Chapter 406: Fiddling with Public Opinion
When the news reached Zhu Youzhen's ears, it was already the second day, but when Zhu Youzhen looked at Wei Zhongxian on the side, there was still a lot of surprise in his eyes.
"Father-in-law Wei.. Are you saying that if I want to take the royal train to Tianjin Wei in the future, the people who come to watch may bring danger to me. ”
Wei Zhongxian, who was on the side, hurriedly said: "Emperor, it's true... Now many people in the capital are ready to move, just waiting for that day to come to see the emperor's holy face, the old slave is worried... The number of ordinary people is too large, and the Shuntianfu Yamen and Dongchang together can't control it. ”
Zhu Youzhen understands that once this kind of large-scale crowd gathering is not handled well, it will not only cause trouble for himself, but also easily cause a stampede.
When the time comes, it will cause a tragedy, and Zhu Youzhen feels that this is very much more than worth the loss.
So he said: "I'm afraid the Beijing Railway Station can't afford such a huge flow of people... Spread my message, postpone the trip, and then choose an auspicious day. ”
....
The shopkeeper, editor-in-chief and a group of guys of the newspaper who originally published the "Beijing Evening News" on the streets of Beijing were all outflanked.
The news that the newspaper office was served by Dongchang and Shuntianfu slowly spread out.
Many private newspapers in the capital have fallen into a state of panic, for fear that the next person who will be checked by the door will become themselves.
Within a few days, the Shuntianfu Yamen wrote a letter.
All newspapers in Beijing are required to re-examine their publishing permits before they can continue to print newspapers.
An important basis for the re-examination is the retention of the newspaper that has been published in the past at least one month.
For a while, Zhang Chang aroused a lot of dissatisfied voices.
"Zhang Chang is just a Shuntian Mansion Yin! What right does he have to investigate our publishing license, we have the license issued by the Ming Royal Administration for Industry and Commerce, is it possible that the Shuntian Mansion is bigger than the State Administration for Industry and Commerce?! ”
"That's it! We are making money today, and the business of how much silver we have to pay for a day has been delayed, and he Zhang Chang wants to check, so he will compensate us for our losses. ”
The indignant newspaper shopkeepers gathered.
Of course, the main thing is to get together and find out the latest news.
After all, "Beijing Evening News" was originally in their circle.
It can be regarded as a newspaper with a huge circulation every month, and the price is not low, and it is very profitable, but now it is said that it is down...
And I'm afraid it's hard to have the possibility of a reappearance.
"If you want me to say... Ladies and gentlemen, now we all have newspapers in our hands, and it is impossible for the Shuntianfu Yamen to make us obedient! Early tomorrow morning, I think we can start publishing articles about the Shuncheon Mansion Yamen's violation of the law and asking us to re-examine the publication permission, and then even if it is the Fu Yin, it will be useless! ”
The words of a middle-aged man instantly caused all the other newspaper shopkeepers present to nod in agreement.
They are also discussing publishing the same content in their own newspapers from tomorrow morning.
In the Shuncheon Mansion at the center of the storm.
Zhang Chang listened to the report of his officials with an indifferent face.
After a while, he said slowly: "In other words, they now want to force us to force the palace by controlling the content of all the newspapers published tomorrow?" ”
The officials below hurriedly nodded yes.
"Lord Zhang, according to you, what should be done about this matter?"
"They are killing themselves, is it possible that the official still has such a thing as a block? Manipulate public opinion and look for death! ”
Zhang Chang smiled coldly.
...
Sure enough, early the next morning.
Before the capital could fully reveal itself under the morning sun, he heard the newsboys walking the streets and alleys picking up the newspapers they were going to sell today at the gates of different newspaper offices.
A newsboy said strangely: "The shopkeeper . . . Is what you're saying true? Today's newspaper, you don't take our money? It's all our own... And the more you sell, the better? ”
"Yes! Oh, yes?! Shopkeeper's! If what you say is true, I'll have all my friends come over, today! Sell only one of your newspapers! ”
Chirping newsboys gathered around the door of the newspaper office.
The shopkeeper of "Beijing People's Daily" has a smiling face.
After greeting the guy a few times, he turned his face and said.
"I'm a Huang person, as soon as I say it, it's hard to chase the horse! But the ugly words come ahead. I also have conditions, you can't go to the Huangming Newspaper office today to get newspapers, you can only sell my own or other newspapers, do you understand? ”
As long as there is money to be made, these newsboys, who are not rich in life, are of course very willing.
Although they don't know about this yellow shopkeeper who picks and searches on weekdays.
What the hell is going on today.
Maybe the sun is rising in the west today?
But it doesn't matter..
Just make money.
The newsboys picked up today's newspaper one by one from the guys on the side.
The bright yellow shopkeeper is unusually today, and last night's full-powered printing equipment produced a large number of newspapers, which will be sold today.
So everyone has no limit, as long as they can sell it, take as much as they want... That's all yours!
Another guy who was not too busy said with some confusion: "Shopkeeper, do this?" Aren't we going to lose a lot today? ”
Unexpectedly, instead of being annoyed, the yellow shopkeeper still smiled.
After a while, he spoke: "The little silver I lost today will be doubled in the future, do you think I can be unhappy?" But if you don't spend this money today, you may never earn more money in the future... Which is right and which is wrong, you still have to see it clearly! ”
After finishing speaking, the shopkeeper Huang swayed the folding fan in his hand and went to the street, and today he and the other newspaper shopkeepers also met to drink tea together in a teahouse that they often go to.
In fact, I am afraid that if one company does not keep up, it is easy to make everything go to ruin if it is secretly behind the scenes.
But when the shopkeeper walked along the way, he saw a large number of newsboys smiling happily and happily selling newspapers on the street.
The smile on the face of the shopkeeper Huang was even stronger.
After all, as long as this matter can continue, it is just a small Shuntian Mansion, and in the huge capital, it is not an official who can be taken seriously by them.
"Today, my Master Huang, really... What a pleasure! ”
"Yo! Shopkeeper Zhao, why did you come earlier than me! Looks like everything is going well at the newspaper office today! ”
The man who was called Shopkeeper Zhao also said with a smile: "With someone like Shopkeeper Huang to take care of it, it will be difficult if it doesn't go well!" ”
"Haha! Fast forward, shopkeeper Zhao, let's wait for a few others in the private room upstairs. ”
Just when the two of them were pushing who would walk in front and go upstairs first, there was an invisible rainstorm in the capital that was washing away people's cognition.
