At present, Yu Guangdao is in charge of the affairs of the official newspaper, and the first thing to be done is the Yamen, the general journal in the capital.

Although Qi Heng promised Zhu Yuanzhang that he did not need to spend even a tael of silver in the imperial court, the official newspaper was an emerging industry in this era.

Neither the common people nor the officials ever understood.

So the level of acceptance is not too high.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty has just been founded, and the whole country is still in a state of poverty.

The food and drink of the people in various places has not yet been resolved, so naturally there will be no money to buy newspapers and periodicals.

Therefore, Qi Heng is very clear that the early official newspaper cannot make money.

At the same time, because all walks of life are now in a state of embryonic development, the business is extremely immature, and he has cut off the way to find people to cooperate to make advertising money.

Of course, it's not entirely out of the question.

At the very least, Anfeng Mansion still has business to do.

However, the demand is too low.

At least now, there are no private business organizations in Anphon Province that need to advertise on a national scale.

Of course, all this is only temporary.

Qi Heng believes that with the big changes in the national economic environment within a few years, business will definitely grow rapidly.

At that point, when supply is greater than demand, sales become the biggest problem that any business organization needs to solve.

The value of advertising will be revealed.

Of course, these are just questions about the commercial value of the official newspaper and the way to achieve profitability in the future.

At present, the top priority is to prepare for the establishment of the official newspaper and raise its popularity.

And the role of the official newspaper itself in gaining the support of the imperial court is reflected.

For the trust of the official newspaper, because there are reasons behind the imperial court, the common people and officials will naturally have a sense of trust.

In short, Qi Heng explained the methods and ways to Yu Guangdao, although Yu Guangdao was not a capable minister, but after all these years of following Qi Heng to deal with large and small affairs, his own ability has been greatly improved.

It's natural to do something like this.

Meanwhile.

When Qi Heng told Yu Guangdao to vigorously develop the preparation of the official newspaper.

Yang Xian in Yangzhou City also received a will and a letter from the capital.

The first is Zhu Yuanzhang's will for him to strip the skin of that Song Shanyan without authorization.

In addition to seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not reward himself as he guessed, he even punished himself for three months!

Such a result made Yang Xian very unacceptable.

After all, he is wholeheartedly for Daming and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Now that he has done it, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't appreciate it!

For a moment, it was a little hard to accept.

And after reading the will conveyed by Zhu Yuanzhang, Yang Xian took out two more letters from Jinling City.

This first letter was from his mentor Liu Bowen.

In the letter, Liu Bowen gave a general account of what had happened in Jinling City, and pointed out the problems he would encounter in doing so, as well as his own problems.

It can be regarded as an education as an elder.

Regarding what Liu Bowen said, Yang Xian naturally knew that what he said was right.

But what is the use of these words?

Putting down Liu Bowen's letter, Yang Xian opened a letter from a counselor in Zhongshu Province again.

This counselor was a good friend of his Yang Xian when he was in the Hanlin Academy.

Open the letter and look at its contents.

Yang Xian's face became more and more gloomy.

If his face before was just indignant, now it is resentful.

In this letter, the counselor gave a detailed account of what happened in the Jinling City Dynasty and what happened.

It roughly expresses the reason why Yang Xian was punished and the reason why the accident happened.

After learning that Zhu Yuanzhang liked his behavior very much at the beginning, and praised it for a long time, Yang Xian was sure that his original choice was not wrong.

Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament is not wrong.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was supposed to reward himself, suddenly changed his hexagram after meeting Qi Heng, the king of the backer.

The original purpose of the reward has changed, and it has become a punishment for oneself.

Although Yang Xian also understood Zhu Yuanzhang's kindness and attitude in this punishment, this result still made him a little unacceptable.

After understanding that all this was Qi Heng's move behind his back, disturbing his dream of being promoted and making a fortune, Yang Xian was still angry at this backer who had only seen two sides from afar.

