Chapter 162: The Power of Newspapers

was forced to stand up and give advice again, which was really no way, but at that time, Mao Yulong's head was blank, thinking about how to deal with it, while talking nonsense and delaying time, so he couldn't help but say the topic of debate with Song Yuanshan, the foodie brother: "What the sage said, the people can make it, but they can't make it known." But immediately his head flashed, and he quickly changed his words: "The victor has said, the people can make it, from it, not to make it, to know it." Why don't we do what the saints teach? ”

As soon as these words came out, they caused a roar of the literati in the hall at that time. Because according to the normal interpretation of Zhu Xi's theory, this holy word can be made by the people, but cannot be known, these are two diametrically opposed truths. As a result, such a sage's words were misinterpreted by this little thing, which inevitably aroused criticism from a full hall of officials who were born as scholars. For a while, the spit flew and the accusations were full.

Mao Yulong really didn't expect his unintentional words, but he got such a big reaction, and he was surrounded there for a while.

Fortunately, the eunuch who had unknowingly become Mao Yulong's biggest backer knocked on the table violently: "When is this?" I am still arguing about this minutiae, and I will talk about it after the present. ”

As a result, a guy who didn't open his eyes suddenly broke out of Donglin's backbone, and stood up and directly confronted: "The world can be destroyed, but the teachings of the saints cannot be destroyed, cannot be misinterpreted, and cannot be distorted, this is the avenue, so we must stop this bullshit remarks, and I will debate with him to the end." ”

Seeing this guy who was so frightened that he shrank behind the pillar as soon as he talked about business, he jumped out with dignity and reason for his own words, and wanted to fight himself to the end, which really made Mao Yulong angry.

"What we really have to fight to the end now is not for you and me to interpret the saint's words differently, but for the sake of the world. Although he can't have the world in mind, at least he should solve the problem at hand, I don't know what position this old official holds, did he give up the crisis in Hangzhou in front of him just to justify the sage's respective interpretations? Is this inner city and outer city of millions of people still higher than the understanding of the words of the saints? Which is more important, can't you, a person who is familiar with the books of the sages, know the importance of it? At this time, Mao Yulong couldn't care much more, and directly refuted it fiercely: "If you are only entangled for the different interpretations of the sage books, give up your responsibility, and give up the salvation of millions of people inside and outside Hangzhou, then I, a student who does not learn and have no skills, ask my father-in-law to let him go home directly, don't waste his precious time here, ask him to go back to his home, study behind closed doors, and wait for this old official to study and understand the concept of the sage, and then come out for the country." ”

This was actually Mao Yulong's angry words in order not to waste time, but the eunuch who guarded the town knocked on the table: "What Yulong said makes sense, Lord Youbu Political Envoy, you don't even understand the idea of a child, especially in this extraordinary period, you usually ask you to come up with an idea but you don't know what to do, are you still worthy of this position?" Decide now, remove you from your position, and go home and read the sages. ”

The words of the eunuch guarding the town are definitely not a joke, because he does have this power, and this power does not come from the emperor and the cabinet, but from the powerful nine thousand years old behind him, which is the arrogance of the eunuch now.

Mao Yulong was completely shocked at that time, he really didn't expect that this guy who jumped out to be a steel bar essence turned out to be the nominal second-in-command of Zhejiang, the right political envoy. Seeing that guy wailing and being carried out, Mao Yulong really didn't understand. He is just a small cloth white ding, and in the blink of an eye, he smashed the job of the second-in-command of the thirteen provinces in the world, which is too. At this time, looking at the big guys around him, his eyes were no longer fire, but bows and arrows. Mao Yulong was already afraid, because from this point on, it was already destined that his shortcut to Zhongnan was gone, and his future prospects might be gone.

When the eunuch saw the frightened Mao Yulong, he understood his thoughts, gently clasped the table with his fingers, and said softly to him: "You don't have to think about it, as long as you solve the crisis in front of you, I will bear your future, and you continue to talk about your truth." ”

Things have come to this point, and it's too late to regret it. At this time, Mao Yulong completely believed in the sentence of fate, life is unsatisfactory, the plan never changes quickly, and there are always more disappointments than hopes. But now the only hope for self-protection is this eunuch, otherwise, with the result of smashing a third-grade master's job just now, it is estimated that when he walks out of the door of this yamen, there will be a huge wooden stick, which will be smashed directly on the back of his head, leaving his bones gone.

So he stubbornly continued: "Since the sage has already told us, it is clearly pointed out that our way out is now, and the people can make it, and they can make it, and they can't make it, and they know it. In other words, now they can be used to sign the hearts of the people, and they are allowed to accept the assignment of the government. But there are many gossips among the people, and they cannot be used, so use a way to tell them the truth. After letting them know the truth, wouldn't it be better to be willing to contribute to the government from the bottom of their hearts? After all, the twisted melon is not sweet, only the melon is ripe and falling, which is the best ending. ”

I don't know how others behaved, but the father-in-law of the town guard was bright-eyed: "I understand what Yulong means, you can tell me what to do about this, you can achieve such a result." ”

Once the idea is opened, it will come naturally, so Mao Yulong suggested with confidence: "Educate the people, understand the current situation, and not be bewitched by gossip, we should mobilize all forces to publicize the people, tell him the current situation, explain the current situation, and let them contribute to the government from the bottom of their hearts, this is the correct solution." ”

The eunuch who guarded the town said: "The so-called rumors stop at the wise, as long as everyone understands the truth, the matter can be solved, but I don't know what you can do Yulong." ”

"In our city of Hangzhou, there is a newspaper with a huge influenceβ€”β€”"

As soon as these words came out, it became clear to the eunuch again that this newspaper was agreed to run by himself, and this Mao Yulong was a small shareholder. As long as you publish the truth about the war situation on it, it will immediately spread that it will be a household name, how can you forget about it? Really damn it.

"You should go to your newspaper now, and immediately publish and distribute the first information on the war situation in our hands to calm the people's minds."

Mao Yulong was overjoyed at that time, and this could calm the people's hearts. The things in the newspaper became the mainstream of the main idea, and it was able to expand the huge sales of the newspaper, which was really a national disaster in times of war. "The students should go now, and strive to publish the latest news of the war report tomorrow, so that the news in the newspaper can become the mainstream of thought, and counteract those gossips to calm the people's minds."

As a result, in order to stabilize the situation, the eunuch couldn't wait, and said directly to Mao Yulong: "The situation is too late, in this way, I approve you to immediately go to the account room to withdraw 200 taels of silver, let your newspaper be published, and immediately publish the real form of war, you don't have to sell it, and give it directly to the people and gentry everywhere for free." Then he thought for a moment: "Immediately print 100,000 copies, and if 200 taels of silver is not enough, add another 200 taels." ”

So the first issue in the history of the world was freshly baked.

Of course, in the current era, it is unrealistic to print 100,000 copies in one day, but it is impossible for the eunuchs to go to check one by one, and it is understandable to do some tricks and feet in the middle and make more money.

Of course, we must follow the teachings of the sages, so that we can only send our own national disasters, but we educate others to donate and lose our fortunes for the national disaster.

And at this time, the eunuchs also understood one thing, Qiantang County was not shrewd and capable when they were in the current county government, but once they were transferred to other places, they reverted to straw bales, this is not because they are not adaptable, but there is a demon in Qiantang County, a little 16-year-old demon.
