Zhu Shunming did not have particularly powerful internal affairs talents under him, and most of the managers in people's livelihood were scrivener and shopkeepers who were promoted from the front line.

This seemingly irresponsible management style has led to the vigorous vitality of the local people under Zhu Shunming's rule, and all walks of life have developed rapidly.

………………

"At the end of Chongzhen's sixth year, Zhou Yanru stepped down and returned to his hometown, and Wen Tiren became the first assistant ......"

"Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, broke the rogue in Qijiagou. The lake is wide and the flow is basically calm. Most of the rogues fled to Shaanxi......"

"This year, Baoqing Mansion has added 110,000 acres of farmland. The growth of early rice is gratifying......"

"Huayun Opera Society's latest opera "Peony Pavilion" is about to be staged......"

"The results of the Liuyang River Oiran Competition were announced, and Qiqi of Wanxiao Lou won the first ......"

Zhu Shunming looked at "Huayun Entertainment News" with interest, and put forward one or two small suggestions from time to time.

The "Huayun Entertainment News", which was inadvertently founded at the beginning, has become a well-known media in Huguang and Jiangnan.

Huayun Entertainment Newspaper is more humorous than the dry newspaper of the imperial court, more down-to-earth than the enthusiastic articles written by the scholars in Jiangnan, and closer to the life of the people of Xialiba than the spring and white snow of the scholars, and is loved by the majority of the people.

"Are there many businessmen who advertise in newspapers?" Zhu Shunming asked casually.

"That's a lot, that's a lot." She Miaohua was full of interest and introduced loudly: "The businessmen have tasted the sweetness of advertising, and they are all rushing to send us money......

"Who wrote this "Legend of the Green Peony"? Yes, the writing is spicy, to the point, and the scholar's color and appearance are vividly written, and it also exposes the shady curtain of the scientific examination, I am afraid that it will set off a wave among the scholars in Jiangnan. ”

"That'...... Master, why don't we serialize it......"

"Afraid of what? The scholars rebelled for ten years. Are you afraid that those scholars who only know empty talk will come to beat you? Zhu Shunming said disapprovingly: "What should I do?" ”

………………

Zhou Yanru fell and was expelled from Beijing, and those who followed Zhou Yanru were unlucky.

Someone pushed the tree down. As soon as Wen Tiren came to power, he wantonly eliminated Zhou Yanru's forces, and came to a big purge in the court, pulling out Zhou Yanru's forces in the court.

Not only that, Wen Tiren also continued to suppress and squeeze out the Jiangnan gentry behind Zhou Yanru.

"The Legend of the Green Peony" was written by Wen Tiren at the behest of his younger brothers Wen Yuren and Wu Bing. "The Legend of Green Peony" realistically describes the shady scenes of the Jiangnan scientific expedition and the face of the Jiangnan scholars who deceived the world and stole the world, which constituted a big blow to the restoration society behind Zhou Yanru who took the imperial examination as his own responsibility.

Founded in the second year of Chongzhen, the Fushe was headed by Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai and others from Taicang, including more than eighty or ninety percent of the literati in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the past few years, many members of the Restoration Society have been honored in the Tianzi Hall, which has further intensified the influence of the Restoration Society in the Jiangnan area.

Zhou Yanru is the teacher of Zhang Pu of the Restoration Society, so he is naturally regarded as a member of the Restoration Society. Wen Tiren squeezed out and attacked Zhou Yanru, and naturally he would not let go of the fledgling resumption of society.

………………

On the main square of Nanjing Confucius Temple, a tall stage was erected. An opera is being performed on the stage, surrounded by a crowd of people watching the excitement.

Zhu Shunming sat by the window on the fourth floor of the Fuman Building by the Qinhuai River, with a panoramic view of the lively Confucius Temple.

"Little Er, what kind of play are you singing on the other side?"

"Guest officer, this stage was only set up yesterday, and I heard that it is to sing a new song "Green Peony". That's a lot of money...... Singing in front of the Confucius Temple is not something you can do with money......"

Zhu Shunming nodded. It seems that this propaganda work is doing a good job.

The show is about to begin!

Although Zhu Shunming's strength is strong, his power has not yet spread to Nanjing, and he is not so capable for the time being.

But with Wen Tiren, it's different.

Wen Tiren employs people to see whether he has the ability and whether he can use it, and he doesn't care if there are any complaints.

Wen Tiren yin Zhu Shunming in the process of counterinsurgency in the southwest, but the result was that Zhu Shunming successfully quelled the rebellion, was promoted and made a fortune.

