"What's the matter?" Da Yu'er looked at Yang Feng curiously with a pair of big eyes.

Yang Feng asked her with a smile: "Have you ever thought about it, the reason why those scholars can stand on the moral high ground and scold people whenever they want, scold whoever they want, and no matter how ridiculous things are, people all over the world still believe their words, why is this?" ”

Da Yu'er thought for a while before saying, "I used to be in ...... When I was outside the customs, I liked to read your Han books and found something very interesting. ”

Speaking of this, Da Yu'er tilted her head and thought for a while, Yang Feng found that when she frowned, she was very cute, and she had a feeling of girlish maturity, and then she said: "I found that Han scholars like to say that Kong Chengren and Meng are righteous, but there are very few people who can do this.

And it is these people who do a lot of dirty things. But despite this, whether you are the people or the upper class of society, these scholars are extremely tolerant, and to this day, whether it is the court or the people, these people are holding the power, and the status of those military attaches who fight for the country is very low, which is also what has always puzzled me, in our Mongolia, those who are powerless and can only talk about the scholars are absolutely impossible to occupy a high position, why is this? ”

Looking at the girl who looked at her incomprehensible expression, Yang Feng's eyes showed appreciation. He couldn't help but touch her head and smiled, "It seems that our Bumu Butai has really grown up and started to think about these complicated things. ”

Da Yu'er tilted her head unhappily, brushed Yang Feng's big hand away and gave Yang Feng a roll of the eyes: "Eh, how many times have I said it, don't touch people's heads, and besides, people are not children anymore!" ”

Seeing Da Yu'er's inadvertent little temper, Zhezhe and Hai Lanzhu both laughed, the two things Da Yuer hated the most on weekdays were that others touched her head and said that she was a child, Yang Feng took both points, which naturally aroused her unhappiness.

"Okay, our family's Bumu Butai is already an adult, so that's all right?" Yang Feng laughed, and then said: "It's really remarkable that Da Yu'er can think of this, in fact, the reason why my Da Ming treats scholars so favorably is because it is impossible to govern a huge country without scholars, and it is impossible to rule such a large country by brutality alone, which the Mongols hundreds of years ago have set a good example for us."

Why did the former powerful Great Yuan Empire's rule in the Central Plains only last for more than 70 years before it collapsed and was driven back to Guanwai by the rising Han Chinese? There is only one reason, because the Mongols rely on the world to fight immediately, and they also believe that they can govern the world right away, so they are crazy to squeeze the Han people in the Central Plains, in order to prevent the people from rebelling, they even stipulate that only five Han families can share a kitchen knife.

As you all know, their brutality aroused the anger and revolt of the people of the world, so they were quickly driven back to the outside of the fortress, and they have not breathed until now, and they will never be able to regain their former glory. ”

Da Yu'er nodded her little head, and asked thoughtfully: "So is this the reason why your Ming Emperor treats scholars so well?" ”

"Not exactly." Yang Feng sighed lightly before saying: "The reason why scholars can occupy the court is more important because they also occupy the right to speak in the whole world, so no matter what kind of bad things they do, the people and the people will subconsciously believe their words, this is the importance of the right to speak." Chairman He once said that if you don't occupy this position, others will occupy it. And this position is now firmly controlled by the readers, which is where their greatest confidence lies. ”

"Oh, I see." Da Yu'er nodded a little incomprehensibly, and then asked, "By the way, Xianggong, who is the chairman you just said?" ”

"That...... That one...... That person is a very famous person in my hometown, and I will tell you about it when I have time. Yang Feng snorted and casually used a reason to divert the topic, but Zheng Toniang on the side said with great appreciation: "The right to speak? This word is used well, and it is on this that the scholars eat, which is also the biggest confidence that they have been able to firmly control the country for hundreds of years. ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Zheng Tuoniang smiled: "Xianggong, several sisters and sisters, when I used to beg for a living on the Qinhuai River, almost all the people I saw every day were those so-called scholars. You can't say that these people are all bad people, in fact, there are still many of them who are worried about the country, but there are very few such people.

