This sentence is used to describe Liu Ming here and now, and it is really appropriate. Now Liu Ming is finishing a lot of official business. He is lying on his leisure chair, leisurely sipping tea, reading the newspaper, and leisurely.
Extremely happy.
Newspaper? Yes! It is a newspaper. And it is "Daily News".
Talking about the emergence of "Daily News", there was really a lot of trouble.
First of all, this newspaper originated from the hands of Mi Zhu. The earliest newspaper that appeared was the newspaper named "Business News" by Liu Ming.
Ever since Na Mi Zhu took over the business operations under Ke Liu Ming, not long after Na Mi Zhu established 'Youzhou Shuwan', he keenly discovered the huge business opportunities there. Na Mi Zhu was originally a big businessman in Xuzhou, with half of the people in Xuzhou
The above shops are the property of Mi Zhu and his family, so Mi Zhu knows very well how important it is for a businessman to have clear information about the price difference between the two places. And the intelligence team under the lord Liu Ming,
You can use the goshawk to deliver news, so that you can always know the latest information on the price difference between the two places. It is really helpful to you, and it is also extremely fast and accurate. Now, the Youzhou Shuwan
'And you can easily print all the information on paper. Not only can you make a profit, but you can also sell the information to other businessmen to make further profits. And since the source is in your own hands, you can even take advantage of the opportunity.
Manipulate the market price. So Mi Zhu took advantage of this opportunity and made a lot of money. He sold this information in the form of a bulletin. Each bulletin posted the prices of the day in various places. Each bullet sold for: half a tael of gold. Almost every day.
It brought benefits of more than a thousand taels of gold to Youzhou. When it was profitable, the "Business News" was the first to prosper.
After the precedent set by Mi Zhu, Jiang Fang from the marketing department was not far behind. He founded a newspaper that was later named "Entertainment News" by Liu Ming to provide some interesting stories and storytellers for his storytellers.
Information. Originally, Jiang Fang created the "Entertainment Newspaper". At the beginning, it was just an internal publication. But with the spread of the storytellers, it became available in every restaurant and teahouse. If there was no "Entertainment Newspaper" and storytellers,
People's business basically cannot continue. As a result, the circulation of this entertainment newspaper is far greater than the circulation of "Business News". Although the price of each "Entertainment News" is much higher
It was smaller than the "Business News", but the final profit was higher than that of the "Business News". As a result, the "Entertainment News" also became popular.
But with the appearance of "Entertainment News", Fangzheng, the living hell, approached Liu Ming and said to Liu Ming: "My lord, Qin Fa has a saying, 'Those who slander the family, those who make idle remarks abandon the market'. And I am going to court
The Han Dynasty law also clearly states that "those who are good at discussing the affairs of the state shall be killed." Both dynasties had this law because the people's support cannot be dispersed. If the people's support is dispersed, orders cannot be issued. Disasters will inevitably occur. In the near future, "Business News" and "Entertainment News"
"There are signs of this. This trend must not be encouraged. The Lord must not suffer great harm because of small gains. Please also expressly prohibit this retribution."
At that time, Liu Ming felt very uncomfortable after hearing Fang Zheng's advice. In Liu Ming's eyes, the emergence of this newspaper was definitely a good thing. It was a good thing that inspired the people's wisdom and supervised the government. But Fang Zheng
What he said is indeed true. This newspaper is definitely inconsistent with the current system of obscuring the people. It is not conducive to the court's rule over the people. To put it simply, it is not good for his current rule of Youzhou.
After Fang Zheng made the suggestion, Cai Yong also added: "My lord, after the legal system of the pre-Qin Dynasty Shang Dynasty, the people could only 'take the law as their teaching' and 'take the officials as their teachers'. They only had the obligation to obey and no longer discuss politics.
The right to discuss affairs. The people are all puppets of the king. The power will not last long. The Master said: "The way is based on government, and the order is based on punishment, and the people are exempted from shame; the purpose of the way is based on virtue, and the order is based on etiquette, and there is shame and integrity."
Now, my lord, I have a newspaper where I can speak widely and educate the people. This is the way to do it competently. It is a good policy for the ages. It cannot be discarded lightly."
Following Cai Yong's remarks, Liu Ming's officials in Youzhou began to elaborate on this freedom of speech, and they were divided into two groups. One group was represented by Dong Zhongshu's "Three Cardinal Guidelines" written by Dong Zhongshu, a great scholar of Han Dynasty.
The destiny of heaven and earth has existed forever and cannot be discussed indiscriminately. Newspapers can easily confuse the sacred hearing and are not advisable. The other school believes that in the time of Tang Yao, the rulers specially set up "slander trees" (the predecessor of Huabiao) in public places and left them to their own devices.
