There is a reason for Ding Jingfu's anger. It's nothing to have a publicity department out of thin air. At most, it will just be a group of people writing articles and posting posts, and they will not be able to stir up any trouble.
But now these guys just write articles, and they openly oppose the "imperial court". And how can such articles be published openly?
The initiative of public opinion should be in the hands of the governor. No matter how bad it is, it still needs to be reviewed by myself as the chief envoy. How can I just say it is a rumor?
The chief envoy is recruiting migrant workers and preparing food, and the governor is integrating the army and preparing to fight in Shaanxi. You, a small propaganda department, dare to say that we are lying and spreading rumors?
Ding Jingfu gritted his teeth. Although the Shaanxi Dusi was not strong enough, it had inadvertently helped him. Affected by news about the war and the recruitment of migrant workers, the number of registered immigrants in various places was increasing. If the trend remains like this, fifty people will immigrate after the autumn. It may not be possible to complete.
I also secretly prayed that Wang Jingangnu could live for a few more days, hoping that the more news about southern Shaanxi, the better, but now a Jianwen newspaper has been published, openly saying that the war is a lie, if someone believes it, show your hands, and the world will be peaceful , If I don’t leave, what should I do with the rest of the immigration work!
This Hu Ming must be dealt with!
After Ding Jingfu spoke, the officials naturally did not dare to neglect them. More than a dozen people rushed directly into the Propaganda Department. Without saying a word, they arrested the three leaders, Hu Hu, Zhou Shu, and Zhou Mengjian, into the Chief Envoy's Yamen.
"Who is the author of this newspaper? Stand up!"
Hu Xi yawned. She had been busy for a long time last night, staring at the printing of five hundred newspapers. At dawn, she distributed them to the newspaper sellers. She waited restlessly for the news until they were all sold out, and then she relaxed. One breath.
The first appearance of Jianwen Newspaper did not end in a puddle, but really attracted the attention of the gentry and businessmen. Of course, there were also some gentry and common people, but they had limited education and could only "read" the newspaper with their ears.
In less than an hour, all five hundred newspapers were sold out. This result is gratifying.
Hu Xi immediately ordered people to reprint as many newspapers as they could produce before dark. Before he could sort out a few newspapers, he was caught by an official and taken to the government office.
Facing the angry-looking Ding Jingfu, Hu Hui, Zhou Shu and others were very calm and showed no fear at all.
As for the reason...
Because the Propaganda Department is now directly under the emperor's door and has not yet been specifically assigned to the cabinet and six ministries, no matter what mistakes Hu Hui and others made, Ding Jingfu has the right to scold people, but he has no right to deal with them.
So what if I'm caught? How can you lock me up?
"Which manuscript are you talking about? There are quite a few chief writers among them, as well as many officials..."
Hu Xi's words were not false.
Ding Jingfu was so angry that he threw the Jianwen Newspaper directly in front of Hu Hui and said sternly: "Of course what I'm asking about is the article "The White Lotus Rebellion in Southern Shaanxi is a false statement"!"
Hu Xi bent down and picked up the Jianwen newspaper, patted it a few times, and asked calmly: "Under each chapter of the article, the name of the main writer is recorded. Is it possible that Mr. Ding is illiterate?"
Ding Jingfu pointed at Hu Hu and shouted angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!"
There is a name at the bottom of the article, but that name is Dusi Yamen Qilianshan. Who is he?
A rough old man!
Ding Jingfu didn't know yet, but he could write his own name neatly, and his whole family was already burning incense and writing articles. He would never even think about it in this life!
Hu Xi sighed, put the Jianwen newspaper back on the table, looked directly at Ding Jingfu, and said: "Sir, everyone in the world can write an article. This article really comes from Master Qi. If you don't believe it, you can go to the capital and ask. .”
"mouth?"
Ding Jingfu was stunned.
Hu Xi nodded, who said you have to use a pen to write an article?
Qi Tongzhi used oral descriptions to discuss the situation, concisely and to the point. He only needed to filter out the curse words and turn them into prose. Wouldn't it be a first-rate policy piece?
