Chapter 70 Illegal Publications

Ye Xianggao's face was gloomy, he sat on the Taishi chair and was speechless, looking at the full hall of bureaucrats.

Gu Dazhang looked gloomy and said, "We failed again today, not only did we not drive Zhu Cheng away, but instead let this kid be promoted by two levels." ”

Ye Xianggao stood up and reprimanded: "I'm not old and confused, I don't need you to remind me." ”

Gu Dazhang knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he retreated.

Ye Xianggao asked, "Who said that if you canonize the queen of letters, you can drive Zhu Cheng away?" ”

After all, Zuo Guangdou is a person with some insight in the Donglin Party, and he knows that now is not the time to be held accountable, so he said: "It doesn't matter who mentions it, the key is the emperor's attitude, it's not quite right." ”

Yang Lian said: "Changping Prefecture has been changed to Xinzhou Mansion, which makes it clear that the fief of King Xin will be in Changping in the future." Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, which prince's fief is next to the capital? This emperor is really strange, isn't he afraid that the king will seek to usurp the throne? We are still anxious for him, the emperor is really not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry. ”

Zuo Guangdou snorted and said, "Whoever likes to be a gelding dog should go, anyway, don't count the old man in it." ”

Yang Lian also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and his face turned red.

The clerk said to Wei Dazhong in the matter: "The key to the matter is not here, but in the supplement of the "Di Bao". As soon as the "Di Bao" supplement came out, the sages retreated, which led to the change of the name of Changping Prefecture. If it weren't for the "Di Bao" supplement, it would not have been so easy to change the name of Changping Prefecture. ”

Zuo Guangdou pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, we have been cautious when we went to the court recently, for fear of being caught by the "Di Bao" Supplement, this is very abnormal, how can we lead the government in the future and maintain the fairness and justice of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Yang Lian also said: "Recently, I heard that the imperial court is going to reopen the court to collect commercial taxes, and I have drafted it three times at home to see how to protect my interests in Jiangnan...... Oh, it's the interests of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangnan. In the past, where there was such a trouble, it was not just to say what you wanted. ”

Ye Xianggao clapped his hands and said: "Yes, it's the supplement of 'Di Bao', let's discuss what to do." ”

Zuo Guangdou said: "Li Chunye, this kid, knows at a glance that he hooked up with a gelding, or replace him." Come on, close the door and let go of the imperial history! ”

Wei Dazhong said: "Mr. Zuo's trick has been tried and tested repeatedly for the Chu Party and the Zhejiang Party, but I am afraid it will not work for Li Chunye." The officials who are now colluding with the gelding are all old cotton -- not afraid of bullets. ”

Yang Lian said: "Then what should I do, I can't beat Li Chunye back to my hometown." ”

Speaking of fighting, everyone remembered the Zuo Shunmen tragedy that year, and couldn't help but tremble.

Gu Dazhang said: "Why don't we also run a newspaper?" ”

The Donglin Party officials gave a thumbs up in unison: "Okay, Master Gu has a good idea." ”

Then the Donglin Party began to fight for power, oh no, it was assigning their own tasks. Because everyone is reporting it now, it seems to be a shortcut to fame, it is simply a shortcut to the end of the south for officials, such as Feng Menglong, but in the "Di Bao" supplement, a flat talk of "The Tragedy of the Laundry House" was remembered by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, if it weren't for the desperate obstruction of the Donglin Party, he would almost have been given the same Jinshi background and entered the court as an official.

After some controversy, Zuo Guangdou was the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Yang Lian was the deputy editor-in-chief, Wei Dazhong was the editor-in-chief of the current political edition, Gu Dazhang was the editor-in-chief of the commentary section, Yuan Huazhong was the editor-in-chief of the social edition, and Zhou Chaorui was the editor-in-chief of the literary and artistic edition. Although their newspaper is basically the same as the gelding's newspaper layout, the Donglin Party will not admit this, and they delude themselves into believing that this is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Donglin Party.

