Chapter 575: Not optimistic
At dusk, the smell of mugwort leaves wafts through the dimly lit lattice, repelling mosquitoes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
To the west of Sanssouci Hall, Jia Huan was introducing Pravda to several students.
Zhang Sishui, Liu Yichen, and Liu Guoshan are in Jiafu. Luo Junzi, Pang Ze, Qiao Rusong, and Qin Hongtu came from Wendao Academy in Dongzhuang Town. Wei Yang's house is in Xianyifang, Xicheng. Ji Ming, a new science and technology scholar, interned in the Ministry of Engineering, and Xu Yinglang interned in the Ministry of War.
The crowd sat in the small hall in twos and threes. Jia Huan sat in the center and said calmly: "What Xiang means is that I hope I can use Pravda to create public opinion for raising the commercial tax rate and break the deadlock." ā
As soon as the words fell, Pang Ze, who had run a newspaper with Jia Huan in Jinling, said bluntly: "It's difficult! ā
Pang Ze has an ugly appearance, a large nose, and wears a blue shirt. Dressed neatly, with a slightly chubby figure, it is obvious that his wife is carefully cared for. He was talented, but he didn't go well in the field. It is already two subjects that have not passed the township test.
With Pang Ze's intelligence and experience in running a newspaper, he made such a conclusion, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little dull.
Qiao Rusong shook his head with a smile, and pointed out sharply: "It's not difficult, I'm afraid it won't fall on Ziyu's head." "He's in the same situation as Poundzer. Before the two subjects were missed, Jia Huan wrote a letter to Wendao Academy to invite him, so he temporarily abandoned his books and came to do practice.
In Jia Huan's situation, although his official position was promoted to the sixth grade, he was "assigned" to the Wu Wangfu by the Son of Heaven and marginalized. No matter how much Scholar He values Jia Huan, it is impossible to hand over an easy matter to Jia Huan to do. Only when capable people can't and make indelible contributions, can Jia Huan's career improve.
Luo Xiangyang sat on the chair, sitting very upright, but his expression was a little decadent, and asked, "Ziyu, didn't you say that you want to be Taoguang and obscure." How can you still accept such an errand? "He came to the capital to relax, not to run a newspaper.
This year, Luo Junzi was once again named on the gold list, and he ranked eighth in the high school exam. The progress is obvious. According to this year's trend, the museum is selected as a scholar, and the career is smooth. But during the palace examination, Scholar He did not like his style (oath) and said: "How can the national talent selection ceremony be used for personal fame?" "Lower Luo Junzi's ranking and set it in the middle of the second class.
Luo Junzi resigned.
He came to Jiafu from the academy, not to help Jia Huan run a newspaper, but to relax. Close as the elder brother, Jia Huan knows the reason: he has a crush on Jia Xichun. Luo Junzi's character and talent are not picky, but Jia Huan will not mess with the mandarin duck spectrum. This is different from the marriage of the Spring Festival.
Jia Huan groaned and sighed lightly: "Junzi Luo, this time, that time." It's a different story now! In fact, he would rather live a few years of easy, peaceful life.
Like a few days ago, I accompanied my wife and Hongyan in the red fragrance garden, and the sisters ate and drank, and even Xiangyun was drunk and lying, which is also a happy life! After a few years, the flowers of the Grand View Garden will disperse, how many times can there be such a good time?
It's just that the situation is not up to anyone! Although Jia Huan's career is unsuccessful, the news is not blocked. It's just a little delayed. Prince Shun can judge the political changes: the Son of Heaven is sluggish. Jia Huan naturally judged it.
The Son of Heaven is very simple, only four words, but in fact, it is a new round of power reshuffle. This point can be understood by referring to the actions of Tang Xuanzong in the Tianbao period.
Jia Huan has been thinking about Yuanchun's recent situation these days because Jia Yuanchun ordered Jiafu to fight Jiao, and the hidden worries in his heart are constantly increasing. He originally thought that He University Scholar asked him to run a newspaper, just to occupy the position of public opinion. I don't really care.
He Daxue presided over the center of the imperial court, but he could not control Kedao. Jia Huan thought that the scholar was the card of the official. From the perspective of those in power, no one likes to "find fault" all day long. The powerful Zaifu will basically seek to control the department and control public opinion.
Therefore, Jia Huan didn't care much. He's nothing to fear. However, when he met with Scholar Ho today, he learned that the purpose of running the newspaper was to create public opinion about raising commercial taxes.
Then, the opponent is not a speech official, but a relevant interest group. However, Jia Huan still agreed. Because, in this power reshuffle, he hopes to get some chips or increase his right to speak. Yuan Chun was there, he was really a little worried.
Woe and blessing rely on, blessing and misfortune lurk! Yuan Chun is pregnant at this time, this matter, looking at it with a magnifying glass, repeatedly speculating and scrutinizing, I am afraid it is not necessarily a good thing.
