Chapter 593: Newspapers
Wu Meicun really wanted to take the risk of squirting a good meal.
What about your integrity, what about your ideals, you are simply inferior to a beast, even your own favorite concubine......
But the scene of Haicheng is in front of you.
As the old saying goes, 'A glimpse of a leopard is a whole panther.'" ’
Facts speak louder than words!
At this time, although he didn't know enough about Haicheng, he already understood that the development of Haicheng would definitely surpass the countless cities of the Ming Dynasty at this time.
And although Mao Bijiang was in decline at this time, the hope in his eyes could not be concealed at all, and he must have reached a compromise with Xu Changqing.
"Brother Mao, let's say, what do you, or the loyal uncle behind you, want me to do?"
Wu Meicun didn't have a little expression, and looked at Mao Bijiang indifferently.
Even Dong Xiaowan can sell it for glory, even if there is a reason, his character can already be seen, do you need to say anything?
Looking at Wu Meicun's appearance, Mao Bijiang sighed deeply, and shook his head with a wry smile: "Brother Wu, I know, you will definitely look down on me." But there are many things in it that you can't understand right now. Brother Wu can have thoughts at this time, listen to me finish my uncle's thoughts? ”
"You say."
Wu Meicun still had no expression, he wanted to see how much price Xu Changqing would offer him.
Mao Bijiang also reined in his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, the reason why Mao went to great lengths to invite Brother Wu over at this time is for an uncle's genius idea to start a newspaper!"
What is a newspaper?
A newspaper is a piece of paper on which military affairs are written, including the things that ordinary people care about every day, once a day, every day.
At this time, in addition to me having joined our Haicheng Newspaper, many old acquaintances have already joined.
But Uncle specially mentioned it to me before, Brother Meicun, the first director of this Haicheng Newspaper, he wants you to do it!
As long as we run the Haicheng Morning Post, Brother Meicun, you will be able to enter the office in the shortest possible time, and it is not impossible to enter the cabinet in the future!
Brother Umemura, I know that you look down on me now, and I don't want to explain the things in it to you. But one day, you will understand me. And, Brother Umemura, you should know by now how much your uncle values you, right? You have a good rest today, and when you have time in the future, you can see your uncle at any time! ”
“……”
Wu Meicun was silent for a while, completely confused by the words of Mao Bijiang.
What's that?
Write every day, publish every day?
Can you still write about military affairs?
Isn't Xu Changqing afraid of causing a riot?
Newspaper, what do you want to report?
However, thinking about Xu Changqing's methods, he must have a backhand, how can this kind of tiger and wolf be defenseless against this kind of thing?
Seeing that Wu Meicun was in a state of thought, he was not in a hurry.
He understands very well that even if Wu Meicun is arrogant, he is no match for reality, how can he not want to do something to change the general trend of the world at this time?
Not to mention this kind of writing work.
After a while, Wu Meicun suddenly sneered: "Brother Mao, Xu Changqing is a thief, and he really has a lot of means." But I want my Wu Meicun to be subject to him, let him drive me, go against my conscience, and dream! You just put it bluntly, what conditions did Xu Changqing prescribe to me? ”
Mao Bijiang shook his head and smiled, Wu Meicun is a boiled duck, with a stiff mouth, I really don't know what the uncle likes about him.
"Brother Mei Village, I'm afraid you have to ask your uncle about this matter in person. However, in the next guess, in the future, Brother Umemura will be at least one of the six radicals. ”
"......"
Wu Meicun was stunned for a moment, and her brows furrowed tightly.
He actually realized that Xu Changqing had put so much effort into getting him to Haicheng, and the price would never be low, but he didn't expect that Xu Changqing would think so highly of him.
One of the six radicals......
What is this concept......
What followed was endless silence.
The fatty fish carefully cooked by Yin Tao was no longer beautiful, and neither of them spoke anymore.
Finally, more than an hour later, it was dark, and Wu Meicun said: "It's not early, Brother Mao, let's go." Wu still has to find a place to stay. ”
Mao Bijiang smiled, didn't say much, and went out directly to settle the bill.
"Childe, no, no, no, no, how can the concubine still accept your money."
Yin Tao was busy refusing again and again.
After all, Wu Meicun had already inscribed her, saying that it might be too much for a thousand gold, but the money for this meal must be more than enough.
Mao Bijiang smiled and said: "Boss, this code is one yard, if you don't collect money, then how can we patronize your business in the future, take it." ”
Seeing that Mao Bijiang simply gave the money, Wu Meicun's brows furrowed even tighter.
It is indeed immoral and contrary to the original intention in the general righteousness, but he still has his pride.
Moreover, if he Wu Meicun is ignorant and openly offends Xu Changqing, even if he can leave a good reputation among Shilin, he can follow-up ......
The point is that if he doesn't get this thing, someone will definitely make up for it.
Although Xu Changqing did not personally send someone to invite him at this time, he had already given him enough courtesy......
After leaving the fish hall and thinking for a while, Wu Meicun said: "Brother Mao, I, when will I be able to see Uncle Zhongyi?" ”
Mao Bijiang was stunned for a moment, and only reacted after a while, although he was funny in his heart, he pretended to be happy on his face and said: "If Brother Mei Village is interested now, I will immediately send someone to inform my uncle!" ”
……
Not long after, Wu Meicun and Mao Bijiang got the news, and Xu Changqing invited them to the official hall for dinner.
This makes both men a clever one.
Especially Wu Meicun, the whole person was a little unbearable, he expected that Xu Changqing would definitely be a corporal of Lixian, but he didn't expect that Xu Changqing would actually give him face like this......
