"Father Mingjian, since ancient times, the people's hearts have changed the most, there is no other, follow the trend, if you let a group of boring literati toss, then things will be decadent, therefore, you can not tolerate Tian Bingyi and a person who has nothing to do to confuse right and wrong, this article is not difficult, there is a father and the king, please some article masters are just ordinary things, however, in the eyes of the child, to refute the other party, but it is not easy, the most likely result is a fierce debate, as for the provincial officialdom, the eighth uncle obviously wants to have some advantages, but it is not necessarily able to overwhelm us, If this is the case, it is still uncertain whether the "Kyoto Treaty" will pass the court-to-court negotiation level, and we will have to find another way to ensure that it is safe. ”

The third master asked, Hongqing didn't dare to slack off, quickly organized the language, and analyzed the evolution trend of the situation in detail.

"Well, the reason is such a reason, the debate is fierce, the situation will be chaotic, this is not the situation that the emperor Ama is happy to see, in this way, the emperor Ama is really likely to deal with the "Kyoto Treaty" after suppression, Qing'er can think through the trick, I think there must be a way to deal with it, and it will come out, Ama listen."

The third master frowned and thought about it, and also felt that Hongqing's analysis was not wrong, if the fierce confrontation continued, although his side would not necessarily lose, but it would be difficult to win, at the end, the old man would play a balanced way and put the matter on hold indefinitely, and this, for Hongqing, is not a loss is also a loss, no side, can not be made from the "Kyoto Treaty" to make money, the Ministry of Industry's various start-up plans will have no possibility, in this way, the fourth master, the eighth master and the gang will inevitably fall into the ground, forced Hongqing to leave the Ministry of Industry, obviously, this result is not what the third master is happy to see, but when it comes to countermeasures, the third master is blind, helpless, and can only throw the problem to Hongqing again.

"Father Wang Mingjian, the child has a strategy to deal with this situation, it is simple, isn't it just a debate, then it is not inappropriate to compete for a superiority, just see it in a short time, this matter should be finalized, the child came up with a thing, or can add a new weapon to the Ministry of Rites, this thing is called: newspaper!"

From the later generations of the information explosion, Hongqing will not understand how powerful the newspaper is, this thing is simply the only tool for brainwashing, used for propaganda, absolutely unmatched, although the people who are literate and hyphenated in this era still only account for a minority of the population, but it is these elites who dominate the public opinion orientation of the entire Qing Dynasty, if you can brainwash these elites with newspapers, it is definitely a good thing for the rule of the upper institutions, Hongqing has long wanted to put the newspaper on the stage of the Qing Dynasty, It's just that he hasn't been able to get it, and now, the opportunity has finally come out, and Hongqing doesn't want to let it go.

"Newspapers? What is this? ”

As soon as he heard such a new term, the third master couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Hongqing suspiciously, and asked with a slight frown.

"Back to my father's words, the so-called newspaper is actually a variant of the Di newspaper, the difference is that the Di newspaper is for officials to read, and the newspaper is for the public of the world, but all court news or lace news, jokes, etc. can be published on it, which can not only educate the people, but also take into account entertainment, or even benefit businesses, which is really a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone."

Seeing the confused look on the third master's face, Hongqing didn't dare to delay much, and hurriedly explained the function of the newspaper in detail.

"Oh? Is this really that magical? ”

Hongqing said it impassionedly, but the third master was still at a loss, there was no side, and his knowledge was limited - Di Bao, the third master understood, and he didn't read it less on weekdays, but if he wanted to say that he paid attention to it, he didn't necessarily have to, because the third master was in the center, and the news was already very well-informed, so he didn't need to understand the dynamics of the court from the Di newspaper.

"Back to the words of the father, it is true, if you don't believe it, when the newspaper comes out, you can know the clues, so to speak, this newspaper can be more than one sheet, the first page of the important news of the court, the second page can be the article of the time, the third page, arrange some lace news and other news, the fourth page can be the business of advertising, technically speaking, it is not difficult to achieve, now the Ministry of Industry has sorted out the movable type printing technology again, enough to print nearly 30,000 copies in one day, first for the Beijing Division, and then gradually pushed to the provinces, When it can be a sharp weapon for the court's propaganda, after this controversy arises, the father can go to the emperor's law, on the grounds of clear arguments, put forward the idea of running a newspaper, think that the emperor's law will not have objections, in this way, this newspaper must be dominated by the Ministry of Rites, in other words, the mouthpiece of public opinion is also in hand, and why worry about not being able to refute Tian Bingyi and other untrained literati in a short time. ”

The reason why Hongqing wants to run a newspaper is not only to deal with the current controversy, but to have a deep level of thinking, that is, to prepare for the complete opening of people's wisdom in the future.

"Zicheng, Master, do you two think Qing'er's proposal is feasible?"

