Entering October, the weather in Xuanfu Town is as cold as a day, but many townspeople do not feel the chill in their hearts, mainly because there are too many exciting things in the recent past, and various reports of the great victory outside the Seychelles are still ongoing, but now the pen and ink are mainly turning to the various military, political and civil affairs meetings that the General's Mansion has continuously held these days. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Everyone is speculating about the future structure of Xuanfu Town, what official will be in any position, and the general said that he will develop Monan, how will it be operated in the future?

The newspaper is talking loudly, and the people are also talking about state affairs, pointing out the country, which is the distinctive feature of Xuanfu Town, and it is placed elsewhere in Daming, and the teahouse and restaurant should also paste a note of "don't talk about state affairs", but here, it is everyone who speaks freely.

Various political discussion societies have been born, and many teahouses and restaurants are their strongholds.

In this regard, many shogunate officials could not help but be worried, believing that the small people were talking exaggeratedly, and as soon as the decree was issued, the outside world began to talk about it in the streets, and they dissected the decree as if they were officials, analyzing them one by one, and talking about the pros and cons, as if they were the officials, which was quite detrimental to the control and education of the officials.

Moreover, the shogunate is discussing major matters, and they are also discussing "major matters" in the teahouse, and a policy of the shogunate has not yet been analyzed clearly, and they have analyzed it to eight or nine, mainly because the degree of knowledge in the town is getting higher and higher, and everyone's analytical and judgment skills are getting stronger and stronger.

If it doesn't meet the wishes of all parties, it will be criticized, and it will have to go back and reconsider, won't it make people annoyed and embarrassed? Zhang Gui, ambassador of the Department of Civil Affairs, roared because of this.

The appearance of newspapers has strengthened the offensive of public opinion in Xuanfu Town, and it has been of great use to educate the people. But for town officials, it's a mixed bag.

Because of what they did, they may be in the newspaper at any time, and many people also tend to find the newspaper to avenge their grievances or report them, and because of this, some officials have been dismissed, resulting in a long time when the officials were terrified when they saw the interview of the Times, whether it was under the rule of Wang Dou or under the rule of the imperial court at this time.

Wu Zhizhou Wu Zhi of Yanqing Prefecture was recruited because of this, and that day he was invited to drink and compose poems in the Qinglou with a few friends, which was originally a very elegant thing among the literati. If Du Mu, Su Shi and other ancient names are in front. Many beautiful poems were born in the Qinglou, and officials and famous prostitutes are a pair that complement each other.

Who knows that it was inexplicably in the newspaper, and in the mouth of the market. It became like a kiln visit. It also sparked a discussion among the people about whether officials should visit the Qinglou. Where does this make Wu Zhizhou's old face go? From that day on, he never visited the Qinglou again.

There is also Gao Shiyin, who had a whim one day. I went to the casino and went shopping, and I was also hit.

Once Wang Dou rectified Xuanzhen, closed all the casinos in the territory, leaving only brothels, and carried out a series of regulations, such as prostitutes must be licensed to work, but also to the Department of Health to go to regular inspections, to prevent venereal diseases, etc., free of charge.

But after all, it is human nature to gamble on this thing, and soon it revived, but it went underground and became more hidden, so Wang Dou thought about it, or open the gambling industry, set up several large casinos in the town, and controlled and operated by the Intelligence Department behind the scenes.

They had to pay high taxes, and there were also regulations that they were not allowed to lend usury, cut off their hands and feet, etc., and after the troublemakers reported to the officials, they were caught in the mines and served hard labor.

Gao Shiyin wanted to die or not, and was seen by several interviews, and Jiang Hongsheng, a newspaper doctor, didn't know what to think, so this news was also in the newspaper and sandwiched in the anecdote column.

After the newspaper was sent out, the people did not react, after all, the image of the Jingbian Army in the town is very good, and it is normal for officers to go to the casino to relax, but after Wang Dou saw it, he said: "It is better for soldiers not to go to the casino, the impact is not good." ”

At this time, Gao Shiyin quit and found Liu Benshen, the ambassador of the Information Department, and asked, and the two almost had a big fight, which caused a very bad impact.

All kinds of troubles brought by the newspaper, for a period of time, even the officials and generals under Wang Douzhi have asked for the newspaper to be closed, they think that the pros and cons are difficult to say, and even hurt themselves.

Reacting to Wang Douna, Wang Dou just said lightly: "Public opinion is like water, how does Dayu control water?" ”

He also said: "There are thousands of folk imperial history overseers, why not?" ”

However, he also believes that for a period of time, the information department made a mistake, and the newspapers under the department were originally a sharp weapon to educate the people, publicize public opinion, pay attention to the people's livelihood, and supervise officials.

Xuanfu Times is a very serious newspaper, and it is the object of imitation of newspapers that will be opened in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. Wu Zhizhou went to visit the Qinglou and did you have a? made him so old man that he didn't dare to communicate with famous prostitutes in the future, how could it be a gentleman's doing?

There is also the matter of Gao Shiyin, if he violates the law and discipline, he has his own military discipline correction, what is the matter in the newspaper? Isn't it a waste of budget and space to do a good job of people's livelihood affairs, right and wrong government affairs, and official supervision, and to specialize in these messes?

After that, the Xuanfu Times went through some rectification, completely abandoned those vulgar things, moved towards the high-end, and got out of control of the public opinion that was worried about his subordinates, Wang Dou did not think so, what the news department and the newspaper were used to guide public opinion.

The storytellers and opera troupes in various castles and cities are also mostly peripheral personnel of the Intelligence Department, and they have nothing to worry about controlling public opinion.

