Chapter 460: The Idea of the Newspaper
"That's not a problem." Although he didn't understand the professional terms such as the admission rate and the employment rate, Zhu Tianyi probably understood what he meant, and said to Xue Shihan: "Didn't the academician say today that in the future, students of Splendid Commercial Law can be exempted from the scientific examination and enter the Ministry of Commerce as an official if they have excellent grades?" Although the Ministry of Commerce is newly built, it is personally operated by Lord Lu, and with the support of Master Qin, I believe that it will not be too long to go to Lin'an and promote it in the entire Dasong. ”
"Yes, there will be a large shortage of manpower in the Ministry of Commerce at that time, if you really feel that you are a waste of talents, our academy can conduct an internal imperial examination at that time, and send outstanding talents to the Ministry of Commerce, I think Master Lu will also be happy to accept it." Fang Zichang also agreed.
Xue Shihan shook his head and did not refute the two enthusiastic old academicians, but if you think about it, you know that this matter is so simple! Not to mention that it is still unknown whether the Ministry of Commerce can get out of Jiangling, even if it does, the emperor's holy decree will come down, and it will not take three or two days for the vacancy in the Ministry of Commerce to be filled.
"It seems like a real problem, but ...... I have a way. Qin Baichuan blinked.
"Oh?" Fang Zichang and Zhu Tianyi were suddenly interested again, their first task was to solve the problem of the source of silver, as for employment...... They all saved their plans to talk about it later, and they heard that Qin Baichuan had a way, if they could completely solve these troubles once and for all, they couldn't ask for it.
"Yes, but when the time comes, Academician Fang will need to come forward, and even have to bother Lord Lu." Qin Baichuan changed his sitting posture and said with a smile: "Let me confirm two questions first, I heard that the students of Qingfeng Academy are mainly poetry and songs, writing books and sayings, and compiling character biographies?" ”
"Exactly." Fang Zichang smiled: "What? Isn't it that Master Qin wants someone to write a biography for you and compile it into history? ”
"I'm self-aware." Qin Baichuan waved his hand and refused, and said, "According to the old academician, aren't they very proficient in pen and ink kung fu?" Dare to ask the old academician, can you train those students into talents such as writing reviews and small books? ”
"Do you still have to answer this question?" Zhu Tianyi said with a smile: "Poetry and songs are done, how can you not write the vernacular in the market?" Master Qin, you don't want to sell Guanzi, if you have any ideas, please tell me, which makes the old man itch and feel unbearable. ”
"It is related to the influence of Qingfeng Academy in the future, and there is one last question that needs to be confirmed." Qin Baichuan asked, "I don't know how Qingfeng Academy is connected to Lin'an and other parts of the city?" Is there a well-established pigeon station? Or...... Tell me directly, if I want to send a message to Lin'an, how long does it take? ”
"Pigeon site? Master Qin asked what this is for? Fang Zichang asked suspiciously, and then replied: "Qingfeng Academy has connections with large-scale academies in various places, and it can transmit messages in a few hours when it is close, and it can only be two days at most...... From here to Lin'an, six hours for ordinary carrier pigeons and four hours for snow eagles are enough. ”
"Can the old academician sort out these carrier pigeon sites and then hand them over to Qin?" Qin Baichuan said tentatively: "Of course, if the cultivation of carrier pigeons requires silver, Qin will bear it." ”
"Qingfeng Academy's carrier pigeons can be handed over to Master Qin, but the sites in other places don't belong to Qingfeng Academy, so it's a bit troublesome to put them together." Fang Zichang looked embarrassed, and it was difficult to refuse Qin Baichuan, so he asked: "Could it be that these carrier pigeons are closely related to solving the problem of Qingfeng's future whereabouts?" ”
"It does matter." Qin Baichuan nodded, in fact, what carrier pigeons, what stations, from the current actual situation, there is no need at all. Qin Baichuan deliberately brought up this matter, just because there were some minor troubles when he wanted to pass the book to Beijun last time, and now he just used the resources of Qingfeng Academy to establish a communication method by himself.
"But there's no rush in this matter, let's get down to business first." Qin Baichuan said with a smile: "In fact, the solution to the employment rate of students in Qingfeng Academy is also very simple, the old academician only needs to meet Master Lu, cooperate with the government, and set up a newspaper." ”
"Newspaper? What's new? Fang Zichang felt it a long time ago, what Qin Baichuan said was a big eulogy, and he understood these words individually, but when they were combined, they were extremely weird, and he couldn't understand the meaning at all.
"The old academician wants to know?" Qin Baichuan raised his eyebrows, and his face showed the appearance of a businessman.