Even if Hongqing had already made the function of the newspaper extremely clear, the third master still didn't think that this thing could come in handy, but seeing Hongqing so insisting, but it was not easy to object, after thinking about it, he still didn't make a decision on the spot, but threw the question to the two strategists Chen and Li.

"Lord Wang, if this thing is used well, it can indeed be called a sharp weapon, but the formulation of rules must be cautious, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be discussed, according to the subordinates, it seems that it is not inappropriate to try it first."

Li Minquan learned about the newspaper only more than a quarter of an hour earlier than the third master, but Li Minquan's insight was a cut higher than the third master, not only saw that the power of the newspaper is not small, but also realized that this thing is a double-edged sword, if he is not careful, it is easy to hurt himself, in view of this, even if his heart is towards Hongqing, in such a major matter, he does not dare to fully support Hongqing's opinion, and he just put forward a compromise.

"Well, Master, what do you mean?"

The third master originally had an indispensable attitude towards the newspaper, but when he heard Li Minquan say it cautiously, his attitude inevitably favored not to do it, but this proposal came from Hongqing's mouth, and the third master was not easy to oppose clearly, so he said noncommittally, and threw the question to the old master Chen who was sitting silently on the side.

"The mouth of the people is more than the Sichuan, however, since ancient times, but it is always impossible to prevent it, just like the control of water, it is better to block it than to be sparse, if there can be newspapers and other things to communicate up and down, then the upper situation is issued, the lower situation is presented or can be two appropriate, although there is a risk, but if it is properly controlled, but it is not hindered, if the prince can take charge of this matter, you can control public opinion, and there should be huge profits in major events, and it should be done!"

Old Master Chen obviously saw farther than Li Minquan, and his analysis was much more profound than what Li Minquan said.

"Well...... that's good, Qing'er will sort out the charter first, and Ama will discuss it after reading it."

Seeing that Old Master Chen strongly agreed with Hongqing's proposal, the third master's mind inevitably changed again, but it was not to the point where he planned to act immediately, and after frowning and thinking for a while, he decided to take a look first.

"Yes, the boy obeys."

failed to convince the third master on the spot, Hongqing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he didn't care very much, no, once the matter was forced to the head, even if the third master was no longer happy, then he had to take action, because of this, Hongqing didn't say more, just bowed down and agreed to the promise, and no longer talked about this matter, and an emergency discussion was over......

On the fifth day of the sixth month of the 51st year of Kangxi, Yang Guangnian, the son of Shanxi and Tian Bingyi, the son of Sichuan, who lived in Guangji Temple, wrote many articles on the matter of the "Kyoto Treaty", violently criticizing this treaty for being too harsh to Dongying, contrary to the way of mercy and forgiveness, and asking for war compensation is even more of a good word, contrary to the concept of the sage, it is really an act of robbers, advocating the abolition of this treaty and treating people with leniency. It has spread everywhere in Beijing, and the people of Beijing have all been hotly discussed. On the sixth day of the sixth month of the 51st year of the Kangxi reign, dozens of literary masters such as Yang Wenyan and Zhou Changyan, who were famous scholars in Beijing, wrote articles to refute the articles of Yang Guangnian and others, put forward the difference between the benevolence of a gentleman and the benevolence of a woman, advocated the difference between inside and outside, and even cited the incident of the Ming Dynasty's chaos in China, in order to prove that the Japanese were cruel and unkind, and were not worthy of education, and only power could be leveled. As soon as these articles came out, they also quickly spread throughout the entire Beijing Division, attracting the attention of the people of the Beijing Division, and the wind of controversy suddenly became loud, whether it was a teahouse or a wine shop, there was a heated debate between the two sides everywhere, and all kinds of gossip spread around, and the Beijing Division was in a commotion. On the ninth day of the sixth month of the 51st year of the Kangxi reign, the Zuodu Yushi Nalan recounted the previous book, and the Ming chapter was issued, clearly opposing the "Kyoto Treaty", and it was unkind to ask for war reparations, and the garrison in Kyoto was unjust, and in the name of overseas garrisons such as Fei Miliang, the old thirteen and Hongqing who presided over the drafting of this treaty were impeached, and the government and the opposition were in an uproar, and many local officials such as Shanxi Governor Xifu and Anhui Governor Sun Changhong had also arrived in Beijing, and all of them were against the "Kyoto Treaty"; On June 11, the 51st year of the Kangxi reign, Rong Zhu, the governor of Henan, Chen Qidong, the governor of Beihe, Meng Guangzu, the governor of Fujian, and other local officials also sent their copies to the Beijing Division, and they strongly agreed with the "Kyoto Treaty"; At this point, many officials on both sides have made their positions clear, and the situation in the court suddenly became weird, and there was a tense atmosphere of "wind and rain are coming, and the building is full of smoke"!