It is also a good thing for some officials to sit on pins and needles, and the supervision of public opinion can prompt them to take their own government affairs more seriously, after all, the power of the supervision department is still limited, and more people need to participate in it, and the more civil imperial history, the better.

Therefore, now the circulation of Xuanfu Times is getting larger and larger, and everyone holds the newspaper in their hands and talks loudly in the teahouse or at home, which has become the norm in Xuanfu Town, and the current affairs news about the town can also be printed and distributed once a day or two.

At this structure meeting, it can be said that all the citizens of Xuanfu Town are paying close attention, not only Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, and Shanxi Town, but also the officials and people.

Therefore, since the return of the army led by Lidong Wang Dou on the fifth day of October, the wide square outside the General's Mansion was full of people who listened to the news, and all kinds of voices were mixed, and even the cold wind of early winter could not take away the heat in their hearts.

This is not only outside the General's Mansion, but even the entire archway East Street. According to the courtyard street and Hubu Street, they are all full of people in twos and threes.

The townspeople have heard that this time the shogun will carry out a thorough restructuring of the shogunate, all of which are divided into three departments: the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of Supervision, as well as the Central Military Department under the direct jurisdiction of Wang Dou, under which there are staff departments, intelligence, and foreign affairs departments, and then each department will perform its own duties and completely decentralize power.

The same is true in the newspapers, so who is in charge of each ministry and department. It has become the focus of attention. There are also many key points such as the establishment of banks, the assessment of officials, and the development of Monan, which attract black and oppressive crowds to gather outside the general's mansion every day.

The crowd was bustling. Every day, the officials who attend the meeting will stride in with their heads held high. Either happy or sad. will erupt in fierce discussions among everyone, and the expressions of everyone in the meeting have also become the focus of controversy.

Many Times interviews gathered outside the door. Whenever the meeting ended, it was very lively to rush to chase after valuable interviewees.

Their enthusiasm also aroused the interest of ordinary townspeople, and as soon as they finished their work every day, they hurried to the teahouse, listened to the movements of all parties, and then talked excitedly, even the officials under the rule of the imperial court, not to mention the idle and wealthy classes.

……

There are many teahouses and restaurants on the cross street of Xuanfu Town, especially the current side of Xishuncheng Street at the north gate, which is the main place for the townspeople to play in their leisure time, and all kinds of teahouses are lined up like clouds, and it is an important place for everyone to wait for news.

On the ninth day of the first month, the meeting of several consecutive days is about to close, this day the "Fuyun Pavilion" teahouse by the lake in Xishuncheng Street is even full, upstairs and downstairs are crowded with people, all kinds of voices are noisy, bursts of excited discussions continue to come, even the tea guys can't help but stop, listen to the forgetfulness.

“…… Contemptible people think that in the three shogunate departments, Han Chao should be the minister of military affairs, Huang Shibian can be the minister of supervision, although Zhang Gui is becoming more and more lacking in talent, but he is an old man under the command of the general...... Moreover, the general drew up a term of office system, and the chief officials of each department were counted as terms of office from the establishment of the shogunate in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, and Zhang Gui was not far from a five-year term. The general is worried about the old feelings, and he will definitely let Zhang Gui expire in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, depending on whether Ye Xizhi or Zhong Zhengxian will take over. ”

"I am optimistic about Ye Xizhi and has made great achievements in political affairs, but it is a pity that he has little qualifications...... I guess Zhong Zhengxian is designated as one of the deputy ministers, and then it is logical to take over Zhang Gui's position, after all, he is a general...... And he is extremely outstanding in arithmetic. ”

This person's words were opposed by a bunch of people: "Where is Ye Xizhi's qualifications?" He also followed the general early, and he was also the teacher of the major general, replacing Zhang Gui, which was just right! ”

"Indeed, is the Great General a cronyism? Yu is also optimistic about Ye Xizhi! ”

"Brother Sun just said that Huang Shibian is the Minister of Supervision, Yang does not agree with this, where do you put Ambassador Chi? He is in the Zhenfu Division, and he is truly respected! ”

"Yes, Huang Shibian was originally a subordinate of Chi Dacheng, he has become a respect, Chi Dacheng is still in the Ministry of Military Affairs? That's absolutely impossible! Moreover, Chi Dacheng was also designated as one of the vice ministers of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the various towns and governors of our Jingbian Army were in a high position. ”

"You wait for Han Chao to be the Minister of Military Affairs, but people think that Wen Fangliang is the most likely......"

Fuyun Pavilion teahouse gossip, everyone talked very hotly, there are all ingredients in this teahouse, so it is more lively, attracting more people to come.

Just as he was talking happily, suddenly there was a commotion downstairs, and a voice said: "The Korean member is here." ”

"It's a Korean member."

"Brother Han is good."

"I saw Han Yuan again, I listened to the high arguments that day, and I gained a lot, and I will definitely listen to them again today."

In the midst of the noise, a deep voice with a Zhendingfu accent sounded: "Brothers, you love each other, Han really doesn't dare to be it." ”

Then a stylish and successful man in his fifties, with slightly white temples, a tall body, wearing a foreign uniform, and full of wisdom in his eyes, entered the teahouse with a smile on his face, he held a newspaper in his hand, and kept returning the salute to the tea guests who got up to greet him, but it was Han Kaihui and his father Han Xianwei.

After Han's father arrived in Xuanfu Town, his life was rich and stable, and he didn't like any business business, and his favorite thing was to talk with people in the teahouse and discuss political affairs.

The atmosphere on this side is tolerant, there is quite a mass base, and Han Xianwei is always insightful, so he has quite a lot of fans in this place of Fuyun Pavilion, and even many people on this street have heard his name, and even the Information Department has paid attention to him.
