Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 441 The Wanyanshu Incident ([-])
Undoubtedly, Wu, Lin, and Fang are all wise men among wise men, and they are all knowledgeable and versatile. The solutions they proposed are all feasible, whether it is the bulletin board or the secret book The only method is that if the former is implemented to the end, it will either create a large number of cruel officials like Lai Junchen, or create a large number of professional petitioners; and the huge workload generated by the latter is something Yin Zuo is unwilling to face.

newspaper?It's not that Yinzuo hasn't considered this weapon of the media. In fact, Yinzuo had the idea of ​​a newspaper as soon as the "Wanyanshu" came out. Newspapers pass the time, Yinzuo is very clear about the role of newspapers in guiding public opinion, but Yinzuo is more clear: newspapers are a double-edged sword, if you are not careful, you will hurt others and yourself, freedom of speech Once the door is opened - as far as China is concerned in the present age, Budi has opened a Pandora's box, in which there are not only angels, but more devils!
To run a newspaper is by no means as easy as imagined, and there are so many things involved in it that there are countless things involved: first of all, who will run the newspaper, and now Yin Zuo advocates The reform has just started on the road, what is needed is absolute power to suppress the traditional forces, it is impossible and absolutely will not allow different voices to appear, so this newspaper can only be run by the government, in other words, this newspaper Newspapers are the mouthpiece of Yinzuo, and they are used to shout for various policies of Yinzuo. It may be able to achieve the purpose of advocacy, but it may be impossible to spread the word. In other words, this newspaper is only equivalent to the existing The mansion newspaper is just making public the mansion newspaper that was originally only aimed at officials. Whether it can achieve the role of guiding public opinion is still uncertain.But once the scale is relaxed and the private sector is allowed to run newspapers, the way of speaking may be clear, but the negative effects it brings may not be affordable by Yinzuo. After all, the innovation that Yinzuo wants at this moment is from above. For the next innovation, what is most needed is stability, not a chaotic situation where various thoughts are flooding - innovation is not revolution, and Yinzuo has no intention of revolutionizing his own life.

Secondly, there is the problem of funds: a newspaper is only a few cents in later generations. If it is not counted as advertising revenue, the income of these few cents cannot even pay for the printing ink of the newspaper, let alone the cost of paper, transportation, sales, labor and so on. , if you don’t consider advertisements, according to Yinzuo’s estimation, a newspaper in this era is calculated with eight [-]-page pages. Now that the sales are over, how many people can afford such an expensive newspaper?If it is sold at a loss, then this newspaper will be a bottomless black hole, no matter how rich Yin Zuo is, he cannot continue to play for such a long time.Engage in advertising?There is a possibility, but it is not too big. The small peasant economy in this season is destined to not have too many merchants who want to advertise, at least Yin Zuo thinks so. Moreover, in this era of orthodoxy, an official If there are a lot of advertisements in the newspapers, I am afraid that it will cause even more disputes-God knows whether the advertisements of those merchants are true or not. In case of false advertisements, the loss of government prestige is not a joke.

Third, the audience problem: Most Chinese people in this era are illiterate and semi-literate. Even semi-literate people who can read a few words cannot understand the classical Chinese that is full of nonsense in official articles. Those literati, and these people are only a small minority among China's population of nearly [-] million. Yinzuo really has no idea how much sales a newspaper can have. Even those literati will pay for an official propaganda article Yinzuo was suspicious, after all, Yinzuo's innovation was largely weakening the interests of officials and gentry.

Fourth, the problem of timeliness: In this age without computer networks, even telegrams and telephones, a piece of news spread from the capital to the whole country has become old news for a long time.And how can we understand public opinion through newspapers?

"Three gentlemen, I have an idea. I plan to get someone to run a newspaper. This newspaper is like this..." Yinzuo looked at the three counselors and pondered for a long time, but he didn't come up with an idea. I had to explain in detail the newspaper issues I was thinking about, and even expressed all the doubts in my heart without hiding a trace.

