Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Although the tone of Lian Zhenji's speech is not as yin and yang as before, but the content is bold and Pijiang disagrees.

He said: "The Pingxi King granted by the Qing captives can count? I'm afraid that after a hundred years, Wu Sangui will be scolded as a traitor, and Chen Yuanyuan will also be scolded along with him."

What Lian Zhenji wanted to say, Chen Zhenhui's servant came up with two newspapers.

Chen Zhenhui took it, and was immediately surprised, "This "Da Ming Pao" is so exquisite!"

Mao Pijiang got up and came over to take another copy, and sighed with his tusk: "This paper is the best paper, and the printing is far superior to the current world...How much is a copy of "Da Ming Pao"?"

The last sentence was addressed to Chen Zhenhui's servant.

The servant replied humbly: "A piece of ten coins, it is said that the first issue of the newspaper is sold at a [-]% discount."

"So cheap?" Mao Bijiang was surprised, "Even if there is no discount, it is only [-] cents. Although this newspaper is a thin volume, it has eight copies including the cover, so I only bought [-] cents? Then Liu Rushi Do you want to lose money and gain fame?"

While speaking, Mao Pijiang stared at the newspaper cover.

I saw that the newspaper seemed a little big, it was one foot long vertically and about two-thirds of a foot wide horizontally.

The lower third is white as the background color, with the words "Baoming University" written horizontally.

Mao Pijiang was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that it should be read from left to right, which is "Daming Pao".

At the bottom right of it, that is, the bottom right corner of the cover, there is a line of small characters that is also read horizontally from left to right: "Da Ming Pao", the first issue of the ten-day periodical, was issued on August [-], the first year of Zhaowu.

"Judou" is well known, and it is mostly used privately by scholars, and it is not standardized, but it is the first time he has seen it used so formally in a "book".

However, what attracted Mao Pijiang's attention the most was the two-thirds of the bright patterns on the cover.

It uses bright red as the background color, the bright yellow sun and the snow-white crescent moon embrace each other, leaving a little red in the middle to distinguish the two.

Mao Bijiang stayed in Nanjing all the year round, and he also traveled to various places in the south of the Yangtze River, so he has some knowledge.

At this moment, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, thinking: This is my Ming Dynasty flag!

The Ming Dynasty and the previous dynasties did not have national flags, but as Emperor Longqing opened the sea and had more contacts with overseas countries, he found that many countries had national flags, so he ordered the sun and moon flag to be the national flag of Ming Dynasty.

Not many people know about this in China, but some maritime merchants used to hang the sun and moon flags on ships.

In addition, this is not the case with the previous Sun and Moon flags—the Sun and Moon flags on the cover are obviously more concise and atmospheric, and the bright red background color is unprecedented.

It's just that it's fine for Liu Rushi to run a newspaper, so how dare he tamper with the national flag?

Even if the national flag is not taken seriously in Daming, if it is reported to the saint by someone with a heart, Liu Rushi may be convicted, right?
When Mao Bijiang was thinking this way, Chen Zhenhui was surprised again.

"This, this "Da Ming Pao" was actually run by Liu Rushi by order? She actually became an official of the court?!"

Previously, the rather exquisite and novel cover of "Da Ming Pao" just made the three women Hou Fangyu, Lian Zhenji and Bian Yujing visit curiously, and they did not come over to watch in a hurry.

But at this time, after hearing Chen Zhenhui's words, they couldn't calm down anymore.

"Sister Liu has become a female official?" Dong Xiaowan let out a surprise, put down the tea set, and went to Mao Pijiang to watch.

I happened to see Mao Bijiang open the cover, and saw a lot of words printed on the back of the cover.

The first line is enlarged and bolded: Preach the Holy Will!Open up the wisdom of the people!Guide the atmosphere!

The second line: "Da Ming Pao" is specially run by the Da Ming Pao newspaper office under the jurisdiction of the Propaganda Department!

Recommended by the newspaper: Liu Rushi
Editor-in-Chief of the Newspaper Office: Liu Rushi
"Da Ming Pao" was founded and is in urgent need of talents. The following positions are available. Anyone who can read and write is welcome to apply!

Then came a series of newspaper jobs...
Mao Bijiang saw that his mouth was dry and his mind was unable to think for a while.

Dong Xiaowan reacted more slowly, still muttering: "Why are the characters in this newspaper written horizontally from left to right?
Hey, Sister Liu actually did a promotion. I remember that promotion seems to be an official official position in the previous six departments, right?How many products are there? "

"It's the eighth rank!" Chen Zhenhui answered, "Generally speaking, even if you are a Jinshi, many of you who were first appointed in the sixth department started from the eighth rank.

Your Majesty actually uses a woman as an official official, and she is a woman from a brothel, this is really..."

What it really was, Chen Zhenhui couldn't tell for a while.

When he felt Bian Yujing and Dong Xiaowan looked at him, he realized that what he just said was slightly inappropriate, but he didn't take it to heart.

