Chapter 102: Father-in-law's Draft
Zheng He's treasure ship in the Western Ocean has so many doorways, this is the first time I have heard of it! Is this news reliable? ”
In a teahouse in the capital, several students dressed as scholars were talking, and in front of them was the second issue of the Royal Daily.
Because of Jian Ning's improved technology, the newspaper, which was originally intended to be published semi-monthly, has now been changed to a five-day issue. If the hydraulic function is good, then the journal will not be far away.
The newspaper has only been published for a few days, and it has become a rare event in the capital. Twenty words are not much, and less is not much, but it is bearable for the people of the capital. After all, those who can read and write in these years generally have a fairly solid family background, otherwise how can they afford to read?
The first issue of the newspaper sold out in 1,000 copies, and all of them were sold out within three days, which obviously exceeded Jian Ning's expectations. To know. During the Republic of China, the circulation of some medium-sized newspapers was only about 3,000!
"Now it is rumored that His Majesty wants to accept Jin Ling as a concubine, and it should not be wrong to think that these things are inquired from the heavenly family."
"It's weird. Mr. Jin Ling's technique this time is very plain, but it feels more exciting than shooting eagles, which makes me feel immersive. ”
"Zheng He's going to sea is a real thing, so he naturally feels it."
"It's really an accident, I can't imagine that Zheng He's treasure ship is so huge, if I have this huge ship in the Ming Dynasty, why am I afraid of the little widows? Just open the door and hit them! ”
"Do You Know ......"
A scholar lowered his voice, "Your Majesty has opened the sea privately in the name of the royal family. And I heard from my uncle that His Majesty seems to be intent on opening the sea in its entirety, not in the name of the royal family, but in the name of the dynasty. I heard that the benefits of sea trade are quite huge, that the small country of Dongying has a lot of silver and gold, and my Ming exchange ratio is different, we sell it with goods, and the silver earned back to Daming actually has one or two percent of the space profit......"
The ancients didn't understand the meaning of bad scissors, but that didn't prevent them from understanding. Such a clear account, not to mention these students who have read poetry and books, even a merchant who walks the streets and alleys can understand it.
"And do you find out? Since His Majesty's private trade, there have been fewer pirates...... I heard from those who came back from the Wa Kingdom that they needed our Ming things, but we didn't even allow tribute, so we had to come and grab them. Now that the sea trade has opened again, there is naturally no need to take the risk of offending the country. ”
"I've heard about it, too, so it's not a good thing to ban the sea? I see that Mr. Jin Ling suddenly wrote about Zheng He, maybe he was preparing for this. ”
"It would be nice if it were like that."
A scholar said, "I have heard that many people have been favored because of Your Majesty's actions. The wharf is the most intuitive, and if you have a job to do, you can support your family. In addition, this matter involves a lot of work, and it requires a lot of manpower. In order to meet the needs of the heavenly family, many places began to hire people vigorously, and the people who had no land finally had a way out. ”
"I think this newspaper will be a big hit in the future. I've heard that if this royal daily newspaper is completed, it will also allow private newspapers to be run by the people. ”
Everyone was shocked, "Is this serious?" ”
"It's hard to say whether it's true or false, but I've only heard that there is a discussion in the court."
Everyone was silent for a while, and after a long while, they said: "I think this newspaper will become the throat of the voice, how can the princes of the court and the central government not understand?" However, the two issues caused a sensation in Beijing, and if it were me, I would also want such a thing that can speak out. ”
"Hehe, everything in the court is delicate, and I can't figure it out to the people. However, the newspaper allows anyone to submit, and once hired, there is a generous fee for the pen. We are waiting for the children of the poor family to not only have a lyrical place but also a way to eat and wear, good, good. ”
"I don't mention the pen fee, you and I are always safe from food and clothing. The key is that you don't have to go to great lengths to participate in those poetry meetings in the future, just submit your manuscript directly. ”
In ancient times, fame was emphasized, although in the Ming Dynasty, the recommendation system had long been eliminated by the imperial examination, but if a person has fame, there are always countless benefits. But in ancient times, the news was blocked, and there were too few stages to play, and these literati and artists had to hold some poetry parties, tea parties, and even go to the Qinglou to spread their talents.
The advent of the newspaper was like a light that broke the lifeless situation of the empire, and the time soon entered September. The newspaper came out, the sales were increasing day by day, and all kinds of good news made Zhengde happy. However, the good times did not last long, and in September, news of a rebellion came from Sichuan. Baoning people Liao Hui, Yan Benshu, and Lan Tingrui led the people of northern Sichuan to hold an uprising, attacking the city and plundering the land, and the people near and far echoed, and it didn't take long for it to grow to as many as 100,000 people. Several leaders of the rebellion even proclaimed themselves kings and set up a set of teams, which had the intention of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty.
Just when Zhengde was in a hurry, the little prince of Tatar led his troops to Fuyan Suisai and arrived at Xinxing Fort with light horses, but the deputy chief soldier Hou Xun sent troops but was surrounded. The general Zhou Cheng and the commander Yue Lian were also surrounded, and they were finally killed, and they were about to take revenge, but the little prince plundered the horses and broke the siege. Before the ministers of the Ming Dynasty could catch their breath, this guy came again, fought back into the guerrillas, and grabbed a lot of things and went back.
