Chapter 308: Can't live, unsatisfactory life

Yang Jing has not lived a very comfortable life these days. Logically speaking, he has already trapped all the ministers and should be happy. However, Yang Jing has become more and more sad, more and more heartwarming, and more and more painful.

Yang Jie handled daily government affairs in the Ganqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, the sales volume of the mansion newspaper has dropped again, only two or three thousand copies, which is more than half of the highest seven or eight thousand copies." Fan Weicheng reported the matter uneasy in front of the emperor.

Yang Jingwei was very calm on the surface, but in his heart, he was anxious and anxious. He had a mouth sore because of his anxiety and anxiety. As soon as he spoke, he would touch the wound, which made Yang Jingwei grin.

"Hiss..., two or three thousand copies? That's so small? That's right?" Yang Jing didn't care about the wound in his mouth when he spoke. He asked, "I haven't lived a good life these days. I was already in a state of turmoil, but now it's even more rotten in my mouth."

"Your Majesty, yes, the people were curious about this and bought a lot of people. Even if they couldn't afford it, they could pay several people to buy one and get one. However, for some reason, there were not many people buying it. In addition to the capital, there were also many places that sold a lot of numbers. Otherwise, the capital alone would be less than two or three thousand copies." Fan Weicheng explained.

"What's the reason? Have you found it?" Yang Jing asked, who had high hopes for this mansion. At that time, it would play a killer role. It was to compete with the Donglin Party for public opinion. It was now impossible to sell it. Yang Jing asked without caring about the ulcers on his mouth and mouth.

"Reply to Your Majesty, I guess... it's still a little expensive for the new residence, and there are not many people who can afford it... or there are not many people who can read..." Fan Weicheng had no experience in running a newspaper. When it comes to why, he could only take it for granted.

Yang Jing flipped through these newspapers and read them all by himself. Yang Jing reviewed them hurriedly and concluded that this newspaper had no attractive gimmicks, but was just serious, just political orders, personnel appointments and removals, or rewards, punishments, or ministers' advice. Although some things were written in half-cited words, many things were still written in classical Chinese. How could this be attractive? It is considered to be a good idea to read them without dozing off. Even if there are some strange things, local customs and other things, it can only be said that they are a newspaper with too strong political nature and there is no eye-catching thing.

Yang Jie looked at the new newspaper a little and understood why he couldn't sell it anymore. If this newspaper wanted to sell more, he still had to make some attractive gimmicks. For example, if you print a few girls in three-point style on the newspaper, it might become popular immediately.

"Fan Weicheng, your residence newspaper is handled. The evaluation I gave you is that it is too political and has no attracting everyone's attention. When you go back, you have to think of some ways to get something that attracts people and publish it on it. In this way, your residence newspaper only has two or three thousand copies, even if it sells for 20,000 or 30,000 copies, it is possible." Yang Jing was actually very anxious, but when facing people, he seemed ordinary. Many things, even his own imperial party, cannot be missed. Major matters of life and death must be kept secret.

"I am stupid, I beg your Majesty to give you advice." Fan Weicheng was tortured by this decline in sales every day and went to the palace to give advice. Before he got the emperor's guidance, he did not want to leave. This time he could enter the palace. If this matter continues like this, he may not even have the chance to enter the palace next time.

"Ah... In this way, Shi Shoujiao, in the name of the cabinet, you will issue a request to let the six ministers, nine ministers, provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties all take this new newspaper as a must-read every day, so that officials of all sizes can make a such newspaper to understand the trends of the court. This new newspaper is an important channel for the court and officials to communicate with the people in the future." Yang Jing bluntly stolen the future method, which is a "compulsory" requirement to make a report. Yang Jing believed that with this move alone, his own newspaper could grow stronger.

Shi Fenglai was accompanying the emperor to handle government affairs. When he heard the emperor's orders, he was stunned. Each official of all sizes was one? This..., there are probably thousands of officials of all sizes in the capital. This really requires one copy, so the sales volume of this residence is very considerable.

"Your Majesty, is this appropriate?" Shi Fenglai was unsure of this new thing, it depends on what the emperor said.

"Don't worry about whether it is suitable or not, tell all officials that I will read this new newspaper every day to understand the world's dynamics. It is also quite beneficial for broadening people's horizons. I was in the palace all day long. After reading this newspaper, I felt that it was like every place in my Ming Dynasty... I benefited a lot. You just told all officials that if anyone is unwilling to pay for money to subscribe, I will still give him the newspaper every day. I will pay the money..." Yang Jingwei for the sales of the newspaper and in order to make the newspaper a powerful tool to influence public opinion, he had to put some effort into cultivating it. Even if he paid for money, he had to do it.

