Chapter 64                                                                                                                             �

Although it cannot limit the keywords, it can limit the rampant behavior of folk printing to a certain extent. Generally speaking, the bookstores that want to buy books must be registered with the Ministry of Rites. Of course, Zhou Mengchen also knew that printing technology was not a high-tech in the Ming Dynasty. If you are willing, printing in private is not a difficult task.

Of course the cost is another matter.

Even as long as the price is high, a regular book printing shop may not be able to accept private goods.

The management of the Ming Dynasty government has not reached the point of being very detailed.

Zhou Mengchen knew this, and Jiajing was not completely unaware of it. Zhou Mengchen changed his words and said, "Your Majesty, I think that even if there is a lot of harm in newspapers, I will never give up only one advantage."

Jiajing said, "What's the point?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "Transport to the top and the bottom. Your Majesty is in the nine levels. What you see is what all officials see, and what you hear is what all officials hear. Even if Your Majesty loves the people, the kindness is hard to be close to Shuli. Your Majesty's intelligence is also clouds and clouds, and the things in newspapers, together with the upper and lower levels, the court's government orders can be sent to the people through newspapers. The people with suffering and grievances can also reach the sky through newspapers. The things in newspapers are white-clothed censors and no seals. In this way, few people want to hide the affairs of the world from Your Majesty, and the grace of Your Majesty will be one step closer to the people."

"Even if there are unfilial people, they cannot cover the sky with one hand. Your Majesty is in the nine levels and is clearly aware of it thousands of miles away. Who can hide it from Your Majesty?"

Jiajing was immediately moved when he heard this.

For someone like Jiajing who is seriously ill, this function of the newspaper is simply a stare at the sky, so that if he is not moved, he will not be moved.

He has always wanted to maintain a relatively balance in the cabinet. It is because he actually knows that even if he reuses factory guards, overall, the information channels of factory guards cannot be compared with those of the Ming government.

One person in the cabinet takes power, which can easily cut off the communication between the upper and lower levels, making Jiajing a deaf and blind man. This is a taboo for the king. Therefore, he wants to fight in the cabinet, and he maintains a balance. When two people who are not dealing with each other, Jiajing is the referee. Only in this way can he maintain his transcendent status and not have to be in charge of things.

If the newspaper can really do this, then other disadvantages can be forgiven.

In particular, Jiajing has always had a worry, that is, how his stupid son should control his ministers. In the Ming system, the Censorate was the Censorate. But in fact, the Censorate's supervision function over all officials was almost gone.

I hope that the Censorate supervises all officials, I am afraid that the people below will enter the palace. I don’t know what happened in the palace.

But Jiajing was doubtful whether the newspaper could do such a thing.

Jiajing asked, "Can this tabloid really do such a thing?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "Your Majesty, I am going to make the official newspaper independent, establish a new yamen, and hold it under the Ministry of Rites to act independently and not be subject to checks and balances in all aspects. I also feel that in the future, new Jinshi can be trained in the official newspaper, give them a year to travel to the local area, collect the people's feelings, and collect any strange grievances, or cruel officials, civil servants and thieves, all of them will be on the official newspaper and tell the world."

The word "People collection" was not created by later journalists. Instead, it is a very ancient word. The first one to collect the "Book of Songs", and the style it collects is also the national style in the Fengyi Song.

It is the emperor who sent officials to collect local folk songs and collect local folk songs.

It can be said that it has a long history.

Jiajing knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. He said, "What is the difference between this and the inspector?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "The Jinshi sent only has the right to understand the people's sentiments, but does not have the right to judge. All they have to do is expose all the darkness in the world to the light of the sky."

"And this thing is not only something that the official newspaper can do, but also newspapers from all sides can do. In this way, there is anything in the world that can be quite concealed by Your Majesty. It is much better than the censor's news."

After hearing this, Jiajing was a little moved. It seemed that this method was much better than that of the censor.

Moreover, if there are so many eyes to look at it, many things will be in full view of the public, and the ministers will have fewer private affairs. In this way, it seems that the emperor will be more likely to rule.

