"In addition to preaching the court's policies and publishing the court's regulations, the most important thing for newspapers and periodicals is to control public opinion. To this end, reporters must be set up to conduct interviews and reports."
Zhu Yunzhen's words made Yao Guangxiao stunned again.
reporter?
What is that?
"When newspapers talk about something, they usually have two angles. One is to directly reason and explain the situation, but this is very boring."
"The second one is to tell a little story."
"For example, have you heard the story of the Twenty-Four Filial Piety?"
Yao Guangxiao was slightly confused, then thought for a while and said, "Is what His Highness the Grand Sun is talking about the "Selected Poems of Quanxiang's Twenty-Four Filial Piety" compiled by Guo Shouzheng?"
Zhu Yunzhen was also startled.
Only then did he react.
The story of the Twenty-Four Filial Piety was probably written during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties.
Is it roughly the Yuan Dynasty?
But even before the Ming Dynasty, because the information transmission in this era was very slow, it may take decades or even hundreds of years for a book to be widely disseminated.
Therefore, I am afraid that in this era, the story of the Twenty-four Filial Piety is not particularly well-known.
That is to say, Yao Guangxiao has read many books before.
He felt secretly sweating in his heart.
I also blame myself for being like this in my previous life because I was fond of reading and didn't seek to understand things thoroughly. I didn't remember the era of those authors at all.
Fortunately, Yao Guangxiao also knew that it was during the Yuan Dynasty that the Twenty-Four Filial Piety was written.
If the book was written in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, if he brought it up now, it would be a joke.
With this thought in his mind, his face was very serious and did not show any signs of it.
When it fell into Yao Guangxiao's eyes, he was immediately amazed.
His Highness Taisun is only seven years old. How come he not only knows about Luo Guanzhong, but also has read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and even knows Guo Shouzheng's twenty-four filial piety so clearly?
Even if you start reading from your mother's womb, you can't, right?
It can only be said that the grandson was indeed born as a heavenly being, beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Exactly!" Zhu Yunzhen covered up his embarrassment very well and said: "Although I don't agree with many stories in Twenty-Four Filial Piety, and many of them are fabricated, this kind of story form is the most popular among the people."
"We need to send reporters to interview ordinary people, dig out people and stories in daily life, and report on them."
"Public recognition of outstanding individuals."
"Severe criticism of sin."
"The local government's various inactions and bullying of the people were made public in the press, creating strong pressure from public opinion."
When Yao Guangxiao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, he slapped his thigh and said, "What a great idea! What a great idea!"
"Reporters, those who record and collect folk affairs."
"In this way, if people encounter injustice, they can also find reporters to report it. Compared with going to the government to file a lawsuit, it is much more convenient."
But as soon as he said these words, Zhu Yunzhen shook his head repeatedly.
"No."
"Journalists can only report things and cannot replace judicial trials."
"However, for cases of oppression and deliberate inaction, it can be exposed."
"But there is one thing we must pay attention to."
"The purpose of reporting is to guide social trends, criticize darkness, promote good and punish evil."
"The content reported must be strictly controlled and attention should be paid to the direction of public opinion."
"We must not allow those clean-blooded civil servants and wealthy families to insert people into them to confuse right and wrong."
"You must be careful about this."
"Newspapers and periodicals must strictly control the content of their reports."
If he wants to use newspapers and periodicals as his own tool of public opinion, he must prevent those who are innocent from getting involved.
The pen is very important, and it is no less important than military power.
It can be said that whoever controls public opinion will control the development direction of this society.
He wanted to push Ming Dynasty into a new era and let the people accept new ideas and new technologies. Publicity and publicity were an indispensable part.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty Taisun, I will definitely run the newspaper well."
After hearing what Zhu Yunxuan said, Yao Guangxiao already had a lot of ideas in his mind and wanted to do it right away.
The two discussed it some more and finally finalized it.
Next, it’s time to put it into writing.
It will take a certain amount of time to recruit reporters and conduct interviews and reports.
It was decided to recruit and publish newspapers and periodicals at the same time.
