The newspapers of the Hanlin Academy were originally prepared for the title "Tianxiawei Communiqué".

This of course comes from Lin Yanchao's words, "I advise God to shake off and recruit talents without any restrictions." It also comes from "The journey of the great way, the world is for the public."

The world is the public, and the meaning is that the world belongs to the people. This statement comes from the Book of Rites. The Great Chapter of the Great Luck of Rites is a must-read article for every scholar.

However, after the Hanlin Academy reported the name of "The World is Communiqué" to the Ministry of Justice, it was beaten back.

The Tongzheng Department is now very powerful. The three major newspapers of the Ministry of Rites, the Hanlin Academy, and the Censorate are all approved by the Tongzheng Department, so they can make a 100% decision on this matter.

The reason given by the Tongmasatsu Department said that the registration was inappropriate and the name was too exaggerated.

The Hanlin people were puzzled, why can we pass the "Heavenly Prosperity" of the Ministry of Rites and the "Huangming Times" of the Censorate, and why can't we pass the name?

Some people also noticed that when Lin Yanchao first gave advice, the "world is the public memorial" was called this newspaper, which easily caused unnecessary suspicion, so he was beaten back by Tongzhengsi.

The cabinet means protecting the Hanlin Academy, but it aroused the indignation and frustration of the Hanlins.

Xiao Liangyou, who was the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, immediately submitted a memorial to oppose the Tongzhengsi Department's move.

Xiao Liangyou's memorials said that the book says that the emperor has no relatives, but virtue is the auxiliary. The people's hearts are impermanent, but only the desire for favor.

...Therefore, what the heaven sees is what the people see, what the heaven hears is what the people hear, so that the will of heaven is the will of the people...

Xiao Liangyou expressed his indignation towards the Tongzhengsi and his article was full of talent, and quoted the Shangshu "The emperor has no relatives, but virtue is the auxiliary", but was discussed by everyone.

This sentence comes from Cai Zhong's order, it is Zhou Gong's words to warn Cai Zhong, and it is also a sentence that can represent Confucianism.

During the Xia Dynasty, the emperor regarded himself as his destiny.

Jie of Xia said to the people, I am ordered to be in heaven, just like the sun in heaven. Do you say I want to perish, just like the sun will disappear?

Then the people said that the time has passed, I will die together.

Tang destroyed Xia, proving that destiny was not reliable. King Xia ruled with destiny and eventually died.

When the Shang Dynasty came to the Shang Dynasty, he believed in witches and sacrificed people and animals. The Shang king was both a witch and a king, but in the end he was destroyed by Zhou.

After Zhou destroyed Shang, the King of Zhou also doubted whether he could inherit the destiny of heaven.

Zhou regarded himself as Xia, so he also inherited the theory of destiny. In order to explain the change of dynasties, he had the words "The emperor has no relatives, but virtue is the auxiliary. The people's hearts are impermanent, but only the care of favor."

The emperor has no relatives, he only recognizes those who are virtuous as the emperor, and the people have not always supported any emperor, but are just grateful to those who give them favors.

Therefore, only those who are virtuous are in this position of the emperor!

This Zhou Dynasty's explanation of rule was one step closer than that of Xia and Shang dynasties.

From worshiping destiny, superstition to sacrificing and superstition to putting people first, governing virtue, and respecting people's will as God.

Of course, it is different if you say so. But Confucius inherited the Zhou Dynasty’s justice system and regarded this as a Confucian thought.

Therefore, Xiao Liang's memorial immediately attracted discussions among all officials and scholars in the court.

This article is gorgeous and has lofty ideas. Many scholars can't help but applaud when they read it. In the eighth year of Wanli, Lin Yanchao passed the three-year exam, and compared with the Jinshi who were in the same subject, they all seemed dull and dull.

If Xiao Liang hadn't published this article, everyone wouldn't have known that the second place was so talented.

Many officials and scholars supported Xiao Liang's memorials from the bottom of their hearts.

But there are also oppositions among the people.

The opinion is that the emperor has no relatives, but the virtue is the auxiliary sentence comes from Cai Zhong's order, and Cai Zhong's order comes from the Ancient Literature Book. The Ancient Literature Book was personally falsified by your colleague Lin Yanchao, and it is believed that it was a work of the later Confucian scholars.

Since it is fake, how can you use it to prove that it is Zhou Gong’s thought? Aren’t you slapping Lin Yanchao in the face?

The Tongzheng Department did not allow the publication of the name. After this incident, the Hanlin Academy could only change the name and rename the newspaper to "Xinmin Daily".

This sentence comes from the university. The way of university is to show the bright virtue, to be close to the people, and to stop at the ultimate good.

The word "people-friendly" is explained in the university as "new people".

The university also quoted Kang Gao, who was convinced that King Hong should protect the people of Yin and the people of the king, and also helped the king's house and became a new people.

Pan Ming, if you are new, you will be new every day, and you will be new every day.

As the explanation of the word "New People", it means to renew the people and teach the people to be good, but it also opens the wisdom of the people. If the people do not open up the wisdom of the people, the people will not awaken, and the people's will will not become the will of heaven, and the world will be public will not be able to talk about it.

After this insult to change the name, the Hanlin people held their breath.

However, after this incident, the title of Xinmin Daily was also launched.

In addition to rejuvenating the people and teaching the people to be good, the Xinmin Daily under Lin Yanchao also aroused the indignation of countless corrupt scholars, that is, allowing advertisements to be published.

