Chapter 200 0197 [You idiot! 】

The predecessor of Di Bao first began in the Western Han Dynasty.

The Western Han Dynasty implemented a parallel system of counties and states. Each county had an office in Chang'an, the capital. This office was called "Di" and had a permanent representative.

The representatives stationed there need to transcribe a series of important information such as the emperor's edicts, ministers' reports, and the appointment, dismissal, and transfer of relevant officials, word for word, and then rush to the territory.

The first official newspaper in the true sense appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but at that time it only served local officials.

In the Song Dynasty, due to the increase in the number of scholars and the number of people who were literate and hyphenated than in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, these people became the main consumers of Di newspapers.

It even gave birth to a profession, that of newspaper reader.

There are many people who cannot read, or don't know many words, but want to read newspapers and tabloids to learn about various current political news and interesting anecdotes about the bustling city of Tokyo.

How to do it?

Newspaper readers came into being.

Usually dozens of people get together and each pays a penny to have a newspaper reader read to them.

Many down-and-out scholars make a living and support their families.

It was precisely because of the discovery that the Di newspaper was profitable that countless tabloids were spawned.

Han Zhen ran the residence newspaper not to make money.

He has even thought about investing 100 million yuan every year.

Just for propaganda and used as a weapon of public opinion.

Don't underestimate Di Bao. In ancient times when information dissemination methods were scarce, Di Bao was the only channel for scholars and ordinary people to understand the outside world.

Mastering Di Bao means mastering the right to speak in public opinion.

In a subtle way, it guides the thoughts of the people and scholars.

"Residence newspaper?"

Mayundi frowned slightly, obviously looking down on this job.

Naturally, he did not dare to refuse openly, and said tactfully: "County Magistrate, I have never been in contact with Di Bao in my humble position. I am worried that it will ruin the County Magistrate's plan."

Seeing this, Han Zhen couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

In the Ma family, Ma Yanmin is the only person. Except for Ma Shuyao who has some spiritual energy, the rest of the descendants have mediocre qualifications.

But this is fine, a mediocre Ma family can save a lot of trouble in the future.

Thinking of this, Han Zhen didn't bother to waste time explaining, and ordered: "It doesn't matter, I believe in your talent. Now I appoint you as the director of Jinzou Academy. Tomorrow, the petition and official uniform will be sent to Mafu."

"This... I would like to thank the county magistrate!"

Having said this, Ma Yundi had no choice but to agree and bow to express his thanks.

"There is no need to go to Hucao today. I will go back and make some preparations. I will write a report on the construction plan of Jinzouyuan and hand it over."

After Han Zhen finished speaking, he waved his hand towards him.

"The officer will leave!"

After Ma Yundi bowed and saluted, he turned and walked out of the lobby.

All the way back to the household hall, he first explained the situation to Wang Weizhong and handed over his errands, and then said goodbye to his fellow subordinate officials.

"Congratulations to Brother Ma for your promotion!"

Su Zhaode held up his hands in congratulations, with a flash of envy in his eyes.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the Ma family was lucky to have such a beautiful young lady like Ma Shuyao.

Although the Ma family did not publicize the fact that Ma Shuyao promised to be Han Zhen's concubine, they did not cover it up either.

Therefore, basically all the wealthy families in the city know about it.

Ma Yundi forced herself to smile: "Brother Su will be promoted to a higher level soon, so I would like to congratulate him in advance."

"Bless me with Brother Ma's good words."

Su Zhaode smiled modestly.

Su Zhaode's promotion is a sure thing, after all, his Su family is also on Han Zhen's chariot.

Although not as good as the Ma family, it still helped Han Zhen a lot.

Relying on the reputation of the Su family in Qingzhou Shilin, many scholars came to apply for subordinate positions.

"Brother Su, say goodbye."

After saying goodbye, Mayundi took a bullock cart all the way back home.

In the main hall, Mayanmin was teaching his grandson.

In ancient times, knowledge was the core and most precious wealth of a family.

Money and land are important, but they are still external objects.

As long as the knowledge remains, even if the family declines for a while, there will still be opportunities to rise in the future.

Mayan Min held the tea cup and asked casually: "Those with weak virtues have high status, know small things but plan big things, have few abilities but have heavy responsibilities. It's rare to be inferior to them."

Hearing this, the child immediately replied: "'The tripod broke its legs and covered the crown. Its shape is rich and fierce.' The words are not enough for the task."

"Why?"

Mayanmin took a sip of hot tea and continued to take the school test.

The child stumbled and replied: "A gentleman...evil...evil lives in the lower class, and all the evil in the world...will return there."

Mayan Min said calmly: "Like Boyi, he is virtuous and capable. He originally wanted to accept the abdication and become the king. How can he be "not qualified for his role"? It's just that the world is no longer a unified country where talents are selected and appointed. In this world, we have reached a well-off society where nepotism is used. No matter how talented Bo Yi is, he is qualified for his job, and his destiny is no longer needed. Therefore, Zigong said that all the evil in the world will return to this place."

