Six hundred and twentieth chapters see flowers in the fog
Among the seven positions, Li You chose to be the chief executive of the newspaper. Not only did Zuo Langzhong, who presided over the selection of officials, think that he had heard wrongly, but also everyone who heard the matter thought that they had heard wrongly, and then they started talking endlessly.
.
"No matter which choice Mr. Li made, it was excusable. Why did he choose the worst one? Under the pressure of the Mingli Newspaper, this official position was almost worthless and was in danger of being abolished at any time.
"
"Master Li should know this better than anyone, but he made this choice, which is really puzzling. Could it be that he knew that choosing an official would attract jealousy, so he wanted to keep his reputation secret?"
"Can this also be called Tao Guang Yin Hui? Isn't it enough to attract people's attention now? Tao Guang Yin Hui does not mean to choose the worst, but should be mediocre and mediocre."
Amid the divergent opinions, Li You took office simply. It was simple indeed. He was originally the Supervisor of the Imperial College in name only, and he was also the President of the Imperial College News Office without changing his place.
On the first day he took office, Mr. Li lit the first fire and asked the imperial court to abolish the two vice presidents. You and Sun, the two vice presidents of the newspaper who were not successful enough but exposed more than others, where did they come from?
Where to go.
With Pravda in such a state, and Shi Jijiu taking the blame and resigning in favor of someone else, how could Xu Shoufu and Yuan Ge Lao have the face to continue to defend the two vice presidents? They were afraid that they themselves would be disgraced. In the end, they had no choice but to ax them according to Li You's opinion.
If you don't, it will make Li You dissatisfied, and it will really become a joke if you give it up again.
President Li's second thorn in the side was to order a temporary suspension of publication and then resume publication after the rectification and revision of the edition. This was also expected by others. Otherwise, today's Pravda newspaper would have to pay as much as it printed, wasting public funds and draining the national treasury.
President Li's third move was to continue to lay off staff. Of the thirty supervisors retained by Shi Jijiu, he laid off twenty and transferred them to Mingli Newspaper, leaving only ten in the end.
This was beyond what others had expected. At first, Mr. Li had hired sixty people at once, but half of the Stone Sacrifice Wine was cut. Unexpectedly, Mr. Li would continue to lay off employees after he took over the newspaper office again. People couldn't help but secretly speculate, could it be that
Mr. Li's final goal is to completely destroy Pravda. Let his privately owned Mingli Newspaper become the dominant one?
When asked by others, Li You smiled and said nothing. When pressed again, he only deduced that Pravda would not need so many chief writers and editors in the future.
After all three fires were burned in just two days, President Li seemed to be silent on the third day. I wonder what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.
In the evening of that day, Li You was sitting in the concierge of the hometown of Lu Ge, a scholar of Wuyingdian University. He had a casual chat with the disciples of Lu Mansion. He wanted to pay a visit to Mr. Lu Ge, but Mr. Lu Ge had not returned home yet, so he stayed here.
wait.
As the saying goes, the prime minister's servant is a seventh-grade official, and he is particularly picky about receiving red envelopes. However, the disciples of the Lu Mansion are very respectful to Li You. They dare not treat him lightly, knowing that Li You enjoys special treatment in the Lu Mansion. Others also come to visit.
Old Lu Ge left when they saw Li You waiting here.
When the sky turned dark, Mr. Lu Ge's guard of honor appeared at the entrance of the alley. Li You got up and waited at the gate. When he saw Mr. Lu Ge getting off the sedan, he stepped forward and patted the horse and said: "Sir, he is diligent in king's affairs and is worthy of being a junior."
Role model.”
Mr. Lu Ge was in a good mood, "How long have you been waiting? Let's have a meal together."
Li You had dinner with Mr. Ge and then went to the study to sit down and drink tea. Mr. Lu held a tea cup in his hand and asked Li You: "Your coming here this time must be related to your newspaper, right?"
"That's exactly why." Li You didn't deny it.
Mr. Lu Ge guessed: "Outsiders have different opinions on this. In my opinion, do you want to deliberately show your talents that others cannot? The official report was ruined in the hands of others. If you can achieve nirvana and be reborn in your hands, then it will be a disaster."
This highlights your ability. If others want to snatch the official newspaper, they will have to think twice before lest they become half-dead again after they get it. Naturally, your position will be stable."
"Juniors do have this idea. Only when there is contrast and contrast can the impression on others be profound." Li You did not hide his thoughts, "No matter what age or month, as long as you can master the public opinion, you can achieve a transcendent status. This is
It is the only thing that the younger generation can ask for at the moment. Even the moribund official newspaper has its value."
Mr. Lu Ge heard two meanings from Li You's words. One was that at his early twenties, it was already shocking that he would become a fifth-grade Qingliu official by chance, and it would be extremely difficult to rise to the rank in a short period of time.
.Who can imagine a magistrate in his twenties, participating in politics or serving as a minister in a temple?
So if he goes to do something next, no matter how hard he works, most of it will be wasted, and the hard work will be of no use, so it is better to apply for a newspaper to support the hope of becoming a scholar.
The second is that it hints at the significance of running a newspaper. No matter what era, as long as you can control public opinion, you can achieve a transcendent status. This kind of thing is not without precedent in history. As far away as the Yuedan Commentary of the Han Dynasty, as recently as the Donglin Party, those still have
They are just outsiders.
The higher the position, the wider the view, the stronger the insight, and the deeper the understanding of Li You's actions. At the same time, the greater the confidence or wariness in him. Therefore, Mr. Lu Ge is not worried that Li You will not be able to handle things well.
For the official report, I just asked about the specific method, "I wonder how you plan to make the official report?"
Li You replied: "There is a natural distinction between Pravda and Mingli. Each has its own use. I have to ask the elders to lend a helping hand to the younger ones..."
Another day later, the six cabinet ministers and the nine foreign ministers received documents from the Office of the Imperial College, and the contents were all the same——
"Pravda" welcomes submissions from the public, and has fixed columns on the page for them. The content of the article can be anything from government affairs experience, reading experience, or life insights, to academic essays. It is best to not exceed 500 words per article.
Moreover, the newspaper office of Pravda offered the bosses a retouching fee of one tael per thousand words. This price is really high in the market.
At a glance, Gonggun knew that this was Li You's handiwork, and his purpose was probably to use the huge influence of big guys like them to increase the popularity of the newspaper.
Those who had a grudge against Li You, such as Mr. Yuan Ge, after seeing the contract document, contemptuously crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the wastebasket at their feet. How could they do that to Li You and help Li You? Then he put the matter aside.
In the back of my mind, I never paid attention to it again.
He had a relatively neutral attitude towards Li You, and out of caution, he shelved the request for a manuscript for the time being and did not agree rashly. Again, there is no precedent for this matter, and it is unpredictable.
On the same day, Mr. Li, in his capacity as the censor of the right capital of the school, recommended Wu Sheng, the former prefect of Guilin Prefecture, as the right counselor of the general affairs department. This was very sudden, and it was very troublesome for those who knew the news.
After thinking about it, as a celebrity, Li You's every move always attracts attention.
The first thing everyone was confused about was that Wu Sheng was just a prefect in a remote frontier who came to the capital for an examination after completing his term. He was not well-known in the capital, so why did he somehow fall into Li You's eyes?
Although it is said that science and technology officials have the right to recommend talents to the imperial court, Li Qianxian has never officially recommended talents to the imperial court except for Lu Yuanguang, the ambassador of Chongwenmen, who can be ignored. The recent actions of Mr. Li,
It's really smoke and mirrors, and few people can understand it.
