With the addition of Hu Weiyong, the implementation of the People's Daily has been significantly accelerated.
People's Daily has become a reading material that almost everyone has a copy of.
Popularization among common people is not that easy.
At the end of the day, you still have to pay.
What the people's newspapers write about are all national affairs. Ordinary people don't care about these. The most important thing is that they have enough to eat and clothing to wear.
This situation made Hu Weiyong very anxious.
He personally asked for this job in front of Li Shanchang, but he encountered resistance at the beginning, which was not a good thing.
At the same time, inside Fengxian Hall.
In front of Zhu Yuanzhang's case, the latest issue of the People's Daily was placed.
Since this thing is about writing about national events, it must be for Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose.
"It's really good. Su Jing's idea is indeed wonderful!"
Zhu Yuanzhang burst out laughing.
To understand the major national events, it is enough to buy a public newspaper. This is the major national event that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted the world to know about.
The right to speak is completely in your own hands, which is really wonderful!
Zhu Yuanzhang had a strong desire for power, and this civilian newspaper fit his needs perfectly.
"What's the matter, so happy?"
Queen Ma walked slowly with a coat in her hand and asked Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Sister, come and see, how is this public report?"
To share the joy, Queen Ma is always the best choice.
"Put on your coat first. Winter is coming soon. I really don't know how to add any clothes."
Queen Ma babbled, and first put the coat in her hand on Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang also stood up very cooperatively, and said with a smile: "Isn't there a girl like you? You can take care of all these things."
Zhu Yuanzhang's flattery can only be enjoyed by Queen Ma.
"Chongpachi, you are the oldest person in the world."
Queen Ma said with a smile while scolding.
These two couples, even if they put aside their status as emperors and empresses, are absolutely model loving couples.
"hey-hey."
Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy when he heard Empress Ma's scolding. He excitedly handed the people's newspaper to Empress Ma: "Sister, take a look."
"Okay, let me take a look."
Ma Huanhou took the newspaper and glanced at it.
"Chongba, what is this?"
Queen Ma asked in surprise. She looked at this civilian newspaper with great curiosity.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and explained: "This is called people's newspaper. It is Su Jing's idea and Biao'er's strong support. Now I, Yingtian, have tried it, and now I have achieved some results."
People's Daily?
Empress Ma was still a little confused, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't waste any more nonsense and immediately took out Zhu Biao's reply.
Queen Ma read it carefully and exclaimed: "Mr. Su really has a fantastic idea. This newspaper is really interesting."
"If it can be implemented, the people of Ming Dynasty can hear the voice of the imperial court. It will be a great good thing!"
After just reading it once, Empress Ma understood the role of the people's newspaper.
If she were not a woman, Queen Ma would definitely have a place in the Ming Dynasty.
"Yeah, sometimes I really wonder what is in Su Jing's head, why are there only these fantastic ideas."
Zhu Yuanzhang took the people's newspaper and couldn't figure it out.
Empress Ma smiled and said: "Chongba, Mr. Su is an immortal in the sky. Can't you understand that's not normal? As long as he can always benefit the Ming Dynasty, that's a good thing!"
"Repay the Immortal? The Immortal wouldn't be able to make fake elixirs."
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.
Even though he didn't show it in front of others, he was still very concerned about Su Jing's refining of the elixir.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about the golden elixir made by others, but he still cared about the one made by Su Jing.
It would be great if you could live forever after eating it!
Unexpectedly, it was just a "scam".
The reason why Shijiabao was criticized has something to do with Su Jing.
"Chongba, this is your fault. Mr. Su clearly said that the golden elixir is useless. You have your own small thoughts, why should you blame others?"
Empress Ma put her hands on her hips and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, with a hint of anger on her face.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang quite jealous.
"Sister, can you get angry because of Su Jing and me now?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said a little aggrievedly.
If it was because of the child, Zhu Yuanzhang would be able to accept it.
But now it’s Su Jing!
"I said Chongba, when did you become so petty-minded? Don't I respect Mr. Su? You wronged others and you are still aggrieved?"
Empress Ma didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She really had no way to deal with Zhu Yuanzhang.
