The young man gave his tongue to him, and soon explained what had happened as if he had experienced it himself. Please search (product @ book ¥ net to see the most complete!) The fastest update

Three months ago, Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping entered the palace together and asked for a newspaper. Wu Zetian attached great importance to it, and immediately convened important ministers of the imperial court in Tongtian Palace (Mingtang.

This includes five freshly baked prime ministers: Lou Shide, Su Wei, Li Qiao, Li Yuanxing, Sun Yuanheng, and several popular princes of the imperial court: Wu Sansi, King of Liang, Wu Chenghe, King of Wei, Wu Yizong, King of Hanoi, and Si Nong Shaoqing Lai Junchen, Neisheren Shangguan Wan'er.

As soon as he heard that the idea of "newspaper" was conceived by Cui Geng, Lai Junchen immediately expressed his opposition for three reasons.

First, didn't Sage Kong say it? The people may know it, but they cannot let it be used. The major affairs of the court are decided by the ministers, and they are left to the people to discuss what to do? I'm afraid this newspaper is the source of trouble.

Second, the newspaper has less circulation, which is similar to the Di newspaper, and it is of little use. There are many issuances, and its cost is an astronomical amount, and the imperial court has used troops against Tibet and Turks for many years, can it be supported?

Third, and most importantly, the people are stupid, who cares about any changes in the court situation. As for the poetry and songs, it is even more meaningless for those who are under the riba. Therefore, even if the newspaper is printed, I am afraid it will only be a waste of the court's money.

As soon as these three reasons came out, it really stumped the big guy. I had no choice but to summon Cui Geng, the initiator of this matter, and ask the right person in court.

Cui Gengdao: "Actually, the three doubts of Shaoqing are completely irrefutable. Let's talk about the first point first, could it be that if there is no newspaper, the people will not talk about national politics? Not necessarily. When Xu Jingye raised the army, why did hundreds of thousands of ordinary officials rebel? Didn't you listen to the instigation of some ill-intentioned people? ”

After a pause, Cui Geng deliberately accentuated his tone and continued: "If we don't occupy the position of public opinion, the enemy will occupy it. Don't be overlooked! ”

"If we don't occupy the position of public opinion, the enemy will occupy it?"

As soon as this famous sentence appeared after a thousand years, it moved Wu Zetian, who is extremely sensitive to politics. She patted a few cases lightly, and bowed her head slightly: "Cui's book is very true, it seems that this newspaper has to be done." ”

No matter how bold Lai Junchen was, he didn't dare to go against Her Majesty the Empress, so he had to say: "Although the newspaper is good, what if the court has no money?" Cui's book is a bit of a golden sage, I don't know how to teach me? ”

Of course, this problem is even more difficult for Cui Geng, who immediately proposed the concept of subscription plus advertising.

Needless to say, how to make people willing to spend money to subscribe to newspapers? The monks' sayings are a very good reference.

Folk tales, barnyard official histories, anecdotes, and even stories of talented and beautiful people will surely be of great interest to the people.

In the end, Cui Geng even put forward an idea, the monks' vulgar lectures are very popular, and the laymen can talk about newspapers!

The stories in this newspaper are all new, and those who have read a little book but have no fame can completely rely on reading the newspaper to the illiterate people in the teahouse restaurant in exchange for a day's chewing.

These people were originally the most unstable force in society, and through a small newspaper, they were linked to the imperial court, so why not?

After Wu Zetian listened to Cui Geng's theories, he was so happy that the walnut lines on his face cracked, and he exclaimed: "Before the age of thirty, I made Cui medicine, made sugar frosting, and leveled the locust plague, and now I have invented a newspaper, Cui Aiqing is really a minister given to me by God!" ”

As soon as Her Majesty's voice fell, Lai Junchen was anxious.

He secretly thought in his heart that when Cui Geng was a five-grade official, the official couldn't help him. If he really becomes some kind of "minister of the humerus", can I still have one? Hou Sizhi was killed by Li Zhaode's cane, but he can see it.

He rolled his eyes, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Cui Geng is a traitor, and he should immediately correct the law to set an example!" ”

"Huh? Why? ”

In the official newspaper released by the imperial court, there are not only fragrant stories, but also "advertisements" for businessmen. Your Majesty, please think, how will future generations think of my Great Zhou? Is it shameless or does it smell of copper? Cui Geng is going to exchange your reputation for money, it's really ill-intentioned! ”

This is indeed a problem, Wu Zetian is in his seventies today, and he has to consider both the immediate interests and the name behind him.

She looked at Cui Geng and said, "Cui Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Cui Geng said confidently: "If Weichen only says four words, Your Majesty will understand that Lai Shaoqing's worries are completely groundless." ”

"What four words?"

"Catch money and order history."

"Wonderful!"

