Chapter 301 Public Opinion War

Thanks to the two "happiness is the most important" and "Lion Head" for their donations of 100 taels!

"Extra! Extra!"

"The boss of the Donglin Party and the Minister of Rites, Han Yu, kowtowed three times to Eunuch Wei!"

"Mr. Han was in tears of pain: The court is sorry to Eunuch Wei!"

"Xing'anbo said that the personal army has made contributions to the country, and the court must not let the soldiers feel disappointed!"

"Wu Qinghou said that the court had a traitor, which turned the black and white, causing Eunuch Wei and his personal soldiers to suffer unjust injustice!"

"The thirteen yamen in the palace unanimously stated that the father-in-law Wei Liangchen was loyal to His Majesty and to the Ming Dynasty!"

""

Before dawn in the morning, the streets and alleys of Beijing suddenly heard the crisp shouts of children at the same time, attracting countless people to go out of their homes to see what was being shouted outside. Then they each got a copy of the "Imperial Ming Daily News Extraordinary Issue".

Free, don't even have a copper cow, free.

The whole eight large pieces of paper are combined together. "The Outside of the Imperial Ming" is full of weight and the news above is full of impact, which is something that ordinary people in the capital have no way to hear.

Whether it is time, place, characters, or the words and deeds of both parties, the writer tells the truth, and even comes with special illustrations to make readers immersive.

The capital was the essence of the empire, and the people had a high literacy rate. Therefore, the news recorded outside the account quickly caused a sensation in the city and a sensation.

"Is this? Could it be that Wei Yi was really wronged? Didn't he lead his troops into Beijing to rebel?"

"I know Mr. Han. He is a talented man. Even he kowtowed to Wei Yansan, which means that the court has really wronged others."

"Of course they are not here to rebel. Didn't they read what the newspaper said? The emperor is seeking traitors! The emperor is in front and the evil one is behind! Alas, it's all the emperor, how could it be a rebellion?"

"Well, the soldiers of the personal army were pacified by slaves outside the pass, but they did not receive rewards from the court. Just because Eunuch Wei was an eunuch, the court became suspicious and wanted to cut off the military power of others, dismiss the official position, and drove them to Fengyang to grow vegetables. This is not typical of crossing the river and destroying bridges. Ah, no, it is obvious that he framed the heroes!"

"I have heard of those nursery rhymes in Beijing recently? It's sung well. Dadong is cowardly and owes debts. Xiaodong's party fights to resist the sages. The heaven punishes the traitors in the country. Today, the emperor is a traitor. Our Wanli master is in the dynasty. This party struggles is a big deal. The parties in the court fight him today, and tomorrow he fights you. It's not a day since they are all said that others are traitors and they are good people, but who are good people? I don't know anything else, I know that it was Eunuch Wei who put down Jiannu for the court, and the one who taught the Japanese a lesson for the court. Just for these two achievements, I don't believe that Eunuch Wei is a traitor who is a traitor in the temple. He wants to subvert the foundation of the country."

"Eat and wear damn it. It doesn't sound right if the Imperial Army comes or not to pay grain. How can the country maintain the Imperial Army really come or not to pay grain? I said Lao Zhao, don't be deceived by this extradition. How can you do such a good thing in the world?"

"Old man Han, do you believe it. Turn to page seven and then tell me about this after reading it."

"Is that true, what?"

Lao Han turned to the seventh page in confusion, but found an article on the right of the seventh page, titled "The best way to effectively promote the reduction of the burden on the people is to change the consumption of grain to buying grain."

The article proposes that China has implemented the system of paying grain and taxes since ancient times. This system is based on the fact that the ploughers have their own land. However, now the land annexation situation in various places in the Ming Dynasty is serious, and the ploughers may not have their own land. Therefore, for example, the tough paying taxes on the number of land acres will only continue to deepen the burden on the people. If there is another natural disaster or military affairs, the people will be dragged down by the heavier taxes, which will eventually lead to civilian change, which will evolve into refugees, and refugees will develop into bandits, so that the country will have no peace.

How to solve this practical problem? The author of the article Zhong Sheng quoted the fifth volume of the "Collected Works of Wei Liangchen, the eunuch of the Admiral's personal army, and pointed out that only when the state changes the payment of grain to buying grain and purchases the food in the hands of the people through real money and silver, can the disease that has been fundamentally curbed for two thousand years.

However, the premise of this policy is that the treasury must have enough money, and the money of the treasury comes from the taxes of the people.

This is a dead knot.

However, under the far-sighted maritime affairs of the Admiral and Eunuch Wei Liangchen, under the spirit of His Majesty the Emperor's "to make money, go overseas", this dead knot can be cut and become a knot that does not exist at all.

The author of the article pointed out that Wei Liangchen, who was worried about the country and the people and had a humble background, felt deeply the suffering of the people, and then devoted himself to maritime affairs, thus feeding back to the court through huge overseas profits, bringing new economic growth points to the Ming Dynasty, no longer relying on the traditional small-scale peasant model, liberating farmers from the land, activate domestic and overseas markets, and finally achieving a prosperous country and strong people.

It’s like a pool of water that keeps absorbing the pool water and will always dry out, but if a few streams are introduced next to it, the pool water will never dry out and will develop into a lake.

"Maintain our people with overseas benefits!"

The purpose of the article is here, and the impact of overseas huge profits on the country is specifically explained based on the two incidents of the emperor's personal army's expedition to Japan and pacifying Jiannu.

"If Eunuch Wei had not been able to carry out maritime affairs with a persistent and large-scale maritime business, where would the military expenditure come from?"

"Recently, the Dukes in the court have repeatedly suspected Duke Wei, and even framed them to get rid of them quickly, all because they were blinded by the Dukes, conservative and unaware of their progress."

"That's the reason! I didn't expect that Wei Yin, no, I didn't expect that Eunuch Wei had such a long-term vision, thinking what people today could not think of, doing what people today could not do, it was really amazing!"

Lao Han put in the newspaper, "If we can really use overseas benefits to support our people and make our people no longer pay food, then Duke Wei will benefit our China more than Saint Confucius!"

""

"Zhongsheng" is the pseudonym of Ruan Dacheng who passed the imperial examination and became a pedestrian. "The Extraordinary Issue of Huangming Daily" is Ruan Dacheng's hands and feet.

After Eunuch Wei proposed that the public opinion work in the capital was greatly backward and even did not play a role at all, Ruan Dacheng was appointed as the editor-in-chief of the Emperor Ming Daily in the face of danger.

There was no regulation that civil servants in the Ming Dynasty were not allowed to work part-time, and Ruan Dacheng, a pedestrian, had no job in the court, so he had enough energy to carry out drastic reforms to the distribution and editing of the Huangming Daily in Beijing.

Ruan Dacheng, who has served as the secretary of Eunuch Wei for many years, is naturally familiar with the manuscripts, and the manuscripts are released like assembly lines.

However, in the issuance, Ruan Dacheng adopted the free strategy for the first time and spent money to hire about a thousand children from the capital to send reports in the early morning.

Some of these children are orphans, but most of them are children from civilian families. They go out to deliver newspapers in the morning every day and receive hundreds of coins a month. This is a surprise fortune for these civilians, so why not do it?

The army of newspapers composed of thousands of children fell into the entire capital almost instantly. The free distribution strategy of Huangming Daily worked miraculously. The public opinion in the capital, which had always been very bad for Eunuch Wei and the Imperial Army, began to change. As the situation further moved, public opinion gradually moved closer to Eunuch Wei's side.
