- After explaining the general principles, Li You began to announce the actual facts, "I am definitely not a person who talks on paper and is unwilling to do things! Starting from today, we will start selecting talents. Those who are interested can go to the director of each class to sign up! For the first time, I want to select the best 60 people, and the monthly salary is temporarily Set it at three taels! Once someone is selected, he will be the first reporter of the Ming Dynasty, and the newspaper office can be established!"
Three taels! This income is definitely not low. In today's world, three taels of silver per month is considered a high salary, while ordinary craftsmen or shop assistants only earn one or two taels.
Shi Jijiu, who had already reached the door of the public house, heard Li You announce the start of selecting people, and looked back in shock. He was too anxious and rash to rush in! Is there any way to do things? Today is only his first day in office, and the seats are not yet warm.
After Mr. Li finished his lecture, the supervisors of Suixing Hall left the Yilun Hall in twos and threes, talking among themselves as they walked. Obviously, the cake drawn by the Superintendent and Censor is very attractive, provided it is as beautiful as he said.
There are many people who are eager to try. Sixty will be selected out of six to seven hundred people. This probability is not low, at least much higher than that of official selection. Of course, the first choice for prison students is still to be elected as an official, but if they cannot be elected, instead of wasting time in prison, it is better to become a reporter and wait for the opportunity. It is not that you cannot resign after becoming a reporter.
Li You whispered to Han Zong, the chief follower: "Bring the old supervisor to my office. I want to talk to him."
Han Zong left in response, and another servant came to Li You and reported, "Master Jijiu invites you." I didn't know what else Shijiu had to say, so Li You turned around to look for him.
Although Mr. Shi just listened to Li You's passionate speech, he was moved in his heart and felt the urge to write a newspaper to denounce Fang Qiu. But after hearing that Li You started the selection in a hurry, he returned to the room to calm down. I felt something was wrong.
Seeing Li You coming over, he questioned: "Is it appropriate for you to incite the supervising students in a big way before even saying a word about it?"
What did he see? Li You looked around and talked about it. "What's wrong with it? As long as you're willing to do it, there's no problem at all."
"You dare to say that! You promised to run a newspaper so that a hundred prison students would have no worries about food and clothing. Paper and ink cost money, at least several thousand taels a year. Where does the money come from? The Imperial College does not have this money."
Li You said confidently: "Money is not a waste of money, sir. I have my own way to raise it. I don't want to make a lot of money. Maintaining income and expenditure is not a problem! Today I will let the craftsmen start making the dials. At the same time, I will select Talented people run newspapers.¡±
Seeing that Li You only talked about how to do it, but not the issue of responsibility, Shi Jijiu couldn't help but angrily said: "You promised to let all living beings point out the current problems, this is completely superfluous censorship. How the imperial court will treat it is uncertain. You know, it's even more unknowable whether you agree or disagree. When the situation is unclear, I see that you act so rashly and insistently. It doesn't look like a young man who is impatient and rash. I'm afraid you did it deliberately and had ulterior motives!"
Li You¡¯s expression changed. "What are these words Master Shi said? I can't understand."
Shi Jijiu slapped the table and said: "Not only do you want to be a blue sky, you also want to be a capable minister. If you want to be a capable minister, you don't want to be known as mediocre and incompetent, so you deliberately shirk your responsibilities in this way!
If you can do it, everyone will be happy, and you will become famous and your reputation will grow. If it can't be done. You can also make a sign of grief and indignation, saying that you have tried your best to do something, but the court does not allow it, so there is nothing you can do.
Until then. You can either resign in anger, or you can use this to get rid of the errand of the Imperial College Supervisor. Anyway, it will not damage your reputation at all! Spread the word, it's not that you, Mr. Li, don't do things, it's that the court doesn't let you do things. The supervisors are all scholars. Maybe it can give you a good reputation, right? It reminds me of your efforts to stabilize food prices in Suzhou three years ago. At that time, you deliberately broke with the grain merchants and left with your title, but in the end you were praised by the whole city. "
Li You was exposed and became a little angry and said: "Who dares to say that he is 100% successful in doing things in this world? If everyone is hesitant, timid, and unwilling to take any risks, then don't do anything!"
Shi Jijiu unceremoniously accused Mr. Li, "Although you take risks easily, there is actually no risk to you at all. This matter will not affect your future or shake your foundation! But you are risking the future of the supervisor. Gambling luck!
¡°Have you ever thought about what would happen to these supervisors who have been provoked by you, or have been dragged into the water by you, and suddenly gave up half way through? How should they deal with themselves? How can we not be full of resentment towards the court? What will be the consequences if the court investigates? "
Li You sneered a few times, "If they are unlucky, it means they have a bad life! Don't say that I am stone-hearted. In this world, there will always be people with good lives and some with bad lives. No one can give everyone a good life. It would be great if they create a chance to get ahead and give it a try! It is better than studying for a lifetime.It¡¯s good to read books, but in the end you will learn nothing. "
Li You then said sarcastically: "You, Mr. Shi, are kind-hearted and love the supervisors. It's a pity that you couldn't even create a chance after being a priest for two years. You are still scolded today. Is this a good official?"
