I studied in modern times

Chapter 241 Authority is established!

As night fell slowly, Wen Yanbo half-closed his eyes, listening to the melodious singing of the singer.

Wen Jifu quietly walked to his side and knelt down.

"What's the matter?" Wen Yanbo asked.

"My lord..." Wen Jifu handed a tabloid that smelled of ink to Wen Yanbo's hand.

"This is a tabloid that suddenly appeared today..."

Wen Yanbo didn't read the content, but asked, "It's just a tabloid, is there anything special about it?"

Wen Jifu said: "Sir...it is printed..."

"Printed?" Wen Yanbo immediately sat up.

He is so familiar with the tabloids!

Because the emergence and popularity of tabloids came after Qingli.

Tabloids are usually handwritten and in small quantities, so they will only appear in the tiles and hooks of Bianjing City at first - only in these places where people gather, they will spend money to buy news in order to attract business or maintain popularity.

Some tabloids are even supported by the big shots behind the tiles.

For example, behind the Sang family's tiles, there are the shadows of the Yang family, the Cao family, and the figure of Ouchi Da Diao Dang.

Therefore, the tabloids at the beginning first appeared in tiles and tick columns.

Then it was copied out by hand and taken outside.It has become a topic of conversation for Bianjing citizens in their spare time, and it is also a way for many Cuo Da people to show off that they are well-informed.

Wen Yanbo picked up the tabloid, and saw that the layout and typesetting of this paper were completely different.

There are even tabloids with names.

His pupils suddenly dilated.

"Bianjing New News..." He read his name: "He actually made a sign..."

Feeling the paper again, the quality is average, and it is the most common paper in the study shop at Daxiangguo Temple.

Then, Wen Yanbo looked at the writing on the page.

It is indeed not like a handwritten copy. It is somewhat similar to a block print, but it is not as clear and distinct as the block print.

There are still traces of ink left between the lines.

Wen Yanbo smiled. He held the Bianjing Newspaper in front of his eyes and read it carefully.

On the first page of the first edition, the full text of the New Testament of Song and Liao Dynasties is written.

This seems to be a covenant that was just finalized this morning, right?
Therefore, it must not be engraving, it is too late to engrave!

Wen Yanbo became more and more interested as he read the contents of the Bianjing Newspaper.

"Sir..." Wen Jifu said from the side: "Look at the review article on the second page..."

Wen Yanbo nodded and separated the pages of the so-called Bianjing New Newspaper with the words "Page [-]" arranged vertically in a row, similar to riding a seam.

The title first caught my eye: Hu Feipan, our newspaper’s commentator, said...

Looking at the text, it is almost vulgar and worthless.

No allusions are used, and even the words are as simple in structure as possible.

The strokes can be as few as possible, and the simplified characters written by calligraphers in the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties are chosen as much as possible.

But... the content made Wen Yanbo's eyes light up.

Because the so-called commentator named "Hu Feipan", after extolling the magnanimity of the officials of the Song Dynasty and describing the groveling and subdued envoys of the Liao Dynasty, changed the subject and directly pointed out the future after the implementation of the new treaty between Song and Liao.

In Hu Feipan's words, 'Three million guan a year, the Liao people can only buy things from our dynasty...'

'Our porcelain, tea, tea bricks, Sichuan brocade and other exquisite and luxurious things that the Liao people love will surely be snapped up by the Liao people...'

After reading this so-called 'Bianjing News', Wen Yanbo laughed: "Interesting..."

Wen Jifu squatted in front of Wen Yanbo and asked in a low voice: "Why do you say it's interesting?"

Wen Yanbo said: "Since Renmiao to the present, officials of all dynasties have been extremely afraid of tabloids and have tried every means to avoid prying eyes..."

"But I don't know that this matter is like Dayu's control of floods. It is better to remove them than to block them..."

Wen Jifu looked at Wen Yanbo in confusion.

Wen Yanbo looked at his son who was already so stupid and shook his head. Fortunately, he had looked away.

Relatives...actually, it's better to be stupider.

A relative who is too smart will be feared by others.

