Chapter 214: First encounter with Fang Xiaoru’s newspaper office

Chapter 214: Fang Xiaoru’s first encounter with the newspaper office

For Fang Xiaoru, being able to work in a newspaper office was actually a very comfortable thing for him.

After all, today's Daming Weekly Newspaper has long been famous.

Whether it is ordinary people, old masters who are illiterate, or even princes, generals, and officials in frontiers.

It can be said that there is no one who is not interested in this thing.

This Ming Dynasty Weekly has perfectly filled the spiritual void of everyone.

He mixed too much content into it.

You may not like some of them, but you will never say that you can't find what you are interested in.

Unless you are like Mr. Hu, you have also experienced the explosion of knowledge, information, and various entertainment activities that fill your eyes.

Otherwise, there is no one who dislikes Ming Weekly.

Because there are too many things included here.

For those who are interested in national affairs, it is a pity to read the current articles published above carefully.

Today's Shiwen is no longer just written by "experts in the field" with a little reputation in the world.

Many high-ranking fourth- and fifth-grade officials who were already in office have already ended their careers.

Mr. Hu even knew that several departments were secretly preparing in their hearts, thinking that one day they would become famous.

No one can calm down in such a great situation.

In addition to poetry, not to mention poetry.

If you have a poem that you have been holding back for a long time and that you feel particularly satisfied with, you will be happy to send it to an old friend, and then wait for ten years to slowly spread its reputation.

Or are you willing to publish it in the Ming Weekly newspaper with your name, and then become famous all over the world in less than a month?

Who doesn’t know what vanity is?

It is precisely because of this that competition in the poetry and poetry section of the Ming Dynasty Weekly is the most intense.

After all, poems, lyrics, and songs are different from contemporary texts and even different from scripts.

Everyone can tell whether a poem is good or not.

But put several poems together and choose the best one to publish in this issue of the newspaper.

Then there is a subjective aesthetic and even other factors involved.

Anyway, the father-in-law is right and the mother-in-law is right. When each issue of the newspaper is finalized, the most quarrelsome part is the poetry and poetry section.

Because Shi Wen is famous, it is difficult and risky for some people, especially young people.

Where can anyone write poetry that is reliable?

Therefore, under the fierce competition, many people have now begun to say hello to people in the newspaper office.

I don’t mean anything else, the main theme is “rewarding the virtuous and not avoiding relatives”. I would like to recommend the masterpieces of my nephews and descendants.

Of course, this kind of greeting doesn't have much effect.

After all, if a certain poem is visibly strong, then one editor cannot force it over another.

Of course, smart and decent people have already thought of Mr. Hu.

All fools know that even though Mr. Hu has resigned.

But now the entire newspaper office was founded by Mr. Hu, and he personally brought everyone in.

It would be weird if no one listened to him when he said hello.

But what many people didn't expect was that Master Hu would not give him any face at all.

After all, Mr. Hu resigned from that position just to avoid trouble. How could he get into trouble again just because of the so-called little face?

After Mr. Hu failed to make sense, some people even went to the newly appointed head of the family, His Royal Highness Zhu Biao. Although Zhu Biao is kind, he seems to be easy to talk to with his chubby face and smiling face.

But in fact, as Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted eldest son, how could he be like dough and let others toss him around?

It's just soft on the outside and strong on the inside, just showing off on weekdays.

In fact, he has a very strong temper!

From this chaos, we can see how lively the Ming Weekly newspaper office is today.

And Fang Xiaoru has now officially entered this newly opened yamen, and after struggling for more than half an hour, he became one of them.

In today's Daming Weekly newspaper, everyone has an official status.

But Mr. Hu had stipulated early on that mainstream editors and chief editors could only come after being promoted by the Ministry of Rites and assigned by the Ministry of Officials.

As for the clerks who handle errands and run errands, the newspaper can recruit them on its own, as long as the newspaper can afford the expense.

Of course, you also need to report to the official department.

Although he has no rank, he is still a member of the subordinate staff, that is, he wears official uniforms.

And Fang Xiaoru has this identity now.

After going back and forth in several places, he changed his clothes and finally became one of the subordinates in the Ming Dynasty Weekly newspaper office who was responsible for sorting out manuscripts.

In terms of rank and status, it is naturally very inconspicuous, and even the salary is not very fulfilling.

But Fang Xiaoru was very satisfied, because he thought that he would still take the imperial examination in the future.

Now it's just a temporary solution. Anyway, he has a good impression of Daming Weekly and is curious enough.

So why not hang out here for a while?

When Fang Xiaoru actually walked into the Ming Dynasty Weekly newspaper office, he realized that everything was too novel.

Although this is a newly built yamen, all the rules were set by the founder, Mr. Hu.

But Fang Xiaoru found that everything here was incompatible with other yamen.

First of all, people here come and go in a hurry, and no one seems to be busy.

In addition, everyone here has a lot of manuscripts on hand.

Many people frowned and read the manuscripts in their hands carefully, and then praised, reprimanded, or sneered...

The atmosphere of the entire newspaper office is not like a yamen, but rather like a library where scholars gather together.

And just when Fang Xiaoru stood there, unsure of what to do, a young man who was a few years older than him suddenly stood up next to him.

"New colleagues?"

"In this case, I will take you to find the editor-in-chief to implement the errands first!"

Fang Xiaoru is very grateful to such kind people who can stand up and help at critical moments.

After the two introduced each other for a few words, they knew each other's identity.

Unfortunately, the editor-in-chief seemed to be away, so the two simply sat there and chatted.

As for topics, there are only so many things that scholars can talk about.

And coincidentally, Mr. Hu, who founded the newspaper, was also the man who brought fear to scholars like them because of the imperial examination.

If we don't talk about Mr. Hu in the newspaper office, it would be a shame for Fang Xiaoru's identity as a candidate.

While Fang Xiaoru was curious, Luo Guanzhong respected him.

After all, for Luo Guanzhong, Mr. Hu was the guiding light that saved him from the fire and water and made his mentor's legacy shine brightly!