Anyway, there is a lot of material to report in the early stage. Even if there are no reporters to interview and collect information, there is no need to worry about the content.
For example, the story of Zhu Yunxuan can be reported a lot.
It just so happens that we can continue to build momentum for "creating gods".
There is also a new army, the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau, which also needs publicity.
In particular, the Bureau of Technology Research and Manufacturing needs to constantly build momentum as to what kind of research it has done and how useful it is to society.
Let the idea of pursuing scientific and technological progress slowly penetrate into the world and penetrate into the entire society.
As a result, Ming Dynasty will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes.
"What do you think about Ouyang Lun's incident?"
After dealing with the newspaper matter, Zhu Yunzhen asked about it.
He always felt that there was something wrong with his thinking.
In terms of intelligence alone, Yao Guangxiao should be far superior to him.
All he has is hundreds of years of experience and a prophetic grasp of historical context and major events.
Speaking of Ouyang Lun's matter, Zhu Yunxuan also told all the information obtained by Xu Miaojin following Zhu Yunwen.
After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao thought for a long time and then said: "Your Majesty lives in Yangshan, not in Jinling City."
"If the Japanese pirates wanted to attack Your Majesty, why didn't they go from the countryside instead of passing through Jinling City?"
"The city is heavily patrolled. If this happens, wouldn't the risk be greatly increased?"
If the Japanese pirates did not intend to enter Jinling City, there was no need to hide on Ouyang Lun's cargo ship.
There is no need to go to the dock next to Jinling City. You can get off the boat somewhere else and then quietly go to Yangshan.
"Are they just trying to divert trouble to others and put the blame on Gu Gu?"
Zhu Yunzhen had already thought about this problem and blurted it out.
"Otherwise." Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said, "You are now the supervisor of the country. You govern the country and the entire Ming Dynasty must obey your orders."
"To let a few Japanese pirates enter the country and go to Yangshan, do they have to pass through Jinling City?"
Zhu Yunzhen was startled for a moment, it seemed that this was really the case.
Although he is in Jinling City, his power is more than that.
If the other party wants to put the blame on him, it doesn't necessarily mean introducing Japanese pirates into Jinling City.
On the contrary, it seems a bit superfluous.
At the thought of this, Zhu Yunzhen's expression became solemn.
He hadn't thought of it before, but he only thought about it after hearing Yao Guangxiao's reminder.
"What do you mean?"
Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said: "It's hard to say. But I think this case is not as simple as it seems. Maybe, besides your second brother, there are others."
"Who could that be?"
Zhu Yunxuan asked.
"I can't tell." Yao Guangxiao said: "The key to this case is Ouyang Lun, but he is already dead, so we can only find it from Princess Anqing."
"The second is Chang Mao."
"Let's see if Jiang Wei can find any clues. If not, we can only start with these two people."
Zhu Yunzhen was a little confused: "Please explain in detail."
"Any great plan depends not on cleverness but on secrets."
Yao Guangxiao said: "It's like two masters fighting each other. If it's a sword and spear competition in the ring, it's natural to see whose moves are exquisite and whose kung fu is better."
"But if one party wants to suddenly kill someone under the ring, they don't need to practice any moves. They just need to take advantage of the opponent's unprepared opportunity and stab him with a sharp knife."
"All he wants to do is conceal the fact that he has a knife on his body."
"The same goes for great things."
"The so-called exhaustive strategy is mostly false and untrue."
“The more complex the process of something, the more ingenious the design, and the more people handling it, the more variables there are.”
"The great road leads to simplicity."
"Prince Heng wants to use Japanese pirates to "assassinate" Your Majesty and then put the blame on you, but he is inconvenient to come forward in person, so he can only pretend to do it to others."
"Ouyang Lun had concerns again, so he gave Chang Mao a fake hand and then spread it to Qitai."
"In this way, the matter has passed through the hands of many people and is no longer confidential."
Zhu Yunxuan was stunned and said: "You mean, Ouyang Lun and Chang Mao, on the surface, are helping King Heng, but in fact they have other plans?"
