Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 161 The first newspaper of the Ming Dynasty!
The imperial court really needs to have its own mouthpiece to speak for the imperial court.

For example, in this reform, what the court needs to do is to win the support of the general public.

Zhu Biao deeply believes in this.

Zhu Biao looked at Yang Xian and said, "Yang Qing, your idea of ​​starting a newspaper is indeed a good suggestion."

"You will be solely responsible for this matter, Yang Qing. If you need help with anything, just ask and I will help you solve it as soon as possible."

Yang Xian smiled and said: "The most important issue is to establish the legitimacy and authority of the newspaper. I have already thought of the name of the newspaper, and it will be called Daming Daily."

"This is simple. After I returned to Beijing, I discussed with my father to set up a special department to take charge of this matter like wool clothing and rail trains." Zhu Biao thought for a while and said.

Now that things have been decided, the next step is implementation.

In fact, Yang Xian was already preparing to launch a newspaper two years ago.

From the moment he wrote The Red Chamber and invented the photocopier.

During the past two years, he also recruited a group of frustrated scholars and opened their horizons by instilling new ideas in them.Like Li Jin, they are all loyal fans of Yang Xian.

Most of these people are now teaching in Yangzhou National Primary School and Yangzhou Adult University.

In this way, you don’t have to worry about the content of the newspaper, and it uses vernacular that is easy for people to understand.

Of course, the first issue of the newspaper was about tax reform, and Yang Xianhui personally handled it.

Yang Xian plans to send the remaining scholars to various parts of the country to take charge of newspaper propaganda.After all, the literacy rate of the people in the Ming Dynasty was still too low. They wanted to play a role similar to storytellers and penetrate into the masses.

A month later.

Suzhou.

Under the operation of the huge machine of the Shen family firm, the Liuli business is now on the right track. The silver earned every day is brought back to the warehouse by the truckload.

Shen Wansan had to sigh with emotion at how unique and far-sighted that young man's strategic vision was.

He even regrets now why he didn't bite the bullet and directly become the national general agent of Yangzhou Liuli.

Although most of the silver earned has to be used to replenish supplies in Yangzhou.

But even so, the profits are exaggerated enough to easily surpass many industries that the Shen family has been operating for more than ten years.

Sitting in the carriage, Shen Wansan was thinking about when to go to Yangzhou to see Yang Xian in person.

He has always been thinking about that rail train.

While Shen Wansan was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from outside the carriage.

Shen Wansan, whose thoughts were interrupted, reached out to lift the car curtain and looked outside.

A strong man was pushing a cart on the street.

The car was covered with thick papers, like test papers for a scientific examination.

"Come on, come on, the Daming Daily published by the imperial court is here! Three copper coins a copy!"

“The imperial court announced that the new tax system will be implemented nationwide in the coming year. To see the specific content, check out Daming Daily!”

"There are also a series of exciting contents such as Yongchang Hou's relatives, resisting the New Deal, hiding their land, breaking up the clan and confiscating their homes!"

"With three copper coins, you can't buy it and suffer a loss, and you can't buy it and get cheated!"

A young man wearing a special uniform followed the trolley filled with newspapers, shouting loudly from the side.

His words immediately aroused enthusiastic responses from those around him.

You must know that tax reform affects everyone in the Ming Dynasty. Although Suzhou has been implemented as a pilot for some time, the people are still a little unclear about it.

Even if you ask the police officers, few of them can explain the New Deal clearly.

And this newspaper actually contains the entire content of the New Deal.

It's really worth buying one for three copper coins, not to mention the fact that Yongchang Hou's relatives were confiscated by the Po clan.

You must know that people who enjoy music have always been indispensable since ancient times.A newspaper published by the imperial court? !

Shen Wansan was shocked. You must know that before this, newspapers like the imperial palace were only circulated among the officials.There were private tabloids in the Song Dynasty, but they did not grow in scale and their influence was only limited to a small area.

For thousands of years, there has never been a situation where newspapers were distributed to people all over the world in the name of the imperial court.

It can be said that it was the first time that Pangu created a world.

"Ah Qi, go buy a newspaper and come back." Shen Wansan said, and then put down the car curtain in his hand.

"Yes, Master."

After hearing Shen Wansan's instructions, Ah Qi immediately walked towards the newspaper cart.

There were a lot of people coming to buy newspapers at this time. After all, shouting before was so attractive. In a place like Suzhou, almost no one would be short of those three coppers.

Fortunately, Ah Qi was skilled in martial arts, so no matter how crowded the crowd was, he still looked like a swimming fish and quickly passed through the crowd and arrived at the small cart selling newspapers.

Not long after, Ah Qi came back with a brand new copy of Daming Daily.

"Boss, newspaper."

Shen Wansan reached out to take the newspaper and immediately observed it carefully.

I saw that the newspaper was divided into many sections, large and small.

Each section has different content.

He took a quick glance at it first, and then focused entirely on the large sections that occupied a huge amount of content.

First of all, the headline on the front page is the introduction of this new tax reform.

The content is very detailed, not only recording the content of the new tax system, but also comparing it with the old tax system one by one.

I wrote in detail about the advantages of the new tax system.

Ordinary people can pay less taxes and gain profits as a result.

The person who wrote it is really very talented.

The more Shen Wansan looked at it, the more amazed he became.

He was amazed not only by the writing style, but also by the author's thorough understanding of the new tax system.

It is almost as if this policy was formulated by the person who wrote it.

As the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, he was naturally very sensitive to tax reform.

As early as the beginning of the pilot implementation of the New Deal in several Jiangnan governments, Shen Wansan had already obtained the contents of the new tax system from the government through his connections.

He had carefully studied the tax system before.

But after reading the contents of the newspaper in my hand today, I still benefited a lot, and many things that I had doubts about were immediately clear to me.

Shen Wansan read word for word, sentence by sentence, very slowly.

see last.

"Writer, Yang Xian."

"It was actually written by him?" Shen Wansan was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it should be like this.

In Shen Wansan's view, only a great talent like Yang Xian could write such a to-the-point policy analysis.

The entire text is written in the most understandable vernacular, and is supported by data at the beginning. As long as you are literate, you can easily understand the new tax policy.

Even if you don't know the words, you will understand it if you listen to the people around you.

In this way, many people who originally did not understand the new tax system, or even felt panicked, will have an immediate change in their perception.
