Lao Zhu continued to digest the statement about 'slaughtering 100 million people' for a while, and listened to his precious twenty-third grandson in the end, and mentioned the 'success or failure hero', and couldn't help but shake his head: "Yuan'er, your idea is too domineering, I don't think it's a long-term solution, so I said that Meng Yuan, slaughtered any people, isn't the country still less than a hundred years?" ”

"Ancestor, these two also do not constitute a causal relationship. Moreover, we only destroyed the Yuan court, in fact, in the far west, there are many countries founded by the descendants of Genghis Khan. If I hadn't shown up, these nations would have ruled for hundreds of years. Oh, this is also the reason why I came up with the idea of recreating 'Daqin' and 'Da Chu' outside of our Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuan shook his head and said, paused, and continued: "Moreover, ancestor, let's make one more fact, no dynasty can last for generations, you approve of it, right?" ”

Lao Zhu nodded.

Zhu Yuan said: "Then, comparing the Han and Song dynasties, there is a saying in later generations, 'The rest are destroyed by weakness, and the Han is destroyed by strength', the strength of the Han Dynasty, even in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, can easily suppress many barbarians in the north and dare not covet the Central Plains." Until now, our Central Plains people still generally regard themselves as Han Chinese, which shows the influence of strong men. Looking at the Song Dynasty again, in the same hundreds of years, the land was ceded and the compensation was called the minister's tribute, and the humiliation that a dynasty could bear, they all experienced it again, and later generations mentioned the Song Dynasty, and they could only think of two words, nest. Ancestors, then, if you have a choice, do you want our children and grandchildren to be bullied by others for hundreds of years like strong men, or are you willing to be bullied for hundreds of years like the weak Song Dynasty? ”

Lao Zhu was silent for a while.

After a while, I remembered a question that had not been asked explicitly before: "Yuan'er, let's be Ming...... Afterward...... What is the rating? ”

In fact, from the daily words of his baby twenty-third grandson, Lao Zhu has already expected it. However, I can't help but ask.

Zhu Yuan did not hide it either, and said: "Polarization. ”

Lao Zhu didn't speak, just waited.

Zhu Yuan said: "Bad evaluation, there is no good emperor in the Ming Dynasty, starting from you, all of them are scoundrels." ”

Lao Zhu pulled the corners of his mouth: "I, what's the matter...... Is it a scoundrel? ”

"This, Yuan'er told you one," Zhu Yuan said: "Later, Wuzong was a playful person, and wanted to tour the south of the Yangtze River, and the ministers persuaded him, and Wuzong played the board to make the courtiers submit, and found that he accidentally killed someone, so he didn't go." However, this still became a stain on Wuzong, a typical rogue emperor. In contrast, Kangxi and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, both of them went to the south of the Yangtze River six times in their lives, and spent countless sums of money, as for whether they killed some courtiers who persuaded them, there is no record, but they are all good emperors in the history books. Oh, by the way, Yongzheng, who has the worst reputation in the middle, is conscientious and has never toured the south in his life, but he is the one with the worst reputation. ”

"If that's the case, it's a scoundrel." Lao Zhu Hehe laughed and asked, "That's ...... Okay? ”

Zhu Yuan skillfully gave the most familiar one later: "In the 276th year of the Ming Dynasty, there was no harmony, no land, no compensation, no ministers, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, and the king died." ”

After listening to it, Lao Zhu savored this passage carefully, and felt a little agitated.

It's just that after a while, Lao Zhu quickly calmed down again, remembered many contents in "Book from Heaven" again, shook his head and muttered: "It's not good, it's not good, it's better to be a really scoundrel." If the country is gone, leave this reputation...... What's the use, what's the use...... Not good......"

Zhu Yuan also agreed: "So, Yuan'er hopes that our Daming will have a good reputation and a good result this time." ”

Lao Zhu nodded subconsciously, came back to his senses from a trance, looked over and said, "Yes, I just said it...... The right to speak, the right to speak...... Listening to your rhetoric, it is not only about fame, but also about the country, you say, how to do it? ”

"It's very simple," Zhu Yuan said, "Later, there was television and radio, but these are still far away." Speaking of the near, the summary is one, the pen. ”

Lao Zhu thought he had reacted: "This, write a book, write a book to praise yourself, this is also ......"