The efficiency of the Donglin Party is very high, whether it is party struggle or controlling public opinion, of course, except for handling practice, because these should be things that should be done by customs and customs, and officials with such a character as the Donglin Party should do more important things. The new newspaper has been arranged, and Ye Xiang waved his pen to write an inscription for the newspaper - "The Wind of Donglin". It's a pity that the geldings did too well to keep secrets, and they didn't get their hands on transcribing and printing. "The Wind of Donglin" only has text and no illustrations, and it looks much inferior to "Di Bao" Supplement, giving people the feeling of an illegal publication.

Zuo Guangdou explained: "The time is too tight, so I have to deal with this issue first. In a few days, a few skilled engravers from Jiangnan will be able to illustrate the newspaper. I really don't understand how geldings print newspapers, but it is said that a few geldings can get an issue of the newspaper in just a few hours when they get into the editorial office of the "Di Bao" Supplement. We've bribed a few eunuchs, but we haven't been able to find out the mystery. ”

Ye Xianggao said: "Printing is secondary, the key is to do it." The gelding dog controlled the channel, and the newspaper was delivered to thousands of households by the post station. Asking the gelding dog to help us deliver the newspaper is estimated to be very difficult. I will talk to him to see if he can directly order the post station to deliver newspapers to us. ”

Yang Lian said: "Lord Ye, there is another big trouble, that is, funds. Open printing costs money, ink costs money, paper costs money, newspapers cost money inside and out, where does this money come from? ”

Ye Xianggao was furious and shouted: "Money, money, money, you all fell into the eyes of money?" We are scholars, and we must show the spirit of scholars, and we must have the bearing to treat money like dung. The gelding dog has a lot of money, so why don't you go to the gelding? ”

Yang Lian muttered: "Anyway, it's not you who advance money, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk......"

Ye Xianggao calmed down his anger, and thought to himself, he couldn't chill the hearts of the people who did things, so he said: "As for the money, don't worry, I will never let you out." At that time, I will call on those who have money to contribute, and those who have money to contribute, and those who have money to contribute, and the funds ...... It may still not be enough. What to do? Or...... By the way, isn't our newspaper facing the Ming Dynasty, we can help the businessmen in Jiangnan to become famous, and they should also contribute a little bit of this fame fee, so they can't always be discredited and don't contribute. You calculate how much the newspaper spends in total, and then stipulate how much money you will receive for a single promotion, so that the income and expenditure will probably be balanced. ”

It seems that the Donglin Party is not unable to do things, for matters involving vital interests, their heads immediately run like a high processor, but when dealing with military affairs, their heads immediately crashed, and they continued to make stupid moves, and they played the Ming Dynasty to death.

------------------

The Donglin Party's newspaper has not yet been made public, and Wei Zhongxian's desk has a copy, which was sent by Ruan Dacheng.

"Zhu Cheng, come and see this thing."

Zhu Cheng took the newspaper and studied it in detail.

After a long time, he put down the newspaper and sighed lightly: "It's finally here, I'm still wondering how long the Donglin Party will endure, and now they have finally fallen into the middle." ”

Wei Zhongxian's face was solemn, and he said, "Why aren't you in a hurry at all?" ”

"Why be in a hurry," Zhu Cheng said with a smile, "it should be the prey that falls into the trap that is in a hurry, not the hunter who is waiting." ”

"Let's hear what's going on."

"Grandpa Wei, do you know why our newspaper is called "Di Bao" Supplement and not any other newspaper? The reason is that we are afraid that others will follow suit and seize the commanding heights of public opinion with us. According to the Ming Dynasty, the General Administration Department manages the Di Bao, and our Di Bao Supplement is a subsidiary product of the Di Bao, that is, the number of pages printed at the back of the Di Bao. Private printing and dissemination of "Di Bao" is subject to the sanctions of the "Da Ming Law". Not only did they set up a new newspaper, but they also spread it publicly, do they think that the "Da Ming Law" is a decoration? ”

Wei Zhongxian suddenly realized, and the case was amazing: "Wonderful, Zhu Cheng, you are really a talent." I will ask Dongchang to seal down the newspaper and arrest the person in charge. ”

"Slow."

