Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

Five days later.

The first issue of the Daming Times was officially printed, and Sun Xuan took the newspaper to the East Palace to report.

"Your Highness, this is the first issue of the Ming Times, please take a look at it.

Zhu Cihong took the newspaper, opened it and read it, this layout is very modern, but there are not so many pictures, and the font of the title on the top is very large and eye-catching, so that people can understand its meaning and purpose at once.

The main articles above, on the one hand, are the dangers of anti-thieves in the northwest, the continuous plundering of border passes by foreign enemies, and some evil deeds of entry robbery, as well as various natural disasters, as well as some patriotic articles.

The writing of the article is also easy to understand, and there is no deliberate chewing of words, and the description of things is also simple and auspicious, and the text is down-to-earth, not only readers can appreciate it, even if it is a little literate people, they can also understand it.

"Yes, the theme is in place, and the mood of the writing is okay, which can arouse the enthusiasm of the people.

Zhu Cihong put away the newspaper, changed into civilian clothes, and asked, "How many copies of this issue of the newspaper have you printed so far?"

"Back to His Highness, since the minister is not sure how effective this newspaper is, he will take it to His Highness here first, and then print it after His Highness has finalized it."

Sun Xuan said with a smile.

"Then let's make some pictures on it, draw pictures of thieves robbing, destroying farmland, building slaves and killing people, and add pictures under the corresponding articles.

Zhu Cihong walked out of the East Palace and said as he walked: "In this way, the infection is a little stronger."

Sun Xuan followed His Highness's side, and after hearing the words, he opened the newspaper by himself and imagined the sense of picture under each article.

In this way, it will indeed be much more vivid, and it can arouse the anger of the people even more, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Your Highness, this method is good, so how much is

the first issue of printing?" "The first issue will be 10,000 copies first, and it will be sold inside and outside the capital, five cents a copy, try how the effect is."

Zhu Cihong thought about it, and set a price of five cents, in fact, the Ming Times will not make money in the short term, and even lose money.

However, his purpose in running a newspaper is not to make money, but to open up the people's wisdom through the newspaper, understand the country, understand the country's policies and some propaganda, and not be fooled and deceived by people with good intentions.

It can be published in many aspects, military, economic, cultural, inventive, history, policy, entertainment gossip, fun...... And so on, all of which can be clearly understood by the people, convey information to the people, and can also be a good way to curb some corrupt officials and corrupt officials from blinding the people to make profits, and can also establish a good supervision effect.

For example, if a certain place is affected by a disaster, and the imperial court wants to distribute relief food and relief money, it can be published in a newspaper in advance, so that the whole country knows about it, how much food and how much silver the imperial court has distributed in this disaster relief.

In this way, the magistrates will not be able to deceive the people, and the whole country will look at it, but if there is anything wrong, the people will go to the local government to complain, and they will be able to punish the corrupt officials immediately.

Another example is the military, a certain general soldier, who escaped from the battle, and the whole country issued accusations, so that the general soldier not only lost his life, but also lost his face.

Of course, Zhu Cihong considered that the illiteracy rate in the Ming Dynasty is relatively high today, and most people are illiterate, so in the imperial court, many military attaches are illiterate, let alone ordinary people.

So he decided to open a newsstand, specially arranged for a down-and-out reader to sell newspapers, and by the way read newspapers to illiterate people, which is like the official argument of the Ming Dynasty, the place to talk about major events in the world is more structured than the storyteller said, and the key is still real people and real things.

As for why we use down-and-out readers, because down-and-out readers represent those who have not integrated into the circle of mainstream interests, and do not have the sour taste of those mercenary literati.

Thinking about it, he instructed: "Let's open newspaper kiosks inside and outside the capital, and raise a group of down-and-out readers to be responsible for selling newspapers and reading newspapers to the illiterate people."

"Build a shed outside the newsstand, take a few tables and chairs, and sell some tea and snacks, so that you can get back a lot."

