"Cui Shangshu, is this your opinion?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Cui Liang's words, he immediately turned around and asked.
Cui Liang raised his head and chest, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I believe that the current people's newspaper has lost its original meaning."
Of course Cui Liang is afraid of death, but now he is not the only one who opposes it, but a group of scholars.
In today's Ming Dynasty, ordinary people have no say.
Unless Zhu Yuanzhang wants to go against the scholars in the world, otherwise, he will be fine.
"Shan Chang, what do you think?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Li Shanchang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little caught off guard by the scholar's opposition, and now his Minister of Rites expressed his attitude directly.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the resistance in this matter was somewhat different from what he had imagined before.
"Reporting to your majesty, the matter of public reporting is beneficial to the country and the people, but the actual content has always been in charge of Cui Shangshu, and I dare not speak nonsense."
Li Shan said a few words and knocked back Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
How to resolve the conflict between scholars and common people?
The essence of the matter is actually very clear.
The content of the people's newspapers has changed from high-level to low-level, that is, from high-level people to low-level people.
The contradiction is that the scholars hope that the people's newspaper will be high-ranking and high-ranking, but the common people do not appreciate high-ranking and high-ranking people, and only like the lower-level people.
Li Shanchang did not want to get involved in such a contradiction.
No matter which side you're on, it's not good.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't get the answer from Li Shanchang, and looked a little ugly.
"Your Majesty, if this continues for a long time, this people's newspaper will become something to entertain the public. Can it still play the role expected before? The people take pleasure in it, and the majesty of the Ming Dynasty will no longer exist."
Cui Liang continued to speak to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Cui Liang really couldn't stand the people's newspapers that were improved according to Su Jing's method.
When the officials of the Ministry of Rites were writing the content, they also forcibly endured it.
"I understand, it's not urgent. Let's take a look."
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.
There is no consent and no rejection.
"Your Majesty, what about the next issue of the People's Daily?"
Cui Liang pressed forward step by step, and it was inevitable that Zhu Yuanzhang would make a statement.
"Cui Shangshu! It's still early for the next issue of People's Daily. I told you there is no rush."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked grim and said directly.
Apparently, he was on fire.
He was already giving in, but Cui Liang was still forcing himself. He really took himself seriously!
At this time, Li Shanchang also glanced at Cui Liang, indicating that he would stop as soon as he was ready.
Good guy, you are not so tough just now.
Even if you are on the side of the scholars in the world, do you have to consider the face of His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang?
"I know."
Cui Liang lowered his head and cupped his hands, not daring to say more.
He really didn't expect that after reaching this point, Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't change his tune.
Isn’t the voice of the world’s scholars loud enough?
Your Majesty can't go against the scholars in the world.
"Okay, you all, please go down."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and turned away directly, with a sad look on his face. He didn't want to see Cui Liang at all.
"Yes, Your Majesty." X2
Li Shanchang and Cui Liang immediately turned and left without lingering at all.
As soon as he left the Fengxian Hall, Li Shanchang said to Cui Liang: "Master Cui, you are a little too hasty today. Can't you understand His Majesty's thoughts?"
Cui Liang looked at Li Shanchang. Even though he was tough today, he was also a smart person.
"Prime Minister, you mean that the reason why His Majesty did not change his words is actually..."
"Hey, stop it, I didn't say who it was."
Cui Liang was about to say something, but Li Shanchang immediately stopped him.
He left Cui Liang with a meaningful smile, and then left quickly.
Cui Liang looked at Li Shanchang's leaving figure and felt that the matter of public reporting was getting more and more complicated.
At this time, in Fengxian Hall, a figure slowly walked over.
"I told you not to come again, don't you understand?"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even turn around and said angrily.
"Chongpachi, what makes you so angry? Tell me, maybe I can do something about it?"
Queen Ma's voice sounded.
Zhu Yuanzhang quickly turned around and said sheepishly: "Sister, it's you. I was really angry just now, not you."
Queen Ma is not someone else. No matter how angry you are, you can't face her.
"I know. I just saw Mr. Han Guo and Cui Shangshu leaving. What did they do to make you so angry?"
Queen Ma asked with a smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "What else can it be, just repay the people."
