Chapter Eight hundred and Thirty-Seven: On the Rise
In the capital, many newspapers suddenly turned the topic to Lianzhou. In fact, newspapers have long become sound tubes and tools. Except for those uninfluential tabloids, there are real power figures behind almost every newspaper.
These newspapers suddenly raised the topic of Lianzhou, and for a moment, major newspapers followed suit and started discussions.
This sudden incident naturally aroused the vigilance of some people. On the Beizhenfushi, the editor-in-chief of Xueersong was invited to come over. Now in the capital, only Xueersong has not yet conducted large-scale reports on Lianzhou. However, Lianzhou is gradually becoming a hot topic. Even if Xueersong can stand up, it will have to follow this trend sooner or later. However, the issue of how to report in front of this editor-in-chief is.
In fact, this matter is too tricky. Although Lianzhou was once a hot topic, the trend of newspapers is not the wealth of Lianzhou and its population increase, but the land expansion of Lianzhou. Now Duke Lian is not in the capital, so this incident aroused Li Dongdong's vigilance. Li Dongdong felt that there was definitely something tricky about this matter.
Editor-in-chief Peng Wen sat down, took a sip of tea and smiled at Li Dongdong: "Things are so strange, and these newspapers were quite stable at the beginning. They always followed Xiao Gui and Cao. They followed whatever others reported. But this time, they suddenly turned the wind to Lianzhou. Mr. Li. To put it a bad thing, there must be someone behind this. I think it's strange to learn and report here, so I came to ask Mr. Li's opinion."
Peng Wen and Li Dongdong are also old acquaintances, so there is nothing to hide between the two of them. Li Dongdong was actually very puzzled at this time, but the Jinyiwei had already checked that those newspapers had a close relationship with some people in the court, so Li Dongdong could almost conclude that this was not just groundlessness, it must be that someone in the court suddenly wanted to make trouble with Lianzhou.
These newspapers said that Lianzhou embezzled the land of Annan Kingdom, saying that 70% of Lianzhou's land now belongs to Annan. Moreover, the court did not recognize these lands. Li Dongdong seemed to feel that he had seized something, and 70% of Lianzhou's land did not belong to the court. But Liu Chengfeng's fief is Lianzhou, which means that the legitimate fief of Duke Lianguo is only 30% of Lianzhou's current fief. Could it be that someone wants to take the opportunity to return the land and divide the Lianzhou into two?
On this point, Li Dongdong knew that Duke Lian would never agree. Now every inch of land in Lianzhou is valuable. On the land originally belonged to Annan, there are countless workshops and ports. Once they are given up, it will not only cause great losses to Duke Lian, but also have a very bad impact on the Ming Dynasty. Think about it, the hen that lays golden eggs was distributed to Annan, which accounted for 70% of the area, so many workshops, so many ports, and a large number of craftsmen, some of which were secret firearm workshops in the Ming Dynasty. Wouldn't Annan pick up a big advantage?
With Duke Lian’s character of only entering and not leaving, he would definitely not agree with this matter.
And these people suddenly started from Lianzhou, maybe it was to be detrimental to the prince.
Li Dongdong felt that he had to be careful. One mistake could have a very bad impact, and he had to re-examine the matter.
Judging from the clues now, it should be that the court has a great sense of guard against Duke Lian, so it is determined to start from Lianzhou. The newspapers just create momentum first, and then, it is probably the person behind the scenes who come forward to impeach.
The target of impeachment is naturally the land that the court did not recognize. Since you, Liu Chengfeng, is the duke of the Ming Dynasty, has already granted a special mercy to enfeoff the fief, but now you embezzle the land of the Annan people, making people mistakenly believe that the upper states of the Celestial Empire bullies the lower states. Therefore, these people must use this matter to ask Liu Chengfeng to return all the embezzled land. It is obvious that these people certainly know that Liu Chengfeng will never return it, but...
A problem arises again. Do these people think that they want to bring down Duke Lian based on the fiefdom alone?
This is absolutely impossible. Anyone with a little bit of mind knows that unless Duke Lian plots rebellion, no one can touch him at all. But what are these people making these things suddenly?
Secretly crossing Chen Cang?
Li Dongdong felt that he had noticed something. These people were talking about things through their fiefdoms, but they might be looking for an excuse to criticize Liu Chengfeng first. Since Liu Chengfeng refused to give in, the one who was embarrassed must be the palace. The palace was sandwiched between Duke Lian's refusal to give in and Dayi, and they would definitely be in a dilemma. These people must be trying to force the palace to make concessions on another matter.
What is this matter?