When the common people write articles criticizing the state affairs, the world will be governed. This is also the case with today's newspapers. It is a good way to achieve great governance and should be encouraged.
The two factions were constantly arguing and each had their own reasons, which annoyed Liu Ming. At this moment, Yang Jun secretly told Liu Ming a big secret. The so-called Confucian representative Dong Zhongshu
, is actually the successor of Fa Mo. At the beginning, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty felt that if the country was governed by law, although the people had their own rules, there would always be those who were not afraid of the dead and would cause chaos in the world. So Dong Zhongshu wrote the "Three Strategies of Heaven and Man" to give to the emperor.
Packaging. The so-called mythical emperor. However, this mythical emperor Dong Zhongshu is not as messy as Liu Bang initially deified himself. Liu Bang sometimes said he was the son of the Red Emperor, and sometimes said he was the son of the Black Dragon. It is very easy to be
Others followed suit. Dong Zhongshu divided the gods into four major categories. The lowest ones are the gods of nature such as mountains, rivers, lakes, and waves. The second one is the gods of clan blood, such as the totem gods of various tribes. The higher ones are
They are the gods of various industries, such as the God of Agriculture, Taoism, etc., and the most supreme is "Heaven". It is the god of rules that governs all gods. The emperor is ordered by heaven, he is the Son of Heaven, and he is "Heaven" in the world.
In this way, after the emperor ruled the people materially, he also ruled the people spiritually. Later, Dong Zhongshu encouraged the emperor to rule the country by law and wrap it in a layer of Confucianism.
The Confucian Taoism can achieve spiritual rule over the people of the world, so that long-term peace and stability can be achieved. It can be said that Dong Zhongshu devoted himself to the long-term peace and stability of Han Dynasty. He originally thought that in this way, the world would be peaceful, and he
It can also be reused, and Fa Mo's thoughts can continue to be carried forward under the cover of Confucianism. But I never thought that it would fall into the hands of Gongsun Hong, who took advantage of the situation and made a move to depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism, and later generations
What's more, they forgot that Dong Zhongshu's idea of governing the country was to use Dharma and Mohism internally and the essence of Confucianism externally. He created a bunch of rotten Confucians.
After listening to Yang Jun's speech, Liu Ming strengthened his belief in continuing to run a newspaper. Using his power as the governor of Youzhou, he overpowered the public opinion and opened "Daily News" as a special issue for various factions to express their opinions.
, at the same time, the "Daily News" is also used to publish daily news on the current situation, etc. and personally set the two basic responsibilities of the newspaper, "guiding public opinion and supervising public opinion." Moreover, Liu Ming even made Cai Cai
Yong must grasp the role of the newspaper as a mouthpiece. He must not let the newspaper, as a sharp sword, turn against him.
After Liu Ming's many efforts, Liu Ming is now able to drink tea and read the newspaper so leisurely.
But just as Liu Ming was getting excited, he heard Guo Jia shouting to Dian Wei from a distance: "Is my lord here? Jia has an urgent military intelligence report."
Liu Mingxin said: Aren't you asking knowingly? How late did you see Dianwei there and when I was not there? But Liu Ming also knew that this was actually Guo Jia making a report to himself. So Liu Mingchong said to the outside:
"Is it Fengxiao? Let him come in."
Not long after, Guo Jia looked excited and handed a piece of paper to Liu Ming and said: "Look, my lord, Houde has sent us a letter. The late emperor passed away. Now the new emperor has ascended the throne. This world is in chaos."
Not far away.”
Liu Ming casually glanced at Houdelai's secret report. He raised his head and asked Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, what do you think of this secret report?"
Guo Jia has grown a few years older in the past few years, and has become more elegant and suave. And his resourcefulness has become more smooth and thoughtful. Guo Jia heard what Liu Ming said and smiled and replied: "My lord, if we are just single
If you look at this secret report, it can be said that our original plan was a complete failure. We originally planned to let the late emperor change the title of Prince Xie to the crown prince, and then trick He Jin into rebelling. But now the late emperor died early.
.Then He Jin united the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to support the new king and ascended the throne. It has already occupied the great justice of the court. Therefore, our plan was a complete failure. But if we think about this matter carefully, then He Jin has no talent to serve as a king, and now we have stolen the throne.
In such a turbulent time, there must be those who are unsatisfied with the status quo. As long as they take the lead in rising up. In this turbulent time in the world,
It's coming soon. The Lord should gather his troops at this time. When someone plots rebellion, we will separate one side and then plot the world. If there is really no rebellion, we can also let Zhang Yan join one side's forces and help
We want him to cause trouble. But in that case, we will lose all the troops along the way. It is quite a pity. However, in Jia Zhi’s humble opinion, it should not be like this. It will only take half a year. The sky will definitely show up."
