Chapter 100: The Newspaper Comes Out
If it is a gift from the Son of Heaven, this magnificence ......"
Tang Yin, who was openly pushed out of the world by the Son of Heaven, no longer has to hide it. Gonggong Liu ate the melon again, and now he is trembling with fright, how can he still have the heart to find Jian Ning's bad luck again?
So Tang Yin can finally come to the door in person and visit Jian Ning.
It is always a joy for old people to meet in different places, and when she learned that Tang Yin and his wife were coming, Jian Ning had people prepare wine and food early, ready to have a drink with the old man.
"Uncle Tang, auntie, you are here."
Jian Ning happily welcomed people into the door, "I don't dare to look at you these days, and if it's rude, I still look at my uncle and aunt Haihan." ”
"Where?"
Tang Yin wrote three books in a row, all of which were big sellers, and the name of the Peach Blossom Fairy is now popular all over the south of the Yangtze River. Now that he has won the appreciation of the Son of Heaven, I want him to come forward to report the matter to the people's mansion, and the depression of the past has dissipated, and it is the time to be energetic.
The spirit of the people has become younger, and the demeanor of the celebrities and gentlemen in the laughter and conversation can be seen at a glance, and the demeanor is chic.
Jian Ning looked at Tang Yin and said secretly in her heart: "That's right, this is in line with the image of the four great talents." ”
"You are having a hard time in Beijing, Hu Yanshu has told me. You and I are forgetful of the New Year, how can I be so ignorant? Giving you trouble when you shouldn't? ”
"It's good that my uncle doesn't blame him."
Jian Ning smiled and touched the eldest girl's head again, "The child grows up fast, and he has grown up a lot after a while." ”
August and September have passed, and the eldest girl has spoken much more clearly, and she shouted crisply with her little face: "Hello." ”
"Good!"
Janine smiled brightly. She especially likes children, and always feels that children's innocent eyes are heartwarming. At that moment, he put a small gold bracelet that had been prepared a long time ago on the child's hand, "Good girl, this bracelet is for you, and you will be rich and noble in the future, and you will be safe and secure for the rest of your life." ”
"It's not going to be done."
Although Shen Jiuniang refused, she was moved in her heart. Looking at the bracelet, it is clear that someone specially made it for his own child, and it was prepared in advance. Jian Ning treats their family with the grace of reconstruction, where can they take people and things?
Tang Yin didn't care, "Take it, take it, although she calls me uncle, she is an ordinary person, and the elders give it, don't dare to resign, just take it." ”
"Uncle Tang, your skin is getting thicker."
"Haha!"
Tang Yin slapped his fan, shook it a few times, and said, "Who doesn't know that you Jian Yunshu has a hair now?" It's okay for me to take advantage of it. ”
A few people talked and laughed and entered the flower hall, and after sitting down, they drank a few sips of tea, and they talked about the matter of the newspaper.
"Uncle Tang, Your Majesty summoned you last time, did you mention the matter of the Di Bao to you?"
Tang Yin was silent for a while, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty said that it was an idea from you. Later, I informed Your Majesty that many wealthy scholars and wealthy businessmen privately bought newspapers to know the movements of the imperial court. ”
Jian Ning nodded, "No wonder Your Majesty would come up with the matter of the Folk Mansion Newspaper." ”
"Yun Shu, what do you think about this?"
"Why did Uncle Tang ask this?"
Tang Yin said: "It's a good thing to be open-minded, but I'm worried that this folk newspaper will eventually become a tool for the party to conquer." ”
"A kitchen knife can kill people by cutting vegetables, so we can't use it because the tool will hurt people, right?"
"So you think that's a good thing?"
"It's nature!"
Jian Ning said firmly: "The courtiers have thoughts to go up to heaven to listen, and the people have thoughts where to complain?" How many years has the drum of the Heavenly Gate been placed there? Has it ever sounded? It is difficult for the people to appeal to the sky. If there is such a folk newspaper, you can only submit it if you find someone who knows how to write in the countryside.
The Son of Heaven sits in Jinluan, the imperial power is not lower than the county, he does not hear the suffering of the people, and only listens to the ode to purple clothes and vermilion, how can the world be governed well? ”
"Then I'll be the son of heaven when I wait for the backer?"
Tang Yin laughed, "But Yunshu, you should know that in the end, His Majesty is not alone in this world, and any official can crush me, the editor-in-chief, to death." ”
"Uncle Tang is arrogant. Since it is the Son of Heaven, isn't it just like the Jinyi Guard? It is true that the Son of Heaven is not alone in this world, but what the emperor's art wants is balance. We welcome submissions from any party, we just need to be impartial, so that no one touches us. ”
Tang Yin thought for a long time before sighing: "I have never been involved in the court, I don't know how to intrigue, this brain is not as good as you." ”
"Your Majesty asked you to be the editor-in-chief because you took a fancy to you. So it's good for my uncle to just stay neutral. Be loyal to the Son of Heaven, and no one will dare to touch you. Moreover, Your Majesty will certainly allocate talents to you. Now that I have so many officials in the Ming Dynasty, and so many are idle, the royal family has opened a mansion newspaper, which can be regarded as a place to go. ”
Tang Yin nodded, "In the future, I will have to consult Yun Shu." ”
Jian Ning smiled: "Don't dare, but I'm going to come to submit it then, and you can't shirk the fierce words." ”
"Wow! This official hasn't taken office yet, but you're opening the back door first. ”
"The princes of the court have not agreed to this matter, but my uncle has called himself an official, hehe."
