Entering Jiangning City, Lin Jian first sent someone to hand the fold into the palace.

Of course, the queen mother, the emperor and the ministers of the political hall knew that Lin Jian would return to Jiangning today, even if Lin Lian's itinerary was strictly confidential, Lin Xuwen and the others would have known about such a big move when they went out of the city to welcome such a big move. However, according to the rules, Lin Jian had to hand the fold into the palace first, tell him to return, and then make an appointment to summon him.

After returning to Chen Yuan, Lin Jian let everyone rest in the front garden, and he went back to the inner house to wash up first.

Gu Junxun, Su Mei, Xiaoman, Liu Yue'er, Sun Wenwan and other female dependents had already looked at each other in the inner house, watching Lin Lian pacing in, and hugged him, saying that his face was thin, saying that his face had turned black, and the daughter born to Sun Wenwan was the youngest, and she hadn't seen her for more than four months, and she was already a toddler.

Looking at the full house of girls and children, Lin Jian was also ashamed in his heart, when he first returned to Jiangning, he couldn't reunite with his family in the inner house for the first meal, and he had to deal with those people who didn't leave in the front yard first.

Of course, Gu Junxun, as the main room, wanted to accompany Lin Jian to Nanyuanzi to have a banquet with the ministers to show his closeness to the ministers. However, the Sumei daughters, as concubines, did not have the opportunity to show up on this formal banquet. Lin Jian was also afraid that he would snub the girls, so he hurried back to the inner house to chat with the girls and relieve the pain of lovesickness.

Gu Junxun said for a while, then went back to the room to change into court clothes and put away makeup, Lin Jian accompanied Su Mei, Xiaoman, Liu Yue'er, and Sun Wenwan to talk in the study hall in the west corner of Dongyuanzi, and Song Jia rushed over from the palace after a while.

Lin Jian asked, "The excerpt has already been handed into the palace?" ”

Song Jia glanced at Lin Jian and said angrily: "Without an order, the concubine can't rush over to see you?" He also gave gifts to Su Mei and Liu Yue'er's daughters, "Song Jia has seen your sisters......"

"Sister Song is really polite." Su Mei smiled, stood up and gave Song Jia the stool next to Lin Jian to sit on.

Song Jia took Su Mei's arm and sat down together.

Lin Jian took Song Jia's hand, soft as jade, gently twisted, hand to hand, only to feel that the jade in front of him was more and more genuinely lovely, and said: "As soon as I entered the city, I asked someone to hand the fold into the palace, but I was in a hurry to see you?" ”

Song Jia smiled with Su Mei's daughters: "You see, my husband's mouth is getting more and more slippery, I don't believe this when I say it to me, if it is said to you, do you believe it?" "I haven't seen you for a few months, I miss it in my heart, the jade hand is held by Lin Tie, but his mouth is not forgiving, in front of the girls, he is also a husband and a gentleman who is commensurate with Lin Tie.

"Don't believe it, don't believe it, believe in him to call it a ghost!" Xiao Man coaxed and hugged Lin Lian's neck from behind.

Liu Yue'er and Sun Wenwan laughed, among the daughters, in addition to Liu Miaozhen, Song Jia was the only one who worked outside. Although Song Jia is extremely pungent in temperament, she has no relationship with the women.

After laughing for a while, Song Jiacai talked to Lin Jian about business: "The Queen Mother summoned her husband to enter the palace the day after tomorrow, and asked her husband to wash the dust and rest in Chen Yuan for two days......"

"How can I rest?" Lin Jian frowned and said, "Two days is not enough time to sort out the situation in Jiangning......"

Lin Jian first had to go to the palace to report on his work, explain to the queen mother and the emperor the details of the inspection of the defense area in the past four months, and then go to the political hall to receive inquiries from the prime ministers on military and political matters. A plan for the use of troops in Jiangxi after the autumn has also been drawn up, and Jinghu, Chizhou, Tanzhou, Huaidong, Zhejiang, and Yijiang Towns have also begun to prepare for war and adjust the deployment of troops long ago.

"Who told you to fool around in Xuzhou for so many days?" Xiao Man said with a smile, "The preparations over there in Shangrao are so tight, and you have not returned to Jiangning until today, you are really busy!" ”

During this inspection, Lin Jian stayed in Xuzhou for nearly two months before and after, and mixed with Liu Miaozhen, even if he used the excuse of the importance of Xusi's defense line, he did stay in Xuzhou for a little longer.

Lin Jian said: "The importance of the military state, one is in Xu Si and the other is in Luyi, if these two foundations are not real, Jiangning will be difficult to settle down, and the stay time will inevitably be longer." I'm going to inspect next year, and I don't want to suffer this hard time, so you have someone to go out with me, so that I can be more comfortable......"

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Man couldn't wait for the opportunity to walk around Jiangning City, so he agreed to come down.

Su Mei turned around, pinched her lightly, and said, "The husband left Jiangning to inspect the military and political affairs of various places, and he should be an example of hard work, where can he be greedy for luxury and pleasure all the way?" He said to Lin Lian again, "The sixth lady helped the girl study, but someone asked Su Mei to help her say a word in front of her husband......

