Chapter 6: My Public Opinion Offensive

The afternoon in the Chongzhi Hall was very cool, and facing the gentle Taiye Pool, Zhu Cihong sat on the semi-open platform, his expression was very relaxed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that Chen Zilong and Chen Zhenhui, who are opposite Zhu Cihong, are extremely tense.

They were all waiting for Zhu Cihong's reply.

Zhu Cihong looked at the two of them with a smile and waved his hand: "They are all so nervous, as if they are going to sacrifice their lives for the country." Relax a little. After all, this decree has already been signed. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Cihong slowly took out a copy and handed it to the two.

"Jingshi Guangping's actions can only be regarded as petty fights. Now it's time to look at my public opinion offensive. This time, the China News Agency, the General Administration of Press and Publication, including the Jingshi Times and the Jinling Daily, the task of the first battle was to clearly tell the people of the world the full meaning of this decree! The meaning and enthusiasm of this decree will be clearly explained to the public. Fight the first battle of public opinion! Zhu Cihong said, and the two took the copy.

Above, is about Zhu Cihong's decree on reforming Tianfu this time......

Notice of the Cabinet of the Ming Empire on Promoting the Reform of the Objects of Land Levy

Gefa [276] No. 1

Governors, governors, envoys, prefectures, guards, and thousands of households, as well as agencies directly under the Empire:

8. Fees for the supply of papers.

……

Looking at this brand-new decree, Chen Zilong and Chen Zhenhui straightened their chests. A hot heat rose in his bosom.

This decree was very different from any administrative case in the Ming court.

The detailed description, the clarity of the thinking and even the completeness of the execution of the action are far beyond any of Chongzhen's age. This means that this time the court will not repeat, it will be serious!

Thinking of this, how not to let the chests of the two young people be hot, a pride in changing the world surged into his heart: "The ministers understand! Never fail to live up to the trust of God! ”

……

Suddenly, there were a lot fewer idle people in the Jingshi.

Even those scholars who were preparing for the imperial examination in Beijing suddenly disappeared as if they had encountered a black hole. As one of the founders of several societies, Chen Zilong, Chen Zhenhui and Fang Yizhi are veterans in the status of the Restoration Society. This time, after the three of them entered Beijing, they just spread the word, which attracted a large number of people to join.

It didn't take long for the China News Agency to erect a skeleton.

Unlike the four-grade yamen rated by the General Administration of Press and Publication, the Zhonghua Society can be called ungraded, and does not have an official title.

Zhu Cihong explained very clearly from the beginning that this was a for-profit private structure. All of them were Zhu Cihong's personal money.

After learning that this was not an official yamen, a group of people with hot eyes and official ranks left. But more good-eyed people stayed.

The China News Agency is very solid in its footing.

First of all, Zhu Cihong's first batch of 100,000 taels of funds was quickly disbursed after Chen Zhenhui took office as president of the China News Agency. This may not be a large amount compared to those military expenditures, but in fact this amount of money is enough for a thousand middle-class families of three generations and ten people for a year.

Coupled with the bright support of the Beijing Normal Times, the official support of the General Administration of Press and Publication, and the appeal of the three talents of several agencies, the human, material, financial and policy problems of the China News Agency have all been solved and have grown rapidly.

Tianjin Branch, Baoding Branch, Zhending Branch, Cangzhou Branch, Tongzhou Branch...... Shandong branch and Henan branch were established one after another.

After countless people went to various places, the Jingshi Times office also began to expand, and not only the newsstands of the Jingshi Times began to appear in Beijing, but also in Tianjin, Cangzhou, Tongzhou, and Gyeonggi prefectures.

Soon after, Jinan, Kaifeng, Xi'an, and Taiyuan passed all the way, and newspapers began to be distributed in most of the major cities of the empire.

Without exception, the Chung Hwa News Agency and the Jingshi Times Branch began to appear in these places.

On this day, the time quietly fell to October 17, 276 of the Ming Dynasty.

A decree that had been in the making for a long time appeared in the newspaper of the Jingshi Times. Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, it shook the entire Jingshi.