Shi Fenglai received the emperor's affirmative reply, and with a guarantee, he immediately replied: "I obey the order and must do it according to Your Majesty's request." Shi Fenglai had no great judgment on major events and almost needed the emperor to make decisions. Shi Fenglai was used to this.

"Well..., my partner, the same is true for the inner court. The leaders and eunuchs of all yamen, who are of grade, must submit reports. In addition, the guards, military supervisors, garrisons, weaving, etc. outside the country, including the accountants I sent, all need to submit this new style of residence. Do you understand?" Yang Jing refused to do it, and the ministers asked for submissions, and the eunuchs had no reason not to submissions. Now the sales of this residence are no longer worried.

"I will take the order, so let me continue to give you the order." Wang Chengen agreed without hesitation. What the emperor asked the eunuchs to do? That was because he looked down on eunuchs and didn't need to think too much about it.

Fan Weicheng felt very happy. He came to the palace this time. According to the emperor's method, his official report now had a sales volume of more than 10,000.

"Fan Weicheng, you have to find a way. I can only help for a while, but I can't help for a lifetime. The new mansion must enhance its attractiveness. Otherwise, if you give it to someone else to wipe your butt, others will still feel that it is hard."

"I understand that I will definitely think of ways according to Your Majesty's wishes and increase the sales volume." Fan Weicheng was very happy. The emperor's hand, a few simple words, could double his sales several times. What else should he think of? Just stay at home and have fun.

Fan Weicheng left, and Yang Jie continued to sit in the Ganqing Palace to handle government affairs.

Yang Jie was looking at some information collection collected by the Jinyiwei. This is necessary every day, and it is necessary to understand the movements of all officials, the capital, outside the pass, and even overseas. Yang Jie looked at the Jinyiwei's intelligence compilation for a while.

"Hiss...Ouch..." Yang Jie didn't move his mouth for a long time, and suddenly wanted to speak. Where did he know that as soon as he opened his mouth, he had just opened his mouth and before he could speak, he touched the mouth sores and wounds in his mouth, and it was so painful that he shouted.

Wang Chengen hurried over to serve him, asking with concern what was going on, and the others also looked at the emperor with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a few bubbles in your mouth, which hurts when it pulls the wound. My companion, I'll bring me a few bowls of heat-clearing and fire-reducing medicine prescribed by the imperial physician. I want to reduce the fire." Yang Jie felt more painful when he opened his mouth. Once he said something, there was nothing else. He also gave this a "hiss" before saying it, which was very annoying, so he decided to reduce the fire properly.

After a while, the little eunuch came over with a few bowls of medicine. The eunuch who tried it had already tried it. Yang Jie picked up a bowl of fire-reducing medicine and drank it clean in one breath. After drinking one bowl, he still felt unsatisfied. He picked up another bowl, and drank it again in one breath. After drinking a few bowls, Yang Jie didn't continue to drink it. The blister on his mouth was so blistering that he couldn't stand it.

Several ministers who accompanied the emperor to handle government affairs were also surprised to see the emperor drinking medicine in this way! What made the emperor so anxious and get angry like this.

After Yang Jie finished drinking the medicine, he waved the eunuchs and wrote some words on the paper with his pen, handed them to Wang Chengen, and said, "Big companion, according to my intention, publish articles in the name of eunuchs..." Yang Jie said to Wang Chengen in a low voice.

"Abide by the order, Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen first obeyed the order habitually, and then took the emperor's paper and was shocked. The emperor wrote on the paper, "The emperor's paper is "The great masters love the ancient style, and their actions are worthy of praise and criticism... They are all noble and concise, and they are all in the nobles, and they are carrying swords and bows. They have a factory man with a poem that seems to be a limerick, but these few words even speak of their hearts.

Wang Chengen was so moved that he burst into tears and said softly: "Your Majesty, I can be so respectful to Your Majesty. I am content with you. I know Your Majesty's goodness. I will recite Your Majesty's goodness in everything I do..." As he said, he was sobbing, and he was really crying. Although the emperor's poem has the essence of a limerick, his words praised their eunuchs to heaven. The emperor is the eunuch's confidant!

"Haha, great companion, there is no need to do this. Recently, some ministers are gathering together and discussing quarrels with me. They want me to learn the words of the saints, and to completely give up tax increases. Some ministers even said they want me to let me..., Oh, let's not say anything, anyway, those ministers need to find something for them. Haha, I will send you ministers to fight with these priests. You will soon send someone to sort out the famous eunuchs in history, the eunuchs with great achievements, and the eunuchs with great achievements, and the eunuchs with great achievements, and then assign this poem I have given you, and say in the mansion that the eunuchs are good and criticize those priests... Do you understand?" Yang Jing and Wang Chengen murmured in a low voice.

