????????The next morning, Zhu Yuyao summoned Liu Rushi at Wuying Hall.

?????????"I am here to see Your Majesty."

?????????"Ping Shen."

?????????"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the ceremony, Zhu Yusao asked: "I want to change the ten-day issue of the "Da Ming Bao" to a half-decade issue, and publish one issue every five days. What do you think?"

Liu Rushi thought for a while and said, "Weichen thinks it is feasible. In fact, a month or two ago, Weichen learned that many scholars hope that "Da Ming Bao" can be published more.

????????I just thought that the conditions of the newspaper were not mature enough at that time, so I did not raise this matter with His Majesty."

?????????"That means that the conditions are now mature?"

????????Liu Rushi said cautiously: "I can do it reluctantly."

?????????"Be more specific."

????????Although Zhu Yuluo hoped that "Da Ming Pao" would become a five-day publication, he did not want the quality of the newspaper to decline significantly.

????????Liu Rushi said: "If newspapers and periodicals want to publish frequently, the content must keep up. Since the publication of Daming Newspaper on August 1, it has lasted four or five months and published a total of fourteen issues.

Not only has the newspaper cultivated a group of reporters who are good at writing vernacular articles on politics, military, business, and culture, but it has also cultivated a group of available review editors.

????????If the Ming Pao becomes a five-day publication and allows others to submit articles for publication, there will be no shortage of content.

????????As for the printing, distribution and other aspects of the newspaper, they are also more mature and can fully undertake heavier tasks."

????????Zhu Yuyao nodded and said: "Since it is feasible, then after you go down, discuss with the people at the newspaper office and write a plan for converting the "Da Ming Daily" into a five-day publication and submit it.

?????????We will strive to officially convert the "Da Ming Pao" into a five-day publication after the Lantern Festival next spring."

????????"yes."

????????Speaking of this, Zhu Yuyao thought of another thing.

?????????"Are there many pirated copies of "Daming Daily" on the market today?"

?????????"Piracy?" Liu Rushi was puzzled for a moment.

????????Zhu Yuluo explained: "It is like the situation where the Beijing News copied the content of the Di Daily, that is, without the permission of the newspaper, it reprinted the content of the Ming Newspaper in the name of other newspapers, or completely copied it.

Contents of Da Ming Bao.”

????????Liu Rushi was promoted as a newspaper publisher and is very concerned about this career. She knows most things about newspapers and periodicals.

Hearing this, she immediately said: "This is indeed the case, among which the Beijing News is the most famous. Some people have even regarded some articles or things reported in the Ming News as the first issue of the Beijing News."

????????Zhu Yurao thought for a while and suddenly asked: "If I transfer you from the newspaper office, will there be a suitable person to take over?"

????????Liu Rushi didn't expect Zhu A'ao to ask this suddenly, and he pondered for a moment.

?????????Based on the conversation just now, she vaguely felt that Zhu Yuluo was probably going to promote her to shoulder a heavier responsibility.

Liu Rushi was fortunate enough to enter the official career as a woman, so Liu Rushi was naturally happy to be promoted. However, after thinking about it, she still felt that the newspaper office could not do without her, or that she could not safely leave it to others.

????????So he said: "Your Majesty, I have no suitable candidate in my mind. After all, the newspaper has only been established for less than half a year, and reporters, editors and other officials are still figuring out how to do things."

???????? Zhu Yuluo was actually planning to establish the Press and Publication Bureau of the Ming Dynasty, and wanted to promote Liu Rushi to be the director of the Publishing Bureau.

????????But the newspaper company couldn't do without Liu Rushi for the time being, so she had to choose another person.

????????Immediately, she mentioned the main purpose of summoning Liu Rushi this time.

?????????"I want to form a national art troupe of the Ming Dynasty to promote the imperial policies through songs, operas, operas and other forms of entertainment that are loved by the people.

????????This art troupe will be placed under the Propaganda Department, and it needs a person in charge to take charge of all aspects of affairs. Liu Qing should know some people with talents in this field, right? Maybe he can recommend one or two?"

????????After listening to Zhu Aao's words, Liu Rushi frowned slightly for a while to understand the meaning.

????????If Zhu Yurao said that the art troupe was formed to pass the time in the palace or to entertain officials, Liu Rushi would understand it immediately.

????????But Zhu Aelao said that she should use songs, operas and operas to promote the court's policies, so she was a little confused.

Although she had some guesses in her mind, she was not sure, so she erred on the side of caution and said, "How can a humble minister who is dull and ignorant of songs, operas, and dramas be able to promote the imperial government's policies?"

????????Zhu Aolao smiled and immediately explained it to Liu Rushi in detail. He even used his tablet computer to find a model play from later generations for Liu Rushi to watch.

After understanding this, Liu Rushi was suddenly enlightened and very excited.