The stone sacrificial wine immediately vomited three liters of blood, and the argument was completely defeated.
Li You returned to his apartment. The old supervisor was waiting for him respectfully outside the door. When he saw it, he quickly saluted: "Student Bai Siwen, meet the old supervisor!"
Li You nodded and asked succinctly: "Are you willing to be the chief writer of the newspaper?"
"My lord, I appreciate you, and I am willing to do your best!" Bai Siwen saluted again.
"That's good, I will write down your name." After saying this, Li You had no other unnecessary words, everything was said without saying anything.
Only Han Zong was standing aside, and he didn¡¯t understand why he directly selected this old scholar without even conducting an inspection?
For Li You, there is no need to investigate at all. The previous performance of the old supervisor student Bai Siwen was nothing more than two reasons. The first reason is that he felt that he had no way out, and he was really excited that he couldn't control himself. If this is the case, giving him a chance to stand out can easily command his loyalty.
The second reason is that he seizes the opportunity and deliberately jumps out to please himself in order to take advantage of others. If so, it means that this person intends to move closer to him and dares to move closer to him. Of course, people who are aware of current affairs can use it first. Mr. Li does not discriminate against people who dare to stand out at critical moments.
No matter which possibility it is, it can be regarded as available for the time being. More specifically, it can only be observed in daily work. Moreover, this person has been trained in the Imperial College for so long, and his writing skills are not much worse. It should be noted that running a good newspaper does not rely on writing.
In the next two days, while Mr. Li was accepting registrations, he suddenly took up the study style and discipline with great vigor. Five short-sighted prison students made mistakes in spite of the wind. After being caught, they were given thirty lashes as punishment and hung on both sides of the corridor for public display.
As for those who came to sign up, there were more than 500 people in two days, making it difficult for an outsider like Li You to choose. Simply put this responsibility on the prison officers, give each person several quotas, and ask them to recommend candidates on their own. This can be regarded as winning over people's hearts.
On the tenth day of February, Li You was in the classics hall, instructing craftsmen to make calligraphy plates. It's not that Mr. Li has to do everything personally, it's really because he needs to design several fixed format fonts according to the newspaper layout. If Li You doesn't come forward, who else will know what to do.
In fact, in Li You¡¯s mind, he didn¡¯t want to run a purely political newspaper. What he said to the supervisors was to criticize current ills and discuss world affairs. They were all used as a cover to gain fame. It¡¯s not charity. Essentially, it¡¯s about making money to survive. Otherwise, there is no long-term rationale, so we have to rely on urban newspapers.
In his mind, it can be roughly divided into four sections. The first is political speculation, which uses big principles to show off the sheep's head. The second is the various aspects of the capital, using new news to attract attention. The third is business knowledge, which is used to attract attention. The advertisement sells dog meat. The third one is Jiuzhou Guangwen, which uses anecdotes to add interest and curiosity.
??Suddenly, a servant hurried over and reported: "The Ministry of Rites sent a message to Mr. Superintendent, and we will discuss the matter of filing a report at the Eastern Court tomorrow."
When Li You heard this, he understood that this must be a matter of stone sacrificial wine reported to the court, and the emperor issued a court meeting. The Imperial College was under the supervision of the Ministry of Rites, so court meetings were convened by the Ministry of Rites. When new things come out, there will inevitably be another round of verbal quarrels.
The next day, Li You and Shi Jijiu entered the imperial city, passed Chengtian Gate and Duanmen, and came to the East Chamber outside the Meridian Gate to meet with the cabinet and Jiuqing. This time it was a small meeting between the inner court and the outer court, and there was no Ke Dao Ci Lin present. The big bosses made up their minds and reported to the emperor, which saved them a lot of worry.
Li You saluted and glanced around secretly. Seeing the big bosses sitting upright with solemn expressions, he just wanted to laugh. In his previous life, his idea was actually just a metropolitan newspaper. Can you imagine the elders you can only see on TV seriously discussing whether to start a metropolitan tabloid?
While Mr. Li was thinking about something wrong, Hai Shushan, the Minister of Rites, spoke up, "The Imperial College reported the matter of handling the newspaper the day before yesterday. His Majesty ordered us to gather for discussion. What do you think?"
There was silence in the court room. The big guys drank tea, closed their eyes to meditate, counted gold bricks, and no one spoke. First, this is Li You's business, and second, it is not a matter of life or death. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree, you should only be the leader if you are mentally ill.
The big guys didn¡¯t speak, so Li You just stayed with them, keeping his head down and motionless. After a long time like this, Shangshu Hai probably felt that it was outrageous to continue like this, and that he, the host, was losing face, so he said, "Master Li, please explain the situation first."
Li You saluted again and said: "The specific situation must have been stated in the memorial of stone sacrifice and wine. If you have no objection, I will act accordingly."
Li You said this, and if he didn't speak, it would become his acquiescence, and some people couldn't help it immediately.