In Chen Zhenhui's perception, women in brothels are inherently lowly, since they have done well, how can they say nothing?
Chen Zhenhui continued to read the official content of the newspaper, and couldn't help but frown when she caught sight of it.

He can overcome the horizontal typesetting of the text from left to right; he can't bother to add strange symbols such as commas all over the place; but what the hell is the wording and sentence making in this article?

"The new policy has been implemented in Yingtianfu for two months, and it has been fully implemented in all counties, and the gentry and common people have responded well.

His Majesty said that while consolidating the achievements of the New Deal, we should continue to deepen various reforms and correct mistakes in a timely manner to ensure that the New Deal benefits the people and does not harm the people..."

Looking at it, the muscles on Chen Zhenhui's face were all distorted, and her beard was shaking.

After only reading two or three paragraphs, he couldn't help but put the newspapers on the low table in front of him, and said angrily: "Thanks to Liu Rushi who was famous for her poetry and prose in Qinhuai in the past, His Majesty gave her an official position and asked her to run a newspaper, so she did it like this ?
Even if her servant girl were to write it, it wouldn't be possible to write such a vernacular article, would it?

Such a "Da Ming Pao" might make the world's scholars laugh out loud, and she, Liu Rushi, is simply in vain! "

Chen Zhenhui was really angry and uncomfortable.

Think of him as Chen Dingsheng, who is full of talent, but has repeatedly failed the imperial examinations. He is still only a scholar, unable to meet the minimum standard of being an official. Even if he is full of ambitions, he has nowhere to serve the country.

This Liu Ru was born in a lowly status as a brothel woman, and for His Majesty's credit, she did this to replace the newspapers and periodicals of the mansion, but she was fooled by such plain-spoken articles.

I'm so pissed off!
Mao Bijiang also frowned - those of them who have studied for many years are the most despised rubbish articles.

However, after enduring all kinds of discomfort, Mao Bijiang saw some ways.

"I actually feel that the article in the Ming Pao seems to be deliberately written in the vernacular. It's just that the Da Ming Pao has stated that it is specially executed by order. Wouldn't such an act be detrimental to the court's face?"

Dong Xiaowan couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "I think this article is quite easy to read, the meaning of the text is straightforward, and you can understand it at a glance."

She was born as a merchant woman, famous for her embroidery skills, cooking skills, and tea art. She is probably the one with the worst literary quality among the eight beauties of the Qinhuai River.

Therefore, I feel that this newspaper is quite appetizing, unlike some other books and articles, which are all about the truth, and the ordinary people can't understand it.

Because Chen Zhenhui and Mao Pijiang were surprised, happy and angry, they revealed too many things, and Bian Yujing, who had been pretending to be calm by the easel, couldn't hold back anymore.

She got up and went to the window of the painting boat, wanting to buy another copy of "Da Ming Pao", but saw that the newsboy was surrounded by people, and the original thick stack of newspapers and periodicals on her back was about to be sold out.

This is not what Bian Yujing expected.

Nowadays, no one has anything for entertainment. This "Da Ming Pao" is so novel and cheap, and Nanjing is a place where culture gathers. It is not uncommon for it to be looted as soon as it comes out.

Realizing that even if she sends her maid to buy it now, she will definitely not be able to buy it, so Bian Yujing can only give up.

She came to Chen Dingsheng and said: "Lend this newspaper to the slave family and the two younger sisters, and Mr. Chen and Mr. Mao share a copy?"

Although Chen Zhenhui looked down on women from the brothel, she was not stingy when facing the women from the youth building, she nodded immediately, "Just take it."

Drink tea after talking - he is really angry and needs to take a break.

After Bian Yujing greeted Dong Xiaowan and Bian Min to read the newspaper together, Hou Fangyu also dragged Lian Zhenji to Mao Pijiang's side...

At the same time, almost everyone inside and outside Nanjing was discussing the just-launched Da Ming Pao.

In order to publicize, Liu Rushi also sent people to read newspapers while selling them at the place where the government posted announcements.

It's different from some novels where newspapers come out and no one cares about them.

There is no shortage of literate people in Nanjing, but there are very few fresh reading materials, and newspapers are beautifully printed and cheap, so many people rush to buy them as soon as they show up.

No, the hundreds of newspapers on the bulletin board near Yingchunfang were sold out in a short time.

Some people didn't buy it, but they didn't want to disperse around it, and all kinds of shouts were mixed together.

"I said that your newspaper is not sold too cheaply, is it?"

"Who has "Daming Pao"? I would like to bid one tael of silver for a copy!"

"Are you still selling it here? If not, I'll look elsewhere!"

"···"

The person in charge of the sale was an official from the newspaper office, who shouted at the top of his voice when he saw this: "Don't worry, everyone, I have already sent someone to the printing factory to pick up the newspaper, and our printing factory is still printing, those who want to buy, please wait a moment." If you really can't wait, you can listen to us read the newspaper."
