tianli Bao was another disciple of Shen Shixing, Wang Keshou. Of course, this is to mix sand with Shen Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Guo Zhengyu didn't say it, whether it was the Emperor's Ming Times or the Tianli Newspaper, it was a hit, and for the Hanlin Academy now, it was Alexander, and Lin Yanchao was facing the situation of teaching his apprentices and starving his teacher.
After receiving Xu Xianqing's support, Lin Yanchao discussed the matter of running a newspaper in the Hanlin Academy.
The matter of running a newspaper is different from the revision of the Ming Huidian and the record of Mu Zong, this is an opportunity to get in touch with practice, and the Hanlin people are looking forward to it.
But since the beginning of allowing the newspaper to be run, Lin Yanchao has been saving but not making a release, which has made the Hanlin people a little confused.
In fact, from the Huangming Times of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, after the success of the Tianli Newspaper of the Ministry of Rites, Lin Yanchao also considered where the newspaper of the Hanlin Academy was located.
Although when the court and the public discussed, it was proposed that the Hanlin Academy should focus on the direction of 'article imperial examination', but what is the specific operation?
Now in the review hall, Hanlin who participated in the newspaper has come.
Fang Congzhe, Ye Xianggao, and Li Tingji are all Lin Yanchao's henchmen in the Hanlin Academy, and of course, Lin Yanchao's Xiao Liangyou in the same year, and his friend Sun Jigao.
In addition, Yang Daobin, Sun Chengzong, Shu Jishili, Yuan Zongdao, Chen Yinglong and so on all attended.
Facing everyone, Lin Yanchao said first: "The Huangming Daily of the Metropolitan Procuratorate specializes in officials in the court, as well as official gentry. Tenri Bao was for local officials and gentry. And the newspaper of the Hanlin Academy is for the children, prisoners, students, what kind of newspaper do you think they like to read? ”
Xiao Liangyou said: "The imperial court has decided that it is the imperial examination of Wencui, so it should comment on the current literature and discuss the scriptures." ”
Sun Jigao said: "Of course we say that the imperial examination is the best of the best, but you want to write the scriptures in the bookstore, and the scientific examination, and you will also say these things." ”
"And the so-called newspaper lies in the new, in the fast, we can talk about articles in the annual township examination, the general examination, and the palace examination, from the Ministry of Rites, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I think it is still in the current reading people are most concerned about the matter."
Xiao Liang nodded a little and said, "This is extremely true, let's listen to the opinions of the juniors!" ”
After listening to Xiao Liangyou's words, Fang Congzhe, Ye Xianggao, and Sun Chengzong all stood up to give salutes.
Fang Congzhe said: "Students secretly think that the Huangming Daily is indeed the first to take the lead, and its editorial adoption is indeed bright, but we don't need to talk about big truths, such as such editorials, we don't need to take them, because people who understand such editorials don't need them to say more, and those who don't understand it are in vain." ”
Lin Yanchao praised: "Well said, the editorial of Huangming Daily is the imperial court to the officials and gentry to blow the wind, if we follow suit, we will lose the opportunity, even if we run a newspaper, we must have our own characteristics." ”
"I thought we could explain the policies of the imperial court, elaborate on them, and if they were not necessary, do not put their own thoughts into them, and even if they must say it, we must be objective and fair, impartial, and not partisan, so that those who read the newspaper can hear their voices from it."
Listening to Lin Yanchao's words, everyone's eyes lit up, revealing a look of deep disapproval.
Ye Xianggao said: "Chu Duan's words are thought-provoking, as the so-called public opinion comes from the science and road, our Hanlin Yuan is not as good as the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and we cannot speak for the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and rash comments are easy to contradict the opinions of the Times of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”
"Of course, this is not a trick, nor is it a way to conform to the minds of those who read the newspaper, but over time, everyone will know our position and understand our suffering."
Lin Yanchao continued to set the tone: "There is one more thing, the articles of our Hanlin Academy are not about the literature, but also about being readable, we are not afraid of others laughing at the articles written by our Hanlin Academy, how not to enter the stream, how to look like articles for ordinary people to read." ”
"Because our mind lies in the point of view, the article must be sharp, to the point, and even point to the disadvantages of the times, and at the same time, we must always be tolerant, just to broaden the horizons of those who read the newspaper."
Sun Chengzong said: "I understand what Chu Duan means, our newspaper is oriented to lifting people, national prisons, and students, and there is more than enough at the top." ”
"It is not only for the scholar class, but also for fools and fools to understand, so the newspaper of the Hanlin Academy does not have to be high, but can be read and understood by everyone who reads and writes, and the focus is to broaden knowledge and broaden knowledge."
Everyone clapped their hands and said, "That's right." ”
Li Tingji asked: "I don't know what Chu Duan thinks, what is the purpose of our newspaper in the Hanlin Academy?" ”
Lin Yanchao thought for a while and said, "Let's take a poem!" ”
Everyone said together: "I want to hear about it." ”
Lin Yanchao wrote directly on a piece of paper with ink at the moment, and everyone applauded after reading it.
But see that the poem written by Lin Yanchao is:
Kyushu is angry and thunderous,
It's sad to hear from all the horses.
I advise the Lord of Heaven to shake up,
Eclectic talent reduction.
Of course, poetry is a good poem, everyone couldn't help but be excited, Sun Chengzong asked Lin Yanchao: "Dare to ask Chu Duantiangong what he means?" ”
Lin Yanchao said: "Heaven sees itself as the people, and the sky listens to the people, and the heavens are hundreds of millions of people in the world." I often say in the Han Academy, if you want to prosper, you must change the law, but if you want to have the law, you must first have the people, where does this rule come from, is to open the wisdom of the people, the awakening of the world's scholars! ”
"The Son of Heaven is thirsty for talent, so he opens the imperial examination to seek talents in the world. Our newspaper is to open a window, open a door, so that all the people in the world can hear the voice of their hearts, and he will become a talent in governing the world one day! ”
While Lin Yanchao was speaking, Yuan Zongdao silently picked up the poem written by Lin Yanchao, praised a few words, and then looked around and saw that no one cared, and quietly stuffed it into his sleeve.