If you don't believe me, you can ask him, he will definitely know.

admit.
It is estimated that he was burning incense for Jianwen Newspaper at this time. This was a major event to honor the ancestors. How many people had never even been in the Dibao in their lives. He actually had the opportunity to appear on the front page of Jianwen Newspaper. It was unreasonable not to pay his respects.
Ding Jingfu figured out the source of the article, but the question was not who said these words, but who spread these words!
People who talk nonsense are hateful, and those who pass on these words are even more hateful!
"Do you know how much disadvantage this matter will bring to Shanxi? Do you know that it may be because of your newspaper that the imperial court's immigration policy cannot be implemented!"
Ding Jingfu asked.
Hu Xi only asked one question before blocking Ding Jingfu's words: "Does Master Ding want to be Zhao Gao?"
Ding Jingfu's expression changed.
Zhao Gao?
Yes, that's the guy who calls a deer a horse.
Hu Hui was warning Ding Jingfu that the truth is the truth. You can't mistake a deer for a horse, pass the fake as the real, and you can't engage in some hazy philosophy like flowers are not flowers or mist is not mist. Facts are facts, and you must seek truth from facts...
Only then did Ding Jingfu feel how powerful Hu Hui was. This person looked young, but in fact he was deep and sophisticated. His heart was still a little dark, and he was ready to trick himself from time to time.
"According to the military report received by the chief envoy from Shaanxi, there is a rebellion by the White Lotus Sect in southern Shaanxi. The situation is critical! You don't know the situation on the front line, and you are talking nonsense here, which is suspected of disrupting the morale of the people and the army. I will report to the emperor and you will be dismissed and investigated!"
Ding Jingfu threatened.
Hu Xi gave a salute, and then said: "Then I would like to ask you to send a copy of the Jianwen to the capital when you submit the memorial."
Ding Jingfu's face turned green when he saw Hu Bi leaving in a swagger. He drank a few sips of tea and threw the cup. He wanted to go to Ru Yu to discuss countermeasures, but unexpectedly he was told that Ru Yu and Yang Pu had left the government office. Has not returned yet.
In the nameless teahouse in Taiyuan City, Ru Yu and Yang Pu were sitting and drinking tea. There were more than twenty people surrounding the tea table not far away. A scribe sat in the middle, played the Jianwen newspaper, and began to read: : "Wang Jingangnu is a lost dog, so there is nothing to worry about. Once the army goes south, it will be wiped out in one fell swoop... The so-called danger of overthrow, the danger of wind and rain, are all lies and no truth... The people should live and work in peace and contentment, and perform their duties..."
Ru Yu looked at Yang Pu and asked in a low voice: "You believe in Hu Hui so much. If he is wrong, how should you, the guarantor, deal with it?"
Yang Pu took a sip of tea, his eyebrows slightly curved, and said: "I don't believe in Hu Hui, but I believe a little bit..."
"oh?"
Ru Yu made a confused sound.
Yang Pu said four words calmly: "It's hard to stop a horse in a hurry."
Ru Yu lowered her head in thought, nodded and said, "That's true, but people with good riding skills can still do it."
Yang Pu looked at the people around him, shook his head and said, "They are not good at riding."
Ru Yu understood and smiled.
After the scribe finished reading, he shouted: "Shop, bring me a pot of good tea!"
If someone pays for the meal, it can't be shabby.
The shop owner smiled and agreed, but the people who were watching did not disperse. Instead, they asked the scribe: "Old Niu, is this true or false? Why does it sound wrong to me? These days, all the news is about the defeat of the Shaanxi sergeants. Suddenly Isn’t it too evil to have such an article come out?”
"Yes, the chief envoy has begun recruiting migrant workers. How could it be a lie?"
"The Taiyuan Guards sent out nearly 10,000 people, and it took half an hour for the team to leave the city. If there was no rebellion from the White Lotus Sect in southern Shaanxi, how could the Taiyuan Guards be dispatched?"
"Then this article says that there is no rebellion from the White Lotus Sect in southern Shaanxi, or that there is only a small rebellion, must it be lying to us?"
