Chapter Seventy-One: Good News

Yuan Keding has always taken great pains to put Lao Yuan on the throne of the emperor, he thinks that he has leveled most of his opponents, and the only thing that makes him feel like a fish in his throat is the academic world. These guys write articles every day, criticizing Jun Xian endlessly, and they also point the spearhead of attack at Yuan Shikai's shortcomings in power over the years, 21 articles, and even the betrayal of Emperor Guangxu.

In the face of surging public opinion, Yuan Dagongzi was at a loss, and he also found some royal literati, including Yang Du, to ask them to write articles to launch a counterattack, but with little success, they were also scolded for being bloody.

Zhang Tinglan's scolding of Yang Shuqing appeared in the newspaper, Yuan Keding seemed to have suddenly found a savior, and wanted to beg him to show him a clear way and completely regain control of public opinion, but Zhang Tinglan suggested that he fight head-on, but Yuan Keding has long lost confidence.

"Tinglan, it's not like I didn't think about debating with them and starting a debate in the newspaper, and the results were all big defeats and losses, so I wanted you to give me a better way."

"The eldest prince, these literati are not one or two, if you don't have enough available talents in your hands, with my ability, I can't debate them to death. In my opinion, we might as well use administrative power to silence them, such as formulating regulations on press and publications, eliminating those small publishing houses that talk nonsense, and then imposing press control on large publishing houses. ”

News management is a common tool in all countries, and China is now fragmented, and all kinds of voices are flooding society, which is not conducive to centralization, so news control is imperative. After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, Yuan Keding also fell into deep thought, but he shook his head again.

"Tinglan, if you do this, I'm afraid that some people will say that we are suppressing freedom of speech, which will only attract greater opposition!"

Zhang Tinglan looked at Yuan Keding, who had an embarrassed face, and was also very disdainful in his heart, this eldest prince typically wanted to eat, but was afraid of being hot. has the heart to be the emperor, but does not have the courage and courage to be an iron-fisted and arbitrary, it is no wonder that Lao Yuan only dreamed of being an emperor for eighty-three days, and Yuan Keding perfectly interpreted the word pit father.

"The eldest son, freedom of speech is not about saying whatever you want, they are responsible for their own words." Zhang Tinglan said this, but saw that Yuan Keding was still hesitant, and he couldn't support the wall with mud at all.

"Eldest prince, I still have a way to cover my ears and steal the bell, I don't know if you want to listen to it?"

"What's the solution, might as well talk about it!"

"The eldest prince, if you can't control the mouths of the literati, you can cover the eyes of the president!"

Yuan Keding's eyes suddenly lit up: "I'm afraid this won't work, my father has to read the newspaper every day, and it has become a habit." ”

"It's all about letting the president see what he wants to see, so why don't you do something in the newspaper?" Zhang Tinglan seemed to have heard that Yuan Keding had specially printed a bunch of fake newspapers in order to persuade Yuan Shikai, and when Lao Yuan saw that all of them supported his accession to the throne, he was overjoyed, and as a result, the newspapers scolding him outside were still flying all over the sky.

Yuan Keding's brows furrowed, he turned around on the ground a few times, suddenly smiled, patted Zhang Tinglan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Tinglan, your idea is very good, go back and print a few newspapers separately for my father, so that he can't see those nasty articles." ”

The more Yuan Keding thought about it, the happier he became: "Tinglan, this method is too good, you just stay in Beijing, and you will be responsible for giving me advice, and when the president is promoted one step higher, you will be the prince's assistant!" ”

In the face of the prince's promise, Zhang Tinglan did not have the slightest joy, this guy was completely joking with his father, he didn't want to think about the emperor's throne was so easy to sit on, his father drove the orphans and widows down with his own hands, if the hidden dangers were not eliminated, even if he became the emperor, he would not be able to sit steadily.

Yuan Keding didn't care about this, and went directly to print a special newspaper for Lao Yuan, Yuan Shikai was a traitor all his life, but in the end he was fooled by his son, it's really interesting to think about.

However, Zhang Tinglan soon couldn't laugh, and his remarks were praised by many people after they first appeared in the newspaper, and Yang Shuqing's reputation was discredited overnight. But then things reversed, and the newspapers began to appear overwhelmingly with articles that were unfavorable to Zhang Tinglan, and these people even involved Lao Yuan.

They said that how could a young man know so many foreign stories, he could say everything with his hands, and he also knew Yang Shuqing's family situation, it was obviously premeditated, it was investigated in advance, and then instigated a young man to charge into battle. Immediately afterwards, they said that Zhang Tinglan's advocacy of science and engineering education and hard work was actually a tool that made everyone mute, deaf, and like a cow and horse, he could only work and not think.

