The next day, the first issue of the Great Song Dynasty was quietly published.

After Zhao Jun determined the contents of the first edition of the newspaper, the workers of the printing workshop worked overtime overnight, and the next day 5,000 copies were printed.

These 5,000 copies are not for sale, but for gifting.

There are thousands of tea shops in Bianliang City, and there are countless tea stalls and breakfast stalls. Each family will receive one copy and put it on the table for guests to see for free.

For a time, many people in Bianliang saw something new like a newspaper.

In Longjin Qiaofang City, the morning market is in full swing.

Ordinary people, merchants, and scholars came and went, and several neighbors came to the tea shop for breakfast according to their usual habits.

Someone asked, "How?" Did you catch the head of the club? ”

"I don't know, I don't think so."

The others replied: "That guy hid in a secret prostitute house with a half-hidden door, was reported, and the people of Kaifeng Mansion went to arrest him, but the person was a good hand, and he actually rubbed against the wall, and the people of the Imperial City Division didn't catch it." ”

"Your message is outdated." The shopkeeper who served them tea put the brewed tea on the table, and the others said angrily: "Where is it outdated." ”

The shopkeeper handed over the newspaper on the counter and said with a smile: "More than 100 people from the old general club have all been caught." ”

At the end, he added: "Yesterday's incident." ”

"Yo, then I'll have to see."

When the man saw that it was a large piece of paper, he spread it out and looked at it, and the people around him also came over.

The first thing that caught my eye on the paper was an article signed by Zhao Jun, the prefect of the Constitutional Yuan, with the title of "Cracking Down on the Underworld and Evil Forces, and Returning Bianliang to a Sunny Day".

It not only mentions the actions of the Imperial City Division and Kaifeng Mansion to crack down on underworld forces many times in recent times, and how many criminals have been arrested.

Reference was also made to the crimes committed by these individuals, such as robbery, murder, usury, collection of protection money, etc.

Some time ago, only the first batch was cut down outside Bianliang City, and then there were the second and third batches, including the old community head who had been in Longjin Qiaofang City for many years and had done a lot of evil, and he was also captured last night and beheaded next year.

Seeing this, the neighbors were overjoyed, and the person in front said: "It's really yesterday, that fat worm has been bullying our market for so many years, and it's finally going to die." ”

"Not dead yet? This guy also relied on his brother who was doing official affairs in Kaifeng Mansion, and he joined the army with Li, and Li Dewen was arrested by Zhao Zhiyuan, I heard that he was skinned and skinned, that is miserable, the backer is gone, he can still jump for a few days? ”

"God opened his eyes, that is, we came to Bianliang to this Zhao Zhiyuan, otherwise these people don't know how long they will be rampant. Pity my nephew, who was taken away because he offended the fat worm, and still has no one alive or dead. ”

"Yes, Bianliang finally came to a Qingtian master. Yo, there's something new in this paper. Our Zhao Qingtian dismissed more than 100 officials of the Salt and Iron Division in one breath the day before yesterday, and he was very courageous. ”

"What else?"

"You don't know, I have a relative who works on an errand in the yamen, and I vaguely heard about it yesterday."

"Then does he know why Zhao Qingtian wanted to remove these officials?"

"I don't know where to go."

"There is something in this big paper, saying that these people are ignoring the decrees of the Constitutional Yuan, despising the officials, despising the Constitutional Yuan, and the deputy envoy of the Third Division, Liu Yuanyu, is the leader of the Third Division, and the Imperial City Division is ordering him to be investigated."

"Does Liu Yuanyu still need to check? I heard that this person was selling forbidden things in private, and many people knew that because he was a big official, no one cared about it. ”

"Then he is unlucky, he met Zhao Qingtian, isn't it a dead end?"

"Lao Zhang, show me this big paper."

Many neighbors talked about it, because the noise was relatively loud, and the people who came to have morning tea around heard it, so they were all curious.

Soon the newspaper spread from Zhang San to Li Si, and then to Wang Wu, and finally it was snatched up.

It was the shopkeeper who came forward to stop him and said: "Okay, okay, the person who came to deliver this big paper said that every seven days in the future, Bianliang will have this newspaper for sale, 12 yuan a piece, all of which are big news from the court and other big news, and there are poems in it." ”

"I'll have to buy one after that, it's interesting, and the news is much faster than I heard about it."

Immediately, there was support for it.

The gossip in Bianliang spreads really fast, for example, more than 100 officials have been dismissed, and now they are going home one by one, and family, friends, and slaves will always get the news and spread it.

But the speed of word of mouth is much slower than that of newspapers, so even if it was the day before yesterday, not many people know about it today.