When Liu Ming heard what Guo Jia said, he was deeply impressed. Guo Jia really had far-sightedness. If nothing else, Dong Zhuo alone was enough for He Jinshou.
A few days later, Guo Jia once again learned from intelligence personnel that there were rumors in the capital that He Jin had killed the emperor and empress Dong. He quickly informed Liu Ming. The two discussed it and felt that although this was an excuse, it was not suitable for Liu Ming to take the lead.
Go ahead. You should wait for others to succeed with this, and then come back to benefit from it.
More than ten days later, the late emperor Liu Hong's edict finally brought the secret edict to Liu Ming.
Cai Yong and others were overjoyed when they saw it. Cai Yong immediately said to Liu Ming: "My lord, now that we have the late emperor's edict in hand, any advance must be treason. We can just raise the righteous army, clear the emperor's side, and then establish the emperor
.Great things can be achieved.”
Liu Ming was moved after hearing this. This was indeed a good opportunity.
But just as Liu Ming's heart was beating, Yang Jun said in time: "No. After we wait for the uprising division, we can destroy He Jin. But in this way, the lord will become the target of all crossbows."
.If the lord just wants to help the decaying imperial court survive, although he can be a minister for a while, but in this way, he is just marrying someone else. When the emperor is old, it will be difficult for the lord to take back the imperial power.
The misfortune of running away from a high deed will shock the master. It will be too late to regret it by then. But if the master does what Wang Mang did after the Qing emperor sided with him, it would be a joke even if the Qing emperor sided with others. The master will also be regarded as a Han traitor by future generations.
When the time comes, everyone in the world will fight for it. Even though my lord has strong soldiers and horses, he may not be able to escape the disaster."
After Liu Ming heard what Yang Jun said, he broke out in a cold sweat. This time Yang Jun made it clear that he had all the intentions of plotting against the world. If his subordinates knew that he had a counterattack,
I mean, there must be chaos. How could an old man like Yang Jun say this here? Liu Ming quickly glanced left and right.
However, it was okay for Liu Ming not to look at it. After looking at it, Liu Ming became even more depressed. He saw that his subordinates and retainers sitting on both sides were all at ease, as they should be, and they did not say anything to Yang Jun.
Liu Ming kept those rebellious remarks in his heart. Liu Ming understood at a glance that everyone in Ganqing's group knew about it and they were all thinking about rebelling. He was the only one who was still kept in the dark, and it was ambiguous.
When Yang Jun saw Liu Ming's move, he also knew what Liu Ming was thinking. He was secretly proud of himself: My lord, my lord. Although this time I was a little more aggressive and scared my lord. But my lord, you don't want to think about it either.
Could it be that Lao Cao's work as a meritorious official is fake? Normally Lao Cao reveals that the lord is the one who wants to do great things, which is to test the loyalty of these people. Anyone who has second thoughts about the lord has long been solved by Lao Cao with excuses.
.That still allows them to sit here. The Lord is worrying too much this time.
At this time, Guo Jia also felt that Yang Jun's words were reasonable, so he said to Liu Ming: "Now that the lord has a legacy here, it is undoubtedly treason to advance. In this way, there is no need for the lord to worry about it, so there is no need to advance."
If you plan to do such a big thing, sooner or later you will definitely mess up your position and expose your flaws. By then, all the princes from all over the country who are interested will take action one after another. We will not take the opportunity to raise righteous soldiers and separate one side.
It's too late. We can take advantage of the opportunity to grow stronger when the princes from all walks of life have different intentions."
At this time, Liu Ming had been freed from the worry that his subordinates would know that he was rebellious. After hearing Guo Jia's suggestion, he thought that if the eighteen princes were to attack Dong Zhuo, it would become ten
If the princes of the Eight Routes attack you, won't you become an unjust case? You should wait for Dong Zhuo to come out and then separate one side.
At the moment, Liu Ming adopted the suggestions of Yang Jun, Guo Jia and others, keeping the matter of the imperial edict secret and waiting for the coming of chaos in the world.
But not long after, Wei Xu and Hou Chengcheng of Bingzhou sent a letter to Liu Ming, saying that Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, had received an order from General He Jin to go to the capital and clear out Zhang Rang and other eunuchs. Now Bingzhou
Ding Yuan, the governor, ordered Zhang Yang to guard Hanoi; he took Lu Bu and a group of people and 150,000 troops to Luoyang, the capital.
