back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 424
The Supervision Department has a great reputation, and almost none of the cases it has handled have shocked the government and the public, and even the people have heard of it.With such a "bad name", even if the common people clapped their hands secretly, but once they got into trouble, these little people would not be in the mood to watch the excitement.

Following Xu Jingchun's yell, the onlookers scattered like birds and beasts, and disappeared into the streets and alleys like the ebbing tide in less than a moment.It's just that the anecdote about the holy majesty going out on tour in disguise to teach the wicked officials a lesson, spread in and out of Chang'an City in less than half a day, and everyone knew about it.

Seeing Lu Chengqi hurrying on his way, Gao Hao had doubts in his heart, he hesitated to speak.But the imperial guard behind Lu Chengqi asked cautiously, "Young Master Huang, where are we going?"

"Of course I went to the newspaper!" Lu Chengqi said angrily.

The imperial guard smiled apologetically and said, "It's because my subordinates can't remember, the young master will come down with my subordinates."

Those who work in the palace have a bit of brains, knowing that refuting their superiors face to face will lead to catastrophe.Even if the little emperor went the wrong way, those who followed Lu Chengqi did not dare to speak out at will.The imperial guard gave Lu Chengqi a big step down, Lu Chengqi naturally accepted his favor, and said following his words: "Lead the way!"

The imperial guard breathed a sigh of relief, and the imperial guards behind him all relaxed.And the imperial guard didn't dare to walk the same way, but made a small detour, and then came to the Dashun Minbao Office.

At this time, the Dashun Minbao had more than doubled in size.Now in the territory of Dashun, from the octogenarian to the urchin, who doesn't know "Dashun People's Daily"?Because the sales volume was too large, the Dashun Minbao had to be expanded, recruiting unqualified scholars to serve as writers and correct the newspaper.When there are more people, the place will naturally be built accordingly.

What the people of Dashun don't know is that the "Dashun People's Daily" alone can support many people, and the money it earns is not inferior to Haimao.Today, the publication volume of "Dashun Minbao" has reached 30 copies a day.The previous newspapers were still being printed the next day.Most of the printing workshops outside Chang'an rely on "Dashun Minbao" to operate normally, and at the same time support nearly two thousand printing apprentices.There are also thousands of newsboys who run errands and sell newspapers for a living in Dashun, and the drivers who deliver guarantees...

Of course, "Dashun Minbao" is the property of Huangzhuang, and it is also for profit.If the "Dashun Minbao" is given to the Ministry of Household Affairs, I don't know what the Ministry of Household Affairs will do.And many businessmen saw the influence of "Dashun Minbao", and put advertisements on it one after another.Even in the cracks, it can make the reputation skyrocket.

But there are too many monks and too little porridge. Now the advertisement schedule of "Dashun Minbao" has been scheduled until next year.All the people in the Dashun Minbao can be supported by advertising revenue alone.It is precisely because of this that these failed scholars and candidates who acted as editors used to just beg for a living, but now that their income is stable and their jobs are easy, they don't want to go to the examination for fame and promotion to the officialdom.

Lu Chengqi had just entered the office of Dashun Minbao, and it happened that Zhang Yuanchong was busy outside correcting manuscripts with a few editors who looked like scholars, and saw that their faces were flushed red.When the light at the door was blocked by the imperial guards, they all stopped and turned to look at the person coming.

Zhang Yuanchong was about to say something, but he was pushed and shoved by others, and he said angrily, "Why, do you want to do something?"

Lu Chengqi thought it was funny. After Zhang Yuanchong had been the editor-in-chief for nearly a year, he was so angry that he didn't look like a scholar, but more like a soldier on the battlefield.With his smile, Zhang Yuanchong turned his head to look, and said hastily, "I...I'm in a hurry..."

"All right, all right, don't be so wordy, I'm here to read your manuscript." Lu Chengqi put away his smile and said seriously.

Zhang Yuanchong snatched a piece of rice paper from a scholar, and led Lu Chengqi into his study.After Lu Chengqi sat down firmly, he asked slowly: "The manuscript is finished, it seems that many people's opinions are not unified?"

Zhang Yuanchong was full of grievances, but he wrote it according to Lu Chengqi's will.But after writing, those editors are not happy.Your Majesty wants to implement the New Deal, or deprive them of the ten-rank official system for promotion, how can this be tolerated?So he got into a mess with Zhang Yuanchong, but Zhang Yuanchong was so angry that he immediately started arguing with them.

After Lu Chengqi understood the whole story, he asked slowly: "Yuan Chong, what do you think of the new policy I want to implement?"

Zhang Yuanchong said bluntly: "Your Majesty's new policy is naturally for the good of Dashun. However, temporary turmoil may be unavoidable. But according to the students, although this move has short-term pain, it will have long-term benefits for Dashun." Good. But Your Majesty, have you taken into account the hearts of scholars in the world?"

"Of course, this is why I came here this time." Lu Chengqi said confidently, "Bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and I will write the article myself!"

Zhang Yuanchong was amused when he heard it.Naturally, it would be best to leave this difficult problem to Lu Chengqi.Who dares to refute what the Holy Majesty wrote in his own handwriting, this is a protest!Resisting the decree is to beheaded!

Lu Chengqi had already prepared the draft, and it was done in one go.The more Zhang Yuanchong watched from the side, the more thrilling he became: "Your Majesty, you are... are you going to open Enke again?"

Lu Chengqi smiled and said: "It's natural. There are so many subordinate officials in the world, how can opening once every three years be enough? As for talents, naturally, the more the better. Some people may not be very good at writing articles, but they may be good at handling government affairs. My big brother The biggest problem for Shun officials is that they can’t handle affairs. What’s the use of such an official?”

Zhang Yuanchong thought about it carefully, but he was a little impressed: "In this way, the scholars of the world will be able to get nominations on the gold list, and their resentment will be much less. Your Majesty's move will benefit the country and the people. Students will replace the scholars of the world. Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "I didn't say to recruit more people for the final middle palace examination! Those who can be awarded immediately from the ninth rank and above, in addition to the third grade, are the B grade six grades. The essence has not changed, thank you for what?"

Zhang Yuanchong said seriously: "The candidates who participated in the tribute examination, after taking care of the government affairs, will naturally make the articles more relevant to the sufferings of the people, and the chances of your majesty accepting them will be greater. Isn't this the blessing of scholars in the world?"

Lu Chengqi sighed: "If all the scholars in the world understand my painstaking efforts like Yuan Chong, then I will be more relieved."

Zhang Yuanchong said with a smile: "There are not a few people with insight in the world, and there are many people who understand the Sacred Heart. Why should Your Majesty worry so much?"

"What a Zhang Yuanchong, it's alright, it's getting late, I should go back. Hmph, the decisive battle will be two days after tomorrow. I want to see how many people will oppose the New Deal!" Lu Chengqi said, and pulled Zhumen opened the study and walked out.

Hearing Lu Chengqi's words, Zhang Yuanchong immediately broke out in cold sweat.He knew the means that the little emperor used to be in charge of the government that time. Could it be that this time blood will flow into rivers again?
