“In the past, the propaganda model of the Propaganda Department of the Renaissance Association mainly relied on local organizations to post content on print boards in local towns. The format was actually not much different from newspapers and periodicals. However, it was limited by the level and response speed of local propaganda departments. In some places, the propaganda The effect is not very good.
For example, in the face of this public opinion crisis, the local propaganda department in Shandong was caught off guard and set the pace for the enemy. It was very difficult to deal with it, so that the people became suspicious, and it was obvious that they were not getting enough business. "
As the Prime Minister of the Renaissance Society, Tian Guizi was very dissatisfied with the work of the Propaganda Department of the Shandong Renaissance Society.
He felt that they were just messing around and didn't get the idea at all. Otherwise, the imperial court would not be so passive in Shandong, and Su Yonglin would need to personally act as a firefighter.
In this regard, most people in the nine-member group felt that Shandong's propaganda mouth needed to be rectified, but Su Yonglin expressed a certain understanding of them.
"This matter is very sensitive. Before it happened, even I couldn't predict where things would go. Most of the publicity outlets in the area had never experienced such a big battle. It was understandable that they were confused for a while. "
Su Yonglin believed that this matter had actually exceeded the capacity of the local propaganda mouth. Without the help of the central government, such as Su Yonglin's own help, the Shandong propaganda mouth would not have been able to deal with it.
Tian Guizi didn't object to Su Yonglin's views, but he was still very unhappy.
"Even so, they responded improperly, leading to confusion in public opinion. This is their dereliction of duty. There must be appropriate punishments and notifications and criticisms, otherwise it will not be enough to make propaganda outlets everywhere be more vigilant! They are also a fighting team, they are not mascots!"
What Tian Guizi said made sense, so Su Yonglin did not object to him on this matter and agreed with Tian Guizi's report on criticizing the Shandong propaganda mouth.
Sometimes it is indeed necessary to criticize some local departments. Otherwise, they will live in peace for a long time and really think that the world is peaceful.
Everything was almost ready, and Su Yonglin's itinerary was also well arranged. Su Yonglin officially went south to Shandong Province on the first day of March in the twelfth year of Hongwu.
On this tour, Su Yonglin did not bring many entourage. In addition to the Huben First Battalion following him as an escort to protect him, he only brought Su Yong and two other temporary members of the original cabinet.
The entire cabinet has now been transferred to the Ministry of Public Security, and preparatory work is being intensively carried out. It is not easy to find two people to follow Su Yonglin south to Shandong.
Su Yonglin no longer regarded himself as an emperor. It didn't matter whether there were more people or less.
There is no special treatment during the southern tour. They are treated according to the general treatment of central government officials when they go on tour. They follow the official route, stay at the inn, and eat the food at the inn. There is no specialization.
Speaking of which, Su Yonglin should also thank himself for the comprehensive rectification and improvement of the Daming Station business trip system in the past few years, which gave him a very good travel experience.
Five years before Hongwu, the post station system of Ming Dynasty was still quite shabby.
Especially in terms of food, the quality of the cooks in the inns varies greatly, which prompted officials who often go out on business to compile a "Inn Station Survival Guide", marking both the inns that cook delicious food and the inns that cook unpalatable food.
How much bitterness and tears there are here are not enough to explain to outsiders.
Su Yonglin initially felt that some officials were pretentious and could not bear the hardship, so he was very angry and reprimanded some officials.
As a result, after Xin Qiji went south to visit the Song Dynasty, he personally experienced the food quality of some famous inns and came to the conclusion that "cooks are ruining things."
So Su Yonglin believed that this might not be the officials being pretentious, but that the cooks were too inferior and were suspected of trashing things. If they were allowed to continue trashing things like this, there was no telling how much food would be wasted, which was very bad.
Later, Su Yonglin went through some rectification and introduced the military fire head system into the post system.
Before the cook at the inn takes up his post, he must be recognized by all the service staff in the inn. How good his cooking skills are, and everyone will rate them after eating. More than four-fifths of the service staff recognize his cooking skills and think he is good and will not spoil things. Then Only then can you officially take up the post and eat this bowl of public rice.
After the sixth and seventh years of Hongwu, the food level of Daming Station has been greatly improved, and it has a high degree of stability.
Officials from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industry who often traveled on business were very pleasantly surprised. Then they shed tears of happiness and tore up the post station survival manual summarized in those bitter tears.
At this time of Su Yonglin's southern tour, due to financial constraints, this was the third time that the food standards at the inn had been raised.
When officials are on a business trip, regardless of their status, there are four people at a table, four dishes, one soup, two meat and two vegetables. Meat, eggs and vegetables are standard.
As for the specific ingredients, we mainly make adjustments based on the actual local conditions. We sort out the cost of purchasing ingredients and the content of the menu that rotates every seven days, and then report it to the station management office for approval.
The management must be meticulous to this extent. From time to time, it is necessary to arrange roving spot inspection instructors to make unannounced visits to the post station to conduct inspections to minimize the possibility of petty corruption by the subordinates.
After all the measures were implemented, Daming's post system was completely improved.
In recent years, due to the development of commerce, many business travel teams will encounter the need to stay at inns while traveling. Therefore, the inn management department has made changes to allow private business travelers to stay in inns. The standard of food and accommodation is the same, but the food and accommodation expenses need to be paid by themselves. Dip your wallet.
It can be regarded as an open source project to cover the expenses of the station system that is purely financial, and it has received praise and support from Su Yonglin.
Because this move by the imperial court was very popular and coupled with the improvement of the food standard at the inn, rumors gradually spread among the people that the food quality at the Daming Station was quite good.
As for what was good about it, Su Yonglin didn't know. In the past many patrols, he was either in a hurry or went south with the army. He didn't use the station system. This time he went south to Shandong and fully experienced it.
From his personal experience, the standard of four people per table, four dishes and one soup is indeed implemented, and the process is very smooth.
As for the specific types of food, it depends on the place.
Some inns near the water have more fish, meat, shrimp and meat dishes.
For some inns that are not near water, more poultry such as pork, chicken, etc. will be raised.
At the inns near mountainous areas, you can eat mountain delicacies such as bamboo shoots, fungus, and mushrooms, as well as sheep and pheasants raised in the mountains.
At the inn near the sea, you can eat seafood, including fish, crabs and shellfish. They are very fresh and delicious.
Su Yonglin went all the way south. There were some stations near the water, some not close to the water, and some near the mountains. But there were no stations close to the sea, so he basically ate everything from flying in the sky to running in the ground and swimming in the water, except for seafood. .
For example, at Longting Station in Yanyun, several cooks were very good at cooking braised pork. They stewed a pot of braised pork. The flavor was fragrant and the meat was soft and tender. Su Yonglin was very happy to eat it.
When we arrived at Canglang Station in Hebei, several chefs were very good at cooking mutton. The large pieces of braised mutton were full of color and flavor, and it felt like they had the skill of a master chef in a big restaurant.
In Liangshan Station in southern Hebei Province, several chefs are good at cooking fish, whether it is steamed fish, braised fish cubes or fish soup, the taste is quite delicious.
When we arrived at Shengli Station in Shandong Province, the chef was good at making lion head. It was soft, tender, and full of flavor. It was very delicious. Su Yonglin took big gulps of rice and experienced the pleasure of cooking for the first time in a long time.
