Chapter 157 Unifying Hu Jiuwen and Daming's Monster!
The top management of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties has determined the next strategic direction, and a major event is also brewing in Beijing.
I don't know why, but when Zhou Yanru went to work recently, he always felt a cold air on his back and his heart was always anxious. He had a feeling that something big was going to happen in the court.
But where did this big thing come from? I thought that Ruan Dacheng would set off a political storm after arriving in the capital, but this old man has been in the capital for almost a month and has not made any noise. After entering the palace and meeting the two-faced emperor, there was no
After reading the following, I feel that he and the emperor have not reached an agreement on the specific official position and salary issues. This will actually frustrate the Donglin thugs who were preparing to take over this attack.
Good thing! Zhou Yanru doesn't have much favorable impression of Dong Lin now, but he can't do without Dong Lin for political interests. The current relationship between Dong Lin and Zhou Yanru, the middle and high-ranking officials in the court, is that they look disgusting at each other. If there is a chance,
They both wanted to torture each other to death, but they couldn't live without each other. Donglin needed Zhou Yanru's access to the imperial court's central organization, lest the trouble would end in the end, and Zhou Yanru also needed Donglin's downward access, otherwise
Many things cannot be unfolded.
Seeing that Dong Lin had nowhere to use his strength, Zhou Yanru naturally thought it was a good thing, but why was he so uneasy?
In the capital, a group of people were working intensively to resolve Zhou Yanru's confusion.
Members of the Zhongjiang News Agency called by Ruan Dacheng have arrived in the capital one after another in recent days. The work of the newspaper has begun, and the first issue has entered the final printing stage.
"Mr. Yuan Hai, the article "Nine Questions about the Ming Dynasty" published on the first page is a bit too sharp. If this article were published, I'm afraid it would cause a great uproar in the country and the scholars. Will something big happen?
?" A newly arrived editor felt like he was about to have a heart attack when he saw the Nine Weird Questions of the Ming Dynasty written by the author Yi Tong Hu in large characters on the cover of the sample issue.
This article is so sharp that it can scare people to death. The Nine Weird Questions of the Ming Dynasty: The first question is, why are the officials, gentry and clansmen who receive salary and salary exempt from paying land tax? But the common people who live on the land have to pay full land tax.
Increase the tax payment? The second question is, the imperial court has no money to train troops to fight the rebellion, and the people have no food to feed them. How come the money and food of the Ming Dynasty disappeared out of thin air? The third question is, why are more and more bandits suppressed, while the imperial court has fewer and fewer elite soldiers?
Is the problem of bandits caused by war or governance? The fourth question is, the soldiers and horses that the court spends a lot of money to raise cannot resist the Tartars externally and cannot resist the rogue bandits internally. Are these generals warlords or officers and soldiers?
The fifth question is, when scholars protest against taxes, they go to the Confucius Temple to cry. Where do the farmers who really pay taxes go to cry? Is it possible that the knowledge of the saints is to teach his disciples how to not teach national taxes? The sixth question is, why are the Donglin people who are prosperous in the dynasty governing the country like this?
Bad? Those in power were expelled from Donglin, and those who were convicted of corruption and fraud became the leaders of Donglin. What is the sense of right and wrong among Donglin people? The seventh question, how many idlers did the Ming Dynasty support? How did the rich in the Ming Dynasty live?
? The eighth question, where are the enemies of Ming Dynasty? The ninth question, can Ming Dynasty get out of the quagmire and move towards the road of rejuvenation?
This article not only asks questions, but also gives answers at the end of the article. The answer is that empty talk will harm the country, and hard work will prosper the country. The disaster of the Ming Dynasty was both in the government and in the fields. Responsible scholars should talk less about the way of a gentleman.
