Chapter 414: The Rejection of the Little People
Chapter 414 The Rejection of the Little Person
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, the new imperial newspaper published by the imperial court, giving it away for free, giving it away for free. Dou's granary is on sale at a loss. Zhao's restaurant has a big discount."
At noon, Chang'an Street was crowded with people. Suddenly, the sound of children shouting came over. I saw several pieces of paper in the hands of these children, waving them there. I also heard the words Dou's Rice Shop's loss-making sale, etc., and I was curious and started to
Look towards the little child.
"Young Master, we can see the imperial newspaper. You won't tell lies." An old man walked over with a shaky cane and stopped the boy selling the newspaper.
"Huh, this is an imperial edict issued by His Majesty the Emperor himself. Look, the name on this newspaper is written by the emperor himself? Look, yesterday, His Majesty personally appointed Mr. Cui Haoran as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. Just go to Huipingfang and find out.
You know it." The child said with some dissatisfaction.
"Is what you said above about Dou's Rice Shop true?" Another middle-aged man with a fat body and a shiny face asked with a smile. Everyone recognized him as the shopkeeper of the Huji Winery next door, so he naturally cared about food.
It’s a matter of price.
"That's natural." The child opened the newspaper again, pointed to a line of words on it and said, "Young Master Dou Kuan personally promised it, and it was posted on it, it's called an advertisement."
"Can you show me this?" The fat shopkeeper showed an awkward smile on his face.
"Humph, I'm giving you an advantage today. You can watch it for free today, but you will have to pay in a few days." The boy took out a piece of paper dissatisfied and handed it to the fat man.
"Charge? How much?" The fat man's face changed, and the others also showed a trace of hesitation.
"Two copper coins, the price of a pancake." The boy said disdainfully: "This Tang Feng does not rely on you to make money. How much does a pancake cost? Look how important the information on this is, but remember it.
The decree issued by the imperial court prevents corrupt officials from deceiving the superiors and taking advantage of you. This is the most important thing."
"That's right. Young Master, give me one. I'll ask my little boy to read it to me later." An honest man stretched out his hand, showing a hint of honesty, and said to everyone: "
Now that the emperor is wise, there are teachers in every village to teach children to read, so there is no need to spend money. My children can also read and write."
"Yes, today the emperor is a sage."
"Come on, young man, give me one too. Let me see what laws the court has. Humph. The big landowner here always increases our rent. Humph."
"I want one too."
……………………
In an instant, not a single piece of the newspaper in the child's hand was left. Although there is the appeal of a newspaper, the more important thing is that this thing is free. After all, it is a free thing. Chinese people are the same no matter what time.
They all like to take advantage of themselves and like things that cost nothing.
"Let's go." No one noticed that there was an ordinary carriage beside the street, and a head appeared in the carriage. Who was it if it wasn't Cui Haoran? He followed Lu Zhaoci's instructions and spent a month finally getting it.
He took out a newspaper, and after it was reviewed by Lu Zhaoci, he personally issued an imperial edict to promote Cui Haoran to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. Today was Tang Feng's first day, so he wanted to see what Tang Feng's result would be, although the first
The common people can accept it easily out of curiosity, or for free. As for whether they will accept it when they need money to buy it in the future, Cui Haoran doesn't know. It's just the price of a pancake.
, there must still be many people reading it. Even if the poor people don’t read it, others will spend the money to read it. The news above was published in the court newspaper before, and some people who have money may not be able to read it.
You can see it. It is also a kind of satisfaction to read the news in the Imperial Palace newspaper now. Those with a little bit of assets will buy it. As for those big businessmen, it is conceivable that after tasting the benefits of advertising, they will also
Can't wait to find cooperation with myself. In this way, Tang Feng can change from a department that spends money to a department that makes money. But it is a pity that there will be more people engaged in the newspaper industry in the near future.
.No, you have to write a law quickly, otherwise if something happens, it will be your turn to be unlucky.
