Seven hundred and fortieth chapters ready
"Brother Zongzi's article is so wonderful!
Writing is as pure as nature!
I am lucky enough to read it, which is a pleasure in life!
I think that such wonderful articles published in newspapers will definitely attract countless praises. In addition to Fang Mizhi and Zheng Mingshan’s two Journey to the West, this article by Zongzi can also attract more readers to the newspapers!
Someone who regretted that he failed to meet Zong Zi’s brother as soon as possible, otherwise he would have traveled with his brother in the snow!
How beautiful, so wonderful!
Today is about to be revealed!
It’s a pity that the sky is cold but there is no snow. Otherwise, I would have invited my brother Zong to visit Beihai!”
In a courtyard in the east city of the capital, several officials and officials who were running back and forth were shocked by the sudden shouts from a room. Then, after several people looked at each other, they chatted and laughed quietly while leaving.
This courtyard is a three-entry house, but there is a vertical plaque hanging on one side of the door, with the words "Huangming Pao Society" engraved from top to bottom.
After some careful thinking, Zhu Youjian decided to set up a newspaper and establish a public opinion position. As for whether there will be many unpredictable consequences in the future, it will be left to future generations to solve.
After all, any system must keep pace with the times, and I am not a god who knows about it for five hundred years. It is impossible to ensure that the strategies formulated will conform to the current situation of future society under any circumstances.
Considering the inconveniences in various aspects such as traffic and suspicious information, newspapers will be published in the form of weekly magazines.
The editor-in-chief is also Zhu Shunshui, and there are two deputy editors, namely Wu Weiye and Zhang Dai, as well as scholars of different numbers of scholars and clerks sent by the Ministry of Rites, specializing in collecting and editing manuscript information.
These literati are all students. Although their families are not as poor as poor, they are by no means squandered. The monthly salary of a newspaper with a 3 tael of silver is naturally very attractive.
The one who shouted loudly just now was Wu Weiye.
A short article he wrote for Zhang Dai in the fifth year of Chongzhen was amazing, and what made him praise was a short article "Looking at the Snow in the Pavilion at the Heart of the Lake" that later generations were selected into elementary school textbooks.
In December of the fifth year of Chongzhen, I lived in West Lake. After three days of heavy snow, the sound of people and birds in the lake disappeared.
The snow scene in West Lake was settled on that day. I huddled a small boat, covered the fire, and went to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to watch the snow. The rime was covered with a scattered rime, the sky and clouds, the mountains and the water, and the upper and lower parts were white. The shadows on the lake were only a trace of the long dike, the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and the mustard of me, and two or three people in the boat.
When I arrived at the pavilion, there were two people sitting opposite each other on felt. A boy was soaking wine, and the stove was boiling. When I saw me, I was overjoyed and said, "How can I find this person in the lake?" I drank the same drinks together. I strongly drank three big whites (bowls) and parted. I asked his surname, and he was from Jinling and was here.
When he got off the boat, Zhouzi murmured, "Don't say that my husband is crazy, there are even more stupid people who are like my husband!"
Wu Weiye held this short article in his hand and shaking his head and chanted, as if he had been in the scenery described in the article, and his whole body was integrated with the vast white world.
"My brother Umemura is so praiseworthy!
This article can only be regarded as a pastime after dinner, and there is no such exquisiteness as my virtuous person!
It’s just about describing the scenery and describing things!”
Zhang Dai, who was over 40 years old, stroked his beard and smiled. Although his words were humble, the satisfaction on his face was undoubtedly revealed.
“Good it!
The so-called article has functions that are nothing more than what Zongzi said, describing scenery and objects, and expressing their thoughts!
Although this article is short, it is clear and vivid when read.
Its ethereal crystal reflects the air that makes people fascinate. Looking for his pen and ink, there is nothing left, which is actually a portrayal of the West Lake!
No wonder the court placed Zongzi here, and the newspapers were mainly written in words. This is exactly what my brother is good at!”
Wu Weiye, who was originally a sergeant in the Imperial College in Nanjing, suddenly received an order from the Ministry of Personnel to come north to Beijing to take a new position. He originally thought that he had been sent to Nanjing, a forgotten corner, and his career prospects were already very slim, he was immediately surprised. Then he handed over his job within a few days and took his servants to the capital on a boat.
In fact, in terms of qualifications, this (Yuanyuanqu) author, Mr. Umemura, who was famous in later generations, was still favored by everyone at the beginning of his career.
In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Wu Weiye, who was only 22 years old, passed the imperial examination. He was awarded the Hanlin editor with the second place in the first place and married his wife in the same year. He then served as a lecturer in the East Palace in the third year. However, because of his talent, he was jealous. After being impeached many times, he was sent to Nanjing Imperial College for seven years.
Although the position of Nanjing Imperial College is noble, it is OK to be used as a springboard for promotion. If you are in such a position for a long time and are far away from the sight of the emperor and important officials, it will be difficult to turn over.
Of course, Wu Weiye knew this very well, but because he had no backer in the court, he could only struggle in extreme depression, hoping that the emperor would occasionally think of him.
But both him and his relatives and friends had already secretly determined that his career ended here.
Not to mention the Imperial College, even the officials of the six ministries of Nanjing were either idle or idle in the end. He was such an inconspicuous little official, so the emperor still remembered him.
While rushing to the capital, Wu Weiye thought about it and was always thinking about where the Ministry of Personnel would arrange for him in the end. Although he didn't expect where to go back in the end, he knew in his heart that as long as he was close to the emperor, he could do whatever position he could, and he must not become a forgotten corner.
A few days after arriving in the capital and going to the Ministry of Personnel to report, Wu Weiye received a message from the Ministry of Personnel, asking him to rush to the Ministry of Personnel's office the next day to listen to the lectures of the officials. Then, in his dream, Wu Weiye was taken into the palace and met the emperor with Zhu Shunshui and Zhang Dai.
There were also three cabinet ministers including Wen Tiren, Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu, and several officials from the Ministry of Rites.
After spending the tension and expectation that he had not seen Tianyan for a long time, Wu Weiye and others listened to the emperor's explanation of the importance of newspapers in a state of anxiety. Then each received a copy of the essence and method of how to run a newspaper. Finally, the emperor encouraged them to innovate ideas, explore and move forward in practice, play the important role of the Huangming Weekly, and promote the overall construction of the Ming Dynasty to develop in a virtuous cycle.
In the next month, Wu Weiye, Zhu Shunshui and Zhang Dai discussed and implemented them one by one in the current public housing according to the relevant ideas and methods of running newspapers drafted by Zhu Youjian.