Hearing this, Sun Xuan gave his thumb a thumbs up, patted this fart, and said: "His Royal Highness's talent can no longer be described in words, and the minister's admiration for His Royal Highness is out of control!"

"Don't shoot the sycophants, if things don't work well, I'll still withdraw you.

Zhu Cihong smiled faintly, and said: "If this first issue is done well, the palace has its own reward, and the matter of opening a newspaper kiosk, you start to do it as soon as possible, and then issue it with the first issue of the newspaper, how much budget is needed, report it to Qiu Zhizhong, he will send someone to verify the budget, as long as the budget is accurate, he will give you the approval and get the money."

"Those who write the following articles, if they write well, they can be promoted, plus the seven-grade chief writer, from the seven-grade deputy pen, and then the six-grade editor-in-chief, the five-grade editor-in-chief or something, the reporter must also set an official position, always give people room for promotion, and the talents below are motivated."

As

soon as Sun Xuan heard the words of reward, his eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately swore and promised: "The minister must do his best, the Ming Times is the lifeblood of the minister, and it will definitely make it shine!!"

......

The entrance of Jingying.

"Minister Qian Qianyi, see Your Highness.

Qian Qianyi had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Zhu Cihong coming, he trotted forward and said with a smile: "The military oath ordered by His Royal Highness has been written out according to His Highness's template, and it has been issued by the Ministry of Rites to all over the country's health offices and military camps.

Zhu Cihong nodded, it is not enough to have the declaration of the Ming Army, he also wants to cultivate professional soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, starting from the Beijing camp, first turning all the soldiers in the Beijing camp into a professional soldier, a professional soldier with national beliefs and military beliefs.

Otherwise, the soldiers below have no national beliefs and no military qualities, and when the time comes, which general soldier dares to disobey orders, cause trouble to the people, and rebel, they will all fucking blindly follow.

"Gao Yi, the subordinate governor of the Beijing battalion, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"The subordinate deputy general of the Beijing battalion, Gao Shun, the deputy general Yang Zaixing, the general of the Shenji battalion, Zhang Wenjing, the general of the 3,000 battalion, Zhao Wen, the general of the 3,000 battalion, and Chen Peng, the general of the staff...... See His

Royal Highness the Prince!" In the Beijing camp, Gao Yi led a group of generals to greet Zhu Cihong, they were all the most loyal generals of His Royal Highness the Prince, and they absolutely acted on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Let's get started.

Zhu Cihong raised his hand, his face was full of smiles, this group of people are his most loyal subordinates, brave in battle, courageous, now the Beijing camp is a passion, a vitality, every day hard training all kinds of projects, every day to explain the art Xi of war and tactics, the Beijing camp at this moment, is enough to be called 110,000 elite

army! Coupled with the strengthening of faith, it is the real division of the Ming king, the weapon of the country

! "Ordered the whole army in the Beijing camp to line up!".

Gao Yi walked up to the high platform and ordered everyone in the Beijing camp to line up, it was impossible for the 110,000 army to be able to accommodate all of them in the Beijing camp, and there were 70,000 or 80,000 troops encamped outside the city, but Gao Yi would go to inspect every day.

"Report to the Governor, the whole army is in formation, please instruct!" After

about a quarter of an hour, forty or fifty thousand people were assembled, each wearing armor, with a sword at his waist, a bow and arrow on his back, and his movements were swift, and he looked ready to fight at any time, and everyone was neatly lined up, with straight figures, and a resolute look on his face!

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose

!" Tens of thousands of people knelt down on one knee in unison and let out an earth-shattering roar!"

Very good, Gao Yi, you manage Jingying very well.

Zhu Cihong nodded with satisfaction, with this elite, it is not a problem to sweep the northwest anti-thieves, of course, as long as those anti-thieves dare to fight head-on, if they still run around, they will have to formulate an encirclement and suppression tactic.

After the oath is taken, it is time to transfer troops to Jiangnan.
