When Donglin's thugs left the cabinet, they were in a complicated mood. Zhou Yanru did not take care of the matter, but only talked about a general concept and asked them to find a way for themselves.

What is the solution? What can be used is just Donglin’s old routine of organizing literary gatherings, publishing collections, and creating momentum in Shilin.

The problem at the moment is that the big guys in Donglin are basically in Nanjing, and there is no manager in Beijing who can do anything.

A lack of managers will lead to a very difficult problem. Doing these things cost money? Where does the money come from? Ruan Laogou printed thousands of newspapers at one time in Beijing. The cost of a newspaper is more than ten cents, which means that the cost of printing these costs is nearly 100 taels of silver. I heard that Ruan Laogou printed every five days, and he may have to spend more than hundreds of taels of silver in a month.

The sealed document book is not big. If you want to put together the contents in it, you have to hold a literary meeting. The literary meeting must not be held in any place, at least in a famous brothel in the capital, right? You must not hire a famous top brand? You must not make the show look like a little? I am afraid that you can’t get it without a few thousand taels of silver?

Thousand taels of silver are not small amounts, and it is a big sum of money to be paid by anyone! The Donglin Party does not have fixed funds, so no one wants to pay for this money. To be honest, ordinary censors are not rich people, so it is not easy to ask them to take out thousands of taels of silver at once.

Everyone discussed it and thought that things had to be done. Let’s make up the funds. Let’s spend a ten or two head office each? Make up some money, and then make up some things from the big guys in the capital to fix the matter first. The main funds have to be written to the south so that the real rich people can solve it. We can’t both fight and spend money on both sides, right?

A few days later, Zhou Yanru received a post at home, and the post said that it was just to come to Qiufeng to ask for sponsorship fees.

"Go and send a hundred taels of silver to the Wenhui Association and tell them that the state is busy, so I will not attend!" Zhou Yanru ordered the funding share to the staff and asked them to hurry up and implement it.

"Dongweng, isn't the 100 taels of silver a little less? The students are afraid that those who hold the meeting will underestimate the gentleman."

"A lot! We should not get involved in literary affairs. Who knows what this matter will end up like! Just give a hundred taels of silver to make a point. Now, where the wind is blowing, I can't see the direction clearly." Zhou Yanru can basically confirm that the emperor's support for Ruan Dacheng is quite strong and has a deep involvement in the business of the Xinmin Times.

The purpose of doing this is self-evident. The emperor wanted to use Ruan Dacheng's knife to move the cakes of Donglin and the gentry and nobles in the world. The article "Nine Questions of the Ming Dynasty" published in the Xinming Times clearly wrote that the wealth of the world flowed into the pockets of the evil gentry. It seems that the emperor's plan this time is quite good, and his strategy is quite old. In this case, Zhou Yanru felt that it would be better not to stand in the wind.

Zhu Youjian is not very concerned about the turmoil caused by the Xinmin Times. The bullet has just been fired, so let Fei talk about it later. The situation is that there is a little movement in the censor group in the capital. There has not been a real big discussion yet. Let's talk about it after this matter fermented for a while!

The battlefield of Penkazi has begun to be fought, and the gun can't be relaxed. The main force of the new army is now concentrated in the Miyun area, and there is only one brigade of left-behind troops on the Xishan Camp, so Zhu Youjian no longer needs to go to Xishan Camp to see the gun. He went to the General School Hall in Xiyuan to check the situation. He has not focused his main energy on this recently, and he is too busy.

After going to the general school in Xiyuan, he taught the elite students a strategic thinking class. Zhu Youjian was still unsatisfied, and he felt that he had to teach a class to new students. In recent months, the treatment of new students has not been better than before. In the past, students who were able to meet their principal every few days, but now students are not good, and it is not easy to meet once in a while.

You still have to increase your exposure among the students in the school, otherwise the principal will be useless? No mistake made by a bald principal in later generations can be made, and a political and educational director can poach a large number of good students and good teachers.

He went to give lectures to the students with great enthusiasm, and he even thought about it. After class, he would hold a discussion meeting with these students, and have a discussion with everyone about the relationship between teachers and students and care about the students' lives.

But as soon as he entered the freshman classroom, Zhu Youjian's mood was affected. Why were there only more than 30 people? Where did the rest go?

"Fang Zhenghua, where did the other students go?" These people in the school didn't take themselves as emperor seriously, so they made such a few students come to listen to the class. Where did the other students go?

"Principal, there are only so many students entering the church this month, and my subordinates have already concentrated them all here." Fang Zhenghua quickly replied when the emperor spoke in a bad tone. He didn't know what the emperor was thinking, and stipulated that everyone in the school would call him the principal.

There are only so many people? Only a month have attracted so many people! That is, a few months ago, hundreds of people who entered the church in January. It has only been a few months since then. Why can't even get a hundred people together? Zhu Youjian was shocked when he heard Fang Zhenghua's report.

He suppressed his shock and barely finished a lecture after a class. Zhu Youjian quickly gathered Fang Zhenghua and others to gather the management of the school, and had to figure out the reason for this matter as soon as possible.

"When did Fangzhenghua start to reduce the number of students in the school? Why didn't you inform me of such a big thing earlier?"

"Principal, the sharp reduction happened last month. Last month, the new students of the new period were barely enough to collect a hundred people. I thought it was because of the busy farming work, which delayed everyone's admission. But I never thought that the situation this month was even worse. I was preparing to write a memorial to Your Majesty."

Starting last month? This should not be an adverse impact of the war. The situation in the Ming Dynasty has not been bad in recent months.

"What exactly caused the sharp decline in student sources?"

"Principal, lower-level people think that there may not be many students in the folk who are qualified to enroll in the school. In fact, recently, there have been quite a few people who have signed up, but they are basically unqualified. Many people answer the simplest admission test paper, but they can't even get 40 points. Some of them have enough scores in the written test, but basically they don't have any riding skills or martial arts skills, and many people can't get on the war horse."

Ah? The situation is so bad! After listening to the explanation of Fang Zhenghua and others, Zhu Youjian realized that the situation may be even worse than he thought. It’s not that no one came to the school hall, but that the people who meet the standards have dried up. To be honest, the admission threshold for school halls can be said to be set with the lowest admission standards. You can be recruited with a little bit of riding and martial arts foundation. But even with such standards, you can’t select a hundred students in a month.

What does this mean? It means that the entire Ming Dynasty had accumulated almost all the old capitals in hundreds of years, and almost all the money they could be dug out. The Ming Dynasty's family was emptied in just over a year.