When there were no other people around, who would have thought that Zhu Yuanzhang, who was decisive in killing, would still have this side?
"Then what I said is true. This kid Su Jing spends all day tinkering with inexplicable things. If he has this kind of skill, he might as well get me more weapons like Wolf Xian."
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.
The Ming Dynasty used many troops and fought many wars.
Things that can enhance combat power are extremely good things for Zhu Yuanzhang.
Whether it was the telescope or the wolf constitution, Zhu Yuanzhang applauded it.
"Okay, Mr. Su has a lot to do, so don't force me."
Queen Ma said: "It's almost winter again, and there's going to be some snow."
winter!
In ancient times, this season was always a difficult time for most poor people.
Heat has become a necessity for everyone. In addition to eating, they must also prepare enough heat sources, buildings and clothing to keep out the cold.
Don't look at these things, they are already very common for modern people.
For the people of the Ming Dynasty, many were already in shortage.
The fact that someone was frozen to death on the road is realistic, not exaggerated.
"Yeah, winter is coming."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, his expression a little solemn.
He knew the feeling of not being able to wear warm clothes.
At this time, he remembered Su Jing's Su's Cloth Company. Considering that the poor people were short of money, they sold some cloth at cost.
Businessmen like Su Jing are much better than those guys who donate money to charity.
Su Jing is a consistent and long-term supplier, while those who donate money to charity are just trying to gain fame occasionally.
…
Sincerity House.
Liu Bowen also had an additional civilian newspaper in his hands.
Under such large-scale publicity, it is normal for Liu Bowen to have it in his hands.
Looking at the content in the civilian newspaper, Liu Bowen's expression changed slightly.
These are all national affairs.
"Where did you buy it?"
Liu Bowen asked the steward who brought the people's newspaper.
The housekeeper immediately replied: "To tell you what, sir, I went shopping today. Just outside the west market, someone was selling it, saying it was a people's newspaper, a newspaper specially for the people to read, so I bought a copy."
"how much is it?"
Liu Bowen asked again.
The butler replied: "It's quite cheap, five cents a piece."
"By the way, I heard that you can buy it in many places in this city. There are more than one selling it, and the business is quite booming."
Liu Bowen looked at the people's newspaper in his hand, which was actually just a piece of paper.
Thanks to the fact that they are all ancient texts, although there is a lot of information, they actually don’t take up much space.
Five cents a piece is not expensive for people in this capital city.
The content made Liu Bowen very curious.
What is written above are all the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty, but the way of narration is all about praising the goodness of the Ming Dynasty.
To put it simply, it’s all kinds of flattery.
Combined with the steward's remarks, Liu Bowen immediately deduced that this was something Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in agreement.
Even if they are all exaggerated, without Zhu Yuanzhang's permission, it is impossible for something like this to control speech in Yingtian Mansion.
The People's Daily looks like just a piece of paper filled with the words "National Master of the Ming Dynasty", but it can effectively control the direction of the entire Ming Dynasty's speech.
There are many things that people really don’t know unless they are told.
In other words, it is also a science.
"The person who can think of this people's newspaper must be a person of great talent!"
Liu Bowen said with emotion.
As Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Zifang knew the power of speech.
When the two armies are fighting, spreading rumors is a common tactic.
The People's Daily has turned this approach into a daily routine.
As long as we continue to implement it unremittingly, the image of Ming Dynasty will continue to improve in the hearts of the people.
Of course, we have to make people's lives better.
Words and reality must go hand in hand.
The steward said from the side: "Sir, I don't think this public report is of much use."
Um?
Liu Bowen looked at the housekeeper with a strange look on his face.
This butler has been with him for more than a year and almost two years. Although he is not very smart, he is not stupid either.
This sudden opening was certainly not groundless.
"Tell me why it's not very useful."
Liu Bowen pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked the housekeeper.
The steward said: "Sir, although this public newspaper is good, it is only bought by scholars. Five pennies is not much, but ordinary people rarely visit it. If you want to know what is going on, it is better to go directly to the city gate and read the notice."
The butler's idea is simple and simple, but it is not unreasonable.
