Daming: I asked you to supervise the country, Daming is all crazy?

Chapter 98 The cotton ball popping out of the gutter! ! !

The popularity of the newspaper was somewhat beyond Zhu Zhanji's expectations.

More than 30 copies of the newspaper were almost sold out in one day.

In addition, he also deliberately asked the newspaper to print a lot of them.

At the same time, Zhu Zhanji was a little surprised by the sudden enthusiasm for joining the army among the people.

I don't know who initiated "Learning from Kong Jin" first.

It made Zhu Zhanji feel that he still underestimated the status of the Confucian family, Yan Shenggong, in the minds of scholars in this era.

Kong Jin abandons his pen and joins the army, and within a day, almost a thousand scholars in Yingtian start to call for friends and prepare to go north to join the army.

Even overnight, my grandfather reversed the image of brutal and brutal killings in the eyes of scholars.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the news.

Especially when I learned that some scholars actually felt that they had misunderstood the emperor before, they beat their chests and cried bitterly, shouting that the emperor was merciful.

Zhu Zhanji wondered how wonderful the expression on his grandfather's face would be when these news reached his grandfather's ears?
His grandfather has never concealed his rise to power, and he has never even denied the existence of Jianwen.

Even he himself often teased himself about the rebellion.

Just like describing his own stupid father, he often ridiculed his family's rebellious background, but such a great saint came out, like a cotton ball popping out of the gutter.

Now this matter, Zhu Zhanji feels no worse than when the old Zhu's family gave out such a cotton ball as his silly father.

After all, the scholars killed by my grandfather have almost caught up with my grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang.

One moment he was still in the sewer of seeking power and usurping the throne, and the next moment he turned into a white cotton ball in the mouth of a scholar.

Instead of scolding him, these scholars suddenly praised him?

With the sudden reversal, I guess Zhu Di must be stupid, right?

This was obviously a way to defraud the Kong family, but now it has become the reason for his kindness?

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanji felt a little funny. This is probably the first time in his life that his grandfather was called benevolent by a scholar, right?

kindness?

If the old man Kong Jin heard this, his old face would be as black as coal.

"You child, I don't know whether you are hurting your grandpa or praising your grandpa!"

Zhu Gaochi is naturally also paying attention to the impact of the newspaper's release.

I also heard the sudden change of my old man's image in the folk reading population.

There are also those scholars clamoring to go north, all of which caught him a little by surprise.

He regards the newspaper as a tool that allows scholars to understand the imperial policy in advance, and when he becomes an official, he can also know some ways to govern the people.

I didn't expect these scholars to be good, and they responded one after another when they heard that Kong Jin had given up his pen and joined the army.

Zhu Zhanji published something about Kong Jin, and he just glanced at it. He originally thought that Zhu Zhanji was just trying to weaken the influence of Kong Jin being forced to join the army by Zhu Di.

Who knew that it was the same result, but it was just a different process, and it turned out like this?
These scholars actually praised their father's kindness?
This old man can be regarded as benevolent, so there is probably no cruelty in the world, right?

Zhu Zhanji smiled when he heard the silly father's words, and said, "I think this is actually pretty good!"

"What's good? I think only your grandfather will think it's good. He's got a good reputation!"

Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes, with a strange expression, and then hesitantly said: "Also, you have to be stopped by those scholars who go north. A group of people can't resist, they can't lift their hands, and they can't even kill a chicken." Scholars, what can you do on the battlefield? Isn’t this giving the enemy a head for nothing?”

"fine!"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head, did not agree with his silly father's words, and said:

"Most of these scholars are just impulsive. There will not be too many people who will really go north. I will let them protect them and go north."

"In addition, what you said was paid for nothing on the battlefield. This is even more impossible. After all, these scholars are scholars who went to support Grandpa's Northern Expedition. Do you think Grandpa will be willing to let these scholars really go to the battlefield? Maybe he will feel sorry for these people. It’s like a treasure, it’s very rare among scholars to support his Northern Expedition.”

"Besides, it is more training for these passionate scholars to go through some battle scenes. In the future, maybe we can train a few Confucian generals who are good at fighting for our old Zhu family!"

"False reasoning, full of deceitful reasoning!"

Zhu Gaochi still feels that it is inappropriate to let these scholars go north. In his opinion, these scholars will be the pillars of the country in the future. If they are well cultivated, they are all talents who can govern the country.

In the mouth of his own son, he became a Confucian general who was good at fighting?
But he didn't know how to refute Zhu Zhanji. He couldn't say that scholars couldn't support the emperor, right?
Zhu Zhanji saw that his silly father had nothing to say, so he smiled and said: "Father, a sample of the first issue of the newspaper has been published, and you can do it yourself for the following newspapers. Just be in charge of the current affairs of the court."

"As for the others, whether it is people's livelihood or the place, as well as poetry and songs, you need to be responsible for it yourself!"

"I know!"

