On this day, the Imperial Daily was a big seller again, for no other reason than that the emperor was getting married, and the queen was from Xiangfu County, Henan. It was a joyous day. And for some reason, a sentence was leaked from the conversation between the emperor and the religious circles that day.

Come out and be impartial, which is exactly what the saying goes: "Everyone is like a dragon."

I only wish that all my people would be like dragons.

This sentence immediately ignited inexplicable emotions in everyone's hearts. Coupled with the background of the emperor's wedding, the entire capital fell into a state of joy.

On that day, the matters discussed by Zhu Youxiao and the Taoist sect gradually began to ferment. The first to take action was the Baiyun Temple of the capital. They took the lead in launching the legend that the Haotian God descended to earth to experience and accumulate merits. They began to set up shrines and worship with incense. Then the emperor

At this time of marriage, the legend of the arrival of Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of Heaven, spread instantly.

In just a few days, the legend spread throughout the capital, and everyone believed it firmly. Sixteen years ago, the people in the capital experienced the vision of purple energy coming from the east and filling the sky. Originally, the people had little regard for the emperor.

There are quite a few statements, and now even Taoist masters admit them, so how can they still be false?

Immediately, those whose families had children serving as soldiers in the Central Army immediately spent money to bring home a tablet with God Haotian engraved on the front and Zhu Youxiao's name on the back from Baiyun Temple, and worshiped it day and night.

stand up.

God Haotian is the righteous god worshiped by the imperial courts of all dynasties, and is also the god with the highest status in the Chinese nation. God Haotian has a far higher status than the three pure and four emperors in Taoism, and using this to refer to Zhu Youxiao is far higher than what he had previously defined

The successor of the Jade Emperor is much better. In the future, as long as there is more publicity and the names of Haotian God and Zhu Youxiao are linked, people will only remember Zhu Youxiao as Haotian God.

As for the newspapers, they did not report much on this. Instead, they invited many people to analyze the sentence "Everyone is like a dragon" and demonstrate from various angles what it means to be like a dragon and how to achieve the goal of "everyone is like a dragon".

.

In a word, the emperor is doing it for everyone's good, and hopes that everyone will live a good life. Come and follow the emperor's teachings.

Under the leadership of Yang Lian, the Imperial Daily has established branches in various places, and water conservancy printing plants have also been established in various places. Although this will cause the diffusion of technology, it is worthwhile to reduce printing costs.

The spread of the Imperial Daily has allowed his influence to spread throughout the world. Although the farthest places are half a month behind the capital to see the latest issue of the newspaper, this is already more natural than before.

It was much better, it usually took two or three months at that time.

Although newspapers are a new thing, people with foresight can see the huge opportunities in it at a glance. But unfortunately, the emperor has already issued a strict order. Currently, only one organization, the Imperial Daily, is allowed to exist. All other private newspapers are allowed to exist.

He was exiled to Liaodong and sentenced to three years of hard labor.

At present, Zhu Youxiao will never allow other forces to intervene in the public opinion market. He also wants to use the vast influence of newspapers to guide the reform of the entire empire.

After the Imperial Daily spread across the country, it also became Zhu Youxiao's other eyes and ears. The knowledge from various places was brought to the capital through the reporters stationed there. Different from the concerns of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, these people often focused on people's livelihood and government orders.

The influence, interesting stories about local celebrities and the like made Zhu Youxiao feel refreshed and understand the goings-on below better.

Of course, such a vast layout naturally consumes a lot of manpower. The Empire Daily is published every three days, and often the first batch of people to deliver new newspapers have not arrived yet, and the next batch has set off again, which consumes a lot of manpower.

Just imagine.

However, such huge consumption has also led to the expansion of the influence of the Imperial Daily. Many people have regarded the daily as their only source of information about the outside world. Now they don't like to hear what scholars tell about distant things.

Prefer them to read the newspaper.

There are not many things that scholars can talk about, and they are often not far apart, but the daily newspapers are different. There are all kinds of interesting stories, as well as interpretations of many of His Majesty's decrees. The distance is also far and wide, as far as Liaodong and Guizhou in the south.

, let these ordinary people who have never left the county town in their lives understand for the first time that the boundaries of the Ming Dynasty turned out to be like this.

Especially the logo of the Empire Daily News - a map of the territory of the Ming Empire, is the favorite of these ordinary people. It is the first time for them to know that the country they live in is like this. It is really a great experience.

Just as the capital was decorating with lanterns and colors and preparing for the emperor's wedding, all parts of the country were also busy. On August 7, the first autumn ceremony was about to begin.

In Southern Zhili, there are many things to do, so this exam is still held in Nanjing City, Yingtian Prefecture. After all, dividing provincial boundaries is a troublesome matter, and Qiu Wei cannot wait for anyone, so he can only take care of the provincial exam first.

Today's Nanjing city is still lively and prosperous, and there is no trace of the impact of the war on it. The damage caused by the hundreds of artillery fires a few months ago has long disappeared today. On the contrary, because of the influx of students from various prefectures in South Zhili, it is even more...

Three points of prosperity.

This year's rural examination is completely different from the past. The number of places for candidates in various provinces has doubled, and the number of cultural and educational provinces such as Zhejiang, Nanzhili, and Jiangxi has tripled, and the number of places is three times that of before.

