Chapter 407: Preparing for action
A few people are in the teahouse.
The shopkeeper who is quietly waiting for the fermentation of public opinion in the market does not know.
The article published in their newspaper about the collective opposition to the Shuntianfu Yamen to review their publishing permission again.
appeared in less than half an hour, and appeared on Zhu Youzhen's dragon case.
And to see several newspapers like this.
Zhu Youzhen's face suddenly turned not very good: "These newspapers are all content audits!" Do you dare to release anything? ”
It was Wei Zhongxian who delivered the newspaper.
"The Emperor.. This time, the people of Beijing collectively wanted to go to the Beijing Railway Station to see the holy face, and there were also shadows of these private newspapers behind the fact that the names of their newspapers were very similar to the Jingshi Daily, and many people could not distinguish them. ”
Zhu Youzhen knew that this was a loophole left by himself, but it was exploited by someone with a heart...
Newspapers were first allowed to be run by private merchants, because at a time when printing was not industrialized, local newspapers were needed to maintain them.
In this process, it is impossible for the imperial court and local yamen to establish a large number of newspapers indefinitely, and more importantly, there are not so many relevant talents within the current Ming court, so Zhu Youzhen chose to let go.
But now it seems that the Emperor Ming Newspaper, which was the first to be established.
The idea of using two newspapers to make the world's public opinion follow the court as much as possible is still too simple.
"There is no problem with the practice of the Shuntian government, but what is wrong with a government office reviewing their newspaper procedures?"
Looking at the newspapers at hand, Zhu Youzhen suddenly remembered the kind of rubbish tabloids in later generations that rubbed the names of large newspapers and newspapers, and rubbed all kinds of rubbing the edges and touching the names to win the trust of the people and then engaged in lace news.
Isn't this another proper remake in Daming?
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly took Zhu Youzhen's words, and he said: "Emperor, this matter will definitely be arranged by the old slave, but now these newspapers are rampant, if you can't find a way to deal with it, I'm afraid it will get worse in the end!" ”
"Didn't I say that? Let the Shuntian Mansion go to review their procedures, as for whether they can pass or not, he Zhang Chang should not be confused! ”
Since there is no problem with the audit, whether the audit can be passed is naturally up to Zhang Chang, and according to Zhu Youzhen's current attitude, I am afraid that these newspapers will disappear overnight.
The complexity of the matter gradually exceeded Zhu Youzhen's expectations.
Instead of putting all his energy into calming public opinion in the first place, Zhang Chang organized the manpower of the government to frantically collect every newspaper that had been issued before these newspapers on the market, since they were unwilling to censor it.
Zhang Chang felt that he could help them.
However, at the same time, Zhang Chang once again published an article in the "Jingshi Daily" in the name of the Shuntian Prefecture, not only publicly refuting these unscrupulous private newspapers, but also deliberately slandering, fabricating, distorting facts, and misleading the people, and should be banned.
And in the form of an ultimatum, he told all of them that he would have two days at the latest, and if he didn't send the audit materials to the Shuntian Mansion by himself, then he Zhang Chang would have to come to the door in person to ask for it.
Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials.
However, the shopkeepers of these newspapers forgot this truth for the first time, and the day after Zhang Chang's ultimatum was issued, almost all the private newspapers in the capital began to distribute newspapers to the streets.
It has been sold for free to newsboys, but now it is directly provided to everyone for free, with the purpose of using the power of public opinion among the people.
Let the ultimatum of the Shuntian Mansion become a dead letter.
Just when the shopkeepers of these newspapers were worried on the one hand, they were trying to strengthen their own courage, hoping that the Shuntian Mansion would not dare to really do it.
The last time in the ultimatum has arrived.
Zhang Chang did not hesitate at all, standing in the courtyard of the Shuntian Mansion, he looked at the hundreds of officials of the Shuntian Mansion beside him and said loudly: "Today, we just want to let the people of the capital see whether our Shuntian Mansion Ya talks about it or not!" ”
"I want to let them know, don't say anything, no one in the imperial city will dare to wield knives and guns in this place, as long as they dare to commit crimes, this official must extinguish their arrogance!"
All the officials present were actually extremely agitated in their hearts, you must know that recently, they have been pointed at from time to time even on the way home.
Those little newspapers that are circulating in the market are simply not a thing.
Using newspaper articles, he not only smeared the Shuntian Mansion, but also portrayed all the officials as the court dogs and horses who persecuted the people.
Boy... Is it your turn to get this name?
Even if you can get your own turn... Can the fans of the East Factory be willing?
"My lord! As long as you give an order, our brothers will immediately copy all these black-hearted newspapers, these guys simply have a bad conscience! ”
"It's just.... Lord Fu Yin, we have not been idle during this time, the addresses of these newspapers, how many people there are, when they open every day, and even which teahouse these black-hearted shopkeepers meet in every day, are all clear! ”
The officials discussed a lot, and Zhang Chang no longer hesitated.
Directly waved his hand: "This official has an order to investigate all the newspapers and newspapers in the capital, especially those involved in this incident!" Not a single one to stay! ”
"Yes! My lord.."
The head of the official then made a look, and all the officials rushed out of the back door of the yamen, why didn't they go through the back door because they were afraid that those people would learn the news in advance.
If they all run, it's easy for them to pounce.
After all, the scale of the capital is much larger than before, and the daily flow of people is not a small number, so it is really not so easy to find someone.
A large number of officials began to move from the alleys.
Despite being divided into different squads, each squad is connected to each other, after all... The target is nothing more than a group of newspaper shopkeepers and buddies.
It's not that they want to go to war.
Therefore, these officials have no worries at all.
They all held the long knives at their waists tightly, and bent down to converge from different roads to the same target point.
....
Shopkeeper Zhao was a little melancholy, this time the battle with the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion could be said to be intensifying, and he had a lot of worries in his heart on the one hand.
On the other hand, he knew very well that if he was re-examined by the Shuntianfu Yamen, he had printed something in the newspaper that he had been publishing for the past month.
At that time, I am afraid that my newspaper will have to close its doors and go away.
So he can only fight to the end.