, do more pragmatic actions. Even if you pay an extra tax to the court, it is better than just talking. If you are not satisfied with the government, you enter the court. If you can't become a high official, you can become a petty official or a general? The disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty,
It has been around for a long time, and cannot be solved overnight. Anyone who says they can solve the shortcomings of the country overnight is neither stupid nor bad! He did not fulfill his obligations to the country, evaded state taxes, exploited the examination room, enriched his own pockets after becoming an official, and enjoyed luxury.
To be submissive and bully to the king, but to let others behave in a gentleman's way, to be a gentleman is to be strict with others and lenient with yourself, right?
Publishing such an article will not only offend a group of people, but also scold all the people on stage in Ming Dynasty. How can it not make people scared?
"This article must be published in the first issue! If it doesn't cause an uproar, why do I run this newspaper? Can't I just hide in Nanzhi and retire? Remember, our Xinmin Newspaper is really about saving the country. This article is innocuous.
Leave it to those hypocrites to publish, what we publish is this kind of article that is well-founded, meaningful, and effective."
Ruan Dacheng made the final decision and decided to send out the Nine Questions of the Monsters of the Ming Dynasty. Just kidding, he can’t do it if he doesn’t send it out! The pen name of Yi Tonghu was determined by Zhu You, and he and Ruan Dacheng shared a trumpet. The name of the Nine Questions of the Monsters of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youjian wrote the outline of the article and Ruan Dacheng polished it. Ruan Dacheng had the final say whether to publish it or not?
On the third day, 5,000 copies of the first issue of Xinmin Times were printed, and Ruan Dacheng quickly arranged for people to distribute them.
In order to solve the problem of newspaper users at the beginning, Zhu Youjian arranged for the palace, various factory affairs, new army, Jinyiwei and other departments to order a total of 2,000 newspapers. The rest asked Ruan Dacheng to find some street children on the street through the newspaper office
, go to the streets and alleys to take out food.
The price of each newspaper is five cents, and the purchase price of the newsboy door is two cents, and it is paid on credit. This shipping price does not even cover the printing cost. To put it bluntly, it is a loss-making business.
"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! The Xinmin Times was first published, with five articles covering national affairs and all kinds of market trends!"

"Five pennies gives you a glimpse of the world's major events. If you don't sell it, you will suffer a loss, and if you sell it, you won't be fooled."
"Unify the Hu, ask nine questions about the monsters of the Ming Dynasty! Come up with a good prescription to save the country!"
The promotional slogans shouted by the newsboys were specially prepared by someone, and someone specially trained the newsboys. In one morning, after a burst of nonsense from these newsboys, the streets and alleys of the capital heard about it.
The Xinmin Times incident.
Many literate people who had some spare money even spent five cents to buy a special copy. In just half a day, all the newspapers in the hands of the 50th and 60th newsboys were sold. Some people made dozens of cents at once.
I can rely on this little money to not go hungry for several days.
Zhou Yan's Confucian house was a deep mansion in the capital, and the newsboys didn't have the guts to come and shout. However, when one of his servants went to the street to buy something, the oil paper package in his hand was torn. He happened to see the newsboy holding a large piece of paper, so he
I spent five cents to buy a piece of paper to use as wrapping paper.
As luck would have it, when the servant was taking this package to the backyard, he happened to be seen by Zhou Yanru who was passing by. As a scholar, he knew that no one should wrap things in printed paper. So he reprimanded in a bad tone:
"You bastard, how can you wrap something with the paper on which the article was printed?"
"Mr. Prime Minister! This is not writing paper, it is a newspaper sold by beggars on the street. It is worthless, only five cents a copy."
"Nonsense! There is clearly an article printed on it, but you are deceiving me as illiterate? Can a beggar boy have such a thing?"
As he spoke, Zhou Yanru snatched the paper bag from the servant's hand. Regardless of what was inside, he opened it and scattered the things on the floor without caring. No matter how valuable things in the world are, how can books be meaningful? For this kind of thing,
Lao Zhou is ready to punish those who do not respect knowledge. Otherwise, people will think that the servants in the Ming Dynasty's chief minister's family have no rules.