"Of course it won't be that simple," Zhu Yuan shook his head and said: "In fact, there is a prototype now, the imperial court's newspaper, and later, it developed into a newspaper, which is probably a few large sheets of paper, printed every day, publishing all kinds of relevant articles related to officials' remarks, imperial court policies, etc., and directly transmitting information to the people." In later generations, the number of large newspapers printed every day could even reach tens of millions. The right to speak in Confucianism is actually a pen. Through the newspaper, the imperial court is equivalent to mastering a pen, and with a pen, it is equivalent to having the right to speak. ”

Lao Zhu imagined a certain scene, which he could roughly understand, but said: "Printing tens of millions every day, this is ...... How much money does it cost? ”

"The productivity of this era must not be printed, but with the idea, things can come step by step," Zhu Yuan said, thinking about it, and said: "My ancestors should know the many slogans I made in Mingzhou?" ”

Lao Zhu nodded, and he was quite touched by some of them, such as 'military and civilian families'.

"Big-character slogans, in fact, are also a kind of discourse, and it is a very effective and subtle one, and I suggest that it be promoted throughout the country in the future. Of course, the content must be reviewed by the imperial court, and those who scribble must not only punish crimes, but also punish serious crimes, because this is actually the right to speak. For example, if someone scribbles the words 'Da Ming is not good' everywhere, even if the people don't understand what is bad about Da Ming, but if they see too much, they will only feel that Da Ming is not good. ”

Lao Zhu digested for a moment, and then signaled again: "This ...... It's up to you. ”

Zhu Yuan opened his mouth.

Give up again.

Don't worry about having a lot of debt.

Then he said: "Then there is this newspaper, it is not realistic to print it every day, let alone print tens of millions of copies, but it can be changed to another form, called a magazine, which is generally printed once a week, that is, every seven days, or every month, compared with a newspaper with fewer pages, the magazine will be thicker and have more content." ”

Lao Zhu raised his hand and clicked over: "This, just do this...... Magazine ......"

Zhu Yuan said with a smile: "First of all, we still have to lay the foundation, it just so happens that Yuan'er came back this time and brought some paper-making craftsmen, who originally planned to make special paper for making various household registration documents, well, since we want to make magazines, we need to expand the scale of papermaking to the greatest extent......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuan suddenly smiled and said: "Ancestor, I will make a will to concentrate the papermaking craftsmen of the whole country near Jingshi as much as possible, well, this is not good, papermaking will pollute and affect the water source, if there is a small amount, the environment has its own recovery ability, and too much will cause irreparable damage, so ...... Relax, we talked about it before, the demarcation of Zhili Province is placed in this area, do the ancestors know the benefits of doing this? ”

Lao Zhu didn't understand what 'pollution' was, but he felt that it was definitely not a good thing, and when he saw Zhu Yuan asking, he pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Isn't this simple, control this paper in the hands of the imperial court, and those literati will not be able to wave the pen at will." ”

"The ancestors are wise," Zhu Yuan slapped again, and said with a smile: "On the surface, we still have to make an enlightened posture, but in fact, the right to speak must be strictly controlled in the hands of the imperial court, for this reason, even if some means that will cause criticism, it will not hesitate, for example, this magazine, as well as future newspapers, must only be controlled in the hands of the imperial court, and private people who publish newspapers and magazines without authorization must also be punished with serious crimes." ”

Lao Zhu nodded: "This is as it should be." ”

Zhu Yuan thought about it and said: "However, we still have to be enlightened, so newspapers and magazines cannot be printed at will, but books can be relaxed, ancestors, think about it again, why is this?" ”

Lao Zhu was unknown for a while.

Zhu Yuan explained directly: "It is very difficult for a single book to have an impact, and if it feels inappropriate, it is relatively easy to ban it. However, newspapers and magazines have continuity, not to mention their content, once the corresponding newspapers and magazines themselves have been done for a long time, they will naturally form an influence, that is, the right to speak. If this right to speak is not controlled by the imperial court, the results can be imagined. For example, just now, one day, a newspaper with a circulation of 10 million copies suddenly printed four big characters: Da Ming is not good. Then, tens of millions of people who are accustomed to reading this newspaper will naturally be affected for the first time, and feel that Daming is not good. As for why it's bad? Newspapers with a print run of tens of millions say you're not good, can you be good? ”

Zhu Yuan's tone was relaxed, and there was a bit of ridicule, but Lao Zhu felt a little hairy for a moment: "You ...... It's so heart-wrenching. ”

"This is just the most basic," Zhu Yuan said with a smile: "Ancestor, in the future, one of the goals we want to achieve is not only to make readers feel that they can speak, but in fact, what to say must be completely controlled in our hands, which is called mastering the right to speak." ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuan thought of the past.