This can blow up Zhengde.
This little prince has been doing this bird thing since his debut. When Zhengde's grandfather was alive, this guy came three times; When Zhengde's father was in charge, this person came more diligently, and he came as many as 5 times.
Now that he's on the throne, this bastard is here again. The rebellion in Jiangxi and Sichuan has not subsided, and this guy has come to add to the blockage, and Zhengde's mood can be imagined.
At the moment, he didn't care about grounding Liu Jin, and released this guy to preside over the overall situation.
What insight can a eunuch have? But Zhengde is not confused, in this situation, some people take him for not living in the Forbidden City, losing morality and other things to do things, when will he not let the dog go at this time?
So, Liu's father-in-law, who had been grounded for many days, swaggered out again. The first thing that came out was to ask people to submit an article to the Royal Daily, and the signature was his own, Tang Yin looked at the manuscript and couldn't help but be angry, "What bullshit?!" Can the people live and rebel?! It's not that he, Liu Jin, is too greedy and wants the magistrate to pay tribute, the land is scraped too tightly, can the people not rebel? ! ”
Jian Ning drank tea with a blank face.
"Liu Jin, this gelding is really shameless!"
Hu Yanshu was also angry when he looked at this thing, "I didn't ask or check, I just put on the hat of a traitor, and I had to sit together, if it was me, how dare I put down the butcher's knife?" ”
The two of them looked at Jian Ning, and when they saw her expression, they couldn't help but say, "Yun Shu, has Your Majesty been going to you these days?" Why are you ......?"
Jian Ning shook her head, "Now that there is a rebellion in all directions, and the little prince is knocking again, what else does Your Majesty have the intention of coming to me?" Even if I come, I will be scolding the heavens and the earth, and there is no reason at all, so what's the use of me saying it? ”
"Do you just watch Liu Jin corrupt the dynasty?"
"He didn't lose on the first day, so what's the matter."
"You!"
Tang Yin's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that Jian Ning would say such cold-blooded words, he said in disbelief: "Yun Shu, do you know how desperate those people are to pick up hoes to fight against the officers and soldiers?" ”
"If it is not broken, it will not stand."
Jian Ning's eyes were terrifyingly indifferent, "Our Majesty just went too smoothly, so the people of the world have to suffer." ”
A few people were gloomy. The emperor has no intention of taking the throne, which is the most terrible thing in the world. Although the Son of Heaven has been a little diligent these days, he has not experienced anything at all. Now that the war is raging, I panicked, and I can't do anything but curse.
"He also wants to make a difference, and he wants to drive the expedition himself."
Jian Ning smiled and sighed: "Your Majesty is courageous, but it's a pity that his life has been too smooth, and the first emperor left too suddenly, and he couldn't teach him anything for the sake of Zhongxing Daming during his reign." At this time, perhaps His Majesty has understood that this Son of Heaven is not something he should do if he wants to, and he should not do it if he thinks wrong. When he is comfortable, the people of the world will suffer. Only when he suffers, the people of the world will be submissive. ”
"Now the little prince is not worried, but this Sichuan ......"
Tang Yin looked at Liu Jin's manuscript, "If he really does this, he will force people to death." ”
"That's all he means."
Jian Ning disdainful, "At this time, don't forget to pit me, that's all." ”
Hu Yanshu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood, "Yes." It's good to talk about such things in the court, so why publish a newspaper to announce it to the world? ”
"I've been on the same page with him for a long time. This newspaper says that it belongs to His Majesty, but the person in charge is you, Uncle Tang, and my relationship with you is extraordinary. So in Liu Jin's opinion, this newspaper is mine. If I don't publish his article, he can say that I have the heart of a villain, and I use public weapons for private purposes, which is contrary to our original intention of running a newspaper; If we publish it, we will be ridiculed by the world, and if we don't say that such bullshit articles are accepted, we may think that we are afraid of Liu Jin. ”
Jian Ning took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "It's just that Gonggong Liu seems to have forgotten that he will use this newspaper, so won't I?" Hehe...... Let's catch up all night, and when we encounter major national events, we will add an issue, but I want to see what Liu Jin has the ability to provoke this public opinion war! ”
On the second day, the people of the capital were surprised to find that the royal daily newspaper had been added, but when they saw the contents, they were angry.
What kind of bullshit is Liu Jin?! What such a person writes can also be in the newspaper? What's even more outrageous is that he actually wants to impose the law of joint sitting on those traitors?! This is a lot of water in the brain, right? This is to force people to death! Do you want to have a birthday again?!
I also heard that Liu Jin has been quite beautiful in the court these days, and His Majesty has the intention of forgiving and reuse, and for a while, the sergeant in Beijing has a lot of discussions, isn't this Mr. Jinling convinced?
The battle between Liu Jin and Jian Ning is no longer a secret text in the capital, and others have long regarded the Royal Daily as Jian Ning's thing. Therefore, today's publication of Liu Jin's article will naturally make people think that Jian Ning is soft.
This made a group of book lovers angry! We support you so much, how can you fall to the gelding?!
But before they could come to settle the accounts, the royal daily newspaper was published again on the second day, and the first page prominently published the words of Jinling Baixiaosheng, and the title was even more shocking: The Sichuan rebellion is like a father-in-law's castration: On the growth history of a eunuch.
