On the front page of the sixth day of August in the 14th year of Yongzhi, Pravda published an editorial article signed "Seeking Reason" -- "Analysis of Several Public Security Problems in the Jingshi Territory." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The text wrote: "Since the establishment of the dynasty, the population of Beijing has grown to 3 million, industry and commerce have prospered, and powerful people have gathered. With Daxing and Wanping two counties, with the five city soldiers and horses, patrolling the city and the imperial history, with the government guard, how to do the outlaw guards?

There are no big cases. There are many small cases. There are those who commit adultery, those who steal and abduct, and those who run rampant on the streets. The greater one is less than imprisonment, and the smaller one is no more than a few rods. Repeated bans. Such as ringworm scabies. It is a matter of law and order.

The imperial Zhou dynasty was at its peak, and all nations came to the dynasty. The barbarians use Shenjing as a window to get a glimpse of the whole picture of the Central Plains. In the realm of Jingshi, there is such an ugly phenomenon, how can it not be cured? ……

But there are treacherous and petty evildoers, all of whom flow in the Western Regions to enrich the frontiers. It's called immigration.... The benefits are listed below. One..."

Thousands of words were sprinkled on how to solve the problem of "public order." The "reasonable" gentleman suggested the most direct approach: to put all the criminals on the sidelines. Including, beggars, unemployed vagrants, street gangsters, etc. in the capital.

Draw from the bottom of the kettle!

After Ning Xiao finished reading it, Ruyu's pretty face was a little hot. With her IQ, even if she doesn't understand a lot of things, she can still understand it under scrutiny. Obviously, if the imperial court acted in this way, the traffickers would be exiled.

And she asked her younger brother just now: Can Jia Huan be cured? And the prescription prescribed by Pravda can really cure!

Shu King Ning Ke's old face was slightly red, he coughed embarrassedly, and the folding fan in his hand opened and closed, "That, Brother Cheng, this..."

He just ridiculed Jia Huan as a bureaucrat who plays with power, holding power and not being able to do business. However, everyone understands that this Pravda editorial is only from Jia Huan's hand. With the terrible influence of Pravda now, I am afraid that there are already courtiers writing cantatas.

During the Lantern Festival in which year, there were not a few cases of children getting lost and being taken away in Beijing? If it can be governed, it is very good. Where is this what kind of bastard bureaucrats would do?

This face is slapped!

Seeing the embarrassed appearance of his sister and ninth brother, Ning Cheng laughed triumphantly, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and asked, "How?" Brother Jiu, although Mr. Jia is a fake Taoist, he is still a worker. Be principled and emotional. ”

Ning Ke smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Okay, Brother Cheng." Look at you! Will Sister Xiao and I still not admit it? It's okay to stop mocking Mr. Jia in the future, right? At noon, I went to the Drunken Immortal Building, and I had a treat. ”

Ning Cheng and Ning Xi both laughed.

…

…

Pravda's editorial can be described as a stone that stirs up a thousand waves. As for the issue of public security in Beijing, all officials who are close to the people have a deep understanding of it. Soon after, a courtier wrote a letter suggesting that it be handled in accordance with the method provided by Pravda.

The background of this incident is actually because the imperial court has newly acquired the Western Regions and the southwest, and needs immigrants to enrich the border areas. The exile of these traitors to the frontier is indeed a good way to count them in one fell swoop.

Jia Huan went to the Pravda newspaper office outside Zhengyang Gate on the morning of the seventh day of the first month, and yesterday's recital had already been copied back from the General Affairs Department. In the five-room compound, the editors are busy.

Jia Huan just entered his editor-in-chief's office and sat down, and Qiao Rusong and Xiao Mengzhen came in with the manuscript.

Xiao Mengzhen said excitedly: "Ziyu, you see, yesterday Pravda was issued, and today sixteen courtiers wrote a letter, asking to clean up the public security problem in Beijing. We're going to show a big face! Hey, unexpected. ”

Xiao Mengzhen is 29 years old. It is a hot-blooded reader. After participating in the promotion of a whip law with Pravda, he saw another layer of public opinion. This made him even more energetic as a member of the Hanlin Academy.

Studying books and history in the Hanlin Academy may be able to be promoted faster, but how can there be such a refreshing participation in politics and discussion? Isn't it true that a scholar reads a book to sweep away the evils of the world and give the people a good place?

"Are you alright? It's our business. Jia Huan smiled and made a gesture to signal the two to sit down. He is the editor-in-chief, and the manuscript he writes does not need to be reviewed by the editors. Jia Huan issued an editorial, but did not discuss it with Xiao Mengzhen and Qiao Rusong.

After chatting a few words, Xiao Mengzhen continued to get busy. Qiao Rusong stayed and said appreciatively: "Ziyu, you have written this editorial well. Deafening! Sweep away the accumulated cheats! Mr. Ye must like it. I have written to the college. ”

Jia Huan sat behind the bookcase and said with a smile: "Youruo, there is a term in politics called 'listen to his words and watch his deeds'. I can't fool you! Be practical. Of course, the motives are not as noble as Xiao Kaizhi thought. ”

His initial purpose was just to do it for Xiangling. She was abducted by a kidnapper since she was a child. Come to think of it, she is happy to see the group of abductors suffer.

Qiao Rusong laughed.

As a national newspaper and official media, Pravda certainly has to pay attention to some problems in people's livelihood and expose the dark side. Jia Huan's editorial this time can be regarded as a precedent. Newspapers, in addition to engaging in Korean disputes, should also guide public opinion and promote conscience.

…

…

In early autumn, it gets dark quickly. The streets and alleys west of Rongguofu are quite crowded and narrow. Many families have taken up some space outside, building all kinds of sheds, which are messy. Luckily, it's clean.

