Gu Yanwu carefully looked at the newspaper in the newsboy's hand and found that it was a large sheet of Lianqi paper, and it was estimated that the price was only the cost price of paper, ink, etc.

But even if it's not for anything else, just the name of the new Amber's friend is worth his money.

"You've made a bit of a loss in this business", Gu Yanwu teased with a smile as he handed over the three coins.

Who knew that the newsboy actually laughed, "This lord, this newspaper from Xinanbo is not for making money, it is for the use of epidemic prevention for the people of the world, if it weren't for the fear that the people would take the newspaper home and paste the window, this newspaper might have been given away in vain." ”

"Hahaha, the new Amber is indeed insightful."

Looking at the ordinary people who were watching on the side, Gu Yanwu was deeply impressed with Liu Ximing's opinion.

In these days, paper is also money.

As soon as he got the newspaper, he hurriedly looked down and looked at it carefully.

I saw a conspicuous large square box in the upper right corner of this newspaper, and the three big characters "Zhongyuan Daily" in the frame were very conspicuous.

There are also a few lines of small characters printed under the name of the Central Plains Daily, "Printed on February 23 of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, published every ten years", "This newspaper is dedicated to epidemic prevention and major events in the world, and is also willing to contract business endorsements. ”

This Wujiang brother is really a good business.

Thinking of Liu Ximing's various skills in business, and seeing the news about business endorsements in this newspaper, Gu Yanwu smiled.

As soon as the crowd of onlookers around saw that there was a man who paid for this newspaper, and saw that Gu Yanwu was young and kind-faced, he immediately pounced on it.

"This lord, what is it said in this newspaper, can you please tell the old and young masters?"

Looking at the group of people in the capital who were wearing dark or plain cotton shirts and holding their hands in their sleeves, Gu Yanwu thought about it and nodded, spread out the newspaper in his hand and read it.

A few words of the original newspaper are to the left, written in medium font:

His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty ordered him to appoint the new Anbo, the Zhengsanpin Jiayi doctor, and the Zhan Shi Liu Ximing as the governor of the Central Plains.

The governor of the Central Plains is fully responsible for the epidemic in the six provinces of Beizhili, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, and Huguang.

"Wow"

"Is this new Amber the one who led the troops to fight back the Tartars?"

"Isn't it, who else but him?"

"Hehe, I've heard, this new Amber is a young hero......"

"The imperial court has finally done a good thing, with Xin'anbo here, the epidemic can be controlled."

I have long heard that Liu Wujiang is famous among the people, but I didn't expect it to have such appeal.

Gu Yanwu looked at the people who were talking spontaneously with some surprise, and sighed in his heart.

He continued to read, and the following personnel appointments and dismissals were a report on the matter.

"On February 22, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, His Majesty the Emperor led his ministers to worship Emperor Wenchang and the plague god at the altar of earth, in order to eliminate the disaster ......, this newspaper is telling the people of the world, the way of heaven is impermanent, people should be self-reliant, although the sacrifice is made today, but the elimination of the plague also needs everyone to be vigilant, and there can be no luck."

Each article in the Central Plains Daily was separated by a different box, and there were commas, periods and other sentence reading aids, Gu Yanwu read it quickly.

But what attracted Gu Yanwu the most was a picture in this newspaper.

It is impressively painted with Chongzhen's appearance when he sacrificed at the altar of the earth, and who else could it be that the three sacrifices were not Liu Ximing, and this picture was obviously more realistic than the general illustrations.

There are even illustrations in this newspaper, I'm afraid the cost is a little too high, Gu Yanwu was surprised.

He immediately flipped over the newspaper and showed the picture to the crowd of onlookers, causing the people to exclaim.

If Liu Ximing was at the scene, he would probably be snickering again, although woodcut illustrations were already used for printing in the Ming Dynasty, but it was unheard of to be applied to newspapers.

Liu Ximing, who is familiar with the propaganda road, naturally wants to use this point, and compared with the Chinese-style graceful character painting method, the Central Plains Daily uses the Western-style realistic painting method, and the degree of on-site restoration is clearer.

The people looked at it, as if they really saw the emperor sacrificing on the altar of the earth.

However, Liu Ximing still has some regrets, although the principle of the early camera is very simple, but because various chemical reagents still need to be constantly tested, there will be no finished products for a while.