"Your Majesty's idea is good, I think it's feasible!" After a while of silence, Wu Sidao took the lead and said: "Although there are some risks in such things, as long as you grasp it properly, it's okay. It's better than this: this newspaper is the imperial court. However, it is not appropriate for the imperial court to come forward. The Holy Majesty can send someone to take charge of the matter in order to achieve a buffer effect. To ensure accuracy. As for the publication and distribution, there is no need to worry too much. This newspaper can be issued every five days or ten days in the capital first, and then the sample will be distributed to various places, and the printing bureaus designated by each place will reprint it. However, manuscripts from various places can be proofread by the newspaper and submitted to the Ministry of Rites for review before printing. If the forecast is not bad, there is no doubt that this newspaper will sell well, and it is not uncommon for Luoyang paper to be expensive."

"Wonderful words!" Fang Bao applauded and laughed loudly, "Brother Yulu's words are very true. The advertisements mentioned by the Holy Majesty are actually in great demand. If those banks and merchants hear about this wonderful thing, they will definitely gather here. As the saying goes, family affairs, state affairs, and everything are concerned, and none of today's scholars would not want to know about the dynamics of the court, and this newspaper is undoubtedly a bestseller."

Lin Xuanyi pondered and said: "Your Majesty, I don't think you can understand the reasoning. Since there is such a 'Wan Yan Shu', why don't you ask someone to publish some corresponding articles on this matter? Even if it causes a big debate, it is okay. Talking about war on paper is better than rolling people's heads to the ground, as long as the guidance is strengthened, it is better than using force."

Well, is it reasonable or not?It makes sense, we don't believe that so many wise men and pens under our command will lose to those idiots in the rivers and lakes, and a big debate will be enough.Audit by the Ministry of Rites?inappropriate!The third child already has diplomatic power in his hands, and with the power to review public opinion, what's the deal?Well, it's not a big deal to set up a news bureau. Lao Lin has always been prudent, so it's okay to let him come forward to do this, but who will run the newspaper?The person who runs the newspaper firstly needs writing skills, secondly, he needs to have political acumen, and of course the most important thing is that he needs to be trustworthy.Yinzuo pondered for a long time, his eyes kept wandering around the three counselors, which made the three counselors feel a little bit confused, and didn't know what wrong idea Yinzuo was planning.

After a long while, Yinzuo smirked and said: "Since the three gentlemen all think that this strategy can work, I will agree, but since this idea is decided by you, I will entrust this matter to the three gentlemen." Mr. Wu, I know that you have always wanted to retire to the forest, but I have always been inseparable from you, so I never let you go. This time I really let go. Hehe, Mr. Wu came out for this newspaper After the integration is completed, I will allocate the required start-up funds from the internal treasury. As for the issue of newspaper review, I don't intend to hand it over to the Ministry of Rites. I will set up a news bureau and be managed by the Military Aircraft Department. I see Li He His injury is almost healed, so the news bureau will trouble Lihe to take care of it. Oh, Mr. Fang is a master of writing, and I think Mr. Fang will be the coach of this big debate. Haha, three I can trust the talent of this gentleman, so this matter can be settled like this?"

Can become?Look at Yinzuo's question, he, the emperor, has already spoken, so there is no room for discussion, even though Wu and Lin have early retreated in their hearts, they can see that Yinzuo has no intention of letting go at all, on the contrary Entrusting this important matter to myself, there is no sign of the bird being exhausted, the rabbit dying and the dog cooking, and the uneasiness in my heart has eased a lot, but there is no second word, and each of them agreed.The monarch and his ministers discussed for a while what to do with the newspaper. Yin Zuo poured out all his knowledge about the newspaper. The three counselors were amazed to hear such things as lace news and paparazzi. Yu couldn't help but be amazed.

