Chapter six hundred and sixteen the outline of the newspaper (seeking the moon
This time, the eighty people Li You needed were quickly recruited, but these eighty supervisors needed to be re-indoctrinated. Without ideological reform, God knows whether the newspaper would turn into an eight-legged digest.
There are no journalism majors these days, so Li You had to go into battle himself, using half-baked concepts from his previous life to deceive newcomers to the newspaper industry. After gathering the candidates in the courtyard of the newspaper shop, Mr. Li started a course...
Facing the black crowd of heads, Li You did not have stage fright. He had been practicing in official circles for a long time. This scene was trivial. Besides, this was not the first time that Li You talked about newspapers with the supervisors.
He coughed and began to lecture: "First of all, you must be clear, who is the newspaper for? I am going to tell you that the newspaper is for fools! And you, the chief writer and editor, teach fools how to understand the truth! On this point, you
You must firmly believe it. If you plan to devote yourself to teaching fools, you need to be determined!"
Li You's statement made all the supervisors feel happy. Who wouldn't want to claim to be an elite and become a master?
In fact, after they have been studying for so many years, what they want most is to be an official. But if the opportunity to become an official is not good, it would be good to become the chief writer and editor of this newspaper out of desperation. If the situation described by Mr. Li can come true, it seems that they can become
A person who dominates public opinion.
"Actually, we are historians! The newspapers are old things, but things that happened recently! What we have to do is to take notes and write down new things. The so-called writing about the Spring and Autumn Period, and writing articles! As time goes by,
This will become a supplement to the history books!”
"In addition, our newspaper will be submitted to the emperor for reading! Your words may be read by the emperor! And after each issue of the newspaper is printed, it will be sent to all yamen in the capital for free within one day, and every shop will be open.
All famous restaurants, all hotels, and all shops in Qipan Street, Bell and Drum Tower, Chongwenmenwai, etc.! It is estimated that there will be tens of thousands of copies! If you write a word in the newspaper, at least ten thousand people will read it and tens of thousands of people will listen!
"
Li You tried his best to elevate the status of the newspaper and describe the bright future in order to satisfy the vanity of the supervisors he recruited. Scholars are always flattered. How can scholars become famous without complimenting each other? Put it here in the newspaper shop.
Not to mention that praising newspapers is useless, at least it is helpful to inspire everyone's confidence in the crucial early stage of the opening, keep people satisfied and the team stable.
After finishing the significance of joining the newspaper industry and the prospects of the newspaper, Li You began to introduce technical issues in detail. "The first page is mainly to discuss the government or write about the affairs of the court. The topics may be chosen by oneself, or selected by the newspaper.
Decide on the topic and wait for your discussion. If the manuscript is good, it can be published in the newspaper!
It’s a discussion, but actually it’s a criticism. In all matters, mistakes can always be found, and if you find a mistake, the court will have to think deeply for a quarter of an hour!”
Then someone asked: "We have no power and we can criticize the government at will. It will easily cause all kinds of accidents."
Li You applauded: "Well said! Therefore, I have made three chapters of the agreement, and I hope you will abide by it. First, the words must not involve the emperor; second, you must not insult or slander ministers of third rank or above; you must not promote things prohibited by the Ming Dynasty Law. Except
Other than that, it should be fine!
If you are still not at ease, you can still post a defense as a foil in addition to the criticism. There will be criticism and praise. This contrast will make it appear that there is no partiality, so that others can't say anything!"
"The second page is mainly about the various scenes in the capital, mostly stories about the people and the families of powerful officials. Whatever you want to write about, just remember to focus on two words! Murder and rape!"
"What two words?" All the supervisors were in an uproar, thinking they had heard wrongly.
"You heard me right! One is murder, the other is rape, people like to see these! Of course, my intention is not to promote these two, but we must do critical reporting!
I want to popularize legal knowledge to the people through homicide and rape cases, and let them know the serious consequences! So after writing about the incident, I need to add a few words of criticism to let readers know that this is wrong!
Large and small cases often have to go through the Military and Horse Division. Therefore, I plan to rely on five Military and Horse Divisions and set up five reporting stations for the convenience of information."
People with understanding seem to have understood some kind of truth.
"The third section of the page is all business news. You don't need to focus too much on this. I will take care of it all! If you are interested, I will not object!"
"The fourth page is dedicated to interesting stories about Kyushu and new things outside the capital. Therefore, I want to set up a reporting station at Chongwenmen Customs to facilitate communication with foreign merchants. By the way, there are many red-haired ghosts in the capital? If
If there are people who are proficient in Chinese characters, you can ask them to write a few articles and publish them!"
Finally, Li You said: "In general, ten chief writers are stationed in each of the five cities of the capital, responsible for the news in each shop. Ten people are stationed at Chongwenmen Customs, responsible for collecting materials! The rest serve as editors-in-chief and stay in the newspaper office."
At this time, a 26-year-old supervisor stood up and questioned Li You's statement: "Listen to Mr. Li, most of the main writers should be scattered in the streets and alleys, just like three aunts and six wives, asking for information? I'm sorry, it's difficult for me, but I really can't do it.
This matter."
Li You's mouth went dry as he talked. He lowered his head to drink tea while analyzing his performance. Suddenly hearing someone making trouble like this, he couldn't help but feel furious!
Originally, it was not easy for his unofficial newspaper to recruit a large number of supervisors. He went through all the troubles to achieve his wish, but on the first day, the atmosphere was suddenly so corrupted.
The atmosphere and mood are contagious. If he is allowed to spread a negative atmosphere, he is afraid that the entire newspaper office will be ruined.
He must be taught a lesson! Li You calmly put the tea cup back on the case, saw the supervisor's name on the list, pondered for a moment, and then lightly deleted the person's name.
After that, he said to the supervisor in full public view: "Okay, you can go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and report, and you can choose the county edict of Yunnan and Guizhou."
The remaining seventy-nine supervisors were in an uproar, and then they remembered that Li You was not only the owner of the newspaper shop, but also the Imperial College Supervisor responsible for the atmosphere, and had certain power to allocate the supervisors. The supervisors who were already on the list wanted to play with their personalities in front of him, which was nothing different.
Seeking death!
The supervisor who stood up was panicked. He couldn't let go of his body and went to the grassroots level, so he wanted to leave, but he really didn't want to work as a teacher in Yunnan and Guizhou, thousands of miles away!
Then he went to beg Mr. Li for mercy, but Mr. Li ignored him and just talked to everyone: "You will soon find that newspapers are an infinitely mysterious thing! As long as you are willing to listen to me, I guarantee that you will feel happy."
I won’t change my small official position!”
At this time, the seventy-nine chief writers and editors did not believe it.
