Chapter 69 Running a Real Newspaper
When I got home, it was four or five o'clock in the afternoon, in front of the gate of the house, there was a carriage parked, and a turtle slave from Yanchunlou was guarding in front of the car. Lin Yi, www.biquge.info pen "Fun" pavilion, strode into the door, and was just when Liu Xinyi walked out of the room. Liu Xinyi looked at him and said, "Hey! Fortune teller, you're wrong! We are a newspaper, not a place for you to do fortune telling! ”
Lin Yi walked up to her and smiled, "Sister Liu, you can't even recognize me?" As he spoke, he took off the beard that was sticking to his chin and his hat.
Liu Xinyi blinked, recognized his appearance, and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, it turned out to be you?" How did you become like this? ”
Lin Yi shook his head and said, "Hey! It's hard to put into words! I'll talk to you later! With that, he walked to his office, changed his clothes, washed his face, restored his original appearance, and sat down behind his desk.
Liu Xinyi also followed, sat down in the chair next to him, Lin Yi asked her about some newspaper business, and saw that her father and daughter handled it properly, and she was very satisfied.
Lin Yi smiled: "Sister Liu, I met a great nobleman today, and I asked him for a word?" ”
"What a nobleman!" Liu Xinyi asked with a smile.
Lin Yi pretended to mysteriously take out the words written by Wang Bo from his arms, put it on the desk, and unfolded it for Liu Xinyi to see.
Liu Xinyi frowned slightly, and recited softly: "Bianjing Daily, Wang Bo? Then he made a gesture of ecstasy and said excitedly: "Brother Lin, the great nobleman you are talking about, is it ...... Is it Wang Bo, the prime minister of the dynasty? ”
Lin Yi leaned back on the chair comfortably and said with a smile: "Who else can there be besides him?" ”
Liu Xinyi said happily: "With his support, can we add some news and current affairs to the newspaper?" ”
Lin Yi smiled and nodded. Liu Xinyi shouted happily: "I'll tell my father the good news right away." As he spoke, he ran outside like a gust of wind to find Liu Wuchang.
After a while, Liu Wubian broke into the house with an excited face, and said with a smile: "Lin Yi, can we write news and current affairs in our newspaper?" ”
Lin Yi smiled: "It's okay at the moment!" But what more words do I have to tell you? ”
"Tell me!" Liu Wubian said anxiously.
Lin Yi pondered and said: "The first article is that the newspaper is only allowed to report good news, not bad news, to be harmonious between the government and the people, Your Majesty is wise, and the situation in the country is very good!" The Gentiles are barbarian lands, and the lives of the people are miserable! ”
Liu Wuchang's face slowly became gloomy, and he asked, "Lin Yi, why is this?" ”
Lin Yi explained with a smile: "Now that the situation in the imperial court, there are Khitan peeps outside, and Maitreya disciples inside are plotting to rebel, and you have reported bad news, doesn't it lead to people's hearts and bury the root cause of chaos for the country?" ”
"Where...... You can't just report good news! There is a big flood here, where there is a big fire, and it is still a good thing in this world? Liu Wubian retorted.
Lin Yi said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, you are very right, so when our newspaper has to report some bad news, you must also be tactful, and write the bad news as the emperor is worried about the country and the people, and the military and the people are working together to tide over the difficulties. ”
Liu Wubian swallowed a mouthful of saliva, gasped for breath, and asked, "What about the second one?" ”
Lin Yi said with a smile: "The second article is to print the inscription of Boss Wang on our newspaper and distribute it, and tell the people and officials in the capital that we have Boss Wang's cover, don't come to us for ideas." In addition, you will have to go to the palace of Lord Wang often in the future, listen to his teachings, and ensure that the ideological position of this newspaper is consistent with that of His Majesty and Lord Wang today. ”
"That'...... So I'm not going to be their mouthpiece? Liu Wubian said dissatisfied.
Lin Yi said with a smile: "If you disobey the emperor, this newspaper will be blocked for him immediately, won't this cut off a way to give advice to the emperor?" However, if you are the specific person in charge of this newspaper, you can mix some factors of your personal preferences in it, so as to make suggestions to the emperor, reflect the public opinion and the people's feelings, and supervise the effect of hundreds of officials! ”
Liu Wubian nodded and praised: "Oh! It turns out that you are a straight one, but you have a cunning idea. ”
Liu Xinyi smiled: "My brother Lin has always been very cunning, different from those nerds who only know how to read dead books!" Brother Lin! Is there a third one? ”
Lin Yi smiled: "Yes! The third rule is to make sure that the newspaper makes money, and we should set aside some pages to publish some business advertisements on it to earn some advertising money. And to publish some biographies, stories and poems on it to spice up the newspaper? The news of the Oiran ladies will be greatly reduced from tomorrow, and as soon as the Oiran Contest is over, it will not be reported again! ”
Seeing Liu Wubian and Liu Xinyi staring at him, the meaning was clearly to say, didn't we mainly report on the affair of the Oiran lady before? Now you don't report at all? Will this work? Lin Yi explained with a smile: "Reporting news and current affairs and reflecting public sentiment and public opinion is the purpose of this Bianjing Daily? Nowadays, our newspaper circulation is large enough, and there is no need to rely on the romantic stories of the Oiran girls to attract attention, and the people are more interested in news and current affairs. ”
Liu Wu changed his joy, his dream was about to come true, and he asked, "That...... So what do we do now? ”
Lin Yi said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, we will publish news and current affairs tomorrow, let's start with a simple one, such as the appointment and dismissal of civil and military officials in the imperial court, and the decrees in various yamen, should you start collecting them?" If we don't do it again, we can only postpone it to the day after tomorrow to revise it! ”
Liu Wubian patted his head, as if he suddenly realized, and laughed: "Look at my head, I can't even understand this little thing, now I'll hurry up and arrange it!" With that, he rushed to the editorial office next door to arrange work.
