Li You's views seem to be reasonable and sound powerful, but Guan Xiuxiu still can't rest assured. ([] ) The public opinion tool has become mine alone, which may lead to unexpected events. Always plan for rainy days.
It's better to give half of the shares to the royal family. It's better to put the royal flag on it, and then you can get away with just paying dividends and doing nothing."
But he said that at the Imperial College, Mr. Li had indeed become a dispensable sinecure. He only occasionally supervised and enforced discipline, and most of his energy was transferred to the newspaper office.
Having money and people will make things more efficient. By the beginning of March, everything was ready to start printing newspapers. And I heard that preparations were also completed in the newspaper office of the Imperial College, and they were ready to start printing.
At present, this is the only company that can be called a competitor. Although Li You doesn't think that Shi Jijiu and his two teammates can be better than him in running newspapers, he is still paying close attention to it and is careful not to make any big mistakes.
In the morning of this day, Li You entered the newspaper office of the Imperial College in an elegant manner. No one questioned or blocked him. If placed in another time and space, this would be simply unbelievable. Between two hostile media,
If the boss of one of them entered the door of the other, it would be strange if it didn't cause an uproar.
Li You first went to the craftsmen and asked for the type plate. How dare those craftsmen disobey the fifth-grade master. He brought the type plate to him in a polite manner. Li You looked at the style of the type plate carefully and could roughly deduce the type plate.
, so I knew what was going on.
Then he found Vice President You Shaoqing, and after chatting for a while he asked casually: "When will your newspaper be printed? What is the price?"
First, Mr. You has no sense of confidentiality. A gentleman's opinion is disputed. He can tell others everything, just like publicly submitting a memorial. Are you afraid that others will not know? Second, you have to cooperate with Li You. So he told the truth: "
There will be an early morning meeting on the sixth day of March. Printing will begin on the seventh day of March and will be sent out on the eighth day of March. However, the expenses are a little tight, so we can only send out the first issue for free. After that, each copy is tentatively priced at three cents, and we cannot all send out for free like Master Li.
go out."
"So what is the main topic of the first issue of your newspaper?" Li You pretended to be communicating with peers.
You Shaoqing did not hide anything and replied: "In addition to reporting the edict issued by the court on the morning of the sixth day of March, it is mainly about persuading farmers. Because it is the time of spring plowing, and it is related to the big plan, so we must comply with the weather and persuade farmers.
The foundation of civil affairs is to rectify people's hearts."
Although Li You was expressionless, he almost laughed secretly. Yes, agriculture is the foundation of the country. This is indeed true. It is politically tenable and will not be outdated even hundreds of years later.
But the question is, among the millions of people in the capital, how many of the officials, petty officials, sergeants, eunuchs, relatives, merchants, and craftsmen are farmers? A newspaper published in the capital, with great fanfare, persuaded farmers to
Who sees it?
Competitors are still in this blind self-primitive stage, so there is really nothing to worry about! Hearing this, Mr. Li was completely relieved and said in a tone of admiration: "You are concerned about the country and the people. I admire you very much."
You Shaoqing smiled slightly proudly and said: "This was proposed by me when we discussed it with Master Shi and others, and Master Shi also appreciated it. In the end, Master Shi personally wrote the essay to encourage farmers, with my official as the preface, and Sun Yushi's poem
Poetry, just like a homepage version."
"Very good, very good..." Before leaving, Li You suddenly remembered another question, and turned around and asked: "To distinguish the newspaper from the Di newspaper, it should have a name. What is the name of your newspaper?"
"Master Shi said that when Mr. Li first advocated the establishment of a newspaper, there was a sentence that he admired very much, which was the sentence of exploring the truth of things. So Mr. Shi decided to name the newspaper Pravda."
Pravda... Li You was stunned for a moment. This was a joke that only time travelers would laugh at. He was afraid that he could not help laughing and might cause misunderstanding, so he left immediately, lowered his head and hurried out of the reporting office.
Returning to his newspaper shop, Li You summoned Editor-in-Chief Cui and several foremen and editors, and ordered: "I found out that the official newspaper is printed on the seventh and sent out on the eighth. We will also follow this date."
Editor-in-Chief Cui asked: "The name of the newspaper has not yet been decided. What is the owner's idea?"
