As usual, after listening to the quarrels and impeachments at the court meeting for more than an hour, Zhu Jianshen once again left the court with a darkened face and headed to Chengqian Palace.
Qiao Mu looked at him looking aggrieved and angry.
It was immediately clear that he was angry again.
In the past few days, it has been like this every day.
¡°Those officials made you angry again?¡±
Qiao Mu still wants to fulfill her original wish of becoming a wise empress through the ages, so she really doesn¡¯t dare to rush to the court and fight with those ministers now. This will not be good for her future reputation.
Therefore, we can only comfort Zhu Jianshen.
And give him advice.
When Zhu Jianshen heard Qiao Mu¡¯s question, he raised his head and signaled. The eunuchs and maids in Qiao Mu Palace immediately stepped back in a sensible manner. At this time, Zhu Jianshen growled in dissatisfaction:
"Those officials and nobles are so abominable. Each one of them is righteously criticizing me and scolding you. They almost call you and me King Zhou Daji.
I really wish I could take out their evidence on the spot and put them all on death row.
¡°Zhen¡¯er, I can¡¯t bear it anymore.
You don¡¯t have any way to stop them?
Do you know what the old guy at the Ministry of Revenue said today? He said that the money you earn is the royal money, and the royal money is the country¡¯s money, and should be included in the national treasury, not your private treasury.
He also said that the severe drought in the northwest will last for more than six months.
There is no money in the national treasury, so you are asked to provide money for disaster relief
When I wanted to take money from the national treasury, he tried to shirk it in every possible way. He also said that it was national tax revenue, not the royal public treasury, and must not be taken privately.
???????????????????????????????
But I can¡¯t say enough about him.
It really pisses me off! "
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Originally, I wanted to suppress this trump card a little bit, but now it seems that it is necessary to do this first.
Your Majesty, please wait a moment.
¡°I¡¯m going to get something¡¡±
It is not uncommon for the public opinion in the court, and even the general public opinion in the entire Ming Dynasty, to be controlled by civil and military officials. Qiao Mu has already prepared a response plan - newspapers and periodicals.
Just because the logistics system has not yet been established, the distribution and circulation of newspapers and periodicals is very problematic. Think about it, it takes half a month, or even more than half a month, for a newspaper to reach the Jiangnan area from the capital. What else is there about timeliness? Although newspapers and periodicals that are not timely can play a certain role in guiding people's public opinion, this is obviously not what Qiao Mu wants.
So she kept suppressing this matter.
Didn¡¯t implement it.
"But now it seems that if she doesn't publish newspapers and control public opinion, those officials and nobles are going to eat her alive, so the issue of publishing newspapers is already imminent and has to be done."
After saying that, Qiao Mu immediately turned around and went to the cabinet next to her, and took out a few mock newspapers that she had printed earlier, with the theme of official corruption evidence, without the names of newspapers and periodicals.
He walked back and handed it to Zhu Jianshen.
Zhu Jianshen, on the other hand, immediately took the newspaper handed to him by Qiao Mu and quickly scanned it.
He asked with some confusion:
¡°What do these articles mean?
¡°Is it possible that these articles should be written specifically to criticize civil and military officials in the court, or to threaten the court officials? But what is the use of doing so?
People won¡¯t buy these at all, right? "
¡°People can distribute it for free even if they don¡¯t buy it.
You should know that I created the logistics system before. If I spread this newspaper similar to Di Bao to the entire Ming Dynasty through the logistics system, does that mean that the vast majority of people will have the opportunity to see it? Basically, whatever His Majesty wants to say can be notified directly through this newspaper.
As long as this newspaper can circulate smoothly.
Then we won¡¯t be afraid of anyone slandering us.
At the same time, we can also selectively let the people know some things, so that certain officials will be ruined and infamy for thousands of years. No matter how many literati there are, they can't compete with these countless people, let alone stop the world from talking.
So the function of this thing is to give us the ability to guide the world.
Let the right to speak no longer be limited to the hands of literati.
Rather, it is in the hands of the royal family.
