    After hearing Yin Xiang's words, several people listened with bated breath. Although they all knew that the debate in Beijing News and Ning News came from Zhenwu's instruction, they did not know why Zhenwu used this method to guide public opinion. Obviously  Zhenwu not only encouraged Ning Bao to criticize the New Deal, but also did so without any restrictions. This kind of unrestricted debate is really risky. Judging from Zhenwu's usual style, there must be something else behind it.  They didn't know the master's intentions, so they naturally didn't dare to speak nonsense.

    Zhenwu glanced at Yinxiang, then smiled slightly and said: "The reason why I asked Lang Yanji to found Ning Bao is to create a rival for Beijing News. If Ning Bao also speaks the same language as Beijing News, it will lose its existence.  The meaning. This is the same as writing an article. A straightforward statement will not arouse people's interest. Only contradictions, conflicts, and debates can arouse the interest and attention of most people.

    The reason why I do not impose restrictions on Ningbao is not only to create a relaxed atmosphere where no one is punished with punishment, but also to encourage officials, gentlemen and the people to care about state affairs and world affairs, and actively supervise and discuss state affairs. Ningbao is the supervision and discussion system I have built for them.  of a platform.

    ¡°Furthermore, with such a platform, the imperial court can also benefit a lot. Not only can it better understand the people¡¯s sentiments, but it can also discover loopholes and shortcomings from their criticism and questioning, so as to correct the deficiencies.

    This time, by discussing the reasons for the death of the Ming Dynasty, it provoked a debate in the Beijing News and the Ning Newspaper, and caused the Jiangnan officials and gentry to criticize the New Deal.  The effect is very good.  "

    "Let the gentry supervise and discuss state affairs, which song is this?"  Since ancient times, I have never heard of it. Listening to Zhenwu's talk, Yinsu, Yinxiang, and Zhang Penghie couldn't help but be stunned. Zhenwu meant to let Ning Bao speak freely and allow Ning Bao to do whatever he wanted to the court and officials.  Criticism, isn¡¯t this a mess?  This is purely a self-inflicted crime, nothing to do.  Looking for scolding!

    After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yongzao tentatively said: "Your Majesty, even so, I believe that I have to impose some restrictions to prevent them from attacking Manchuria and endangering the Qing Dynasty's orthodoxy."

    Zhenwu said nonchalantly: "The Qing Dynasty ruled the world for more than seventy years. It eliminated the border troubles in the northwest and the sea troubles in the south and south of the Yangtze River. The world was unified, and internally the people were recuperating and recuperating, and the people were living and working in peace and contentment.  His duties lead to the prosperity of all industries, prosperity of commerce, peace of the country and rule of the people, and peace of thieves.

    Externally, the territory is expanded, and all factions surrender.  When all nations come to the DPRK, it can be said that it is a prosperous port for the people and peace for both China and foreign countries.  At home in Yinfu, the people of the Qing Dynasty have long regarded the Qing Dynasty as orthodox. Even if some scholars with resentment occasionally criticize it, how can they obliterate the orthodoxy of the Qing Dynasty?

    As the saying goes, justice lies in the hearts of the people. Whether it is orthodox or not is not decided by the imperial court. The gentry and common people all over the world have their own comparisons in their hearts. The Qing Dynasty must not only rival the previous Ming Dynasty, but also surpass the previous Ming Dynasty.  Beyond the Han and Tang dynasties, what the Qing Dynasty needed was not only peace and prosperity for the people, but also the development of people's wisdom and the expansion of their opinions.  We must make the gentry and common people proud of the Qing Dynasty, be proud of the Qing Dynasty, wholeheartedly support the Qing Dynasty, and maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty.  "

    Hearing these words, Yinsu and Yinxiang couldn't help but feel enlightened.  It¡¯s no wonder that as soon as Old Fourteen was firmly in his position, he began to innovate the Eight Banners system. He gradually relaxed restrictions on the banner people and lifted the constraints on the local garrison of the Eight Banners. He also vigorously promoted the integration of Manchus and Hans and encouraged Manchu-Han marriages. It turned out that there were  So ambitious.