"Why?"

"Has Grandpa Wei ever read "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan" in "Zuo Biography"? Why did Uncle Zheng tolerate Gongshu Duan again and again until Gongshu Duan rebelled? That's because of the various evil deeds before Gongshu Duan, which can only be punished slightly, not big. When Gongshu Duan rebelled, Zheng Bo was able to kill him in a grand manner. Now that the evil deeds of their newspaper "The Wind of Donglin" have not been made public, and Grandpa Wei is now seizing the newspaper, what do the civil and military officials think, and what do the people of the Ming Dynasty think? It is better to give in for the time being, and when they go against the grain and Tianyan is angry, wouldn't it be better to give the thunder a blow. ”

Wei Zhongxian's body was shocked, and said: "Fortunately, you are a descendant of the Wei family, and you are helping me, if you go to the side of the Donglin Party, I am afraid that I will die without a place to be buried." ”

Zhu Cheng added: "It's best not to use people from Dongchang in this matter, and let Dali Temple and Shuntianfu come forward." Civil officials fight civil officials, Grandpa Wei stays out of the matter, and if something goes wrong at that time, it won't involve you. ”

"What about public opinion these days?"

"It's okay, I took a look at "The Wind of Donglin", the language is ancient, and it is estimated that people who are not graduates of Guozijian basically can't understand it. Besides, their newspapers can only be distributed inside and outside the capital, and if they want to send them outside, I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult, unless they pass through the Guò post station. However, the post station can only transmit military intelligence and deliver newspapers, and I don't think Wang Zaijin is so bold. ”

"Oh." Wei Zhongxian was relieved at this time.

Zhu Cheng smiled: "However, this newspaper gave me an inspiration, and Grandpa Wei can add another way to make money for the emperor." ”

Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up suddenly, he grabbed Zhu Cheng's hand, and said hurriedly: "What kind of wealth?" ”

Zhu Cheng broke free of Wei Zhongxian's hand and said, "Grace, grace." No matter what Grandpa Wei said, he is also an internal minister, why is there no city government at all. ”

Wei Zhongxian retracted his hand embarrassedly and said: "Hehe, the emperor is anxious about money and food every day, I see it in my eyes and in my heart, and sometimes I am inevitably in a hurry." Okay, let's talk about it, don't fish grandpa's appetite. ”

"At present, the "Di Bao" supplement should be operating at a loss, because the newspaper is delivered free of charge, and paper, ink, and printing all cost money, and the author has to pay for the manuscript. Originally, I wanted to buy newspapers when they became a necessity in everyone's lives, and readers would pay for them, but it would take some time to cultivate the market. Now, I can also make a lot of money through guò advertising. ”

"Advertisement, what's that?"

Zhu Cheng opened "The Wind of Donglin", pointed to the column of "Good Reputation", and said: "This is advertising." ”

Wei Zhongxian looked at the newspaper, and now this was obviously printed later.

"The Donglin Party must have been underfunded to come up with this trick. We can borrow it, how to say that the newspaper with the largest volume in the Ming Dynasty is the "Di Bao" supplement, there must be many people who want to make a name for their products in the newspaper and are willing to spend this money. For example, how do we know which restaurant is the best restaurant in Beijing? It used to rely on word of mouth, but now it can rely on newspapers. Moreover, the "Di Bao" supplement can also leave the "Good Reputation" blank, let the local town guard eunuchs manage it, and print local advertisements, so that the advertisements will be more targeted and can make more money. ”

Wei Zhongxian is a smart person, and he can understand it at one point, and said: "Okay, I'll go to the palace and report the good news to the emperor." Zhu Cheng, I'm very busy, so I won't leave you to eat. ”

Zhu Cheng sighed: "Alas, I can't think of this idea and can't even get a meal, it's really pitiful......"

"You can eat as many meals as you want in the future, I'm afraid your little belly won't fit ......"

Wei Zhongxian's laughter and scolding came from outside the courtyard, and it seemed that he was really a resolute person.