Now that there are newspapers, the news of temples and markets quickly spread throughout Bianliang, and for a while, the people applauded Zhao Jun's approach.

What they need is this kind of person who dares to crack down on chaotic officialdom and against underworld forces.

Compared with the people in Bianliang City, who are more concerned about the news of the eradication of the underworld forces closely related to them, the attention of another group of people is far more than that.

The golden water flows from the Jinyao Gate in the outer city, to the Liang Gate in the inner city, and then passes through the Xihua Gate side of the Imperial Palace, flows out from the Donghua Gate, and flows to the old Cao Gate.

Outside the old Cao Gate, the golden willow shakes the wind tree tree, and the dragon boat is on the far shore. Thousands of steps Hongqiao, jagged goose teeth, straight to the water hall. Around the Golden Causeway, Manyan fish and dragon play, clusters of Jiao Chun Luo Qi, noisy silk tube. The glory of the glow, as if you can see it, Penglai is shallow.

From Nanxie Street to Niuhang Street, it is a famous entertainment venue in Bianliang.

There are Zhujia tiles on the north bank of Jinshui, a brothel on the south bank, Jingde Temple on the northeast bank, the temple has red walls and gray tiles, and the pagoda is strict. On the other side of the temple, there are a forest of green buildings, the willows downstairs dance in the autumn breeze, and the ribbons on the upper floor flutter in the breeze.

A pair of green white jade-like hands stretched out from the balcony on the second and third floors, waving towards passers-by, smiling and fragrant. At that time, he was young and thin, riding a horse and leaning on a bridge, full of red sleeves.

At this moment, leaning on the red building, a woman sang softly: "The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is dark." As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world. Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, and you can endure the return of the Magpie Bridge. If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight? ”

The singing is euphemistic and beautiful, with the soft musical instruments in the building, a song "Queqiao Immortal" is eloquent, and it is very beautiful. The melody is still turning slowly, and after a while, it was replaced by "Butterfly Loves Flowers" written by Liu Yong in his early years, which makes love even more desolate and sad.

The Cuihong Courtyard next to it was not to be outdone, and the big drums were beating on the ground, and a woman's high-pitched voice sang: "The big river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the people of the ages are romantic." To the west of the base, humanity is, Zhou Lang Chibi of the Three Kingdoms. The rocks pierced the air, the waves crashed on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The country is picturesque, and there are many heroes at one time. ”

This imposing "Nian Nujiao" actually pressed the graceful "Butterfly Love Flower" next to it, the painting boat in the golden water floated, the song spread in all directions, the tourists on both sides of the strait listened to it as if they were fascinated, and unconsciously walked into the green building, listening to the fairy sound at close range.

For a time, even the business of the 54 Goolan courtyards in Bianliang was a little better than in the past.

．

．

It was the beginning of October, late autumn and early winter, the sun was high and the whole land was scorching.

Today is not a cold weather, but a hot early winter.

Because the third Xiaoice River period was in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, which lasted until the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the temperature gradually warmed up in the middle of the Song Dynasty and the temperature returned to normal.

Especially in the Huainan area, there is often drought and little rain, and disasters and famines are continuous. So although it was early winter, the weather was not cold, and there was a hint of heat in the cold wind.

The sun is slightly pale, and if you wear it thicker, it will make people feel hot, but if you wear it less, it will feel cold, which makes people full of discomfort in early winter.

The canal outside the city flows, and the branches of the willow bank dance lightly in the wind. The green fields planted in August in the pastoral fields on both sides of the strait are swaying, and the so-called wheat is green all over the field, the new seedlings are green and full of ponds, and the fertile fields outside Bianliang City are thousands of miles, a piece of farmhouse scenery.

Thanks to the introduction of excellent rice varieties such as Champong rice and Huangli rice, the rice-wheat multi-cropping system began to appear in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River during the Northern Song Dynasty. During the Shaosheng period, Lu You's grandfather Lu Dian's official demotion to Taizhou, there is a record of "guarding Hailing and catching wheat and re-ripening".

There are also four years of Chunhua of Taizong of the Song Dynasty, and Huang Mao of Cangzhou Linjin proposed to promote Jiangdong early rice in Hebei, which has achieved obvious results, and is a famous case of southern rice and northern planting in the early Song Dynasty.

Therefore, during the Northern Song Dynasty, Hebei and Henan regions in the north gradually began to alternately plant wheat and rice.

There are farmers working in the fields between the ridges, there are scholars enjoying the autumn scenery in the suburbs, and a carriage on the side of the road is slowly coming under the protection of more than a dozen guards, and it has reached the outside of Bianliang City far away.

"Unknowingly, the old man hasn't been to Bianliang for two years, and this change is not big."

