Chapter 166: The Telegraph
Editing seems simple, but there are still some requirements, first familiarize yourself with the environment, and then familiarize yourself with the workflow, which will quickly get started. Originally, the newspaper was not too famous, but the key was that people in this era did not have this string in their heads, and they did not have the technical conditions, and there was also the problem of financial resources. No rich man in the Ming Dynasty would pay for such a thing that could not see the obvious benefits.
Three days later, the second issue of Ming Pao was officially released, this time covering most of Beijing. Restaurants, teahouses, green houses, inns, etc. are all within the scope of distribution, and the newsboys are also recruited in Beijing.
There are those who are amazed at the newspaper shooting, and there are those who make sarcastic remarks.
Although there are mixed reviews, there are "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to open the way, there are beautiful poems and songs, there are interesting stories about the Beijing teacher, and there are the contents of the imperial court's arrival report, it can be said that "Ming Pao" is appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar.
In particular, the submission column has attracted the attention of the literati in Beijing. There is also a revelation in the second issue: "The affairs of the world, everyone in the world can know it, and we sincerely invite famous writers from all walks of life to write articles, needle current affairs, and guide the country." ”
The most affordable thing is that it costs a lot of money to polish the pen, which attracts a group of poor literati, even if they write vernacular as required.
In particular, some literati published articles in newspapers and went to a certain green house or tea house, which was a very face-saving thing. You can hold the newspaper and say, "Look at it, clumsy! ”
By the time of the fifth issue, the most attractive to readers was nothing else, and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
This elegant and vulgar martial arts has already had countless fans. Wang Yue's pen name Sihua spread throughout Beijing. However, this serialization is too cheating for the majority of fans. Now there is no network, and there is no place to urge more, and I don't know how many people are scratching their ears and cheeks in order to wait for updates.
"Sihua, do you want to get married?" Zhang Ziyun asked.
Wang Yue, who was reading the new issue of "Ming Pao", raised his head and couldn't help but smile and asked, "No, why do you ask this?" ”
Zhang Ziyun said: "Hou Fangyu and the others are both members of the Restoration Society. ”
Regarding the branch of the Donglin Party, Zhang Ziyun, who was born in the family of Xunqin, has no good feelings.
Wang Yue said: "The resumption of the society takes the inheritance of Donglin's ambition as its own responsibility, and there are not a few people who are in the Donglin lineage. They lecture and form associations, speak highly, dare to admonish, and then deceive the court staff, and they can directly become famous and shocking the world, and then they will proclaim themselves as good ministers in the world. It's almost all this way, and it's ridiculous. ”
"For the sake of their own selfish interests, these Donglin Party members have cut off how much financial resources the imperial court has, and why are the taxes of the imperial court trapped here. Commercial taxation, mine supervision, and tax department, which of them is not an important source of finance for the imperial court? To put it mildly, they are not as good as Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs. ”
He smiled again and said, "So how can I get married?" I just like the writing of the two of them. ”
Zhang Ziyun pondered: "I don't like the Donglin Party's style either, but why is the imperial court so difficult, and what is the root cause?" ”
She didn't have this kind of vision before, but since she met Wang Yue, her thinking has gradually become clearer.
Wang Yue said: "It's very simple, look at the situation of a country, the first thing to look at is finance. The world's affairs are inseparable from the word interests. The financial situation of the imperial court is good, which shows that the imperial court is of one mind. ”
"Why did the first emperor believe in the eunuch party, it is a very simple truth, such a large country needs a lot of financial resources as support. What is the Donglin Party doing? They are constantly cutting off the financial resources of the imperial court, and these cut off sources are all going into private pockets. ”
"And what about the state? The cost of a huge state institution has been increasing. Donglin can't solve this problem, they won't do anything else except attack others. Why is this happening? It's still simple, because their backgrounds dictate that they will only do this. ”
"But the imperial court needs silver, and the officials of Liaoyu, Jiubian, and Jingshi don't need silver. The problem they can't solve, Wei Zhongxian can solve it, who will you trust if you are the emperor? ”
"Even putting aside the financial problems, if you look at the period when Donglin controlled the government, he was helpless in the face of external troubles, and he was still helpless against internal strife. So, it doesn't matter what a person says, you have to look at what he does. Since you are an official of the imperial court, the minimum professional ethics is that the purpose of your work is for the interests of the imperial court. Who are the interests of the imperial court? Who represented the imperial court? ”
Zhang Ziyun looked at him and said, "The court is in such a situation, why does the emperor still trust those ministers?" What if you don't respond? With the economy of the starting point being so strong, you have a better way to solve this problem. ”
She still hopes to be able to reform from within, rather than rebel, after all, his family is also a family member who is retired with the country. As Wang Yue's wife, she also saw that Wang Yue already had the strength to rebel. However, what she didn't understand was that Wang Yue never directly expressed the idea of directly overthrowing the court and ascending to the throne himself.
Wang Yue shook his head with a smile and said, "The emperor may know, but he can't do anything." The formation of interest groups has been deeply entrenched, and these interest groups are his right-hand men. Killing is inexhaustible, and whoever comes to power represents the civilian clique. ”
This reminded him of the Chiang dynasty.
"Even if I am asked to be the first assistant and the emperor, I will be helpless. If I were to use the wealth of the starting point city to support the imperial court, it would also be a situation where there were more wolves and less meat. The money that can be used can only be a drop in the penny. So I think that tearing down and rebuilding is the most effective way. ”
Zhang Ziyun looked at him blankly for a long time and said, "Are you still going to rebel?" ”
Wang Yue laughed and said: "Whether I rebel or not, it's not for me to decide, but how the court makes a conclusion for me." ”
Zhang Ziyun was a little confused, she really couldn't understand Wang Yue's true thoughts.
After the newspaper was basically on the right track, Wang Yue continued to pay attention to the situation on the radio.
Inside the office of the Communications Office in the starting point city.
"Yaxin, how is the training of our telegraph operators now? How about the installation of program-controlled phones and PHS systems? Wang Yue asked Chen Yaxin, director of communications.
The telegraph is an old-fashioned telegraph that Wang Yue found from the old warehouse of the modern army, there are more than 200 units, the power is 15 watts, and the battery is transformed into a lithium battery for power supply. Judging from the performance during World War II, the fifteen-watt telegraph could be used to communicate the whole country. This plane is purer than the electromagnetic environment of World War II, so it should be more fine.
PHS has only more than 30 sets of base station equipment and more than 5,000 PHS. Program-controlled telephones are easy to find in modern times. Due to the different network standards, mobile phones cannot replace PHS, and may be able to modify the system, but Wang Yue will not.
