Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 274 Founding a Newspaper (Seventh Change)
Chapter 279 Founding a Newspaper

Zhu Yingtai nodded and said: "This is the only way to do it now, otherwise brother Ziyang will be ready to face it! Even if brother Ziyang writes to fight back, but brother Ziyang is not as popular as the Lu family in the south of the Yangtze River Fame, unless Brother Ziyang can find an influential and famous Confucian to refute rumors for Brother Ziyang!"

"Public opinion" Ran Ming said: "This is the power of public opinion!"

There was a flash of inspiration in Ran Ming's head, and he suddenly had an idea.

"Newspapers, newspapers, as long as you run a newspaper, you can gradually grasp a powerful force of public opinion. In front of public opinion, even a powerful power sometimes has to keep a low profile.

Henan official Li Xingong raped a girl, including a [-]-year-old girl. He is absolutely perverted. If it weren't for online public opinion, he would not have been punished by law.

My dad is Li Gang's protagonist, Li Qiming, if it weren't for the influence of public opinion, it would be impossible for the victim to get compensation, and he would be punished by law!And that Li Tianyi, if there is no public opinion, with Li Gang's incompetence, there will definitely not even be a wave of this incident.

Ran Ming jumped at Zhu Yingtai excitedly, but when Zhu Yingtai didn't react, he gave her a bear hug, and Ran Ming excitedly said: "Someone has a solution!"

Ran Ming didn't realize that at this moment, Zhu Yingtai's face turned red to the base of her neck!

Zhu Yingtai was stunned by Ran Ming's sudden attack.He has grown up so much, and he has not yet been hugged by the opposite sex like this, Zhu Yingtai was very angry at first.

But looking at Ran Ming who looked like a lunatic, Zhu Yingtai calmed down strangely!With a worried face on his face, he said: "Rumors about Brother Ziyang are flying all over the sky, I don't know how Brother Ziyang will deal with it?"

Ran Ming said sternly: "It's better to be sparse than to be blocked. If you want to be sparse, you must guide!"

Zhu Yingtai understood what Ran Ming meant, but there was a premise.

He just needs to have enough influence. If it is Xie An, even one word can make Lu Qin, even the brothers Lu Na and Lu Shi, will fall into a place of eternal doom, but Ran Ming, no one speaks lightly!Of course, he didn't say this, for fear of hurting Ran Ming's self-esteem.

Zhu Yingtai said euphemistically, "I don't know how brother Ziyang will guide you?"

Ran Ming said: "Publish the newspaper!"

"Run a newspaper?" Zhu Yingtai's expression froze when she heard this, and she couldn't help saying: "The imperial court had a residence newspaper for a long time ago, but it didn't boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians, and besides the officials, no official was willing to read the residence newspaper, so it didn't have any impact. Strength!"

"Di Bao" is the earliest newspaper in my country. It was founded in the early Western Han Dynasty (about the second century BC) more than 2000 years ago.Each county has a Beijing office in Chang'an, the capital city. This residence is called a "di", and there are permanent representatives. Official documents such as imperial edicts and officials’ memorials, as well as relevant political information such as court affairs, were written on bamboo slips or silk, and then sent to the county chiefs by messengers on fast horses through the post roads established by the Qin Dynasty.

Ran Ming curled his lips, secretly thinking that no matter how smart you are, you still have the limitations of the times.

Only those who have lived in the era of information explosion in later generations can truly understand the power of the media and public opinion.

Then, Ran Ming explained: "Although the residence newspaper is good, after all, most of the people who read it are officials. Although the official documents are gorgeous, they are too old-fashioned and boring. Many people just look at the flowers in the fog, but the newspaper is different. , Newspapers can be barnyard official and unofficial histories, or novelty stories, which can be more interesting, and can attract soldiers and civilians to circulate, the so-called nourishing things are silent."

Zhu Yingtai asked suspiciously, "What does this guidance rumor have to do with it?"

Ran Ming said: "At that time, the newspaper will be able to control the will of scholars, and the power of scholars can also be used for my own use!"

"It's so miraculous!" Zhu Yingtai exclaimed, "This is unbelievable!"

Ran Ming said: "There must be difficulties. Now everything is difficult at the beginning. I'm afraid it will not be easy to run this newspaper."

Ran Ming now has printing technology, and the movable type printing technology has matured.

The difficulty is how to make the newspaper famous in the shortest possible time. An unpopular newspaper basically has no lethality. If the number of subscriptions exceeds [-] or more, the influence of the newspaper may More than Xie An!
Zhu Yingtai was also enthusiastic, "What are the difficulties, can Yingtai contribute a little bit?"

Ran Ming said: "Money can turn ghosts around, without money, everything is difficult! But don't worry now, we will have money soon, and newspapers will be on the agenda!"

At this moment, Liu Wei had already dressed up, and she was wearing a green dress at this time, looking charming and moving.Ran Ming said: "Let's go boating on the West Lake."

West Lake was called Qiantang Lake in ancient times.

Ran Ming didn't know that the ten scenic spots of West Lake, which were famous all over the world in later generations, are nowhere to be seen now. Most of these scenic spots were built after Tang and Song Dynasties.The current Qiantang Lake is nothing out of the ordinary, it is just a slightly aura lake!

Zhu Yingshan said: "Brother Ziyang, if you go to play, why don't you go to Lingyin Mountain to have a look!"

Ran Ming said, "Is that the mountain with Lingyin Temple?"

Zhu Yingtai said: "Brother Ziyang also knows about Lingyin Temple!"