Yang Jing received a report from the Jinyiwei that "some people" in the capital were dissatisfied with the emperor's actions, gathered together and talked about some of His Majesty's affairs. Yang Jing could still tolerate other things, it didn't matter, but there was one thing that could not be tolerated and had to take immediate measures, that is, those "prose Confucians", the Donglin Party actually talked about abolishing this new style of residence and continuing to use the previous manual copying of residence. They probably also vaguely felt that this new style of residence was on their right to public opinion.

Yang Jingwei couldn't sit still anymore and immediately sent this likable poem that he had heard in the 21st century, letting his eunuchs come forward and fight with those "prose Confucians" and "corrupt scholars" in the palace newspaper, and then whisper, divert their attention and force them to fight with them, so that their attempt to destroy the palace newspaper was completely lost. If they didn't accept the advice, the eunuchs would scold them enough. If they accepted the advice, what else could they do except whisper with the eunuchs in the palace newspaper? This palace newspaper would not be ruined for ten thousand years.

"I understand, I obey the order, let's prepare now, Your Majesty will see the good show tomorrow..." Since Wang Chengen received the emperor's order, no matter what it is, he will execute it first, and he will resolutely execute it.

"Okay! My partner, the deeds of these famous eunuchs should be as well-founded as possible. Historical facts should be used to scold those literati to the point of being silly... They should make them go crazy when they see this mansion report..." Yang Jing said with malicious intentions, and was quite proud in his heart: You like to slap me at any time. Now, I also want to slap you to slap you, drag you to death, and let you ruin my business. Yang Jing can tolerate anything, but to do the abortion of the mansion report, Yang Jing can't tolerate it. If you have to slap the newspaper, then will you control the power of public opinion be empty? If the atomic bomb explodes in the future, wouldn't it even be blown up to pieces?

"I understand that this matter is not only the willingness and willingness of the slaves in the inner court. I am afraid that all the slaves in the inner court will be willing and willing. Your Majesty, don't worry, this time, I must be good-looking..." Wang Chengen said happily. Their eunuchs have always been demoted to nothing by literati. Now the emperor has given a chance to fight with literati on the formal "stage" to prove that they are also useful and loyal. This is really a rare opportunity.

"Okay! Just pay more attention to this matter and instruct a reliable person to follow this matter specifically." Yang Jingwei said.

"Abide by the order, I understand." Wang Chengenhuan replied happily.

Wang Chengen went out to do this happily.

Several ministers who assisted the emperor in handling political affairs inexplicably looked at the emperor and the chief executive there whispering something, but they couldn't hear it clearly. The chief executive officer Wang was holding a piece of paper and happily went out. Maybe something was going to be done, everyone was guessing.

The Qianqing Palace returned to tranquility, and Yang Jing continued to handle government affairs.

After a while, Wang Chengen came back, with a spring breeze on his face, and his old face was so bright that it was sweeter than eating a few pounds.

"Your Majesty, Master Xu's secret box." As soon as Wang Chengen came back, he gave the emperor something.

"Secret box?" Yang Jie stopped working, looked at the secret box in Wang Chengen's hand, checked the seal and locks, they were all intact. Take out the key and opened it. It was the letter written by Xu Guangqi to him. The first one given to this secret box was Mao Wenlong. Yang Jie now also received "private messages" from Mao Wenlong to him from time to time, which were all about expressing loyalty and recording daily life. Yang Jie also often wrote some reply messages in daily life, which was considered to be related to this military town on the border. The second secret box was given to Xu Guangqi. This was the first time Yang Jie received "private messages" from Xu Guangqi.

Yang Jie saw this secret box and felt that the mouth sores in his mouth were getting more and more painful.

"Hiss...Ouch..." Yang Jie screamed in pain. This time he didn't say anything, the mouth sores were hurting. The symptoms were getting worse and worse. The reason was that the things that caused him to have mouth sores. Now, there is another source.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Do you want to call the imperial physician to come and see him?" Wang Chengen was frightened by the emperor's "Ouch", and the emperor's scream was "miserable".

"It's okay, it's okay! It's just a toothache that doesn't matter. Make me some bitter tea, and I'll still reduce the fire." Yang Jie's symptom is obviously a mouth ulcer caused by high mental tension and excessive anxiety.

Wang Chengen looked at the emperor and could only make bitter tea for the emperor according to the emperor's wishes.

Yang Jing looked at the secret box written by Xu Guangqi for himself with concern, and it revealed that he had arrived in Shaanxi. Many matters were gradually going on. Everything was well and the immigration was still smooth. The people were grateful to the emperor when he heard that the emperor was willing to save them tens of millions of taels of silver. Many people who were affected had begun to take the initiative to find them. He had begun to recruit disaster victims to save themselves by using the method of labor-for-relief. He was gradually setting up relief points on the Yellow River and the coast of the tributaries to receive immigrants. The grain from Jiangnan has begun to be transported to Shaanxi. The transfer work will begin with the arrival of the first batch of grain transport ships. Immigration officials sent to various lakes to contact them are almost everywhere. They will be responsible for contacting local governments and contacting them. Once the immigrants arrive, they will immediately start the lake-surrounding and field construction project, and strive to plant good fields on a large scale next year and complete the emperor's mission.

