The lifeless imperial court has been lacking an exciting news, but this great victory of the Royal Academy is like a booster, and the Ming Dynasty has rarely had such a great victory since Zhengde.

In addition, all kinds of news came out, saying that the royal captain ran for 200 miles, and then encircled and suppressed the Japanese Invaders, and won a complete victory on the same day, and the normal battle only lasted for one or two pillars of incense, and the Japanese Invaders were wiped out.

Naturally, there will be people who suspect that there must be a false element in the good news, but when dozens of 'Japanese robbers' were escorted to the Beijing division by the Jinyi guard, even if they were put into the edict, then no one questioned it, and there were never any prisoners in the three days and two ends of the Jiangnan side, and now there are one or two hundred thieves, but dozens of prisoners have been captured.

The news spread to the world like wings, and the Ming Pao newspaper in Hangzhou, with the sales of Ming Pao rising steadily, from 20,000 copies in the past has increased to 110,000 copies, and the newspaper office of Ming Pao has also expanded, and now there are more than 10 people in the newspaper office, and there are as many as 100 editors below. As for the subordinate printing workshop, with the large-scale production, several improvements have been made in printing, and now there are hundreds of craftsmen and thousands of apprentices, and the scale is extremely large.

The continuous increase in sales is due to the fact that Ming Pao has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and on the other hand, it is because the provinces have been in short supply, whether it is Fujian, Jiangxi, Shandong and other provinces, as long as the newspaper is newly printed, there will be fast horses waiting outside, carrying a pile of newspapers day and night to rush to various places, although in other places, the newspapers often bought are often a few days later. However, at this time, I don't care about the timeliness of the news, readers read the newspaper, on the one hand, they want to find some wonderful chapters from the newspaper, and on the other hand, they are looking for some interesting stories in idleness.

Moreover, the people of Jiangnan are open. Public opinion is even more relaxed, and you can say whatever you want, and the first few times Ming Pao even used the Spring and Autumn period to ridicule the cabinet, and the court has not reacted at all. The reason why you don't react is because people have to show an attitude, on the one hand, you don't say it blatantly, although the speech is yin and yang, but if you are more serious, it is inevitable that you will think that you have no belly, the prime minister's stomach can support the boat, as long as you don't name names, people don't want to make extraneous branches.

But this kind of chapter is the most appetizing to people. The more you are in the needle. the higher the sales. Ordinary scholars are dedicated to testing fame, but how can fame be so easy? Under this psychological gap, it is natural that there is some dissatisfaction with the princes in the court. The so-called no one who is an official is as good as Lao Tzu to be an official, no matter how good others are as officials. That's also a black-hearted and shameless bastard, Lao Tzu is only eight buckets tall and full of economy, this court is clearly not knowledgeable, such a court, you say that bastards are not bastards.

In addition, there are many frustrated bureaucrats in Jiangnan, these people have a characteristic, either they have no thighs to hug, or they hug their thighs, but their mother's hugging is wrong, and then they are sent to Nanjing, miserable and miserable relatives, sighing every day, since they love this kind of time, they immediately give birth to a sense of confidant, the words here are really to the heart, a handful of bitterness and old tears, I can't wait to flow to the newspaper.

The third group of people who buy newspapers is naturally businessmen, businessmen have to go out to deal with people, especially occasionally to go to the government, or to make friends with the gentry, you always have to speak, everyone will think that you are full of copper smell, vulgar and unbearable, with a little contempt in your heart, if you don't keep pace with the times, read the newspaper every day, I'm afraid you don't even have the opportunity to speak.

Ming Pao also launched a business newspaper in a timely manner, and cooperated with Ruyifang, and Ruyifang provided the latest news, which also aroused the respect of many businessmen.

The increasing sales have made the value of Ming Pao also rising, when it was just starting, maybe a county and prefect could fix you if it was not pleasing to the eye, but now, it is you who go to pull out the governor's tiger whiskers, and people have to obediently pinch their noses to admit it.

As an official, you love money, but what you want more is fame, and what you are most afraid of is to make things bigger, once you make a big fuss, it will cause controversy, and if there is a controversy, it will inevitably be noticed by the court, and the court will pay attention to you, maybe it is the time for you to get out, so everyone abides by the mean, no one wants to be targeted by the newspaper, even if you are stared at, you are vague in the past, as if it didn't happen, it doesn't matter, if you want to make trouble, people will scold you a few words when they seize the opportunity, what can you do? If you have something to do, you will be sealed, then you will definitely be pushed to the forefront and ensure that you become the hottest person in several provinces in the world.

Nowadays, the compilation in a newspaper has become a sweet spot in the eyes of officials and frustrated people, and since the official has no hope, then scold.

