The second issue of "Internal Reference" made Feng Ziying painstaking.

In just ten days, nearly 20 articles were received, including the comments, interpretations and derivative performances of the three articles in the previous three articles by the officials of the six departments, and there were also new ways to find propositions to write articles from some of the contents of these three articles.

Of course, there's a difference.

"Ziying, do you mean these articles are anonymous?" Xu Ji and Hou Sui were puzzled, "Why do they want to be anonymous?" ”

"Brother Zixun, Brother Ruogu, do you think it is appropriate for Xiao Shangshu's signed article to be written here?" Feng Ziying smiled slightly, "Our publication was originally created to represent some of the ideals and aspirations of our Jinshi in today's department, we are different from the officials who have been in the government for many years, we don't have so many constraints and baggage, so we can write things according to our own ideas and ideas, but they are different, does the article written by Lord Xiao represent himself, or the military department, or the imperial court?" The younger brother's understanding is that if you want to publish it, all those who have official status are anonymous, so they only represent personal opinions, which can also avoid unnecessary trouble caused by our publication,......"

Xu Ji hesitated for a moment, "Ziying, this dynasty can't help but speak, everyone can go to the book to speak, so anonymous is ......"

"Brother Zixun, you don't understand what I mean, the purpose of anonymity is not to say what to be afraid of, but to avoid the impression that the official uses his identity to influence others when they read it. Feng Ziying patiently explained.

"In fact, in my original intention, I don't accept the articles of these incumbent officials, that is, to collect and publish the articles of the current science and technology scholars who have not yet officially entered the office, there are not so many scruples, and they are more sharp and impactful, but we write articles, but we do not allow others to criticize and refute, which is not appropriate, and it is not clear ,...... reason, so we open our hearts and open the door to admonish

"Then Ziying, do you mean that like Guanshan Chang and Zhou Zhangyuan, they can also post on it?" Xu Ji pondered, "What about some other scholars who are not on the job? ”

"Of course you can, but we have to master a scale, the reason why we founded such a publication, its purpose is to use our Jinshi background, the experience of observing politics, and the unfettered spirit, plus our more abundant time and energy, in order to be so, if we are reduced to the opposition or incumbent officials, it will lose its meaning, so we must strive to use our Jinshi as the main in the screening, and the others as auxiliary,......"

Fang Youdu, Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng, Wang Yingxiong and others all nodded.

"The articles of Brother Jun Yu, Elder Brother Zun and Brother Wen Weak can only be anonymous." Zheng Chongjian has no regrets.

"Dazhang, anonymity is not necessarily bad, as long as the article has new ideas and highlights, dares to directly attack the disadvantages of the problem, and can come up with effective strategies, the people we send to read are the cabinet and the officials of the six ministries, how can their vision be inferior? It's just that they are in a specific position, sometimes they are in the way, sometimes they have to obey the overall situation of the court, and sometimes they have to refrain from expressing their views and attitudes because of their own environment. ”

As for how to control and guide public opinion, Feng Ziying was too familiar with it in her previous life.

In his previous life, he served as the secretary general of the municipal party committee and the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and even served as the propaganda minister for a short period of time.

Therefore, this is the first political publication of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he must firmly grasp it in his own hands.

The reason why we want to exclude even those who practice state affairs and Yang Sichang is to use the identities of Shu Jishi and Jinshi, there is no official shackles, and at the same time, everyone must quit after three years, and I can use these three years to train students who have the opportunity to pass the next subject in Qingtan Academy to prepare for the succession.

Xu Qixun, Song Shixiang, Sun Chuanting, Fu Zonglong, and Chen Qiyu are all good seedlings, and they will be able to rise to the top in three years, and they can even find some new blood in these three years, so as to ensure that this power is always in their own hands.

Feng Ziying's words made the other cadres can't help but think seriously, as if this is really the case.

"Okay, let's not get entangled, I read Fei Xiong's article about the southwest region to change the land and return to the stream, it is very innovative, but it is estimated that the imperial court will feel too radical and will not approve, but this is a direction, and in addition to mentioning the governance of local officials and the contradictions between the people and the people, I think this suggestion and reminder is very valuable,......"

Feng Ziying attaches more importance to the articles written by such students, when these articles win prestige and influence for these students, they can also win a good opportunity for them to be awarded at the end of the political observation in the future, and they can also let their influence penetrate more far.

