Chapter 31: The Newspaper Comes Out (Part II)

At this moment, the whole city of Beijing seems to have returned to the hottest Shuzhong from the season that is about to enter late autumn because of a newspaper.

The whole city of Beijing is silent in this lively event, in fact, to say that there is really a great happy event? No. The common people only learned what someone said, and did not get any practical benefit. The common people are so simple, they are all silent in this inexplicable excitement.

The common people are excited, the readers are speechless, and the other group of bureaucrats are quite depressed!

The emperor's entire newspaper seemed to be deliberately aimed at them, the officials, and the position was completely on the side of the common people, setting up them as enemies, and even shouting directly in the newspaper, 'The emperor is on their side, down with the court moths or something.' This kind of writing, this way of reporting, is completely unheard of and unheard of for these bureaucrats of the 17th century.

Although it looks vulgar and even a little unbearable, looking at the mud legs who are excited outside, the effect is extremely amazing.

The streets of the whole city of Beijing are lively, which belongs to the peasant class. Of course, it is not without the scholarly class, the scholars are also reading newspapers, and various restaurants and teahouses are also talking about it.

At first, the readers were curious, how could they write about the big things and sell them? Of course, there are always people who get the news in advance, and there will be such a thing today, and after everyone exchanges information, they know that this is indeed made by the emperor. From then on, the news of the government will be made public.

Many scholars think this is good, and it is a good policy, because for the scholars, their only purpose is to break into the government and the opposition, and it is very beneficial for them to be able to understand the government and politics in advance.

People who can read in this era will never be too poor, too poor to read at all, 5 yuan of newspaper money is nothing to them at all, at first he picked up the newspaper and looked at the vernacular text full of disdain, but this does not prevent them from understanding the news inside, and after reading it, they feel that this vernacular text is simple and clear is not unacceptable. There are also 'many' people who praise the clear record of the meeting matters in the court and the speeches of the emperor and the ministers in it, saying that it is understandable that the vernacular is used in the newspaper.

The emperor also asked questions in the vernacular, which was simple and understood, and the application of the complaint was more rigorous. Of course, these are only 'many' of the minority, and most of them still have rave reviews about it, saying that it is Sven sweeping the floor and so on... In particular, the main sellers and target customers of newspapers are not actually them, but those who can't read a word. Telling these Li people, who don't know anything about the affairs of the government, has aroused strong dissatisfaction and condemnation from a large number of learned people.

Of course, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and condemnation is condemnation, and this still does not affect the actual appearance of a large number of scholars in the newspapers, especially the remarks in the newspapers that the emperor mentions the 'main direction of future politics' and the remarks that they want to engage in immigration and promote new crops overseas in the face of "persistent natural disasters" have aroused strong reactions from some learned people.

Some people say that this is groundless, but some people strongly praise the emperor's point of view, the country has no trivial matters, and cannot wait for things to happen to deal with them, and there must be a prevention plan, which is like dealing with major national affairs. In short, there are mixed reviews and great debates. This is the genuine content. In addition to this, there is also the overseas civilization that the emperor talks about in the genuine version, which attracts the most attention.

In addition, the biggest highlight of the whole newspaper is the Sakaki column of "News News" on the reverse side, which simply ignites the flame of heated discussion among scholars. In an era dominated by literati, 'judging' has always been the most desirable stage for literati, just as samurai aspire to the stage of competitive fighting. Judging others is the pursuit of every learned person, (otherwise what is it for to be an official?) If a judgment of great value is given, it is as if the whole person can be divine and great.

Here is a brief explanation of the specific contents of Li Jiancheng's newspaper, which is 2 open, which is about the same size as a normal newspaper in modern society. There are four pages on the page, and on the front board is the heading "National Politics", and the subheading is "Records of the First Meeting of the Apocalypse", and the entire content of the First National Council of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is recorded below.

