In Song Jing's Bianliang City, the elegant seat of Meixianglou is already full of people at the moment, looking at the dress of these people, the standard scholar's clothes, and various accessories hanging around their waists, they know at a glance that they are some scholars. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In front of these scholars, there was a high platform, on which an old man with a gray beard sat and dragged a newspaper in his hand, looking at it from a distance, reading and reading as he went, and the words on it were read down from the newspaper.
“... The new main road of Cangzhou, from the sixty taels of iron cars, fought in the Liao State Tielin Army, the two armies were short blades together, once contacted, the Liao State Tielin Army was immediately defeated, 30,000 troops scattered and fled, and then more than 10,000 people were annihilated by the New Song Dynasty, and thousands of horses were captured..."Thinking of this, the old man on the stage suddenly frowned.
I saw him wave his hand and said: "It's just nonsense, no wonder the government wants to confiscate this kind of newspaper, the old man remembers that the last issue of the "New Song Daily" said that His Majesty the Emperor of the Dynasty sought power and usurped power, killed people and seized power, and the people of the world actually believed it, but the old man read this second issue of the newspaper, every word is false, there is no reason at all, it is simply a bunch of nonsense! ”
As soon as the old man's words were finished, the people listening to the book below suddenly exploded, and it seemed that several students in the costumes of the Guozijian were particularly indignant, if it wasn't for someone to stop them, they would almost have to go on stage to beat the old man.
"Old man, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, and your words have no basis, how can you say that all the words in the newspaper are lies?"
Under the stage, among the group of troublesome Guozijian students, one of them took the lead and stood up, and he was a little rational, but judging from his tone, he also had a little warmth.
"Hmph~" The old man is highly respected, but he looks down on these students who have not yet entered the WTO, and only listens to him talking: "Cangzhou is my border city of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Liao people have always liked to plunder Cangzhou every year, not to mention the prosperity of commerce, it is a huge city, which is extremely untrustworthy, not to mention what is said later." ”
After the old man finished speaking, he also took a sip of the teapot on the table with great confidence, according to his years of knowledge, no matter what he said, he could make these yellow-mouthed children obedient.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the ignorant children below really stopped talking one by one, and the old man felt that he was well-informed.
But the silent students were silent for a moment, and soon burst into a mocking laugh.
"Brother Sang, I heard that there is a toad in the well sitting in the well and watching the sky on Han Huizhi's "Original Road", and when I saw it today, it really deserves its name, hahaha~"
This laughter caused the surrounding scholars to laugh, and everyone laughed out loud.
At this time, the old man on the stage had a blue face and a white face, he couldn't figure it out, what he said was very reasonable, but these scholars ridiculed him as a toad who only sat in the well and watched the sky, this kind of anger, he hadn't received it for many years.
"Humph! Ignorant children, can't argue with the old man, so he makes up nonsense here, the old man has been telling stories for many years, how can his knowledge be comparable to those of you? ! The old storyteller replied with a grim face.
"Ha" Sang Guozhong looked at the old man playfully, "I don't know if Mr. has ever been to Cangzhou?" ”
"Although I haven't been there, the old man has heard..."
Before the old man could finish speaking, Sang Guozhong interrupted him rudely.
"Since Mr. has never been to Cangzhou, don't rely on your guess to evaluate Cangzhou at this time, because sometimes, it really looks like a toad sitting in a well and watching the sky." Sang Guozhong said that, turned around and threw a dozen copper coins on the table, and then followed his companions and left the teahouse with a smile.
"You, you, you! The old man who told the story pointed to the back of Sang Guozhong and the others leaving, the muscles on his face trembled unconsciously, he said that he had been reading for more than ten years, and he thought he was well-informed, but he actually let a bunch of young children laugh at him, this time he was really disgraced.....
.......
Sang Guozhong liked the atmosphere very much.
On both sides of the street, everyone is talking about the New Great Song Daily, and the businessmen are confirming the current commercial prosperity of Cangzhou, and even the second issue of the "New Song Daily" in Guozijian has sparked a huge discussion.
Sang Guozhong admired Jiang Yin very much, not only for his admiration for creating a new city, but also for the entire Great Song Dynasty where he used means he didn't know about to spread the newspaper.
The first issue of the previous "New Song Daily" has been almost confiscated by the government, and Zhao Guangyi, who was furious, issued a death order, as long as it is the first issue of the "New Song Daily", as long as it is found that those who are hiding without permission will be sent to prison.
For this reason, the prisons of Kaifeng Mansion have been full of people, but the mouth of the defense of people is worse than the defense of Sichuan, when the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion found that the more people were arrested like this, the more the people discussed, he hurriedly reacted to the Prime Minister Zhao Pu, and Zhao Pu also spread the words to Zhao Guangyi's ears.
In the end, Zhao Guangyi still didn't dare to be a tyrant like Li Wang Jihu, so he announced that the person who hid the newspaper was not guilty of the past, but announced that everything in the newspaper was deception, and the people could not believe it if they encountered such a newspaper.
However, even with the introduction of such a policy full of loopholes, it was still recognized by a large number of people, and many people also agreed that the newspaper was talking nonsense and spreading rumors to slander His Majesty the Emperor.
Half a month later, the impact and turmoil caused by this incident gradually subsided.
Early this morning, however, the entire city of Bianjing was stirred up by a new event -- the second issue of the "New Song Daily" appeared.
Like the first issue, the "New Song Daily" that appeared this time was still scattered on the ground, and people who came out early in the morning were free to pick up these newspapers to read, and this time the newspaper was more readable.
Compared with Jiang Yin, a modern person, it is obvious that Sang Guozhong and others' ideas for writing articles are more in line with the thinking of the Song people, and this time they did not express a tough political stance like Jiang Yin did in the first issue of the "New Song Daily", but euphemistically and elegantly introduced the changes in Cangzhou and its surroundings.
In this way, the government did not issue a ban on newspapers at the first time, because this kind of newspaper ban scattered everywhere could not be stopped, and the government turned a blind eye to this.
However, this is great news for the authors of the second issue of the "New Song Daily", Sang Guozhong walked on the street, continued to enjoy the people around him, talking about the articles he wrote......