Cui Haoran can imagine that once the newspaper generates huge benefits, a small right minister of the Ministry of Rites may not be able to control Tang Feng. Cui Haoran does not want his one month of hard work to achieve someone else's. When he thinks of this, how can he still
Those who wanted to stay on the street quickly ordered people to drive back home. Along the way, they were thinking about how to formulate this code. This is to formulate a code. There are so many scriptures in the past.
An honor only reserved for ministers...
"Everyone, you must have seen that newspaper during this period." In the Xuande Hall, Cen Wenwen and others sat together, each reviewing the memorials in their hands. Naturally, Lu Zhaoci did not need to do some small things personally, these things were left behind
He went to Xuande Hall and was reviewed by several bachelors from Xuande Hall. The only difference was that the red pen was changed to blue pen. Changsun Wuji, who was reviewing the memorial, suddenly raised his head and asked as if he had inadvertently asked.
"Well, there is such a thing. It was hosted by Cui Haoran, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites." Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said. He was not very clear about this newspaper, but since Changsun Wuji asked, he thought of answering:
"I heard that it has a great response among the people, and many people are reading this newspaper. Haha, in the past, some news from the court was transmitted orally, and other news was transmitted through the Dibao. Now it is different. With this
Newspapers and civilian readers can also understand some of the dynamics of the imperial court, which is good."
"It is not a good thing for the news of the imperial court to spread among the people, especially if someone with intentions takes this opportunity to attack the imperial court. We should find a way to restrain it." Changsun Wuji glanced at everyone and said: "
If the newspaper is used well, it is a blessing to the court. If it is used improperly, it may also cause disaster. The official believes that this kind of newspaper should be issued under the supervision of Xuande Palace, whether it is Tang Feng or not.
Or anything else, it should be issued with the permission of Xuande Palace, otherwise it will not be issued. What do you think, Sir Shofu? What do you think of all your lords?"
Everyone in the Xuande Hall suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at the documents in front of their cases, but did not speak. Although Changsun Wuji did not explain anything in his words, everyone understood that Tang Feng was under the control of the Xuande Hall.
, doesn’t this mean that Tang Feng is in the hands of his eldest son Wuji? Everyone has to admire Changsun Wuji’s vision. As the mastermind of Li Shimin back then, his vision is indeed extraordinary. How many days will Tang Feng appear?
Wuji can see Tang Feng's huge potential from this, which shows how powerful this person is. He can't wait to control Tang Feng in his hands, not only because Tang Feng contains huge interests, but more importantly, Tang Feng
Not only can he prevent others from throwing dirty water on him, but also because by controlling Tang Feng, he can control the public opinion of the empire, build momentum for himself, and cause headaches for his enemies. So Changsun Wuji wants to control this Tang Feng. But this
Can Tang Feng be controlled by the other party? When they thought of this, everyone shook their heads inwardly, but they no longer mentioned the matter. They all looked at Cen Wenwen, waiting for his answer. Because he was the chief minister,
If he doesn't speak, who dares to speak, and if he doesn't agree, no one dares to agree.
"Tang Feng was established by His Majesty, and this newspaper was founded by His Majesty's decree. Although it is very important, His Majesty did not issue an imperial edict to put this newspaper under the management of Xuande Hall, but let Cui Haoran, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, manage it. This is His Majesty's
attitude." Cen Wenwen sighed deeply and said: "The most important thing for our Xuande Palace now is to formulate laws for this newspaper. It is conceivable that in the near future, the newspaper industry will definitely rise in the Tang Dynasty, and some thoughtful people will take advantage of it.
This newspaper, therefore, it is urgent to formulate corresponding laws. Auxiliary machine, I will leave this matter to you after I see it."
Everyone nodded again and again. Although they didn’t know what the newspaper industry was like now, legislation was necessary. Otherwise, if someone with intentions used newspapers to publicize their opinions among the people and shake the foundation of the country, what should be done? Cen Wenwen was decisive.
