Although Lian Zhenji's tone of speaking is not as yin and yang as before, Mao Pijiang disagrees with the content.

He said: "The King of Pingxi, which was conferred by the Qing emperors, can count? I am afraid that a hundred years later, Wu Sangui will be called a traitor, and Chen Yuanyuan will be scolded with him."

What did Lian Zhenji want to say, and the servant Chen Zhenhui came with two newspapers.

Chen Zhenhui took it and was immediately surprised, "This "Da Ming Pao" is so exquisite!"

Mao Pijiang stood up and took another piece, and sighed, "This paper is a top-notch paper, and the printing is far more than that of the current world... How much does this "Da Ming Pao" cost?"

The last sentence was asked by Chen Zhenhui's servant.

The servant replied humbly: "A copy of ten cents is said to be sold at 50% off for the first issue of newspapers."

"So cheap?" Mao Pijiang was surprised, "Even if it is not discounted, it is only twenty words. Although this newspaper is thin, the cover is eighty, so I only bought twenty words? Then Liu Rushi is

Want to lose money and earn a reputation?”

While speaking, Mao Pijiang stared at the newspaper cover.

I saw that the newspaper seemed a little big, one foot long vertically and about two-thirds wide horizontally.

The following third is based on white, with the three words "Big News" written horizontally.

Mao Pijiang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he should read from left to right, which is the "Ming Dynasty".

At the bottom right, that is, the bottom right corner of the cover, there is a line of small characters that are read from left to right: the first issue of the "Da Ming Pao" weekly issue, released on August 1st year of Zhaowu.

Mao Pijiang knew about "Ju Dou" and was mostly used by scholars in private, and it was not a norm. However, this was the first time he had seen this formally used in a "book".

However, what attracted Mao Pijiang's attention the most was the bright pattern on the cover.

It is based on bright red, with bright yellow sun and snow-white crescent moon hugging each other, and a slight red line in the middle to distinguish the two.

Mao Pijiang stayed in Nanjing all year round and had traveled all over the south of the Yangtze River, which is quite knowledgeable.

At this moment, I couldn't help but widen my eyes and thought to myself: This is my Ming national flag!

The Ming Dynasty and the previous dynasties did not have national flags, but as Emperor Longqing opened the sea and had contact with overseas countries, they found that many countries had national flags, so they ordered the Sun and Moon flag to be the national flag of the Ming Dynasty.

Not many people know about this in the country, but in the past, some sea chalks of sea hang sun and moon flags on their ships.

In addition, the previous Sun and Moon Flag was not like this - the Sun and Moon Flag on the cover was obviously more concise and atmospheric, and it was unprecedented to use bright red as the background.

But it’s okay if Liu Rushi runs a newspaper, how dare he tamper with the national flag privately?

Even if this national flag is not taken seriously in the Ming Dynasty, if it is repaid by someone who is interested, Liu Rushi may be guilty, right?

When Mao Pijiang was thinking so, he heard Chen Zhenhui's surprise and spoke again.

"This, was it actually Liu Rushi's order to handle the "Da Ming Pao"? She actually became an official in the court?"

The previous "Da Ming Pao" was quite exquisite and novel cover, which only made Hou Fangyu, Lian Zhenji and Bian Yujing visit him curiously, and did not rush to come and watch.

But after hearing Chen Zhenhui's words, the few people could no longer calm down.

"Sister Liu is a female official?" Dong Xiaowan said in surprise, then put down the tea set and came to Mao Pijiang to watch.

I happened to see Mao Pijiang turning the cover and seeing a lot of lines printed on the back of the cover.

The first line is larger and bold: spread the holy will! Open the people’s wisdom! Guide the atmosphere!

The second line: The Daming Pao is specially organized by the Daming Pao newspaper under the Propaganda Department!

Prosecuted by the newspaper: Liu Rushi

Editor-in-chief of the newspaper: Liu Rushi

"Da Ming Pao" was first established and urgently needed good talents. It currently has the following positions. Anyone who knows the text and writes can come and apply for a job!

Then there are a series of newspaper positions...

Mao Pijiang looked at him so hard that his mouth was dry and his mind could not think for a moment.

Dong Xiaowan reacted slowly and muttered: "Why are the words in this newspaper written horizontally from left to right?

Hey, Sister Liu actually did the training. I remember that the training seemed to be a formal official position in the previous six departments, right? What rank is there?"

"It's the eighth grade!" Chen Zhenhui, who was standing beside him, replied, "Generally speaking, even if he is a Jinshi and is first taught in the sixth department, many of them start from the eighth grade.

Your Majesty actually used a woman as a official, and was a woman from a brothel. This is really...

What is really, Chen Zhenhui couldn't say for a moment.

When he felt Bian Yujing and Dong Xiaowan looked at him, he realized that what he said just now was a little inappropriate, but he didn't take it seriously.