In the bustling night view of Haicheng, they were soon brought to the official hall by the carriage brought by Ergou himself.
Xu Changqing had a rare day today, he was playing with Xu Xin, Da Lang and Erlang, and when he got the news that they were coming, he quickly changed his clothes and came to accompany him.
"Hehe, this is Brother Meicun, Changqing has admired his name for a long time."
Looking at Wu Meicun's high appearance, Xu Changqing's posture was very low and enthusiastic.
"Don't dare to be. Uncle Zhongyi is loved. ”
Wu Meicun is lukewarm and still maintains his nobility.
Xu Changqing didn't care, and said to Mao Bijiang with a smile: "Brother Mao, these days, it's been hard. ”
Mao Bijiang's heart was slightly warm, and he was busy and respectfully smiled: "It is an honor for students to be able to serve the uncle......
Although Xu Changqing is very domineering in many things, he really doesn't have the heart and means to say, and he must do what he says, and he has an excellent reputation.
Although he was a little poor and suffering at this time, he also managed to preserve his reputation.
Mao Bijiang also has to admire, he is far from Xu Changqing's level.
The food and drinks were ready, and as the three of them sat down, all kinds of food and drinks were served in turn.
However, it is abundant and not wasteful.
A few side dishes are very exquisite, but the portions are not much, but there are two pots of mutton and rabbit meat, which are sure to make people full.
Wu Meicun secretly summed up in his heart, Xu Changqing is really different.
After drinking a few glasses of wine and chatting about some family things, Xu Changqing didn't ink, went straight to the point, and talked about running a newspaper.
"Brother Meicun, Brother Bijiang should tell you about the matter, I have no other requirements for this matter, I must let the people of the world know etiquette, understand etiquette, and know the roots of our ancestors. For example, those Han people in the north at this time, I, Xu Changqing, can understand them, because the situation has to temporarily submit to the might of the Tartars, but if they act for the tiger, rely on the power of the Tartars to mess around, and harm our Han people, I, Xu Changqing, will never tolerate ......"
As Xu Changqing expressed his ambition impassionedly, Wu Meicun was also a little enthusiastic for a while.
I have to admit that Xu Changqing is really very charming, and it is no wonder that he can do it at a young age.
Can......
As soon as he remembered that several of his old friends had been accepted into the room by Xu Changqing, and even Dong Xiaowan, the favorite concubine who ventured to open up the territory, was forcibly taken away by Xu Changqing, he couldn't stop eating in his heart.
Xu Changqing is a national thief, how can he give in?
Seeing that Wu Meicun fell silent, Xu Changqing was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Although this matter is imminent, I, the Han people, have been poisoned and strangled by the Manchu culture, but Mr. Meicun is a newcomer after all, and he always needs some time to think about it." Come on, let's have another drink. ”
But after drinking this glass of wine, Wu Meicun couldn't stand it in his heart.
Xu Changqing's gang is broken, co-authored, if he doesn't enter the hub, the Han people will suffer huge losses?
The key is that he is really interested in the newspaper, and after drinking this glass of wine, he couldn't help but say: "Uncle, you, you really let go of the newspaper, can I write whatever I want?" ”
Seeing that Wu Meicun was finally on the road, Xu Changqing smiled and said, "Of course I want to write what I want!" As long as it is beneficial to my Ming Dynasty and my Han people, I can make a guarantee here and let all your talents play to their heart's content! However, if we hurt our Han people and hurt our national feelings, we will never allow it. ”
……
A banquet lasted until late at night, and most of the time it was Xu Changqing who was talking, Wu Meicun and Mao Bijiang listened, showing their ambitions, and it could be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts.
Back in the inner study, Li Youwei had already prepared sobering soup and foot-washing water for Xu Changqing, and while serving Xu Changqing to drink soup, she asked her henchmen to help Xu Changqing wash her feet, and said with a smile: "Changqing, are you really worried that Wu Meicun is messing with people with a temperament like Bijiang?" If they talk nonsense, there will be big problems. ”
Xu Changqing finished drinking the sobering soup, hugged Li Youwei's slender waist, buried his face in front of Li Youwei, sniffed the fragrance on her body to his heart's content, and said with a smile: "The environment will change people." How is it possible to make them do whatever they want? Youwei, don't worry, Wu Meicun is a smart person, and he has great talent, we don't need to say anything or do anything, soon, he will figure it out himself. By the way, it's been going well these days, right? Our Ma Du and Shi Butang, do you have any news? ”
Feeling Xu Changqing's big hands, Li Youwei glanced at Xu Changqing delicately, didn't bother to pay attention to it, and said: "It's almost there, it's all going well." Including the elder of the Hou Pavilion and the Wei State Mansion, all of them have agreed to our request, and they have reached a preliminary agreement. However, Changqing, Shi Butang and Ma Du have never replied......"
"Ma Du and Shi Butang didn't reply?"
Xu Changqing's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.
Hou Sui agreed yes.
This kind of bigwig, who has been mixed in the system, knows very well what to choose.
And Xu Hongji and other nobles, that is, if they have milk, they are mothers, how can they not earn money if they have money to earn?
Including Qian Ge Lao, who is afraid of cold water, it is not difficult to start.
As for Ma Shiying and Shi Kefa's side, it was natural for them to refuse, and it was all expected, after all, they were the two largest mountains in the south at this time.
After thinking for a while, Xu Changqing suddenly laughed: "Youwei, don't worry, it's a good show, it's going to start soon." ”