"Forget it, it's getting late, and it's time for me to go back to the palace. This matter is settled. The next morning will be the morning court. The three gentlemen will hurry up to discuss and come up with a charter. I still have great use, eh , this matter will be kept secret for the time being, I don’t want the city to be full of disturbances before the matter is done.” After chatting for a while, Yinzuo got up with a smile on his face, and seemed to give a casual order.All the people present are wise men, how can they not know the true meaning of Yin Zuo's words, the left and right are just planning to see the reaction of the courtiers and test the skills of the two elder brothers, everyone knows it well, but they don't dare to point it out , each agreed to come down...

The "Wan Yan Shu" is a big event, and none of the civil and military officials in the court do not care about it. As elder brothers, Hongli and Hongyang brothers are no exception. After the referendum on this matter, the two brothers also got busy, this one Yin Zuo pretended to leave the palace, and the other two brothers also sneaked out like a father, just like a father.

"Mr. Cao, how should we solve this matter? It will be early in the morning the next day, and there is no guarantee that Huang Ama will ask questions in court. I have no idea, and I will definitely be punished by then. If the second child takes over Go first, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get back from this situation." Hongli asked angrily as soon as he walked into Cao Xiandong's study, before he sat down on his buttocks.

Cao Xiandong gave Hongli an angry look and said, "Brother, I'm in a hurry. If this matter is easy to solve, the Holy Majesty will issue an edict early in the morning."

Hongli didn't care about Cao Xiandong's rudeness, he laughed, shook his fan and said: "From Mr. Cao's tone, this matter must be settled, which is great."

Looking at Hongli's smiling face, Cao Xiandong really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he shook his head and said: "The Holy Majesty's intention has already been made clear, and the Holy Majesty will never kill people on this matter, otherwise there is no need for court discussion, an imperial edict It is enough. Well, although the Holy One is a decisive person, he does not kill indiscriminately, which is really admirable."

"That's natural. Huang Ama's sage is not empty words. Ben Baylor also knows that Huang Ama will never kill indiscriminately, but if this matter does not start killing, how can we stop the villain from causing trouble? Could it be Huang Ama? Can you sit and watch those who have no king and no father run rampant? Ben Baylor really can't come up with an idea, since Mr. Cao already has the answer, please tell me." Hongli said with a smile on his face.

Cao Xiandong frowned and said: "I'm afraid the cause of this matter is a little strange. If no one provoked it, I'm afraid such a big event would not have happened, but this 'Wan Yan Shu' has been widely circulated. It may not be easy to find out the source, oh, it may even be impossible, the Holy Majesty will never touch the idea of ​​​​finding the source, the only thing he cares about is how to guide the hearts of the people."

Hongli nodded his head and said: "Ben Baylor has already thought of this point. It may not be without reason. It is not uncommon for this 'Book of Thousand Words' to appear. It is the fatal thing that can spread. It started because of Huang Ama's innovation. Well, let's talk about the money law. There is no doubt that this move will benefit the country and the people. It is impossible to say that there are no complaints, but how to educate the people and guide public opinion is difficult, why did you teach me?"

Cao Xiandong's frowned brows relaxed, he smiled and said, "It's really not easy for elder brother to recognize this point, hehe, if elder brother can't even see through this, there's no need to argue with second master Yes. Since we want to educate the people, we should naturally start with how to educate them. Studying politics is one way, publishing advertisements is another way, publishing books is another way, and the Overwatch Council is also a way. There are so many ways, my lord. Brother, if you think about it, you will know the root of it, do you still need someone to teach you?"

Hongli put away his smiling face, and fell into deep thought with a serious face. After a long while, he suddenly laughed and clapped his hands: "I know how to deal with this matter, thank you sir for your guidance."

"It's good to know, big brother can at least keep a tie if he knows how to deal with it." Cao Xiandong said blankly.

"Tie? The second child..." Hongli's eyes changed for a long time, and his face became cloudy because of this...