He choked Changsun Wuji's remarks. Since the newspaper is something organized by the emperor, it cannot be controlled by ministers, such as the Jin Yiwei.
Changsun Wuji looked gloomy when he heard this, but seeing that everyone was like this, he could only nod his head. Only then did he remember that Tang Feng, Jin Yiwei, and the sticky pole were all set up by Lu Zhaoci himself.
, are beyond the control of ministers. These things are all for the emperor's service. And all he can do is to use his own power to exert influence on Tang Feng. That Cui Haoran was just lucky enough to be able to control Tang Feng.
Feng, if he can be won over, wouldn't Tang Feng be in his own hands? At that time, if he wants to attack someone, he can be ruined by using Tang Feng. His Majesty is so powerful, no wonder he was so powerful back then.
It is not unreasonable to be able to defeat the Li family and become the overlord of the world. If the Li family had controlled the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that even if your majesty seized the country, you would not be able to calm the people so quickly and truly unify the Tang Dynasty. It is really Shiye
As for fate, it can only be said that the Li family should not have the country.
"Yes, the formulation of laws must begin now." After calming down, Changsun Wuji nodded and said: "But this newspaper is a new thing after all, and I don't know about it. I think I
, Lord Cui should be invited to participate in formulating the laws with the lower officials, so that it can be more comprehensive. Our Tang Dynasty is a dynasty that relies on laws to govern the country, and laws are very important. What do you think, Lord Chief Assistant?"
"This?" Cen Wenwen's face changed, and he glanced at Changsun Wuji. Why didn't he understand Changsun Wuji's thoughts? He didn't know how much time it would take to formulate a code. Changsun Wuji invited Cui Haoran to formulate a code.
Although it was for the sake of the newspaper, but more importantly, he could use this opportunity to win over Cui Haoran for his use. But this was a great opportunity for Cui Haoran. By taking advantage of the opportunity to formulate the code, Cui Haoran could further advance.
Part 1. Can Cen Wenwen stop Cui Haoran's progress? In this way, Cui Haoran will not say anything on the surface, but privately he still doesn't know how to hate himself? Maybe he will fall into the arms of Changsun Wuji, maybe he will be mentioned in the newspapers in the future
News about me, Cen Wenwen, would be published, and by then, I would be passive. When Cen Wenwen thought of this, he couldn't help but frowned.
"This matter, I think it's better to let Cui Haoran answer it himself." Du Ruhui glanced at Cen Wenwen and Changsun Wuji, and said with a smile: "Let's see if he has the ability to participate in the formulation of the code. You must know how to formulate it."
The code of law is not something that ordinary people can do. I am afraid that only the auxiliary machine in our court can do it. Although Cui Shilang has some talent and fame, he is far from the auxiliary machine. It is better to see what he has to say."
"That's fine." Cen Wenwen thought for a while and nodded. Since Du Ruhui had already put forward his opinion, he, the chief minister, could not object, so he just nodded and asked Cui Haoran to go and ask for it. Now.
The rest of the things are out of his control. Although he doesn't want Cui Haoran to be controlled by Changsun Wuji, he can't clearly object to this kind of thing. With his humble personality, unless it is related to matters of vital interest, otherwise
He would not offend anyone. Now that Lu Zhaoci is alive, he knows very well that as long as Emperor Zhenguan is in power, no matter what, Changsun Wuji can only condescend to the position of second minister. If he wants to replace him, Cen Wenwen may not be able to do it.
A simple thing. So after he objected once, he didn't object a second time because he didn't want to offend others.
After a while, Cui Haoran was seen walking slowly in a light red official robe. Although it was not the first time Xuande Hall came here, it had never been like this. His waist was so straight. Because at this time
, he controlled Tang Feng, and more importantly, with the promise of Emperor Zhenguan, one day he would be able to enter the Xuande Hall and become one of them. So this time he came to meet Cen Wenwen and others, his
There was no humility on his face in the past. Cen Wenwen and others didn't have anything to do with it. However, Changsun Wuji couldn't help but frowned when he saw this. To be honest, he was a practical person. As for his family background, he didn't care about it at all.
