Chapter 579: Consolidation

Pravda became an instant hit on May 22, the 14th year of Yongzhi, laying the foundation and status of the official newspaper. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the evening of the second day, Jia Huan invited all the students of the academy, Xiao Mengzhen, and the editors of "Hanyuan Wenhua" and "Pravda" to celebrate their achievements in the Zuixian Building in Chongwenmen.

The editors of Hanyuan Literary Words and Pravda are two brands and one department. Hanlin was an official of the imperial court and had a great future, so of course it was impossible for him to come to work in the nascent newspaper department. The editors were all scribes from Kyochu.

There is no shortage of scribes in the capital. Some even have fame. Grandmaster Fang recruited a group, and Jia Huan also recruited a group. There are 21 people in total.

Subsequently, Jia Huan continuously launched "strong hands" in Pravda.

On 24 May, an article by He Shuo, the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Military Aircraft Division, was published on the front page of Pravda. Scholar He talked about the issue of the rule of officials. It is required to supervise the imperial history, and the patrol road imperial history (trumpet central inspection team) plays its due role. This shook the officialdom of the Beijing Division.

On 25 and 26 May, the articles of Liu and Han were published separately. At the same time, the concertans of the officials of the General Administration Department appeared in Pravda at great length. The number of yamen officials who went to the general administration to copy the palace newspaper gradually decreased. At this point, Pravda's positioning is quite clear: official media!

A succession of articles by important officials of the imperial court were published in Pravda, and the important ministers who did not publish them sent letters to Jia Huan one after another, asking for an article. For example: Shangshu Huamo of the Criminal Department, Shangshu Baizhang of the Ministry of Industry, Zuodu Yushi Yinpeng, etc. For this requirement, Jia Huan is satisfied. It has not yet reached the point where it is necessary to use newspapers to control public opinion and move towards the Korean dispute.

On the 27th, Pravda announced that it would charge five copper coins per newspaper. In addition to the operation, the silver obtained is basically used to pay the "manuscript fee" of the court bigwigs.

On the 28th, Pravda advertised the Xinfeng Auction House on the sixth page. The advertising cost is 500 taels. Set the standard of advertising charges.

On the 29th, Pravda serialized Jia Huan's "Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon" on the seventh page. With a pen name, of course. Writing novels is a trail in Shilin. The article is the right way. Poetry is inferior.

After a series of "handwritings", Pravda became popular in Beijing in late May. According to incomplete statistics, Pravda sold 15,000 copies. It has become the leader of the national newspaper industry. And that number is growing.

The influence of Pravda is growing day by day!

It's another summer rain, and the raindrops are like a curtain. The scorching heat that permeated the world of the capital seemed to dissipate with it.

Located in the west of the city, the Xu Mansion has a beautiful courtyard. Xu Yinglang and his friend Qiao Rusong had a drink in Xiaoxuan. A few plates of wine and food, exquisite and delicious.

Xu Cheng served as a bachelor in Hanlin and concurrently served as the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials (Zheng Sanpin), and entered the ranks of high-ranking officials. At this level, there will be no shortage of money in the family. What's more, at the age of forty-four, he has the hope of being a prince.

Therefore, the Xu Mansion is not large, but it is elegantly arranged everywhere.

"If you ask a little bit of leisure, a Sichuan tobacco, the city is full of wind and flocculent, and the plum is yellow and rainy! Good rain. Xu Yinglang smiled, his expression was a little bitter, he raised his glass and touched Qiao Rusong, and said, "The two of us are wrong." ”

He and his friends are not very optimistic about Jia Huan's newspaper, but out of the friendship of friends and classmates, they are helping Jia Huan. I didn't expect Pravda to be so successful. Judging by the situation, it turned out to be the palace newspaper that was going to replace the imperial court. The newspaper has existed since ancient times, and now it is about to be replaced by the new Pravda.

Awesome! If you don't accept it, you can't.

