After dinner, Zhang Mingwei and Zhu Yu'a were sitting around a round table in Zhang's study room. The tables are piled with information.
Zhang Mingwei looked at the classified information and said to Zhu Yuya: "From now on, we will leave the information collection to Yuanyuan."
"I already told her some things this afternoon." After hearing this, Zhu Auao immediately replied.
When Chen Yuanyuan faced Zhang Mingwei, she was obviously still a little uncomfortable and didn't dare to look at him. She just nodded after hearing the words.
When Zhang Mingwei saw it, he said to Chen Yuanyuan: "Don't underestimate this information collection. It is actually very important for the court to control the situation and for the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty."
This is definitely not a casual talk. You have to know why in the future, Xiaomi plus rifles can defeat those with American and German weapons and equipment. The intelligence problem is so serious. Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but raise her head and finally looked at Zhang Mingwei. She nodded slightly, but still With a little worry, she said: "Master, I am afraid that I will not do well and delay the master's important event!"
Women are naturally insensitive to politics. Even if they are trained to express their opinions on current affairs, like Chen Yuanyuan's, it is only to cope with the chatter of their Shilin buddies. More importantly, they play music, chess, calligraphy and painting to train them on how to please men and keep men curious about them.
At this time, Chen Yuanyuan heard that the things that Duke Xing Guo had asked her to do were all related to the Ming Dynasty Zhongxing, and they were also said to have very important meanings. This made her feel that the burden on her shoulders suddenly became very heavy.
After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei couldn't help but smile and said: "It's okay, just do as I say. I believe that with your ability, you will be able to do the job."
Encouraged by him, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but cheer up, nodded vigorously, and said "yes" seriously.
Zhu Yuyao had already told her about classifying and filtering market news and obtaining useful information, so she already knew it.
Therefore, after Zhang Mingwei briefly asked Chen Yuanyuan what she knew, he told her: "In addition to these things, you will also have another important thing in the future, which is to guide public opinion, not only the public opinion in the capital, but also the public opinion in the Ming Dynasty. , even in the future, including the public opinion of the entire world, we must control it."
Hearing this, even Zhu Yura and Fei Zhen'e couldn't help but be surprised: How to do such a big thing? Can it be done well?
As the person involved, Chen Yuanyuan was even more worried and obviously a little uneasy.
When Zhang Mingwei saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Of course, this is the goal. For now, you should influence the public opinion of the capital first. You can't be like before, when those Shanxi merchants sent some people to spread rumors and confused a lot of people. Condition."
Don't look at rumors as if they are wrong and hurt people. In fact, this invisible lethality is the most deadly.
To put it harshly, when Chen Yuanyuan rose to prominence in the past, she was very popular and she was definitely attacked by rumors, so she felt deeply about it. Hearing Zhang Mingwei's words, she quickly asked: "What should I do?"
Although she has some experience in dealing with it, now that it is a major event for the court, she is not sure at all.
Zhu Ya'ao and Fei Zhen'e had very little experience in this area. They couldn't figure out how to control public opinion in the capital, so they all stared at Zhang Mingwei and listened with perked ears.
"This matter is actually quite simple, just let the people get used to getting the news from somewhere and control the source of the news." Zhang Mingwei began to talk about something that is an old tune for future generations, " For example, running newspapers and magazines, opera and storytelling, etc.”
In fact, in the late Ming Dynasty, some people were already trying to control public opinion through these things. One of the most famous examples is that when Wen Tiren was the first assistant, in order to deal with the growing Fushe, he asked his brother Wen Yuren and Wu Bing to write the opera "The Legend of Green Peony" to expose the truth about Fushe's manipulation of the imperial examination.
"Sir, what are newspapers and magazines?" Zhu Yuyao really couldn't understand, so she asked curiously.
Of course she knew about opera and storytelling, but she didn't know what newspapers and magazines were.
Zhang Mingwei smiled after hearing this and said: "It's just Di Bao, but our content is richer than Di Bao, attracting more people to read."
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a Dibao, and there was a special agency, the General Affairs Department, to publish this Dibao. It was not until the eleventh year of Chongzhen that movable type printing was used to publish the Di newspaper, and the scale of the text was larger.
However, the Di newspapers were all about important court affairs and were given to local officials. They were obviously different from the newspapers of later generations and were more similar to internal reference.
Upon hearing this, several people present immediately understood what the newspaper was about. However, Zhu Yuluo was still very curious and asked: "Sir, if this newspaper is similar to Di Bao, can it control Youyou's mouth?"
