Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Regarding the various discussions from the outside world, as one of the parties involved in the bet, Shi Jijiu is not too worried about his position for the time being.

    His appointment as the president of the newspaper was not based on anyone's operation, but was the result of discussions between the inner and outer court officials. In official terms, it is called "the position is extremely upright", second only to the imperial court's recommendation.

    Overturning this result is equivalent to rejecting the opinions of several bachelors and several ministers at the same time. It is difficult to imagine that even the emperor cannot easily reject it, and it is even more difficult for Li You to take it back.

    On the contrary, Mr. Shi even had expectations for Li You, hoping that Mr. Li would assist him in running newspapers in the Imperial College.  Although he had a slight understanding of the newspaper concept from Li You's previous arrangements, so he was confident that he could run a newspaper, but after all, he was not as knowledgeable as Li You in this regard.

    "It's a pity that Li You didn't come to the Stone Sacrifice Wine. Li You has been avoiding him since the court meeting, except for the time when he took the initiative to come to the door.  However, the Office of the Imperial College has welcomed two other vice-presidents, both of whom have good backgrounds. One is Sun Yijiang, the censor of Fujian Dao Supervision, who is said to have been recommended by Chief Assistant Xu Ge; the other is the Young Master of Honglu Temple.  Qing Youhe, it is said that he was recommended by Mr. Yuan Ge, a scholar of Wenhua Palace.

    This is enough to prove that the political sensitivity of big bosses is generally higher than that of ordinary officials.  The second assistant, Mr. Peng Ge, did not arrange for someone to run the newspaper. That was not because he did not realize the significance of the newspaper, but because the Imperial College was under the supervision of the Ministry of Rites. Hai Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was his confidant and could directly influence the Imperial College's newspaper. There was no need to  It is surprising to appoint another candidate to run the newspaper office.

    In the past, running a newspaper was Li You¡¯s own behavior, so the organization was named a newspaper office, which is a relatively low-level name.  Now that it is recognized by the court, it must be formalized.  The newspaper office was renamed the newspaper office, and was temporarily affiliated to the Imperial College in the name of dispatch.

    If there is really big development in the future, it is expected that the newspaper office will continue to be upgraded and changed into a newspaper office or a newspaper supervisor.  At that time, the newspaper will be separated from the Imperial College and will have nothing to do with the Stone Sacrifice Wine, and the two vice presidents will become natural candidates for official positions - this is the layout of the big bosses.

    February 14th.  The two vice presidents went to the Imperial College to take up their duties, and Shi Jijiu met them in the public room with a complicated mood.

    After the greetings and "long greetings", the guest and host sat down separately.  After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them had an in-depth conversation about the newspaper.  Suddenly, I heard a servant reporting outside the door: "Inspector Li, please see me."

    Li You has never shown up, but he came to see him now.  Is it a coincidence or intentional?  Shi Jijiu was stunned for a moment and invited Li You in.  In fact, Li You was really a coincidence this time. He didn't care at all what happened to the Imperial College newspaper office now, and several CEOs had nothing to do with him.

    After entering the house, Mr. Li saw two officials sitting next to Shi Jijiu. One of them was unfamiliar, and the other looked familiar but couldn't remember who it was. However, judging from the seats, it was clear that the status of these two people was average, so  I didn¡¯t bother to ask who it was.  He only cupped his hands to the stone sacrificial wine and said: "There are a few small things that I would like to ask Mr. Shi to show your respect to."

    Shi Jijiu raised his hand and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

    "A few days ago, I spent my own money to make some calligraphy plates in the Classics Hall. They will be moved out in the next two days. Also, I want to borrow three or five book printers from the Prison Classics Hall."

    Anyone who is not stupid can guess what Li You is going to do when he hears these words. Shi Jijiu was stunned for a moment and quickly asked: "Do you want to start a new business?"

    "Yes. Since the imperial court does not allow me to run a newspaper in the Imperial College, of course I will find another way out! To be honest with Mr. Shi, I have bought a three-in house at the intersection of Chongwenmen Nei Street and Chaoyangmen Nei Street for this purpose.  File a newspaper!" Li You said without any hesitation.

    ????????????????????????????????????The road is very convenient, it is indeed a good place The other three people in the room looked at each other.  All surprised.

    As the president and vice president of the Imperial College Newspaper Office appointed by the imperial court, they have all done some research on the new type of newspaper advocated by Li You, and naturally they all know some of the tricks and difficulties of running a private newspaper.

    First of all, the Ming Law does not stipulate that private individuals are not allowed to run newspapers. In other words, the Ming Law is completely blank about running newspapers. Nowadays, hand-copied newspapers are still relatively popular.  But the gap can be filled, and the court can of course issue new laws to prohibit private individuals from running newspapers in the name of preventing lies and misleading the public.  Therefore, the legal risks of private reporting are very high. Only government institutions like the Imperial College do not have to worry about such risks.

    Secondly, the investment in running a new newspaper is not low, and it is unknown whether it can make money.  The imperial court and the government can run newspapers at any cost in order to "educate people's hearts." It is nothing more than throwing in thousands of taels of silver a year.  But if a private newspaper keeps losing money, what's the point?

    Third, to run a new type of newspaper that is published regularly, it is technically necessary to use flexible and fast movable type printing to meet the needs of high-frequency regular printing.  However, in the current printing industry, due to cost considerations, generally there is nosp; Li You looked up to the sky and laughed a few times, raised his hand and said to the stone sacrificial wine: "Farewell!"

    Looking at Li You's back, Shi Jijiu was confused.  He had rich experience in dealing with Li You, and he intuitively felt that something was wrong.

    After thinking about it, Master Shi¡¯s eyes fell on the paper ball on the ground.  He bent down to pick it up, opened it and looked at it, only to see that the document was clearly a letter from the Yamen, and it was clearly signed by the Ministry of Personnel.

    Looking at the content again, it turned out that in the name of trial implementation, the Ministry of Civil Affairs approved giving Li You 100 quotas for student supervisors to use in filing reports.  In other words, this is a formal official document from the Ministry of Personnel, not Li You's own private request to borrow a supervisor.

    Why didn¡¯t he make it clear just now?  Master Shi handed this unveiling note to You and Master You with great sympathy, and sincerely advised: "Your Excellency, you should go to the Ministry of Personnel immediately and explain it to Zhao Tianguan."

    Explain what?  The first is why the young minister of Honglu Temple, who is not ranked high on the power list, dares to refuse the personnel arrangements of the Ministry of Personnel; the second is why the young minister of Honglu Temple dares to smash the official documents of the Ministry of Personnel and throw them on the ground.

    Sun Yijiang, the censor of Fujian Province and another vice president, felt secretly happy that it would be a good thing if the two vice presidents became one.