Now seeing that Zhu Shunming is gaining momentum, Wen Tiren also needs to expand his power in the army, so Wen Tiren extended an olive branch to Zhu Shunming.

The reason why "The Legend of Green Peony" was serialized in "Huayun Entertainment Daily" is not only because of the increasing influence of this newspaper, but also because of the good relationship with Zhu Shunming and the meaning of mending the previous cracks.

To deal with the Donglin Party, Wen Tiren is interested in the political interests contained in it; And Zhu Shunming is interested in the economic interests.

A very important reason for the rise of the Donglin Party is that the Donglin Party is rich.

The Donglin Party wantonly hoarded land, did business, mined, set up factories, and traded in the south of the Yangtze River...... Where it is easy to make money, there is the shadow of the Donglin Party.

Most crucially, the Donglin Party does not pay taxes. The Jiangnan gentry, landlords and merchants, represented by the Donglin Party, refused to pay either the land tax or the commercial tax, and opposed the payment of the mineral tax even more violently.

In this cultural atmosphere, local parents and officials are also proud of resisting taxes and not paying taxes, and are ashamed of paying taxes.

Rich, educated, and eye-opening, it is natural to seek political status.

It's easy to get things done with money. Not to mention the dominance of the Donglin Party during the Apocalypse, even in the hands of Chongzhenye, who is extremely disgusted with his friends, the Later Donglin Party, the Fushe, also occupied a place in the court, and even pushed their spokesperson Zhou Yanru to the position of first assistant.

Wen Tiren and Zhu Shunming had different goals, and the two tacitly cooperated to deal with the restoration of the Jiangnan Society.

………………

The background of "The Legend of Green Peony" is the Southern Song Dynasty, and the plot is also very simple, the story of a talented and beautiful woman who finally becomes a family.

However, the unlearned and unskilled disciples Liu Wuliu and Che Shangqi depicted in it are dressed like the dresses of the geniuses of the Ming Jiangnan, and their behavior is also the habit of the Ming scholars. However, the two of them are unlearned, vulgar, despicable, full of loftiness, and impassioned, which is very obvious to allude to the people of the Restoration Society.

The image of the high-minded scholars of the Restoration Society was subverted at once, and the general public was stunned at first, and then felt very happy. Even if they didn't know these scholars, the village women would echo a few words, "So that's ......"

China has always had a mentality of hating the rich, let alone the Ming Dynasty, where the gap between the rich and the poor was huge. Watch the bad guys be punished, the officials get arrested, the rich people are unlucky, the women are ugly, and the people who used to be high in the past are pulled down from the altar...... It's what the people like to see.

"A single copy of "The Legend of Green Peony", a single copy of "The Legend of Green Peony", a copy of ten copper plates......" The newsboy shouted happily. Business is so good! The newsboy estimated that he had earned an extra fifty wen tonight, and he could have a full meal.

………………

Hou Fangyu slammed the newspaper on the table and said angrily: "How can this be reasonable? Outrageous? Let's forget about the singing and choreography, but it's still painted like this? ”

Mao Bijiang took it and took a look. "Huayun Entertainment News? What is it. is so vulgar and unsightly, insulting to Sven and insulting to Sven. How can the important affairs of the court be known to the whole world? ”

Fang Yizhi took it, glanced at it, and said curiously: "What kind of painting is this?" With just a few strokes, he actually painted so vividly. Even a child woman can understand it. Nice, nice ......"

"Huayun Entertainment News" is becoming more and more famous in Jiangnan, especially among the lower classes. Their comics, yes, that's it, they're called comics, and they can understand it even if they can't read. Many Mengtong, who could not afford to buy books, used these comics to become literate. "Chen Zhenhui is the oldest of the four, and she is calm and atmospheric.

"If there is one, it will be changed, and if there is none, it will be encouraged." Chen Zhenhui continued: "The mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan. Besides, people sang operas and drew comics, but they didn't name and say that they were talented people of the Ming Dynasty, and they said that they were members of the Fushe Society. What can we do? Don't let them sing? Not allowed to buy or sell newspapers? ”

"Yes, it's just that they can't sing, they can't buy and sell." Hou Fangyu stood up and said excitedly: "With the power of our Fushe in Nanzhili, can we still allow the enemy to splash dirty water on our bodies?" ”

Seventeen-year-old Hou Fangyu had just failed to succeed in Li Xiangjun, and it was when he was angry.