If you like it, if you give birth to a prince, Yuanchun's position in the palace will be more stable. Mother is more precious than child, this is a tradition that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Those who are worried, ten months of pregnancy, that is, October of falling out of favor. There are many things that are broken before the old man is old. Moreover, ten months of political conspiracy is enough.
Jiafu, are there any enemies?
Jia Huan picked up the celadon teacup and took a sip of tea gently, his expression becoming more and more calm.
ā¦

To Jia Huan's sigh, Luo Xiangyang nodded. Fate always thinks that there are too many humorous ideas for me. This is true for him, and so is for Yu Ziyu.
The students discussed a few words together, but they were not very optimistic. Including Xu Yinglang, who has a cheerful personality and likes to laugh. He also talked about this matter with his father Xu Cheng at home a few days ago.
In fact, everyone who engages in public opinion and propaganda and hears the Tao Academy is familiar with it and has their own experiences. However, the basis of all propaganda work is strength. How is it possible to use public opinion to convince the "interest groups" to bow their heads and bleed and agree to raise commercial taxes?
You must know that all the court officials, ministry executives, and family members are basically in business. Moreover, most of them are monopolistic in nature. Without the care of the official, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, business can't be done! This is not counting the royal family, military generals, and officials, and people. These are all groups that do not pay taxes.
Not to mention fifteen taxes and one tax, thirty taxes and one, they don't pay taxes. How is this tax charged? It's not ordinary!
Jia Huan explained: "So, while I promised He Xiang, I asked him to give me a year to develop Pravda. We prepare for the worst and strive for the best.
My idea is to go in three steps. First, we must stand firm and play the brand of Pravda. Second, we must expand our influence and test the depth of the water with other things. Third, it is the bombardment of public opinion and polemics. ā
Jia Huanluo listed the steps and timetable. Discuss strategies with your classmates. Whether it can succeed or not, Jia Huan actually has a bit of a bottom in his heart.
Because, to increase commercial taxes, in the final analysis, is to maintain the rule of the Zhou Dynasty. As long as the majority of the ruling class is "united" and a consensus is reached to impose a small commercial tax, it will not provoke too strong a backlash.
It is always important to understand that those who oppose and those who agree with it are in the minority, and the centrists are the majority. Therefore, to mobilize public opinion is to compete for the centrists, form a joint force, and achieve the goal.
Time passed slowly in the discussion. Copywriting is constantly forming. Jia Huan began to assign tasks piece by piece. Running a newspaper is not a simple errand: silver taels, craftsmen, editors, manuscripts, etc., there are a lot of things.
Luo Junzi arrested Jia Huan. And Wei Yang, Xu Yinglang, and Ji Ming did not participate. Wei prodigy should concentrate on studying. Xu and Ji are in officialdom, and it is not convenient to mix. However, to discuss things, Jia Huan still had to call them over, which was the recognition of the group.
After contacting Wei Hanlin and Xiao Mengzhen of the Hanlin Academy, the matter of Pravda was slowly prepared and operated.

In the evening, it was raining lightly. Xu Yinglang hosted a banquet for his friend Qiao Rusong at the Sanyuan Restaurant on Xuanwumenli Street.
The two of them have been friends for many years. In the private room on the second floor, you can see a drizzle of rain permeating the rows of houses.
On the table of the Eight Immortals, there are steamed chicken, crucian carp soup with shredded radish, stir-fried kidney flowers, and seasonal vegetables. A pot of rice wine. Color, flavor, and flavor. It's appetizing.
Qiao Rusong drank a glass of wine and asked, "Pravda will start editing in two days." Wen Qian, do you think this can be done? What does your father think? ā
Xu Yinglang shook his head and sighed with the delicious crucian carp soup: "Youruo, this thing is difficult!" Ziyu is a little too optimistic! Come to think of it, Scholar He treats him very well, and he is afraid that he will not be able to push it. Let's try our best to help Ziyu. Ha, it's not necessarily, when the debate is over, we minions have to end!
Do you know? In the court, Liu and Han, two scholars, disagreed with this matter. The conduct of these two men is recognized by the whole world. They all have this attitude. And Song Tianguan directly said that Scholar He was mentally inflated and carried away. ā
Song Tianguan is Song Pu, the secretary of the ministry. This is one of the few bigwigs in the foreign court who can not give Zai Fu face.
Qiao Rusong smiled bitterly, "That's what I said!" ā
In his view, there was nothing wrong with what Scholar Ho did. Scholar He is impartial in his administration and rises to the occasion in the face of difficulties. If you don't increase commercial taxes, will you exploit the small people? Such as the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen period to add Liao?
Xu Yinglang raised his glass and drank a glass with Qiao Rusong, and said with emotion: "Youruo, don't say so far, in two days, Pravda will be released, whether you can make a name for yourself in the near future and play a signboard, it is a difficult matter." ā
Qiao Rusong nodded.
