"The second thing next is the imperial court's newspaper and the folk tabloids."

The smiling faces of several booksellers froze suddenly, and the temperature seemed to drop by a few degrees at once.

The contents of the imperial court's official newspapers are mostly official articles such as imperial court political facilities, orders, rewards and punishments, edicts, chapter lists, resignations, court thanks, and annotations, which are finalized by the privy envoy or prime minister, and copied and distributed by the Jinjuyuan in strict accordance with the content of the final version, and cannot be changed without authorization. Compared with Di Bao, the content of the non-governmental "tabloids" is both fresh and fast, and the unreported things in the Di Bao, the news of catching wind and shadows, and even fabricated things, are spread the day before, and the tabloids are printed the next day, and the hawkers are all over the streets. The imperial court has always had a headache with these tabloids, however, many bans have not stopped. After the imperial court moved to Ezhou, the atmosphere of public discussion became more prevalent, and tabloid news became popular, and gradually it was ignored. And to listen to the inside information of the imperial court, and even fabricate articles to attack others, how many such things have been done by the tabloids? According to the laws of the imperial court, these booksellers here have a bad debt in their butts, but the court doesn't care about it.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Prime Minister Deng Cheng meant by suddenly mentioning this stubble?

Zigong said: The fault of a gentleman is also like the eclipse of the sun and the moon: everyone sees it; What's more, everyone looks up to it. Deng Susi said slowly, "Politicians, don't do things that are bad in the dark room, every move is above board, and they are naturally not afraid of being public." These are the proper meanings. In addition to the newspapers, there are tabloids, the leakage of the provincial court, or the plagiarism of the market, or the writing of opinions, the daily book and a paper, after the game, one to ten, ten to hundreds, and even all over the streets and alleys and countryside. It is a good thing that the peddlers and the old people in the countryside can also know the affairs of the DPRK and China, talk about the streets and alleys, and often have a heart of concern for the country. ”

The prime minister's tone was softened, and he didn't seem to be responsible, but had a sense of appreciation, and the booksellers felt a little calmer.

Speaking of this, Deng Su looked back at the civil servant of the Di Bao Division and said: "I heard that the people of Beijing are happy and curious, and they all take the tabloid as the first and are called 'news', and there are those who specialize in spying on the affairs of the imperial court, called 'informants'. Often, before the newspaper is issued, the tabloid newspaper has already said, 'Today someone is called, someone is called, someone is removed.' However, he checked it day by day, and all of this information was accurate or inaccurate, and even took fiction as truth and nothing as nothing. Therefore, the imperial court has repeatedly banned it, but it does not want the people to spread false rumors. However, I still think that the tabloids are popping up one after another, precisely because of the prosperity of literature and education in the Great Song Dynasty, if good students guide cultivation, this is still a great thing. ”

All the civil officials nodded yes, and Deng Su said to the scholars: "Therefore, the prime minister has reported to His Majesty, and the new Di Bao Department Yamen has been established, and in the future, as long as the military aircraft is not involved, the Di Bao Department will inform you as soon as possible, and at the same time, if you have any doubts about the government and politics, you can also inquire about the Di Bao Division, although it may not be as detailed as the Chao Bao, but it is better than the word 'fast'." In this way, you don't need to dredge the money, and you don't have to copy the newspaper in the wind and rain, you can get the latest and fastest news. Luckily? ”

"Very good!" "Very good!"

"Lord Deng's mind is like a light wind and a moon, and I admire it very much."

In a voice of praise, someone asked with a suspicious face: "Deng Xianggong, the Di Bao Division informed you, but are these people here?" ”

"Of course it's more than that," Deng Su smiled slightly, "I have a prosperous literary style in the Great Song Dynasty, don't say that the state capital of the world, just Ezhou, there are hundreds of tabloids, and they have to be informed one by one, and the place of the Yamen of the Dibao Division is not enough." Therefore, the number of newspapers in the imperial court is limited to 100, of which 20 are here, 20 are in Bianliang, and 60 are in the rest of the state capitals. Of course, these are all reputable tabloids. The Dibao Division will also adjust this list according to the changing situation. The surrounding civil officials nodded their heads when they heard this, obviously they already knew it, and it was extremely clever to restrain the folk tabloids.

Wang Duanli added: "Outside Ezhou, the Di Bao Department sends the news to the state capitals every day with pigeon books, and then the yamen stationed in the state capital notifies the tabloids. His face was silent, but his heart was secretly proud. The newspaper department used flying pigeons to pass on books every day, and the Privy Council and the Ministry of War were originally unhappy, denouncing it as "making a big fuss", but Deng Su was stubborn, saying that news is related to the stability of people's hearts, and "the outside must first be at home", for the Great Song Dynasty, there is nothing more important than the stability of people's hearts, so at the insistence of the Prime Minister's Office, the Di Bao Department was able to use the flying pigeon to transmit the news every day, and the Prime Minister also deliberately allocated a sum of money to add and expand the pigeon station on the important transmission route.

"Pigeon Biography?"

"How much money does this cost?" The booksellers gasped.

