Chapter 212 was swept away

In the evening, when the instructions were folded, I saw the review report of Song Chengzu of the Criminal Department on Ren Song, the former prefect of Jinhua, and after investigation, Ren Song himself did not corrupt the law, but did not do his job properly, and handed over the power to Fang Zhuo, the original sentence, which caused many official fields to be sold cheaply into the hands of individuals, but fortunately did not cause harm to the majority of the people, and the Criminal Department proposed to deal with it as a crime of dereliction of duty.

I sighed and instructed, deal with it lightly, cut down for the people, this Ren Song is the same as Shi Hongsheng, they are all misplaced, if one day I want to form the Ministry of Culture, I can consider this person,

Ren Song is a good person, but not a good official,

Before the official promulgation of the "Code of Conduct for Officials" on September 1, I also opened the net to at least any one who is not greedy, and there are not many officials in the officialdom who are not greedy, and even good people are rarely seen in the dirty officialdom.

It is very important for people to find their own positioning, and hobbies should be used as the preferred reference factor, doing what they like can often get twice the result with half the effort, after all, the difference between active and passive is quite large.

"Jiu'er, look at this." After I finished the recital, I handed Chen Huang's letter to Quan Jiu,

"Chen Huang, the monarch of Annan."

"Yes, this is the person."

Quan Jiu read it carefully and said: "This Annan country has received a lot of gifts from our dynasty, and the Mongols have become two-faced as soon as they come, if it weren't for Nongfu this time, they wouldn't have come to the court to congratulate the official family, Jiu'er thought that this person was not a good person." ”

I nodded and said, "Jiu'er, I had a meeting with Jia Yidao and others in the afternoon, and most people think that it should be pacified first, what do you think about Jiu'er." ”

Quan Jiu thought for a while and said: "The official family, judging from the current situation, it is indeed only appeased, I am not capable of fighting on both sides, Jiu'er feels that one day, before the official family decides to go north to the Central Plains, they can follow the example of Han Wu and take back Annan and Dali together, as for Na Nongfu, you can think about it carefully, whether it is useful." ”

"Utilization."

"Well, the official family, you think, the area of Guangyuan County belongs to my Great Song Dynasty, the junction of Annan and Dali, if Nong Fu really wants to gather people to make trouble, and the official family can recover Nong Fu, maybe Nong Fu is a secret soldier, and it will definitely help the official family when they send troops to Annan and Dali, but I just don't know if there is such a possibility."

"Huh." I suddenly smiled and said, "Jiu'er, the gods are also." ”

"After staying with the official family for a long time, Jiu'er has also become a god." Quan Jiu looked at me and said,

During the Liberation War, Liu Deng's army jumped thousands of miles into Dabie Mountain, like a sharp knife stuck in the enemy, if I can recover Nongfu, then Guangyuan County is also surrounded by mountains, but tens of thousands of soldiers can be hidden, maybe it can really play the same role,

"Jiu'er, reply to Chen Huang."

Quan Jiu took out a hard pen and recorded it, I said: "I have received a letter from the monarch, the content is fully understood, Chen Yuan's envoy sent a congratulatory gift on behalf of the monarch, I thank the monarch for his heart, since Zhao Tuo in the Qin period, Annan Zhudi was the county of the Heavenly Dynasty, when it was a vassal, most of them were my Huaxia clan, I will not ignore it, now the great enemy of Mongolia, the monarch can focus on the overall situation, endure humiliation and concentration, respectable, my Great Song Dynasty and Annan clan for hundreds of years, has been close, I believe that the monarch's choice is really helpless, to neutralize each other, I think it is okay, When he sent troops to destroy Mongolia, Annan could be safe and peaceful forever, and as for Nongfu, I had already sent someone to investigate. ”

"Official, that Jiu'er asked Xiao Qi to come in, and asked him to find someone to hand over this letter to the envoy of Annan."

"Jiu'er, don't worry, it's not too late to wait two days and then give it."

"Hmm." Quan Jiu will respond to the truth,

On August 8 of the first year of Xianchun, the Great Song Dynasty Royal Newspaper was officially launched.

