Chapter 16 Ta Kung Pao
In fact, Li Zicheng's choice of concubines is not a reason for being lustful. Li Zicheng is really not a lustful person! But Prime Minister Niu said, how can an emperor have no few concubines? Prime Minister Niu raised the selection of concubines to a height that concerns the national system. Li Zicheng also felt that if the emperor did not have two decent concubines to support his family, it would indeed damage the national system, and it was not because he disliked the yellow-faced woman. Moreover, Gao Guiying also strongly agreed with Prime Minister Niu's statement: Usually, people have to marry concubines if they have two spare money, so how can our dignified emperor have no few concubines? In this case, then choose! Prime Minister Niu also said that with His Majesty's heroic spirit and in his prime, a wealthy family will definitely flock to him. At that time, the selection of concubines will be unprecedented.
Oh my god, if Niu Jinxing was born in later generations, he would definitely be the planner of "Super Girl".
The selection of concubines stipulates that all women aged 14 to 17 must take the initiative to report to the "Dashun Emperor Concubine Selection Department". Notices are posted all over the city blocks, and minor officials beat gongs to inform citizens. The selection department responded to the female officials and eunuchs, led by the Prime Minister Dashun Niu Jinxing, were preparing to welcome the beautiful women in Beijing to report.
As a result, Prime Minister Niu felt a little disappointed. Many people came, but there were only a few beauties related to Prime Minister Niu’s standards! Some beautiful girls from some small families are not very popular. Niu Xiang doesn’t like them very much. He doesn’t think they are as good as big families. Although they can barely pass the test, they are not very satisfied. Niu Xiang then investigates why girls of the right age of a wealthy family are not polite. People who have returned from the investigation have many arguments. Some say that their own women
The son has been sent to Mr. Liu's mansion. Some say that his daughter is either under 14 years old or she has already been married. The last servant reported that the girls from wealthy families have hidden themselves and do not want to choose any concubines. There are even rumors that marrying chickens and dogs is better than marrying Dashun as a concubine. There are even rumors that the so-called "selecting concubines is to choose virgins to sacrifice to heaven. Therefore, wealthy families rarely send girls to the selection because of various rumors.
In addition to these rumors, the new rumors are that after Dashun Army robbed the women of wealth in Beijing, they patted their butts and wanted to go back to Xi'an. Before returning, they would burn Beijing. This rumor is obviously a clumsy rumor made up by rumor-mongers, which is not worth refuting. However, this rumor is circulating in the streets and alleys of Beijing. The majority of people who do not know the truth will always be the most. When they see the situation of Dashun Army, they first test to plunder money, and then search for beauties. Seeing their spirit of fishing in the waters, they are more and more like running away. So "the wind helps the fire, and the fire borrows the power of the wind", the evil fire of this rumor is in a prairie fire. Soon, the lower-level officers of Dashun Army came to the superior generals to inquire when they would go back to Xi'an. Some soldiers below had bad sheep and stealing behaviors, and they were in groups of three or three, and there was a trend of scale.
Niu Zai was very troubled because some people had already reported to Li Zicheng. Some people criticized that this was made by Niu Jinxing's selection of concubines, and of course some people pointed out that this was the bad impact caused by Liu Zongmin's indulgence in his subordinates to increase the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase in the increase. Even the sixth-rank seventh-rank officials and those who were honest in business were detained, and some of them were not.
The honest officials of some money were also detained. Now the neighbors in the city started to put up leaflets, saying that Li Zicheng would not change his habits and would leave after robbing them. Liu Zongmin killed a few people who posted leaflets, but he was still banned. The more Li Zicheng heard it, the more frightened he became. The rumors and flyers were so rampant that the power of the abdication ceremony could not suppress the evil fire. He hurriedly asked Song Xiance to discuss with Li Yan, thinking that these two people were still prepared for danger in times of peace, and I wonder if there was any way to eliminate the current bad influence.
In theory, Li Yan was an expert in rumor planning, such as: "Eat his mother, wear him, and don't pay food when the King of Breaking comes." For example, "Eighteen Sons are the main artifacts", Li Yan is the initiator. But spreading rumors is one thing, and refuting rumors is another thing. The rumor maker who cannot get along with Dashun Dynasty, can be the maker of the rumor who is tragic and has suffered heavy losses from the stolen money and the stakeholders. If you kill him, he will make your rumors. The heavens are circulating, and the retribution is unhappy. Song Xiance and Li Yan's suggestion is nothing more than stopping the recovery of stolen money and the selection of concubines as soon as possible. There is nothing to stop recovering stolen money and helping the funds, and it will be stopped long ago. However, stopping the selection of concubines is a great loss of royal face. If it is not announced to choose a concubine, it doesn't matter. Now he has already made a big announcement to choose a concubine in the world, but it ends in vain. Will the royal majesty be wiped out? Song Xiance and Li Yan are not good at advice again, and they are reluctant to leave.