The child tilted his head slightly and said in confusion: "Master, Yao was imprisoned by You in his later years, and Shun died in the wild in his later years. This shows that the theory of abdication is in name only, so why did Zigong place all the blame on Dayu and Xia Qi? Where’s the head?”

A trace of satisfaction flashed in Mayanmin's eyes, and he chuckled: "It's quite rare that you can think of this level. No matter how the three sages of Yao, Shunyu and Yu got their positions, they all have one thing in common. The wise and sages of the world are expected to return home."

The child nodded in understanding and was about to speak when he saw Ma Yundi's figure appearing outside the hall.

"Father!"

The child greeted him respectfully.

Seeing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Mayanmin's eyes, he put down the tea cup and said, "Why did you leave so early today?"

Mayundi replied: "The county magistrate has arranged an errand for the child."

Mayanmin didn't seem surprised. He gently stroked his beard and asked, "What's the errand?"

"The director of Jinzouyuan."

When Ma Yundi was in the government office, he had been suppressing his thoughts. Now he couldn't bear it any longer. He couldn't help but vomited bitterly: "Father, my Ma family treated him heartily, but in the end, he got a son who entered the memorial hall." Chief. What can you accomplish by filing a residence report?"

Upon hearing his son's complaint, Mayanmin's movements of stroking his beard stagnated slightly, and then returned to normal.

I saw that his face was neither sad nor happy, and he said in a calm tone: "Oh? Do you want to do anything?"

Ma Yundi did not notice anything strange about his father and said to himself: "My child heard that he has mobilized troops to attack Shouguang. Zhang Wanxian is definitely no match. I'm afraid it won't be long before Shouguang and Changle will fall into his hands. By then, , there are no officials in Shouguang and Changle counties, everything is in ruins waiting for improvement, and I want to find a job as a county magistrate."

"Ok!"

Mayanmin nodded, turned to his little grandson and smiled kindly: "Huan'er, that's all for today's homework, go ahead and be stubborn."

"Grandpa, grandpa, Huan'er is going to be naughty."

The children put away their books and trotted out of the hall happily.

Watching the little grandson's back disappear from sight, the smile on Mayanmin's face gradually faded, and he raised his hand and slapped him.

Snapped!
A loud slap sounded in the hall.

This slap is not a heavy one.

A red slap mark suddenly appeared on Mayundi's fair cheek.

There was a faint trace of blood on the corners of his mouth.

Mayundi was stunned by this sudden slap.After being stunned for a moment, he quickly bowed and said, "Father, I know I was wrong!"

After he got the crown, his father never hit him again. Even if he did something wrong or said the wrong thing, he would only scold him at most.

The slap just now shocked his heart, and he couldn't help but feel panic.

"Ha ha!"

Mayanmin sneered and said teasingly: "You're right. Entering the memorial hall can't compare with the prestige of a county magistrate. As a father, I will go to the government office, show my shame, and ask for a job as a county magistrate for you!"

Seeing Mayanmin trying to get up, Mayundi suddenly panicked, knelt on the ground with a grunt, and apologized repeatedly: "Father, I really know that I was wrong."

Mayanmin sat down again and said coldly: "Since you know you are wrong, tell me where you went wrong?"

Mayundi replied: "Children should not complain and feel dissatisfied."

Hearing this, Mayanmin took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he seemed to have aged several years, and his cloudy eyes were full of complexity.

Facing his father's gaze, Ma Yundi realized that he might have misunderstood, and couldn't help but said: "My child is stupid, please let me know for sure."

"Ugh!"

Mayanmin sighed slightly and said slowly: "Han Zhen, why did he build a memorial hall? Why did he set up a residence report?"

"This... I think it was just a whim. I wanted to settle the child and return the favor to my Ma family." Ma Yundi pondered for a moment and gave the answer.

"Placing you?"

Mayan Min laughed angrily: "How prestigious do you, Ma Yundi, have to be that someone would set up the Jinzou Academy just to accommodate you?"

"He, Han Zhen, founded Jinzouyuan with the intention of using Di Bao to win over the hearts of scholars and the people."

Ma Yundi was stunned and asked puzzledly: "How can Di Bao win over people's hearts?"

Mayanmin looked furious, pointed at him and cursed: "You idiot, after studying for so many years, have you learned everything from a dog's belly? Don't you know what it means for three people to become a tiger? Just stay in the house The newspaper talked about how corrupt the Song Dynasty was, how stupid the current officials were, how wise and powerful Han Zhen was, and how peaceful and peaceful his rule was."

"The people are stupid, and those scholars are not much better. It is difficult to distinguish between true and false, good and evil. Over time, I will naturally believe it."

hiss!
Mayundi took a breath of cold air and was shocked.