Public opinion, public sentiment, etc., are really difficult for them to remember, but if you put it another way, it is easy for them to understand. And relatively speaking, to put it another way, they realized that it seemed to be very difficult.
In response, Zhang Mingwei smiled slightly and said: "Actually, it is not difficult to say it is difficult, and it is not easy to say it is simple."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuluo and others couldn't help but be very interested and listened attentively. Even Chen Yuanyuan forgot other things and behaved like Zhu Aao.
Zhang Mingwei did not hesitate and introduced to them: "The newspaper we want to run should have more content and include as many readers as possible, not only literate people but also illiterate people, not only men but also women, etc., all of whom should be trained to read. The habit of our newspapers. In this way, they can only listen to what we say in the newspapers. If others want to refute, they can only say it to a few people around them. The most important thing is that there is a preconceived advantage. Make it harder for those who oppose it.”
The truth is actually very simple. If you want to refute those rumors, the cost will naturally be much higher.
Hearing what Zhang Mingwei said, Chen Yuanyuan said curiously: "This is indeed a good idea, but to include so many readers, it seems... it seems a bit impossible, right?"
It was only when she was about to question Duke Xingguo's words that she suddenly remembered the identities of both parties, and immediately hesitated. But when she saw that Zhang Mingwei looked at her with no hint of displeasure, but with a little encouragement, she finally finished her words.
Zhu Yuyao didn't notice this, because she also questioned: "Yes, sir, this is easy to say, but too difficult to do, right?"
It was a bit hard for her to imagine that literate and illiterate people, men and women, could become readers of this newspaper. It was simply impossible!
But it's obvious that Zhang Mingwei is very confident about this. After all, in this era of lack of entertainment activities, it is not easy to transport some things from later generations!
He always remembered that when he was a child, there was only one TV set in the village. Every time he watched TV at night, the whole village would flock to watch it. There is only one channel, so you can watch everything.
Therefore, Zhang Mingwei said to them: "I have actually said that in addition to the major political affairs, we can add more pages to things that everyone is interested in, such as stories and the like, long series. If you want to know what happened, Let’s listen to the analysis next time, and it will attract more and more readers.”
The culture of the Ming Dynasty was also a very developed dynasty, such as "Water Margin", "Journey to the West", "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "The Plum in the Golden Vase", etc., as well as the likes of Three Words and Two Patterns, which became very popular. The master among them, Feng Menglong, is still alive and continues to create.
Therefore, Zhu Yuluo and others can also understand Zhang Mingwei's statement. But, the most important thing is, I just heard Zhu Yuluo frowning and saying: "Sir, what kind of story can make men, women and children like to listen to it?"
"Yes, sir, as far as I know, all kinds of people like to read different stories. What should we do?" Chen Yuanyuan was obviously already involved in what he wanted to do in the future, and asked after Zhu Yuyao.
This is very different from the beginning when she didn't even dare to look at Zhang Mingwei and was very careful when speaking.
When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Well, let's go and call everyone in the house, men, women, old and young. Sir, I will tell you a story today to see how everyone reacts. How do you think?"
You know, storytelling is the real profession. Don't be good at things like suppressing first and then rising, slaps in the face, justice being served, lovers finally getting married, etc.
Zhu Yuluo was relatively young. When she heard such a fun thing, she couldn't help but show a little childlike innocence, and quickly echoed: "Okay, okay, let's do it!"
After she finished speaking, she suddenly came back to her senses, and instantly regained her composure and said, "I would like to know how attractive sir's story is. This is very important for running this... newspaper in the future, right?"
Chen Yuanyuan looked at her and suddenly felt that Her Royal Highness the Princess was not so aloof. She seemed to be just as easy to talk to as Duke Xing Guo.
After reaching this conclusion, she couldn't help but feel a little happier.
At this time, many people in the mansion had already gone to bed. However, as soon as they heard that Duke Xingguo was going to tell a story, they immediately rushed to the place without saying anything.
No, it's in the front lobby. Except for those who can't leave to protect Zhang's house, everyone else is here, looking forward to it with excitement.
Duke Xingguo told a story, in this Ming Dynasty, how many people could have such a blessing?
Therefore, they all decided that no matter whether Duke Xingguo's speech was good or not, they would all cheer loudly and support him!
How could Zhang Mingwei not know what they were thinking when he saw their faces and eyes.
He didn't care about this at all. After thinking about it for a while, he chose a story and started telling it.
