Chapter 85 Ding Xian’s road to fame
It's not that Su Boxheng is worried.
But Ding Xian's name has made him the number one figure in officialdom and among the people.
Gein, he did a big thing, that is, he exposed a big case in the newspaper. The Fujian civilian ship Dingjia went to sea, but more than a hundred people on the ship were intercepted and killed at sea. The goods taken over from the Ding family were sold at low prices on the black market.
In other words, I don’t know which noble family did it at sea.
When the local officials saw this, they couldn't afford to offend him, and the so-called Ding family were ordinary people. Speaking of which, they were violating the maritime ban. After all, the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban is now a licensing system, which generally only allows large merchants and not small merchants. But in reality, the enforcement is not that strict.
On the one hand, it is because the Daming coastline is too long. The government cannot control things in such detail. On the other hand, many large businesses also need to cooperate with local people. There are various means or places to go overseas. For example, they are a branch of a large company.
Being affiliated with this system is not something that comes later. When it comes to breaking laws and disciplines, human wisdom is infinite.
So I want to press this one thing.
There are not many such things. Not to mention the sea these days, in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, there may not be strong men who kill people and steal goods. And some people have long concluded that river bandits are far more cruel than pirates, because in river transportation, thieves who rob ships are usually nearby fishermen and villagers pretending to be fishermen and villagers. So be sure not to leave him alive. But it's different at sea. You're far away from the government and you're not afraid of exposing your identity.
Only then did he have a living mouth, and this incident also spread.
Doing business is always risky unless you are already familiar with the road. Otherwise, it is normal for something to happen. Not to mention the sea, where the Ming Dynasty could not manage the law, even a business with a good background would inevitably suffer a loss, let alone the common people going to sea.
However, Ding Xian insisted on this case and refused to let it go. It was revealed in the People's Daily.
It's not that Ding Xian wants to imitate others and become the Great Master of Qingtian. But Ding Xian smelled an opportunity. The reason why he is in his current position is to attack Kaihai. It attracted a lot of support. He naturally followed this path of success.
This case is very typical. He wants to let people in the world know the dangers of the sea and cater to a group of people's thoughts.
Of course, Ding Xian also tried to figure out Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.
Zhu Yuanzhang came from a humble background and loved the people very much. He must investigate such major and important cases. Even if there are some thoughts and calculations behind this. Zhu Yuanzhang will also let it go first.
Sure enough, as Ding Xian expected, after Zhu Yuanzhang learned about this incident, his first thing was not to deal with Ding Xian, but to send people to patrol Fujian and capture all the Fujian magistrates and prefects who knew about this incident and did nothing. Fujian's inspector general and chief minister were all implicated.
They were transferred one after another.
The case of Ding Xian turned the world upside down in Fujian. Naturally, everyone in the world was shocked and did not dare to underestimate Ding Xian.
Only Ding Xian knew that Zhu Yuanzhang valued communication between the top and bottom. He knew the harm caused by corrupt officials, and even allowed the people to take corrupt officials to the capital for punishment. This seems small. But the cases that actually affect the life-long welfare of the people are of greatest concern.
The People's Daily was originally Zhu Yuanzhang's attempt at another method of supervision.
Naturally, you have to show off your power. He wanted to let people know that any violation of laws and disciplines would be found out. Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely pursue it to the end. Compared with this new kind of supervision and intimidation, Ding's selfishness is nothing.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, Ding Xian was just a clown. In fact, he also wanted to see Ding Xian, a person standing at the forefront of the new era. What to do? Also take a look at how He Xi is going to deal with it?
This thing is of great benefit to Ding Xian.
Although it is said that the world will be peaceful tomorrow, many things are relative. There are no ghosts who died unjustly in that temple, not to mention that in this era, Zhu Yuanzhang can only control the outside of Nanjing. Even Jin Yiwei may not tell Zhu Yuanzhang all about many things outside Nanjing.
There are naturally many injustices in the world, and grievances cannot be complained.