    Zhang Penghie, Xiao Yongzao, and Song Zhu were also shocked by Zhenwu's ambition. Zhenwu actually had the same virtue as Kangxi and wanted to be an emperor for eternity. No one expected that his intention in founding Ningbao was actually  It is necessary to form a platform where people can freely express their opinions, even criticize the court and its policies, so as to encourage the gentry and merchants to supervise and discuss the government affairs.

    After thinking for a moment, Zhang Penghie bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it is unprecedented to encourage gentry and merchants to supervise and discuss government affairs. This is tantamount to setting a precedent for a generation. Only a wise and broad-minded monarch dares to take this lightly. The humble ministers secretly think that  , This move is conducive to developing people's wisdom and broadening their opinions. It is also conducive to the supervision of local officials who are high-ranking officials in the court, and is conducive to the court's timely discovery of deficiencies in governance.

    However, this move is tantamount to making it more difficult for the court to govern and guide public opinion. It may also create a bad trend of chatting that harms the country. It is also not conducive to stabilizing people's hearts and local stability.  I pray the emperor will think twice.  "

    Seeing that Zhang Penghie was the first to fire, Yinzhu followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, Jiangnan is a place where literary style flourishes. There are many talents, including famous scholars. If Ning Bao is not restricted at all, I may worry about Tai Ah's backlash.  . On the other hand, the south of the Yangtze River is a rich and prosperous place, and the wealthy businessmen and businessmen are like crucian carp crossing the river. I am also worried about the situation where the rich businessmen and businessmen will control Ningbao. The south of the Yangtze River is a major tax area of ??the country, and I also sincerely pray that the emperor will be careful."

    Yinxiang also followed: "Your Majesty, I think it is worth giving it a try to encourage gentry and merchants to supervise and discuss government affairs. However, the Emperor has refreshed the administration of officials, and the reform shortcomings are in the ascendant. Can it be postponed for a few years?"Will it be implemented?  "

    Seeing that Xiao Yongzao was about to open his mouth, Zhenwu stretched out his hand and pressed it lightly, saying: "Fifteenth brother, you are in charge of the Beijing News. Please tell me the procedures for publishing articles in the Beijing News."

    "My dear brother, I respect your decree." Yinyu hurriedly bowed, raised his body, and then said: "The Beijing News has dedicated writers in the capital and in various provinces, prefectures and counties. Most of them are well-known local gentry.  Generally, there are one or two people from prefectures and counties, and there are two or three people from the government and above. They all write directly for the Beijing News. The personnel and affairs written by the writers are not limited to the local area.

    Manuscripts submitted by Beijing News contributors must be reviewed by the editor-in-chief, and sample newspapers must be submitted to the Emperor for review before they can be typeset and published. Manuscripts submitted by non-Beijing News contributors are subject to stricter review.  "

    "Ning Bao's requirements for writers are a little looser, and it is easier for manuscripts to be published in Ning Bao." Zhenwu took over the topic and said: "Although there are no restrictions on Ning Bao, it is not completely laissez-faire.  Things must be properly guided, and there must be a process for complete freedom. Of course, Ningbao will eventually become a completely free people's newspaper."

    A completely free democratic newspaper?  Are private newspapers allowed to be founded?  Several people couldn't help but were slightly startled, but this was something to talk about later, and no one wanted to say anything. Zhenwu glanced at a few people, and then said: "For the sake of Ning Bao's reputation, and in order to create a good start for Ning Bao, I have already  Prince Yanji places no restrictions on Ning Bao. In this debate between Beijing News and Ning Bao, Beijing News must win completely.