"Oh, what's the matter?" Lin Jian asked. Su Mei wouldn't promise others indiscriminately outside, and it was quite strange to suddenly mention that someone had asked her for help.

"Chen Qingqing wants to donate to a women's school, but I am afraid that the Privy Council School will not accept it, and when I came over a few days ago, I estimated that you would come back, so I asked for this." Su Mei said.

"Ahh Lin Jian was slightly stunned, and subconsciously said, "Gao Zongting went to Luzhou to meet me, but he didn't say a word?" "Thinking about it again, Chen Qingqing had a rough life in his early years, and was married to He Yuejing, the general of the auxiliary state, as a concubine, He Yuejing died in battle, Chen Qingqing expelled He Yuejing's wife from the Chen family and re-entered the music family.

Even if he knew Gao Zongting, Chen Qingqing probably didn't want to bend to be a concubine.

"Mr. Gao has no opinion!" Su Mei said.

Running a women's school is a shocking move, and Chen Qingqing is even more sensitive because of her status as a happy lowly family. Gao Zongting couldn't make up his mind for Chen Qingqing for a while, so Chen Qingqing found Su Mei to ask if this could be done.

Lin Jian said, "Then why not? If Chen Qingqing is willing to donate to a women's school, it is really a righteous act, and the court should be commended. These days, I don't have the energy to talk about these things, Chen Qingqing wants to donate, so let's do it quietly first, don't care about what the world is talking about! There are some discussions, you have to listen carefully. But there is also a saying that if you rebel in a show, you won't succeed in ten years, and those who can just talk about it, no matter how fierce the wind is, it will be difficult to make a big mess! ”

"Everyone in the world should be as open-minded as you, and everything can be done," Su Mei sighed lightly, "I'll tell Chen Qingqing about this in two days." ”

Gu Junxun changed into court clothes and came over, and Lin Jian got up and went to Nanyuanzi to accompany the ministers to have a banquet, and asked Song Jia to stay in the inner mansion and dine with Su Mei and them.

went out of the city in the afternoon to greet him, but Lin Xuwen, Huang Jinnian and others were free; However, at the banquet in Chen Yuan Nanyuan at night, none of the important figures of the Huaidong family in Jiangning attended.

Lin Tie and Gu Junxun sat in the center, and the left and right were divided into four columns to put up long cases and set up wine and food, Lin Tingli, Lin Xuwen, Lin Mengde, Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang, Gao Zongting, Sun Jingxuan, Huang Jinnian, Song Fu, Hao Zongcheng, Liu Shidu, Chen Huazhang, Zhao Hu, Yang Yihang, Zhou Pu, Sun Zhuang, Chen Enze, Hu Yuer, Ge Siyu, Wu Jiye and other nearly 40 generals and ministers attended.

Lin Jian is not accustomed to tedious rituals, but rituals are also a way to increase power in the world.

After the banquet, Gu Junxun went back to the inner house first, and Lin Jian also asked everyone else to go back to rest first, and left Lin Tingli, Lin Xuwen, Lin Mengde, Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang, Gao Zongting, Sun Jingxuan, Song Fu, Huang Jinnian, Liu Shidu, Chen Huazhang and others to discuss matters. These people are almost the core figures of the Huaidong family in Jiangning.

"I will see the Queen Mother in the palace the day after tomorrow, and I will recommend Chen Gong Chen Huazhang to take charge of the Jinxiang Academy, and the household department will also jointly sponsor it," Lin Jian said to Lin Xuwen, "It's best to do this before the war." ”

The Jinsoin is a member of the Jinjuin according to the county, who is responsible for reporting the situation of the county to the imperial court, and is also responsible for timely disseminating the situation of the imperial court and other counties to the subordinate county, and conveying the imperial court's edicts and letters.

Above the official of the march, the consul general of the court was placed in the court, and the government affairs hall was under the jurisdiction of the Shangshu sect.

After Emperor Yongxing ascended the throne in Jiangning, his jurisdiction was drastically reduced, and he wanted to strengthen the centralization, abandon the county division, and directly govern the state capital, and the scale of the Jinjuan Yuan expanded again, and there were more than 30 officials in the state capital and towns. After Emperor Yongxing returned to Jiangning, the county department was officially abolished and not used, and another camp was placed to govern the military and government, that is, the camp and the state capital had the right to advance and were directly governed by the center.

Previously, Yuan Guizheng was a subordinate to the ministry and led the envoy to the Academy.

Lin Mengde asked, "Does the lord want to officially set up a mansion newspaper?" ”

Lin Lian nodded and said: "Yan Hu has shown signs of sending troops in the western Qin region as early as mid-August, after the first trial, Yan Hu's use of troops in the Guanshan region this time will be longer than the last time, and the destruction will be more thorough, and obviously we will end the war in Jiangxi before next year, and we need more means to consolidate the foundation." ”

The Jinsoin is an institution that has been handed down from above, and it only plays the role of vicarious inheritance, and the rank of the Jinsoin envoy is only from the fifth grade, but compared to the secret intelligence system, the Jinsoin and the Supervision Yuan are the only two places that can gather information from all over the world.