The people didn't know what was going on, so they naturally regarded Ding Xian as their hope. All of a sudden, many people came to Ding Xian's door, begging him to redress his injustice.
Ding Xian transformed into a man who asked for orders for the people.
Of course, Ding Xian is arrogant and arrogant, but his nature is not that bad. It's just that he knows the severity after years of hard work. He will naturally speak loudly about cases that can be written lightly, or that don't interfere with high-ranking officials he can't afford to offend. As for cases that involve too many things, he can't afford to offend them. Naturally, it was covered up quietly.
Even so, Ding Xian was in the limelight, and his evaluation of the opening of the sea suddenly seemed to be extremely correct.
In Su Boheng's view, this Ding Xian was difficult to deal with.
Xie Jin thought for a moment and said: "This matter is not difficult. In fact, the internal publications of our Mingjiantang contain a lot of content. Just release it. It will be enough to build a newspaper that is better than the Minbao. Based on this, choose a newspaper For the second question, use Zi’s spear to attack Zi’s shield.”
Su Boheng said: "Where to attack?"
Jie Jin sneered and said, "He has a case, but we don't have a case? Anything can happen in the world."
A thing, explained from one angle, is a truth, and accepted from another angle, it is another truth. Xie Jin is no stranger to this matter. Ding Xian is certainly good, but Xie Jin is not afraid at all.
Jie Jin is not afraid of anyone with this kind of talk.
I'm afraid there is no one behind me to support me.
After all, if there was no one behind Ding Xian to support him, he would have been killed long ago just by looking at Ding Xian.
Xie Jin understood very well that the public opinion battlefield in Nanjing was actually an early collision between two forces. He is now nothing more than a pawn.
Xie Jin is not afraid of being a pawn. He is a pawn now, but he will not be a pawn forever.
Su Boxheng said, "I won't ask. You can decide this matter yourself. What help do you need? I'll go to the supervisor right away. Just give me a list of who you care about."
Xie Jin immediately stood up and saluted and said, "More teachers."
------
It takes time to prepare a new newspaper.
Even if Jie Jin has so many political resources, he still needs a period of preparation. But Ding Xian didn't know that his opponent was about to appear. At this moment, he was still intoxicated by the vanity brought by fame.
For a time, he became the guest of countless officials. In order to cover up the scandals they had done, some officials even sent Ding Xian large sums of money. Ding Xian seems to have really become the censor in white, and he is a very important censor. Ding Xian even took advantage of this opportunity to recruit people and brought over many of his old departments in the official newspaper. It propped up the airs of the People's Daily.
Even Ding Xian's reputation is not just among the people. It was even introduced into the palace.
On this day, Ding Xian suddenly met an unknown visitor, a eunuch. The eunuch did not say his origin or identity. He just said that on the order of his master, he invited Ding Xian to be a guest. However, the eunuch did not conceal his identity as a eunuch.
It’s already superficial.
Ding Xian naturally did not dare to refuse.
After explaining what he was doing, he followed the eunuch.
Ding Xian was sitting in the carriage and suddenly found that the direction of the carriage was very familiar. After all, he had been working in the official newspaper for many years and went to the secretary supervisor many times to report on his work. The secretary supervisor is in the palace, near Qianqing Palace. There are many places in the palace that Ding Xian has never been to. But Ding Xian knew the general layout of the palace well.
As soon as he looked at the direction, he knew that this was the direction of the East Palace.
In an instant, Ding Xian thought of a lot. He thought to himself, "Could it be that the prince summoned me?"
Thinking of this, Ding Xian sweated slightly on his forehead. This was not fear, but excitement.
It's not that Ding Xian has never seen the prince. But he only glanced at him from afar in the crowd, and he almost never spoke to the prince alone. As a scholar, he has no idea of devoting his inner strategy of governing the country to the monarch.
Ding Xian knew that it was almost impossible to dedicate it to Zhu Yuanzhang. But it is possible to dedicate it to the prince. And with the prince's appreciation, his future may not be inferior to He Xi's current status.
And He Xi is already Ding Xian's heart.