Li Yan has been in contact with Chongzhen and Wang Chengen many times these days, and felt that Chongzhen had been in power for many years and had rich experience, and even Wang Chengen had some knowledge. When he was bored, he remembered to talk to Wang Chengen. It was a bit inappropriate to find Chongzhen, and he had no psychological burden to find the eunuch Wang Chengen, so he came and left as soon as he summoned him. Wang Chengen seemed to be almost forty, and he was still very enthusiastic when he rushed. When he heard Li Yan invited him, he hurried over.
Li Yan told Wang Chengen about the rumors, but in fact he didn't expect Wang Chengen to have any tricks. He just wanted to hear him say things like "This is really difficult to deal with", so he would be more psychologically balanced. Otherwise, he would always be in his heart and would be very depressed.
After hearing this, Wang Chengen thought to himself that I would remind you, these pigs, not to do anything. I would come up with the idea of "Ping Liao Public Debt", which was originally intended to leave some thoughts for the victims. But Liu Zongmin was going to do it sideways and do it all. Besides, you, Li Zicheng, first pick two palace maids in the palace to deal with it. Chongzhen's palace maids also have a few outstanding ones, and you are more than enough to be a local concubine of you, Li Zicheng, and it would not be too late to choose a concubine if you wait for the world to be determined.
Wang Chengen didn't know how powerful the rumors were. The famous saying in later generations that "repeat lies a thousand times will become the truth" is a famous saying. When the hearts of the people and the army are in chaos, Li Zicheng would not be able to stay in Beijing, and then he would be in vain to let the Qing soldiers get a bargain. He thought that there was no TV at this time, and he could not speak on TV, and he could not reveal the truth on TV. What if he did it!
There is no other way! Then I will issue a newspaper. Well, it cannot be a official copy newspaper like a newspaper like a newspaper. You can send a newspaper like a newspaper such as a Morning News Evening News and Metropolitan News. Anyway, there are 200 craftsmen in the inner palace who are the four treasures of the school and copy books, and there are also a group of scholars who have nothing to do. Li Zicheng chased a lot of money and would not care about spending a newspaper. I thought it was difficult to find the editor-in-chief of this newspaper, Li Yan? Or someone else? He could not come to the front of the stage anyway, so he could only be a hero behind the scenes. If the eunuchs were in charge of the news, well, this would be fine in the future.
I made up my mind, so I told Li Yan:
"Mr. Li, there is a problem with rumors and leaflets, which may resolve this storm."
"Please give me advice!"
"Mr. Li, it is difficult to make up for rumors and flyers. Just by taking the ban method, I am afraid that it will not solve the problem. It is better to prevent people than to prevent rivers. I remember that there is a way to learn from the "newspapers" of the barbarians. The "newspapers" of the barbarians are very different from the official current affairs records. The barbarians' newspapers have both official current affairs and public opinion, as well as novels, poems, and even debates among the public. For example, the beautiful news among flowers and interesting markets, as long as they can cater to the public's taste, they will be published. The official newspapers for newspapers include official current affairs and public opinion.
Paper is not allowed to be played. The official has a news inspection bureau that specializes in reviewing newspapers, so the direction of public opinion of newspapers is in control. According to the following, it is better to do so. Dashun can also set up a newspaper. Using this newspaper, one can divert attention and focus the public on the direction of "anti-Qing and Ping Liao". Why do you need to recover stolen money and provide money? Why do you need to issue 'Ping Liao bonds'? Just list the blood debts of the Tatars to our Han family over the years, and then warn that the Qing troops in the world are about to invade the south. This resistance to the "Ping Liao bonds" will gradually subside."
Wang Chengen took a sip of tea, and saw that Li Yan was very concerned about it, and continued:
"Secondly, for the recovery of stolen money, donated accounts for 60% of the recovery of stolen money. Why do you have to account for 60%? The newspaper may wish to calculate the accounts for readers to see if these powerful and powerful income are just right. For example, Wang Zhixin, how much is the 150,000 taels of silver is just right. Even if he earns 30 taels of silver per month, plus the reward of 50 taels of silver per month, it is only 600 taels a year, and if he doesn't eat or drink for 100 years, he will only save 600 taels of 60,000 taels of money. By doing this, his huge property is unknown! It is light to confiscate him 90,000 taels! After this account, the resistance to recovering stolen money will be weaker, and rumors and flyers will gradually disappear."
When Li Yan heard Wang Chengen's words, the more he listened, the more he felt reasonable. It was a good idea, and he praised:
"What the Eunuch Wang said is good. A good idea!"
Wang Chengen was proud and thought that you had never seen the newspapers of later generations! Think about the "gossip spirit" of third-rate tabloids, what kind of anecdotes, celebrity gossip, sometimes erotic photos, sometimes drug abuse, and even black whistle doors. Those who posted big-character posters in the late Ming Dynasty would be ashamed of the paparazzi in later generations! That's right, "gossip" will surely win against rumors.
