Episode 1: New Arrival Chapter 626: The Revised Appearance

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li You and Wu Sheng, the former Guilin manor, can be said to be two completely unrelated figures. No matter who suddenly sees Li You's recommendation, they will not be able to connect the two people for a while.  There is no airtight wall in the world. This kind of thing is definitely not traceable, and people quickly figured out the context.

    It turns out that Wu Sheng was not idle when he was taking the examination and waiting for selection in Beijing.  He not only actively contributed articles to Mingli Newspaper, but also mainly wrote about various peculiar wedding customs and interesting stories between men and women in southwestern Yi, which became the most popular content in the first few issues of Jiuzhou Guangwen.  In addition, Mr. Wu also donated two of his works, Cihua of Talented Scholars and Beautiful Women, to Mingli Pao to enrich the Cihua serial column under preparation.

    This attracted the attention of Li You, the owner of Mingli Pao. As for how the relationship between Mr. Li and Wu Sheng will develop next, outsiders have no idea.

    At this time, another interesting point was discovered. Wu Sheng had no other background and backing. It was said that he was appointed to the distant Guilin Mansion after he offended a certain pavilion elder. He was a complete officialdom bust.  But from Master Li's point of view, it is understandable if he treats his enemy's enemy as his friend.

    When other officials waiting for election in Beijing heard about this, they beat their chests one after another. Why didn't they think of this approach?  Just by publishing a few articles, you can get favored and recommended by the famous Li You. This is a great deal. Even if the court does not allow Mr. Li to submit the petition, the official department will always give Mr. Li face!

    There is a difference between public recommendation and private recommendation.  Public recommendation means determination to win. Of course, expressing determination must also take into account one's own strength.  Without the backing of commensurate strength, even if you are determined, you will definitely be slapped in the face by others.

    The Councilor of the General Affairs Department is not an important position with real power.  Li You put on a posture, so others wouldn't have to compete with him, who has become more and more prosperous recently.  Therefore, in the end, Wu Sheng was able to get the position of counselor of the General Affairs Department, completing the transition from the border prefect to the capital official.

    But it was said that on this day, clerical clerks from various yamen in the capital went to the General Affairs Department to copy the residence newspapers.  The General Affairs Department excerpted memorials and edicts and compiled them into Dibao, and each yamen in the capital regularly sent clerks to the General Affairs Department to copy the Dibao back. Therefore, Dibao was also called Dichao.  This has been the consistent rule of the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years.

    But this rule was broken today.  The petty officials who went to the General Administration Department to copy the Di newspaper were told to come back tomorrow, and the copying time of all Di newspapers in the future was postponed by one day.

    "What's going on?" Wei Wuwei, a junior official in the Department of Household Affairs, turned to ask his colleagues in the Ministry of Rites.  But he saw that the other party also shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

    A low-level official like Wei Wuwei can only be confused.  How could they guess the key?  When Mr. Wei returned to the household department, he suddenly discovered at the gate that the newspapers delivered to the Yamen today had once again become two types.

    Everyone has gradually become accustomed to the fact that Mingli Bao has been constantly updated since its establishment.  But the Pravda, which had been discontinued for three issues, suddenly reappeared in front of everyone today, which attracted attention.

    Mr. Wei was a step too late and did not grab a sneak peek of today¡¯s Mingli newspaper. In desperation, he grabbed a relatively boring copy of Pravda.

    He was shocked after just one glance. The front page of Pravda was no longer about so-called moral preaching, but a piece of news.  After taking a closer look, he immediately concluded that the content on the front page of Pravda should have been moved from Di Bao!  Wei Wuwei has been copying Di Bao for five years and is extremely familiar with the style of Di Bao. He can tell at a glance!

    Many petty officials like Mr. Wei suddenly realized this.  No wonder they were not allowed to copy the Di newspaper today. It turns out that the key is here.  It is necessary to move the content of the Di newspaper to Pravda to strengthen the functionality of Pravda.

    After the news spread, smart people immediately thought of Li You recommending Wu Sheng to serve as right counselor in the General Affairs Department.  Could it be that Li You's focus is here?

    After inquiring, the guess was confirmed - Wu Sheng arrived at the General Affairs Department.  Was assigned to manage the affairs of the residence newspaper!  Therefore, the copying of the Di newspaper was delayed this time, but it was published in the newspaper first, which is enough to show that Li You suddenly recommended Mr. Wu Sheng and Wu, and it was indeed a premeditated layout.

    "With Mr. Li's tough style, I'm afraid it will become a rule that news from the Di newspaper should be published in Pravda first." Mr. Wei, a clerk at the Ministry of Revenue, sighed to his colleagues, "If this is true, just look at the Pravda delivered to your door.  That's enough, why bother going to the General Affairs Department to copy? I'm afraid I'll have one less job to do in the future."

    Mr. Wei, who was bored, finished his emotion with personal experience and continued to look through the Pravda in his hand.  When I opened the second page, I was shocked again.

    There is a big title above, which reads "The Good and Bad of Cotton Planting in Shandong Province". Below is a long article analyzing the pros and cons of the rapid growth of local cotton planting in Shandong in recent years.  In fact, there is nothing much to say about the title and content, but there is a line between the title and the article that shocks readers. This is the author's signature - Lu Xujiang, a scholar of Wuyingdian University.

    The political affairs of Mr. Lu Ge, one of the six prime ministers??Cewen?  It¡¯s not surprising if you think about it carefully. Li You, the CEO of Pravda, and Mr. Lu Ge are like relatives and friends. It is normal for Mr. Lu Ge to write an article to praise Li You.