A few people laughed for a while, and after talking about the business, Shen Jiuniang asked: "After shooting the condor, what does Yun Shu plan to write below?" ”
"These days, I've been talking about the royal voyage to sea."
"So I wanted to write a book about what I had seen overseas. ”
"You haven't been to sea, how do you write it?"
Tang Yin was surprised.
Jian Ning pursed her lips and smiled, "Although the blueprints of Zheng He's treasure ship in the West were burned, there are still some things left. Others can't see it, but I can see it, and I also asked Zhang Yong to give me some insight and knowledge, and then I made it up and made it into a book. ”
"You're going to kill Liu Jin!"
Tang Yin was rarely clever, "Your cake was painted for Liu Jin, right?" ”
"His greed would be worth it if he could open up territory for me."
Jian Ning paused and said, "It's not all for him. The opening up of the Tang and Song dynasties has achieved eternal achievements, and if I continue to stick to the rules, I am afraid that I will not see my own changes. I have heard that barbarians thousands of miles away have come to me by sea. There are still large tracts of land outside the ocean, if I can't wait to get in, who knows if the tragedy of the late Song Dynasty will be repeated? Although the sea is vast, if one person can come today, ten million people will come tomorrow. ”
"Yun Shu's words make sense."
Shen Jiuniang answered: "The ancestors drank blood and had no clothes to cover their bodies, but now look at my Daming silk, this diet...... Qin can rule the world, and he relies on sharp weapons, and any miracle is created by people. Back then, I was able to build a big ship to go to the Western Ocean seven times, but couldn't the barbarians? What if they come and fight us? Yun Shu, write, write well, I will also help you collect information, and it is time for the Chinese people to open their eyes. ”
Jian Ning was a little surprised. Why did Shen Jiuniang's tone sound a little indignant?
As if seeing Jian Ning's surprise, Shen Jiuniang said: "In the past, in Gusu City, the citizens were civilized, thinking that the world was the same. But when I came to this capital, I found that the citizens of my Daming Hall and the national capital were not as good as Jiangnan, and they were all very conservative. ”
Jian Ning suddenly nodded and said, "What Auntie said is true." Therefore, the trend of the world has long since changed, and Jiangnan is the vanguard. What makeup is fashionable in Jiangnan, the whole country will follow suit, and the north is indeed conservative. ”
"Since the Yongjia Nandu, a large number of scholars and families have poured into the south of the Yangtze River, and the north has gradually become inferior to the south, whether it is fashion or imperial examinations."
Tang Yin let out a long sigh and said, "I hope I can live up to the emperor's grace and handle this matter well." ”
"I'm going to have that book printed in your newspaper too."
Jian Ning said with a smile: "Serialized in the newspaper, the books and periodicals will be printed and sold before the finale, and the ending will be published in the Di newspaper at the end, which is free to read." ”
Tang Yin's eyes lit up, "With your popularity, I'm still worried about sales?" ”
A few people talked and laughed and laughed soon at noon, and Hu Yanshu also brought a few Changzhou villagers over, and after a light meal together, it was the details of the newspaper.
They are all Jiangnan villagers, and Tang Yin has a good relationship with everyone, so this time he is trying to take on a big task, so he naturally wants to help.
I was busy until the evening, and when Zhengde came, the matter came to an end temporarily.
Zhengde was quite surprised to find that these talented people gathered in Jianfu, and it was only then that he realized that the woman he fancied had in Changzhou and had such appeal in Jiangnan.
When the simple plan was taken out, Zhengde's eyes were straight. After reading it, he nodded again and again, and immediately said: "You are all talented and learned, so I will entrust you with this matter." Yun Shu, the Royal Daily, that's a good name. You're right, if this newspaper wants to be popularized, the cost must be minimized. I don't care if I'm not faceless, I just get by. The most important thing is to let the world know my determination, although I am mediocre, I also want to be a good emperor. does not ask for anything else, but only wants the people under his rule to live and work in peace and contentment, and he is worthy of his ancestors. ”
These words were too approachable, and when they heard this, a group of young people were enthusiastic, and they knelt down one after another, swearing to serve the Son of Heaven to the death.
Zhengde's heart is warm. He had been emperor for a long time, but for the first time he felt that he was needed.
Hurriedly said: "The king treats me as a countryman, and I will repay the countryman, and you have such a heart before you enter the official career, how can I let you down?" It's just that the court also has the rules of the court, you are all talented people, you should work hard for the imperial examination, I am waiting for you in the Jinluan Palace, waiting for the day when you serve me justifiably! ”
Full of pride, full of enthusiasm, an epoch-making thing is in such a room, in such an atmosphere to start its magical journey.
Ten days later, a house near the leopard house was emptied, and a group of lifu came in and out one after another, bringing in all kinds of furniture and supplies. After another ten days, a sign was hung in front of the house, and the Royal Daily Office was officially opened.
In the early morning of this day, there was a strange scene on the streets of the capital of Daming, countless children carried a strangely shaped satchel, holding a few large paper newspapers in their hands, and shouted: "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the Royal Daily Office of the Son of Heaven opened today, and there are all kinds of news about current affairs, and the trends of the government and the opposition...... Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, don't miss it when you pass by, all kinds of strange things are in the royal daily newspaper, a twenty pennies, this gentleman, do you want a newspaper? ”