"People's Daily?"
Empress Ma was stunned for a moment, then said: "With regard to the people's newspaper, didn't you ask Mr. Su how to improve it, Chongba? Why did it happen again?"
Zhu Yuanzhang patiently explained the current problem to Queen Ma.
"In other words, the scholars in the world like the previous people's newspapers, but the people like the current people's newspapers, right?"
Queen Ma summed it up.
"Yes, yes, sister, you are right, this is the situation."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly.
Empress Ma smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? Just make two copies, one for the scholars and one for the common people. Just take care of both."
"One is called the people's newspaper, and the other is called the book and newspaper. If something important happens, it is written in the people's newspaper, book and newspaper, which can highlight its importance."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who originally didn't take Empress Ma's plan to heart, now changed his expression.
Just because the method Queen Ma said is really good.
"Hey, sister, what you said really makes sense. Tell us, how did you come up with this method?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Queen Ma and asked curiously.
People's newspapers, book newspapers.
This simply poked Zhu Yuanzhang in the heart.
Empress Ma said with a smile: "Why, do you think I, a woman, can't come up with such a good idea?"
"No no!"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "My sister is not an ordinary woman. This method is really good. Now those scholars will have nothing to say!"
Regarding the role of people's newspapers, Zhu Yuanzhang always thought of taking root among the people.
Because the common people can receive very little information, there is no need for scholars.
But scholars have the right to speak, and it is ultimately up to scholars to govern the Ming Dynasty.
If Cui Liang was so tough today, Zhu Yuanzhang would just get angry and not really punish him. This is the reason.
"Actually, you think too much, Chongbachi. It's not like you can't have your cake and eat it too."
Queen Ma said with a smile.
She really didn't find this matter complicated.
"Sister, I'm going to make a plan right now and notify Li Shanchang and Cui Liang right away. It just so happens that Shanchang is this guy. He's cunning and just doesn't want to express his stance. Now let's see what he does!"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately walked to his desk and started writing notes.
Of course, his message was not a memorial, but a decree.
"It's a pity. I'm afraid the Minbao won't be able to sell much from now on."
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.
In the past, the main buyers of public newspapers were basically readers.
Now that books and newspapers have been diverted, and most people mainly engage in prostitution for free, it seems inevitable that the sales of civilian newspapers will decline.
"Chongpachi, this is not certain."
Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "If you ask me, it won't make much difference whether the Minbao should be sold for a certain amount or not."
"Um?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Sister, what do you mean by this?"
He doesn't understand, he really doesn't understand very well.
Queen Ma said: "Because it was Mr. Su who came up with the Minbao. I think Mr. Su must know the way I thought of it, but you didn't ask at the time."
"Since it was Mr. Su who came up with it, it will definitely not have any big impact. Chongba, don't forget, Mr. Su's greatest skill is doing business!"
Su Jing is a businessman!
He is also a quite successful businessman.
How could the sales of something he came up with that could be sold be poor?
Queen Ma was extremely trusting.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little unlikely when he listened to Queen Ma's words.
"Sister, I really can't say this. Su Jing is great at business, but these scholars are really annoying."
Zhu Yuanzhang complained, thinking again of Cui Liang, who was tough with him.
Queen Ma smiled and said, "Then let's see who is right."
It can only be said that Su Jing is not here, otherwise he would definitely laugh and tell Zhu Yuanzhang: Vulgar things have a wide audience, even scholars.
…
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Not long after Li Shanchang came back, Hu Weiyong came over.
"Wei Yong, in front of His Majesty today, Cui Shangshu and Your Majesty are really competing with each other!"
Li Shanchang said to Hu Weiyong.
Hu Weiyong lowered his head and said: "It must be a matter of the people's newspaper. Cui Shangshu is well known for his conduct, so it is not surprising that he was demoted."
Li Shanchang glanced at Hu Weiyong and nodded: "Yes, although His Majesty was angry today, he did not punish Cui Shangshu. In the end, Cui Shangshu still stood on the side of the world's scholars. Even His Majesty, it is not easy to fall out."
"But Cui Shangshu's move will definitely sow trouble in His Majesty's heart. If I think about it, the Prime Minister will definitely not do such a thing."
