I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 315 Reporters

In this way, Li Tian expressed the court's idea of ​​levying commercial taxes.

Whether it is Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong or other people who know the inside story, they all admire Li Tian's move.

If this matter is discussed above the court, no matter how harsh Li Tian's words are, no matter how serious he states the relationship.

This important matter involving the vital interests of a large number of officials will definitely be greatly hindered.

At that time, it is possible for the supporters and the opposition to confuse their brains.

But in this way it is completely different.

The content of the Beijing News is a kind of commentary, which can express the views of Li Tian and others without substantive actions.

Those officials who strongly opposed it could not even use this as an excuse to attack.

And the wind has been let out, and people in the entire capital are discussing this matter, whether they want to admit it or not, the facts are before their eyes, and they have to make a decision.

Do you intend to persevere in resistance, or follow the general trend and prepare to compromise.

Everyone is already prepared.

When the public opinion was one-sided, Li Tian and others were using the corresponding strategy, which was completely in time.

Whether to release it, or even when it will be released, is already under control.

No matter what the final result is, the final winner is Li Tian and others.

……

The shock caused by this first edition of the Beijing News is far more than just business taxation.

Whether it is the analysis of the meaning of the imperial court holding the labor examination, or the meaning of recruiting new workers in the soap workshop, it has sparked various discussions among different groups of people.

When some people figured out that Gongju is not limited to craftsmen, they regret that they did not have a deeper understanding, and they cried bitterly because they regretted that they missed this time.

Some people rushed to the workshop for interviews immediately after hearing that the workshop was recruiting new workers.

Some people, after learning about the benefits of Quyuanli, have a premonition that this thing will become popular. They think this is a good opportunity to make a fortune, and plan to open a workshop dedicated to making Quyuanli.

A few pieces of news, but it involves all aspects, as if in the densely populated city of the capital.

Like dropping a few heavy bombs, the calm capital city was completely stirred up, and all kinds of tides kept surging.

However, Li Tian, ​​who was the instigator of all this, was not in the palace at this time, but was wearing casual clothes.

In a lively restaurant with three floors, listening to the discussions of various people in the restaurant on the contents of the Beijing News.

Two scribes who looked like scholars were discussing while drinking,

"I never imagined that the king of Han would be so extravagant and lustful. The wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and the roads are frozen to death. The ancients never deceived me with their sincerity!"

"Hush, keep your voice down, if people find out, you won't be afraid that the King of Han will punish your nine clans!"

"Hmph, what am I afraid of? The Beijing News is all over the capital right now. No matter how powerful the King of Han is, it's impossible to kill everyone who has read the Jing Jing News..."

Another wave of people said,

"I don't know who came up with the brilliant idea of ​​this Beijing News. This is only the first edition, and so many important news have already been published.

If this is the case in every edition from now on, I am afraid there will be no secrets in this world that cannot be told. "

"Okay, don't say a few words, the Beijing News has just come out. So much news is released.

It might be that Jin Yiwei and the people from Dongchang have conspired, and they are just waiting to collect your comments so that you can be caught. "

Hearing the discussion of these people, Li Tian couldn't help but smiled wryly, and asked Jiang Bao beside him,

"By the way, what is that guy Huang Yan doing recently? I haven't seen him for a long time."

Jiang Bao thought for a while before saying,

"Some time ago, didn't His Majesty ask him to monitor the words and deeds of the censors? It is estimated that Governor Huang is still busy with this matter."

Li Tian smiled lightly and said,
"Huang Yan's work efficiency is getting worse and worse. Go back and tell him that if he doesn't find any useful information, he doesn't have to come back."

Although Jiang Bao didn't have a deep friendship with Huang Yan, but they all came to this position step by step since they were young eunuchs, and they felt a little sympathetic to each other.

Hearing what Li Tian said, he said cautiously,
"Your Majesty, Governor Huang's Dongchang not only has to inspect all the officials, but also is responsible for arresting, apprehending, interrogating and other important positions. It is understandable that he is busy for a while. Your Majesty, do you think..."

Li Tian raised his eyebrows, glanced at Jiang Bao, and felt that the relationship between these two guys was definitely not bad in private, and they would actually excuse him, and wanted to test him out, so he pretended to be annoyed and said,
"I can find out the news from him in this restaurant, what's the use of him, what's the use of Dongchang!

If you protect him so much, do you also take advantage of him? "

Jiang Bao thought Li Tian was really angry, and almost knelt down in fright, and hurriedly argued,
"Your Majesty calm down, the old slave made a slip of the tongue for a moment, and the old slave turned around to mention Governor Huang..."

Seeing how frightened he was, Li Tian suddenly felt bored, and waved his hands, saying,
"It's really worthless. It's just a joke. It scares you."

Jiang Bao wanted to kneel down to plead guilty, but was afraid of revealing Li Tian's identity, so he kept bending his legs, which made him very embarrassed.

Hearing what Li Tian said, he said in a sad tone while wiping his sweat,

"Your Majesty, this old slave has a lot of bones, but I can't stand your threats!"

The reason why Li Tian mentioned Huang Yan just now is because this kind of time is indeed a good time to collect the thoughts of officials and common people.

If Huang Yan can take advantage of this opportunity, maybe he can find out some useful information.

But after the conversation with Jiang Bao just now, Li Tian suddenly thought of a good idea.

That is to add some reporters to the Beijing News Department.

Compared with the role of Jin Yiwei in Dongchang, which makes people talk about it, the role of reporters, who is more close to the people, is actually easier to penetrate into the masses of the people. They are the ones who can really find out the suffering of the people.

It is estimated that the names of Jinyiwei and Dongchang as tigers and wolves cannot be eliminated in a short period of time, and it is impossible for Li Tian to come out every day to conduct polls by himself.

Therefore, the addition of journalists will play a big role in helping him grasp the real public opinion.

Thinking of this, he broke his heart,
"Simply open up another public opinion section on the Beijing News, and let them speak out and report things that they usually dare not say or can't say."

Just like those exposed news in later generations, anonymous reporting is adopted, so that the court will have another channel to punish and expose corrupt officials.

The Beijing News can also report more and more attractive content.
