Chapter 409: Wishful thinking

When several shopkeepers saw this posture, where did they dare to hide what they had done, after all, Zhang Chang was really sitting on the high platform right now.

If it's in the capital, Fu Yin is nothing.

The officials they sometimes entertain on weekdays are all officials with names and surnames in the court.

Even when the people of the capital heard the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, they often showed an elusive smile.

But now it's different, and now I'm kneeling in the lobby of Suncheonfu.

One is not careful, in case this Fu Yin really has something that he can't think of.

Take the knife yourself.

That would be more than worth the loss in any case, not to mention that if everyone hadn't stopped me just now, I'm afraid that a few of them would have been killed by this yellow shopkeeper pit.

1510 people who confessed.

In the end, he was escorted down again in Zhang Chang's playful eyes.

It seems that what they found is only the tip of the iceberg.

These people are also suspected of reselling and reprinting some public books in the Royal Library without permission, and selling them privately.

If you dig deeper, even Zhang Chang doesn't know what charges should be given to them, but this does not affect him to summarize the causes and consequences of the matter first.

After all, it's not just him who is waiting for news.

Zhang Chang knew that there was still Dongchang and His Majesty.

It is estimated that they all want to see the news of their final actions, as long as they can get through this hurdle, they will make a big move in the capital, and it will not be a matter of going to the street to arrest people.

.....

Early the next morning, the capital of Daming.

"Zhang Chang is really bold, and he actually left it for two days before he started, if I... It is estimated that all the people will be arrested as soon as possible. ”

In the East Factory, Liu Dezheng, the head of the factory, looked at the text that had just been sent from the Shuntian Mansion with a smile on his face, which showed that they had arrested all the shopkeepers of several newspaper offices that had deliberately created public opinion in the capital recently.

According to the rules, you should report to your East Factory now.

The next person to receive the news was Liu De.

A fan on the side leaned over and said, "Master Zhangban, it stands to reason that this government has arrested so many people, why can't you give us a little bit of Dongchang?" Why did you do it yourself? ”

Liu De raised his eyebrows and said: "This matter is different, there are some things that we can't all interfere in, and what others do has to be done." ”

"Sometimes, it's not good to cross the line too much."

After Liu De finished speaking, he got up and returned to the house, preparing to hand a copy to the factory father.

....

Behind the newspaper, there are some loopholes in the Ming Dynasty's control of public opinion, but fortunately, the first place where the problem is exposed is the capital.

So soon, Zhu Youzhen issued an order to make up for this loophole.

And those small newspapers were all copied and confiscated, and merged into the Huangming Newspaper to establish the Daming Publishing Group, which will not only cover the newspaper in the future, but also cover more cultural books in paper media.

During this period of time, Daming set off another round of review of non-governmental publications, but as long as many books are not too powerful, Zhu Youzhen still has certain reservations.

After all, if someone left behind some literary work, it would be a heinous crime now, and it would be a bit embarrassing if one day posterity overturned the case and felt that it was quite artistic.

Many things will still be left to future generations to judge.

Several of the shopkeepers ended up with a dozen or more years in prison, and the major newspaper editors were no exception, but most of the people in charge of printing were rounded out by the newly formed Daming Publishing Group.

After all, they're just taking money to do things.

Even if there is something wrong, they can't be blamed, besides... These are all rare printers.

If they really lose their jobs, it will be easy to destroy the heavens.

.....

Zhu Youzhen saw the fold handed over by Zhang Chang, nodded with satisfaction, and then pondered, there have been a lot of big and small things in the imperial court every day recently.

Especially now that the Ming Dynasty is in the midst of the war, he is constantly obtaining supplies from overseas, and Zhu Youzhen knows that such an approach will lead to another thing.

He looked at Wang Chengen on the side and said, "Proposed purpose, establish the Ming Zhejiang Water Division!" Expand the army with 50,000 sailors, and choose the location of Taizhou Mansion in Zhejiang! ”

"Emperor, the old slave understands."

Wang Chengen got up and took the order and left.

But at the moment in a building in Tianjin Weinei.

But there are many discussions, and the noisy sound can be described as hot.

Prit suppressed his emotions and tried his best to control his trembling hands, the smoke around his gray beard and the cigarette between his fingers had yellowed his fingers.

This Dutch old man has been living in Daming for several years.

Much of the reason for the quarrel at the moment was also because of this, he felt that this land was more suitable for him than the sea.

"Daming's warship is naturally good, and we haven't figured out the specific reason yet, but it's not our fault, do you understand? How could the Dutch East India Company betray the Netherlands! ”

Plitt angrily responded to the questioning at the meeting.

The face is full of incredible, and some people actually think that Daming's ironclad technology comes from the Netherlands!

Oh, my God! If we had this kind of technology, we would have such warships ourselves, okay?

The Dutchman could not afford to miss an opportunity to make himself stronger.

"No, no, no! Your Excellency the Marquis, you can't say that... Before we started trading with the Ming Dynasty, although it was rich but they didn't have so much scientific knowledge, now I see that the Ming Dynasty is already a strong state that the Netherlands can't catch up. ”

Hear the words of your own company staff.

Plitt became angry again and said, "Do you want to tell me directly what the company means now?" ”

Another Dutchman on the side heard Plit's words and immediately stood up.

"The company's current meaning is to let us reduce trade with Daming as much as possible without affecting the company's interests, and to raise the price of grain, ore and other materials." ”

"Oh! Oh, my God! Damn, which bastard made the decision, so do you want me to negotiate with the officials of Daming now? ”

"That's right, Marquis Plit, if you can exchange the Daming state bonds purchased by the Dutch East India Company in advance, then the company will consider giving you a higher glory."

"What's more, I know you still have a lot of calculations, let's talk about it all at once."

Between the smoke, Pulit felt like he had aged a lot, even though his time in Daming was the happiest time he had ever spent in his life.

But now, Plitt felt that he could not convince the old pedantic diehards of the Dutch East India Company to screw up the business and even destroy the friendship between the two countries.

Plitt even speculated that they wanted to start a war with the Ming Dynasty.

"We hope to be able to buy their new warships from Daming, and this is also the opinion of the company's directors!"

"you! Go and talk about it yourselves! Pulit left the table in anger.