In my opinion, the biggest problem of scholars is that they like to huddle together for warmth, but they will try their best to vigorously publicize anything that is beneficial to them, even if it is not beneficial to the country, they don't care, on the contrary, if it is not good for them, they will try their best to prevent it, just like those salt merchants who went to Yangzhou a few days ago to investigate. Even if these salt merchants have already spent ten lifetimes of gold and silver, they still desperately prevent the imperial court from collecting taxes on them, and they use only one excuse, to compete with the people for profit! ”

"yes...... What a perfect excuse to compete with the people! Yang Feng snorted coldly, and continued: "But why can those officials keep raising such a ridiculous thing openly, and even the emperor can't do anything about them?" There is only one reason, that is, what I said just now, the current Ming Dynasty has the right to speak in the hands of those scholars, if they discredit a person is very simple, as long as they keep releasing rumors, but the other party has no power to fight back, even the emperor can't help them, the reason is this. What I want to do now is to take over this right to speak, even if not all of them, but also to take over most of the right to speak. ”

"Take it, will this work?"

After Yang Feng finished speaking, the girls in the room not only looked at each other, but even Hai Lanzhu, who was innocent, asked with some suspicion: "Husband, most scholars now regard you as an enemy, how can they help you?" Besides, you'...... You ......"

Although Hai Lanzhu didn't continue, the girls understood what she meant, and now Yang Feng has not only become a mortal enemy with the Donglin Party, but also offended those martial artists, and few people are willing to help him at all. It is an unrealistic fantasy to want to seize this right to speak.

Seeing the suspicious eyes of the women, Yang Feng couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "What, are you all doubting your husband's ability?" Let me tell you, although this matter is difficult for others, let me say, it is really not too difficult, but it is a little time-consuming, and it is difficult to see results in a few years. ”

Seeing that Yang Feng seemed to be really angry, the women didn't dare to laugh anymore, so they quickly sat upright, and their expressions became serious, but Yang Feng saw a faint smile between the corners of their eyebrows.

"You ......"

Yang Feng was also a little helpless in this regard, he could only say stupidly: "Okay, let's not say anything false." I'm going to start a newspaper for my husband in a few days, and I hope you can all give me ideas or do me a favor, which of you would like to come? ”

"Newspapers?" The women looked at him with some puzzlement.

Yang Feng shook his head: "It is to publish some news and current affairs of the imperial court, as well as comments on major events in the imperial court, etc., and there can be some strange things in the middle, etc." ”

"Isn't this the post news?" Zheng Tuoniang suddenly realized: "I used to see these things from time to time when the concubine was in Nanjing, but these things are official newspapers issued by the imperial court, and it is difficult for private people to ...... Oh, the concubine has forgotten what the princess does. After speaking, Zheng Tuoniang covered her mouth and laughed.

"You're right, but you're not entirely right." Yang Feng explained: "The news of the imperial court is relatively serious, and what is written on it is usually the emperor's edict, daily words and deeds, government decrees and bulletins, chapters and tables of ministers at all levels, work reports of provincial temple supervisors and other institutions, and war reports of border garrisons, etc., and most of the people who read these post reports are officials of the imperial court and gentry from all over the country.

However, this newspaper for the husband is different, mainly for the people at the bottom, and the husband plans not to use classical Chinese, but to write the whole article in the vernacular, so that the people can understand, and the content is also interesting and vivid, so that we can quickly gain a foothold in the people and open up our popularity. When our post newspaper can take root in the Ming Dynasty, then the right to speak in the Ming Dynasty will no longer be dominated by those scholars. ”

After listening to Yang Feng's "bold words", all the women looked at each other a little, which can be done in advance.

Zheng Toniang thought about it, secretly glanced at Yang Feng and said cautiously: "Xianggong, you can do it if you want to run a post newspaper, but have you thought about it, is this post newspaper printed with engraving or movable type?" ”

The question raised by Zheng Tuoniang is the biggest problem facing printing now, which is divided into engraving printing and movable type printing.