After some prodding from his father, he finally understood Han Zhen's intention.

Seeing the look of surprise on his face, Mayanmin calmed down a little and continued: "The Di Bao is a great weapon for Han Zhen to fight for the world in the future. Don't be grateful for entrusting such an important job to you. , How stupid you are to still think about that poor magistrate!"

After saying that, Mayanmin closed his eyes again.

His Ma family bet all their wealth, and Han Zhen returned the favor and promised an important job.

This should have been a happy event for everyone, but this stupid son of his own felt that he had been wronged.

Mayundi said with concern: "My child already knows this. From now on, he will do his errands carefully. Father, calm down and don't let your anger break your body."

Mayanmin opened his eyes and saw the admiration on his son's face. He suddenly smiled and said, "That's good. With Youyou here, my Ma family can be worry-free for a hundred years."

In one's life, one must learn to accept three things.

The mediocrity of parents, the mediocrity of oneself, and the mediocrity of children.

Although my son's qualifications are a little mediocre, he studies hard, is sincere to others, and respects his parents. After all, his flaws are not hidden.

Moreover, as he said, it is better to be mediocre, but if you are too smart, you will be jealous.

Companion is like a tiger!
Thinking of this, Mayanmin gradually became calmer. He picked up the teacup and said, "What else did Han Zhen say?"

Seeing that his father was back to normal, Ma Yundi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "The county magistrate asked the child to prepare and write a brochure about the construction plan of Jinzouyuan and submit it."

Mayan Min said sincerely: "My Ma family has accumulated a reputation for many years. We should use it when it is needed, recruit talents, and work together. You only need to remember one thing, we and Han Zhen will both prosper and suffer. We have the kindness to provide help in times of need. Now, with Youyou here, no matter what happens in the future, Han Zhen will never treat my Ma family badly. So, don’t be jealous of the virtuous and the capable."

"Save it, baby!"

Mayundi responded solemnly.

"Go!"

Mayanmin waved his hands, as if he was tired.

……

……

In the lobby of the government office.

Zhao Ting stood respectfully below, reporting on his results over the past few days.

"County magistrate, I have reached an agreement with the three horse supervisors. Eight hundred war horses will be sent to the county in the near future!"

Eight hundred horses!
A hint of joy flashed in Han Zhen's eyes, and he said with a smile: "You have done a good job in this matter. When the war horse arrives, your reward will be indispensable!"

Zhao Ting looked troubled: "It's just..."

"Just what?"

Han Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The county magistrate Haojiao knows that these eight hundred war horses were originally supposed to be sent to Yidu via Jinan Prefecture. But now that Jinan Prefecture is occupied by Li Heihu, they can only take a detour through Dongping Prefecture."

Zhao Ting paused and continued: "Now Zhang Shuye is in Dongping Mansion. The [-] war horses, even if they are transported in batches, are still conspicuous. If Zhang Shuye finds out, it will be a small matter for the subordinate to expose the [-] war horses. Being detained is a big deal!"

This is a problem.

Li Heihu is now entrenched in Jinan Prefecture, which means that war horses and ordnance from other roads must take a detour if they want to be transported to Yidu.

This road is detoured, the journey is long, and the time goes by, it is naturally prone to twists and turns.

Han Zhen tapped his fingers lightly on the hall table and began to think of countermeasures in his mind.

Li Heihu could not move for the time being. He still needed to rely on Li Heihu as a shield to attract the attention of the Western Army.

Then, we can only open up new routes.

After thinking for a moment, Han Zhen already had a countermeasure, but he still needed to think about it in the long term and wait until Nie Dong and Liu Qi returned home in triumph.

Thinking of this, Han Zhen ordered: "I have a countermeasure for this matter. Please inform the horse supervisors and send the war horses later!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

Zhao Ting secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just have a way, otherwise the money you get will be gone.

While talking, Liu Mi led four subordinates and walked into the lobby.

After not seeing each other for a while, Liu Mi lost a lot of weight, and his originally fair face turned dark.

Han Zhen expressed his condolences: "Liu Tong has been working hard these days!"

"Thank you county magistrate for your concern."

Liu Mi cupped his hands and said loudly: "Thanks to the hundreds of subordinates transferred by the county magistrate, we finally completed the job day and night. Please check it with the county magistrate."

After saying that, the four subordinates stepped forward and respectfully stacked the high pile of accounts in their arms on the hall table.

Thinking of those hundred subordinate officials, Liu Mi couldn't help but sigh.

I have seen diligent people, but I have never seen subordinate staff who are so dedicated.

Really forgetting to eat and sleep.

I only sleep for two or three hours a day and start running errands when I wake up.

The key is not just one or two, but a hundred subordinate officials.

A job that originally took several months to complete took only ten days.

In ten days, the household registrations of nearly 30 people were counted, and millions of acres of farmland were measured.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it even if he killed Liu Mi.

Outrageous!