Yang Jing looked quite comfortable and relieved, but when he saw the following, his mouth sores broke out. In the following content, Xu Guangqi explained to the emperor that four or five million taels of silver for the immigrant disaster relief, and most of the land tax depends on autumn tax, so the money will be gathered until next year at the latest. Although the land was built during the immigration process and distributed to households, the immigrants would be given the twenty-ten thousand trump sum of money to settle the house. However, the immigrants had to pay for the food, drink, defecation and urination for nearly a year. Therefore, almost half of the ten thousand taels of silver were used to do this, so,

In a month, he would have to spend at least 400,000 taels of silver, and the more than one million taels of silver he brought could support for three months. At most, it would have to be supported by the end of August and early September. Otherwise, all the efforts of immigration work would be wasted. Xu Guangqi and the emperor tactfully mentioned that now, one month has passed, and because it is started, the cost is more. Just mobilizing grain, hiring ships, buying ships, building ships, and other expenses, as well as the immigrant officials' expenses, etc., and asked the emperor whether there was any news about the salt tax and the summer tax. Although the land tax and summer tax were not much, could it be evenly enough for him first?

It is another two or three months to ask for money, Yang Jing felt that his mouth ulcers seemed to be in great pain! I won’t talk about the land tax, it all depends on the autumn tax. How many summer tax can be collected? As for the autumn tax, others can pay it next year at the latest, so don’t urge it, it’s legal and reasonable. For the salt department, now that the Hotan tax has fallen to the point, others can also pay taxes according to the autumn tax, that is, it’s legal and reasonable to pay taxes next year, so don’t urge it...

Yang Jing is about to collapse.

Xu Guangqi said that he needed at least 400,000 taels per month. Once the immigration work was fully launched, the money would be like flowing water, and it would be impossible to stop it, and it would be even more impossible to interrupt the money.

In addition, there are 100,000 from Mao Wenlong, 100,000 from Yuan Chongyuan, 100,000 from his new army, and Man Gui and others who guard the capital have to be a lot every month. In addition, there are also people from a chariot camp in Shaanxi to train troops. They have to give some private money to Bi Zisu, and also prepare some for Liu Jishan, prepare rewards and support for Lin Danhan. The Mongolian Imperial Army also needs money to clear out the Mongolian right wing. This is a military operation and it is definitely necessary. I am also preparing to transport troops to North Korea to fight guerrillas by the end of this year... and I must prepare money, and I am also vigorously building warships and renting fleets... and I have agreed in the first half of the year to reissue two million taels of unrepeated sounds on each side in the second half of the year..., expenses in my palace, expenses in the Beijing camp...

Yang Jing had already caused false fire to run around and mouth sores to grow because of these astronomical bills. Now he received Xu Guangqi's secret box, and now he was really in a state of collapse.

"Hiss..., oh..." Yang Jie held down the most painful place in his mouth sore and screamed "Ouch". This day is impossible. His own treasury is only one million taels of silver. He has to use money in such a lot of places and can't support it for a month! The most hateful thing is that the money is concentrated in the second half of this year. If it can be reached until the end of this year, there is no need to be afraid. He cut down the Shanxi merchants with one knife and has all the money. When the storm swept across the country broke out, is there still less money to be searched? Unfortunately, he can't get to the end of this year now.

Even if the 2 million taels of silver that Liu Yanyuan won, the 2 million taels of silver would be enough for him to spend one or two months, at most, October is still one or two months before the end of the year. October is still the day to start the Korean battlefield by himself. Once the fleet arrives, it will be impossible to have no money, and it will take some money. How can I live this? What's even more hateful is that I want to cut down Shanxi merchants, big merchants, and even those decadent bureaucrats.

We need to win over some people to stand on our side. These people are the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp and the official troops on each side. Although these are not core guns, they are also within the scope of the win over. To cut people, the gun must be firm, and not let a gun be spared. Therefore, the reimbursement of military pay must be distributed to the government troops before cutting off the Shanxi merchants. That is two million taels! We cannot spend money after cutting off the Shanxi merchants... Yang Jing can only cry in his heart when he thinks of this.

Could it be that if you borrow money from the bank to live, and try to go until next year? But when will the issuance of the bill be delayed? Yang Jingwei was unwilling to give up. Then, if the bank borrows money, the vassal kings, nobles, and all officials can make themselves happy?

Yang Jingyu can't live his life.
Chapter completed!