    The root cause of the Ming Dynasty¡¯s demise is closely related to the implementation of the New Deal and the implementation of Shanxi¡¯s trial New Deal.  I believe that the collapse of the Ming Dynasty was due to the disaster of the refugees, the emptiness of the treasury and the inability to raise troops. However, with a strong military force, the refugees would not have captured the capital, and Wu Sangui would not have given up Shanhaiguan while being attacked from both sides.  "

    After a slight pause, he continued: "A decree was sent to Wang Hongxu to return to the capital, rewarded with his original rank, and still join the Ming History Museum to be responsible for the compilation of the "History of the Ming Dynasty". The country cannot be without history. Regarding the compilation of the "History of the Ming Dynasty," we must dare to write directly.  There is no need to deliberately avoid historical materials to beautify the dynasty, nor to deliberately distort. The Qing Dynasty deliberately vilified the Ming Dynasty, and future generations will also deliberately vilify the Qing Dynasty. We must deliberately cultivate historians who dare to write straightly.

    Officials from the Ming History Museum were also ordered to write an article for the Beijing News to comprehensively and profoundly analyze the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty. This was not only for debate, but also to make it clear to officials and gentry in both the government and the public. This created the Ming Dynasty with the rule of Renxuan, Hongzhi Zhongxing, and Longwan Zhongxing.  How the dynasty declined and perished can be learned from history, and we can know the rise and fall of the dynasty. Not only officials should learn from it, but also the gentry should learn from it.

    The people are the foundation of the country, and the gentry is the foundation of the country. In the Qing Dynasty, the court and the gentry co-governed. If there is no skin left, how can the general be attached?  After the death of the Ming Dynasty, the gentry was also widely abused by the refugees, and many of them died and their families were wiped out. The court and the gentry were connected in interests and had a common fate, which made the gentry look further ahead and think more about future generations.

    Li Guangdi, Zhang Penghie, Fang Bao, Dai Mingshi, Chen Menglei and others wrote articles for the Beijing News, expounding in detail the relationship between the Jin gentry and the imperial court, and explaining the necessity of the New Deal. In addition, he called on all officials of the imperial court to write articles for the Beijing News, and all those who were adopted by the Beijing News  I will reward all articles.  "

    ¡°My dear, Zhenwu is mobilizing all the power of the imperial court to challenge the gentry from the south of the Yangtze River in Ningbao!  This is really called looking for something to do when you have nothing to do. Zhang Penghie, Xiao Yongzao, Song Zhu and others went to the study and the three of them hurriedly bowed and said: "I respectfully respect the holy edict."

    Yinhu and Yinxiang secretly smacked their tongues. It seems that the big debate between the Beijing News and the Ningbao will become more intense. It's been quite lively during this period. However, Yinyou secretly complained. He is quite busy now.  Now, everyone in the Beijing News is probably very busy.

    Zhenwu glanced at a few people and then continued: "In addition, order the academic administration and local officials of each province, prefecture and county to supervise the students of each provincial school, prefectural school, prefecture school, and county school, and all academies, Western schools, social schools,  Volunteer students should discuss and study the Beijing News and Ning News in recent times and publicize it widely."

    "I obey the order." Yinhu and others hurriedly bowed and said, each of them secretly dumbfounded. In this way, this debate will affect all the states and counties in the Qing Dynasty. Ning Bao will become famous now.

    Zhenwu nodded slightly and said: "Yinsu and Yinxiang stay, and the others kneel down."

    After waiting for Yinyu and Zhang Penghe to exit, Zhenwu took a few sips of tea before saying with a smile: "Tenth brother broke up with me at Tongguan, went south to Shanghai, and then via Guangzhou, rushed to Nanyang Garopa. The navy to conquer Africa has already  Get ready to go, have your manpower arranged properly?"

    When they heard that Yinqi had gone south to Garopa, Yinsu and Yinxiang hurriedly bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, all the manpower and ships have been arranged, and they have started to go south one after another in July."

    Zhenwu nodded slightly and said: "During this period, officials' salaries have been increased, the Eight Banners Green Camp has increased their salaries, the new Imperial Guard army has been expanded, and the navy has been expanded. Money is needed everywhere. My internal funds can only support it for two years at most.  Africa must see silver within two years." After a slight pause, he looked at Yinhu and said, "Bago and Arai-kun are beautiful."How's it going?  "
