Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 394 Listening to the Wind is the Rain (Please Subscribe!)

What the shopkeepers who were quietly waiting for the public opinion to ferment in the teahouse did not know.

The article published in their newspaper about the collective opposition to the Tianfu Yamen's review of their publishing license.

It appeared on Zhu Kezang's desk in less than half an hour.

Seeing such several newspapers, Zhu Kezang suddenly became unhappy: "These newspapers are all censored. Do you dare to publish anything?"

Zhu Kezang thought to himself, as expected, these media should not be left alone, otherwise the wind will turn into rain, and the common people will not be fooled and lame!

And it was Chen Weiguo who delivered the newspaper.

"Your Majesty, there are shadows of these private newspapers behind the fact that the people of the capital want to go to the capital train station to see Longyan. The names of their newspapers are very similar to Huangming Daily, and many people can't tell the difference."

Zhu Kezang knew that this was a loophole left by himself, but it was taken advantage of by someone with a heart.

The earliest permission for newspapers to be run by non-governmental businessmen was due to the consideration that private newspaper offices could serve as a supplement to official newspaper offices, and that local newspaper offices were needed in various places to maintain them.

During this process, it was impossible for the imperial court and local yamen to establish a large number of newspaper offices indefinitely. More importantly, the current Ming court did not have so many relevant talents, so Zhu Kezang chose to let go.

But now it seems that Huangming Daily, which was first established by him, wants to use this newspaper to make the public opinion of the world follow the imperial court as much as possible.

"There is nothing wrong with Yingtian's government's approach. What's wrong with a government's review of their newspaper procedures?"

Looking at the few newspapers at hand, Zhu Kezang suddenly remembered the kind of rubbish tabloids in the later generations who rubbed the names of large newspapers and newspapers to win the trust of the people and then made gossip.

There is also a certain website that cannot be trusted with punctuation marks, and only forwards some fake news about the battlefield.

Isn't this just another reprint of Da Ming?

Chen Weiguo quickly took Zhu Kezang's words, and he said: "Your Majesty, this matter will definitely be properly arranged if I am a humble minister, but these newspapers are rampant now, if they can't find a way to deal with it, I'm afraid it will intensify in the end!"

"Didn't I say it? Let the Yingtian government office review their procedures. As for whether they can pass, Shao Tingcai should not be confused!"

Since there is no problem with the review, Shao Tingcai has the final say on whether the review will pass. According to Zhu Kezang's current attitude, these newspapers may disappear overnight.

The complexity of the matter gradually exceeded Zhu Kezang's expectation.

Shao Tingcai not only did not put all his energy on calming the public opinion at the first time, but organized the manpower of the government to frantically collect every newspaper published by these newspapers on the market, since they were unwilling to review it.

Shao Tingcai felt that he could help them.

But at the same time, Shao Tingcai once again published an article in the "Huangming Daily" in the name of Yingtianfu Yamen. be outlawed.

And in the form of an ultimatum, he told all of them that within two days at the latest, if he did not send the audited materials to the Yingtian government office, then he, Shao Tingcai, would come to ask for them in person.

Since ancient times, people have not fought against officials.

But for the first time, the shopkeepers of these newspapers put this truth behind them. On the second day after Shao Tingcai's ultimatum was issued, almost all the private newspapers in the capital began to deliver newspapers to the streets with all their might.

It has been provided free of charge to newsboys for sale, but now it is directly provided to everyone for free. The purpose is to use the power of public opinion among the common people.

Let Ying Tianfu's ultimatum become a dead letter.

Just when these shopkeepers of the newspaper office were worried, but at the same time they were trying their best to strengthen their courage, hoping that the Yingtian government office would not dare to really do anything.

The final time point in the ultimatum has arrived.

Shao Tingcai didn't hesitate at all, standing in the courtyard of Yingtianfu, he looked at the hundreds of servants of Yingtianfu beside him and said loudly: "Today, we just want to let the people in the whole capital see, we don't care what the Yingtianfu says. use!"

"I want them to know that no one dares to wield swords and guns at the foot of the imperial city. As long as they dare to commit crimes, I will extinguish their arrogance!"

All the yamen servants present were actually extremely agitated in their hearts. You must know that in the recent period, even on the way home, I would be pointed at from time to time.

Those little newspapers that keep going around are nothing.

The article in the newspaper is not only discrediting the Yingtian government office, but also portraying all the government servants as court dogs and horses who persecute the people.

Hey guys, with such a big hat, can you get your turn?
"My lord, as long as you give an order, our brothers will immediately copy all these unscrupulous newspapers. These guys have really broken their consciences!"

"That's right, Mr. Fu Yin, we have not been idle during this time. The addresses of these newspaper offices, how many people there are, when they open every day, and even which teahouse these unscrupulous shopkeepers meet every day, are all clear!"

The yamen servants talked a lot, Shao Tingcai didn't hesitate anymore, and waved his hand directly: "I have an order to investigate all the newspaper offices in the capital, especially the newspaper offices that participated in this incident, and leave no one behind!"

The new official took office three fires, and the first fire set these private newspaper offices on fire.

"Yes, my lord!"

The head of the yamen then winked, and all the yamen filed out from the back door of the yamen. Why they didn't go through the front door was because they were afraid that those people would get the news in advance.

If they all ran away, it would be easy for them to miss out.

After all, the scale of the capital is much larger than before, and the daily flow of people is not a small number. It is really not that easy to find someone.

A large number of yamen servants began to move from various alleys.

Even though they are divided into different teams, each team still has a connection with each other. After all, the target is nothing more than a group of shopkeepers and buddies in a newspaper office.

It's not that they are required to go to the battlefield to fight, so these yamen servants have no worries at all.

They held the long knives around their waists tightly, bowed and converged from different paths to the same target point.

Shopkeeper Zhao was a little melancholy. This time, the battle with Yingtianfu's yamen was intensified. On the one hand, he didn't know what to do. Although he didn't blame everyone, he didn't know what the new governor was. .

But on the other hand, he knew very well that once Ying Tianfu Yamen re-examined what was printed in the newspapers he had published in the past month.

At that time, I am afraid that his newspaper office will have to close its doors and go out of business, so he can only fight to the end.
