At dusk, the golden light shines brightly, and the smell of mugwort leaves drifted in the slightly dim grid, driving away mosquitoes.

To the west of Wuyou Hall, Jia Huan was introducing the situation of Pravda to several classmates.

Zhang Sishui, Liu Yichen, and Liu Guoshan are in the Jia Mansion. Luo Junzi, Pang Ze, Qiao Rusong, and Qin Hongtu came from Wendao Academy in Dongzhuang Town. Weiyang's family is in Xianyifang in Xicheng. Ji Ming, a new Jinshi, was intern in the Ministry of Works, and Xu Yinglang was intern in the Ministry of War.

Everyone sat in groups of three or three in the small hall. Jia Huan sat in the middle and said calmly: "He Xiang means that I hope I can use the retribution of truth to create public opinion and break the deadlock to increase the commercial tax rate."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pang Ze, who had run a newspaper with Jia Huan in Jinling, said bluntly: "It's difficult!"

Pang Ze has an ugly appearance, a big nose, and is wearing a blue Lan shirt. He is neatly dressed and has a slightly fat body. He looks carefully taken care of by his wife. He is talented, but his subjects are not going well. He has not passed the provincial examinations for two subjects.

With Pang Ze's talent and experience in running newspapers, he made such a conclusion and the atmosphere suddenly became a little dull.

Qiao Rusong smiled and shook his head, pointing out incisively: "It's not difficult to fall on Zi Yu's head." He was the same as Pang Ze. Before he passed the two subjects, Jia Huan wrote a letter to Wendao Academy to invite him, so he temporarily abandoned the book and came to do the practice.

In Jia Huan's situation, although his official position was promoted to the sixth rank, he was "exiled" to the King of Wu's Mansion by the emperor, which was marginalized. No matter how much Grand Secretary He values ​​Jia Huan, he would not be able to hand over a relaxed thing to Jia Huan. Only when a capable person can make undestroyable contributions, can Jia Huan's career improve.

Luo Xiangyang sat on the chair, sitting very well, but his expression was a little decadent, and asked, "Ziyu, didn't you say you wanted to keep a low profile? Why did you still take on such a thing?" He came to the capital to relax, not to publish a newspaper.

This year, Luo Junzi was ranked eighth in the high school entrance examination this year. The progress was obvious. According to the trend this year, the museum selected Shujishi and his career was smooth. However, during the palace examination, Grand Secretary He did not like his style (vowed) and said: "Why is the national talent ceremony for personal gaining fame?" Luo Junzi's ranking was lowered and set it in the middle of the second grade.

If Junzi Luo resigns from office, he will not give up.

He came to the Jia Mansion from the academy, not to help Jia Huan run a newspaper, but to relax. As close as a senior brother, Jia Huan knew the reason: he had a crush on Jia Xichun. Luo Junzi had a character and had no choice but to learn, but Jia Huan would never make up for the match.

Jia Huan pondered and sighed softly: "Junzi Luo, this time, that time. Now the situation is different!" He actually prefers to live a few years of relaxed and peaceful life.

Like a few days ago, I accompanied my beautiful wife and beauty in Hongxiangpu, and my sisters were having wine and practicing orders, and even having Xiangyun drunkenly lying down, which was also a happy life! In a few years, the fragrances in the Grand View Garden have dispersed. How many more time can there be such a wonderful time?

However, the situation was unstoppable! Although Jia Huan was not successful in his career, the news was not blocked. It was just a delay. Prince Shun could judge the political changes: the emperor was negligent. Jia Huan naturally also judged it.

The emperor's negligence in politics is very simple, with only four words, but in fact, it is a new round of power reshuffle. This point can be understood by referring to the actions of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang during the Tianbao period.

Jia Huan has been thinking about Yuanchun's recent situation because Jia Yuanchun ordered the Jia family to hold a ceremony these days, and his hidden worries are increasing. He originally thought that the Grand Secretary asked him to run a newspaper, but he just occupied the public opinion position. He didn't care much.

Grand Secretary He presided over the central government of the court, but he still couldn't control the censors and the six entries. Jia Huan thought that Grand Secretary wanted to cleanse censors. From the perspective of the ruling, no one would like censors to "find faults" all day long. Strong prime ministers basically seek to control the subject and control public opinion.

Therefore, Jia Huan didn't care much. He was not afraid of talking. However, when he met Grand Secretary He today, he realized that the purpose of running a newspaper was to create public opinion that increased commercial taxes.

