Chapter 379: Jimin Daily

"Cut~!"

Jiang Chen pursed his lips with disdain.

The Kong family, a family that harms the interests of the country and the nation and enriches itself, is destined to become his mortal enemy, and he doesn't mind offending more.

So he asked Song Huizong to play: "Official, the reason why the previous new policies for benefiting the people have been slandered and repeatedly frustrated, and are not recognized by the people of the world is that there is only one reason:

That is, some people maliciously distorted and put the blame for harming the people on the officials and the princes who carried out the reform of the law in the court.

Why?

Because the vast majority of the people in the world are illiterate, let alone understand the meaning of the esoteric words in the imperial decrees, it is all up to Confucian disciples everywhere to interpret them casually......

Kindness?

What does this little girl mean?

Kong Duanyou, who had just walked out of the main hall, turned his head sharply and stared at Jiang Chen's back.

Cai Jing showed a playful expression, knowing that Jiang Chen wanted to promote the vernacular.

But he didn't mean to stop it.

The first is that it is beneficial and harmless to him to weaken the influence of the Kong family, and the second is that Jiang Chen offended the Kong family to death, which is conducive to his plan to kill Jiang Chen.

As for Song Huizong, he discussed with Jiang Chen early on: since he wants to suppress the Confucian family, he must control the right to speak and public opinion as soon as possible, so as not to incite the Confucian family to fight back and repeat the tragedy of the fall of the Qin Dynasty.

So he nodded cooperatively and said, "What Liangchen said is very reasonable! But how can we make the people of the world familiar with the new policies of the imperial court and not be deceived and misled by those who have bad intentions?"

Jiang Chen replied: "The minister intends to add a section of the dynasty newspaper to the Jimin Daily, and translate the imperial decrees in a simple and straightforward way to promote the world!

In this way, there is no fear that anyone will maliciously misinterpret and fool the peoples."

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Lu Yihao, Gao Shan, and others immediately spoke up.

"The ministers seconded!"

Wang Hao, Cai You and others knew that this must be Song Huizong's meaning, and they also took the lead in standing up.

At this time, there were mainly two kinds of newspapers in the Northern Song Dynasty!

One is the morning newspaper run by the Jinjuyuan, which mainly publishes articles such as the promotion and demotion of officials, singing praises of virtue, etc., with obscure text and a small audience, all of which are hand-copied versions transcribed by scribes.

The other is the tabloid, which is equivalent to a modern entertainment weekly, with relatively simple and easy-to-understand words, and the secret history of the palace and celebrity gossip that the court newspaper does not dare to break out can all be found on it, using movable type printing.

Since tabloids had no advertising revenue, the only way to make money was to attract attention and expand sales, so the earliest paparazzi were born in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The paparazzi specifically asked the eunuchs and palace maids to inquire about the emotional entanglement between the emperor and the harem nobles, the so-called "internal exploration"; There are also those who go to various ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee to inquire about the appointment and dismissal of officials, whether they have accepted bribes, and whether they have raised young wives, that is, the so-called "provincial detectives"; There are also those who go to various yamen, especially prisons, to inquire about the progress of homicide cases, that is, the so-called "government detectives......

As early as four years ago, they made a shocking news.

In the tone of the fake Huizong, he issued an edict attacking Cai Jing, saying that "Cai Jing is blind and strong-sighted, deaf and strong hearing, cunning in public conduct, flattering in deeds, unkind inside and outside, and uncensored", and also reported that Cai Jing and his accomplices had been wiped out by the emperor.

Cai Jing was angry at the time, and he wanted to kill all these so-called tabloids and the bosses behind them as soon as possible, but unfortunately he couldn't do it.

Because the big backer behind the tabloid is the old Confucian family!

Although Cai Jing is majestic and powerful in the court, he can be told to fight to the death of the Confucian family, the first generation of the family that has been inherited for thousands of years and is in the middle of the sun in the Song Dynasty, he really can't win, first of all, he and his henchmen are essentially Confucian disciples, and obviously dealing with the Confucian family is tantamount to deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors, and heaven does not tolerate it!

And the reason why the Kong family wantonly slandered and slandered him is also very simple, that is, Cai Jing implemented a change in order to shoot Song Huizong's sycophants, and questioned the words of the sage, which is tantamount to touching the reverse scales of the Kong family.

In desperation, Cai Jing also ordered someone to run a tabloid newspaper to constantly clarify and beautify himself, and the highlight of the beautification was the Salesian Bureau and the orphanage.

At the same time he also

made people break the news of the various ugly deeds of the Kong family in Shandong.

The Kong family naturally couldn't allow this kind of thing to happen, so the two sides compromised very tacitly when they couldn't kill each other.

Based on this experience, Cai Jing is well aware of the role and great lethality of newspapers.

secretly calculated in his heart: With Jiang Chen's means, as soon as the Jimin Daily comes out, it will definitely crush other tabloids and become a sharp weapon to control public opinion and attack the Kong family. When the joint Confucian family kills it, and then brings the Royal Chamber of Commerce and Jimin Daily into my hands, won't it be up to me to decide whether it is black and white in the future?

Thinking like this, he smiled expectantly and said, "The old minister also seconded it! Widely publicizing the imperial decrees in the vernacular can not only allow the people to directly feel the benevolence and sage of the official family, but also allow the officials to deeply understand the political intentions of the imperial court, and avoid the embarrassing situation of ambiguity and lack of ground. It's a double win!"

After a pause, Cai Jing said again: "However, since the Jimin Daily wants to publish the government of the court, it cannot continue to be classified as a tabloid, but should be reviewed by the Jinju Yuan like the Chaobao before it can be published and distributed!"

The Jinjuwon was subordinate to Menxia Province and was run by Li Bangyan, and Cai Jing's move was tantamount to directly choking the throat of Jimin Daily.

In this regard, Jiang Chen had already been mentally prepared and did not feel any discomfort!

But Kong Duanyou, who was outside the main hall, felt a sense of panic and unease in his heart.

In his eyes, vernacular and simplified Chinese characters are tantamount to a plague for Confucian literature!

He sent Confucian disciples to teach in Salesian institutes around the country for free, and secretly prevented Jiang Chen from controlling the Salesian Bureaus across the country, using all kinds of means to cut off the spread of this "cultural plague" and control it in Yuqing Villa.

But if Jimin Bao is implemented in the world, and there are easy-to-understand vernacular and simplified characters, do people in the world still need to seek advice from Confucian disciples in everything? Will he continue to look up to the high mountains of the Confucian family's holy gate?

What's even more terrifying is that once someone translates the Confucian classics into the vernacular, will they still be able to control the final interpretation and discourse of various literary works?

"No! Absolutely not! Whoever dares to translate my Confucian Confucian classics, I will have to let him die! Let him***! Death to the whole people!"

At this moment, Kong Duanyou directly incarnated as a Western dictatorial pope (the Bible can only be interpreted by them, and no one else is allowed to translate it), and after glancing at Jiang Chen with murderous intent, he quickly left the palace.

As a result, on the same day, the Bianjing tabloids launched an overwhelming verbal and written attack on Jiang Chen, not only smearing Jiang Chen as the first minister in ancient times, but even the people around Jiang Chen did not let go.

Reports such as Jiang Chen's lustful marriage to a widow, using Bai Wan'er's beauty to charm Song Huizong to enter the officialdom, having an ambiguous relationship with her married husband Li Qingzhao, forcibly occupying Master Li after the hero saved the United States, and wanting to transfer the concubine Liu Mingjie to the prince, there is no bottom line at all.
