Chapter 648: Yanjing Times

Lin Yanchao can only say that the skill specialization in this life is not in science and technology, and it cannot be like others passing through, and all kinds of inventions and creations are said to be there, although they know that the lead type is the trend of history, but how to create themselves still has no clue.

It seems that the matter of movable type to run a newspaper, only wooden movable type goes first, and Lin Yanchao also knows that the matter of movable type is not in the slightest urgency, and he can only find a good craftsman to slowly innovate in the future.

Now in the newspaper room of the Gonggong magazine, everyone holds melon seeds, tea, and pastries for a tea party.

This time the journal was a great success, and in this way, one month could earn more than thirty taels of silver. This money is not very affordable for Lin Yanchao at the moment, and his monthly expenses in Beijing are more than this.

But for these protΓ©gΓ©s, it was a windfall.

In the newspaper room of the journal, there were several charcoal basins, and the two editors-in-chief and more than a dozen editors were all sitting, and everyone was happy.

In front of them are stewed boils, tea, pastries, and fruits.

Fruits such as Xishan apple, soft pomegranate, kumquat, boiled with large and small sausages, boiled pork liver, pastries with jujube mud rolls, quiches, tea for Lu'an pineapple.

This is also a celebration of the success of the journal.

All the disciples were in high spirits, and everyone chatted while eating melons and fruits.

Lin Yanchao raised the teacup and said, "Everyone, today I will toast you with tea instead of wine, to thank you for your hard work over the past few days." ”

Hearing Lin Yanchao say this, all the disciples raised their teacups.

Taking advantage of everyone's warm atmosphere, when Lin Yanchao decided to start a newspaper, he took advantage of the situation to propose it at this congratulatory meeting.

Lin Yanchao said: "I have decided to organize the newspaper that I have been mentioning to you before, and I have decided to name the new newspaper Yanjing Times. ”

Xu Huobo asked, "Why is the teacher called the Times?" ”

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "The so-called Times, named Liji, the gentleman is also the mean, and the gentleman is in the middle." The villain is mean, and the villain is unscrupulous. The meaning of the middle of the time is that the gentleman can always keep the middle way, and there is no fault. So what is the middle way? If you don't notice it, you don't know it, and if you don't know it, you don't know the middle way, and this is the time when the world is in a big place. ”

When the disciples heard Lin Yanchao's words, they immediately applauded together.

The Times, The Times, the name is well called.

As for Yanjing, it is even more atmospheric, Yanjing is the capital of the emperor, the place where the Son of Heaven lives, and the four directions of the world.

After Lin Yanchao's work was published, he ran another Yanjing Times, which immediately aroused the interest of his disciples. If it was before, everyone would still be skeptical, but now that the journal has been a great success, the disciples are full of confidence.

"Dare to ask Mr. This Yanjing Times, is it planned to refer to the Di newspaper like a private newspaper?"

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "Yes, I did participate in the Di Bao." ”

Lin Yanchao has no reporters, and it is impossible to have a news department, so the only source of information is Di Bao.

"What's the difference between that and a private newspaper room?"

Lin Yanchao said: "The private newspaper carries the newspaper, but does not comment, and we are different, and we talk about it." Of course, it is not bound by this category. ”

When the disciples listened to Lin Yanchao's words, there was another discussion.

Guo Zhengyu asked, "Sir, what else can you look like?" ”

Lin Yanchao didn't answer, but asked the disciples: "What do you think should be like?" ”

Tao Wangling said first: "You can focus on miscellaneous comments, and the merit journal focuses on introducing the teacher's scriptures, supplemented by the miscellaneous comments of our disciples, then the Yanjing Times can be widely discussed, not only the miscellaneous comments of my work, but also the miscellaneous comments of all schools in the world, such as science, mind, qi, metaphysics, interpretation, etc., can be blended, and the effect of a hundred schools of thought contending." ”

Tao Wangling's few words ignited the enthusiasm of all the disciples at once, and all the disciples discussed in private.

He Ziming said: "So it is said that the integration of scriptures and miscellaneous comments on current politics is indeed a novel way, just commenting on political affairs, which may cause dissatisfaction with the imperial court, attack the scriptures, and may lead to academic disputes at any time. ”

He Ziming's words once again aroused the discussion of the disciples.

Tao Wangling said confidently: "The words of the editor are indeed insightful, but since we call it the Times, we are following the middle way." What is the middle way, the middle way is the way of heaven, and the so-called way of heaven is selfless. As long as we uphold the path of impartiality, no one can criticize us. ”

Lin Yanchao praised: "Wangling is really talented, I am not running this Yanjing Times, not for me to learn to sing and harmonize, even if there is a denial of the words of merit, as long as he is reasonable, he can carry it." ”

After a pause, Lin Yanchao said: "My original intention of running this newspaper is not to innovate the world's scriptures, but to innovate the world's public opinion. ”

The position of merit study lies in the merit journal, but the Yanjing Times is different, it is a platform that provides a platform for hundreds of schools of thought to contend.

All the disciples thought so.

Xu Huobo even concluded: "If it is said that the merit journal is to read a hundred books and become a family, then the Yanjing Times is a book and a hundred languages." ”

The disciples discussed for a while, and they all said that in the Yanjing Times, how to supplement the current affairs and scriptures.

But Lin Yanchao thought that this was not enough.

He Yanjing Times, since it was the first newspaper in the modern sense of the Ming Dynasty, the scope of the report must not be too small.

Lin Yanchao decided to reach the audience to all classes who can read and write.

Lin Yanchao decided to divide the Yenching Times into eight pages, the first page is for current political events, recording hot points of current politics and major events that readers all over the world are concerned about.

The second edition of the port news, dedicated to the news of the Beijing division, focusing on the news around the people of the capital.

The third edition is for the economy and people's livelihood, and this edition is aimed at businessmen and officials, similar to the financial newspapers and periodicals of later generations.

The fourth edition of poetry and literature, celebrity singing harmony, new poetry and literature, and imperial examination literature.

The fifth and sixth editions of the miscellaneous treatises on scriptures are dedicated to the study of various scriptures to enlighten the contention of hundreds of schools.

The seventh edition of the Folk Strange Case records the official judgments of the yamen at all levels under the Shuntian Mansion, focusing on the ethics of the common people.

The eighth edition is a serialized popular novel.

The seventh and eighth are all popular with the people in the market.

The disciples said that the first seven editions were okay and that they could handle it themselves, but it was really incomprehensible that the popular novel was serialized in the newspaper.

Of course, in any era, popular literature is more profitable than serious literature, not just in general, but in a lot of money.

From a certain bottle, a certain group repeatedly forbidden, it is known that popular literature has a huge influence on the people.

However, the scholars and doctors, although they privately regard this kind of book as a pillow book and a guide in the room, they are disdainful of this on the surface, and even ** works.

Lin Yanchao's disciples all said that none of them could write.

Therefore, it is difficult for all the disciples to find a famous writer to write popular novels.

In this regard, Lin Yanchao said that he had a candidate in mind.