The next few sub-headings are the guidelines of the councils, the reasons for the necessity of promoting a new type of agricultural plan, and the various instructions and emphasises of the emperor. Among them, there is the matter of foreign civilization emphasized by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and there are quotations about Yang Ling in it, which the Apocalypse has made a very high praise!

This is a board with almost all the content written on the front, and the negative side is not about national politics. On the reverse side, there is a big headline of 'News New Things', the first of which is the deeds of Xue Ling and the three scholars, a very controversial event, the time, place and people are clearly written, and the title is also written by Li Jiancheng, 'Who insulted the reader?' 'A few big words.

The details of the whole thing are written very clearly, most of the pages are long, Wang An is very helpful, and the three scholars have almost been checked to the bottom, and their names are well known in the newspaper.

The next edition is the explanatory version of the newspaper, the main content of which is an advertisement in addition to Li Jiancheng's explanation, which declares the superior performance of the newspaper's printing press, claims that it can print a large number of books, and will soon sell all kinds of books of good quality and low price. In fact, I have to talk about the cost of Li Jiancheng's newspaper, the main cost of the newspaper is paper, although Li Jiancheng has improved, but the cost of a newspaper is still 8 yuan at the current level of ability, but Li Jiancheng's newspaper only sells 5 articles, which is equivalent to saying that Li Jiancheng will lose more than 3 layers for every newspaper printed. The 50,000 copies printed by Li Jiancheng in the first edition of the Daming Magazine are equivalent to a loss of 150,000 yuan. Therefore, in order to make up for the shortfall of the newspaper, it can only earn back the cost by hard swiping books and finding sponsors to advertise.

The last topic of the newspaper is the most interesting, it is a question and answer section, and the content in it is a question from Li Jiancheng!

The title goes like this: There is a pool in Eichi, and it has a drain and an inlet. Two and a half hour pools can be filled with a single water inlet, and three and a half hour pools can be drained with a single drain pipe. Q, if the water in the pool is empty at the beginning and the inlet and drain are opened at the same time, will the pool be full after a few hours?

The box for the answer is at the bottom, and it is required to write down the results and the conclusion of the calculation, cut the paper and send it to the newspaper office, and then the emperor will check it himself, and the person who answers correctly will have a mysterious reward!

Li Jiancheng came up with such a tricky father's application, Li Jiancheng often encountered it when he was studying, he hated it, but now he uses it to pit the Ming Dynasty! This is a bit of a complicated calculation, but the question is that the time to fill the water is not the xy of the inlet and outlet displacement. Of course, it is also very difficult for Li Jiancheng, who has forgotten all the primary school culture, to review the math textbooks he brought, so Li Jiancheng himself has to calculate for half a day to get the result, he uses fractions to calculate, and the result is that the pool is flooded 2/35 per hour, and the timing is about 17 and a half hours to fill, that is, eight and a half hours plus a quarter of an hour! Li Jiancheng frowned Zou Is this too difficult, I just don't know what method the Ming Dynasty people want to use to calculate, whatever! This is looking for talents, let's start with the rare ones! No, it's making it easier.

In the most prosperous street in Beijing, there are two old people sitting opposite each other in a teahouse, these two people are naturally famous people, one of them is 61 years old, he is the famous Ye Xianggao, the real leader of the Donglin Party, he is different from Yang Ling, Zuo Guangdou, these popular leaders of the young faction, Ye Xianggao is absolutely respected in the Donglin Party is a truly recognized leader.

Ye Xianggao himself is also a great figure, he is very fair, and the early Donglin Party people are far less corrupt than in the later period. However, the foundation of political hostility has been very serious since the early days, and even figures like Ye Xianggao and Zhao Nanxing have used Jingcha to expelle a large number of people from other parties and factions, and the concept of not allowing dissent is very serious!