    But even with the knowledge of Wei Wuwei, a humble official, he felt that something was wrong, very wrong, very wrong.  There are six prime ministers and assistants, and Mr. Lu Ge is not the chief minister. Is it really appropriate to highlight Mr. Lu Ge so clearly in the official newspaper?

    "But these are all matters for the top bosses. Mr. Wei just thought about it briefly and continued to read.  I was surprised to find another poem titled "Yangchun Budeze". Well, the signature is still more surprising than the title and content. This time it is Yang Linzhang, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

    ? ?Looking further down, another article "On the Self-cultivation of Government Officials" popped up. Looking at this title, you know that it is not something that ordinary people can write.  I glanced at the signature, and sure enough, the signer was Zhao Wu County, Minister of Civil Affairs.

    No matter who reads this revised issue of Pravda, they will sigh "It's not simple."

    ??Except for the functional home page, the newspaper mainly features articles written by the three big guys, mixed with articles written by a number of other slightly less important figures.  In other words, the main contents in Pravda are articles written by high-ranking officials, and they are full of gold and jade. I am afraid there is no other kind of article in the world that is as densely packed with high-ranking officials' articles as the Pravda in my hand.

    ??Those who are attentive have also seen the word "column" on the page, using this to speculate that these high-ranking official articles are probably not to cheer for Li Youxin's appointment, but will they become a long-term practice in the future?

    ??From the popular Mingli Daily, everyone has gradually become accustomed to newspapers being written and edited by professional writers and editors. However, this time Li You took over Pravda, but he changed it again and turned Pravda into a completely different look.

    "The Pravda is definitely not as interesting and readable as the Mingli. Will people in the yamen read it?"

    The answer is definitely yes.  As the saying goes, articles are the voice of the heart. If there are articles written by various court officials in Pravda, whether they are policy essays, literary poems or classics, they are certainly worthy of careful consideration by motivated officials, and those big officials will definitely do the same.  In this way, you can release the information you need.  Even if officials don't study it, it's not a bad thing to know more about the big guys.

    "It's not easy." Wei Wuwei closed the newspaper and sighed again.  He has been working in the yamen for more than ten years. He cannot say that he is well-informed, but he does know a few things. He has already understood a few things about the famous Li Qianxian's idea of ??running a newspaper - that is, he wants to run a newspaper that thoroughly serves the people.  High-level newspapers!

    In the capital, Mr. Wei is certainly not the only one who can understand something superficially, but even if he does, it is of no use at this time.

    ??????????????? It would have been a great skill to have been able to predict when Li Youdong punched and kicked him in the past, but unfortunately no one seemed to understand Li You's train of thought at the time.  Everyone is used to this, and Li You is recognized in the court as the most unpredictable person.

    No wonder President Li drastically cut off most of the newspaper¡¯s chief writers, because the content of the newspaper will be provided by the big bosses, and the newspaper office itself does not need to maintain so many chief writers; no wonder Mr. Li strongly recommended that one of his own should be the right counselor of the Secretary for General Affairs.  The purpose is to transfer the management power of the Di newspaper to its own hands and cooperate with the Pravda newspaper.

    ¡°However, although Mr. Li has an idea, it is still unknown whether it can be realized.  Judging from this issue of Pravda, only Lu Ge Lao, Yang Ge Lao, Zhao Shangshu and some other big guys who have a good relationship with Li You are cooperating. The other big guys don't buy Li You's account, and even the big guys who don't buy it  There is still an advantage in numbers.

    "Thisis too pretentious." Mr. Lu Ge frowned and looked at the revised version of Pravda, not knowing what to say.  A few days ago, he was persuaded by Li You to take the lead in opening a column in Pravda. Although he hesitated at the time, he couldn't resist Li You's eloquent words and agreed.  But now that he saw the newspaper, he saw that he had become the center of attention, and he was very ostentatious, and he was confused.

    Li You stood in front of Mr. Lu Ge and did his ideological work again: "Don't worry, Mr. Sir. The sages said that one has made meritorious deeds and established one's words. This is an act of establishing one's words. What's so special about it? When Mr. Lao returns to his hometown in honor, my newspaper office will  Wouldn¡¯t it be nice to combine the old man¡¯s columns into one book and print them as gifts?¡±

    Lu Gelao sighed: "It's too ostentatious after all."

    Li You said sarcastically: "All the senior officials in the imperial court who are third-rank or above, and the juniors have sent out invitation documents, each with a column, including the first assistant, second assistant, etc. However, although the juniors are sincere, the other seniors are too worried and refuse to do so.  If you respond, it¡¯s no wonder that the boss takes all the glory.¡±

    However, he understood Mr. Lu Ge's mood and explained: "Sir, please don't worry. Now that Mr. Lao is reporting on his glory, as if he is the first person in the cabinet, can Xu Shoufu, Peng Cifu, etc. still sit still? Even if they can sit still for a whole day.  issue, but can it sit for two, three, and four phases?

    Sooner or later, they will take the initiative to write columns and publish articles, so that they will not let the bosses focus on the beauty.  Otherwise, if things go on like this, we will only know the boss in the capital's yamen, but not the chief assistant.  By that time, everyone of the third rank and above in the imperial court will have a special column, so you don't have to worry about the danger of showing off.  "

    "If you can open a column, that would be great." Mr. Lu Ge nodded and said, "Don't get in trouble."

    Li Youxin vowed: "This junior welcomes this very much, there will be no obstacles! Everyone has the same column, whoever wants to write can publish it, junior only distributes newspapers!" rv

    , please collect it.