In the past, this was done very badly. In contrast, on the other side of the ocean, it is called superb, and it has a stricter control of public opinion than most other countries in the world, but it can give people a feeling of super freedom.

The simplest comparison.

The same is to keep a diary.

Someone wrote, just wrote, and after writing, they could still scold the street, saying that they had been targeted, not free, and a lot of chatter, and they were very wronged, and then attracted a large number of echoes and scolded.

Someone wrote, bang - hit to death.

No then.

However, the latter, which is still felt by many people, is more free!

It's just fantastic.

Of course, Zhu Yuan is not criticizing, Zhu Yuan is just admiring, in terms of operation methods, Zhu Yuan is absolutely on the latter, fantasy is the goal he should pursue.

Shiyi's long skills.

This is the 'teacher'.

Lao Zhu listened, but shook his head, slightly restrained his expression and said: "There is trouble there, if those people who read nonsense, they will cut it, and it will be ......."

That's the problem.

Zhu Yuan interrupted helplessly: "Ancestor, you can't do this, this effect is not good, and it may backfire." Anyway, you just let me come. ”

Lao Zhu thought for a while, nodded, thought about it and couldn't help but ask: "Tell me, how to do it?" ”

"Just now we talked about the relationship between the rich and the poor, and fundamentally, it is still economic status," Zhu Yuan said: "If you talk about economic status, the imperial court with a country's financial revenue is of course the ...... at the top of the pyramid."

Lao Zhu felt that he understood again: "Use money, you ......"

"Money is a must, but it is certainly not as simple and crude as the ancestors imagined," Zhu Yuan said: "For example, for example, to set up a magazine, in addition to the pen of the imperial court, we will also collect articles from the people, give manuscript fees, not only to show the attitude of always accepting words, occasionally, but also to set up awards, if you write well, I will give you bonuses, give you honor, and raise your status to a higher level." ”

Lao Zhu was a little puzzled for a while: "This ...... It's also simple, huh? ”

"Of course it's not simple," Zhu Yuan said: "To put it apart, if you write an article that is in line with my attitude, I can let you publish it and give you a manuscript fee." Gradually, those literati will understand what kind of articles the magazine likes and is easier to publish, and they will gradually tend to our attitude. On the other hand, this is not our attitude, this is the attitude of a third party, my court didn't force you to write it, you see, this is written by Liu Ji, who is very famous in eastern Zhejiang, although the attitude of Zhu Yuan is the same as that of my Zhu Yuan, but, on the surface, what does it have to do with my Zhu Yuan? ”

Lao Zhu reacted.

looked at the twenty-third grandson of his own baby opposite.

This temperament......

If it weren't for his distant grandson, he really wanted to be beaten.

My mind is crooked.

Waving his hand, Lao Zhu said: "These, I don't understand them even more if I hear too much, you just look at it, it's all your ordinary duties." Besides, don't make fun of that Liu Ji, speaking of which, I went to the letter before and asked him about this Jinling...... He said that he couldn't understand the matter of death's door, and he didn't dare to say anything. ”

"These are inherently mysterious," Zhu Yuan said: "It's good to look at the facts on the ancestors, this Jinling City ...... Dynasties and dynasties. ”

Lao Zhu snorted: "I have also ordered Xu Da to move from Bianliang to Dadu, your plan to reverse the 'Grass Valley', as well as Dadu itself, also plan to operate it, and ...... in the future." When the time is right, move in. ”

Zhu Yuan just nodded, and there were no more opinions for a while.

These require protracted operations.

Since the topic of letting Zhu Yuan manage the right to speak, the topic has diverged, and Lao Zhu will not go back, and continues: "Also, Wu Zhen wrote that 1,500 elite soldiers and 3,000 people of the navy have arrived and taken over Tamna, and the port is being repaired. ”

As he spoke, he found a copy and handed it over.

Hua Gao also sent the documents of the Navy Governor's Mansion yesterday, and Zhu Yuan already knew about it.

After scanning the folds in front of him again, after a little consideration, he said: "1,500 people, too little, at least one guard, 5,000 people, Tamna's strategic position is very important, and it can also be used as a docking base for fishermen to fish in the open sea in the future, whether it is for the next military operations against Goryeo and Japan, or simply for the purpose of protecting fishing, more people." ”

"There is no shortage of people, but elite soldiers are hard to find, they have to practice, and they have to be sent to the battle battle to see blood," Lao Zhu shook his head and said: "Anyway, what to do in the future, you, the naval governor, will also talk to Wu Zhen and him in private, and get a charter?" ”