The more Li Dongdong thought about it, the more he felt that he had no clue, as if he always felt that he was always confused.
He sighed and smiled bitterly at Editor-in-Chief Peng Wen: "To be honest, I have no clue now. I just think this matter is too incredible. Editor-in-Chief Peng, what news do you receive in the newspaper office?"
Peng Wen shook his head: "It's good that there is news. I didn't say it just now. This matter is too strange. I always feel that someone wants to disturb the situation, but I feel that I have no clue. I just need to study here for a few days. But sooner or later I have to follow up on the matter in Lianzhou. I just need Mr. Li to make an idea about how to report it."
It is better to be unblocked than to block it. If you don’t care about this matter, others will only think that you don’t care about it. Therefore, this matter must be reported. Now Lianzhou has become a hot topic. If you don’t report it, it will have a great impact on sales. Now, what is in front of Peng Wen is the question of how to report it.
Li Dongdong pondered for a moment and could only say, "For the time being, report some things about the edges and corners, and introduce the customs and customs of Lianzhou. Isn't it said that although the lands in Lianzhou were originally land in Annan, there were also many Han people? Especially now, the Han people have accounted for 80% of the population. At least I would like to tell you that these lands are now the people of the Ming Dynasty. If the land is returned, I don't know how many people will lose their careers. Also, these lands were recognized by the Annan people. Although the court did not recognize these lands, the Annan people did not recognize that these lands belong to Annan. At most, this is also a land without absent, and this matter must be explained clearly."
Peng Wen nodded and said, "This is the only way to do it now, but the students think that this matter is not so easy. Mr. Li, Duke Lian is far away in Jiangxi, so there is no mistake in what happened here."
Li Dongdong nodded with a serious expression.
Immediately, the two said goodbye, leaving only Li Dongdong, who was still suspicious.
Li Dongdong felt that a conspiracy was brewing, but who was leading the conspiracy? It was impossible for some small fish and shrimp. These people did not have such great energy. The only possibility was... a big boss in the court. I am afraid that even his own tribe brother would have this matter.
Li Dongdong took a deep breath. If it had something to do with his clan brother, then things would be extraordinary. If the clan brother took action, it would be absolutely extraordinary.
Li Dongdong thought for a moment, then immediately wrote a letter, quickly asking someone to send it to Jiangxi... Xueerbao finally took action. Although this action was late, the general manager became the mainstay. Other newspapers accused Duke Lian of embezzling the land, while Xueerbao spoke from their perspective under the guise of maintaining livelihoods for the people in Lianzhou.
How many households in Lianzhou are there now? Now there are more than 700,000 households. What is the concept of 700,000 households? That is, more than 2 million people, so many people rely on Lianzhou to make a living, so many people rely on Lianzhou to make a living, not to mention that many wealthy families in the world have purchased land in Lianzhou and started various businesses. They are telling others in their own words that once these land is returned, millions of refugees will be born in the Ming Dynasty, and tens of thousands of businessmen will go bankrupt. Even Lianzhou pays taxes from the court every year, which will be greatly affected.
What the scholarship and rewards are posing for the people. At this point, it can also be seen that the editor-in-chief Peng Wen is old-fashioned. He cannot make people feel that learning and rewards favor Liu Chengfeng, and must make themselves in an impartial position. At the same time, it must also make people feel that learning and rewards have a great sense of social responsibility, and pleading for the people is the greatest sense of responsibility.
At the same time, Xueersi refuted some extreme remarks. Although the Ming Dynasty did not recognize these lands, don’t forget that Annan Kingdom has not regarded that land as its territory now. At most, it is just a land without a border. It is a land without a border, and it is also a land without a border, and what to do about embezzlement?
As soon as the scholar-and-reporter was released, some newspapers immediately parrot and followed the scholar-and-reporter. There were also quite a few newspapers fighting with scholar-and-reporter, and major newspapers fighting each other, verbally fighting with each other.
And in this public opinion battle, the first impeachment memorial was finally handed over.
The person who submitted the memorial was an unknown little imperial envoy. He had no qualifications and did not seem to be very prominent in his background. However, such a person was obviously the most ideal person to challenge the matter. The memorial was quickly sent to the cabinet, and the cabinet sent the memorial to the palace without hesitation.
The memorial was naturally Liu Chengfeng, and the reason was also the land of Lianzhou. Lianzhou embezzled the land of the vassal state, which greatly affected the reputation of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he asked the court to immediately issue an order to return Lianzhou. Otherwise, the court would lose all its kindness, and all countries knew the power of the Ming Dynasty, but did not hear its virtue... Chapter 1 is sent, please ask for a monthly ticket.