"Mr. Li, I think that there is another trick to the rumors in the market, which is to open a column in the newspaper to publish some anecdotes, even grand events in brothels, fancy news, and so on, which turns the people's attention again. In addition, poetry and novels can also attract a group of readers. In this way, when the newspaper comes out, each has its own preferences. The Qingtan School saw the "anti-Qing and Ping Liao", the rumor saw the "secrets of the palace", the Taoist School saw the "lewdness", and the talented School saw the "entwinedness"... By then, the public opinion in the world was under control, so why fear the rumors were raging!" Wang Cheng'en shamelessly borrowed Lu Xun's words about "The Red Chamber" without hesitation.
"When I read the story of the prince, what name should this newspaper be used? Dashun Di newspaper? Or something else?" Li Yan asked humbly. Unexpectedly, although this prince was an eunuch, there was a lot of hills in his heart.
Wang Chengen thought to himself, what is the name of this newspaper? "Tingjinbao"? It is not appropriate! "Mingbao", well, the name of "Mingbao" in "Mingbao Weekly" founded by Jin Yong in later generations can be used in the future. Of course, Li Zicheng would not use it. He can't use "Liberation Daily" and "People's Daily"! Well, then use "Ta Kung Pao". The plan has been decided, so he said:
"I think that the Dashun country has adopted a national policy of equalizing land and exempting taxes. The equalizing land reflects 'fairness and justice', and running newspapers is open to public opinion. 'fairness, fairness and openness' is nothing more than just a word for public opinion. It is better to use 'Ta Kung Pao'."
When Li Yan heard that this "Ta Kung Pao" was simply tailor-made for Dashun. The newspaper can show the "Da Shun" and is of great good! Li Yan believed that Li Zicheng would definitely adopt the suggestion of founding the "Ta Kung Pao", but he was not sure about how to do this "Ta Kung Pao". Only Wang Chengen can have a little clue. He no longer hesitated, bowed to Wang Chengen to the end, and said:
"Li Yan received education today, and the subordinates immediately reported to our master, and he expected that our master would definitely adopt it. But if this matter is implemented, we must ask the prince to properly preside over it so that we can behave properly. I wonder what the prince's wishes?"
Wang Chengen said that I am a eunuch, and it is obviously inappropriate to host the newspaper. It is okay to be a manipulator behind the scenes. But I don’t want to wade too deeply by Li Zicheng’s muddy waters. I suddenly thought of a wonderful candidate - this candidate is Kim Zhijun. This Kim Zhijun, Dashun came to surrender Dashun, and the Qing Dynasty came to surrender Manchu. Although his backbone character is despised, he is definitely a talented master. The harmony planned by Kim Zhijun for Dorgon in history
The "Ten Follows Ten and Ten Not Follows" of national conflicts is notorious, but also takes great painstaking efforts. Later generations may not know what this "Ten Follows Ten Not Follows Ten Not Follows" is - "Men follows women, not follows life and death, not follow yang, not follow yin, not follow officials, not follow young, not follow Confucian follow monks and Taoists, not follow prostitutes, not follow prostitutes, officials follow marriage, not follow national titles, not follow official titles, not follow national titles, not follow taxes, not follow textual language." It generally refers to: a man shaved his head, combs his hair,
The woman still combed her original bun, and did not learn to comb her "two-handled head" or "swallow tail head" from the bannerwoman. ·····················································································································································································································································································································································································································································································
The "five lectures, four beauties, three loves" and "eight honors and eight shames" in later generations are obviously great talents. The sharp ethnic conflicts can be resolved with a simple "ten from ten not from ten", which shows how powerful this person's thoughts and literary thoughts are! Looking at the future generations, it is unlikely that there will be several newspaper editors who can compete with him. With Kim Ji-jun's talent, he is also the director of the Political Research Office and the director of the Propaganda Department, he can also be both good. Thinking of Kim Ji-jun, he smiled and said to Li Yan:
"It's not that I'm refusing. It's actually that I'm the next eunuch. I'm not valued by the literati Qingliu. I'm afraid that if I'm the next host, I'm ridiculed by the world. But if I recommend one person, this person will be competent."
"Who has such a talent?"
"This person is called Kim Zhijun. I heard that he had served Dashun. This person took the lead in presiding over the Ta Kung Pao. You only need to give a brief reminder to you in order to be at ease."
"Oh! Jin Zhijun, the subordinate, also knew that he was the Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty. It was said that he actively cooperated with the recovery of stolen goods and paid, and made a statement to our master. It seemed that Prime Minister Niu was also planning to make him the Minister of the Dashun Military Government. However, if my master attached importance to the Ta Kung Pao, it would not be difficult to transfer him to preside over the Ta Kung Pao."
Wang Chengen thought you should do it! The emperor is really not in a hurry to kill the eunuch! It turns out that I am just a wiping person, who is specifically for your wiping. It is not that I have to remedy everything if it is broken. I just repaired this place, but it leaked again. What is this!
