Chapter 123: Revisiting Dantu and Listening to the Stories (First Update!) )
"It's ready, serve!"
Li Xiangjun turned around and ordered, and in a moment, two beautiful girls came to Zhu Youzhen with their tall feet.
And Li Xiangjun came with hot water in person and squatted in front of Zhu Youzhen: "Please Your Majesty raise your feet." ”
Zhu Youzhen didn't expect to be able to enjoy the foot bath service here, so he raised his feet, only to feel a pair of warm jade hands touching his already frozen ankles, and his whole body felt numb as if touching electricity.
The water was a little hot, but it was bearable, just to make the blood that had solidified in the snow flow again, Zhu Youzhen only felt that his whole body was hot, and he dropped the song and glanced back, only to see that Li Xiangjun was covering the water layer by layer on his feet, and his focused expression made it easy to be fascinated by it under the blinking eyelashes.
However, Zhu Youzhen's hunger in his stomach at this time was also getting stronger and stronger, and when Li Xiangjun drained the water on Zhu Youzhen's feet, Zhu Youzhen couldn't wait to go to the temple to sacrifice his five internal organs, and helplessly, he had to wait for Shi Kefa to taste him before he could taste it.
The fragrant soup dumplings floated into the noses of Yan Yingyuan and the three of them, who were temporarily guarding the door.
Looking at it again, a group of people from Yingying Yanyan circled around His Majesty the Emperor, from washing feet to cleaning hands and rinsing mouths, Feng Houdun couldn't help but say, "I miss my little Fluttershy!" ”
"One day we can bring a beautiful wife and concubine, children and grandchildren, and enjoy the joy of family and Dunlun, isn't that the reason why we joined the Guards, maybe in a few years when the world is peaceful, we can also get beautiful people to hold wine, and beautiful women to sleep together!"
Chen Mingyu said with a smile.
And Feng Houdun replied without thinking about it: "Then when the time comes, I have to take another concubine!" ”
"Can you have some fun?"
Yan Yingyuan slapped Feng Houdun with a smile, and hurriedly stood up again: "Don't look at Your Majesty who is like an ordinary person on the way, but his words and deeds are always looking at the northern country, it can be seen that His Majesty is also worried about the future situation, it may be rare to have peace in the next few years, if you can really meet the peaceful year again in your lifetime, it is enough to be a farmer!" ”
"Liu Mazi is here!"
Yan Yingyuan was talking, and Feng Houdun hurriedly pulled him.
I saw Liu Jingting dressed in cloth clothes and shoulders full of snow along the gravel paved road to Zhu Youzhen.
"Grass people Liu Jingting has seen Your Majesty!"
"Get up, I just listened to your story, it's very powerful, I intend to recruit you as a minister of the Hanlin Academy, and be the mouthpiece of the world for me, what do you think?"
Zhu Youzhen asked.
"Wei Chen doesn't understand what His Majesty's mouthpiece means, Wei Chen's mouth is just telling jokes and telling stories, and the right and wrong in the court are really unclear", Liu Jingting was also nervous in his heart, although he was still calm on the surface, but when he heard that His Majesty actually wanted to recruit himself as a minister of the Hanlin Academy, he was surprised and excited in his heart.
"I didn't let you be the messenger to me, what I want is for you to continue to tell stories, continue to make up stories and make up jokes, but you have to tell the people according to my intentions, the officials are all using my words to fool the people, and you Liu Jingting is quite famous among the people, I believe that you will definitely not misinterpret my meaning to deceive the people of the world."
Zhu Youzhen's meaning is very clear, he just wants Liu Jingting to be his own propaganda tongue, at present, the printing industry in the south of the Yangtze River is developed, and the literacy rate is relatively high, but the power of public opinion is still controlled in the hands of the literati who control the pen, Zhu Youzhen has to take back the right of public opinion, in the future, whether the people's will can be used for themselves, all depends on whether they can control public opinion.
And Liu Jingting's popularity among the people and his status as a poor family determine that Liu Jingting is suitable to be his mouthpiece.
"In this case, please instruct Your Majesty, if you can do a little benefit to the world, my Liu Jingting will be worth living in this life."
Liu Jingting noticed that Li Xiangjun was also here, but he didn't mention it at all, but Zhu Youzhen went directly over and grabbed Li Xiangjun's hand, but unexpectedly Li Xiangjun instinctively took off his hand, but suddenly realized that he seemed to be disrespectful in doing so, and hurriedly apologized: "Your Majesty forgives me, the slave family is just, just." ”
Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, waved his hand, signaled that Li Xiangjun didn't have to explain anymore, and then pointed to Li Xiangjun to Liu Jingting: "This is the famous Qin Huai's Li Xiangjun, nicknamed the incense fan pendant, I met with him by chance in Dantukou, and today I met you Liu Jingting by chance in a small teahouse, the two of you are also fated with me, and I also live up to the fateful people, you Liu Jingting ate the Quartet to inquire about the news and make up stories to tell jokes, this bowl of rice, and Li Xiangjun is a celebrity who has made countless gentry and heroes, and the two of you will open a newspaper for me, which is exactly a fit, Moreover, the two of you are not from a famous family, so naturally you don't have to worry about not being the master of the people and being the mouthpiece of the gentry; As for what a newspaper is, I'll wait for me to eat first, and I'll tell you as I eat. ”
Li Xiangjun couldn't help but feel surprised, she thought that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen asked her to go back to Dantu to wait for him, she really wanted to go to Wushan with her, although she was only a new acquaintance with the current emperor, but she also knew that the king's order could not be violated, and just waited to accept such an arrangement, even if His Majesty wanted to touch her hand just now, she only instinctively refused, and immediately regretted it.
But what Li Xiangjun didn't expect was that His Majesty Zhu Youzhen may be just coveted by women like other men, but he actually wants her to do things for the court.
Although he is famous, Li Xiangjun also knows that he is just a person in the sound field for fun, so he plays, sings and dances, how could he have thought that he could also do business for the court.
It's just that Li Xiangjun doesn't know what a newspaper is, but she can hear from Zhu Youzhen's words that it should no longer be a joke.
Liu Jingting has never heard of the newspaper, but in his opinion, it may be similar to the Di newspaper, and what it is can only wait for His Majesty in front of him to tell in detail.
Although Zhu Youzhen was a science student in his previous life, he also participated in the student union in his college days, ran a college magazine and a military training bulletin, and generally knew how to run a newspaper.
These things are now called the media, that is, the medium of news transmission, in fact, there are also things of this nature in the current Ming Dynasty, that is, the current political stories of Di Bao and Liu Jingting through storytelling.
It's just that Daming's media dissemination does not rely on profit-making, and Liu Jingting's storytelling is only occasionally said once or twice.
What Zhu Youzhen wants to do is to promote the prosperity of the cultural industry and make the circulation of information faster by establishing a newspaper that has only begun to become popular in modern times, and to control the public opinion of the entire society.
At least before the rise of the Internet in the future, as long as Zhu Youzhen controls the media, it is equivalent to controlling the right to speak.
Zhu Youzhen explained what a newspaper is, and the difference between a newspaper and a newspaper, and even took a piece of rice paper to make a simple layout design.
"In terms of printing, I can help you with Shi Kefa, who is in charge of the inner court, and I can also ask Wang Chengen of Dongchang and Wu Mengming, the commander of Jinyiwei, to assign some people who are good at finding out news to help you, if you are an editor, you should recruit some good articles yourself, and if you are an editor, you should know a lot of painters, how to sell them, and I will tell you about it, the homeless people and beggars on the street can be used, even children!"