And sitting opposite him is the current cabinet minister Han Kuang, Han Kuang's qualifications are naturally regarded as a veteran figure in the Donglin Party. It's just that Han Kuang is also a very interesting character, he is not confined to Yunni, in Li Jiancheng's words, he is very tactful, although this person is a member of the Donglin Party, he gets along very well with the ministers of the Zhejiang Party. Moreover, when the Donglin Party expelled Fang Congzhe, someone took advantage of the residual power of the red pill case to try to vent his anger and wanted to kill him (Fang Congzhe was also present when Li Kezhuo entered the red pill, so he was implicated. However, because Han Kuang actually played the whole story of Chen Jinyao, thus protecting Fang Congzhe, the first assistant and the titular elder of the Zhejiang Party, and did not cause a major injustice, it can be seen that he has public and private affairs, and he is a righteous person.

These two people were sitting opposite each other at this time, and they were also holding newspapers in their hands, Ye Xianggao looked at the newspaper and suddenly said, "Where did this majesty know about overseas civilizations?" ”

Ye Xianggao himself is also a person who is not bound by cloud mud, and in his life records, there are deeds of his courtesy to the Italian missionary Matteo Ricci.

That was when Ye Xianggao was the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites in Beijing, he first got acquainted with Matteo Ricci and learned Go skills with Matteo Ricci. In the 35th year of Wanli (1607), after Ye Xianggao was promoted to the first assistant of the cabinet, he entertained Matteo Ricci in his private residence in Beijing, and once again formed a deep friendship with Matteo Ricci through Go. In his book "Matteo Ricci's Chinese Notes", Matteo Ricci recorded the game of Go. It is said that these texts are the first time in European history that Chinese Go has been recorded.

Compared with others, Ye Xianggao knew better about the knowledge of those foreigners, and he was very much in favor of the emperor's banner of friendship and respect for foreign cultures.

Han Kuang laughed when he heard Ye Xianggao's words and said, "I don't know what to do, our young man is mysterious!" ”

Han Kuang said this, and after a while, he said again: "What does Ye Gong think of this newspaper?" ”

It seems that Han Kuang has such a quirk and likes to ask other people's thoughts everywhere, Ye Xianggao is naturally also familiar with Han Kuang's personality, he said with a smile: "Gao, it's really high!" A piece of paper, the people's experience. What is the most important thing for the emperor since ancient times? Gather the hearts of the people! An emperor without the will of the people is like a ship without oars, even if it is not sinkable, it cannot be done. Only the emperor who has won the hearts of the people can exert his strength. Now that the new emperor has been on the throne for less than half a month, he has won the hearts of the people of the world with just a newspaper, and not only that, but also got a sharp sword, which is really extraordinary for the young son of heaven! ”

Han Kuang nodded when he listened, but halfway Han Kuang said, "Ye Gong just thinks that's the case?" ”

Ye Xianggao smiled, it seemed that he couldn't hide anything, Ye Xianggao said: "It's just that I don't know who is the one who is 'sparse' under His Majesty, it is really capable of the left world to come up with such a wonderful plan!" ”

Han Kuang nodded silently, and he said again: "Then who does Ye Gong think this person is?" And where! ”

Ye Xianggao said: "I heard that His Majesty was rescued by a master outside the palace, where is this person now?" ”

Han Kuang shook his head and said, "It is indeed extraordinary to say that he is a master. Ye Gong, the iron elephant in front of the Imperial Palace, didn't see it, this thing is really far beyond imagination! And this time, His Majesty went out of the palace and stayed in the workshop for three days, and then improved the printing machine and made this newspaper again. Terror is the shadow of this man! ”

Ye Xianggao nodded, and then shook his head and said: "This person has such a great talent and hides his head and tail, I don't know how to explain it, His Majesty is still young and upright, and this person is so terrifying, I am afraid that His Majesty will be influenced by him." ”

Han Kuang nodded, and he also said, "That's exactly what I'm worried about!" ”

Ye Xianggao shook his head, Han Kuang laughed again at this moment, his eyes lit up and suddenly said, "Is Ye Gong willing to be a soldier, but now there are many opportunities......
