Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 89 Culture Wars
This day, the prince was eating breakfast, but today he was a lot less bland. The porridge was accompanied by side dishes, and the prince concubine filled him with a third bowl of porridge: "His Royal Highness, this is the third bowl today. If you're not feeling well, eat less."

"Eating clear soup and lacking water, don't even drink more porridge?" The prince was a little angry.

The Crown Princess sighed helplessly: "This year's autumn wind is even cold. Your Highness will feel uncomfortable every day when you enter the winter. Your Majesty has ordered again, you should eat less."

Zhu Gaochi didn't want to say anything to her, so he opened the newspaper on the table.

Although it is not possible to publish Daming Daily, Zhu Zhanchang finally decided to call this newspaper Daming Daily.

"What is Zhan's doing? Books are not books, and books are not books." Apparently, the Crown Princess didn't understand what her son was tinkering with.

"Zhanchang, your brain is really smart, and it is far beyond the smartness of ordinary people." Zhu Gaochi praised his son and flipped through the newspaper.

The first page is the news that the Huitong River will be fully connected, but it also allows all the water transport merchants to get the news.

The current affairs on the second page was compiled by Li Shimian, "Book of Expeditions to the Barbarians in Northern Xinjiang" about the recent news about the recent changes in the northern Xinjiang.

I have to say that this old troll, Li Shimian, still has a good hand. From the time of Zhu Yuanzhang’s rebellion against Yuan, he briefly described the plundering of my Central Plains dynasty by the northern nomads over the years, and deeply denounced Shi Jingtang back then. Cessation of the North.

A brief excerpt: "Since Qin and Han Dynasties, north of the Great Wall, there have been wicked people in the wasteland, barbarians who are rude and lawless, with the purpose of looting our Central Plains, killing my people, women and children, Taizu gathered people's hearts to fight against Mongolian Yuan and expel Tatar. Captives, restore China, if the following subjects are still bullied by the barbarians, it is because of disloyalty, unrighteousness and filial piety, and they will not give up an inch of land.”

The whole article is full of hatred and family hatred with the northern country, blood feud for generations, and the old trolls are very powerful, and they are also powerful.

There is not a single swear word in the whole article, only one theme. Daming does not allow an inch of land, and in his words, he constantly supports Zhu Di in his personal expedition to the Northern Expedition. Zhu Di applauded when he read this article.

This is really not Li Shimian turning his temper to flatter Zhu Di, but the proposition that Zhu Zhanchang gave him in a matter-of-fact composition.

He sprayed the emperor from the top and the people from the bottom, and he spared no effort when the firepower was directed at foreign people and barbarians. He supported Zhu Di's personal conquest 100%.

Looking at this article, Zhu Gaochi gave a wry smile: "He lifted a stone and smashed his own foot. This article has been seen by the common people. At that time, everyone will be excited and demand the Northern Expedition."

This is the power of cultural propaganda, which resonates with people and allows their own ideas to influence others.

Zhu Gaochi turned to the version of the novel, which serialized two novels, the Romance of the Yang Family Mansion by Qin Huai Moke, and the reorganized Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Yanbo Diaosou.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is an old book with a new chapter, while the Romance of the Yang Family is a new book.

"Why is Your Highness in the mood to read novels?"

"This Yang Family Mansion tells the story of Song Taizong and Yang Ye, and it tells about fighting against foreign enemies. The day before yesterday, Zhan Chang came to me and asked me how this novel was. I think it's good. The people of the Ming Dynasty have the idea of ​​fighting against foreign enemies, which is very good. "

"His Royal Highness, why is the price of the market in Yingtianfu written here?" The Crown Princess saw the commercial version.

"Prices, exotic goods, including whether the canal is blocked, and the lack of food in various places will be published on it, so that people can learn more information."

"What is this ranking, tax payment?" The Crown Princess noticed that the names of ten people were written on the side of the column, and after a closer look, she saw that it was taxation.

"Well, Zhan Shi and His Majesty asked for instructions, and His Majesty indicated that it could be done. This is why His Majesty asked this newspaper to be done in the name of a private person. If it is in the name of the imperial court, it is afraid that it will pressure these people to pay taxes. Your Majesty is afraid It’s not good to do this now, it will be much better in the name of private individuals, but these figures are all given by the Ministry of Households.”

"Is this no problem?" The Crown Princess was a little worried.

"It's alright, the newspapers carry the names of the merchants outside. Even the imperial censors who write the newspapers have money. That's right, the employment relationship. It can also be said that the taxpayer's order of business firms is arranged by outsiders. Some people are afraid of being famous, and some people want to be famous. Should be more famous."

The princess saw the last page and became interested: "This last page is more interesting, there are lantern riddles, and there are pairs." She prefers this kind of content.

On this day, not only in the palace, but also in the streets and alleys of Yingtianfu, there were piles of thick newspapers on the stalls of the small vendors. It only took three or five coins, or the equivalent of food stamps, to get a copy.

At first, no one was interested, but gradually people asked when they saw people holding newspapers in teahouses or breakfast stalls. Gradually, the newspapers were sold out, and the first batch of printing was not enough.

For these fresh and fast ways of obtaining news, people can quickly accept them, and newspapers have become their most efficient carriers of obtaining information.

In the Yunde Teahouse, Mr. Lin Miao took the stage today and told not the story of the Three Kingdoms, but the newly released Romance of the Yang Family. Ji Zhenlun ordered a cup of tea and sat in the audience, listening to the story he wrote with tears in his eyes. , Hearing someone applaud him, he secretly wiped his tears.

My book turned out to be really good.

In the streets and alleys of various places, some storytellers took newspapers and began to tell the children and the illiterate dealers and pawns the novels serialized in the newspapers, which was much cheaper than buying books, and the serialization once a period of time also hung the audience. His appetite, the audience will still listen to him next time he speaks, his business is guaranteed, and he has become a loyal customer of the newspaper.

Newspapers have also flowed into some commercial firms. Big bosses see themselves on the list and become big taxpayers. Some people are happy and others are worried. If the backstage is hard, they are happy, and those who are not hard enough are worried.

Overall much happier.

The entertainment version on the last page is most liked by the boudoir girls. They have limited entertainment activities in the boudoir, and like to admire literati. Those who have learned some culture will match their own pairs, guess lantern riddles, and finally some simple 's literacy section.

The literati and officials looked at current affairs and political affairs, and they were most concerned about national affairs. At the court meeting the next day, there were people who came to the temple with newspapers and demanded a reward for Li Shimian's book on expedition of barbarians in northern Xinjiang, which originally supported the northern expedition. His courtiers were even more enthusiastic, and those courtiers who did not support the Northern Expedition couldn't hold back the excitement in the courtroom today.

Zhu Di was happy, but he didn't like Li Shimian's mindless donkey temper, and in the end he just secretly asked Zhu Zhanchang to give him a lot of extra fees, which was equivalent to the secret reward of the big brother.

This is the first newspaper to have such an effect, beyond Zhu Di's expectations, and beyond Zhu Zhanchang's own expectations.

Yongle is prosperous, the country is prosperous and the people are strong, and everyone has a great demand for these entertainment and current affairs.

And this newspaper is enough to circulate for several days, and the content on it is enough to spread for several days.

Zhu Zhanchang, who was finally free, was lying on the rocking chair. At this time, charcoal had been lit in the house. It was extremely cold this year, and the prince was not feeling well, so the courtyards were more careful.

Zhu Zhanchang, who thought he could finally relax for a while, received news that Chen Xuan was looking for him.
