Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 124 About the Newspaper Office (Second Update)

"It's ready, let's serve!"

Li Xiangjun turned his head and gave instructions, and in a short while, two beautiful girls came to Zhu Youjian with their tall feet.

And Li Xiangjun personally came with hot water and squatted in front of Zhu Youjian: "Your Majesty, please lift your feet."

Zhu Youjian didn't expect to be able to enjoy the foot bath service here, so he lifted his feet, only feeling a pair of warm jade hands touching his frozen ankles, and his whole body felt numb as if touched by an electric current very.

The water was a bit hot, but it was bearable, and it just allowed the blood that had been frozen in the snow to flow again. Zhu Youjian felt his whole body was getting hot. He dropped the memorial and looked back, and saw that Li Xiangjun was covering the water layer by layer. On his feet, it's easy to be mesmerized by the focused look beneath the wink of eyelashes.

However, the hunger in Zhu Youjian's stomach at this time became more and more intense. After Li Xiangjun drained the water from Zhu Youjian's feet, Zhu Youjian couldn't wait to sacrifice to his five internal organs temple, but there was nothing he could do. , You have to wait for Shi Kefa to taste it before he can taste it.

The fragrant soup dumplings floated into the noses of Yan Yingyuan and the three who were temporarily guarding outside the door.

Looking again, Yingying Yanyan's group of people circled around His Majesty the Emperor, and there were people serving him from washing his feet to washing his hands and rinsing his mouth. Feng Houdun couldn't help saying, "I miss my little butterfly!"

"One day we can bring beautiful wives and beautiful concubines, children and grandchildren, and enjoy the happiness of family and dunlun. Isn't that the reason why we join the Guards? Maybe in a few years when the world is peaceful, we can also have beautiful women to hold wine and share with them sleep!"

Chen Mingyu said with a smile.

But Feng Houdun didn't even think about it, so he replied: "At that time, I have to take another concubine!"

"Can you have a chance!"

Yan Yingyuan slapped Feng Houdun with a smile, and hurriedly stood up again: "Don't look at your Majesty, who is like an ordinary person on the road, but always looks at the North Kingdom in words and deeds. It can be seen that His Majesty is also worried about the future situation. It may be a rare year of peace, but if we can meet another year of peace in our lifetime, it will be enough to be a farmer!"

"Liu Mazi is here!"

While Yan Yingyuan was talking, Feng Houdun hurriedly pulled him.

I saw Liu Jingting, dressed in commoner clothes and shoulders full of snow, coming to Zhu Youjian along the road paved with gravel.

"Grassman Liu Jingting has seen His Majesty!"

"Get up, I just listened to your storytelling, it is very eloquent, I intend to enlist you as a minister of the Imperial Academy, to be the mouthpiece of the world for me, what do you think?"

Zhu Youjian asked.

"I don't understand what His Majesty's mouthpiece means. The mouth of this minister is just telling jokes and stories. I really can't tell right from wrong in the court." Liu Jingting felt nervous in his heart. Although he was still calm on the surface, he Hearing that His Majesty wanted to recruit him as a minister of the Imperial Academy, he was surprised but also excited.

"I didn't ask you to be a preacher for me. What I want is to let you continue to tell stories and make up stories, but you have to tell the stories to the people according to what I want. The officials all use my words Fooling the people, and you Liu Jingting is quite famous among the people, I believe you will not misinterpret my meaning to deceive the people of the world."

Zhu Youjian's meaning is very clear. He just wants Liu Jingting to be his propaganda tongue. At present, the printing industry in the Jiangnan area is developed and the literacy rate is relatively high, but the power of public opinion is still controlled by the literati who control the pen. Zhu Youjian The government has regained the power of public opinion. In the future, whether people's hearts can be used by them all depends on whether they can control public opinion well.

And Liu Jingting's popularity among the common people and his status as a poor family determine that Liu Jingting is suitable to be his mouthpiece.

"Since this is the case, please tell your Majesty, if I can do something beneficial to the people of the world, then my life, Liu Jingting, will be considered worthwhile."

Liu Jingting noticed that Li Xiangjun was also here, but he didn't mention it at all, but Zhu Youjian went directly to hold Li Xiangjun's hand, but Li Xiangjun instinctively let go of his hand, but suddenly realized that it seemed disrespectful to do so , Hastily bowed to apologize: "Your Majesty, forgive me, my family is just, just."

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly, waved his hand, signaled to Li Xiangjun that there is no need to explain, and then pointed to Li Xiangjun to Liu Jingting: "This is Li Xiangjun who is well-known in Qinhuai, nicknamed Incense Fan Pendant, and I met him by chance at Dantukou. Today I ran into you Liu Jingting again in a small teahouse. You two are destined to be with me, and I will live up to the destined person. You, Liu Jingting, eat this bowl of rice by inquiring about news from all over the world, making up stories and telling jokes, and Li Xiangjun has made friends with countless gentry and heroes. Ladies, it is a perfect fit for the two of you to open a newspaper for me, and the two of you are not from famous families, so naturally you don’t have to worry about not making decisions for the people and just being the mouthpiece of the gentry; as for what a newspaper is, let me eat first. Talk to you while eating."

Li Xiangjun couldn't help being surprised. She thought that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian asked her to go back to Dantu to wait for him, and he really wanted to go to Wushan with her. Although she didn't know the current emperor for the first time, she also knew that the emperor's order must not be violated. And just waiting to accept such an arrangement, even if His Majesty wanted to touch her hand just now, she just refused instinctively, and immediately regretted it.

But what Li Xiangjun didn't expect was that the current Majesty Zhu Youjian might covet the beauty of a woman just like other men, but he actually wanted her to work for the court.

Although he is famous, Li Xiangjun also knows that he is just a sensual scene for people to have fun, so he plays, plays, sings and dances. He never thought that he could also do business for the court.

It's just that Li Xiangjun doesn't know what a newspaper office is, but she can tell from Zhu Youjian's words that it should no longer be a joke business.

Liu Jingting had never heard of the newspaper, but in his opinion, it might be similar to the Dibao, and he could only wait for His Majesty in front of him to elaborate on what it was.

Although Zhu Youjian was a science student in his previous life, he also participated in the student union when he was in college, and he had run academic journals and military training bulletins, so he generally knew how to run a newspaper office.

Things like newspapers are now called media, that is, the medium of news transmission. In fact, there are things of this nature in the current Ming Dynasty, such as Di Bao and Liu Jingting, which convey political stories through storytelling.

It's just that Daming's media dissemination is not based on profit-making, and Liu Jingting's storytelling is only once or twice.

What Zhu Youjian wants to do is to establish a newspaper office that has only become popular in modern times, which can not only promote the prosperity of the cultural industry, but also make the flow of news faster, and thereby control the power of public opinion in the entire society.

At least until the rise of the Internet in the future, as long as Zhu Youjian controls the media, he will control the right to speak.

Zhu Youjian explained what a newspaper is and the difference between a newspaper and a newspaper, and even took a piece of rice paper to make a simple layout.

"In terms of printing, I can help you with Shi Kefa, who is in charge of the inner court, and organize the editorial team. I can also ask Dongchang Wang Chengen and Jin Yiwei Commander Wu Mengming to send some people who are good at inquiring about news to help you. For editors, you can recruit some articles to write. Okay, for the editor, you should know a lot of painters, and I will tell you how to sell them specifically, the refugees and beggars on the street can use them, even children!"

　I’m getting home late, I’ll continue to write another chapter, and try to see if I can write two more chapters
