Hu Yan is a capable person, and editing Di Bao is really an incompetence. This person can compile the "Yongle Dadian". With his joining, the work efficiency of the General Affairs Department has been greatly improved.
Xu Jingchang did not have to worry about how many memorials were delivered every day, how many were handed over to Zhu Di, how many were handed over to the six ministries, and the progress of each ministry.
You can just hang up your clothes and hand it over, and treat it by doing nothing.
It's just that Xu Jingchang always frowned when he read the newspaper Hu Yan produced.
"Is it because the lower officials did not do a good job in general administration?" Hu Yan bowed and asked.
Xu Jingchang said: "It's not bad...it's just that I'm a little worried that I won't be able to sell it."
Hu Yan was shocked and said in confusion: "General Administration, we want to sell the Di newspaper, so naturally we will try our best to make the Di newspaper well. Don't people often say that when you are asked, people will be silent, but when goods are asked, people will nod and come. The wine is fragrant.
Don’t worry if the alley is deep, there will definitely be someone who knows the stuff.”
Xu Jingchang smiled, asked Hu Yan to sit down, and called Wu Shan over.
"Xueshi Hu, look, what you put on the front page is that this year's autumn grain harvest will be bumper, all regions will pay taxes, and the treasury will be rich... Who wants to read this kind of news?"
Hu Yan frowned and said: "People's food and clothing, royal grain and national taxes have always been the top priority in the world. What's wrong with putting them at the top?"
Major projects of the imperial court must be settled with money, otherwise the funds allocated for starting the project will be discounted by half before the project is settled. No one can bear this.
At this time, Wu Shan smiled and said: "Sir, I asked you to look for talents and inquire about information. Don't tell me. I discovered something. I wonder if it can be done?"
This is unscientific!
Newspaper!
Why doesn't anyone buy it?
Where have all the key officials of the Ming Dynasty gone?
The way you worked so hard to make money ended before it even started?
Could it be that I really don’t have the talent to make money?
Xu Jingchang was completely depressed. He was wondering whether he should offer some free gifts, or give half-price discounts in the early stage to attract readers... But doing so would have costs. Is it possible to take money from his own family to fill the hole?
"It was created by the Secretary of General Affairs. It is said to be a private version of Di Bao, allowing businessmen and common people to understand the situation in the imperial court."
And when it comes to investigating corrupt officials, people also store gold and silver. No one likes money that can be lost thousands of miles away.
Xu Jingchang set the price of one share of Wuguan Baobao for his residence, which was considered kind.
Wang Ning gritted his teeth in anger, "Check it out for me and find out who did it. If you let me know, you won't have to take out his heart, liver and intestines!"
Xu Jingchang was worrying, but he did not expect that one of the few newspapers he had sold would end up in the residence of his consort Wang Ning.
"Emperor Taizu's two sons-in-law have a transcendent status, their relatives have turned against each other, and they are robbing property. I wonder if this matter will interest people?" Wu Shan said in a low voice.
But the people have no choice but to use it.
Zhu Di frowned, read the newspaper, and thought for a while, "Zheng He, go and call Xu Jingchang."
This Wang Ning was charged with the same crime as Xu Zengshou, but Xu Zengshou was unlucky and was killed by Zhu Yunwen first.
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "It's not wrong, it's just that we can't sell it. Mr. Hu, you have to know that we want to sell more newspapers and make more money. The General Affairs Department didn't have any decent power in the past, but it was easy to hold it, so we just
If we want to carry it forward, if we want to carry it forward, we need to get money and recruit more people... In the final analysis, our version is for the people, and the people's version should not be so grand, it must have explosive points, it must be eye-catching, and it must attract the common people.
Willing to spend money to buy it.”
I will go to His Majesty right now and file a serious complaint against Xu Jingchang. Let’s see what else this kid has to say!
The more Wang Ning thought about it, the more it made sense. He actually ran to see Zhu Di with a newspaper in his arms and angrily.
Hearing this name, Wang Ning couldn't help but feel wary. It was because Xu Jingchang was too popular, he was promoted, and he was in power, so he was not easy to deal with.
The price is one Wuguanbao note.
Hu Yan's face became more and more bitter, "General administration, please forgive me for being stupid and difficult to understand for a while."
Xu Jingchang almost sang out. If you don’t cooperate, it’s hard for me to fire you!
"Prince Consort, what crime do I have?"
But something unexpected happened. These newspapers were scattered out, but there was no movement at all. Several bookstores, one after another, bought less than 150 copies.
Sure enough, just three days later, the private newspaper Di Di quietly appeared on the streets of Yingtian.
"Very good. If you investigate more carefully, this will be the headline."
