Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 1702 Newspaper

"In the world, people are precious. The emperor and the herdsmen should follow the rules." Zhang Pu, wearing rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, preached impassionedly on the high platform.

"The king does not keep ministers, the ministers do not keep people, and the people do not keep servants. This is the reason."

Although the image looks a bit funny, the figure becomes taller and taller.

When he opens his mouth, no one can laugh at him anymore.

According to his status in the scholarly community and his wealth of knowledge, as long as he could speak, others would only have admiration and awe.

This is also true. Once Zhang Pu spoke incessantly, some people began to sweat on their foreheads.

That’s fine, it saves me a lot of effort!

Seeing that the Spring and Autumn Conference was finally on the right track, Zhang Shun couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and then Shi Shiran walked down from the noisy high platform.

This is not his stage, he should give way to a real dancer!

"Your Highness?" Zhang Shungang walked down, but unexpectedly a man came up to meet him.

"It is this king, what is your name?" Zhang Shun felt a good impression when he saw that the man was only about forty years old, with a height of seven feet and an air of elegance all over his body.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the common man's surname is Zhang Cai, and his courtesy name is Lai Zhang." Zhang Cai quickly and respectfully replied, "We are life and death friends with Tian Ru!"

"Oh!" Zhang Shun understood immediately after hearing this, "Are you worried that Mr. Tianru will be left alone and be plotted by a villain?"

"Actually, we have already been plotted once!" Zhang Cai pointed to the scars on his face with a wry smile.

"Some time ago, Tianru and I had just distributed the summons for the Spring and Autumn Conference, but thugs came from nowhere and beat up everyone they saw."

"If my friend Yang Tingshu hadn't arrived in time with his people, I'm afraid... I might have died!"

"Oh, but it has something to do with the Oolong Club?" Zhang Shun was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but think of something.

"That's right, it's related to the Taicang Oolong Club!" Zhang Cai nodded and replied, "At that time, this group of people claimed to be from the Oolong Club, and taking advantage of the organization's troubles, they suddenly attacked Tianru's residence! "

"Familiar taste, familiar methods!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, then turned around and ordered to Wukong, "In a moment, you will pick a group of personal guards and follow Mr. Tianru to protect him. Don't be a villain. Take advantage of it!"

"Easy to say, easy to say, but... who is Mr. Tianru this time?" Wukong nodded and asked with a confused look on his face.

"Here, that's it!" Zhang Shun pointed at Zhang Pu who was giving a speech on the stage, and couldn't help but smile, "Mr. Zhang's nickname is Tianru, and he is known as Mr. Tianru."

"Then the common people will resign!" Zhang Cai said goodbye when he saw that this was certain.

"Hey, Mr. Laizhang, don't leave. I have something to ask you!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun stopped him with a smile.

"Looking for me." Zhang Cai couldn't help being stunned when he heard this, "I wonder why Your Highness is looking for me?"

"It's like this. I want to use this shareholder style to run a newspaper, and I want to ask you to be the editor!" Zhang Shun chuckled.

"Newspaper? What is a newspaper, and what is the position of an editor?" Zhang Cai couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.

"Have you ever heard of Di Bao?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but laugh, "I want to imitate Di Bao, don't have a newspaper, just focus on the world's news."

"Thinking of the common people's words, making suggestions and suggestions for the court, and specializing in speaking out about injustices in the world!"

"This..." Zhang Cai was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed.

It turns out that scholars in this era were idle all day long, specializing in slandering sages and insulting the court, which made people with lofty ideals feel sad.

If there is indeed a retribution, it can be used in the world. Not only can it control the public opinion of the world, but it can also promote its own doctrines. Wouldn't it be a great good!

"Then...what are your highness's plans?" Zhang Cai's eyes became eager.

"This matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Let me find a quiet place and tell you slowly!" Zhang Shun looked at the noisy scene around him and frowned.

"Easy to say, easy to say!" How could Zhang Cai disagree?

Not long after, Zhang Shun, Zhang Cai and others found a teahouse and chose a private room to sit down.

Zhang Shun then smiled and said: "First of all, this newspaper must have a name, such as daily, monthly, and ten-day newspaper. I think it is better to publish one every ten days, and it can be named Jiangnan Xunbao, Spring and Autumn Xunbao, etc. "

"Secondly, the masthead should have a date, and it should be published three times a month and divided into several pages. For example, the front page should be the most important things in the near future, followed by the second page, the third page, etc., and the bottom page should be the finale of a political article!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" After hearing Zhang Shun's words, Zhang Cai couldn't help but become more and more excited.

