This time, the eighty people Li You needed were quickly recruited, but these eighty supervisors needed to be re-indoctrinated. Without ideological remolding, God knows whether newspapers will turn into eight-part digests.
There are no journalism majors these days, so Li You has no choice but to go into battle personally, using half-baked concepts from his previous life to deceive newcomers to the newspaper industry. In the courtyard of the newspaper shop, after gathering the candidates, Mr. Li started a class. .
Facing the black crowd, Li You did not have stage fright. He had been practicing in the officialdom for a long time. This scene was trivial. Besides, this was not the first time that Li You talked about newspapers with the supervisors.
He coughed and began to lecture: "First of all, you must understand who the newspaper is for? I am going to tell you that the newspaper is for fools! And you, the chief writer and editor, teach fools how to understand the truth! On this point you You must firmly believe that if you plan to devote yourself to teaching fools, you need to be determined!"
Li You¡¯s statement made all the supervisors feel happy. Who wouldn¡¯t want to claim to be an elite and become a master?
In fact, after so many years of studying, what they want most is to be an official. But if the opportunity to become an official is not good, it is not a bad idea to become the chief writer and editor of this newspaper out of desperation. If the situation described by Mr. Li can come true, it seems that he can become a figure who controls public opinion.
"Actually, we are historians! The newspapers are old things, but things that happened recently! What we have to do is to take notes and write down new things. It is said to write about the Spring and Autumn Period and write articles! As time goes by, This will become a supplement to the history books!¡±
"In addition, our newspaper will be submitted to the emperor! Your words may be read by the emperor! And after each issue of the newspaper is printed, it will be sent to all yamen, shop owners, and shop owners in the capital for free within one day. All famous restaurants, all hotels, and all shops in Qipan Street, Bell and Drum Tower, Chongwenmenwai, etc.! It is estimated that there will be tens of thousands of copies! If you write a word in the newspaper, at least ten thousand people will read it and tens of thousands of people will listen! "
Li You tried his best to elevate the status of the newspaper and describe a bright future in order to satisfy the vanity of the supervisors he recruited. Scholars are always praised and killed. How can literati become famous without relying on mutual praise? Putting it in the newspaper shop, let alone touting the newspaper is useless, at least it is conducive to inspiring everyone's confidence in the crucial early stage of opening, keeping people satisfied and the team stable.
After talking about the significance of joining the newspaper industry and the prospects of our newspaper, Li You began to introduce technical issues in detail. "One of the pages is mainly for discussing the government affairs or writing about the affairs of the imperial court. The topic may be picked by oneself, or the topic may be selected by the newspaper office. It is waiting for your discussion. If the manuscript is good, it can be published in the newspaper!
It is a discussion, but actually it is a criticism. In all matters, mistakes can always be found. If you find a mistake, the court will think deeply for a quarter of an hour! "
Someone asked: "We have no power and no power, so we can criticize the government at will. It can easily lead to all kinds of accidents."
Li You applauded: "Well said! So I have made three chapters of the agreement, and I hope you will abide by it. First, the words must not involve the emperor; second, you must not insult or slander ministers of third rank or above; you must not promote things prohibited by the Ming Law. Except Other than that, it should be fine!
If you are still not at ease, you can still post a defense as a foil in addition to criticism. There are criticisms and praises, and by comparing them, it seems to be impartial, which makes others unable to say anything! "
"The second page is mainly about the various scenes in the capital, mostly stories about the people and the families of powerful officials. What do you want to write about? Just remember to focus on two words! Murder and rape!"
"Which two words?" The supervisors were in an uproar, thinking that they heard wrongly.
"You heard me right! One is murder, the other is rape, people like to see these! Of course, my intention is not to promote these two, but we must engage in critical reporting!
I want to popularize legal knowledge to the people through murder and rape cases, and let the people know the serious consequences! So after writing about the incident, you should add a few words of criticism to let readers know that this is wrong!
Large and small cases often have to go through the Military and Horse Division. Therefore, I plan to rely on five military divisions. Five reporting stations are set up to facilitate news. "
A person with understanding. It was as if he had already comprehended some kind of truth.
"The third section of the page is all business news. You don't need to focus too much on this. I will take care of it all! If you are interested, I will not object!"
"The fourth page is dedicated to interesting stories about Kyushu and new things outside the capital. Therefore, I want to set up a reporting station at Chongwenmen Customs to facilitate communication with foreign merchants. By the way, there are a lot of red-haired ghosts in the capital, right? If so? If there are people who are proficient in Chinese characters, you can also ask them to write a few articles for publication!"
Finally, Li You said: "Generally speaking, ten chief writers are stationed in each of the five cities of the capital, responsible for the news of each shop. Ten people are stationed at Chongwenmen Customs and Excise Department, responsible for collecting materials! The rest will serve as chief editors,?In the newspaper shop. "
At this time, a 26-year-old supervisor stood up and questioned Li You's statement: "Listen to Mr. Li, most of the main writers should be scattered in the streets and alleys, just like three aunts and six wives, asking for information? I'm sorry for this, but I really can't do it. This matter."
Li You's mouth was dry when he talked about it. He lowered his head to drink tea while analyzing his performance. Suddenly I heard someone making trouble like this, and I couldn't help but feel furious!
Originally, it was not easy for his unofficial newspaper to recruit a large number of supervisors, and he went through all kinds of troubles to achieve his wish, but on the first day, the atmosphere was suddenly so ruined.
The atmosphere and mood are contagious. If he is allowed to spread a negative atmosphere, I am afraid that the entire newspaper office will be ruined.
He must be taught a lesson! Li You calmly put the tea cup back on the table, saw the supervisor's name on the list, pondered for a moment, and then casually deleted the person's name.
After that, he said to the supervisor in front of everyone: "Okay, you can go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and report, and you can choose the county edict of Yunnan and Guizhou."
The other seventy-nine supervisors were in an uproar, and then they remembered that Li You was not only the owner of the newspaper shop, but also the Imperial College Supervisor responsible for the atmosphere, and had certain authority to allocate supervisors. If the supervisor who is already on the list wants to show off his personality in front of him, it is tantamount to seeking death!
The supervisor who stood up was panicked. He couldn¡¯t let go of his body and work at the grassroots level, so he wanted to leave, but he really didn¡¯t want to work as a teacher in Yunnan and Guizhou, thousands of miles away!
Then he went to beg for mercy from Mr. Li, but Mr. Li ignored him and just talked to everyone: "You will soon find that newspapers are a mysterious thing! As long as you are willing to listen to me, I guarantee that you will feel a little better." I won¡¯t change my small official position!¡±
At this time, the seventy-nine chief writers and editors did not believe it.
