Chapter 181: Li Wenjin's Worries
"Of course, I am very optimistic, the child is still thinking about getting involved with Niangniang, I entered the palace today for this matter, who knew that I was running into Wang Guiren, no, Concubine Ning was pregnant, so I didn't bother to mention it to Niangniang."
"I don't need to mention this matter to Niangniang for the time being, she is the queen mother of the world, and mixing this matter has an impact on her reputation, managing the treasure and shop for her father, since you are optimistic, you will first take out 200,000 taels of silver from it to test the water, in addition, listen to your mother, you and Zhang Rang's family have recently joined forces to engage in a silver number, this is a money-making business, you can't let outsiders dominate, give you 500,000 taels for your father first, if it's not enough, let's find a way to ......"
Baohedian is the royal business, the business scope is very wide, equivalent to the royal self-financing of a small treasury, previously managed by the celebrant supervisor, after Zhang Juzheng came to power, it was handed over to the Empress Dowager Li, the Empress Dowager Li could not come forward in person, this person in charge, naturally choose the closest Li Wenjin.
"Father-in-law......"
"Okay, what is the father is yours, you can toss hard, even if you lose it all, it's a big deal to start all over again. Having said that, for my father to believe in your vision, your kid is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, and many things that seem impossible are actually your kid already has a score, right? ”
Zhang You subconsciously reached out and touched his nose, and said with a smile: "It turns out that in the heart of the stepfather, the child is so powerful?" Cheng, since you believe in the child so much, if the child doesn't make some achievements, I really can't stand you, don't worry, I will not let our money go down the drain. ”
Li Wenjin bowed his forehead, not wanting to talk about this topic anymore, and said instead: "By the way, listening to the emperor's nagging, you are going to build a printing organization and want to print newspapers...... Doesn't the imperial court have a mansion report? Besides, the printing of the Di Bao is in the hands of the General Administration Department and the Six Branches, and the scholars dare to scold even the emperor and grab jobs with them, you have to be prepared to be drowned by the spitting stars first. ”
Di Bao was first seen in the Han Dynasty, also known as Gongmen copy, equivalent to the earliest form of news release, most of the records are the emperor's edicts, the promotion and dismissal of officials, etc., developed to the Song Dynasty, has become a tool for rulers to control public opinion, resulting in a "final" system similar to the later news approval.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were also private newspaper offices among the people, and the contents of the newspapers published were basically copied from the Di newspaper to sell for profit, and this kind of newspaper was also called the Chao Bao.
Later generations commented that the Ming Dynasty's Di Bao was somewhat relaxed, and researchers pointed out that the Ming Dynasty's Di Bao often published some quite bold political remarks, and even pointed the spearhead of criticism directly at the emperor and powerful ministers. The emergence of this phenomenon is by no means the will of the ruling class, but a derivative of the rising power of literati and doctors and the huge impact on the imperial power.
This is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Youyi mentioned running a newspaper, and Zhu Yijun immediately strongly supported it, in the final analysis, today's Wanli Di banknotes are not in his own hands, but in the hands of those literati who are working with him everywhere.
Of course, on the surface, Zhang You founded the newspaper for Zhu Yijun's sake, but in fact, the deep purpose is still for his own lofty ideals. If he wants to realize his ideals, a change of perception is indispensable, and if he wants to change the people's attitude, the newspaper is an indispensable tool.
He is not ready to tell Li Wenjin all this, it is not distrust, it is purely the limitation of the times, if his soul does not come from later generations, it is impossible to imagine the huge energy that can be generated by the media in later generations.
"The children that the father-in-law said know all about it, and they have long been mentally prepared. All these things that the child has now are given by His Majesty, as a courtier, he has to find a way to share his worries for His Majesty, and the scolding is as good as they scold, anyway, it is not painful, as long as the emperor trusts the child, they will not be able to make much trouble. He said casually, and said with a smile:
"Again, they don't allow Your Majesty to be lazy and neglect state affairs, but they marry an aunt's wife today and pick up a pretty girl tomorrow, but they drink and sing songs all night long, it doesn't make sense. One by one, they all pretend to be sanctimonious, and the flickering common people all regard them as saints, and the children just can't get used to it, so they have to expose all their old bottoms! ”
"Our family knows that you don't have any good intentions, and sure enough, you are still expected by our family." Li Wenjin said with a wry smile, then sighed, and said: "You are assertive, since it is for the emperor, our family will not stop you, I will advise you, don't underestimate those literati, they don't use knives to kill people, they are really anxious, in case of a big trouble, I'm afraid that even the emperor can't protect you, Jiajing Ye is so strong, hasn't he also fought with those people for decades!" ”
Li Wenjin is talking about the great ceremonial dispute, because the Zhengde Emperor has no queen, the Jiajing Emperor is the emperor inherited as a vassal king, called the emperor, and wants to crown his biological father Xingxian Wang as the emperor, the result of which attracted the strong opposition of the literati and doctors headed by Yang Tinghe, the first assistant at the time, this battle lasted for a long time, and there were countless officials who were dismissed from the cane, and it was not until more than ten years later that Sejong won the victory with difficulty.
Zhang Youjing studied the history of the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally knew this incident very well, and thought secretly when he heard the words: "The wind knows the grass, and the bandang sees the capable ministers, anyway, the contradiction between the imperial power and the minister's power has already reached an irreconcilable level, so I simply picked it up early, and maybe I can pick out some good talents who really serve the country and the people." ”
History is written by the victors, and to be honest, he really doesn't trust the famous generals in the historical books.
On the surface, he promised that he would pay attention, but on the ground, he had secretly made up his mind that on the first day of the newspaper's publication, he must plant a huge amount of explosives, even if it could not shock the hypocrites, and strive to shock them to the ground.
Li Wenjin didn't know what idea Zhang You had in his mind, so he said a few more words, saw that the sky was already dark, dragged Zhang You back to the house, and first took 500,000 taels of silver tickets to him, and then drove him out of the small courtyard and went to rest without mentioning it.
If you want to create the kind of real newspaper in the future, you naturally can't do without news materials, coming out of Li Wenjin, Zhang You pondered all the way, and suddenly thought of those pervasive Jinyiwei and Dongchang's fans, and became happy, pondered a little, and simply left the Li Mansion, came to the door of the Feng Mansion, and stepped forward to pull the heavy knocker.
The reason why I came to see Feng Bao was to seek his support because of his identity as the factory director of Dongchang, and secondly, I had cut Zhang Dashou's prestige today, and I should come over to communicate with him, the master.
Then again, in fact, Zhang You also knew that Feng Bao had been waiting for him to ask to see him, and until now, he felt that the time should be almost over.
It was almost the end of the hour, and after waiting for a while, there was movement in the door, and the sound of pulling shoes came from far and near, and after a while, an impatient voice came: "Who?" It's so late, and you can't let people rest? ”
At the same time, the fierce sound of horses' hooves approached rapidly from the direction of Donghua Gate, as fast as the wind, and soon rushed into the inner east factory not far away, Zhang You looked back, only to find that the lights in the inner east factory were bright, and he couldn't help but be surprised, there would be nothing wrong, right?