Then, the opponent is not a censor, but a related interest group. However, Jia Huan still agreed immediately because, in this power reshuffle, he hopes to get some chips or increase his voice. Yuanchun is really worried.

Disaster is the basis of good fortune, and good fortune is the basis of bad fortune! Yuanchun is pregnant at this time. This matter, with a magnifying glass, repeated speculation and consideration, may not be a good thing.

What I like is that if I give birth to a prince, Yuanchun's status in the palace will be more stable. The mother is noble because of her son, which is a tradition that has not changed for thousands of years. Those who worry about being pregnant for ten months means that they will lose favor for ten months. Ten months will be enough to engage in political conspiracy.

Are there any enemies in the Jia family?

Jia Huan picked up the celadon tea cup and took a sip of the tea gently, his expression becoming more and more calm.

…

…

Luo Xiangyang nodded at Jia Huan's sigh. Fate always believed that he had too many humorous ideas and could not help me. This was the case with him, and so was Yu Ziyu.

All the classmates discussed it together, but they were not optimistic, including Xu Yinglang, who is cheerful and likes to joke. He talked about this with his father Xu Cheng a few days ago.

In fact, everyone in the Wendao Academy is familiar with public opinion, propaganda, and everyone has their own experiences. However, the basis of all propaganda work is strength. How is this possible with public opinion to suppress "interest groups" and bow their heads, bleeding, and agree to increase commercial taxes?

You should know that all the officials of the court and senior officials of the department are basically in business. Moreover, most of them are monopoly. Without official care, business cannot be done in the Great Zhou Dynasty! This does not include royal family members, military generals, nobles, officials and juren who retired. These are all groups that do not pay taxes.

Not to mention the 15th tax, or 1th tax, or 1th tax. How can I collect this tax? The difficulty is not ordinary!

Jia Huan explained: "So, while I promised He Xiang, I asked him to give me a year to develop Pravda. We plan for the worst and work hard for the best results.

My idea is to take three steps. First, we must gain a foothold and promote the brand of Judeath. Second, we must expand our influence and use other things to test the depth of the water. Third, we must bombard and debate."

Jia Huan listed the steps and schedules and discussed strategies with all the students. Jia Huan was actually a little confident in whether he could succeed.

Because, in the final analysis, increasing commercial tax revenue is to maintain the rule of the Zhou Dynasty. As long as the majority of the ruling class "unity" and reach a consensus, and impose a little commercial tax, it will not cause too strong rebound.

We must always understand one thing: those who oppose and agree with are minorities, and the centrists are the majority. Therefore, to mobilize public opinion is to compete for the centrists, form a joint force, and achieve the goal.

Time passed slowly during the discussion. Dinner was also eaten during the discussion. Copywriting was constantly forming. Jia Huan began to assign tasks one by one.

Wei Yang, Xu Yinglang, and Ji Ming were not involved. Wei Dantong had to concentrate on studying. Xu and Ji were in the officialdom and were not convenient to get involved. However, when discussing things, Jia Huan still wanted to call them over. This was the recognition of the group. Luo Junzi arrested Jia Huan for the strong men.

After a discussion late at night, there were many houses in Wuyou Hall. Jia Huan asked Yuan Bo to arrange for everyone to live there.

After each settled down, Xu Yinglang went to the next door to chat with his friend Qiao Rusong. They were friends for many years. The moonlight was so clear. In the cool living room of the courtyard, it was cool and quiet.

By the bamboo table, Qiao Rusong pondered and asked, "Wenqian, do you think this matter can be done? What does your father think?"

Xu Yinglang shook his head and said bluntly: "Youruo, this matter cannot be done! Ziyu is too optimistic. However, Grand Secretary He treats Ziyu very well, and he is afraid he can't push it. Let's do our best to help Ziyu. Ha, it may not be necessary that during the debate, we will still have to end up like us!

Do you know? In the court, the two Grand Secretary Liu and Han did not agree with this matter. The character of these two people is recognized by the world. They both have this attitude. Song Tianguan directly said that Grand Secretary He was inflated and forgot about it."

Song Tianguan was Song Pu, the Minister of Personnel. This is one of the few big bosses in the foreign courts who can not give face to the prime minister.

Qiao Rusong smiled bitterly, "That's what he said."

This is a bit ugly. But he knew that Grand Secretary He was not wrong. Grand Secretary He ruled impartially and went to the point of seeing difficulties. Without increasing commercial taxes, would he exploit the common people? For example, during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, Liao pay was added?

However, he is indeed not optimistic about Jia Huan's ideas.