It is a foolish measure in the new era, who wants the people to become stupid, it is obviously Yuan Shikai, President Yuan, he wants to be the emperor, he is afraid of the public opinion of the world, so he wants to use a young man to slander Professor Yang Shuqing and slander new ideas.

Soon, these statements flooded the newspapers, and the focus of the attack changed from Zhang Tinglan, a nobody, to Yuan Shikai. Zhang Tinglan and others were also stunned after seeing these reports.

"Brother Tinglan, what do these guys mean, it's a sin to be emotionally knowledgeable, they just play from this infinitely, it's just unreasonable!"

Zhang Xueliang looked at these newspapers, and he was also dumbfounded, these readers are too powerful, Zhang Tinglan won the first game, but then he was moved back, they already disdained to deal with Zhang Tinglan Such an unknown junior, they turned on all their firepower and directly attacked Yuan Shikai.

"Han Qing, don't you understand, I told Yang Shuqing at the beginning, you can't beat the opponent in business, just stink the opponent morally, they use this method now!"

"Indeed, they don't say whether the content of your speech is right or wrong, they say that someone instigated it, and this has become a conspiracy, Yang Shuqing's guy has also been brought along and become a victim, I am afraid that after a while, he will be able to come out and deceive people like a dog."

The reason why things have become like this is that Zhang Tinglan poked the sore spot of these scholars, Zhang Tinglan questioned Yang Shuqing's method of doing scholarship, and cited a large number of examples to fight back, in fact, how many scholars are like this now, they rely on giving a few specious examples, and then hastily draw conclusions.

If Zhang Tinglan's statement is widely accepted by society, these scholars will have to investigate statistics every day, consult academic journals, learn about the latest research results, and use complex mathematical models to analyze data, which is too troublesome, and they do not want to suffer from this.

In addition, Zhang Tinglan advocated science and engineering, if the state really did this, it would mean that the education funds should be tilted towards science and engineering, which undoubtedly moved the cheese of the literati, and they were absolutely unwilling to accept it.

Of course, Zhang Tinglan proposed that what they hated the most was that they still couldn't meet the standards of the old morality, and if they wanted to scold people, they had to ensure that they had no problems, and if there was a problem with morality, how could they scold people. In addition, Zhang Tinglan has exposed the shortcomings of Western society, which is simply digging up the ancestral graves of these scholars and making them almost crazy.

In fact, literati such as Yang Shuqing have always existed since ancient times, and their method is very simple, that is, to establish a perfect image first, and then to compare the reality and say how dark the society is. Before the Opium War, they used the Xia and Shang dynasties as a benchmark, in fact, everyone knows that the three dynasties with slavery can really have so many advantages, can they really surpass the previous dynasties!

It's obviously a joke, but it's just that these Qingliu celebrities take advantage of people's reluctance to expose the shortcomings of their ancestors, and even the emperor has to be led by their noses. And after the Opium War, it is obviously outdated to talk about the rule of three generations.

So they make the West the perfect target, and then they just pick up on the dark side of China, and say what you think the West is, regardless of whether the West is really as good as they say it is. This kind of work is so simple that there is no need to think about it at all, because China is backward, so the more they scold, the greater their reputation, and the more they talk excessively, the more they can get support.

Zhang Tinglan obviously saw their methods through and exposed them, and as a result, he touched the sore spot of these literati, ancient China was not so unbearable, and Western society was not so good, which made these people how to scold people and how to eat together. Cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing their parents, after these readers realized the lethality of Zhang Tinglan's views.

They couldn't sit still, so they launched a massive crusade, vowing to block Zhang Tinglan's arguments to ensure their authority and jobs.

"Han Qing, Lao Yuan can't help these literati, we have no choice, but we all have to pay attention, one day, if we really want to be in charge of the party, we must not be fooled by these scholars, we must really consider most of the low-level people in this country, and we must find ways to increase their well-being!"

Zhang Xueliang nodded vigorously, and while he was talking, Lao Zhang walked in with a smile, still holding a document in his hand, he slammed it on the table, and said with a smile: "Tinglan, take a look, the British have agreed to cooperate with us!" ”

After Zhu Erdian sent a notice to the British Consulate in Mukden, they soon went to inspect several factories mentioned by Zhang Tinglan and talked with Wang Yongjiang.

After Zhu Erdian got the report, he quickly contacted China and promoted this cooperation, the first batch of orders was as much as 500,000 pounds, and Britain promised to provide a batch of machines to Mukden to help expand the canning factory, so that the output would exceed one million as soon as possible, and also promised to help a power plant!

When Zhang Tinglan saw this, her face showed joy, and she finally had a chance to show her strength!
