Wang Shu was so praised by Zhu Houzhao, he laughed loudly, although he tried his best to put on a modest appearance, but Gu Pan still showed a little smugness, this is one of the few times in his life, in retrospect, he was really high-spirited.

Zhu Houzhao saw Wang Shu laughing, his eyes rolled slightly, and said: "I often hear people in this palace say that Master Wang's articles are very well written, and this palace has been reading for the past few days, but I also feel very bored, so it is better to ask Master Wang to write an article to show this palace, so that this palace can know Master Wang's talents." ”

"Writing articles?" Wang Shu was surprised at first, and then couldn't help laughing, his own article, can this prince understand? But then again, the emperor has appointed so many East Palace attendants to speak and read, and he has not seen the prince begging for their articles, if he refuses, it will inevitably be a little unkind.

Wang Shu's mind immediately moved, and said, "Okay, bring pen and ink." ”

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone in this study are all ready-made, Liu Jin, who was beside Zhu Houzhao, heard Wang Shu's words, smiled and went to the desk to take the pen and ink to Wang Shu's desk, and said, "Please use ink." ”

Wang Shu didn't say much, he muttered for a moment, and then began to write, and this move was a little unbearable.

He was the leader of the Sanyuan School, which was very different from other schools in that although it was mainly local, not official, it questioned Cheng Zhu's science and even overthrew it indirectly.

Although the Sanyuan school is also a kind of Confucianism, but in this era it is already a deviant, the orthodoxy of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty is Cheng Zhu, both the science, the development of science has been four or five hundred years, coupled with the official recognition, has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and many of the remarks of the Sanyuan school are very different from the science, contrary to the science, so although Wang Shu is tired of the official to the Ministry of Shangshu, the prince Taibao, but in the academic isolation is isolated.

His articles are not often shown, today I promised to write an article to Zhu Houzhao is very rare, Wang Shu's articles are mainly critical of science, advocating dedication and knowledge, he is a great Confucian, he writes handy, and he works hard in an instant, and an article with thousands of words is done.

Wang Shu blew dry the ink, looked at his words, and felt quite proud in his heart, the so-called text is born from the heart, even if he wants to deliberately hide it, try not to criticize the science, but unconsciously, it is inevitable that the idea of science is a little ironic, he put down the pen, and faintly hopes that his article can affect the prince of the Ming Dynasty, but on the other hand, he feels that something is wrong. It's just that Zhu Houzhao praised him a lot, which made him a little fluttery, and at this time, even if he wanted to take the article back, it was too late.

It's just a small article, and even if it's for other people to read, it's not a big deal. Wang Shu thought so in his heart, in fact, he was really not afraid of someone being embarrassed, and now that he is a secretary of the ministry, who are he afraid of?

Wang Shu thought like this in his heart, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said to Zhu Houzhao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the article is done." ”

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly gathered around the case to look at it, but whether the article was good or not, he really didn't have any ability to appreciate it, he just applauded vigorously, Wang Shu smiled and said: "This article, the right should be dedicated by the old minister to His Royal Highness to read it at leisure, if His Highness has time, he can ponder the words in this article." ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Does Master Wang want to send this article to the palace?" ”

Wang Shu said: "This is nature. ”

Zhu Houzhao seemed to be afraid that Wang Shu would regret it, and hurriedly asked Liu Jin to put the article away, and thanked him, which made Wang Shu laugh secretly, and just said that the prince had grown up, but seeing that he was still childish now, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, seeing that it was not early, he said: "The old minister retired first today, and he wants to go to the hall of the ministry to see. ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "The palace knows, Liu Jin, send Master Wang quickly." ”

Constantly sending Master Wang away, Zhu Houzhao kept patting his chest, looking frightened, and let out a long breath: "Quick, prepare the carriage and horses, and go to the fireworks alley." ”

……………………………………

The venue chosen by Liu Chengfeng is not far from the Baihu Office, and the fireworks alley is expensive, so naturally it is impossible to rent a place to do the Di Newspaper House, but the two nearby streets are also under the jurisdiction of the Baihu Office, plus there are many readers who sell calligraphy and paintings at the word stalls here, and the rental is not expensive, so Liu Chengfeng chose the address here.

Since yesterday, Chen Hongyu has led people to lead craftsmen to move printing utensils here, here is not called a shop, not a big house, the front hall is used for door entertainment, there are a number of halls in it, in addition to being used for workshops, the rest is for the editors, proofreaders to make a study, and a few are stacked with some sundries.