He grabbed the Di newspaper again, pinched his nose and read it. After reading it, Wang Ning suddenly came up with the idea that Xu Jingchang spoke for Mei Yin, which was clearly to protect the remnants of Jianwen. Even if His Majesty prefers this boy, there is a limit.
There is no discussion at all on the market.
Wang Ning survived by luck. Not only that, he also supported Zhu Gaoxu and wanted to become a follower of the dragon.
"You protected Mei Yin, helped him criticize me, and framed the court officials. Are you not guilty?"
"You're talking nonsense. Those were all taken away by Jianwen and they should be returned to me."
He is worried that the sales volume of the Di newspaper is not satisfactory. Not to mention making money, he will even lose his pants. What should he do?
"Xu Tongzheng, how did you frame me up?" Wang Ning asked directly.
Money in the Ming Dynasty was a bad debt. Although Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that gold and silver were not allowed to be used in private transactions, only treasure banknotes could be used. However, by the 30th year of Hongwu, the total number of treasure banknotes was only 160 Wen, and the depreciation was too serious.
Xu Jingchang was startled. Mei Yin and Wang Ning were both Zhu Yuanzhang's consorts. Mei Yin was on Zhu Yunzhang's side, and Wang Ning was on Zhu Di's side. The winner was the king and the loser was the enemy. Now that Wang Ning had won the bet, it was time to snatch the fruits of victory.
time.
The prince-in-law had spoken, and the family did not dare to neglect, so they hurriedly went to inquire about it, and soon they came back.
It turned out that Wang Ning asked his servant to buy some story novels to pass the time. The servant didn't know much about reading, so he bought a bunch of them randomly, including a copy of the Di newspaper.
Wang Ning Le opened it up and was dumbfounded when he saw it. Good guy, he was actually scolding himself!
It’s money well spent!
Especially Wang Ning and Zhu Gaoxu came to find him before, trying to trick him. Zhu Gaoxu's account was settled, and Wang Ning was still safe and sound. This is not in line with Xu Jingchang's style!
"Your Majesty, I really don't know what Xu Jingchang, the General Secretary, is thinking about. Mei Yin is stubborn and often speaks ill of Your Majesty. Such people should be severely punished. He is alive because of Your Majesty's extrajudicial kindness. Xu Jingchang
But he is helping this person to speak up. Is he young and ignorant of the importance, or does he have ulterior motives? Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty."
It is said that Hongwu's 30-year-old Guanbao banknotes can still be exchanged for 160 copper coins. After four years of Jianwen's hard work, Yiguanbao banknotes can only be exchanged for 20 or 30 copper coins.
Not long after, Xu Jingchang came.
Xu Jingchang is the only one who dares to say this.
"Is it the General Secretary?"
"Tell me." Xu Jingchang smiled.
When Hu Yan heard this, he hurriedly said: "General administration, Wang Ning's consort has a high and powerful position, which is unusual. Everyone knows it. I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right? What if I offend him?"
After honoring the courtiers, Xu Jingchang started to attack relatives of the emperor.
Xu Jingchang silently calculated, it seemed to be really good, it was indeed breaking news.
When Xu Jingchang heard this, he laughed loudly, "Am I afraid of offending people? I'm just afraid that I won't offend enough people. It's just a prince-in-law, so don't worry."
Xu Jingchang was startled for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Yes, he was very excited!
Wang Ning, Wang Ning, you actually impeached me?
The initial quantity released was not large, only a thousand copies.
Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "How did I frame you? Your Majesty issued a decree to return the confiscated land to you. As a result, you took the opportunity to occupy more than a thousand acres of surrounding people's land. In the end, it was not enough and you robbed the Mei family's property, which was also the consort's consort."
Listen to me, thank you...
"Sir, a few days ago the consort Wang requested your majesty to return his family's property and the confiscated farm, and your majesty agreed. However, Wang Ning was greedy and took away a lot of consort Mei Yin's property. It is said that it is enough
There are as many as two thousand acres.”
Wu Shandao: "It's like this. At the beginning, the consort Wang Ning also provided military intelligence information to His Majesty, and was thrown into prison by Emperor Jianwen, and all his property and property were confiscated."
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "So, by turning the farmland into your family property, it is appropriate for more than a hundred households to be removed from the yellow list and become tenant farmers of your family?"
Wang Ning's expression suddenly changed, "I, I don't know what you are talking about?"
Xu Jingchang smiled slightly and said, "Don't be busy. The next few issues of the Dibao will reveal this issue and explain clearly the secret of the loss of national finance and taxation. I believe the Ministry of Household Affairs will be very interested."
It seems like I'm really feeling better, but my whole body is sore and tired... I don't have the energy to write...