"Stinky boy, deliberately hanging the old man's appetite, and trying to rob the silver, right?" Fang Zichang saw through Qin Baichuan and snorted: "The old rule, as long as you can earn silver, you are willing to establish a Qingfeng clan according to the agreement, and divide it into fifty or fifty!" ”
"Not this time, three or seven points, you three, I seven." Qin Baichuan had a businesslike attitude: "To be honest, Qin has been thinking about this idea for a while, but he has been busy with other things and has no time to practice it step by step." What Qingfeng Academy wants to solve is the problem of employment rate, and what Qin wants is silver, in fact, even if it is thirty percent, it is too much. ”
Qin Baichuan said seriously, and it was related to the future employment of Qingfeng students, Fang Zichang also had to pay attention to it, and frowned: "You talk about it first, if it is reasonable, the old man will agree to you." ”
"The old academician helped the Baihua Workshop today, and Qin gave back with two ideas, borrowing students and cram schools, which can be regarded as two clear. If the old academician has no interest in setting up a newspaper, then I will go back, and the owner of my family still has something to discuss with me. Qin Baichuan stood up and clenched his fists as if to leave.
"Here it is again!" Fang Zichang was so hateful that he itched at all, and snorted: "Hmph, don't say it so high-soundingly, why do you have a lot of things, you don't have time to practice step by step, and in the end, it's not that you don't have the resources to use?" Thirty-seven is too low, how can Qingfeng Academy be said to be the first academy in Dasong, at least four or six! If you can talk about it, you can talk about it, but you can't talk about it...... In the future, if there is really a mess in Qingfeng Academy, I will not move you, so I will let Lord Lu go and invite, and if Lord Lu does not move, I will let the emperor make a holy decree! ”
"Old man, it's just a trivial matter, can you alarm the emperor?" Four or six points was originally Qin Baichuan's bottom line, he sat down again, deliberately pretended to be annoyed, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, four or six points is four or six points...... Qin deserves to be a loss this time...... However, Qin needs to have absolute management of the newspaper. ”
"It won't affect the reputation of the academy, it's up to you!" The old academician didn't hesitate this time.
"The old academician is angry, then I can say it." There is no need to make any contracts to talk about things with a person like an old academician, and after Qin Baichuan got the shares he wanted, he slowly spoke: "A newspaper is a form of expression of a community, with the collection, editing and publishing of newspapers as the main work content, and the newspaper as the medium of communication, to provide information services to the audience in a certain area. ”
"Newspapers?" The three of them obviously didn't quite understand the true meaning of the newspaper, Qin Baichuan took the teacup aside, explained while drawing with his fingers, and said: "The newspaper is a large official document, probably so long and wide, it doesn't matter if the specific specifications are made, we can make them." Generally, the official documents of the imperial court or the government are posted in crowded places, and our newspapers are sent to customers for a fee, which is convenient and fast. ”
"A large official document...... Is it a newspaper? Qin Baichuan's statement could only make Fang Zichang understand it so well, he touched his beard, as if he understood it.
"That's probably it, but there are a lot of details in it." Qin Baichuan continued: "Newspapers are similar to official documents, but they are different from official documents, after all, whether it is the imperial court or the government, it is impossible to have new decrees to announce to the people every day, so at the beginning of the newspaper's distribution, we need to divide several sections according to the different audiences. For example, Qin is very interested in the Splendid Commercial Law course, but he does not have enough money to enter Qingfeng Academy to study, for this part of the population, we can open a business section, which specializes in providing some business law theory courses; If someone likes Qin's "The Condor Heroes", then you can open a novel story serialization section, one issue a day; For another example, some people admire Academician Fang, but they never have the opportunity to see him, so the old academician may wish to write a little autobiography in the newspaper, or encourage the reader, which is also for the benefit of the party. ”
Qin Baichuan paused, waited for them to absorb and understand, and then said: "The establishment of the plate requires a lot of thought, and on the basis of gathering our existing resources, we can train another group of reporters...... The so-called reporter is to 'inquire', to inquire about the new things that happened in Gangneung, such as where the unknown female corpse was found in Gangneung, such as which bully bullied men and women, etc., in short, there are events that can attract attention, we can send someone to inquire clearly, and then the editor will sort it out after coming back, and the artist will arrange it and publish it officially. In this way, to a certain extent, the newspaper is not a lawsuit, but it can publicize the problems that ordinary people encounter and cannot be solved, arouse the attention of the whole people, use public opinion to put pressure on the government, and then urge the government to investigate as soon as possible, which is also a means of maintaining political clarity. ”
Qin Baichuan wasted a lot of lips and tongues, and after explaining the efficacy of the newspaper clearly, the three old academicians suddenly realized and nodded one after another: "This method is good, if it can really be implemented, it can not only solve the future way out of Qingfeng Academy's students, but also provide a platform to ask for their lives in the name, which is a good thing!" ”
"Not only is it a good thing, but it is also an opportunity to improve the prestige of Qingfeng Academy." Qin Baichuan said with a smile: "Da Song's first newspaper, Qin Mou intends to combine his own ideas with the rigor and prestige of Qingfeng Academy, and then need the strong support of the government, no one or any institution can imitate it, as long as these conditions are met, it will not be long before the newspaper will become a form that the people of Jiangling like to see." When the time comes, we can open more branches all over the country, and the Qingfeng Academy will send reporters and editors to the past, and if it is properly operated, our newspaper will be the main public opinion guide of this era, and maybe the name of the Qingfeng Academy will firmly suppress the Guozijian. ”
"Suppress the Guozijian?" Fang Zichang and Zhu Tianyi both showed excitement on their faces, the local academy suppressed the Guozijian, which was also a temptation for them that no amount of silver could buy.