……

Many new teahouses have recently opened on the east and west sides of Chongwenmen Street. In autumn, after the new grain was launched, the Jingshi who were calm in the market had a lot more laughter and joy, and even the business of the teahouse was much better. Drinking tea to get rid of the fire, or taking advantage of this leisure time to pass the time has also become the choice of many people in Beijing.

Of course, for Fei Ding, the household secretary of Wanping County, he was able to come to the teahouse today to pass the time of depression in his heart.

The county lord has been getting stronger and stronger recently.

It made him worried.

It's not that the county master can't be strong, a county is a seal official, and it's normal to be strong and talk.

But the abnormal place is that this is Wanping County, which is the capital division. A six-grade county order at the feet of the Son of Heaven is too strong, and it will inevitably cause trouble. There are too many high-ranking officials in the Jingshi, and a brick from the tower of Chongwenmen may not be involved in that high-ranking official of Jiuqing.

In Fei Ding's view, the most important thing to be an official in Wanping County is to be calm and endure profits. What can be touched and what cannot be touched must be understood.

In the year and a half since taking office, Wu Yingke's behavior is very much in line with the above requirements in Fei Ding's view.

But a year and a half has passed, and compared with Xinke Jinshi, who didn't know anything at the beginning, Wu Yingke is now proficient in business and has good feelings.

Perhaps it is this confidence that makes Wu Yingke no longer silent, and after a series of actions, Fei Ding became more and more worried.

A while ago, the county master went to the county school, and brought a few officials who came back from the army, and I don't know where to invite back a master of the lotus flower as a master.

That's right, according to Wu Yingke, it is disgusted that the original fish scale atlas is too simple, and it is necessary to comb it and see it more clearly.

But Fei Ding has been in the county government for generations, and he understands Wu Yingke's mind with a roll of his eyes.

This is to cooperate with the Qingzhang Tianmu that has recently gone viral in Beijing.

If a remote county commander can get the help of a battalion of strong soldiers, he will have some chance of winning in this way. But at the feet of Jingshi, there are countless heroes. Wu Yingke did this, isn't that self-destruction?

If Wu Yingke was embarrassed, Fei Ding didn't care.

But the gods fight, and mortals suffer. At that time, the household will bear the brunt......

Thinking like this, Fei Ding drank tea again, only to feel that the high-grade dragon well of two taels of silver and one tael was like white water, and he could not calm down at all, but made him more and more excited and anxious.

At this time, there was a commotion in the teahouse.

A group of guests who poured in from nowhere slapped the table and shouted, "Shopkeeper, didn't you say yesterday that you made a deal with the Jingshi Times and sold hundreds of copies of the Jingshi Times in the teahouse every day?" Take it out! ”

"Yes, take it out, we want to buy it!"

"Take it out quickly! Don't you try to scold me! ”

……

The shopkeeper came out in a hurry, both surprised and nervous, and hurriedly comforted: "Everyone, this is the arrangement of the contempt hall, please be a little restless, don't be impatient!" ”

Several juniors are holding newspapers in their hands to sell.

At this time, some other Jingshi tea guests also made a fuss: "Where did Mr. Hong go?" ”

"yes, Dr. Hong isn't here today?"

"We have to listen to the newspaper too!"

……

At this moment, another middle-aged man wearing a white patched robe came to the stage, and said no: "It's coming, it's hard to find today's newspaper, please ......forgive me."

There are also many people in Jingshi who don't know a single word, and they like to listen, so the teahouse is equipped with a tea doctor storyteller in the hall.

At this moment, Dr. Hong took the newspaper and read it out at the moment: "Seventeenth year of the 276th year of the Ming Dynasty, the oracle ......"

There was a little silence in the room.

Fei Ding sensed that something was wrong, looked over, and beckoned Xiao Er to come over with a newspaper. He is the secretary of the Yahufang Office of Wanping County, and in later generations, he can also be regarded as the director of the Finance Bureau of Dongcheng District, and he has a waiting servant to take the newspaper over.

At this time, there was a slight calm in the lobby.

Dr. Hong's loud and surprised voice came to mind at this moment: "What a good thing! The saints will reduce taxes and pay equal service! Let's clear the acres of land in the Ming Dynasty! ”

At this time, the servant also handed the newspaper to Ferdin.

