Zai Chun took advantage of the political turmoil in the court to withdraw from the Qing Times. In order to control the country's throat, Zai Chun appointed Fu Qing, an absolute reformist official, to be responsible for the publication of the newspaper!
Since everything is a first-time creation, this newspaper does not have an exact release time. Sometimes it is published every three days, sometimes it is published once a week. The longest interval is actually 13 days before it is published!
Everything is not on track, everything is still being explored, and the people in the capital have not developed the habit of buying newspapers. Today, the Qing Times is only sold to the families of officials and scholars!
Ordinary people don't have the spare money to buy newsprint. In order to expand its influence, the Qing Times still retains the rule of publishing posts. Whenever it is published, as long as the old people who spend money receive the newspaper, the newsprint will be released half a day later. Post it in a fixed area on the streets!
Most are concentrated at intersections and in the center of business districts!
Nowadays, the newspaper Fu Qingnong pays for each copy it publishes. He uses the profits of the telegraph office to subsidize the distribution of the newspaper. But as the mouthpiece of the imperial court, in order to promote the emperor's national policy, they will lose money even if they lose money. Gotta do it to the end!
According to Fu Qing's expectations, the Qing Times will stabilize to a weekly frequency in half a year, and will be revised to a three-day frequency in two years. As for the frequency of daily newspapers, there is still no plan!
In addition, Fu Qing has never thought about making a profit in the newspaper business. His ideal is to allow the newspaper to be self-financing in three to five years!
This newspaper is not for making money for the court, its purpose is to control the mouthpiece of public opinion and promote Western learning and Westernization!
For this grand ideal, Fu Qing made a special memorial to the emperor, strongly requesting that the court allow him to appoint two editors-in-chief, one was Luo Hao, Luo Zichang, and the other was Wenxiu and Wen Shida!
The publication of this book has caused a stir in the government and the public. You must know that these two talents are not simple. They were the first batch of closed disciples accepted by Xiao Letian in the capital when he was writing the Journey to the West!
Luo Hao was the editor of the Imperial Academy at the time, and Wen Xiu was Zhang Jing of the Military Aircraft Department at the time. Although his official position was not high, he was still a serious official in the imperial court!
However, these two people were attracted by Xiao Letian's personal charm and the profound and detailed writings in the Journey to the West, and they officially became Xiao Letian's disciples of Western learning!
These two people have stirred up a hornet's nest. The entire imperial court regarded them as traitors, and even the officials considered them treason!
Abandoning their fame and expelling the official ranks, it took a lot of effort from the CIA to save the lives of these two people!
The two people who were expelled by the Qing Dynasty did not sink. Instead, they took the study tour funds given by Xiao Letian and traveled around the world!
They studied as independent scholars in East Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the United States, and visited most of the world in five or six years!
As Xiao Letian's status became higher and higher, the status of these two men also began to rise. In the end, the court no longer dared to shout and kill these two men. Even many royal nobles and frontier officials still Secretly entertaining these two guests is treating them like Xiao Letian's brokers!
Fu Qing is the two recommended, Luo Hao is proficient in Western politics, and Wen Xiu is proficient in economics, and both of them are also involved in culture, military, art, astronomy and geography!
One of the two is in charge of the political section, the other is in charge of the economy, and the rest of the categories can be handled by their subordinates. This basically sets the main tone of the Qing Times!
This is a serious political and economic newspaper. These serious news occupy 70% of the page, and the remaining 30% is military, technology, culture, art, etc.!
The deep intentions of Zai Chun and Fu Qing can be seen from this!
Tongzhi Dili decided against all the opinions and decided on Luo Hao and Wen Xiu as the two chief editors of Qing Times. They will lead an editorial team of more than 20 people!
The newspaper office, printing factory, and typesetting workshop are all set up in Nancheng, which is the end of the Longxugou commercial belt that Xiao Letian ordered to renovate and develop, and is already close to the city wall of Yongding Gate!
The prices here are cheap and the population is sparse. There are large vegetable fields outside the newspaper office and the Weizi Pond that emerges from Longxugou. It is very quiet. Even if the steam printing machine is turned on, it will not disturb the residents!
Zai Chun and Fu Qing gave these two people absolute trust. It could be said that they wanted people and money, and even allowed them to keep losing money. The only purpose was to run this newspaper!
But he never expected that today these two people actually betrayed the trust of the emperor and the prime minister. A shocking newspaper came out, which shocked Zaichun to the point where he was spinning and his eyes were black!
The front page of the newsprint smelled of ink, with a line of large characters that smelled of blood!
"If the Chinese traitor is not eliminated, the country will not be at peace! Please the imperial court to quickly kill the Western Demon Xiao Letian to calm the people of the world!"
Under the headlines were one accusation after another. This newspaper could be regarded as putting all the blame for the Qing Dynasty on Xiao Letian!
The mastermind behind the attack on the Yulin New Army on both sides of the Qinghe River was Xiao Letian's Northern Bureau!
The airship incident was an armed invasion of the Qing Dynasty by the Chinese. This was a declaration of war!
The economic invasion of the half-armed Chinese in the south of the Yangtze River has caused the de facto disintegration of the country!
The Northern Industrial Zone is an irrefutable proof of Chinese tyrannical occupation!
The land of the Far East Kingdom is the inherent territory of the Qing Dynasty. The so-called Far East Kingdom ruled by Xiang Shaolong is completely illegal!
One by one, the charges were even written about the vassal states where the Chinese invaded the Qing Dynasty. From Japan to Korea to Annan and Ryukyu, they all belong to the Qing Dynasty, all of them belong to the Qing Dynasty!
What Xiao Letian illegally occupied were all legal vassal states of the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that it was an outrage!
Not to mention that Zai Chun was about to faint, even Xiao Letian's mortal enemy Weng Tonghe couldn't bear to read such a newspaper that openly cursed the streets. Everyone understood that this was a clear intention to force the Qing Dynasty and the Chinese to go to war!
Is Fu Qing crazy?
Ying Gui's hands trembled, "Pinch Renzhong quickly, pinch Renzhong quickly... This can't be Fu Qing's handiwork. How could he say these things?"
"It must have been done by someone down there!"
Weng Tonghe stamped his feet anxiously, "How could I not know! Some people have made it clear that they want to frame the blame, but the people don't understand! They will naively think that it is all true!"
"Those Eight Banners idle men, all fearing that the world will not be in chaos, attacked the Chinese offices in waves last night, and even took out bombs. This is already very distressing!"
"Who would have thought that the newsprint would cause trouble! Why couldn't we control it..."
Zai Chun slowly opened his eyes, "Hurry up and send someone... to collect all the newspapers and destroy them... Take me to see the master, take me to the Dongdan Archway... Hurry!"