An old man in his sixties in the carriage opened the curtain and looked at the scenery outside the window, with some memories in his eyes, some indifference, and more peace mixed with a touch of joy.

Since the first year of Jing You, after being driven out of the court by his political rival Lu Yijian, Li Di was first appointed to Zhixiangzhou, and then changed to Zhimi Prefecture not long after, and then Xuzhou and Yanzhou.

Although the transportation in the Song Dynasty has been greatly improved compared with the Han and Tang dynasties, with the launch of the Grand Canal, the speed of transportation and logistics has become much stronger. But for a sixty-year-old man, tossing around like this is really unbearable for the body.

Now that he has finally returned to Bianliang, although he only went to the Third Division as a deputy envoy, he can use his qualifications, and I believe that as long as he can be reused by the official family, I am afraid that it will not be long before he can return to the phase.

"Weng Weng."

The driver was a teenager, fifteen or sixteen years old, his name was Li Xiaoji, and he was Li Di's grandson.

When he heard that his grandfather was back, he excitedly ran twenty miles out of the city to greet him, and when he arrived at the place, he drove the coachman to the other side and drove his grandfather himself.

He said with a smile: "Although Bianliang's appearance has not changed much, the officialdom has changed a lot now. My father is now a household judge, and he saw that more than 100 people in the Salt and Iron Division were stripped naked and driven out. ”

Li Di shook his head and said: "The old man thinks that he will not be able to come back until Lu Yijian has finished his life in this life, but it can be regarded as the blessing of the newly appointed Governor of the Constitutional Yuan, and he can return to the court one day, but I don't know what kind of person this Governor of the Constitutional Yuan is?" ”

"This prefect is amazing, there are so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Kaifeng Mansion, and they will be killed if they say they will be killed. There are so many underworld and evil societies in Bianliang, and they will be arrested when they say they will be caught. There are also many officials in the officialdom who have colluded with them, and only two or three hundred people have been arrested. ”

Li Xiaoji said happily, then took out a newspaper from his arms, handed it to Li Di, and said, "Weng Weng, just look at this." ”

"What is this?"

Li Di took the newspaper, and because of the location, the first thing he saw was the poems.

There are two songs in it.

One is "Queqiao Immortal", and the other is "Nian Nujiao", the author is a person named Zhou Shuren.

"This thing is called a newspaper, it appeared yesterday morning, didn't our family open a shop? I managed to get a copy, and even Zhao Zhiyuan wrote articles on it. ”

Lee Hyo-gi replied.

Li Di glanced at the two poems, said a good word in his heart, and then did not read it carefully, spread it out to the front, and saw the two articles written by Zhao Jun.

The first side is naturally to write about the content of cleaning up the underworld forces, and the second side is the problem of the Salt and Iron Division.

After reading it, Li Di had a number in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "This Zhao Jun is really a strange person, more than a hundred officials, and he was dismissed like this?" Will the official family agree? ”

"Not only the officials, but also many ministers, even Xiwen Gong, have supported him, and at least half of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty now support his decision."

"It's normal for this Cabinet to support him, the new Council is even more powerful than the previous Prime Minister, and if I were them, I would do the same for the sake of my own power. The main thing is that I didn't expect the official family to support it, which is not the character of the official family. ”

"Speaking of which, the official family has changed a lot in the past six months, and my father said that if it was before, he would never have given the authority of the Imperial City Division and let them kill so many people in Bianliang, but now"

"It's really strange, even if this person is talented, why can he be in charge of the political system?"

"Who knows, maybe the ministers know."

"Hehe, although Wang Zeng has recommended Lu Yijian before, the two have had a lot of disputes in the past two years, and they are by no means good people. Now they are all in the Constitutional Yuan, under his rule, could it be that this person is a clan? It's not right, even if it's a clan, how dare the official family reuse it? ”

"Bianliang has had rumors that he is the youngest son of the first emperor, and even the great Zongzheng went to the son to ask about it, but it was refuted by the officials, and it was not the clan."

Li Xiaoji said with a smile: "But it is said that he is only in his twenties, he is in a high position at a young age, and he is supported by three phases and three counselors, there must be something strange." After Weng Weng arrived in Bianliang, he could make friends with him as much as possible. ”

"Well, that's what the old man thinks."

Li Di stroked his beard and smiled: "It's strange that my grandson can have such insight at such an age. ”

Li Xiaoji said happily: "It's all Weng Weng who teaches well." ”

"Hahaha."

Li Di laughed, laughing because of his grandson's intelligence.

The second smile is that Bianliang's political arena is now different.

This Constitutional Yuan is really curious.

Since the prefect was able to recall him back to Beijing under Lu Yijian's resistance, it can be seen that he is capable.

Myself.

Be sure to visit it in person!