Li You thought for a moment and made up his mind, "The Imperial College calls it Pravda, so we'll call it Mingli Bao, which means reading the newspaper Mingli!"
"Good!" Regardless of whether it was true or false, the editors-in-chief praised it one after another.
In March of the 10th year of Jinghe, the Beijing Double Newspaper, which was slandered by the ignorant people of this time and space as "untrue and unclear", was officially born. It was obviously an event of great significance and must be learned in history textbooks.
The name and date were decided, but what was missing was the main title. Li You added: "In the future, the home page must have a theme, and the theme must be approved by me. Let's discuss the theme of the first issue now. This is related to a good start, so we must be cautious.
.”
Everyone looked at each other in shock, but no one spoke first. Li You didn't want to take over everything. After all, his main business would still be officialdom in the future, and the newspaper would have to rely on these people to run the newspaper. He asked in an inductive way: "This theme must be able to stimulate people."
It arouses people's resentment, and I must speak up and speak out in retribution, so as to attract people's eyes and ears to watch. Think about it, are there any dissatisfactory things happening in the capital at the moment?"
Suddenly one of the editors said angrily: "I have a question!"
Li You raised his hand and encouraged: "That's all you can say."
The man said impassionedly: "The most unfair thing for us is that in the officialdom, why are the clear and turbid currents clearly separated? We are all the children of saints, so why are their situations so different from those of heaven and earth? Is it because the country has three thousand scholars? Is it just to fill up the miscellaneous currents?
Huh! Based on my humble opinion, the first issue should be a debate between the pure and the turbid. If you climb up and shout, the whole world will definitely respond!"
Li You understood very well that he expressed this emotion as a supervisor. This was indeed a problem. But unfortunately, this topic selection was not feasible, at least not at the moment. It was not the right time.
First, I don’t want to arouse the resentment and resistance of the entire high-level group. After all, the big bosses are all clean-blooded. I can just complain a few times in private, but if I openly create such public opinion, I’m afraid I will be ostracized immediately.
The second is that he was originally a clutter in the clutter, but after a lot of hard work, he finally washed himself into a pseudo-clean stream, and used a strong deterrent to make others dare not pick on his shortcomings. If he provokes this,
Topic, isn’t that exposing one’s shortcomings?
Third, who in general cares about this issue? It is estimated that 90% of people in the capital will not care about the issue of turbidity.
However, this kind of conceptual issue cannot be rushed. Li You continued to persuade patiently: "As for the debate on Qing Zhuoliu, our newspaper is currently too weak to bear the consequences, so we will leave it to the future. Please pay more attention to it."
Think about it, is there anything that can make most people in the capital sad at the moment? I have lived in the capital for a total of no more than one year, so I am very unfamiliar with it, and I have to rely on everyone to brainstorm."
Another editor-in-chief suddenly realized something, "I have an idea."
Li You continued to encourage people to speak freely, and the editor said: "The roads in the capital have been in trouble for many years. Only a few main roads are stone roads, and the rest are dirt roads. When the wind blows up, the dust and sand rise, and when the water hits the mud, the cars get stuck. Both the officials and the people suffer. It’s painful. Spring is coming again now, the ice water in the western mountains is melting, and the wind is blowing from the north. I’m afraid that traveling around the city will have to suffer again!”
Is this still the case? Li You really didn't know. The two periods he lived in the capital were from autumn to winter, and there was no spring or summer, so he really didn't know. He clapped his hands and sighed: "This subject is good! Just write about it!"
Editor-in-Chief Cui asked in confusion: "Why write about something that everyone knows? Didn't the proprietor say that he wants new things quickly?"
"Of course you can write it. Everyone can do tricks, and each one has his or her own ingenuity! Listen up, the theme here is not that the road is in such bad condition that even a blind man can see it. What's there to say? The real theme is the system. The problem is causing serious consequences!" Li You said confidently: "It seems that the construction of streets in the capital is under the control of the Ministry of Industry? Then we can say this on behalf of all the residents of the capital and accuse the Ministry of Industry of not doing anything. Anyway, the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry are relatively weak, and the Ministry of Industry is ineffective The minister is about to become official!"