"I've got to get ready to go, too!" Liu Xinyi glanced at Lin Yi with appreciative eyes, smiled softly at him, and turned around and walked out gracefully.
"The first real newspaper of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be officially born tomorrow!" Lin Yi sat in the chair and shouted with some excitement in his heart.
Today, Lin Yi was busy all day, tired and thirsty, so he poured a cup of tea, ready to take a sip to quench his thirst, and before he could pick up the cup, he saw Xinyuelan pick up the door curtain and lead Chunyu to walk in from outside.
"Husband...... Madam! You're here, ...... You may be seated! Lin Yi hurriedly got up from his seat, with a bright smile on his face, and gave up his seat to Xinyuelan to sit.
Xinyuelan was also not polite, she came and sat in the chair with a big golden knife, made a cold face, and said coldly: "Lin Yi, you are really such a big shelf?" With such a big temper, I can't even please you in the spring rain? You dare not obey my orders and run outside without permission, and you say, why didn't you come back last night? Caused me to bear my heart all night? ”
Uh-huh! Madame really rebuked! It's still the old way, denying it to the end. Lin Yi said with a smile: "Madam, in fact, I happened to meet the Prime Minister Wang Bowang in Yanchun Tower, and he admired my talent very much, so he had to take me to his mansion to sit as a guest." In order to pull the relationship, find a broader development space for our newspaper, and also for our Bianjing Daily to find a big backer and not be bullied by bad people, I had to sacrifice my life to compensate the gentleman and go to his house to sit, but I didn't expect to talk very speculatively, if I didn't pay attention, it would be dark, and Lord Wang left me to spend the night in his house, so I had to agree! ”
Seeing that he was serious, and Wang Bo's inscription was proof, Xinyuelan believed it in her heart, patted her chest and said, "It's good that you didn't spend the night in Yanchun Tower!" I've figured it out now, where there are too many fox spirits, I'm afraid that if you go to the last two times, you won't be happy, and you don't want to come back, and when the time comes, you will be deceived by them and lose both money and money, wouldn't it be troublesome? You swear to me that you will not be allowed to go anywhere again for whatever reason? ”
Hehe! We are not allowed to go to Yanchun Building, can we go to other Qinglou? This oath is not easy? Lin Yi immediately raised two fingers and swore solemnly: "I, Lin Yi, swear in front of my wife that I will never go to Yanchun Tower in the future?" If you violate this, you will call me thunder! Come to a sticky end! ”
Seeing that he swore seriously, Xinyuelan was very happy in her heart, and said, "It's good that you have this determination! He turned his head and instructed Chunyu to say, "Chunyu, you go and call which turtle slave from Yanchun Building outside in, and ask the master to send him down." ”
Chunyu turned around and went out, and after a while, he led a turtle slave in. Lin Yi thought about it, took the four treasures of the study, and wrote on the paper the famous work of Li Zhiyi, a famous lyricist in the Northern Song Dynasty? I live in the next piece of the Yangtze River: When will this water stop, when will this hatred be. I only hope that your heart will be like my heart, and I will live up to my love. After writing, when the paper was dry, he put it in an envelope, and said to the turtle slave: "You go back and tell you that Zhao Yuanwai and Xue Mei, the proprietors of Yanchunlou, have already thought about the next piece of my poem, and it is in this letter, and I will not go to Yanchunlou in the future!" ”
The turtle slave stretched out his hand and took it, and said with a smile on his face: "Little official Xie Lin, I'll go back and inform our owner and Miss Xuemei!" With that, he happily took the letter and left.
"Madam, do you think my position is still firm?" Lin Yi looked at Xinyuelan and smiled.
Xinyuelan pursed her lips and said, "It's me today, and you're talking like this, just afraid that I'm not here?" You're talking differently! In the future, other green buildings are not allowed to go! ”
Worst! In the end, Mrs. found out the loophole, and we won't be able to enjoy the gentle blessings in the future! Lin Yi's eyes widened, and he glanced at each other with Xin Yuelan's eyes that were not allowed to be objected to, lowered his head, and agreed with a sad face: "Yes!" Madam! ”
In the next seven or eight days, Lin Yi devoted himself to running his Bianjing Daily, from the writing skills of news articles, to the selection and reporting of news events, and the recruitment and publication of business advertisements, he asked them one by one, groped for them to solve them with his heart, and finally put the Bianjing Daily on the right track.
During this period of time, a major event occurred in the capital, on a stone statue of Maitreya in the Great Xiangguo Temple, there was a word written with "Maitreya cult, disaster to the country and the people, if you insist on going your own way, you will be punished by heaven", and the situation is exactly the same as the miracle of the stone statue with the words "Maitreya Yongchang, Pudu sentient beings". And since this new miracle has appeared, the original miracle has disappeared. In this regard, Lin Yi sent Liu Xinyi as a beautiful reporter to follow up and report on this miracle event, and wrote three long interviews, emphasizing that the Great Zhou Dynasty is in full swing, far better than the Maitreya cult, and the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely continue to prosper.