The so-called advertising means to advertise. Any merchant can publish his or her advertisements on the Xinmin Daily and advertise his or her products to the people.

But this move is really too much. A gentleman speaks righteousness but not profit.

Why did a good Hanlin Academy start to be filled with the smell of money under the auspices of Lin Yanchao?

Therefore, the Xinmin Daily also aroused the firm resistance of some corrupt scholars.

However, it doesn't matter to Lin Yanchao. The ideas of these people are already deeply rooted. Even if their Xinmin Daily is well-written, it cannot save these people or reverse their ideas.

People who like them will naturally like them. No matter how hard you work, others will not like you.

On the contrary, Lin Yanchao used advertising revenue, part of which was used as the editors and editors of Xinmin Daily as Runbi subsidies, and the other part was used to reduce the cost of newspapers and expand sales at low prices.

Among the three major newspapers of the Ministry and the Court, although the sales volume of Xinmin Daily is not the highest, its cost-effectiveness is the highest.

The population of Beijing is one million, and there are countless officials. As for the high-ranking officials and their children, they are also ordinary educated. In addition, there are thousands of scholars and students from the Imperial College, and the literacy rate is close to 10%, which is far higher than the rate of 5% in the Ming Dynasty, and even higher than that of wealthy places like Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Moreover, after five or six years of popularizing Yixue in the capital, the population of word recognition in the capital has gradually increased. Young people read books and newspapers, broaden their knowledge and understand the great things in the world through reading books and newspapers, which in turn promotes their desire to learn, and such a virtuous cycle is gradually forming.

At the same time, in order to increase the sales volume of newspapers, increase timeliness, and make newspaper reading more beautiful, Lin Yanchao abandoned the original wooden movable type and clay movable type printing, and as for woodblock printing, it was thrown aside.

Lin Yanchao directly used copper movable type printing to print Xinmin Newspaper.

This is absolutely unimaginable for the Yanjing Times, which was originally founded by Lin Yanchao, and the major private newspaper offices in the capital.

Because there are thousands of Chinese characters commonly used, the cost of such a set of copper movable type printing molds is more than 100,000 taels of silver. How many private newspapers in the capital have this confidence?

Even if some wealthy folk bookstores in Jiangnan, such as Wuxi Huafa Huitongguan, Lanxuetang and Anshi Guipoguan claimed to use copper movable type printing, they did not have thousands of Chinese characters in their entirety. Most of them used whatever books they wanted to print, using the method of using the method of casting and printing while printing. This was simply inaccessible to the timeliness and affordability of newspapers.

In comparison, Western metal printing only has twenty-six letters, plus a few hundred metal fonts at most. Westerners evaluated several civilizations that changed the course of humanity in history, and movable type printing must be among the top ten, but for flower growers, movable type printing is a big pit, and movable type printing is the most important copper for movable type printing. For the Ming Dynasty, it is money making. Who is willing to use real money to engrave books?

This incident was not until modern times that led type printing was introduced from the West to solve the problem. Lin Yanchao's troubles when he ran the Yanjing Times did not exist for him today.

Although the threshold for copper movable type printing is extremely high, it is not a problem for him at all.

Because one of the only sets of copper movable type printing tools in the imperial court was in his hands. There was a department in the Zhanshi Mansion called the Sijing Bureau, which was specifically responsible for the collection and printing of royal books. It happened to have a set of copper movable type molds handed down from the Xuande period, which were specially used to print royal books. The copper movable type printing is beautiful and clear, and durable, and is not comparable to wooden movable type.

As the head of the Zhanshifu, Lin Yanchao's "borrow" copper movable type printing tools from the Sijing Bureau, which is not a matter of one sentence.

The court has mastered the largest and most resources in the world. Lin Yanchao is not the same as before. It is really a very comfortable thing for him to call resources.

As for the people, even if they have money, they will find craftsmen to make it. They really don’t know what happened in the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

As soon as the Xinmin Daily was released, its advertisements were immediately shocking. The advertisements in the first few pages such as "Famous prostitutes gathered together, selection of courtesans, and opening brothels" made several old scholars faint after reading the newspaper.

The style of Wanli was both conservative and open. At this time, the gold and plums had already spread from north to south, and the high-ranking officials and nobles did not shy away from talking. However, there were also a lot of people who insisted on "all evil lust as the leader". The old and new styles were intertwined, making many people confused and at a loss.

At this time, Xinmin Daily opened a window and a door. In addition to the smell of copper and vulgar advertisements, there were also novel experiences everywhere, the prosperity of Suzhou and Hangzhou, the endless talks overseas, the high nose and deep-necked Franchise people, and serious current affairs, fair and objective.

The newspaper follows the purpose of telling but not writing. The article is almost vernacular. For the sake of printing, it abandons all rare and different characters and only uses common words to make articles. What the newspaper says is both secular and profound, both laughing at and can be thought of for a moment.

For many young scholars, they found themselves in the newspapers and made them know the vastness of the world. For Lin Yanchao, who was worried about many people, there was no such thing as a dispute between the Neo-Confucianism and the study of merit.

People's hearts have begun to float, and being content with one's own will not be the long-term way. You have to go out and take a look.

The Tongzhengsi, who has the right to speak for all criticisms, turned a blind eye to this. The reason is very simple, because Lin Yanchao gave the money. Later, the protest was too loud, so Xinmin Daily changed to play the edge ball, and as for the gentleman who was despised, he could only despise him.

In the first month of discussion, Xinminbao, which was beautifully printed, cheap and all-encompassing, was already profitable.