The stupid son who is more suitable for him. However, he has not drawn a conclusion immediately. He knows that Xu Jie and Zhou Mengchen are not in line. Many major events cannot be listened to one side. If you listen to both sides, you will be clear. That is, you must not only listen to the opinions of this person, but also listen to the opinions of this person.

Jiajing asked Xu Jie, "Gemaster Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Jie looked at Zhou Mengchen with complicated eyes.

Jiajing may have been led by Zhou Mengchen. But Xu Jie did not. Xu Jie looked at the problem accurately. The newspaper seemed to pass the following news to the emperor, so that the emperor would not be deceived and had greater autonomy. But in fact, it was the enlarged public opinion of Shi Lin that had not been too great.

You should know that the so-called public opinion of the Shilin people before was actually those who were officials. Just like Zuoshunmen, no matter how powerful the trouble was, there would be only a few hundred people. For most people in Beijing, there was only one more topic of discussion, and it was even a topic of discussion that they only knew afterwards. If such a thing happened again, I am afraid that within ten days, all the scholars and officials in the world would discuss this matter.

If there are things like Zuoshun Sect, it is probably not so easy for the emperor to be an official.

Of course, Xu Jie also ignored one thing. The public opinion he thought of was the public opinion of the scholars and officials. He naturally felt that guiding the public opinion in the newspaper must be the scholars and officials, not others.

It was as if he caught Gao Gong off guard today, but in essence, it was a battle between scholars and officials.

However, it is hard to say whether the citizens' consciousness and the rise of business groups will be able to control public opinion in newspapers in the future.

It is precisely because Xu Jie thought so in his heart that even though he disliked Zhou Mengchen very much and regarded him as his opponent. Even though he suffered a loss in the newspaper, he still had to speak for Zhou Mengchen.

Xu Jie said: "Traveling in the field is the king's policy. Your Majesty's administration is the retro king's way and the goodness of goodness."

When Jiajing heard Xu Jie say this, he might have some doubts in his heart, but he didn't say much. He said, "Since that's the case, Zhou Qing will let go. The cabinet must cooperate with him with all his strength."

Xu Jie said: "Your Majesty, what Gao Gong does----"

Jiajing naturally said that Hanlin was not allowed to enter the cabinet without Hanlin. Jiajing felt a move in his heart and said, "Is there any clear rule regarding Hanlin not allowed to enter the cabinet without Hanlin?"

Xu Jie said: "This is not. But there are examples in the past."

Jiajing said lightly: "Since there is no clear text, what Gao Gong said, what is the so-called "come? Just let it go after the cabinet scolding you."

After hearing this, Xu Jie had to admit that Jiajing was very clever in many things. This matter brought ambiguity to the extreme. Jiajing's instructions could be understood no matter how he understood it.

It can be understood that Gao Gong's opinion has come into effect. That is, the statement that the Hanlin is not allowed to enter the cabinet does not exist in itself, but is just a previous misunderstanding. It can also be understood that Gao Gong is troublesome. Since there is no explicit statement that the Hanlin is not allowed to enter the cabinet, this statement still exists.

This is the unspoken rule.

However, Xu Jie tends to the former. How is it specific depends on who the next person to enter the cabinet?

Only by his background can we verify that Jiajing is facing there.

And who is the most likely person in the cabinet?

Xu Jie looked at Zhou Mengchen.

After the discussion, Xu Jie and Zhou Mengchen left the palace together.

Xu Jie intended to walk with Zhou Mengchen, and the two walked in the corridor in the palace. Xu Jie said, "Mr. Zhou, Gao Gong can be regarded as clearing the obstacles to entering the pavilion for you. It should be noted that Gao Manzi himself is also from the Hanlin family."

Zhou Mengchen said, "You are polite to the chief assistant. Can I, Zhou, be the one who can touch Gao Manzi? It's just Gao Manzi's own thoughts."

Xu Jie said, "Is that true? Does Lord Zhou know what it means to add to the snake?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "Prime Minister, is this a test for me? Although I am not from a Hanlin family, how can I not know these simple allusions?"