Of course Ran Ming of Lingyin Temple knew, no matter how ignorant he was, Monk Jigong must have seen it on TV!

Ran Ming and his party left Qiantang City in four carriages and headed northwest.The carriage went out of the city for several miles and passed Qiantang Lake. Ran Ming took a casual look on the shore and found that there was nothing unusual about this West Lake.

Leaving Qiantang Lake, we walked for more than ten miles and came to a mountain full of peach trees.In the foothills of Lingyin Mountain between Feilai Peak and North Peak.

The mountain road was rugged and horse-drawn carriages could not pass. Ran Ming, Liu Wei, and Zhu Yingtai got out of the car and climbed up the mountain along the artificially paved stone steps. There was a temple on the mountainside. There were no people around here. This temple stands here alone, it's just strange to say that Lingyin Temple has a great reputation in later generations, but now in Ran Ming's view, there is no popularity here, and there are very few incense sticks!
Ran Ming secretly wondered, could this be the Lingyin Temple where Kang Mazi wrote his inscriptions highly praised by Li Er?
Sure enough, after more than [-] steps to the temple gate and turning up the corner, Ran Ming saw three large clerical scripts "Lingyin Temple" written on the plaque.

A little monk in front of the door saw Ran Ming and his party coming, with a smile on his face, he warmly welcomed Ran Ming into the temple!

Although the incense in the temple is poor, the temple is well repaired, and the first floor and the first pavilion are full of atmosphere.Ran Ming first came to the Hall of Heavenly Kings, and looked at Maitreya Buddha, who was very familiar in later generations, sitting on a futon with a smile on his face.Lin Heishan was overjoyed, pointing to the Maitreya Buddha statue and said, "Master, this guy must be a big foodie, he can eat more than me!"

Lin Heishan's words made Zhu Yingtai bend over with laughter, and the little monk's forehead was covered with black lines. He wanted to open his mouth to refute, but seeing Lin Heishan's height like an iron tower, he rationally chose to keep silent!

Following the twists and turns of the little novice monk, he stopped in the backyard of the temple. Here is the main hall, with a single-story triple-layered eaves, majestic and majestic.In the middle of the main hall is a seated lotus statue of Sakyamuni more than ten feet high.

Standing under the Buddha statue, Ran Ming did not kneel like Liu Mo and Zhu Yingtai.

Liu Wei said: "Husband, you also offer a stick of incense to the Buddha!"

Ran Ming didn't speak, took the three sticks of incense from Liu Mo, bowed to the Buddha statue, and then put the incense in the incense altar!At this time, the little novice at the side said, "Why don't you kneel down to the Buddha!"

Ran Ming said, "Where is the Buddha?"

The little novice pointed to the Buddha statue.

Ran Ming pointed to his heart and said: "The Buddha is in the heart, where is the heart? If the heart is empty, how can the Buddha be born? Where does nothing come from the heart? How can there be a Buddha without a heart? Without a Buddha and a heart, where does enlightenment come from? How can one know the Buddha without enlightenment?"

The little novice was speechless, looked at Ran Ming, and suddenly turned around and ran away!
Ran Ming looked at the little novice's back with a faint smile on his face.

Zhu Yingtai smiled and said, "Brother Ziyang, why are you laughing?"

"I think of an allusion, the Buddha said: Looking back five hundred times in the previous life, you can only pass by once in this life." Ran Ming said with a smile: "I was thinking, in this life, I can get to know Brother Yingtai and have a good time with each other. I'm afraid in my previous life, I didn't do anything, I just looked back at you!"

Zhu Yingtai said: "Yingtai has heard of cultivating fate for a hundred years, cultivating identity for a thousand years, and cultivating fate for ten thousand years. What you said is interesting!"

At this moment, a neutral voice sounded, and Ran Ming looked back, only to see that the little monk leading the way outside the main hall brought back a sixteen or seventeen-year-old monk at some point.

There was no ring scar on this little monk's head. The little monk was tall and straight, with handsome features and handsome eyes, and was wearing a gray monk's robe.

The little monk said: "Shanyue said that the Buddha said that looking back five hundred times in the previous life can be exchanged for passing by once in this life. Where did this statement come from? The King of Sound Dharani Sutra? The Sutra of 42 Chapters, the Sutra of the Great Harmony, the Sutra of Rare Comparison of Merit and Virtue, or the Sutra of Bodhi Heart?"

Of course Ran Ming couldn't remember where the words came from, he looked embarrassed, and he pretended to think about it.He knew that it was more than 300 years later that the Tang monk learned the scriptures. At this time, Ran Ming also discovered that there was no Guanshiyin Bodhisattva in the Buddhist temple.So he said: "These words come from the Sutra of Receiving Records from Avalokiteshvara, have you ever heard of this sutra?"

"I don't know, little monk!" The little monk said respectfully, "Thank you for your enlightenment!"

Ran Ming said: "Are you...?"

"The poor monk Faxian!"

"Fa Xian?" Ran Ming was secretly surprised in his heart. Even though he was not familiar with history, he knew that this was the No. 1 Western Paradise in Chinese history.

However, Ran Ming still respects this kind of people with persistent beliefs!

Without much entanglement with Fa Xian, Ran Ming left Lingyin Temple in the afternoon.

He didn't think too much about it either, all he was thinking about was running a newspaper.

However, he also understands that he can't stay in Qiantang for long now, and he must go to Jiankang as soon as possible!
Ran Ming said: "Brother Yingtai, I'm going to leave Qiantang City tomorrow!"
