Chapter 51: The Truth Becomes Clearer and Clearer the More You Argue
Zhang Pu, Ruan Dacheng and Qian Qianyi were all shocked when they learned that Jinling Newspaper was sponsored by His Royal Highness the Prince, and they swallowed all the events of that day in their stomachs.
What Chen Zilong said is very profound, but it is actually simple and easy to understand: this is a transfer of power in public opinion.
In the past, Zhang Pu organized a poetry society and held a meeting in the name of the society, which consolidated Zhang Pu's right to speak again and again, consolidated the internal structure of the Restoration Society, strengthened the momentum of the Restoration Society, and allowed the Restoration Society to gain the right of public opinion.
Now, Zhu Cihong's sentence "The more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes", immediately made everyone hotly discuss the matter of submitting articles and reading newspapers.
As a result, there are fewer people forming associations, fewer people gathering, and everyone is focusing on newspapers. After all, once it is published in the newspaper, it will be known to the world immediately, and it is too pleasing in terms of cost and method to become famous at a poetry party.
Especially when Zhu Cihong's article "On the Country" came out, everyone was talking about Nanjing Normal School and Zhu Cihong's industrial and commercial establishment, who was still interested in listening to the trend set off by Zhang Pu before?
Zhu Cihong's blow immediately and forcefully countered the momentum created by Zhang Pu before, and overwhelmed Zhang Pu's limelight
At this moment, the right to discuss state affairs is no longer held by the so-called celebrities. As long as you can pick up a pen and write, you can submit the following articles. People no longer need to mingle with poetry gatherings, hug enough thighs to become celebrities, can discuss state affairs, advise and make suggestions, as long as they put pen to paper, they will have the opportunity to become famous.
At this moment, not only was the public opinion position opened up by Zhu Cihong into the mainstream, but the reputation that Zhang Pu was proud of was also greatly weakened.
Zhang Pu pushed open the window and listened to the voices of the people, looking at the bustling and noisy Nanjing, he felt unprecedentedly strange.
On the familiar battlefield of public opinion. But he encountered a strange, powerful, and completely different enemy.
"We ...... Start a newspaper too! Isn't His Highness going to rejuvenate the country? That's called Renaissance! In terms of talents, the Restoration Society is not afraid of anyone. On the ...... of money and food" Zhang Pu looked around at Ruan Dacheng and Qian Qianyi. "We...... Just as fearless! ”
Qian Qianyi thought for a long time, and slowly bowed his head: "Unite as one." Change the ability to change the passivity of the moment. His Royal Highness made a move, I have to say. This move is very clever, so clever that we must face it, and we must strengthen our advantage! ”
Ruan Dacheng said: "Since Tianru is not afraid, I am a united ally!" ”
"Don't be afraid! Our revival newspaper should be done as well! Mao Xiang shouted loudly.
Chen Zhenhui just wanted to chant along, but saw Chen Zilong and Fang Yizhi on the side stunned and didn't speak.
"Mizhi, Wozi......" Chen Zhenhui called softly.
Fang Yizhi heard the words and said, "Yes." We have so many scholars in the society, and we are united. Can't run a revival newspaper? ”
Chen Zhenhui said happily: "It's so good! It won't be long before the Emperor will be able to return. When the four sons of our Restoration Society gather together, we will definitely be able to run a revival newspaper and overpower the Jinling newspaper! ”
In the corner, I don't know when Chen Zilong quietly left. He is no longer an ordinary scholar who is young and enthusiastic, and many times he looks at things more practically and pursues more detailed things.
It's really good to run a newspaper, and everyone here is well-educated. But the way of doing business is not something that scholars can get started at will, not to mention anything else. Chen Zilong has always wondered what secret method Jinling Bao used to reduce the cost of printing so quickly.
After all, a good engraving requires a lot of effort on the part of the master. Although movable type printing came out, it was based on the printing quality of Jinling Daily. Chen Zilong thinks that it is the level of engraving printing.
So how do you combine the convenience of movable type printing with the level of engraving printing? The power of such a two-way thing...... I'm afraid it's something that Tianru and others have ignored, and it's also the real gap between us and His Highness. But...... Who would have thought of that? Chen Zilong left.
He found out. It didn't take long for Fang Yizhi to run out.
When Chen Zilong saw this, he was stunned.
Fang Yizhi smiled bitterly: "I really don't want to do it at the same table with the eunuchs." Ruan Dacheng even wanted to release his suspicions. But his disciples and grandchildren have a grudge against the Restoration Society. Once the newspaper is opened, there will be Ruan Dacheng's people who run it......"
Hear out. Chen Zilong was silent for a long time.
After a while, Chen Zhenhui chased after him, and Chen Zilong's heart moved and followed.
turned a corner, but Chen Zilong found that Huang Zongxi drove a four-wheeled carriage down, beckoning the two of them, and after a pull, several people got into the carriage.
……
Zhu Feiran walked onto the pier of Nanjing City, took a breath softly, and felt relaxed like never before: "The taste of freedom really makes people feel relaxed, this is the ...... I don't know if there are any opponents! ”
A month ago, an edict from Beijing had put Zhu Feiran on the throne of Chu.
However, Zhu Feiran threw away most of his political rights very freely, and took the Huguang grain merchants to embark on the road to Nanjing.
They got off the boat, got into a carriage marked by the Daming Commodity and Grain Exchange, and drove into the city of Nanjing.
No one can realize that the arrival of these people will be destined to change the pattern of Jiangnan.
Hongsheng rice shop.
"Paste a new price tag, let me go!" A young man parted the crowd and hung up a brand new sign.
"Three taels and nine coins and one stone, new rice!"
Seeing this, several strong servants couldn't help but sigh: "The price of rice has risen again!" ”
Outside the rice shop, more women couldn't even say the sound of sighing. Among them, there is Wei Sanniang, whose wrinkles are slightly raised.
Wei Sanniang didn't say anything, silently returned home, looked at the thin husband wearing a patched robe at the sight of the bookcase, wanted to say something, and quietly put down the cloth bag.
However, her husband saw it, walked slowly, and said, "The price has increased again?" ”
"I ran all over the seven stores in Nancheng, and all of them increased in price." Wei Sanniang said softly.
Wei Sanniang's husband's famous Liu Liankun is a sour talent, that is, the kind of poor talent who has lost his family business but has achieved nothing. At this moment, seeing the Hun family returning empty-handed, thinking that there was no money left at home, he couldn't help but redden, and said, "Sanniang! It can't be like this, it can't be like this! As a seven-foot man, how can I let you show your face again! That Longjiang factory, I'll go to decide! ”
"Husband! The sea is dangerous, you are like this...... How can you afford it? Wei Sanniang was shocked.
Liu Liankun shook his head slowly and said, "Even if you can't bear it, you have to eat it!" Anyway, I also ran to Dongying once in the past to let Brother Liao remember me, but I missed it again this time, our family is really ...... Sanniang, don't worry. Brother Liao said, this time the new owner is a generous and generous owner who cares about his subordinates, I left, and the small owner also promised to arrange. I heard that it is a matter of taking care of young children, so it should not be hard. Don't persuade you......"
After listening to this, Wei Sanniang stopped talking, but just hugged Liu Liankun and burst into tears.