Xu Shen is now also pretending to be a scholar, wearing a well-tailored Confucian shirt, and dealing with a group of people every day, but he is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and he still can't change his philistine temper, early this morning, he immediately found the old master Wang with the news, Wang Gen is now very idle, as the editor-in-chief, life is quite good, writing chapters every day, and then adding some private goods in his stomach, but he has become an influential figure, he saw Xu Shen coming in a hurry, but he did not slack off, and said with a smile: " The proprietor is here to ask for tea? You came just in time, and a student brought a pound of good tea to the old man......"

Xu Shen said: "Heavy news, Tianjin Wei Dajie, trouble Old Master Wang to write a chapter immediately, and it will be published tomorrow." ”

Wang Gen became serious: "What Tianjin Wei's victory?" These victorious old men have seen a lot of them a long time ago. He said with a sarcastic face: "Isn't our Jiangnan a small victory in three days and a big victory in five days?" With so many great victories, why has the plague not been eradicated, but has intensified? Visible ......"

Xu Shen smiled bitterly and said, "You will know when you see it." Then he showed Wang Gen the newly delivered mansion newspaper from the fast horse.

Since it is Ming Pao, naturally there are special people in Beijing, waiting for the report to come out, and then the fast horse is delivered to Nanjing, the news is faster than the fast horse, often the news has not arrived, the Ming Pao has already published the news, so many officials simply do not even read the Di Bao, simply read the Ming Pao.

Wang Gen got serious, took the newspaper and read it for a while, and took a deep breath: "Sure enough, it's a real victory, when this news comes out, isn't this Jiangnan going to turn the sky upside down?" The bitter widows in the south of the Yangtze River have been suffering for a long time, and it is rare to have such a big victory, and the old man will write this, and it will be directly on the front page tomorrow. ”

Wang Gen is now experienced, and when he saw this news, he knew its value, and even in the blink of an eye, he had even thought of the title, and he immediately issued an eviction order, saying: "Brother Xu, the old man wants to write, please avoid it." ”

Xu Shen smiled, naturally knowing his temper, and hurriedly withdrew. After leaving the editor-in-chief's room, he caught a glimpse of the light in the general affairs room on the side, so he went up and knocked on the door and said, "Miss Zhao hasn't gone back to rest yet?" ”

Miss Zhao's voice came from inside: "Is it Uncle Xu?" There's an account here that hasn't been settled, so I'll go to sleep later. ”

Xu Shen shook his head and walked away.

But said that the next morning, the newspaper went on sale, and sure enough, as Xu Shen expected, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, Xu Qian and his royal academy suddenly became famous, and the streets and alleys were full of people talking about Xu Qian.

While everyone praised Xu Qian, they couldn't help but scold the Jiangnan officials and soldiers, and this royal academy has now become a well-known figure.

There are even many people who have proposed everywhere to have the Royal Academy stationed in Hangzhou, and let Xu Qian also come to Hangzhou to be the governor of military affairs.

This news is tantamount to slapping the faces of the officials and military leaders of all walks of life in Jiangnan, just like the new governor of Jiangnan.

Once the public opinion in the south of the Yangtze River stirred up, it was not trivial, and even many small poems were mentioned on the walls of many yamen, some scolded the incompetence of the government, and some praised Xu Qian, but everyone dared to take these yamen officers, but they did not dare to make a mistake for these scholars, but the governor's palace intended to clean up, and as a result, many scholars gathered at the door of the governor's palace to make trouble, which frightened the new governor to shrink all of a sudden.

Of course, Xu Qian, who was far away in Tianjin, didn't know that Jiangnan's statement had been sent to the imperial court like snowflakes, of course, even if it was sent, it didn't matter, according to the rules of the imperial court, officials were not allowed to be officials within a radius of 500 miles from their hometown, he was from Zhejiang, and it was impossible to let him go to Zhejiang.

But the will spread to Tianjin, Xu Jie, Deng Jianju were promoted, and Xu Qian was also Qin gave flying fish and gold medals, all happy, the will just arrived, Xu Jie was famous, came to visit, this guy is a blessing in disguise, to think that this time was led by the nose, Qin Cha made a nest, who knows that hit the luck, directly have the opportunity to go to Zhan Shifu, this opportunity is rare, it is equivalent to half a foot has stepped into the cabinet, it is a matter of time.

The two sat down, Xu Jie smiled bitterly at Xu Qian, seeing that there was no one left and right, he didn't hide anything, and said straight to the point: "Doesn't Xu Shiyu think that the court's handling this time is very strange?" ”

Xu Qian said unconvinced: "Of course it's strange, it's obvious that someone Xu has made a great contribution, and you have all been promoted and made rich, but someone Xu gave him a dress and a gold medal, which is really embarrassing." ”

Xu Jie was dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that Xu Qian was so bold and dared to say anything, so he had to comfort: "Xu Shishu has just been promoted to Shishu, he is young, and he will definitely have a lot to do in the future, but he is in a hurry to do something at this moment?" Moreover, now that the Royal Academy is already famous, Xu Shiyu, as the chief teacher, will naturally rise in the future, and if you want to come to your majesty, you will have your own considerations, and Xu Shiyu's achievements in the future will definitely be far above me. ”