In his opinion, he has never had any contradictions with the backer king Qi Heng, but the other party deliberately aimed at himself, isn't this disgusting to him?

originally thought that with this merit this time, he might be able to win Zhu Yuanzhang's favor, and at the same time transfer him back to Jinling City.

But I never thought that the will had already been issued, but in the end it was stopped and changed.

Yang Xian was extremely unhappy in his heart.

"It's almost like that....." Yang Xian said through gritted teeth.

But even if he knew that Qi Heng had done all this, what could he do?

He is the king of the backer, the emperor's brother-in-law, and the queen's younger brother.

What capital do you have to argue with others.

Thinking of these, Yang Xian could only endure the resentment in his heart in the end and continue to focus on the present.

More than a year has passed in a blink of an eye.

After more than a year of improvement under Yu Guangdao's preparation, the official newspaper has basically been put in place.

According to Yu Guangdao's words, in the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty, the time for submitting the content of the official report only takes ten days at the farthest.

One of these is the integration of transportation modes in various places, whether by water or land, all of which are submitted in the fastest way.

The latest ten days of submission time is completely acceptable for today's Daming.

In addition, the official newspaper has been undertaken for seven months since the first issue was submitted.

The official newspaper is published once a month.

The above content is based on some of the latest trends from various local surveys.

For officials everywhere, this information is all about themselves.

Including farming rectification, farming experience and so on.

Zhu Yuanzhang has also read the monthly magazine of the past seven months.

After reading it, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with the content of the official report.

This is because there are many experiences and practical cases of officials in governing the government, and officials in various localities can learn from them.

At the same time, the good official achievements publicized are also greatly inspiring the motivation of officials in various places.

As the ruler of this dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang is naturally happy to see such things.

There are also some officials who seek fame and reputation, and when they see that the officials in this official newspaper have become a model of governance in the whole country through the official newspaper overnight.

That heart is even more itchy.

Privately, I began to think about how to make myself go to this official newspaper again.

This is a matter of honoring the ancestors.

This has come and gone, and the atmosphere within the officialdom has changed a lot in an instant.

Everyone wants to make meritorious contributions.

Especially after careful consideration, Qi Heng even made a ranking list in a prominent position in the official newspaper!

The position of the leaderboard is based on local officials, local productivity, taxation, finance, and so on.

To put it bluntly, it's the same as the GDP ranking in the previous life.

As soon as this list came out, the national officialdom exploded instantly.

If it is said that many of the original officials can lie down and develop after becoming officials, they only need to deal with their bosses well.

But not anymore.

The official newspaper directly uses a special calculation method to rank your local various financial taxes and so on with a number!

It's not just the overall list.

It has also set up a new financial list.

To put it bluntly, it is to give those poor places, but the places that are making rapid progress, a chance to show their faces.

These two lists came out as soon as they came.

It's like lighting a fire in a gas tank.

Everybody is crazy!

Those officials who want to lie down and develop have nothing to hide this time.

The governor of the province can only supervise and urge the prefect on the ground for the position of the leaderboard.

The prefect is also urging the prefect below.

The magistrate is further down.

In short, if you dare to lie down and develop this time, you don't need the court officials to look for you.

Your immediate boss won't take you to play in the first place.

If it was in the past, bring a pig teammate with you, after all, there will be no shortage of meat.

But now it's different.

Taking a pig teammate with you will lower your stats, so you can't do that.

For a time, although the official newspaper did not directly represent the attitude of the imperial court.

But it is also deeply concerned by the court officialdom.

In the entire officialdom, not only did a wind of reform and diligence blow blowing, but a quiet rectification of officials was also carried out quietly.

Batches of officials who have no real skills and can only slap their horses are asked by their bosses to be replaced.

There is no need for Zhu Yuanzhang to do it himself.

The whole country is like a machine, automatically filtering out substandard products and ingredients.

And along with these changes, the influence of the official newspaper is also growing.

Even to the point where many officials are staring at the new issues released by the official newspaper every day.

However, no matter how influential the official newspaper is, it is still an auxiliary thing, and it will not really replace the role of the imperial court.