In Chen Zhenhui's perception, brothel women are already lowly. Since they can do it, how can they not be said?

Chen Zhenhui continued to read the official content of the newspaper and frowned as soon as she caught her eyes.

The text is arranged in a horizontal arrangement from left to right, so he can overcome it; he is too lazy to care about all the strange symbols such as sentences; but what the hell is this article making words?

"The new policy was implemented in Yingtian Prefecture for two months, and now all counties have been implemented, and the gentry and the people have responded well.

Your Majesty said that while consolidating the achievements of the new policy, we must continue to deepen various reforms and correct mistakes in a timely manner, and ensure that the new policy benefits the people but does not harm the people... "

As he looked, Chen Zhenhui's muscles on her face were twisted and her beard began to tremble.

After reading only two or three paragraphs, he couldn't help but put the newspaper on the low table in front of him and said angrily: "It's because Liu Rushi was famous for his poetry and essays in Qinhuai in the past. His Majesty gave her an official position and asked her to run a newspaper, so she did it like this.

?

Even if her maid writes, she wouldn't have written such a vernacular article, right?

Such a "Da Ming Pao" may make the scholars in the world laugh out loud, and she, Liu Rushi, was simply in vain to bear the holy grace!"

Chen Zhenhui is really angry and uncomfortable.

I think Chen Dingsheng is full of talent, but failed the imperial examinations many times. He is still a scholar and cannot meet the minimum standard of becoming an official. Even if he is full of ambitions, he still has no way to serve the country.

Liu Rushi, who was born a lowly person from a brothel, was credited to His Majesty. When he started this, he was going to replace the newspapers and newspapers, but he fooled them with such a plain article.

It's so annoying!

Mao Pijiang also frowned when he read it - those who have been studying for many years are the most unreadable for junk articles.

However, after enduring all kinds of discomfort, Mao Pijiang saw some tricks.

"I think the article in the Ming Dynasty seems to be written in plain language on purpose. But since the Ming Dynasty stated that it was specially handled under the order, wouldn't such actions be detrimental to the court?"

Dong Xiaowan couldn't help but mutter: "I think this article is easy to read, the text is straightforward and you can understand it at first glance."

She was originally a businesswoman and was famous for her embroidery, cooking and tea art. She is probably the one with the worst literary literacy among the eight beauties of Qinhuai.

Therefore, I feel that this newspaper is quite attractive. Unlike other books and articles, they are all the same. They are so rude that ordinary people can't understand.

Because of Chen Zhenhui and Mao Pijiang were surprised, happy and angry, there were too many things to reveal. Bian Yujing, who had been pretending to be calm next to the easel, could not help but be unable to control himself.

She got up and walked to the window of the pleasure boat, wanting to buy another copy of the "Da Ming Pao", but she saw that the newspaper boy was surrounded by people, and the thick stack of newspapers on his back was about to be sold out.

This was not beyond Bian Yujing's expectations.

There is no one to entertain. The Ming Pao is so novel and cheap. Nanjing is also a place of culture, so it is not surprising that it is robbed as soon as it comes out.

Realizing that even if the maid is sent to buy it now, he will definitely not be able to buy it, so Bian Yujing had to give up.

She came to Chen Dingsheng and said, "Is this newspaper to my family and my two sisters to read, and Mr. Chen and Mr. Mao read one together?"

Although Chen Zhenhui looked down on the brothel women, she was not stingy when facing the young women. She nodded immediately, "Just take it away."

After saying that, he drank tea—he was so angry that he needed to ease.

When Bian Yujing greeted Dong Xiaowan, Bian Min read the newspaper together, Hou Fangyu also pulled Lian Zhenji to Mao Pijiang's side...

At the same time, the newly published "Da Ming Pao" is almost discussed inside and outside Nanjing.

In order to promote it, Liu Rushi also sent someone to sell newspapers while reading newspapers at the place where the government posted announcements.

Unlike some novels, newspapers are unwilling to be found.

There is no shortage of literate people in Nanjing, but there are very few fresh reading materials, and newspapers are exquisitely printed and cheap, so naturally, many people rush to buy them as soon as they appear.

Look, hundreds of newspapers on the bulletin board near Yingchunfang were sold out soon.

Some people didn't buy it, but they didn't want to disperse, and all kinds of shouting mixed together.

"I said, can you sell this newspaper too cheaply, right?"

"Who has the "Da Ming Pao"? I'm willing to bid for one or two silver!"

"Do you still sell it here? If you don't sell it, I'll go find it elsewhere!"

“···”

The person in charge of the sales was an official in the newspaper. Seeing this, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't worry, everyone, I have sent someone to the printing factory to get the newspaper. In addition, our printing factory is still printing. Please wait if you want to buy it.

.If you really can’t wait, you can listen to us reading the newspaper.”