The earliest newspaper in China appeared in the Tang Dynasty, its origin is that the government issued a hand-copied gazette called "Di Bao", which has some characteristics of newspapers and periodicals, and later generations believe that it is the earliest form of "political axe gazette", and it is regarded as the beginning of the newspaper.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the folk scientist Bi Sheng invented movable type printing, which greatly improved the efficiency of printing, and later after the continuous updating and improvement of Zhou Bida and Shen Kuo's descendants, to the Southern Song Dynasty, the development of engraving printing technology to the heyday, all kinds of prints emerged in endlessly,

With the popularization of printing, newspapers also developed unprecedentedly during the Song Dynasty.

The people of the Two Song Dynasty, especially the slightly wealthy families in the capital, have two newspapers, one is the so-called official newspaper, and the other is the "tabloid", "tabloid" relies on all kinds of eye-catching gossip news, attracting a large number of loyal readers, up to the high-ranking officials of the government, down to the common people, all of whom are "surnamed Xixin and curious", all of them take the "tabloid" as the first and the "official newspaper" as the norm, because the influence of the "tabloid" is too great, which seriously affects the effect of the "official newspaper", and the moral observance of the "paparazzi" is not high, and some fake news will be reported from time to time. Therefore, the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty decided to completely ban the publication of "tabloids", but because "tabloids" are indeed very popular with the public, and even many political officials take pleasure in reading "tabloids", so although they are explicitly banned, "tabloids" still sell well.

Early in the morning, the people of Lin'an found another official newspaper - the Great Song Dynasty Royal Newspaper, in the hearts of the people, the court is above the royal family, since this newspaper is named after this, presumably its authoritative surname is still above the official newspaper,

The first edition of the royal newspaper only printed 10,000 copies, of which 3,000 copies were sent to the yamen of various prefectures and counties through the official post station, and the rest were sold in the capital, and the circulation of the official newspaper was generally more than 100,000 copies, and even the tabloids published secretly could print tens of thousands, so the 7,000 copies of the royal newspaper of the Great Song Dynasty were swept away in the first day of launch.

"Give me one."

"I want one too."

"There are only two copies left, give them both."

"Why is it gone so soon?" A man who got up late was not happy and said,

The newspaper sellers were very happy that they were all sold out so quickly, and they could go back early to rest or do their next job.

For this Lin'an city with a population of more than one million, although 7,000 newspapers are not a drop in the ocean, they are enough, not to mention that this is still a royal newspaper.

"Today's emperor is really wise, this phenomenon of officialdom malpractice should have been rectified a long time ago, and half of the profits made by businessmen such as me were given to officials in vain, and I am unwilling." Zheng Huchen, who was sitting in the private room of a tea shop, was drinking morning tea while reading the newspaper and said,

"That's right, Brother Zheng is right, it seems that the emperor wants to completely rectify this time." Lin Zhixiong on the side said with a smile,

After reading it, Zheng Huchen said in a low voice: "I just don't know if it can be implemented, Brother Lin, the emperor is not the emperor alone who has the final say in the current court, and there is still a party in charge of the Daoist Party." ”

Lin Zhixiong said: "Let's wait and see, maybe it's possible." ”

"Of course there may be a surname, if Jia Rudao can really cover the sky with one hand, this newspaper should not appear, I always feel that this world is going to change."

"Brother Zheng, you have always cared about the affairs of the court, whether this world is getting better or worse."

"Of course it's good, Brother Lin doesn't know, more than half of my business is a project of the government, so I have a lot of contact with the government, and eating and drinking with him is almost a must, and in private, I also listen to these officials talk about the affairs of the DPRK and China." Speaking of this, Zheng Huchen leaned forward, and said in a quieter voice, "Brother Lin, since the emperor ascended the throne, the new Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Great Song Yinzhuang are said to be to divide Jia Yidao's power, and now the emperor has been saying that he has food, and his control over the court has become stronger and stronger. ”

Lin Zhixiong also whispered: "That shows that the emperor is wise, and it should have been like this a long time ago." ”

Zheng Huchen nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

"By the way, Brother Zheng, how did you talk to Xiao Tian when you came to Beijing this time."

"It has been negotiated, Xiao Tian went to my workshop last month, and basically reached an agreement on cooperation matters, and this time I came to visit back, and I signed an agreement with Shifeng Commercial Bank."

"Congratulations to Brother Zheng."