The large number made people from all walks of life tempted.

Those who did not plan to take the exam in the past, or did not want to take the exam so early, are now rushing over. Whether it is various rumors or the emperor's unusual actions, they all indicate that there will be some changes in the imperial exam in the future, and those who can take the exam early will be better off.

What this has caused is that all the inns in Nanjing are full and all the inns and even the firewood sheds have been rented out. However, there are still more students who have no place to live and can only borrow private houses.

Chen Zhenhui and Zhang Pu walked easily on the streets. The two of them were walking on the streets. The two of them had the foresight to stay in Nanjing and never left. Except for Chen Zhenhui who returned home once because of the scholar examination, they have lived here ever since, even if Wei Guogong rebelled.

in this way.

At this moment, as people who had personally experienced the Battle of Nanjing, the two of them spread out on the street after seeing the Gongyuan, chatting together and exchanging information on the tragic situation of the major families in South Zhili after they suppressed the rebellion, especially

The affairs of the Xu family of Wei Guogong and the Xu family of Songjiang Prefecture. After the confiscation of the houses of these two families, the acres of land and wealth they received were jaw-dropping.

At this time, what they were communicating about was the emperor's disposition of the fields obtained by confiscating the family's property.

"Your Majesty used these acres to set up an imperial estate and distributed them to the landless people for farming without charging land rent. This is really a benevolent government. The daily newspaper said that Your Majesty is the Holy Emperor who came to this world. It really makes some sense." Chen Zhenhui said with emotion, obviously.

I really appreciate the establishment of Huangzhuang.

"Dingsheng, there is a difference between these words. On the surface, Huangzhuang seems to be a good government, but in the long run, it has caused the empire to lose a lot of tax revenue. You must know that these farmers are very cunning. Seeing that Huangzhuang is so good, they will definitely donate, so

Come on..." Zhang Pu didn't finish what he said, but Chen Zhenhui obviously understood what he meant.

He even thought further. If the country cannot harvest, the landowners will naturally not be able to harvest either. The landless peasants have gone to plant in panic. Naturally, no one will farm for them. The farmers will also not receive the benefits.

They have all donated their land to the Imperial Mansion, so who would come to them to donate their land? No one has donated their land, so how can they reap the benefits and use their means to take the donated land as their own?

Chen Zhenhui's family is not ordinary. They have land and land, and some people are serving as officials in the court. Although he is not very clear about these activities, he also knows a little bit through the influence of his ears and eyes. At this moment, when he makes the connection, he realizes with horror that it is really as Zhang Pu said.

As said, not only will the country lose taxes, but the gentry who buy land and real estate will also have much less harvest.

But, is it still a bad thing if the emperor does a good thing and exempts himself from land rent?

Chen Zhenhui thought blankly, no matter from which point of view, it was a good thing that the emperor did not collect rent and gave the land to farmers for cultivation. How come it became a bad thing when it came to the mouth of eldest brother Zhang Pu? Chen Zhenhui was young.

In my heart, I couldn't turn around for a moment, and I couldn't figure it out.

Zhang Pu could see Chen Zhenhui's expression, and the dull look on her face made him slightly disappointed. He sighed, "She is still too young, not experienced enough, and has not experienced much in the world."

He pulled Chen Zhenhui's sleeve and said, "Dingsheng, don't think about it. I was thinking about it when I went back. There seems to be a student over there who forgot to bring money and has no money to pay the bill. Let's go and have a look."

"Oh, okay." Chen Zhenhui, who is still relatively simple and kind-hearted at heart, heard that a student was in trouble, and she didn't care about the philosophical issue of who was right and who was wrong. She hurriedly went over to check the situation and see if the other student needed help.

This was taught to him by the adults in his family. The literary style of Nanzhili is at its peak. Who knows whether the down-and-out scholar he meets on the street will turn around and become the top scholar in high school. Therefore, the students here are more charitable and charitable.

Whenever you are in trouble, help me every time.

This can be regarded as a kind of favor investment, which may be used in the future. This shows that the ancients had a long-term vision.

"Old man, this... I came out to compare prices in a hurry and left my wallet at the inn. How about I leave this jade pendant here with you and I go back to get the money." After eating a snack on the street, Lu Xiangsheng said.

It was only then that I suddenly realized that I had forgotten to bring my wallet.

He came to Nanjing City the day before yesterday. After entering the city, he discovered how popular Nanjing City was. Fortunately, he also had acquaintances here and asked someone to help book an inn in advance, so that he would not have no place to stay. He is also just now

When I came back from Gongyuan after viewing the venue, I walked to this stall. I was aroused by the delicious food on the stall, so I sat down and ate it. After eating, I realized that I came out in a hurry and didn't bring my money bag.

After saying those words, he was quite embarrassed. He was tall and in shape, he ate a lot, and his jade pendant was relatively expensive. He didn't know if the old man was willing to keep it and let him go back to get the money.

"Master Maocai was joking. You can tell that this jade pendant is extremely valuable at a glance. My stall is so small, how dare I accept it?" As expected, the old man setting up the stall waved his hands repeatedly and did not dare to accept the jade pendant. This is also common sense.
