Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Among the seven positions, Li You chose to be the chief executive of the newspaper. Not only did Zuo Langzhong, who presided over the selection of officials, think that he had heard wrongly, but also everyone who heard the matter thought that they had heard wrongly, and then they started talking endlessly.  .

    "No matter which choice Mr. Li made, it was excusable. Why did he choose the worst one? Under the pressure of the Mingli Newspaper, this official position was almost worthless and was in danger of being abolished at any time.  "

    "Mr. Li should know this better than anyone, but he made this choice, which is really puzzling. Could it be that he knew that choosing an official would attract jealousy, so he kept it secret?"

    "Can this also be called Tao Guang obscure? Isn't it compelling enough now? Tao Guang obscure does not mean to choose the worst, but to be mediocre and mediocre."

    Amid the divergent opinions, Li You simply took office.  It's really simple. He was originally the Supervisor of the Imperial College in name only, and he was also the President of the Imperial College News Office without having to change places.

    On the first day he took office, Mr. Li lit the first fire and asked the imperial court to abolish the two vice presidents. You and Sun, the two vice presidents of the newspaper who were not successful enough but more exposed than others, where did they come from?  Where to go.

    With Pravda in such a state, and Shi Jijiu taking the blame and resigning in favor of someone else, how could Xu Shoufu and Yuan Ge Lao have the face to continue to defend the two vice presidents?  I'm afraid they themselves will lose face.  In the end, I had to cut it off according to Li You's opinion, otherwise it would make Li You dissatisfied, and it would really be a joke if he gave up the choice.

    President Li¡¯s second ignition was to order a temporary suspension of publication and then resume publication after the rectification and revision of the edition. This was also expected by others.  Otherwise, today's Pravda newspapers will be compensated for whatever they print, wasting public funds and draining the national treasury.

    President Li¡¯s third ignition.  He continued to lay off staff. Of the thirty supervisors retained by Shi Jijiu, he laid off twenty and transferred them to Mingli Pao, and in the end only ten were left.

    This is beyond what others expected.  At the beginning, Mr. Li recruited sixty people at once.  Shi Jijiu was cut in half. Unexpectedly, Mr. Li continued to lay off employees after he returned to take charge of the newspaper office.  One can't help but secretly speculate whether Mr. Li's final goal is to completely destroy Pravda.  Let his privately owned Mingli Newspaper become the dominant one?

    When asked by others, Li You smiled and said nothing. When pressed again, he only deduced that Pravda would not need so many chief writers and editors in the future.

    After three fires were burned in just two days, President Li seemed to be silent on the third day. I wonder what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd.

    In the evening of that day, Li You was sitting in the gatehouse of the hometown of Lu Ge, the great scholar of Wuyingdian.  Chatting with the disciples of Lu Mansion.  He wanted to meet Mr. Lu Ge, but Mr. Lu had not returned home yet, so he waited here.

    "As the saying goes, the prime minister's slave is a seventh-grade official, especially the disciples who receive red envelopes, but the disciples of the Lu family are very respectful to Li You.  He didn't dare to be a little slow, knowing that Li You enjoyed special treatment in the Lu Mansion.  Others also came to visit Mr. Lu Ge. When they saw Li You waiting here, they all left.

    When it got dark, Mr. Lu Ge¡¯s guard of honor appeared at the entrance of the alley.  Li You got up and was waiting at the gate. When he saw Mr. Lu Ge getting off the sedan, he stepped forward and patted his horse and said, "I am diligent in royal affairs and can be a role model for the younger generation."

    Mr. Lu Ge was in a good mood, "How long have you been waiting? Let's have a meal together."

    Li You had dinner with Mr. Ge.  Then I went to the study to sit down and drink tea.  Elder Lu Ge held a teacup in his hand and asked Li You: "Your coming here this time must be related to your newspaper, right?"

    "That's exactly why." Li You didn't deny it.

    Mr. Lu Ge guessed: "Outsiders have different opinions on this. In my opinion, do you want to deliberately show off your talents in a way that others cannot? The official report was ruined in the hands of others. If you can achieve nirvana and be reborn in your hands, then you can  It highlights your ability. If others want to snatch the official newspaper, they will have to think twice before doing so, lest they become half-dead again after they get it. Naturally, your position will be stable. "

    "Juniors do have this idea. Only when there is contrast and contrast can the impression on others be profound." Li You did not hide his thoughts, "No matter what age or month, as long as you can master public opinion, you can achieve a transcendent status. This  It is the only thing that the younger generation can ask for at the moment. Even the moribund official newspaper has its value."

    Mr. Lu Ge heard two meanings from Li You¡¯s words.  First, considering that he is in his early twenties, it is already shocking that he will become a fifth-grade Qingliu official by chance, and it will be extremely difficult to rise again in a short period of time.  Who can imagine a magistrate, a political advisor, or a minister in his twenties?

    So if he does something next, no matter how hard he works, most of it will be wasted, and the hard work will be of no use, so it is better to apply for a newspaper to support the hope of becoming a scholar.

    Second, it hints at the significance of running a newspaper. No matter what era, as long as you can control public opinion, you can achieve a transcendent identity.  There is no precedent for this kind of thing in history. As far away as the Yuedan Commentary of the Han Dynasty, and as close as the Dong DynastyThe Lin Party, those are still in the opposition.

    The higher the position, the wider the view, the stronger the insight, and the deeper the understanding of Li You's actions. At the same time, the greater the confidence or wariness in him.  Therefore, Mr. Lu Ge was not worried that Li You could not handle the official report. He just asked about the specific method, "I wonder how you plan to handle the official report?"

    Li You replied: "Pravda and Mingli are naturally different and each has its own use. I have to ask the elders to lend a helping hand to the younger ones"

    Another day passed, the six cabinet ministers and the nine foreign ministers received documents from the Office of the Imperial College, and the contents were all the same¡ª¡ª

    "Pravda" welcomes submissions from the public, and has a fixed column for the public on the page. The content of the article can be anything from government affairs experience, reading experience, life insights, and academic essays. It is best to not exceed 500 words.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Pravda newspaper office offers the bosses a retouching fee of one tael per thousand words. This price is really high in the market.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out of the gate and saw it at a glance.

    Those who have a grudge against Li You, such as Mr. Yuan Ge, after seeing the contract document, contemptuously crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the wastebasket at his feet. How could he do that to Li You in such a timely manner?  Then he put the matter behind him and ignored it again.

    If Li You's attitude is relatively neutral, he also asked the draft request for the temporary high cabinet because of cautious psychology, and did not agree.  Again, there is no precedent for this matter, and it is unpredictable.

    On the same day, Mr. Li, in his capacity as the censor of Qiandu, recommended Wu Sheng, the former prefect of Guilin Prefecture, as the right counselor of the General Affairs Department.  This incident was so sudden that the people who heard the news had to think a lot. As a celebrity, Li You's every move always attracts attention.

    The first thing everyone is confused about is that Wu Sheng is just a prefect in a remote border area who came to the capital for examination after his term of office. He has a poor reputation in the capital, so why did he inexplicably fall into Li You's eyes?

    Although it is said that science and technology officials have the right to recommend talents to the imperial court, Li Qianxian has never officially recommended talents to the imperial court except for the ninth-grade miscellaneous official Lu Yuanguang, the ambassador of Chongwenmen, who can be ignored.  Mr. Li's various actions recently are really smoke and mirrors, and few people can understand them clearly.