Dozens of craftsmen and scholars have already gathered here, Liu Chengfeng and they have met with them one by one, the tentative editor-in-chief of this newspaper is called Deng Wen, Deng Wen is also a talent, there are some talents, but he is unlucky, he has failed many times, and his family is poor so he has to change to other livelihoods, he has taught the museum, and he has also done some business, so although there is a bit of bookish air on his face, but between the flashes of his eyes, there is also a little bit of philistine.

Deng Wen obediently saluted Liu Chengfeng, the proprietor, Liu Chengfeng smiled at him, and said: "Mr. Deng doesn't have to be polite, Mr. Deng's talent, Liu has already known that today I can ask you to take charge of the overall situation, this is great, presumably the operation of this newspaper, Mr. Deng already knows, right?" ”

Liu Chengfeng has to take care of official business, and it is impossible to ask about everything in the newspaper, so a Confucian businessman like Deng Wen is indispensable, this Deng Wen was dug up by Liu Chengfeng at a great price, and Liu Chengfeng was also polite to him.

But Hua said again, Liu Chengfeng is not afraid of his stunts, he can open a newspaper in this Ming Dynasty, there is no backstage behind him, and no one supports him left and right, who has the courage to do this? Liu Chengfeng has now pulled the prince into the shares, and he is a Jinyi guard, and the Qing Discussion on the side of the Guozi Prison can secretly agitate, one is the crown prince of the royal family, the other is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and the other is the Shilin Qing Discussion, all of which are indispensable to run a newspaper, otherwise if you are not careful, it may cause a big disaster.

Deng Wen saw the owner for the first time, and he had long known that the owner was a stunned young man and a troublemaker, but he didn't know that Liu Chengfeng was so young, he secretly glanced at Liu Chengfeng, and saw Liu Chengfeng's bookish face, wearing a flying fish suit, carrying a knife around his waist, and showing a bit of heroism, Deng Wen couldn't help but say in his heart: "Strange, such a character also comes to do business?" That's a surprise. ”

Deng Wen smiled at Liu Chengfeng and said, "What did the owner say?" That's so kind. Deng is already familiar with the process of the newspaper, and several editors will receive the manuscript, and then proofread it by someone after receiving it, and finally Deng will decide, and it will be printed by a craftsman, and when it is printed, it will be distributed and sold by people. ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded his head and couldn't help laughing: "It's roughly like this, but the details here still have to be pondered by Mr. Deng, but we have to rush out the first issue in the next few days." Liu Chengfeng paused, then took out a stack of paper from his sleeve, and said: "There are a lot of articles by Dr. Guozijian and prison students here, I can ask Mr. Deng to take a look at it first, and select some good ones to publish in it, but the front page should be kept, and someone will send the front page manuscript later." ”

Dr. Guozijian's article ......

Deng Wen was a little surprised, after taking the article, he took a few glances, and knew that Liu Chengfeng was not bragging, these manuscripts were not bad, they were all excellent works, but I don't know how Liu Chengfeng got them.

In fact, how did Deng Wen know that it was the wish of a reader to be able to print his articles as words and broadcast them widely, Liu Chengfeng grasped this psychology, and then took advantage of his friendship with Dr. Qin, Dr. Qin took the lead first, and the manuscript was sent like snowflakes.

In addition, if the article is selected, the newspaper will also pay the manuscript fee, although it is not much, and it is also a charcoal in the snow for many poor prisoners, so the prison of this country has exploded, as long as you can send your own articles to the newspaper of this scholar's mansion, this is equivalent to fame and fortune, and naturally they are all in one go, and everyone is scrambling.

Liu Chengfeng smiled again and said: "You look at the next few articles, if you only publish the articles of the readers, it will inevitably be too boring, the next few are some small stories that Liu came up with, the first issue of the story was written by Liu someone, but in the future, I have to recruit a few people who are good at writing stories, but this matter is not in a hurry, the most important thing at the moment is to fire the first shot, so that everyone in the capital knows our newspaper." ”

Deng Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "Can this newspaper have a better name?" ”

Liu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but be speechless, patted his forehead fiercely, and cursed himself: "I'm a pig, I'm busy, I forgot to choose my name, I'm afraid it's going to be ridiculous." He then smiled and said, "Haha...... In fact, I have already thought about the name, I just want to try Mr. Deng, I didn't expect Mr. Deng to be as wise as a torch, and he actually saw through my little trick at a glance. ”

Deng Wen smiled modestly, and then asked, "I just don't know what name to choose?" ”

Liu Chengfeng was dumbfounded for a while, and finally squeezed out a sentence and said: "How about just learning?" ”

The word "learning" not only corresponds to the main role of newspapers and periodicals, but also the beginning of the first article of the Analects, which is quite a bit of a starting point.