Looking at the top of his head, Ferdin's head felt as if it was about to explode.

"1 In the case of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is said that the person who loses the amount is exempted...... The officials of the council should be led by the political envoys of each country, and the guards and garrisons should be divided into commanders, and the officials of the prefectures and counties should be in charge of their own territory. The amount of the re-sitting faction is said to have the number of officials and people in the field, and the number of upper, middle and lower grains, so it is advisable to investigate them one by one, so that they cannot be confused. The grain of the reinstatement of the levy, such as the military cantonment is the tun grain, and the military and civilian land is the people's grain. The law of strict deception and concealment, there are those who surrender themselves over the years of misappropriation and reclamation and fail to report are exempted, those who report untruthfully are sitting, and those who conceal the right are sent to be severely punished. The period of Dingqingzhang ......"

"This is going to be another Zhang Juzheng!" Fei Ding thought about it, and couldn't help but think of the turbulent twists and turns of the imperial court after Zhang Juzheng took power. During the reform, those who stood in the way lost their positions and dismissed them. After Zhang Juzheng stepped down, it was a counterattack, and it was a bloody storm......

Countless images came to Feiding's mind, and he immediately felt that his head was big for a while.

The words "Immortals fight mortals suffer......" kept spinning in Fei Ding's mind, making him look at this famous Qianyuan teahouse with disgust: "I will never come here again in the future!" It's really bad luck, I was originally distracted, but I saw this kind of disgust again! Disappointed, disappointed! ”

Fei Ding walked out of the teahouse in a rage, and the shopkeeper hurriedly chased after him, but after a long period of warm words, he still couldn't save Fei Ding's bad mood, so he had to look blankly at the back of Fei Ding's departure.

At the same time, in the county office, Wu Yingke took the cabinet document, and he had a strong spirit, only to see him say proudly: "Summoning all parts of the county government, Shenshi county government hall, all the staff gather to report!" This official has something big to announce! ”

A few capable suppressions suddenly agreed, and rushed out resolutely.

Looking at the backs of these people, Wu Yingke said with a smile: "I really deserve to be a talent born in the army, and I work hard." ”

At this time, Fei Ding did not know that the county government had begun to call people from all over the place to gather. He's sulking and there's nowhere to sprinkle it.

Jingshi is so big, and there are leisure and entertainment places everywhere, so naturally there is no shortage of places for recreation. Although the food and silver of the household scrivener are scarce, the nourishment is very great, and he is not short of money.

In this way, Fei Ding unconsciously found himself in Yanle Hutong again, and finally stopped at a place where the famous No. 1 Fan Building was.

This is a newly opened storefront, which is very different from other places in Qinglou Chu Hall in that the decoration here is very different.

The masonry houses with new concrete floors looked imposing and refreshing, which made Ferdin's mind relax a little.

With something on his mind, Ferdin's welcome greeted him warmly.

I only heard the welcome smile and said: "This guest officer, are you here for today's new play?" That's a coincidence. There are still a few private rooms left. The small one is prepared for you, hey, this way, it's a public place, it's not worthy of your status......"

The thoughtfulness of the welcome relieved Ferdin's mood a little, and he walked up and into the private room, where he saw the actors on the stage beginning to bow and salute.

"Track: Da Song Bao Qingtian!"

"Teleprompter: Treacherous tax evasion caused the people's families to be ruined, Bao Qingtian measured the acres of land and asked for the people's lives,"

In the public area, the crowd shouted: "Okay! ”

"This new drama has a story!"

"This bag of blue sky is so handsome!"

……

This is the story of Bao Zheng and Cai Jing in the Song Dynasty. The traitorous minister Cai Jing passed on the tax and caused the people's families to be ruined, Bao Zheng was not afraid of the powerful, sorted out the ownership of the field endowment, collected more than the people's taxes, and even more than a lot of the taxes of the traitorous Cai Jing, and then asked for the people's lives, and the traitors were brought to justice.

Of course, Bao Zheng in history has never measured acres of land, but since it was Bao Qingtian who asked for the people's life, it is naturally right to measure acres of fields......

In the private room, Fei Ding's brain exploded: "Taxes, taxes, taxes, there is no end!" ”