He is a very smart person, how could he not know Zhang Shun's thoughts after hearing this?

If a Jiangnan Xunbao was indeed published, the front page of the first issue would naturally be "Fushe convened the Spring and Autumn Conference in Changzhou", describing today's "grand scene".

The second edition is "King Shun came to the Spring and Autumn Conference" and delivered a speech.

The third page read, "The Oolong Society launched an uprising in Taicang, Suzhou and resolutely dealt with slavery."

The bottom page is "The abolition of slavery will benefit the present generation and benefit the future."

Through this thing, public opinion was completely detonated on the basis of the Spring and Autumn Conference, and slavery became an act that everyone wanted to fight.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zhang draws inferences from one case to another. He is truly a rare talent!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but praise Zhang Cai after hearing Zhang Cai's understanding.

As the saying goes: chivalrous people use force to break the law, Confucian people use literature to mess up the law.

Being able to integrate dozens of different societies in one go and establish a complex society, the reputation of "Er Zhang", which was so popular that it almost overshadowed the famous Donglin Party, was certainly not a wasted one.

The two of them are naturally good at manipulating and using public opinion.

Zhang Shun could already imagine how the report this week would completely detonate public opinion in Jiangnan and bring the "abolition of slavery" to a climax.

"Your Highness, this is inappropriate!" However, just as Zhang Shun and Zhang Cai were talking in the alley, Qian Qianyi suddenly interrupted.

"As the saying goes: Three people make a tiger! If these sharp weapons cannot be controlled by the imperial court, I'm afraid...I'm afraid they will be used by villains!"

"This..." Zhang Cai suddenly sobered up as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him in the dog days of summer.

"Your Highness, this is a serious matter, so I forgive the common people for not being able to..."

"Hey, to frustrate the Song Dynasty's ugliness, I still know that I won't be punished for my words. Is this dynasty worse?" Zhang Shun said with a smile.

"As long as it's reasonable and legal, we can talk about anything, and we can talk about anything!"

"If you don't argue, you won't understand, and if you don't explain things, it's better to guard against people's mouths than against rivers. Don't be afraid of what people say, the sky will not fall!"

Zhang Shun came from a later generation and experienced a lot, so he naturally understood a lot.

Compared with secret room politics, democratic politics is a major progress for society.

A major premise of democratic politics is to allow people to express their own opinions and then form a consensus through mutual debate.

If you can file a newspaper, he can also file a newspaper.

If you have any questions, you can raise them in person and refute them face to face. Don't make secret moves behind your back.

According to Zhang Shun’s own understanding of this era, from the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, the following intertwined interest groups have been roughly formed:

The Houjin Slaveholding Military Group, the Jiubian Military Town Group, the Rebel Uprising Group, the Northern Farming Group, the Jiangnan Shishang Group, the Armed Maritime Group, the Imperial Family Group, and the Southwest Chieftain Group.

Their interests and demands vary.

Of course, some need resolute attack, some need vigorous support, and some need constant reform.

However, Zhang Shun believed that he could suppress such a complicated and complicated relationship for a while, but not for a lifetime.

A typical example is Zheng He's voyages to the West. Although this allowed the Ming Dynasty to reap huge benefits, it also ended up being like a flash in the pan because the royal family monopolized most of the profits.

Therefore, after much thought, Zhang Shun believes that if he really wants to make progress in the entire society, the best way to achieve long-term stability and social development is through public opinion, allowing various interest groups to express their opinions, and thoroughly forming some social consensus.

Taking the current Jiangnan Gentry Group as an example, the vigorous development of industry and commerce is exactly what this society needs, and it is also an important prerequisite for moving toward capitalism and starting industrialization.

The extravagant styles and strange phenomena in Jiangnan are also manifestations of the extremely active social economy.

Slavery, however, was not.

This behavior is not only a retrogression of society, but also builds the prosperity of Jiangnan society on the suffering of many slaves.

History has proven that this kind of capitalism is unworkable and doomed to failure.

Therefore, he hopes to use an orderly ideological storm to completely solve the ideological shackles of this era and make adequate preparations for the start of a real new era.