Liu Bowen nodded and said, "Yes, things that cost money are still too luxurious for ordinary people."
"But have you ever thought about whether those scholars will discuss it after reading it?"
"Although people didn't spend any money, they could still hear it. That's enough."
"As for the notice at the city gate, it is not suitable to post the contents of the public newspaper."
Words are one way to disseminate information, and word of mouth is also another way.
Liu Bowen was thinking quite deeply.
"What the master said is true, but this is only within the capital. It disappears after leaving the capital. I don't understand why we want to do this."
The butler bowed slightly and said.
Liu Bowen smiled and said: "How do you know that this people's newspaper will only be limited to the capital?"
As soon as these words came out, the housekeeper was obviously stunned.
"Sir, once we leave the capital, even if it's a military report, it has to be delivered very quickly. A civilian report like this can't do the same thing."
The butler said with a look of disbelief.
Liu Bowen just smiled and said: "Just a civilian newspaper, you are reading too little, just wait."
No matter how many explanations there are, it is better to look at the final result.
The butler nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Liu Bowen continued to read the People's Daily, trying to read some information from it.
There is quite a lot of information contained in this thing.
Liu Bowen didn't even have to think about it. Zhu Yuanzhang must have read the Minbao before sending it out.
The message that could only be sent with Zhu Yuanzhang's consent represented an attitude in itself.
"Master, Song Chengzhi has arrived."
At this time, the butler's voice sounded.
Song Lian is here!
Hearing this voice, Liu Bowen immediately put down the people's newspaper in his hand, took off his glasses, and stood up to greet him.
"Bowen, I'm sorry for disturbing you."
Song Lian walked over quickly with a smile on his face.
Liu Bowen immediately said: "No one comes to my house all year round. I am very happy that you can come."
Since resigning, Liu Bowen's door has been really deserted.
Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards Liu Bowen was directly reflected in the attitude of the court officials towards Liu Bowen.
But Song Lian is an exception.
He is a pure man of letters, and he remains so even though he is now a member of the Hanlin Academy.
"Haha, since you said so, Bowen, I have to stay for dinner today."
Song Lian laughed.
Liu Bowen immediately said: "Definitely!"
While speaking, Liu Bowen winked at the butler. The butler understood and immediately went to prepare for the dinner.
"Jing Lian, why did you come to see me?"
Liu Bowen asked Song Lian.
Song Lian looked at Liu Bowen and said, "Bowen, what you said means that I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?"
Liu Bowen smiled and shook his head: "Jing Lian, it's not easy to lie to me."
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Liu Bowen!"
Song Lian nodded and said: "Your Majesty ordered me to compile the "Ancestors' Instructions". I am really not sure about some parts, so I came here to ask for advice."
The matter of "Ancestor's Instructions" is also an important matter of the Hanlin Academy.
"There is something wrong somewhere, let me take a look."
Liu Bowen didn't shirk and said directly.
"Then I'll thank Bowen first."
As Song Lian spoke, he took out a manuscript from his arms and handed it to Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen took the manuscript and picked up the glasses at hand and put them on.
This made Song Lian on the side confused.
Just now he saw Liu Bowen's glasses on the table, but he didn't know how to use them.
Now seeing Liu Bowen wearing it directly in front of his eyes, he couldn't help but curious: "Bowen, what are you wearing?"
Liu Bowen smiled and said: "These are called glasses. They were given to me by Mr. Su. They help me see more clearly. They are very useful."
Glasses!
Su Jing!
See clearly!
These three key pieces of information were instantly added by Song Lian.
"Glasses? Is there such a magical thing? I can't see clearly. I wonder if I can use them?"
Song Lian asked Liu Bowen.
The problem of blurry vision is a common problem among most scholars, especially older ones.
Regardless of whether it is myopia or presbyopia, one cannot see clearly.
Liu Bowen shook his head and said: "You really can't use my glasses. You have to find Mr. Su to find the matching lenses himself, so that he can make glasses that suit you."
Liu Bowen's explanation made Song Lian even more curious.
The glasses can only be obtained from Su Jing, they must be good things!
But he also knew that the current Su Jing was not someone he could see if he wanted to.
I can only envy these glasses.