Wu Zetian understood in an instant, when the Tang Dynasty was in financial difficulties when the country was founded, in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, His Majesty Li Er ordered the imperial court to issue usury.

There is a lot of money, but there are also a lot of opposition, among which Prime Minister Chu Suiliang is the leader, persuaded and said, Your Majesty is an example for all the people, how can you do such a thing that destroys people's character?

His Majesty Li Er is as good as a stream, and said, then I will stop in the future?

Chu Suiliang said, you have stopped, what should you do if the treasury has no money to give money to hundreds of officials? Weichen means that in this matter, we have to recruit some people with a bad reputation to do it, and our court will just wait to collect the money.

As a result, the royal black glove of the Tang Dynasty - the history of catching money, was born.

Wu Zetian said: "Cui Aiqing means that this newspaper will not be issued by the imperial court?" ”

Cui Geng shook his head and said: "The newspaper is not issued by the imperial court, first, it is not authoritative enough; Second, if such a sharp weapon is not controlled by the imperial court, I am afraid that Tai'a will hold it. Therefore, Weichen thought that he could run two newspapers, one of which was supervised by the Bureau of Writings, which was the "Great Zhou Royal Newspaper"; The other was operated by a concessionaire of the imperial court, and it was the "Shendu Times". Then, he used the money obtained from the "Shendu Times" to supplement the "Great Zhou Royal Newspaper". ”

……

……

When the strong man who claimed to be a general heard this, he shook his head and said, "Cui Geng is really famous, but it's actually difficult to deputy!" The two newspapers must have had a great influence on the "Shendu Times". He only pulled a "Great Zhou Royal Newspaper" for the work bureau, didn't he get sesame seeds and lose watermelon? ”

The young man was a big fan of Cui Geng, and said: "You are completely wrong to think so, in fact, this "Shendu Times" is also in the grasp of Cui's works. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Cui said that the "Shendu Times" could make money, and the dignitaries and nobles immediately flocked to it, and finally competed to each other, and it was the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce that took the lead. Do you know who the big director of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is? Cui's writings. What should I do with "Shendu Times", it's not a matter of his words? ”

The strong general was repeatedly refuted by the young man, and he felt deeply disgraced, and questioned: "I said child, you are a newspaper seller, how do you know so many things?" You made it all up, did you? ”

"How dare the little one lie to you?" As he spoke, the young man pulled out a newspaper from the innermost part of the newspaper bag behind his back and said, "Look at it, you can understand everything." ”

The strong man took it and looked at it, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.

It turned out that this was the first issue of the newspaper issued by the "Shendu Times", and it used a very large page to describe the process of this court dispute. What everyone said, what they moved, and even what they thought was vividly portrayed.

In the whole process, Wu Zetian was wise and martial, Shangguan Wan'er was calm and capable, the prime ministers were for the country and the people, several princes were loyal and patriotic, and the only clown was the Great Zhou Sinong Shaoqing Luoyang Linglai Junchen.

He is despicable, shameless, jealous, and a model of scum!

However...... "Shendu Times" is not a roundworm in Junchen's stomach, how do you know what he thinks? Don't ask, this is deliberately choreographed to come to Junchen!

……

……

After the young man left, a companion next to the strong man was puzzled: "Lai Junchen is unlucky, General Wang, shouldn't you be happy?" Why does it seem to be ...... now?"

That's right, this strong man is Wang Xiaojie, who is known as the God of War of the Great Zhou.

He said: "That's right, among the people who killed the Black Tooth General at the beginning, there was Lai Junchen, and he really wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin. But...... I'm afraid that when I went to Junchen, there was another villain who was even more despicable and shameless than him. ”

"You mean...... Author Lang Cui Geng? ”

Wang Xiaojie said: "Yes, it's him!" Now the two newspapers of Da Zhou are in the hands of Cui Geng. Today he can use this trick to deal with the Junchen, and in the coming day he may not be able to use this trick to deal with the loyal and upright people in the court, and the general is deeply worried. ”

The companion scratched his head and said, "No, I heard that Cui Geng's reputation is very good, and he is known as Cui Qingtianli." ”

"Cui Qingtian?" Wang Xiaojie snorted lightly and said: "Mastering these two newspapers is almost equivalent to mastering the world's public opinion. With such authority, it is difficult to say whether he can still stick to his heart. ”

……

……

The court is full of human spirits, Wang Xiaojie can see Cui Geng's weight now, and others can naturally see it. These days, Cui Gengzhen can be described as hot, and invitations to invite him to the banquet have come one after another.

On this day, Cui Geng got another invitation, which was extremely humble and sincere, inviting him to be sure to go to the banquet tonight, and never shirk. The inscription is: Zuo Yulin General Su Honghui.

Su Honghui? I don't know!

Cui Geng secretly thought, no matter how awesome I am, I don't deserve to be so stammered by General Sanpin, right? I'm afraid this banquet is very strange!
