Seeing Heng Gaozhuo's firm tone, Ran Fang was a little surprised.
He knew that Confucianism was not valued by Ying Zheng. Because of this, Confucianism was the most active one and the one closest to Fusu.
Now that Heng Gaozhuo gave up Fu Su and Ke Kao and came to him to work for the newspaper, people always had to doubt his motives.
He stared at Heng Gaozhuo with vigilant eyes, as if he wanted to see through his entire being.
"I remember that you also signed up for the scientific examination."
"You've already passed it, can you bear to give up such a great opportunity?"
Looking at Ran Fang's eyes and actions, Heng Gaozhuo thought Ran Fang was unwilling to let him do this.
As a result, when he heard Ran Fang's question, he was obviously relieved.
He said sincerely: "Since I am willing to stay with you, you must have already thought about this."
"Your Excellency is also from a Confucian family. You should know that Confucianism is not valued by Your Majesty now. Even if you become an official in the court, you may not be able to make a difference."
"When I originally wanted to become an official in the court, it was just for the Confucian sect to gain an opportunity and let the world see the Confucian sect's teachings."
"I thought about it for a long time last time I went back. The newspaper matter is a big deal. If this newspaper can really spread throughout the Qin Dynasty under my management, then I will also have the opportunity to make the Confucian sect flourish."
"As long as it is for the development of Confucianism, it doesn't matter where I am. It will not stop my love for Confucianism."
Not only Heng Gaozhuo knew this, but other people in the Confucian sect also understood it. Therefore, when Heng Gaozhuo said he wanted to come to work for Ran Fang, no one else stopped him.
Even in the eyes of those Confucian sects, since Ran Fang is also a Confucian sect, he will definitely help them promote Confucianism.
Moreover, this is also an opportunity for them to climb up to Ran Fang. This kind of opportunity is rare but rare.
Although Ran Fang is also a member of the Confucian sect, everything he does now has not been considered from the perspective of the Confucian sect, so they can only take action themselves.
Although Ran Fang didn't know what people in the Confucian sect thought of him now, he could make a guess based on Heng Gaozhuo's attitude.
He doesn't care about any of this. As long as Heng Gaozhuo can meet his requirements, it doesn't matter which family he is from.
"Now that you have made up your mind, I am willing to give you a chance."
"If you can do a good job in this newspaper office, then I will protect you. If you want to do your own thing in the future, I will not be able to accept it."
"But there's one more thing. I'm not letting you work as a newspaper to give you the opportunity to promote Confucianism. If you have selfish motives at that time, don't blame me for not respecting the friendship between the same disciples."
Hearing this, Heng Gaozhuo's attitude became serious and he immediately replied loudly: "Here!"
Ran Fang nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand slightly, and said softly: "Get up, sit down and talk."
"The newspaper office needs to be started as soon as possible. Let me tell you first who the newspaper office needs. You have to make a notice in the city to select suitable people."
"If someone in the Confucian sect is suitable, I will not recommend it. But if he is not suitable for you and you still choose him, then don't blame me for not giving you face."
Heng Gaozhuo immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Here."
When he said this, he looked a little excited.
Ran Fang did not look at his actions and continued to explain the affairs of the newspaper: "In the future, you will be the president of this newspaper, and all matters of this newspaper will be decided by the president."
"There are also reporters and editors, both of whom are your responsibility to select."
"Reporters are responsible for going out to cover various things. As long as something happens that needs to be reported, the reporter will investigate the matter personally, and then hand over the content of the interview to the editor, who will be responsible for writing it into a manuscript."
"And how the newspaper arranges various articles, which ones can be written on it and which ones cannot be written on it, it's all up to you to decide."
"After I make the final confirmation, we can start printing in large quantities."
This was the first time he knew the specific content of the newspaper. Heng Gaozhuo wanted to write down everything Ran Fang said verbatim, for fear that he would make a mistake in any step.
He is the first person and the first president of this newspaper. As long as he does a good job, this newspaper will be his future development place, and he must do it beautifully.
As long as he does things for Ran Fang, then this newspaper office will be his starting point!
"Here!"
"Where will this newspaper office be built?"
"Do you have any suggestions, sir?"
Ran Fang thought about it. The newspaper office not only needs a place to write articles, but also a place to print.
When this school is built in the future, it would be best if the printing area could be integrated with the books to save space and trouble.
He thought for a while and looked at Zhang Liang standing next to him.
"The newspaper office will be located in the most prosperous place in the city. You go directly to the shopkeeper of Liuguang Pavilion and ask him to go shopping with you."
"There needs to be an open space in front of the newspaper office. When the time comes, the newsstands will be placed there so that people can buy newspapers directly on the street."
"There is also a place to print newspapers... Zhang Liang will tell Liu Bang about this, I guess he will have a place."
"Let's call it a printing factory. When the time comes, the school's books and other things will also be printed. Let Liu Bang find a place. It can't be too far away from the newspaper office, and it shouldn't be too remote."
"Also, for convenience, a paper factory should be built next to the printing factory. This will be truly convenient."
Zhang Liang had been listening to them talking about the newspaper office. He thought it would just be a simple shop like a restaurant.
Unexpectedly, now we not only have to open a printing factory, but also a paper factory.
The most important thing is, if Liu Bang is given all these things, can he be busy?
I can actually share some of it myself.
"Sir, the young government has always been responsible for making paper. Wouldn't it be inappropriate if we opened a paper mill privately in the city?"
"There is also a printing factory. The printing of hundreds of book repair companies is also done by the Shaofu. In this case, wouldn't the people in the Shaofu have a grudge?"
In fact, Zhang Liang said this euphemistically. The most important thing was that he was worried that His Majesty would have objections.
Ran Fang knew that not many people knew about the papermaking and movable type printing techniques that he had originally mentioned, and many people thought that the Shaofu had researched them.
Now that he has directly stolen it, the young master will definitely not just let it go.
And they don’t know these techniques. Do they still need to ask people from the Shaofu to learn them?
"Don't worry, no one in the Young Mansion will dare to say anything, not even His Majesty."
"Let's handle this matter with peace of mind."
Seeing that Ran Fang was so confident, Zhang Liang couldn't say anything else.
However, he thought for a moment and still felt a little embarrassed and said: "Now Liu Bang is busy with other things. If he is asked to be responsible for these two things again, I am afraid he will be a little overwhelmed."
"My subordinate is worried that he will not do well, so why not..."
Before he finished speaking, Ran Fang nodded and said, "Indeed."
"It's my fault that I didn't do everything well. Then..." Ran Fang glanced at Zhang Liang as he said that. Just when Zhang Liang thought he was of use, he saw Ran Fang's eyes turning to Heng Gaozhuo again. .
"Then I'll leave this matter to you."
"I know you have a good relationship with the people in Gongshujia. I will draw out the printing and papermaking techniques and let them make more."
"You can just choose a few secluded places in the city and put all the prepared things there."
"When you're ready, I'll find someone to do it."