Official newspapers can only assist the imperial court policy on the sidelines.

Its own positioning determines a lot of things.

Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang watched the influence of the official newspaper become more and more influential, he did not have bad thoughts, or even fear.

Because the existence of the official newspaper is a matter of one sentence for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Let it exist, and it will have a huge impact.

If it is not allowed to exist, its influence will be lost.

For such things that can help him and have no threat to himself, why should Zhu Yuanzhang refuse.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was happy.

Li Shanchang was not happy.

Originally, the power to evaluate the performance of officials and influence the direction of officialdom was in the hands of their Zhongshu Province.

But now.

The province is still in its own hands.

The officials of Zhongshu Province and most of the important positions have also remained unchanged in their own control.

But the power was divided up out of thin air.

What makes sense of this?

In the past, most of the party struggles in the court and court began around an official position accepting his fate.

Take down an official and replace your own people.

The more energy you control.

But now.

People haven't changed, power is gone.

Li Shanchang, who fought in this battle, vomited blood every night.

He couldn't get anywhere to start if he wanted to fight back.

Meanwhile.

As Qi Heng's descendant, Shandong's Shi Caiying is indeed extraordinary.

A lot has been achieved in just one year.

The number of the people has increased, and the production of grain has increased.

The construction of the official road in the city was completed.

The standard of living of the people has improved.

However, these things have been suppressed by the Chinese Book Province.

In other words, no matter how good you do, if I don't give you publicity or report to you, you won't do it. 、

I can only pray when Zhu Yuanzhang will think of you and ask about it.

But you can also choose to say it or not.

In this way, there is no way to convert your political achievements into real credit.

Even if the local people praise you to the sky, without the support of Zhongshu Province, you are still an unknown coffee.

But now it's different.

Shandong is Qi Heng's descendant, and the official newspaper is also Qi Heng's descendant.

So how could Qi Heng not help Shi Caiying in Shandong?

Even if Qi Heng didn't report it, the numbers in that column were real.

Through Shandong's rising rankings, everyone can also see their achievements.

To put it bluntly, it has broken the monopoly of Zhongshu Province in many aspects.

Let the unspoken rules of those officialdoms continue to decrease.

If you don't have a good relationship with your boss, can't you get promoted?

It was, but not anymore.

Can't you be promoted if you don't stand in line, if you don't stand in the right queue?

It was, but not anymore.

At least not to some extent.

At the same time, through the official newspaper, Zhu Yuanzhang can also see the specific situation of the country from the side.

There is also Zhou Nian of Anfeng Mansion.

Whether it was before the founding of the Ming Dynasty or after the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Even the old people who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world together from the very beginning, many people don't know how much Anfeng Mansion has a role for the Ming Dynasty.

Only some civil servants, smart people, will understand that a force is nothing without strong logistics.

No matter how brave you are, you will be hungry for ten days and half a day, and you will be finished.

Therefore, the importance of Anfeng Mansion has always been something that few people understand.

It wasn't put on the table directly.

This is also the reason why many people are not convinced by Qi Heng.

But now.

When the officials of the whole country saw the Anfeng Mansion built by Qi Heng, the generating power brought by just one mansion occupied 20% of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Everyone was stunned.

Today, if a province's GDP reaches 20 percent, it is already a large province with a high ranking and a rich province.

And what about Anphon House.

It's just a province.

Most importantly.

The meaning of a province accounting for 20 percent of GDP is completely different from that of a province accounting for 20 percent of GDP.

Because you've produced so much and created so much wealth, you have to spend on it, right?

You are a province with a vast territory and many people.

The overhead you need is huge.

On average, you may not bring much income to the imperial court at all, and even lose money in some places.

But what about Anfeng Mansion.

Accounting for 20% of the gross domestic product, how much of it can bring benefits to the imperial court?

Ten percent, fifteen percent, or even seventeen or eighteen?

It's all possible.

Because the cost of Anfeng Mansion is small.

And how much of the positive income that Anfeng Mansion brought to the imperial court occupied the whole country?