Engraving printing is to write the sample of the manuscript after writing, so that the side with words is pasted on the board, can be engraved, the engraver uses different forms of carving knives to carve the reverse character ink on the woodblock into a raised yang text, and at the same time the remaining blank part on the woodblock is eliminated to make it concave. It has the advantage of looking delicate and neat on the page, but it takes a long time, and the phone bill is quite large, and it takes too much time and energy to run a newspaper, and it is not convenient.

Movable type printing is different, it avoids the lack of engraving to a large extent, as long as enough single movable type is prepared in advance, it can be imimposed at any time, which greatly speeds up the plate-making time. After the movable type plate is printed, it can be disassembled, the movable type can be reused, and the movable type occupies less space than the engraving plate, and it is easy to store and keep, which greatly saves the cost.

But the biggest problem now is that movable type printing in this era is mainly divided into clay movable type molds, wooden movable type molds, tin movable type molds, copper movable type molds and so on. But these movable type molds have their limitations, although the clay movable type mold and wooden movable subtitles are easy to make, but limited by the material is very easy to damage or deform, and the tin movable type mold is not easy to be affected by ink printing is very difficult, and the cost of copper movable type mold is indeed too great, Huaxia was originally a lack of copper country, the use of copper to make movable subtitles not only cost a lot, but also the popularization of copper movable type mold is easy to make the already high copper price rise.

After listening to Zheng Tuoniang's words, Yang Feng said without thinking, "Of course, I use lead movable type molds, you can rest assured of this, I will go out tomorrow and get a few sets of printing equipment, and it will take ten and a half months." ”

"Lead type?" Zheng Tooniang heard a mistant, lead movable type printing press is the use of lead, antimony, tin three metals in proportion to fuse the lead movable type into a complete layout of the printing press, today's Ming does not have this thing.

This thing was first invented by the German Johannes Gutenberg in the fifteenth century, but by the time the lead printing matured, it was already in the eighteenth or nineteenth century, and the Ming Dynasty at this time naturally did not have such a lofty thing.

Seeing the puzzled looks of the women, Yang Feng didn't want to explain more, so he opened the topic with a wave of his hand, and turned to discuss how to recruit editors for the newspaper, recruit printing workers, as well as the venue, the content of the newspaper, and how to distribute the newspaper......

Just when Yang Feng and several daughters-in-law were discussing how to run a newspaper, a gloomy voice sounded in a study room in Shengjing's palace.

"Did they really see Zhezhe and Bumu Butai appear at the gate of the Daxiangguo Temple in the capital with their guards?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Fan Wencheng, who was the study officer of the Tongwen Pavilion at the time, prostrate on the ground, replied with a trembling voice.

Huang Taiji, who was sitting on the chair, was a little flushed, and his eyes erupted with an unconcealable anger. He looked at Fan Wencheng who was trembling on the ground, and couldn't help but want to drag someone in and cut him out several times, but he quickly dispelled this idea, even if he killed Fan Wencheng, there were many people below who knew about it, and even if he killed all these people, as long as Yang Feng was willing to publicize this matter at any time, could he still kill everyone?

Leaning back on the back of the chair, Huang Taiji suppressed the killing intent in his heart and said slowly: "Tell me what happened!" ”

"Huh!"

Fan Wencheng knelt on the ground and didn't even dare to raise his head, hung his head and said: "Your Majesty, the news is sent back by our spies who have been lurking in the capital for more than ten years, and the spies said that they saw the guards of Jiangning Bofu escorting several sedan chairs to Daxiangguo Temple for incense, and then the spies saw Dafujin and Side Fujin and several women getting down from the sedan chair, one of the spies had witnessed the faces of Dafujin and Side Fujin in Shengjing, and they would never be mistaken, they ......"

"Shut up!"

Huang Taiji shouted viciously: "They are no longer the Great Fujin and the Side Fujin, I don't have such a Fujin!" ”

Although Huang Taiji was furious, Fan Wencheng continued tremblingly: "According to the report of the spies, among them, Dafujin is unable to move, and it seems that he ...... Looks like she's pregnant......"

"Bang ......"

With a muffled sound, Huang Taiji slipped off his chair.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"