"Liu Xi, the governor of the Central Plains, the left attendant of the military department and the right deputy envoy of the Imperial Inspectorate, ordered that the epidemic was not descended by ghosts and gods, and it had long existed between heaven and earth. As the saying goes, the Buddha sees a bowl of water, 84,000 insects, and the epidemic is caused by one of these insects, and the official calls it a bacterium......

"This disease is mostly carried by rats, fleas, etc., so the official named it plague, in recent years, the Central Plains military disasters are connected, the bones of the people can not be collected, there are many plague patients whose bones are eaten by rats, rats and other rats, rats flow through the city and countryside, and make others sick......"

"The governor of the Central Plains ordered that among the six provinces, the corpses of all plague patients should be cremated. The sick should live in isolation from the unsick, and if they really need care, they should also cover their faces with a damp cloth and wash their hands with water soaked in ashes and ashes......"

In the entire Central Plains Daily, a large part of the article is about how the epidemic occurs, how to prevent and control it, how the government should deal with it, how the people should face it, etc., plus the language is straightforward and simple, Gu Yanwu read it in one breath, and he only felt that his heart suddenly opened up.

It turns out that this is how the disease came about, and the disease can also be eliminated by prevention and isolation.

The careful Gu Yanwu noticed that Liu Ximing specifically mentioned in the article that if a thing is born, there must be a thing to restrain each other, and he has found that the plague is a thing that is mutually restrictive through Gewu Zhizhi, and it is being vigorously researched and developed, compared to the inconvenience of having a drug on the market.

This news not only made Gu Yanwu, but also the people in Beijing, who were already panicking about the epidemic, cheer up.

When he saw the newspaper at the end of the page, Gu Yanwu found that there was a message on it to recruit talents.

"The Central Plains Governor Yamen Order, in order to ensure the effective development of the epidemic relief work in the six provinces, the Governor Yamen sincerely recruits people with lofty ideals in the world to enter the scene, Mencius said: If the world is ruled peacefully, in today's world, who can do it without me? The dynasty has been raising soldiers for hundreds of years, and only in the critical autumn can we show the true character of heroes......"

Seeing this, Gu Yanwu couldn't help but admire: "This newspaper should have been done like this, Brother Wujiang is really a genius in the world." ”

Looking at the surrounding onlookers, many of the people had begun to pay for the newspaper, Gu Yanwu praised it in his heart, put away the newspaper after reading it a few times, and went straight to the Nanzhili Hall.

Not only did the people in Beijing become disturbed because of the Central Plains News, but even Chongzhen was in the palace.

Although Jinyiwei has shrunk significantly, he still has a certain degree of control over the two capitals, especially Chongzhen, who specially asked Wang Chengen to stare at Liu Ximing's movements for the sake of epidemic prevention.

Therefore, as soon as the Central Plains newspaper went on sale, Chongzhen got the newspaper.

Listening to Wang Chengen finish reading the newspaper word by word, Chongzhen couldn't help but command in high spirits: "Go quickly, invite Xin Anbo over, I want to ask in person." ”

Liu Ximing was still at home at this time preparing to go south, and the newspaper was something he had thought of a few days ago.

As a descendant, Liu Ximing naturally knows that for public events such as the epidemic, the most important thing is to be transparent, eliminate public panic as much as possible, and provide guidance for the people of Daming to prevent the epidemic.

Of course, there is also a lot of careful thinking about him.

Although the Central Plains Daily has a role in guiding epidemic prevention, it also has an attempt to make a name for him.

Don't you see that the newspapers are full of statements such as the Central Plains Governor's Yamen Order, the New Anbo Liu Xi's Order, and so on, once the epidemic prevention is successful, the personal prestige of Liu Ximing will be immeasurable.

As soon as he heard that the palace had summoned him to the palace to play the right game, Liu Ximing hurriedly changed into his official uniform and went straight to Zicheng.

In the Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen was already excited because of the newspaper.

Since ancient times, we have never heard of such a way of doing things.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Liu Ximing stepping into the big picture, Chongzhen couldn't wait to raise the newspaper in his hand and asked, "This Central Plains newspaper is from the Qing family?" ”

Liu Ximing cautiously took it over to confirm, and then nodded with a smile, "Exactly, since His Majesty issued the order, the minister has not dared to slack off, while coordinating the household department, Beijing camp and other departments, he is preparing for the promotion of epidemic prevention." ”

Chongzhen said excitedly: "This article is detailed and substantial, it is indeed a first-class good thing for epidemic prevention, but if it can only be circulated in Beijing, I am afraid it will not be of much benefit to epidemic prevention, how can the Qing family solve this point?" ”
