Chapter 171 Cao Bin is righteous and awe-inspiring, exposing the tabloids!
The printing industry of Da Song is already very mature.
Cai Xiao's movements were also very fast, and he could finish the newspaper in a day or two.
In his opinion, it is nothing more than changing a printed book into a printed story.
In the beginning, he directly had many stories written to praise him, hoping to directly reverse his reputation.
But no one bought it at all.
This kind of article that praises people, even if it is given away for nothing, I am afraid that no one will want it, at most it will be treated as toilet paper.
After he lost a lot of money, he suddenly realized that the lace tabloids could sell well, but it was just peachy news of some big people.
He's also learned to be smart, I can't make it myself, and I can't draw a scoop according to the gourd?
So, he found a group of scholars and wrote short stories in a big way, mixed with some praise for himself.
Isn't it just making up? Who wouldn't.
Cai Xiao was pleasantly surprised to find that this turned out to be an extremely lucrative industry, and there were countless people who were willing to pay money for these stories.
He was not the only one who discovered this, and within a few days, small newspapers became a popular industry, and a large number of businessmen flowed into it.
Cai Xiao is still restrained here, he will not write too much news, and with Cai Jing as an umbrella, he will not be pressured by the imperial court for the time being.
Those businessmen can't manage so much, since the court has not seized it, it means that they are capable.
So what's so exciting, the identity of the protagonist of the story is getting higher and higher.
For a while, the whole city of Tokyo was bustling with news.
What "The Secret of the Huge Master Toileting for an Hour", "The Story of Lao Qin, the Gatekeeper of the Mouth", "The Short Palace" at Night"
Although the title is evasive, the content is extremely bold.
Even Cao Bin was a little dumbfounded when he saw it, you really learned the essence.
He hurriedly found Huangfu Xiaoyi and said, "You didn't participate in the lace tabloid, did you?" ”
Huangfu Xiaoyi grinned and said: "Don't worry, uncle, from the very beginning of this matter, I handed it over to a Khitan merchant, and he didn't understand anything at all." ”
Cao Bin said with confidence:
"Don't contact him anymore, and tomorrow I will release the article interviewing Master Pang and Mrs. Bao, and severely criticize the lace tabloids and other newspapers that are untrue!"
"Post another article 'Supporting the Imperial Court to Comprehensively Crack Down on Public Opinion Chaos'."
"This group of bastards, do you think that Da Song can be slandered? Later, I have to write a letter to remind the officials! ”
Bao Zheng's sister-in-law's interview was not fabricated by Cao Bin, he really sent someone to Bao Zheng's hometown.
His definition of the Da Song Daily is true and authoritative.
Therefore, one cannot cheat on such a trivial matter.
Now the entire people of Tokyo are bombarded by all kinds of small newspapers and countless news, and they can only sigh that this circle is too chaotic.
The literacy rate of the Great Song Dynasty is not low, even if you are illiterate, every time you go to a place, you can see diligent scholars reading newspapers......
In fact, Cao Bin didn't expect this situation at first, his idea was to divert people's attention through the lace tabloids, and then whitewash Pang Taishi through the Da Song Daily.
Unexpectedly, when Pandora's box was opened all at once, all the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods poured in, and not many people in the Da Song Daily followed suit, and they all learned lace tabloids.
It's really speechless, the world is going down.
The next day, the person who bought the "Da Song Daily" suddenly found out.
There is no story of "Tianlong" today, first a large article refuting tabloids and public opinion, and then the report of Pang Taishi and Mrs. Bao.
That is from the perspective of a reporter from the Great Song Daily.
Pang Taishi first criticized the untruthfulness of public opinion with righteous indignation, and said that he dripped blood to test his relatives in order to verify the authenticity of ancient books.
The same is true of Mrs. Bao, who has affirmed most of the facts and pointed out obvious inaccuracies.
After reading the newspaper, a scholar sighed:
"The folk rumors are not credible, and the truth has to be seen in the Da Song Daily."
"The articles in this are all written by court officials or great Confucians, and even the dignified masters have been visited by the newspapers."
The other person was also full of superiority:
"Brother Wang is right, the people who read the tabloids are all rural villagers, where can I see really good articles?"
"I didn't expect them to even visit Mrs. Bao ......"
There are also humanitarians:
"Mrs. Bao turned out to be such a person, no wonder she was able to cultivate a clean official like Lord Bao."
"And Master Pang, I found him very interesting......"
"Huh? You see, the daily newspaper also named a few tabloids that made up nonsense, and there was even a sister-in-law of Cai Jing's family, big news! ”
In the palace.
Kou Zhun angrily threw the tabloid in his hand in front of Cai Jing and Pang Ji, and said angrily:
"Taifu Cai, Taishi Pang, what else do you have to say?"
"If the first day's newspaper still has some basis, what about this?"
"Isn't this slanderous courtier? Do you want to stop the imperial court from intervening? ”
The newspaper in his hand was written so explicitly that he almost didn't directly name the real names of several court bigwigs.
Cai Jingdao:
"Kou Xiang is angry, the old man doesn't admit any facts, that's a fictitious thing."
"The old man just said to wait a minute, it seems that the one who really doesn't care about the rumors is Master Pang, right?"
The emperor also picked up a chapter and looked at it, and immediately became angry:
"Why do you dare to write such rumors in the newspapers? This is clearly slandering the imperial court. ”
"Bao Zheng, I order you to close down all the so-called 'newspapers' and arrest all the rumor-mongers."
Cai Jing chuckled in his heart, his son was going to suffer! He didn't expect the emperor's strike to be so large.
Bao Zheng was also taken aback, he also saw the interview with his old sister-in-law this morning, so he said it, wouldn't he arrest my old sister-in-law too?
So he hurriedly said:
"Qiqi official, the Great Song Daily founded by Zhongjingbo is still good, and the minister thinks it is beneficial and harmless."
Pang Ji said unhurriedly: "Official, this is the son of Uncle Zhongjing who entrusted the old minister to play!" ”
The emperor waved his hand and said:
"I'm talking about those tabloids, and Cao Bin's Da Song Daily is no longer among them."
"I don't want to hide it from you, I have also read the Da Song Daily, and the remarks in it are not biased."
"I heard you talk about other newspapers, I thought it was the same as the Great Song Daily, but I didn't expect it to ......."
After reading Cao Bin's slash, he sighed:
"I see, Uncle Zhongjing is so kind-hearted that he has been learned to draw a tiger and not become an anti-dog."
"Those who are not virtuous only seek profit, not virtue."
"Newspapers still need to be restricted by the imperial court.
"This is the journalistic norm played by Juncai, you all take a look at it, and see if you need to supplement and modify it!"
Cai Jing saw the suggestions on the sword, and his brain was suddenly confused.
He only saw the great promise of the newspaper, but he did not expect that there were so many sermons in it.
Cao Bin had already thought it through so thoroughly, the old man miscalculated, and I am afraid that he will not be able to compete with him in the newspaper in the future......
At this time, Cai Xiao didn't know what was happening in the court, and when he saw the Da Song Daily scolding him by name, he was so angry that he said angrily:
"Only you have a newspaper? You say that my newspaper is vulgar and disorderly, and I also say that your newspaper is boring and boring, and you are jealous of my big sales, right, see which of us can scold whom? ”
"Whoever is that, print a batch of newspapers for me, I want to scold Cao Bin!"
At this time, he was quite high-spirited.
He has already tried, and not many people read that kind of serious article at all, and with the huge sales of the tabloids, he can scold Cao Bin to the fullest, and everyone shouts and beats him.