?????????She said with a flushed face: "Weichen has lived for more than twenty years, and most of the time he has been in the hook bar, entertaining people with sex and art.

????????I thought that songs, operas, operas, etc. were all entertainment and pastimes for the wealthy, but I never thought that they could be used to promote the court’s policies to the people!”

????????Zhu Ayao smiled and said, "Actually, it's not true, but in the past, such works mostly advocated loyalty, filial piety and benevolence, or spread the beauty of love, revealed the grievances and sufferings of the people, etc.

????????The fact that I established an art troupe and asked people to write and direct new plays is just a further step on this basis."

????????Liu Rushi thought about it again and found that it was indeed the case.

For example, Guan Hanqing, a famous dramatist in the Yuan Dynasty, wrote "The Injustice of Dou E", "The Injustice of Dou E", "Zhao Pan'er Fengyue Saves Fengchen", "Zhuangyuantang Chen's Mother Teaches Her Son", etc., either to spread virtues or to reveal the truth.

Corrupt officials act with contempt for human lives.

????????Then, of course, opera can also be used to promote the court's policies.

????????For example, the land tax reform that caused a lot of commotion some time ago.

After understanding Zhu Yurao's role in establishing the art troupe, Liu Rushi first wanted to recommend her husband Qian Qianyi, because Qian Qianyi did have literary talent and knowledge of opera and was qualified for the job.

????????But then she thought that Zhu Yuyao had already expressed her attitude that she would no longer use Qian Qianyi.

?????????So, not only would she not be successful in recommending Qian Qianyi, but she might also be alienated by Zhu Auao.

????????Immediately afterwards, Liu Rushi thought of another person, Ruan Dayue.

The reason why this is so is because Ruan Dajue's research on drama was indeed among the top during the Ming Dynasty. More than ten kinds of operas he created are still popular in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

?????????However, Ruan Dayue was not only on Zhu Yurao's banned list like Qian Qianyi, but he was also a traitor during the Hongguang Puppet Emperor period and offended countless people.

????????Even if Ruan Dayue returns as the director of a small art troupe, I am afraid it will arouse opposition from many people.

????????But if Ruan Dajue can’t do it, who else can she recommend?

?????????"Is it possible that Liu Qing has no one to recommend?"

????????Zhu Yasuo’s question brought Liu Rushi back to her senses. She hesitated for a moment and said: “In terms of drama accomplishments in this world, Ruan Dayue is the highest. However, Ruan Dayue is a traitor, and no humble minister dares to do so.

recommend.

?????????However, as far as Wei Chen knows, Ruan Dajue's daughter Ruan Lizhen was influenced by her father since she was a child. She is also good at screenwriting, composing music, playing the piano, etc. She was once known as the "Jiangnan Talented Girl" and has written

"Dream of Tiger", "Luan Pa Blood", "Burning Tianlu Cong Lu" and other dramas.

????????If Your Majesty doesn’t care about his background, he might be able to use it.”

????????Zhu Ailao was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "Ruan Dayue and I just dismissed him from office and will never use him again. There are no other charges. How can we blame him and his daughter?

?????????Tell me, how old is Ruan Lizhen now? Where is she?"

Liu Rushi said: "Ruan Lizhen should be in her thirties now. I heard that she married Cao Taiwang, the son of Cao Luji of Taiping Prefecture, in her early years. As expected, she should still be in the Cao family today."

?????????"Is Cao Luji quite famous?" Zhu Auao asked.

????????She understood that if Cao Luji was not famous, Liu Rushi would not mention his name.

Liu Rushi said: "Cao Luji was a Jinshi during the Wanli period, and was promoted to Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple. He was quite famous in his early years."

After hearing this, Zhu Ainao nodded slightly and asked Liu Rushi to step back.

After Liu Rushi left, Zhu Yushuo asked: "Does your husband think it's okay to let Ruan Lizhen preside over the art troupe?"

Hao Guangming said: "I checked Ruan Lizhen's information, and she is indeed a talented woman who is good at screenwriting and composing music.

????????However, judging from the few operas she has handed down from generation to generation, as well as her background, she is probably only good at composing women's love operas. It would be difficult for her to compose dramas that the common people would love to watch.

"

"Who can we use if we don't use her? We can't use Ruan Dayue, right?" Zhu Aelao said worriedly.

Hao Guangming smiled and said: "It is better to use Ruan Dajue than Ruan Lizhen - Ruan Lizhen is available, but only as the deputy of the art troupe. After all, she was influenced by Ruan Dajue and is very skilled in screenwriting, composition, etc.

.

????????As for the person in charge, I have a candidate here who should be more suitable, but he is a bit older."

????????"who?"

?????????"Gu Qusanren, Gusu Ci slave, master of Pingping Pavilion, author of "Three Words", Feng Menglong!"

???????Second update.

???????Good night~