The wind of flying pigeons comes from the summer country, the better the pigeon breed, the more expensive the price, the usual feeding and taming must be very careful, a group of good pigeons spend money and effort is not inferior to raising several good horses. The flying pigeon transmits the message, because of the birds of prey hunting, hunter catching, as well as wind and rain, and even geomagnetic changes, the loss of carrier pigeons on the way is almost inevitable. In extreme cases, the return rate of pigeons is frighteningly lower, and as a result, the cost of a book is frighteningly high. There are several booksellers in the Great Song Dynasty, and there are branches in Bianliang, Ezhou, Hangzhou, Quanzhou and other places, and they will never use flying pigeons to deliver news except for important news.

After the shock, the booksellers secretly calculated, and the small registration form specially informed by the Di Bao Division was not light.

The "special" treatment of the imperial court is a golden sign in itself. The Song State had a lot of tabloids. For booksellers, because tabloids sell more, and the plates and paper are not beautiful, they make no less money than books with fine engravings. When the benefits came, everyone came to print this thing. Originally, no one was a head taller than anyone else, but as soon as the list of Tingdi Newspaper came out, those who were listed and those who were not listed were immediately distinguished. The newspaper division can use flying pigeons to deliver news, and the tabloids in other states, if they can enter the list, they will get an absolute advantage out of thin air.

What is the most important thing in the news, but it is just a "fast" word, as soon as this pigeon book comes out, the news of the imperial court is at least a few days faster, and it is not uncommon for half a month to be faster in distant places. If you are on the list, why not on the list, make a judgment from above, what else is there to fight? In other words, if the tabloid cannot enter the list of the Di Bao Division, it will lose for a while, and it will be extremely difficult to recover this disadvantage. Thinking of this, many booksellers looked at Deng Su and the officials of the Di Bao Department present, and their awe was a little more eager, even ...... Flattering.

"This third matter," Deng Su arched his hand and said, "I want everyone here to praise a lot." ”

"You are really the righteous merchants of my Great Song Dynasty." Deng Suru held the wisdom pearl in his hand, and said with a smile, "I am a big country in the Song Dynasty, 60 million people, if you talk about the population and wealth, it is the largest country in the world. The people's hearts are strong and strong, and the people's hearts are chaotic. Therefore, Deng has a wish, whether it is the center of the court or the state and county, whether it is the rivers and lakes or the temple, everyone will work together and work together. If so, Deng's wish is enough. He sighed and added, "Since the court has been widely discussed, everyone has expressed their opinions, which is good. However, there are many differences. Even those with clear hearts and bright eyes are still fascinated by strange theories. Therefore, I hope that you will print tabloids, earnestly take the Great Song Dynasty as your mind, do not blindly pretend to be strange and dazzling, and stand more in the position of the Great Song Dynasty and the perspective of the imperial court, and make fair and serious arguments. Deng Su looked at the businessmen and said in a deep voice, "Deng's wish is not for himself, but for the Great Song Dynasty." Now that Zhongxing is in sight, stabilizing people's hearts and being harmonious and auspicious is really my first priority in the Great Song Dynasty. Ladies and gentlemen, please. ”

With that, Deng Su stood up and bowed to the booksellers, and the civil officials stood up with him.

The booksellers hurriedly stood up to avoid it, and replied in a mess: "Deng Xianggong, please speak, the villain and others are all obedient." "As long as I can do it, I will never shirk it." "Deng Xianggong's heart of worrying about the country and the people really touched and admired the villain." "Deng Xianggong just speaks, and the villain is willing to be driven." "We will definitely stand in the position of the imperial court and shout for Deng Xianggong." "Deng Xianggong has an order, and the villain and others all obey."

By this point, the big picture had been decided. Deng Su chatted with the booksellers for a while before getting up and leaving.

Everyone stood up together to send off the prime minister, looking at his back, all showing admiration or admiration.

The civil servants of the Dibao Division stayed behind to discuss the details of the next cooperation with the booksellers. When Deng Xianggong was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he had been planning this matter, and after ascending to the stage, he immediately implemented it. Compared with the state scholars and students, these booksellers do not have a high status. However, by subduing these booksellers, he controlled half of the public opinion of the Song Kingdom, and in addition, the Di Bao Department controlled the coordination, and regularly wrote articles to be published in various tabloids, and so on, if everywhere was the mouthpiece of the imperial court, and everywhere there were people who spoke for the imperial court. The imperial court suddenly grasped the initiative of the Qing discussion, and even made the offensive and defensive situation change.

............

Outside the sea of Guangzhou, the sailors are the governor of the White Tiger Hall, and the generals will enter one after another.

Different from the casual atmosphere in the past, the faces of the generals were a little serious, before the Lord Governor opened the hall, Zhou He and the others who arrived first did not chat, but just stood solemnly on both sides, looking at Zhao Xingde with worried eyes, Feng Mi looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and wanted to speak several times, but he held back. This is the last point before Zhao Xingde goes ashore, according to the convention, all the generals above the sixth rank of the sailor are all here, and they are full of people, but they are silent.

Zhao Xingde sat in the handsome seat, flipping through a copy of "Character Chronicles" written by Liu Shao of the Three Kingdoms Wei. He came from all walks of life under the command of the South China Sea Naval Division, and it can be described as a wealth of talents, but also a mixture of good and bad. It is difficult to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, and it is difficult to know the face of a person. This biography is precisely about the art of observing, appreciating, and employing people. Its theory of five qualities, nine signs, eight views and five views was highly respected from the Jin Dynasty to the Song Dynasty.