Hu Weiyong immediately analyzed it and did not forget to flatter Li Shanchang.
Li Shanchang said: "You can see clearly, then let me ask you, although His Majesty was forced by Cui Shangshu today, he never expressed his position. Why?"
Hu Weiyong thought for a while and replied: "Because His Majesty does not want to give in."
"Well, why doesn't Your Majesty want to give in?"
Li Shanchang asked again.
Hu Weiyong hesitated. He didn't quite understand Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.
"Please give me some advice, Prime Minister."
Hu Weiyong humbly asked Li Shanchang for advice.
Li Shanchang smiled and said, "Weiyong, have you forgotten His Majesty's origins?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's origin was a common man!
A bowl in the opening game directly conquered the great power of Mingnuo.
With such great achievements, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally very satisfied with himself.
But he would not hope for a second version of himself to appear. The Ming Dynasty should be permanent.
People need good guidance.
In this case, the people's newspaper is very critical.
Li Shanchang just made a few hints, and Hu Weiyong immediately understood.
He immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for clarifying my confusion."
Li Shanchang touched his beard and said calmly: "It's a pity that the current development of the situation is difficult for even His Majesty to handle."
Zhu Yuanzhang's concession today is the greatest proof.
Hu Weiyong didn't speak, just thinking silently.
at this time.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
A loud summons sounded, startling both Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong.
Li Shanchang immediately went out to receive the order.
Soon, Li Shanchang finished reciting the imperial edict and took it.
His expression was different from before.
"I didn't expect that it could still be like this, but I made a miscalculation."
Li Shanchang looked bitter when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict.
Just because Zhu Yuanzhang proposed the concept of people's newspapers and book newspapers, Cui Liang was handed over to Cui Liang to do it, because he had argued for this before.
As for the people's newspaper, it was left to Li Shanchang.
If you can avoid doing it, that would be the best.
But if he had to choose, Li Shanchang would definitely choose books and newspapers.
It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang adopted a direct designation method and did not give Li Shanchang the right to choose at all.
"Congratulations, Prime Minister!"
Hu Weiyong came over and congratulated Li Shanchang directly.
Li Shanchang shook his head and said: "Weiyong, this is not a good job. I'm afraid I will get some notoriety."
As the left prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, he did such a despicable act of retribution to the people.
The reputation among scholars is much worse.
Unlike Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang valued him more, and he was obviously a scholar.
"Prime Minister, having said that, your Majesty can leave this matter to the Prime Minister. Isn't it a sign of great love for the Prime Minister?"
As soon as Hu Weiyong said this, Li Shanchang felt better.
"Indeed, but it's just mediocre. My affairs are complicated, so I'm afraid I need more help from you on this matter."
Li Shanchang said to Hu Weiyong.
The seemingly casual words conceal Li Shanchang's temptation to Hu Weiyong.
"Prime Minister, don't worry, Weiyong will do his best."
Hu Weiyong immediately agreed without any hesitation.
the other side.
Ministry of Rites.
Cui Liang also received the imperial edict.
The concept of civilian newspapers and book newspapers surprised him.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to let him control the content of books and newspapers, and he was still very happy.
Although inferior public newspapers still exist, at least they are diverted.
The tallest things are the best.
How can scholars read those inferior things?
"Shi Lang!"
Cui Liang shouted.
Shijiabao then appeared in front of Cui Liang and said respectfully: "Cui Shangshu, why are you calling me?"
Cui Liang said: "The next issue of Minbao will be written by you."
"ah?"
Shijiabao's face changed and he said very ugly: "Cui Shangshu, is this..."
Writing that kind of soft advertisement and UC shocking body is really a bit of torture for Shijiabao.
Although it can slightly increase the frequency of Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, Sijia Bao does not want to appear in Zhu Yuanzhang's sight recently.
The Jindan incident hasn’t passed long yet.
Cui Liang glanced at Shijiabao and then said: "By the way, I forgot to mention that starting from today, the People's Daily will be renamed as a Book Newspaper, and the content will return to its previous appearance. Are there any problems?"
"I understand, I will take care of it now."
Shijiabao nodded immediately without hesitation.
