Wu Hao left, and took the official boat prepared by Wu Haogu for him, and slowly walked west along the Bian River with his ideals and Wu Haogu's advice. He would transfer to the carriage in Baibo, Luoyang, and then head west all the way to Lantian County, located in the hinterland of the Guanzhong Plain.

After sending his younger brother away, Wu Haogu returned to the observation deck on the fourth floor of the Gonghe Building with some complicated thoughts. A sumptuous Kaifeng dish was already on the table. Cai Jing and Cai Longtu were talking about the experience of writing lyrics and writing poems with two beauties who had just arrived to drink. From time to time, he chanted a few poems and essays in a southern Fujian-style Mandarin language that I don’t know who made. It also attracted the two beauties to applaud and praise, and it was really a bit of a kind of scholarly and a treacherous minister.

Wuhan Gu thought: If it was not the Huizong Dynasty but the Renzong, Yingzong, and Shenzong era, becoming such a talented man would probably be the life goal that his family pursued?

It’s a pity that my family has not traveled to a good era, so I can only bite the bullet and dig the corners of the scholars and officials!

"Dalang, come here quickly. I just filled out the song "Manjianghong" and asked Feifei to sing it to you."

"Manjianghong" is a name for a lyric card with 93 characters in the double tune, four rhymes in the first quintessential rhymes, five rhymes in the second quintessential rhymes in the second quintessential rhymes in the second quintessential rhymes in the second quintessential rhymes in the second quintessential rhymes in the second quintessential rhymes in the second quintessential rhymes in the second quintessential rhymes in the second quintessential rhymes. This is a very common lyric card with 93 characters in the second quintessential rhymes in the second quintessential rhymes. By the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, more than a dozen formats have been summarized, and there are still many samples to refer to. It is not difficult to fill

The song "Manjianghong. Summer Flowers" sung by Bai Feifei is definitely not passed down from generation to generation, and the whole piece is full of the taste of prosperity and prosperity. But I don't know that the end of the world is coming and the era of peace and peace is about to pass!

However, the bureaucrats who were in peace and peaceful will be created by the education system serving the imperial examinations from generation to generation. The treacherous minister Cai in front of him is actually outstanding among the people who have worked hard to meet. In Wu Haogu's view, even if the famous ministers of the Renzong Dynasty traveled over, they could not cope with the Jurchens who had cheated! The Jurchens were much more powerful than the Dangxiang people at that time...

Thinking of the dead-knot siege in the prosperous era of Song Dynasty, Wu Haogu couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing Wu Haogu's sigh, Cai Jing lost his mind to Fenghua and Xueyue, and waved his hand to stop Bai Feifei's a cappella.

"What? Are you worried about the important matters of the government? Can you tell me?"

Hearing Cai Jing’s question, Wu Haogu had already taken back his thoughts, and then smiled bitterly: “The official’s mouthpiece that wants to speak and the eyes and ears that sit and watch the world!”

"The mouthpiece and ears and ears?"

Cai Jing frowned and said, "The officials are dissatisfied with the censors or the Imperial College?"

In this era, there are no public opinion tools for the public, so what Cai Jing can think of is the censors and the Imperial College.

"No." Wu Haogu shook his head, then sat down next to Bai Feifei, picked up a piece of fish sashimi, dipped it in the secret sauce produced by the old vinegar of Su family, put it in his mouth and chewed it a few bites, and swallowed it.

"What the officials want is the mouthpiece and ears and ears of the people all over the world, not to be dissatisfied with the censors and the Imperial College."

"For the mouthpiece and ears of the world?" Cai Jing thought for a while, "Is it academy?"

The official and private academies spread all over the Song Dynasty were also part of the Shilin Qingliu, so they naturally controlled some of the public opinion. Since most academies were not under the eyes of the court, they were considered a blind spot for the court to control speech.

"It's not a college," Wu Haogu smiled, and stopped him. "It's a miscellaneous book like Quxing that is regularly printed and published."

"Quxing Magazine?"

Cai Jing was stunned. He had never read this book much. Instead, he must read "Qu Xing" every issue of the "Qu Xing" album, which is the "Imperial Examination Tutorial Material". Cai Jing is the person who can give questions to the Imperial Examination Examination, so why do you still read? The "Imperial Examination" album is necessary, because the works of "Zhao Xiaoyi" appear from time to time, which require certification and learning...

"Although Quxing started because of the imperial examination, the chapters published on it are not all related to the imperial examination." Wu Haogu said, "There are also some of them related to national affairs."

"But is the discussion about the military system?" Cai Jing asked. He still knew about this, and he had read some chapters discussing the military system. However, in his opinion, the level of these chapters was limited, and most of them were talked about on paper.

Wu Haogu nodded with a smile, "The officials think that there are more people watching "Quxing" than those who study in the Imperial College! If "Quxing" can be turned into the mouthpiece of the officials, then the officials will be less restricted in their work in the future."

"Control the elbow?" Cai Jing frowned and was silent for a while. "Does the official want "Qingxing" to restrain the censors and the Imperial College?"

Wu Haogu smiled: "The officials are not dissatisfied with the censors, but they just want to open up the road of spreading news from the upper and lower levels so as not to be deceived by the traitors."