Don't take it to heart. What kind of person is Cui Haoran? Sun Wuji, the eldest son-in-law of the Xie family in Jiangzuo, despises this kind of person, but after all, he has some use, and he still wants to win over him. But when he saw Cui Haoran's attitude today,
He was slightly unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Several bachelors in Xuande Hall are discussing the need to legislate a law to regulate newspapers. I have ordered me to preside over it. I heard that you are very experienced in this matter and want you to participate in the legislation. Are you willing?" Changsun Wuji
Although there is no expression on the surface, it is clearly revealed in the words. Even Cen Wenwen on the side also frowned. How can anyone speak like this? If so, how can the other party agree? Even if the other party is in a low position
The same is true for humility.
"I don't dare to trouble your lord. I have been ordered by the emperor to preside over Tang Dynasty. The affairs are complicated and I really have no experience in presiding over this matter. I think your lord has revised the Tang law in the past and has rich experience. He will definitely be far superior to me." As expected, Cen Wenwen did not say anything.
As expected, Cui Haoran refused Changsun Wuji's invitation without thinking. No one knows better than Cui Haoran what Tang Feng does and what role it will play. Participating in the drafting of laws can certainly establish a great cause.
However, if the monitoring of Tang Feng is relaxed at this time, it is more likely to arouse the emperor's anger. Cui Haoran does not want to lose a big thing because of small things, not to mention, the emperor's original promise is in front of him, twenty years later, he will be able to enter
Xuande Hall and became a bachelor. If something went wrong at this time, there would be nothing to do in the future. Although Changsun Wuji had an official position far above Cui Haoran, when he thought that the emperor was behind him, Cui Haoran rejected Changsun without even thinking.
Wuji's wooing...
"Well, Tang Feng has a lot of things to do. You should act according to the emperor's orders. The most important thing is to go down and conscientiously complete the tasks ordered by His Majesty. Go down." Cen Wenwen didn't wait for Zhang Sun Wuji to speak, and waved his hand and drove Cui Haoran out.
But I was already laughing in my heart.
"Yes." Cui Haoran did not dare to neglect, quickly retreated, and soon disappeared into Xuande Hall.
Changsun Wuji's face turned red with anger and his expression was extremely embarrassing. But when he thought of what Cen Wenwen said just now, Cui Haoran was not scary. What was scary was the person standing behind Cui Haoran. That was the emperor. This
At that time, Changsun Wuji understood why Cen Wenwen did not dare to express his opinion on this matter, and why Du Ruhui asked him to call Cui Haoran and come on his own. It was all because of Emperor Zhenguan. They understood that behind this matter, Emperor Zhenguan stood, too.
Only if you are obsessed with power would you think of getting involved in this matter. When you think of this, you can't help but regret it.
"Well, since Mr. Cui is not willing to do this, please trouble the auxiliary machine to complete the task. All the officials and auxiliary machines in the Chongwen Hall can be transferred. I will go to your majesty to request the order." Cen Wenwen stood up slowly and said to everyone.
He waved his hand and walked towards the Qianqing Palace not far from the main hall. Mobilizing officials, especially those old scholars in the Chongwen Hall, was not something that a bachelor of Xuande Hall could do. At the very least, he had to have
Lu Zhaoci’s imperial edict.
"It's getting late. I'm feeling a little unwell, so I'm going to resign first." Changsun Wuji's face was not pretty. On the one hand, it was because of Cui Haoran's refusal, but mostly because of his own reasons. He wanted to go back and be serious.
After thinking about it, I would avoid making such a mistake again in the future, which would make me lose face in front of everyone. Changsun Wuji would never allow himself to make a second mistake.