So, I didn't bother to say anything anymore, I just grabbed the 'Bianjing New News' in my hand, slowly leaned on the cave, and said leisurely: "The future prime ministers will have a headache!"

Now he knew he wanted to keep the tabloids in his hands.

When he grows up, he will be in charge.

Just wait for the ministers to be troubled!

As a former prime minister, Wen Yanbo knew very well that in the Song Dynasty, the imperial power and the power of the prime minister were constantly balancing in a game.

The Renmiao and Yingmiao eras were the peak of prime ministerial power.

Renmiao is governed by arches, while Yingmiao has to be governed by arches.

But when the late emperor was on the throne, especially the Yuanfeng era, it was the pinnacle of the imperial power of the Song Dynasty!
The late emperor even invented the ingenious method of asking ministers to pay fines at Funing Palace to strengthen the imperial power.

At the same time, through system design, the power of the prime minister (left prime minister) is less than that of the secondary prime minister (right prime minister).

This further made the prime minister's power completely a tool of imperial power - Wang Gui's name of "Three Edicts" was actually given by the late emperor.

But now that person, no more than You Chong, has already set his sights on the tabloid that can become an auxiliary tool for the imperial power.

They even began to try to master, control, and tame the tabloids.

All I can really say is that they are worthy of being father and son.

the student surpasses the master!

and so……

Each of the future rulers will not have a good life.

However, what does this have to do with Wen Kuanfu?
Anyway, there will be no more bosses in the Wen family in the next few decades.

……

Han House.

Right Prime Minister Kang Guogong Han Jiang also received a Bianjing Newspaper at this moment.

"Sir..." His grandson Han Bi reported in front of him: "This thing has been spreading throughout the streets and alleys of Bianjing since this afternoon..."

"It is said that someone is spreading..."

"The soldiers in Kaifeng Mansion saw it and didn't dare to take action..."

Han Jiang put down the Bianjing Newspaper after reading it: "Who dares to take care of it?"

"I don't even dare to take care of this matter even if Cai Yuanchang has ten courages!"

Han Jiang didn't know who Cai Jing was before, but he knows it so well now!
Since Han Jiang took office, Cai Jing of Kaifeng Mansion immediately took the initiative to move closer to him.

Whatever Han Jiang wanted to do, Kaifeng Mansion fully cooperated and never shied away from it.Especially in the adjustment and investigation of in-service laws, Cai Jing personally led people and followed Zhang Hong.

After getting in touch, Han Jiang already knew that Cai Jing's abilities and talents were unparalleled among the younger generation of ministers!
However, at the same time, this official has no ideals and beliefs.

In the past when Cai Que was on stage, Cai Jing was Cai Que's staunchest supporter.

Now it's Han Zihua's turn to be in Taiwan, and Cai Jing is his staunch supporter of Kang Guogong Han Jiang.

Even if Lu Gongzu and Sima Guang come to power in the future, he can still be their right-hand man.

Therefore, if such a person is not promoted, it will be unforgivable!
But at the same time, such a person is too scary.

Han Jiang was extremely jealous of him, and he didn't dare to offend him at will. He was always polite and behaved like a virtuous corporal.

Because Han Jiang knows that she is old.

But his children and grandchildren will continue to have official careers.

For people like Cai Jing, kindness may not be repaid, but revenge will definitely be tasted!

"Kaifeng Prefecture Cai Yuanchang doesn't dare to take care of it?" Young Han Bi was shocked: "The person behind the 'Bianjing New News' is so powerful?"

Han Jiang looked at his eldest grandson and said with a smile: "It's not as simple as being awesome..."

"But no one dares to provoke...touch..."

Who dares to touch this matter?
If you touch it badly, you will suffer disasters all over the house!
Who in the government and the public does not know that the current owner of Funing Hall has a good memory and is particularly good at holding grudges?

Han Bi took a deep breath: "Is it the Gao family?"

Han Jiang smiled and didn't blame the grandson.

Because there are many things that Han Bi doesn't know at all.

For example, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this 'Bianjing New News' is printed at a glance, and it is definitely not an engraving - there is not enough time, and the handwriting on the engraving must be much clearer!
For example, the Detective Department under the Imperial City Department is now completely invisible in the eyes of the Prime Minister.

why?
Not everyone has seen it clearly, who is really controlling the Investigation Department!
It’s definitely not the Queen Mother!