Zheng Huchen picked up the teacup and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, I can cooperate with Shifeng and thank you for your introduction, I will replace the wine with tea, and I will toast you with a glass." ”

"Haha, Brother Zheng, why should you be polite between you and me."

"Brother Lin, this time I negotiated with Xiao Tian that all the metal products that need to be cast for the goods of his business house will be processed by me in Suzhou, and in the future, I want to gradually reduce the cooperation with the government, and shift my main energy to cooperate with Shifeng, alas, it is really tiring to deal with the government, and I am tired."

"That's good, so that we can see each other often in Lin'an."

"Well, it's just that I didn't see Gongzi Huyan this time, which is a pity."

"What, Brother Zheng, isn't Gongzi Huyan here?"

Zheng Huchen sighed: "According to Xiao Tian, Gongzi Huyan has been very busy recently, so he can only come and see you next time." ”

"Having said that, I admire the son of Huyan so much, Brother Zheng doesn't know, last time in Fuzhou, if it wasn't for the help of the son of Huyan, I am likely to lose my family, the son of Huyan is a person who does great things, although it is a little mysterious, but it is a person with a surname." Lin Zhixiong said gratefully,

Zheng Huchen read the newspaper again, and suddenly said: "Brother Lin, you are from Fujian Road, look at it, your Fujian Road is going to set up a Supervision Office and a Nanya, this is the first one in my dynasty." ”

"Huh." Lin Zhixiong smiled, "Brother Zheng, I already know this. ”

"Ah, Brother Lin is so well-informed." Zheng Huchen was a little unconvinced,

"Don't hide it from Brother Zheng, this matter has something to do with me."

"Oh, let's hear it."

"Okay, Brother Zheng, you know that I had a lawsuit in the Fuzhou Mansion and the Ship Department some time ago, the presiding judge was Zhang Song, the prefect of Fuzhou, and later got the approval of the Ministry of Commerce of the Imperial Court with the help of Huyan Gongzi, the lawyer who helped me fight the lawsuit was named Kong Jian, and he was also a friend of mine, this Kong Jian was originally a staff member in Fuzhou Mansion, proficient in the law of our dynasty, about half a month ago, Zhang Songzhang, the prefect of Fuzhou, suddenly came to the cold house, found Kong Jian, and said that he would recommend him to serve in the South Yamen of Fujian Road, I asked carefully, and Zhang told me, said that the imperial court was going to set up a supervision office and a nanya on Fujian Road, and I was entrusted by the new inspector to find a person who was proficient in the law to serve as the governor of Nanya, so I knew a few days earlier than the news in the newspaper. ”

"I see."

When Zheng Huchen saw the end of the newspaper, he praised it: "Brother Lin, this newspaper is worthy of being the royal newspaper of the Great Song Dynasty, and it dares to publish the dispute between the two governments of Jama by name. ”

"Yes." Lin Zhixiong took the newspaper and said, "The dispute between the two families of Jia Ma is almost a household name in the entire Lin'an City, and it has been published in many tabloids, but it is not as detailed as it is mentioned above, although it is just a trivial matter, but it is related to the reputation of the two adults, and it is rumored that the two families want to be private, and the Jia family means to ask the Ma family to admit their mistake, and this matter is over, and the Ma family thinks that the fault lies with the Jia family, and they also want the Jia family to accompany them, and they don't even have to pay for the medical expenses, but both sides are unwilling to bow their heads. Although he knew that the Jia family and the Ma family were not something he could offend, but in order to show his determination to handle the case, he played the case to the emperor, and he didn't know who spread the matter from the palace, and this time it was even more obvious to everyone. ”

"Your Majesty." Zheng Huchen didn't believe it, "It's really fake, it's just this little thing." ”

"It's just a tabloid rumor."

"And what about later."

"After that, there was no follow-up, no, after more than ten days, it was published in the royal newspaper again."

Zheng Huchen thought about it for a while, and said meaningfully: "Brother Lin, this matter is quite meaningful. ”

"Brother Zheng, forgive the little brother for being stupid, what do you mean."

"Look at this last sentence, the people of Lin'an are looking forward to the government's early judgment, what does it mean, this is just a small case, is it still worth asking the royal family, in my opinion, this last sentence is not good is the emperor's intention."
