Zhu Youzhen could imagine that in the future, there would be many imperial histories and many civil officials who would impeach Li Yanzhi. For those imperial historians, impeachment doesn't require evidence at all, some hearsay evidence is enough.

Of course, these impeachments can't help Li Yanzhi, because there are enough human and material evidence to prove that the Huang Zheng brothers really deserve it.

However, the investigation will take time, and it will be necessary to send personnel from the three legal divisions from the DPRK to Fujian, and perhaps some civil officials will suggest that Li Yanzhi be transferred back to Beijing to be investigated, which will waste a lot of time. If things go to this point, it will inevitably have a great impact on the operation of the Royal Maritime Trade Company, and this is probably what the Fujian gentry want to see.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen can also ignore it at all, and leave all the impeachment recitals in the middle. As long as he, the emperor, doesn't spit out, no one can help Li Yanzhi.

But this will be very disgusting, Zhu Youzhen will feel disgusting, and Li Yanzhi will be very uncomfortable. Zhu Youzhen doesn't want to see that his henchmen are opening up territory for the Ming Dynasty and sweating blood and sweat for the Ming Dynasty, but they are misunderstood by the people of the world as traitors and evil officials, which will chill the hearts of his subordinates!

What? Take out evidence to return Li Yan's innocence?

How to return?

You must know that most of the people in the world are illiterate, and most of what they know and understand is from taverns and teahouses, from people like the teacher and storyteller.

Therefore, public opinion is actually in the hands of the gentry scholars. As long as the gentry are willing, they can say that the white is black and the black is white!

After all, the court is too far away from ordinary people, and decisions at the court level cannot enter the ears of ordinary people at all.

Zhu Youzhen, who traveled to later generations, made it clear that public opinion is useless and useless, and it is very useful to say that it is useful, if it is used well, it is completely possible to use public opinion to kill people!

So, how can public opinion be in the hands of those who read? But how?

"Emperor, the old slave has a way." Cao Huachun said suddenly.

"Oh?" Zhu Youzhen said with interest, "You might as well talk about it." ”

"We can attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son," Cao Huachun said with a smile, "Didn't those gentry write the lyrics of the script for people to rap?" We can too. ”

"We can find someone to write a script and write the truth of the matter, Jinyi Weidong Factory has tens of thousands of fans, and it is completely possible to assign tasks to these people and let them go around to tell people, or we can order Jinyiwei to arrest the storytellers in Beijing and order them to tell the story according to our script. In this way, it will not take many days, and public opinion will inevitably reverse completely. ”

"Not bad, not bad." Zhu Youzhen laughed, "This method is good." However, it is possible to flip public opinion in Beijing, but what about other provinces, in all parts of Jiangnan? ”

"Uh......" Cao Huachun laughed awkwardly.

Jinyi Weidong Factory has a huge influence in Beijing, but it is not good in other places, and public opinion in other places still cannot be reversed.

"What should I do?" Cao Huachun is embarrassed.

Zhu Youzhen smiled: "I have a way." ”

What's the solution? Of course, it's a newspaper. Running a newspaper for nationwide distribution and distributing it nationwide through the post station system of the Jinyi Waiwei completely changed public opinion.

"Is it the same as Di Bao?" Cao Huachun asked.

There was a newspaper in the Ming Dynasty, which was the official Di Bao, and every month the major events and decisions that occurred in the imperial court would be sent to the whole country in the form of Di Bao. However, the scope of the newspaper is limited, and only people with official status can see it, which is equivalent to internal reference.

"What I want to run is a newspaper that is truly oriented to the public, divided into sections such as real politics, anecdotes and entertainment, and storytelling, which are written in the vernacular, and can be understood by anyone who is a little literate!" Zhu Youzhen thought about the newspaper model of later generations and said slowly.

"Vernacular newspapers, this, this ......" Cao Huachun didn't know how to say it. This is not elegant at all.

"I don't want to be elegant, as long as it's easy to understand!" Zhu Youzhen said lightly, "The people work hard all day long, but because they are shy, they can't go to the Qinglou restaurant for entertainment like the gentry and wealthy businessmen, if there is such a newspaper, it will definitely be very popular." My newspaper is aimed at these ordinary people, the vast majority of them! ”

"That's good!" Cao Huachun quickly understood, "The people can learn the truth through this newspaper, and they will no longer casually listen to the nonsense of those gentry!" ”

"However, the manpower of running a newspaper is easy to say, and we all have the manpower for engraving and printing, but someone has to write the content of the newspaper, and we don't have such people." Cao Huachun is embarrassed. Originally, it was to take back the right to speak from the readers, and the content of the newspaper had to be written by the readers, so how could it work.

"I was quite smart just now, but now I'm confused!" Zhu Youzhen scolded with a smile, "The newspaper we run is all in the vernacular, how much knowledge do you need?" ”

"What kind of scholars do you need, there are many down-and-out literati who can't pass the exam, and they only need to give them money to write something? And those who tell stories and sing songs, who can't read? He is best at making up some small stories.

Of course, when it comes to court decrees, professional scholars are also needed to write them, and the palace study hall doesn't graduate a lot of little eunuchs every year, and their knowledge is not much worse than those who show talents, and they can be responsible for this part.

By the way, you can start the agriculture and industry sector again, and ask those people from the Royal Academy to write manuscripts and publish some papers on arithmetic, geometry, and mechanics, so as to improve the newspaper. By the way, you can also ask those Xiyi professors to write some Xiyi observations, so that my people can know some of the worlds outside the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Your Majesty, please stop for now, the old slave will find a paper and write it down." Cao Huachun hurriedly said, hurriedly went to find a pen and paper, pouted his butt and personally recorded Zhu Youzhen's words.

Zhu Youzhen came up with interest, and while pacing in the hall, he continued: "A eunuch from the hall is specially assigned from the celebrant to be responsible for this matter, and more than a dozen learned eunuchs are selected from the inner study to serve as reviewers and editors, and silver is allocated from the inner treasury to set up a printing workshop, which is responsible for engraving and printing, and then sold to Beijing and outside Beijing through the Jinyi Waiwei post system. However, those who provide manuscripts to the newspaper and are accepted will be given a certain amount of manuscript fees, ranging from two taels of silver to more than a dozen taels, and should not be too stingy.

After the newspaper is printed, it is sold to the society, the price is not too high, a dozen copper coins can be a piece, as long as the sales volume is too large, the sales income is enough to maintain a cost. ”

Cao Huachun wrote hard to record, writing sweating profusely.

"Your Majesty, you have to give the newspaper a name." After recording the last word, Cao Huachun reminded.

"Name?" Zhu Youzhen smiled, "For the time being, let's call the royal people." ”

Cao Huachun was a little speechless, okay, you have to hang the word royal for everything!