The power structure of the Northern Song Dynasty was not arbitrary rule by the king, but there were certain checks and balances of power. For example, the power of the prime minister had certain constraints on the power of the king, and the censors could also restrict the power of the king. The clean logistics discussions with the Imperial College as the leader could also constitute certain supervision of all the prime ministers and important officials.

However, this supervision and checks and balance mechanism is still floating at the upper level, and the middle and lower intellectuals and even ordinary people basically have no channels to speak and speak out. Similarly, the connection between the emperor himself and the middle and lower levels and even the people is also blocked by the bureaucratic group. An ideal emperor should only know what the bureaucrats want him to know.

The common people can only know from the officials that the emperor's will is so called high and far away. The emperor's will is passed on to those lower-level people. God knows what it has been distorted into.

If "Quxing" becomes a news publication, published publicly, widely, and reported in a timely and accurate manner, wouldn't Zhao Ji have a mouthpiece that can directly publish the imperial edict and Wang Yan, and understand the situation in various places?

Wu Haogu can use money to buy newspapers to achieve the purpose of manipulating public opinion...

Although Cai Jing is a treacherous minister, he is not able to escape from the limitations of history and does not know the routine of bourgeois traitors in later generations to manipulate public opinion. So after thinking about it now, he actually thinks that the "official method" is very good!

"The official is indeed a saint!" Cai Jing nodded, "He could have come up with such a clever way... Dalang, since "Quxing" magazine is going to become the mouthpiece and ears of the official, it is impossible for him to continue to operate the business? Which official is going to hand it over to the supervisor of the official?"

Wu Haogu smiled. He had known that Cai Jing would have asked this question for a long time. Although there was no news control in the Song Dynasty, the management of folk engraving books was relatively strict. Many officials involved in so-called secrets of the court would encounter trouble when engraving and issuing them. Therefore, once newspapers appear in the true sense, they will inevitably have the idea of ​​official operation.

Wu Haogu said: "The official wants to hand over "Qingxing" to Zhao Xiaoyi."

"Zhao Xiaoyi?" Cai Jing was stunned, "The official family wants to take control of it himself?"

"Yes." Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Or who would be the right management for? The official family originally wanted to bypass the mouthpieces and ears of the two palaces!"

"Where is the inner official?" Cai Jing thought for a while and asked again, "Can the eunuch participate in it?"

Wu Haogu smiled: "Zhao Xiaoyi is a Kaifeng public servant, how can he let the inner officials enter "Quxing"? And if the inner officials are in charge of "Quxing", the ministers in the court should not jump on their feet?"

"Then this "Qingxing" is..."

"It was run by folk scholars, and neither the chief writer nor the editor shall have an official position."

Wu Haogu's arrangements are still very clever. Using the sign of "Zhao Xiaoyi" to set the game rules of "sponsored by folk scholars" can prevent newspapers from becoming officials. This is not setting rules for "Quxing", but setting rules for the entire news and newspaper industry.

Moreover, there were no scholars in the Song Dynasty, and the fame of the Juren, and the folk scholars were a very difficult concept to define. It was probably the people who had no official status and had read books?

"So that's it..." Cai Jing looked at Wu Haogu, and a meditative expression appeared on his chubby round face. After a while, he asked tentatively, "This "Qingxing"...is still under your control of Dalang?"

"We are all doing things for the officials!" Wu Haogu smiled, "It is definitely not enough to have only two main writers in "Qingxing". Can Cai Longtu have a suitable candidate to recommend?"

In fact, Quxing magazine now does not even have a full-time chief writer. Hou Zhongliang and Zhao Mingcheng both work part-time, and the editors under the chief writer are mostly composed of Hou Zhongliang's disciples and students recruited by Zhao Mingcheng from the Imperial College, and most of them are part-time.

At the same time, most of the chapters published on the "Forum Page" of Quxing magazine are also submissions from readers, and there are no special "reporters" to interview news. It is still far from the real newspaper. If you want to do a big job, you must recruit talents.

Of course, Cai Jing would not miss this opportunity to interfere in Quxing magazine. This is the Tian family’s eyes and mouthpiece!

"I'll pay attention to you," Cai Jing did not recommend it immediately, "I'll tell you when I have a suitable candidate."

As Cai Longtu spoke, he reached out to touch one of his bearded men and pondered for a moment, "Dalang, this "Qingxing" looks like it can still be used to restrict Qingliu's discussion, right?"

"No, of course not." Wu Haogu shook his head repeatedly, "Quxing is a magazine, and the famous scholars of Qingliu can also write chapters on it! Although the main writers and editors are not officials, it is still OK for officials to submit articles... Cai Longtu, do you have any chapters to be published?"

Cai Jing smiled and said, "Not yet, but I still have some honest advice.

You... have the ability, but you can cause trouble! And you are not afraid of making a big deal, this is not good! Although the official protects you, you are a military officer after all. You still have to remember the rules of this dynasty.

So you must never break up with Zeng Bu, An Tao and the others! Because the fire in Zhoubei Daying is really too much, you can’t have a second game. Otherwise, Han Zhongyan will break up with you."

Wu Haogu looked at Cai Jing, "Does the officials just let them pour sewage?"
Chapter completed!
