Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 83 The Role of Newspapers (Fourth Update)
Bobo didn't know that his mother was flirting behind his back, so he looked carefully outside.

Although Bobo has never said it, he admires Yinzhen, the Ama, in his heart. In Bobo's eyes, Ama is the most powerful person, who controls the fate of many people, and one look can make people afraid.

Bobo really wants to be like his Ama. Bobo is closest to Yunrong, the eunuch, but the one who is most convinced in his heart is Yinzhen, the ama. Mu also has admiration.

Bobo observes the outside world very carefully. Bobo has already read books. Although he has not been exposed to the outside world, his husband will give some examples when he usually gives lectures. He is very practical and has given many specific examples.

Bobo was observing what Mr. Li said on weekdays, and what he saw was no longer just crowds and excitement.

Bobo only came to his senses when he saw the carriage stop.

Yinzhen: "Go down and see more clearly, let's go."

Yinzhen took Yunrong with one hand and his son with the other and got out of the carriage.

If you want to say where you can hear the gossip the most, if you go out of those unclean places, you can count the most news about teahouses. If the conditions are good, you can book a private room, and if the conditions are not good, you can sit in the downstairs lobby and have a cheap bowl. Tea, the gathering of the three teachings and nine streams.

The contents of a restaurant in a certain place are the latest hot spots and gossip in a certain place. Yinzhen and Yunrong and a child are all dressed in extraordinary clothes, and there are waiters behind them. As soon as they enter, they are greeted by the shopkeeper in person.

The shopkeeper looked very winking, and said with a smile: "Hello, gentlemen, what can I order?"

Liang Jiugong, as the chief eunuch, naturally wouldn't let his master say something like this: "Shopkeeper, open a private room upstairs, and serve the best tea in your shop."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Okay, Xiaoer, quickly bring some guest officers upstairs."

A child appeared and said to them: "Several guest officers, the younger one will take you up."

When they went upstairs, there were constant voices in the lobby below, and the most talked about was what happened in a village in the capital, which had something to do with "Zheng Bao" and "Chen Xi".

Yinzhen listened intermittently, and when he went upstairs, he asked people to go down to inquire what was going on. The inquirer moved quickly and came up to explain the situation after a while.

The thing is like this, in a village near the capital city, the tax collector in charge of this village is a related household, a relative in the family climbed into a wealthy family, he ascended to heaven with a chicken and a dog, and mixed up with a tax collector to do work.

Although yamen servants belonged to the civil servants in ancient times, they belonged to the lowest level of civil servants. The monthly payment they could get was limited, and naturally they would not be satisfied after a long time.

So he moved his mind and wanted to tamper with the taxes. He was illiterate, so he felt that the people were easy to fool, so the taxes were naturally higher every time. Although the high taxes were not much, he collected more places. It is also an optimistic income.

And the people!Most of them are illiterate families, and they don't know how the court collects taxes. Naturally, the government servants will do whatever they want.

The content of the second issue of "Politics Daily" included the tax situation in recent years. There are also scholars in the villages around the capital. Although there are not many and the quality is not high, they are literate. The scholars in one village read the latest The first issue of "Politics Daily" found that the tax has not been raised in recent years, and in some years with bad harvests, the tax should have been lowered a lot.

This matter was kept in mind by the scholars, and then they went to the village head, Li Zheng, the head of the clan, and the elders of the clan. He told the matter, it was related to his own interests, and after being deceived for so many years, they Naturally, it will not pass by casually.

In the end, the clan and the village took the lead in this matter, and joined forces with people from other deceived villages to make this matter a big deal.

In the end, this incident was reported by "Chenxi" that week and spread in the capital.

After hearing this, Yinzhen felt that his newspaper was not in vain.

Yun Rong is also listening by the side!In Yunrong's time, newspapers were the closest thing to her. They were the paper used to wrap some instruments in the laboratory when she was a student. Later, with the upgrading of the laboratory, newspapers were not commonly used anymore.

Usually, she reads the news on the Internet, and Yunrong doesn't have much awareness of newspapers. After listening to these, Yunrong realized the power of newspapers.

It is indeed very useful, although there is still room for manipulation inside, but to a large extent it holds you, and some cheeses are just that no one dares to move, so that the lives of ordinary people can be easier.

And because of this incident, the yamen servant was naturally dealt with according to the law, and the relative who supported him was originally because the daughter at home became the concubine of a powerful family, and the rich and powerful only saw her good looks. Darling, now that things are getting serious, naturally they won't cause trouble and hurt themselves.

Moreover, it will be difficult for that concubine to pamper her in the future.

After this incident, the common people understood the role of newspapers even more. Nowadays, in the villages around the capital, none of the villages buy monthly or weekly newspapers on time. It was unexpected to read the contents of the newspaper to the villagers.

When this incident spread, not only the common people were convinced of the credibility of the newspaper, but also some people who usually rely on the big trees to enjoy the shade began to feel a little scared, and they didn't dare to do things so presumptuously.

In the past, the common people didn't know anything, so naturally they were allowed to fool you. Now the common people know everything they should know. If they want to fool you, let's see if they can stop fooling them.

Yunrong looked at Yinzhen and said, "When the newspaper comes out, the treasury will have a lot of money in the future, and it won't raise too many corrupt officials."

Why do you say "not too many corrupt officials"?Because Yunrong also knows that there is no way to completely eradicate corrupt officials. Officials are all politically clean. What a joke, they have studied hard for ten years in the cold window, just to make a fortune one day and change their family.

Besides, after becoming an official, I faced too many temptations. Even if I really didn't have that kind of thought at the beginning, I read with a heart of serving the country and the people when I was studying.

Yinzhen sighed and said, "It's just a pity, corrupt officials can never end!"

Yunrong: "You can think about it for the better. If you can't cure it, you can take it slowly. As long as you do it, you will have to pay the price no matter sooner or later. How about that sentence, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and corrupt officials may be able to be corrupt for a while. , but as much as they are greedy, they will spit out as much one day.”

Yinzhen was "comforted" by Yunrong's flowers, and said with a smile, "You are right."

They just found a teahouse at random and went in. The best tea in it was to the extent that they could swallow it. After listening to two gossips, the family of three left with their servants.

Yinzhen intends to go to Liulichang, because he intends to take his son there to open his eyes and let him "see".

The things in Liulichang are true and false. Bobo usually comes into contact with good things. If he has never seen a defective product, there will be no comparison. It should be to let him know more, so he came to Liulichang.

Yunrong of Liulichang had been here before she got married, and when the elders in the family were choosing presents for their birthdays, they would come and scour the good things to take back.