Qiao Rusong also sighed lightly and said with a smile: "Those who can do anything." Uncle Zhang is big, and Shao Yingmin is superb. The same is true for Ziyu. ”

Zhang Juzheng, the word uncle.

Xu Yinglang suddenly smiled and said, "Youruo, this sentence should be a big deal." ”

Qiao Rusong smiled slightly and had a drink with his friends.

Jia Huan entered Wendao Academy in the winter of the eighth year of Yongzhi, and came step by step, and his prestige among the students in the academy reached its peak during the disaster relief in the ninth year of Yongzhi. Leaders! Therefore, he sent a letter to Wendao Academy, and the elites of the academy gathered in Jiafu.

However, the elites of Wendao Academy may not necessarily be willing to take Jia Huan as the core in the officialdom. For example, Xu Yinglang, his father Xu Cheng is an important minister of the imperial court. There was no need for him to follow Jia Huan at all. He has his political resources.

Another example is Weiyang. His grandfather was a head of the household, and his status was even higher.

After all, Jia Huan is just an idle Hanlin attendant of the sixth grade. It's not enough to be a flag bearer!

However, the great success of Pravda this time has, to some extent, "consolidated" Jia Huan's core position.

At this time, Qiao Rusong thought that Jia Huan would be the next Zhang Juzheng. Xu Yinglang agrees with this judgment. Such a character is obviously worth following.

The light rain is miserable. The courtyard is deep in the evening.

When Wei Yang was studying hard in the study at night, he was called over by his grandfather Wei Hong, who returned home.

The night was already a little dark. Wei Hong no longer saw guests, changed into civilian clothes, and drank tea in the flower hall. The eldest son, Wei Kang, is accompanied. "Yang'er is here, sit down." Wei Hong smiled and stretched out his hand to sign, "Have you been to the Pravda office recently?" ”

Wei Yang was eighteen years old at the time, a young man in a Confucian shirt, with a handsome face, smiled and greeted his grandfather and father, and said: "Grandpa, my grandson has been studying at home recently, and he didn't go to the newspaper. ”

The personal relationship between Wei Shentong and Jia Huan is still good. However, because he is studying hard and preparing for the third township exam in three years. Pravda affairs, he only knew something and was not involved.

Wei Hong nodded and said kindly: "Jia Ziyu is impressive this time." It is rare to stab people in front of the Son of Heaven. However, He Xiang will definitely protect him. You are too anxious to study, you need to slow down. Get close to him and go to the newspaper office to help. In my opinion, your father will not be as good as him in the future. ”

This one is highly rated.

Wei Kang is in his thirties, a beautiful man, with a strong affinity, and his interaction with people is like a spring breeze. The official appointed Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry (Zheng Wupin). He smiled and said, "Father, you say this, it hurts your son's face very much." Of course, Jia Ziyu is indeed a great talent. With the ability he has shown, Yang Wenzhong is the second! ”

The former head of the Ming Dynasty, the elder of the three dynasties, Yang Tinghe, and Zhen Wenzhong. He is known as Yang Wenzhong.

Wei Yang smiled and nodded, "Sun Er knows." "His classmates are running newspapers, but he is a little suffocated. He misses the atmosphere of Yongzhi's nine-year disaster relief.

After the beginning of June, Jia Huan gradually began to hand over the affairs of Pravda to his colleagues in the editorial department. For example, Liu Guoshan, Liu Yichen, Luo Junzi, Pang Ze, Qiao Rusong, and Qin Hongtu all worked in the newspaper.

Although Pravda is a subordinate of the Hanlin Academy, Jia Huan was originally in charge of the work of "Hanyuan Wenhua". Recruiting private individuals is in line with the rules.

Xiao Mengzhen, who is in charge of affairs on the surface, serves as the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper. Jia Huan and Xiao Mengzhen had a private conversation. It's not bad.

On June 13, Jia Huan returned to King Wu's mansion after a few months to give lectures to Ning Cheng, the son of King Wu, and Ning Xi, the king of Yan.