Zhu Gaochi was still thinking about the scholars going north, wondering if there was any way to persuade these people,
After all, these scholars have a good starting point, and they have the intention of serving the country. If they become officials in the future, as long as they keep their hearts, even if they can't make any political achievements, at least they won't be a disaster. He nodded perfunctorily.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji didn't take it seriously, and said: "In other words, I think this newspaper office, after I read it, still needs to be improved. First of all, the functions and manpower of each part must be fully arranged. Now, you can’t just watch everything by yourself.”

"Then what do you mean?"

Zhu Gaochi became serious when he heard his son mention the matter of perfecting the newspaper.

He is still very concerned about the affairs of the newspaper, especially after seeing the influence of the newspaper on the readers, he cares even more.

It's just that the newspaper was proposed by my son, and he has only a half-knowledge about the twists and turns in it.

Some things are still too little known compared to his own son, so he still attaches great importance to his son's opinions.

Zhu Zhanji glanced at the silly father and explained: "I mean that the current structure of the newspaper office is a bit too loose. In this way, firstly, it is definitely not conducive to management, and secondly, it will also cause some confusion of responsibilities. Even the source of the article is not stable, and this is obviously not a long-term solution."

"So I plan to plan the staff of the newspaper. There will be one editor-in-chief, and you will be responsible for commanding the entire newspaper. Next, according to the situation of each section, each section will have an editor-in-chief and two deputy editors. Each editor-in-chief Or three or four editors-in-charge will be assigned under the deputy editor-in-chief,”

"The task of the editor is to preliminarily review manuscripts, screen out some completely useless manuscripts, and then hand over the manuscripts that pass the preliminary review to their respective chief editors, and the task of the chief editors is to conduct a second review to find out excellent manuscripts, and then send the excellent ones to the editors. The manuscript will be handed over to you, and you will finalize it yourself and decide which ones to choose for publication.”

"In this way, it can also reduce some of your burden, and it can also select suitable manuscripts more quickly."

"There is also the issue of manuscript submission. You also need to arrange some special people to write articles by hand. Our family is not short of money now. You can give them some money and let them go to various places in Daming to find inspiration. Just submit a certain number of qualified articles on time every month."

Listening to his son's words, Zhu Gaochi fell into deep thought, thinking about the pros and cons of it.

After a while, he nodded and said: "The editor-in-chief, the deputy editor-in-chief and the editor-in-charge have arranged very well. The responsibilities of compiling manuscripts are clear. After screening the articles layer by layer, the manuscripts must be very good when they reach me. ok, but this..."

After speaking, he pondered for a while, Zhu Gaochi frowned and said: "I don't think it's appropriate to arrange for a special person to write the article by hand. The article is something that is obtained by accident. If you just blindly seek quantity, it will inevitably reduce quality!"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head when he heard the words and said: "There is no need to demand quality. I call this kind of person a reporter, who records events. Their main articles are to record what they have seen and heard in various places, such as going to civil society. Investigate, investigate places, such as whether the officials are implementing the various policies of the imperial court, and the acceptance of the policies by the people, well, just like last time I asked you to secretly arrange people to go to the people to ask the people, their articles do not need to be published How profound and beautiful, as long as the words are fluent and the events are clear."

"Reporter? That's a very appropriate title."

Zhu Gaochi nodded when he heard that he was not a writer of poems and songs.

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Other things are fine, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper office and the reporter's affairs, I will leave it to you, Dad."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help laughing and cursing, "I knew I'd find something for your father!"

"It's hard work for those who can!"

Zhu Zhanji smiled and flattered him.

As he said that, Zhu Zhanji seemed to think of something interesting again, and suddenly smiled and said, "By the way, Dad, a few days ago, I asked Zhang Mao to find the dog for you. It was a white-haired puppy. It is said that It came from the north of Nuer Gandusi, it is very rare, and it looks very cute, when will it be delivered to you?"

"Dog?"

Zhu Gaochi was stunned when he heard the words, and then he remembered that he really asked his son to get him a dog.

However, he just said it casually and didn't take it seriously. When he heard that his son really got him one, he couldn't help crying and said, "Why did you really get me one? Look, I seem to have that time now." Do you have a dog?"

"It's okay, you don't have time to imitate your mother, arrange two little eunuchs to wait on you."

Zhu Zhanji smiled nonchalantly, the owner of the cat has arranged for two beautiful little maids, this Wang Xingren can't lose his grade no matter what?
Zhu Gaochi nodded after thinking about it. The worst thing in the palace is the eunuch and maid. It's no problem to arrange two dogs to take care of him, so he said: "You can do it yourself. You can send it over any time. Well, that's right!"

Zhu Gaochi paused again as he spoke, and then said: "I heard from the maid in the palace that the seeds you planted in that greenhouse last time have all germinated. I went to see it, and it was all green. This method is really good. If it is promoted, it will be even better for the common people to grow some food in winter, so that two crops can be harvested in one year, which is equivalent to doubling the output."

　Let me talk about an update, because I have to arrange a trip back to my hometown tomorrow. Due to the epidemic, this kind of thing is quite troublesome now, so I can only update it twice today and tomorrow.
