Chapter 575 Wu 2 will be executed in the autumn

"Everyone, please think carefully. Such great opportunities are rare nowadays."
"But once we draw the bow, there's no turning back."
As the Royal Newspaper Company was established at the speed of light, the rats in the gutter smelled something.
The number of officials from the Qinglisi, which had been decreasing again and again, gathered together again.
"How many of my colleagues have been demoted by that Zhao guy to become managers, working day and night doing things that were once only done by his subordinates."
"The gentry in the area also sent many letters in reply. Zhao Daxing launched a tax inspection. The emperor was happy not to have to endure the gentry's anger and handed the tax guard back to Zhao."
"Everyone has been unable to sit still for a long time. Sir, please tell us what to do!"
Over time, uprisings and rebellions broke out in various places, and things of the same nature never ceased.
There is no need to explain the implications of what everyone here has said.
To burn the boats is their self-proclaimed intention.
"No, this time, we don't have to pay such a high price."
"There's news that the reporting department established by our Highness Chongning will personally go down to the people to investigate their suffering!"
"In the capital, we are just small doctors. There can be no filth under the feet of the emperor."
"But if something happens in a village outside the capital, it will be caused by the reforms personally presided over by our Minister of the Holy Palace."
"Who do you think the newspaper department should send out to collect folk songs?"
"You have to know that this is a poor and remote place. If any unruly people appear, it's not our fault."
"And was harmed by his beloved Zhimin, hahaha!"
It is common sense that if something very important and right encounters huge obstacles, we should continue to invest in it and pay more attention to it.
But reality does not recognize legitimate reasons.
This surprise naturally made the doctors of the Qinglisi even happier.
......
the other side.
"Your Highness, the information we received from the Royal Guards is too much and too mixed."
"If we want to ensure that each copy of the court gazette costs less than two cents, we'll probably have to publish it in batches."
The Embroidered Uniform Guard served as the source of information, the Ministry of Works and the Imperial Household Department were responsible for printing, the Ministry of Revenue and the imperial farms in various places were responsible for distribution, the Ministry of Rites was responsible for sales, and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War provided escort.
The new machine of the newspaper company was soon up and running.
As the operators of this new machine, Chongning and Xiaoqing soon felt the pressure.
The two people who wanted to carry forward the spirit and pass it on even felt that the pressure was greater than being a teacher at the Academy of Humanities.
But this time, neither of them thought of backing down.
"A branch?"
"Sub-publication..."
"Xiaoqing! You're so smart! Why didn't I think of that? You just need to split the magazine!"
As the one who was most concerned among them, Chongning quickly turned the problem into a solution based on Xiaoqing's words.
That is, the cost of each newspaper has been reduced to two cents.
But Chongning had been a lecturer in school for so long that he had long understood that even a small sum like two cents was not something that everyone could easily come up with.
Even if it contains pinyin to teach people how to read, it contains real articles and real knowledge!
What’s more, the cost is only two cents. Even if it is printed locally, the final selling price will still go up!
There were not many confidentiality regulations distributed free of charge along with menstrual cloths in the small houses of the imperial farms in various places.
And the number of issues is everything to the business they have!
"Division! Division!"
Chongning's eyes became brighter and brighter, and soon she made a decision:
"Xiaoqing! Send a letter immediately, and have express horses inform all printing houses to change the format of each newspaper from large pages to split pages!"
"Also, the requirements for newspaper editors must be revised accordingly. The length of each article must be limited to half a page!"
"If the space is insufficient, it will need to be approved by the doctor and then typeset on the back of the same half page. If you need a larger page, please submit it to me!"
"Order local officials to publish the pinyin recognition method on official notices embroidered in black and white, and post them for advertising!"
"Sales at various sales offices have also changed to support cut-page sales, with a minimum of half a page!"
Since its birth, Pinyin has been resisted by Confucian scholars because it deviates from the orthodox method of Fanqie, and by local tyrants because it threatens the monopoly of the gentry.
As for the emperor, he actually always wanted everyone in the world to be able to read and write.
However, there is a prerequisite, that is, everyone in the world is at peace and wholeheartedly seeking fame and fortune.
As long as one is only concerned with seeking fame and fortune, then even if one can read and write, he or she is still contributing to the emperor's rule.
Now that Zhao Zheng has handed over the newspaper department to Chongning, it will have to return to the royal family in the future. Naturally, Old Zhu will be happy to see it.
"The typesetting issue has been resolved. The productivity technology is provided by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the articles are provided by the Imperial Academy."
"Now all that's left is news."
Since Zhao Zheng has handed over the full authority of the newspaper to Chongning and the others, he will not take the initiative to interfere.
All the leadership is given to them.
Chongning and Xiaoqing naturally had their own ideas.
For example, metaphysics and the good qualities of human beings are certainly very important.
But as the first publication, Chongning and Xiaoqing combined their own experiences and observations in the Zhao Mansion over the years.
It was unanimously agreed that setting the tone for the official bulletin was the most important thing.
Cultural literacy is divided into stages, and productivity is divided into professions.
Moreover, advertisements for good quality can be included in both of them.
In professional fields, there are better alternatives.
So what is the irreplaceable point of the Dibao?
News events, public voice.
The stubborn tradition that imperial power does not extend to the countryside has met its first enemy.
Chongning and Xiaoqing became even more determined to help the cause that the Zhao family was wholeheartedly participating in and leading.
"Your Highness! Here is a record right here in Yingtian Prefecture!"
After the two made up their minds, they spent another half a day.
Finally, Xiaoqing discovered a complex situation from a pile of information in the Jinyiwei newspaper that they could confirm on the spot.
"Show me quickly!"
Chongning quickly came over, and the two of them excitedly checked it out together.
However, the excitement of discovering the news slowly faded as the events unfolded...
"Twenty years of enlightenment..."
......
In the 20th year of Kaiming, due to disasters in the fields and poor harvests, Wu Er, a commoner, was unable to pay taxes and was appointed village head.
The village chief went to Wu Ertian to check and found that the facts were true, so he reported it.
However, seeing that the harvest of Wu Er's neighbor was not affected, he did not take any measures and advocated for equal distribution. The neighbors were unwilling to do so, and Wu Er was in debt.
In the spring of the 21st year of Kaiming, Langzhong of the Qingli Division of Yingtian Prefecture was promoted to the position of Director, and his subordinates were reduced, and the staff returned home.
The debt was not different from the land, there was no harvest in the spring, and Wu Er lost his land.
However, in the spring, grain seeds and oxen were borrowed, and the taxes were paid.
The gangsters were approaching, so Wu Er was reinstated as the village head. The village head was afraid that it was illegal, so he banned it.
Fearing a crime at night, Wu Er fled, but his neighbor tried to stop him. During the struggle, he accidentally injured his head and his neighbor died.
Wu Er killed someone, lost all his property, and still owed taxes. He was executed in the autumn.
