Chapter 222: The official worships Hanlin
When Zhu Youxiao heard Wei Zhongxian mention that the chief writer of Daming Daily was Zhang Dai, and he had recently resigned angrily, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
For Zhang Dai, a literary giant, Zhu Youxiao naturally knows, you must know that he was also fascinated by the article "Watching the Snow in the Lake Pavilion" back then.
However, according to Zhu Youxiao's knowledge, although this Zhang Dai lived a prosperous life in his early years, because he repeatedly failed in the township test and was not good at making a living, he finally ended up barren and destitute, and he had to pick up dung and farm the land by himself after he died in the Ming Dynasty and returned to the mountains.
But now this named Zhang Dai is the chief writer of Daming Daily who has just left, according to Zhu Youxiao, I am afraid that it is just because he can make a living from this, because Zhu Youxiao once replied in Wei Zhongxian's recital, and the treatment of the chief writer of Daming Daily should not be lower than the treatment of Hu Zongxian when he asked Xu Wei to be a staff member.
"Where is this person now, let him come to see me", Zhu Youxiao said this, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help laughing and said: "This person is still in the museum, he has nowhere to go, and the ministers are not easy to get rid of him, but this person just refuses to write, so that these days can only produce a few issues of only news and nothing to talk about." ”
As he spoke, Wei Zhongxian ordered his little servant to invite Zhang Dai to come.
Not long after, Zhu Youxiao saw a middle-aged man wearing a square scarf, wearing a half-new and old student uniform, but also with an extremely sloppy beard, and bowed lazily to Zhu Youxiao: "Student Zhang Dai has seen Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Youxiao was stunned, in his opinion, since the author who can write such a smart and elegant essay as "Watching the Snow in the Lake Pavilion" should be the same as some modern literary and artistic young people, although the personality is very different, but it is not so embarrassing, but the person in front of him is difficult to remind people that this is the young master who used to be a good house, a good woman, a good girl, a good fresh clothes, and a good food.
"Get up, Zhang Dai, listen to Wei Zhongxian, you resigned as the chief writer of Daming Daily, but why are you still staying here?"
After Zhu Youxiao asked, he looked at this late Ming literary giant with some urgency.
Zhang Dai was not restrained because he was in front of His Majesty today, and replied very directly: "Because the students are shy in their pockets, most of the money has been spent, as long as the Duke of Wei does not pick up, the students do not want to leave, anyway, our Father-in-law Wei is also a well-known living Bodhisattva in Nan0 Beijing, and he loves to help down-and-out scholars, in this case, the students also have to rely on Father-in-law Wei to help." ”
Indeed, as Zhang Dai said, now that Wei Zhongxian has a reputation and has suddenly raised his moral status, he can't get off the stage, and he is embarrassed to get rid of Zhang Dai again.
Seeing that he was so helpless, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing, and asked: "I heard Wei Zhongxian say, the reason why you resigned as the chief writer was because you refused to write advertising words for Luo's grain store?" ”
With the emergence of various new things, Daming has also produced a variety of new words, such as advertising and advertising words, which were born because of the emergence of Daming Daily, and have been widely known throughout the country, especially in Jiangnan and other places, so Wei Zhongxian also mentioned the word "advertisement" above.
"Father-in-law Wei lost his money, but the student was unwilling to write any advertising words for such a profiteer who started by cheating, and he wanted to impress me with the high price of one word or two, no way, the student would rather starve to death!"
When Zhang Dai said this, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, but he really couldn't do anything to Zhang Dai, this kind of arrogant talent, sometimes he couldn't get angry with them.
"I just read your comments on Fengyang's levy of commercial taxes, and there are a lot of positive points in it, and it can be seen that you also advocate the common progress of agriculture and business, and now Daming Daily is not only for Chang to educate and promote people's wisdom, but also to promote commerce, and in this way, Daming Daily can be even stronger, you don't even understand this?"
After Zhu Youxiao said this, he got up and walked in front of Zhang Dai, and threw a newspaper he had bought before in front of Zhang Dai.
Zhang Dai couldn't help but give his hand and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, this Luo Linghong, the owner of Luo's grain store, lived in Qiqi's house by hoarding back then, and he was in a bad township, and the students would rather write advertising words for Zheng Humpback, who was responsible for selling cow dung, than write it for him. ”
"It's a bit arrogant, Zhang Dai, I would like to ask you, if I let you be the chief writer of Daming Daily, and be responsible for the editor-in-chief of Daming Daily, and those advertisements will be published in the future It will also be decided by you and Wei Zhongxian, are you willing to continue to be the chief writer of Daming Daily?"
Zhang Dai didn't expect that His Majesty would suddenly want to seal his own official today, and he is also a Hanlin official, with the official title of the Wupin Rite Department, and he also let himself and Wei Zhongxian jointly decide the advertising standards in the future, and he couldn't help but be greatly moved, and hurriedly said: "Students obey the order, thank Your Majesty for your grace." ”
Zhu Youxiao nodded, and at the same time decided to officially announce that the "Daming Daily" would be separated from the direct jurisdiction of the Nan0 Beijing Town Shoufu, and that Zhu Youxiao would be directly responsible, that is, it would be directly independent and become the same yamen as Taifu Temple and Taichang Temple, but the current person in charge is still Wei Zhongxian, and the person in charge of daily affairs is the chief writer Zhang Dai.
In addition, the Beijing Express, which was managed by the Ministry of Rites, was also independent, and the grade was determined, which was later used as a propaganda tool for Zhu Youxiao in the north.
When Zhu Youxiao confirmed the status of the two state-owned newspapers, the latest situation of the battle between the Tatars and Wu Xiangbu also came from outside Shanhaiguan.
During this time, because the Ming Dynasty refused to rescue Wu Xiangbu in accordance with Zhu Youxiao's order and closed the Shanhaiguan Pass, Wu Xiangbu had to fight to the death with the Manchu Tartars, but perhaps it was because of the lack of Daming's help and the fact that this was their last place of survival, Wu Xiangbu actually withstood the Tartars' attacks on Jinzhou several times.
And the Manchu Emperor Huang Taiji could not continue to fight, so he had to retreat, and the two sides were still restored to their previous state after their defeats, but, perhaps because the Ming did not rescue Wu Xiangbu or also to survive, Wu Xiangbu now also tore his face and began to plunder the Ming border.
"Kill more than 30 of my people, is this Wu Xiangbu really afraid that my Ming Dynasty will not dare to do anything to him, a chaotic minister and thief!"
Zhu Youxiao slapped the table angrily, but sighed helplessly, now the new firearms of the Ordnance Department have just been produced, and the new army training of the Praetorian Guard has not yet been completely completed, and he has no way to wage war against Wu Xiangbu and other forces now, but this does not mean that Zhu Youxiao has no choice.
After he calmed down for a while, he called Li Mingrui over: "Draft, order Mao Wenlong's department to carry out revenge against Wu Xiang's department, the task is random, but I must give me a satisfactory answer after a month." ”
As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, Wang Chengen couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, in this way, will you force Wu Xiangbu to rebel, so that they will really start a war with my Ming Dynasty." ”
"Hmph, I wish he would go to war, he has just gone through a big war now, his morale is not high, and there is a Manchu tiger behind him, he Wu Xiangbu is dead, dare to go against my Daming!"
Zhu Youxiao said very firmly.