Of course, in Lin Bin's eyes, the newspaper run by the Academy of Performances has a more important role.

The Di Bao undertaken by the Jinju Academy collected the latest information from various places and the center, distributed it to the capital and the state capitals, and allowed the state governments to be engraved and sold to the local gentry, which can be said to be the prototype of the official newspapers and periodicals of the time. It's just that traditionally, Di Bao simply gathered the situation in the center and various places to convey it to all parties, and did not play a role in guiding public opinion.

The matter of Di Bao, Lin Jian had discussed it with Lin Xuwen and them earlier, but the previous ideas were not mature enough, and his grasp of the situation in Jiangning was not solid enough, so he kept pressing it.

Lin Lian was the first to say this when he came back, Lin Xuwen knew that Lin Lian should be mature in his consideration, and Song Fu and Gao Zongting had been with Lin Lian for so long, and they should have had many discussions, and they promised with a mouthful: "Cheng, I'll write a recommendation ......when I go back."

The Di Bao itself was delivered to the state capital in a timely manner with the help of the post, and it was also the only channel for the gentry and people everywhere to have fair access to the imperial court and comprehensive news from all over the country - Lin Jian had a very heavy propaganda memory of later generations, and of course knew that the status of Di Bao was difficult to replace. It's just that the propaganda role of Di Bao has not yet been excavated by the world.

No matter how stubborn the brains of the world are, it is difficult for most people to hold on to their own opinions - the key is that there are very few channels for people to accept outside information, except for the newspapers, notices posted by the government, and the hearsay of peddlers, pawns, merchants, and tourists, the vast majority of people have almost no channels to contact the outside world.

In addition to announcing to the public in real time the news and decrees of the central and local authorities, the main thing is to make the newspaper a core tool for discussing new policies and new studies, disseminating new policies and new studies.

From the beginning of May to the rendezvous in Chongzhou, Lin Jian asked Chen Huazhang to accompany him around the land of Jianghuai for most of the circle. For almost four months, Chen Huazhang did not leave Lin Tie. After returning to Jiangning, Lin Lian officially recommended Chen Huazhang to enter the Academy, in fact, so that he could have a systematic and deep understanding of the new policies implemented by Huaidong and the new studies he admired.

Only in this way can Chen Huazhang comprehend Lin Lian's intentions, and convey the ideas of the New Deal and New Learning through the tool of Di Bao, instead of simply taking charge of the Jinju Academy, and keeping abreast of the latest developments in various state capitals for Huaidong.

When it comes to the understanding of the new school and the old and new political systems, Zhao Shuhan is not willing to be left behind, and the "Craftsman's Dictionary" compiled by him is about to be completed, and the first six volumes have also begun to be printed. Lin Jian originally wanted Zhao Shuhan to serve as the envoy of the Academy, but Zhao Shuhan was a beginner in miscellaneous studies at the beginning, but at this time, like Zhang Yubo, he became more and more conservative.

This kind of thing is very idealistic, and if the pen is crooked, it may become the public opinion position of the royalist hall. Lin Jian would rather ask Zhao Shuhan to enter the Ministry of Industry to do some practical things, rather than ask him to be in charge of the affairs of the newspaper.

Lin Jian also said: "There is only one small-scale engraving workshop under the jurisdiction of the Jinjuanyuan, after all, the number of newspapers engraved before is small, and it only needs to be distributed to the state capitals and the six central departments, and then the state capitals copy and sell privately, which is not under the jurisdiction of the Jinjuanyuan; In the future, the amount of printing will be greatly increased, and the scale of the previous engraving workshop will be too small......"

"Maybe you can give the impression to the Ye family." Lin Mengde said.

The Ye family that Lin Mengde said is the Dongyang Ye family, not the Mingzhou Ye family.

Ye Kai and his father, father and son have been printing books in Jiangning for two generations, and Zhengyetang is the largest bookstore in Jiangning today. The prison book co-authored by Lin Jian and Zhao Shuhan in his early years was also printed by Zhengyetang.

Lin Jian said: "The specific printing is still prepared by Chen Gong, and I won't talk about it in detail here......"

The matter of Di Bao was discussed in detail with Chen Huazhang and others on the way.

The Concert House should contract all the issues of the Di Newspaper, and the half month is an issue, which will be distributed by the Chuanyi Prefecture and County, and the officials and gentlemen and the people must purchase it from the Chuanyi, and it is strictly forbidden to print it privately; Jiangning, Chongzhou, Weiyang, Pingjiang, Hangzhou, Mingzhou and other large cities with many households have also been handed over to Chuanyi to set up a number of sales points in the city.

Huaidong's movable type printing technology is more mature, in large-scale printing, compared with the traditional engraving printing in the cost and printing speed has a great advantage, but the initial eight-page booklet of the new style of the newspaper, a printing cost is also about 20 yuan.

The initial price is set at 100 yuan, 24 issues a year, and the total price is 2,400 yuan, which is not something that ordinary families can afford.