At the same time, we can even grant some local newspapersThe publication and distribution department is responsible for collecting information and intelligence, such as what disaster has occurred in a certain place, or official malfeasance, etc.
They can report the information directly.
?Sent to the capital through the logistics system.
By then, even if those officials want to conceal some things to deceive the public, it will be difficult for them to do so. "
There are many other benefits related to publishing newspapers, but Qiao Mu was too lazy to explain them one by one, and she didn't think Zhu Jianshen needed to know that much, so she only said some things that he wanted to know and could make him feel, Doing so will help him break the situation.
And this was enough to convince him.
¡°It sounds good, but it¡¯s free
How much money will it cost? "
In the past six months, Zhu Jianshen was dumbfounded and even distressed by the speed at which Qiao Mu spent money. He had trained 100,000 soldiers. So far, he had only spent a total of more than two million taels of silver. But what kind of logistics system did Qiao Mu build? Various workshops, what he knows so far has cost more than 20 million taels, and those who don't know still don't know how much they have spent. If newspapers and periodicals are distributed for free now.
He couldn¡¯t imagine how much it would cost.
It can be said that his heart is trembling.
It hurts, like a heart attack.
¡°Your Majesty, don¡¯t worry, I have already reformed papermaking and printing. Now the speed of papermaking and printing is not only many times faster than in the past.
The price is also much cheaper.
In addition, the businesses I have opened across the country will probably open in a while, and I need to print some leaflets for promotion. I plan to use this newspaper to print various political events and content that needs to be published, and at the same time print some more. Advertisements for my businesses.
This way I won¡¯t suffer too much.
Don't worry, Your Majesty, even if it is fully distributed for free, it won't actually cost much money in a year. Besides, I don't give out one copy to everyone for free. Generally speaking, it is basically enough for a county to distribute a few hundred copies for free. At the same time, let I have already hired storytellers to help publicize it. Reading it is enough to publicize the content in the newspaper, at least in various small and large counties.
The countryside can be a bit mysterious.
But for the time being, we can only do this step.
Let¡¯s work out the specifics slowly. "
In order to reassure Zhu Jianshen, Qiao Mu of course explained the specific situation again.
This is all she can think of right now.
The most appropriate method.
If you want to carry out the propaganda more deeply and penetrate into all the villages, not only do you need more people to be literate, but you also need to improve the living standards of the whole people. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult for some people to survive. Be in the mood to listen and learn about national affairs.
After all, it was something that he had never seen or used before. As for its specific effects, Zhu Jianshen really didn¡¯t dare to listen directly to Qiao Mu¡¯s advice, but at this time, he had no other choice but to try it first.
It has the best effect.
He won¡¯t suffer even if it doesn¡¯t work.
¡°Anyway, those civil servants have been nagging him lately, so it doesn¡¯t matter if they nag him a few more words.
"Okay, for the time being, I will try it in a few prefectures near the capital, but I also ask Your Majesty to give me a name for this newspaper, and also make a decree, that is, newspapers involving political content can only be run by the royal family, private Not allowed to be published.
Publishers and distributors are temporarily punished with death.
Although free circulation of newspapers and periodicals has given them an absolute advantage, there is no guarantee that civilized officials will not fight back due to the loss of their right to speak.
Therefore, it is better to make preparations in advance and set down specific distribution rules. When they discover the specific role of newspapers and periodicals, and then want to prohibit the publication of political content, the officials will be unwilling. "
Qiao Mu has done similar things in other ancient worlds, so he knows very well what kind of countermeasures these literati officials will adopt after discovering that newspapers and periodicals have eroded their right to speak.
They will definitely oppose it vigorously, slander the ban, or publish a newspaper to confront it.
The newspaper run by Qiao Mu this time will definitely not be banned, so the most likely way they want to fight is to handle the distribution of similar newspapers.
This time Qiao Mu was too lazy to fight.
That¡¯s why I decided to simply block the road first.
To save her from having to fight with them when the time comes, just stop them from engaging in political commentary or anything like that.
It¡¯s much easier than fighting with them about newspapers. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?.