Niu Wenshi waved his hands and said seriously: "Everyone, this Jianwen Newspaper has a long history. I heard that it was founded by a new scholar appointed by the imperial court. What is it called the Propaganda Department? I don't know if it was sent by the person above. Otherwise, how dare you call it Jianwen Bao.”
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The people around were suddenly surprised and looked at each other.
In the silence, a shopkeeper who sold cloth whispered: "If the people above know that the White Lotus Sect is in chaos in Shaanxi, but they still let people publish such an article, what do they think?"
"What else can you think of? In my opinion, it is just a tactic to appease the people. Think about it, Wenxian County was lost, Lueyang was besieged, and tens of thousands of Ming soldiers abandoned their helmets and fled. There are witnesses to this. But this article is just what a colleague is saying, and there is no evidence..."
"I'm afraid that the situation has become very serious. The imperial court is afraid that the people will be panicked and flee in a hurry, so they took this step."
"If that's the case, it makes sense. The imperial court was afraid that the people in Shanxi would be in chaos and flee for their lives, so they issued a false report! The situation in southern Shaanxi must be more serious than we know. In my opinion, the Xi'an government may not be able to support it. Stay, no, I have to go back to pack up and take refuge elsewhere."
Scholar Niu frowned and quickly advised: "You have to believe the imperial court. Maybe the content of this Jianwen report is true. The White Lotus Sect in southern Shaanxi is not that serious at all, but it has been exaggerated."
"Oh, Old Niu, you are all alone and have nothing to worry about, but we still have an old man on top and a young one on the bottom, so we don't dare to delay."
"Yes, you have to leave a way for your family to survive."
Niu Wenshi sighed and said slowly: "I said that if you really want to leave Taiyuan, just a few people can walk away. But if a group of people leave, do you think the Chief Envoy Yamen can agree? Dusi can Do you agree? We are the people of Taiyuan City when we are alive, and we are also the ghosts of Taiyuan City when we are dead. We can’t leave!"
"Who says we can't leave! Isn't it just a road now?"
"What way?"
"Immigrants, the court documents are clearly written. As long as you sign the yellow book and immigrate eastward, you will not only be able to get a lot of land, but your children and grandchildren will also be able to attend the school for free. If you can take the imperial examination in the future, you may even be reused."
"Yes, immigration, this is the only way we can leave!"
"Let's go to the Chief Envoy's Yamen!"
"Let's go together!"
Niu Wenshi looked at the leaving people with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
Yang Pu put the teacup on the table, smiled softly, and said to Ru Yu, "Sir, how about this move that goes against the grain?"
Ru Rui was very satisfied.
Hu Hui’s point of view is that the birth of Jianwen Bao must follow one principle:
reality.
Only by publishing authentic news can you create an unbreakable impression.
When something happens in the future, they also know to buy a Jianwen newspaper first and see what the newspaper says instead of just hearing about it through hearsay.
Now that the people have recognized that the war in southern Shaanxi was tragic, it is really of little value to continue to publicize the extent of the war at this time. It is better to go the other way and deny it, which can ensure that the news in Jianwen Daily is true and correct, and can also make the people who have formed a certain mindset They mistakenly believed that this was the imperial court's strategy to slow down the war and that the war was in danger and would soon spread to Shanxi, so they took the initiative to immigrate.
When things are clarified in the future, the people will forget Wang Jingangnu, the chief envoy who recruited migrant workers, and what happened in southern Shaanxi, but they will never forget that Jianwen Daily is a good newspaper and the news here is true and trustworthy. .
With the truth, Jianwen News will be able to influence Shanxi on a larger scale in the future and serve the overall immigration situation.
Hu Hui participated in the court's "conspiracy", but he chose to stand on the shore instead of entering the water...
He didn't go into the water, but Zhu Yunwen jumped into the water and started to swim. In addition to backstroke, he could also do an ugly breaststroke. Fortunately, the water quality was still good and he couldn't drown.
There are many rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River. It would be too dangerous if there is no water. After all, you always need to be more prepared before going out...