A considerable number of the people who live here are slaves in the Ning and Rong mansions. Or, relatives of the slaves. The hazy night is spread out in the streets and alleys. Cooking smoke, roosters, dogs barking, and children's crying sounds form a picture of life.

Jia Yun walked to a courtyard and knocked on the door. "Who?" A sturdy man inside opened the door, put on a short coat, and said with a smile: "Oh, rare guest, rare guest." Second Master Yun, come in. ”

Jia Yun is now quite relied on by Jia Huan, and she is a housekeeper-level figure in Jia's mansion. Because he wants to marry Lin Zhixiao's daughter Xiaohong, he has moved out of the West Corridor. A small courtyard was placed outside Rongguofu South Street.

"Ni Er, you're welcome. I'm here to talk about something. Jia Yun entered the home of the drunken King Kong Ni Er, and did not go to the table to eat, but said solemnly.

Drunken King Kong Ni Er, is a splash in the Four Seasons Square, usury, and eats spare money in the casino. Righteousness for others. Although he didn't hang the sign of Jiafu, he had already gone to the government prison, and it was Liu Guoshan, Jia Huan's staff, who fished him out.

Ni Er immediately laughed, "Second Master Yun, what are you talking about?" So saying, he told his wife and daughter to go into the house. He beckoned Jia Yun to sit down on a stool in the living room, and asked in a low voice, "What happened to Second Master Yun?" ”

Jia Yun sighed, took out two silver tickets from his sleeve, and said, "This is the silver ticket for two hundred taels of Shengchang." You take this money, and immediately leave the capital to avoid the limelight. The streets in the capital have recently been cleared. Whoever commits a crime shall be exiled to the Western Regions. ”

Ni Er was taken aback, "This..." Second Master Yun, it must be what the newspaper said, right? Hey..., isn't the newspaper in the hands of the third master? ”

Ni Er turned around anxiously and said, "Okay." I have a friend in Tianjin, and I went to him. Second Master Yun, you and Sister-in-law Lin's happy wine, it seems that my Ni Er can't eat it. ”

Jia Yun couldn't help but smile and said, "When is this, are you still thinking about this." When you come back, I'll treat you to a drink. He and Ni Er are friends.

That night, Ni Er left the capital. A few days after the examination of the Beizhili Academy, the scholar He Daxue voted on the concert of Zhu Hongfei in the imperial history and made the decision to clean up the ground of the Beijing Division. The well-known figures and gangs involved in the crime in the capital were basically swept away, and all of them were sentenced to exile in the Western Regions. The ground in central Beijing is suddenly refreshing.

…

…

Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, the festive atmosphere in the capital is getting stronger and stronger. Mooncakes, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and incense candles can be seen everywhere in the storefronts on the street. At the same time, the hospital test list in Bingchen year has a large number of students. For example, the Teaching Workshop Division, Jingyuan, major restaurants and other places are full of people. From time to time, poems are sung.

Pravda's affairs have been markedly reduced in recent days. Pang Ze, Luo Junzi and others all asked Jia Huan for leave to leave the capital.

Late at night on August 14, the moon was sparse. Jia Huan called Scholar He to He Fuzhong in Yongfang.

Jia Huan didn't come to He Mansion for some time. The old servant of the He family led him to the simple study of the He family.

He Shuo changed into civilian clothes and was tall. Sixty-three years old. He was drinking tea and resting in his study. He met with a lot of guests in the evening. Seeing Jia Huan coming in, he smiled and said, "Ziyu is here, sit." ”

The old servant served tea and quietly retreated. A cool autumn breeze blew in through the window.

He Shuo sighed and said, "Since the opening of Pravda, I haven't talked to Ziyu for a long time. Recently, the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings! ”

Jia Huan was slightly stunned, glanced at Scholar He, and listened quietly.

He Shuo said: "Han Runzhishi, there are only two people left in the Military Aircraft Department, me and Liu Linchuan. They all stared at the vacant spot. Therefore, Ziyu, the matter of increasing business taxes may be slowed down for the time being. Pravda..."

Carrying out a whip would consume some of his energy. Now, there is a lot of competition for the vacant bachelor's position, and he has to carefully choose his deputy. If you push the commercial tax again, it will be impatient.

Jia Huan nodded and said, "He Xiang, I will grasp it." In other words, it is only after the selection of new university scholars that Pravda will start the battle of public opinion to raise commercial taxes.

And in the next month or two, for the position of this scholar, I am afraid that there will be an undercurrent in the court. Fortunately, he stayed out of the way.

He Shuo nodded, sighed, and was a little tired, "I am still relieved that you do things." He groaned slightly.

Jia Huan thought for a while, said his thoughts, and said, "He Xiang, after the business tax increase is completed, I want to release it out of Beijing." ”

The Son of Heaven neglected his government, and the concubine was pregnant. The political situation has changed dramatically. And Jiafu's foundation is unstable, and there are great worries. He needs to move higher in his career. And when the Son of Heaven doesn't like him, there is no way out to stay in the capital.

The state treasury was short of revenue, and the ruling scholar Ho Daxue wanted to raise business taxes, but there was great resistance. Therefore, Professor He pinned his hopes on using newspapers to create public opinion. Jia Huan is helping Scholar He do things. After this was done, he hoped to leave Beijing to develop.

On the timeline, when he left the capital, Concubine Yuan's child should have been born. At that time, the situation in Jiafu will be clearer. For example, it is the prince, how does Jiafu make the next move. It's a princess, how to go?

Beijing officials have always been more valuable than local officials. He Shuo glanced at Jia Huan in surprise, thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay to leave it out for a few years." The kings of Jin and Chu became more and more restless. What an eventful time! Ziyu, I see. ”