In contrast, those officials who passively respond to articles need to be selectively treated.

"Ziying, look at Xiao Shangshu's article......"

Feng Ziying personally served as the editor-in-chief and no one objected, this publication is his idea, from the idea to the planning to the implementation, he personally operated, and the other so-called editors in charge were only pulled in at the end, and the real operation was only after seeing the huge influence brought by these articles and the publication itself, and became interested.

Feng Ziying also deliberately did not set up an associate editor-in-chief, and the others are all editors-in-charge, that is, there is no difference between Xu Jishi, Hou Xun and other Shu Jishi and Fang Youdu, Fan Jingwen and other top three jinshi, of course, the reason is also very good, the jinshi are now watching politics in various ministries, involving a wider range, and they need to contact the manuscript.

"Xiao Shangshu's article talks about some shortcomings of the Criminal Department when trying cases in the local yamen, and there are still some highlights, but in fact, we all know his original intention, it is to explain some of the criticisms and accusations in Uncle Fang's previous article, well, it can be regarded as some unresolved difficulties in the imperial court,......

The cadres sat in a hall in the west wing of the Hanlin Courtyard like this, and the two rows of chairs sat in turn, and Feng Ziying sat on the top of the table.

There was no one in the other seat above, but in Feng Ziying's words, it was reserved for Huang Shilang, although he would not come.

As a scholar and head of the Hanlin Academy, he will be responsible for supervising that the articles of this "Internal Reference" must not violate the laws and regulations of the imperial court, but he will not interfere in specific editorial affairs.

“…… For example, the time before the appointment of an official is too short, the requirements are not strict, and the assessment is lax, resulting in a lack of experience and professional skills in the trial of cases,......, for example, the magistrate's salary is too meager, and in the absence of other income and family support, it is not realistic for the magistrate to hire staff, and even can only take some path that violates the laws and regulations of the imperial court, which is very dangerous,......"

One article at a time, the primary selection was conducted, and then five of the ten articles that entered the secondary selection stage were selected.

That's right, the articles in the second issue have been expanded, and new columns have also been formed, in addition to the first issue of "A Preliminary Study of People's Livelihood", "Case Explanation", and "Military Situation Observation", two columns have also been added, one is "Fengxian Warning" and the other is "Extraterritorial Strange Tan".

"Fengxian Warning" is an anonymous article, but in fact, it comes from Yang He, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the article written is some typical situations in the actions carried out by the Metropolitan Procuratorate in Zhejiang last year.

The column "Strange Tales of Foreign Territory" was first created, and the first article was written by Feng Ziying herself.

This is a prose travelogue that introduces the situation of Luzon (Sulu), talks about the historical origins of Luzon (Sulu) and the connection of the Ming Dynasty, introduces the resources and production of Luzon - gold mines, silver mines, spices, precious timber, rice and climate, etc., and even introduces the living conditions of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Luzon and the rule of the Xiyi people, the Franc Ji people.

With Feng Ziying's knowledge reserves, it is actually difficult to support the writing of such an article, he only knows the general situation of Luzon, that is, the Philippines, but it is too difficult to support a thousand-word article.

But he only needed to reveal such a little information to Xu Ji, and within three days, someone from the Guangdong Guild Hall summarized the relevant information and sent it to Feng Ziying's desk, and even brought a silver ticket of Ruifeng with a silver tattoo of 1,000 taels, without even leaving any mark.

Of course, Feng Ziying would not accept this thousand taels of silver, and he once considered including this silver in the income and expenditure account of the "Internal Reference", but in the end he decided not to consider this aspect for the time being, after all, the credibility of public opinion still needs to be maintained, and only when the impression is solidified to a certain extent, can these aspects be considered.

For Feng Ziying, "Extraterritorial Strange Tan" is the most important and meaningful at present, although at present, many people, that is, the officials of the Six Ministries, and this issue will be expanded in scale and will be sent to the Six Ministries of Shilang Zhonghe Zongren Mansion, Honglu Temple, Taifu Temple, Zhan Shifu, etc.

This expansion of scale will be further expanded with the continuous circulation of the publication, and gradually extend to the four officials.

And Huang Ruliang, Xu Zheng and others are also aware of this, if there is not enough profit driven, it will be difficult to get the approval of the sea opening strategy in the imperial court, and it will be a high probability event to continue to stalemate, and only those who have become big smugglers will benefit.