If it were just like this, Han Jiang might still have the confidence to pretend not to know who owns the 'Bianjing New News' at tomorrow's court meeting and pierce this layer of paper.

Nip the temptation to meddle with public opinion in the cradle.

However, after the floods in Hebei receded, news came that the river defense was safe and sound.

Han Jiang no longer wanted to confront that person.

Now he just wants to finish his last term as prime minister quietly.

Do what he has to do well.

Then retire comfortably.

Han Jiang didn't want to touch other things at all.

the reason is simple.

Officials have already established their authority!
The flood in Daming Mansion receded in the face of the authority of the officials.

This is a fact!It's a political achievement!What an achievement!
No one can deny that either the news from the palace or the facts admitted by the two palaces themselves have announced one thing to the government and the opposition: it was the recommendation, persistence and arrangement of the officials.

Only then did Zhang Dun, Song Yongchen, and Miao Shuo take command of Hebei and supervise the river defense.

Only then did the imperial edicts of the two palaces come out, and the late emperor sealed the piles and treasury with money and silk to reward the soldiers and the people.

As a result, millions of people and hundreds of thousands of hectares of farmland in Daming Prefecture and Hebei Prefecture were preserved.

Thus, the miracle that an eight-year-old official had already established a successful career occurred.

However, the Song Dynasty respected civil administration, and civil administration prioritized river management.

The officials commanded the defense of the river and issued a personal decree to seal the pile treasury of money and silk, which was a great success.

As a veteran, Han Jiang knew very well what this meant?

First of all, the hearts and minds of the people and the military in Hebei, especially those of the Imperial Army and the Xiang Army who received official rewards, will all return to their hearts from now on.

That's what the Qiu Ba people are like.

Whoever gives you money will listen to you!And the rewards given by the officials were quick and large.

Qiu Ba people will know with their butts who they should be loyal to and who they should listen to!

Secondly, after this river defense, rewards will be given based on merit.

A large number of civilian officials and military generals will be promoted. Who will promote these people?

Don’t they know it themselves?
Finally, there was the Upper Fourth Army led by Zhang Dun and Miao Shu.

These people will also return to their hearts.

Therefore, in a sense, the current His Majesty is already a weakened version of Admiral Tiance.

Han Bi looked at his grandfather's smile and felt a little scared. He asked cautiously: "Isn't it the Gao family?"

Han Jiang still just smiled.

Young people, it is not good to know too much.

Moreover, this kind of thing cannot be taught by others. It must be understood and figured out by oneself.

Otherwise, there will never be any room for improvement.

When I enter the officialdom in the future, I will definitely be toyed with and applauded by those outstanding people who come out of the sea of ​​​​elections in local states and counties.

……

Funing Hall.

Zhao Xu had already washed up, lay on the bed, and covered himself with quilts.

In the light of the ever-burning lantern, outside the curtain, a figure came closer.

"Everyone..." Shi Deyi called in a low voice.

"Ok?"

"The first issue of Bianjing New News has been published..." Shi Deyi whispered: "A total of 1000 copies have been distributed in the inner and outer cities of Bianjing... There are still more than [-] copies, according to The imperial edict was sent to Baima and other places..."

"Good!" Zhao Xu nodded: "Thank you for your hard work!"

"I am honored to serve your Majesty!" Shi Deyi bowed respectfully, and then stepped back.

The light of the ever-burning lantern swayed with the evening wind outside the curtain.

The scent of sandalwood drives away the mosquitoes in early autumn.

Zhao Xu was lying on the imperial couch, looking at the palace beams above his head.

He knew that next, he would focus on the weapons manufacturing bureau.

There can be less interference in matters in the court.

It's for his own good - he wants to grow and needs enough rest.

At the same time, it was also to allow time to dilute the ripples caused by this incident.

By controlling public opinion and indirectly controlling military power, his demands have been fully satisfied.

If he continues to perform, maybe the ministers will be eager to ask him to take charge!
