Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 224
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing when Wei Zhongxian mentioned that the editor-in-chief of Daming Daily was Zhang Dai, and that he had resigned angrily recently.

For Zhang Dai, a giant in the literary world, Zhu Youxiao naturally knew about it. You must know that he was also fascinated by the article "Looking at the Snow in the Lake Heart Pavilion".

However, according to Zhu Youxiao's knowledge, although Zhang Dai had a good life in his early years, because of repeated failures in the local examinations and his own poor livelihood, he ended up in a barren and desolate situation.

But now this person named Zhang Dai is the chief writer of Daming Daily who has just left his post. According to Zhu Youxiao, it is probably because he can make a living on this, because Zhu Youxiao once replied to Wei Zhongxian's memorial. The remuneration should not be lower than that when Hu Zongxian asked Xu Wei to be an aide.

"Where is this person now, let him come to see me", Zhu Youxiao said, and Wei Zhongxian couldn't help laughing: "This person is still in the hall now, he has nowhere to go, and it is not easy for the minister to drive him out, but This person just refuses to start writing, so these days only a few issues can only be published with only news and no big talk."

Saying that, Wei Zhongxian ordered his servant to invite Zhang Dai.

Not long after, Zhu Youxiao saw a middle-aged man with a square scarf on his head and a half-new student uniform, but also an extremely scruffy beard. He bowed lazily to Zhu Youxiao: " Student Zhang Dai has met His Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao was stunned. In his opinion, since an author who can write such a clever and elegant essay as "Looking at the Snow in the Lake Heart Pavilion", the author should be the same as some young literary and artistic youths in modern times. Although their personalities are very different, they are not so poor and embarrassed , but the person in front of him with slack-eyed eyes is hard to think that this is the dandy who used to be so nice, so beautiful, so nice, so nice, so nice, and so delicious.

"Get up, Zhang Dai, according to Wei Zhongxian, you resigned as the editor-in-chief of Daming Daily, but why are you still here?"

After Zhu Youxiao asked a question, he looked narrowly at the late Ming literary giant.

Zhang Dai was not restrained because he was in front of His Majesty today, and replied directly: "Because the student is too shy, most of the money has been spent. As long as Grand Duke Wei doesn't kick him out, the student doesn't want to leave. Anyway, we Eunuch Wei is also a well-known Living Bodhisattva in Nanjing City, and he loves to help poor scholars, since this is the case, the students have to rely on Eunuch Wei to help them."

Indeed, as Zhang Dai said, now that Wei Zhongxian has gained fame, his moral status has been elevated all of a sudden, but he can't get down from power, so I'm sorry to drive Zhang Dai away again.

Seeing that he was so naughty and helpless, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing, and asked again: "I heard from Wei Zhongxian that the reason why you resigned as the chief writer is because you refused to write advertisements for Luo's Grain Store?"

With the emergence of various new things, various new words have also emerged in Daming, such as advertisements and advertising words, which were born because of the emergence of Daming Daily, and have been widely known in the whole country, especially in Jiangnan and other places. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian also mentioned the word "advertisement" above.

"Eunuch Wei is not interested in money, but the students are not willing to write any advertisements for such a profiteer who started by cheating and abducting, and want to impress me with a high price of one word. There is no way, the students would rather starve to death!"

When Zhang Dai said this, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but smile awkwardly, but he really couldn't do anything to Zhang Dai, this kind of talented person who is proud of his talent sometimes can't get angry with them.

"I just read your comments on Fengyang's levy of commercial taxes, and there are quite a few things worthy of recognition, and it can be seen that you also advocate the joint progress of farmers and businessmen, and now the Daming Daily is not only for Prospering education and promoting people's wisdom are naturally meant to drive business, and this will also make Daming Daily even stronger, don't you even understand this?"

After Zhu Youxiao said that, he got up and walked to Zhang Dai, and threw a newspaper he bought before in front of Zhang Dai.

Zhang Dai couldn't help but clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know that the owner of the Luo's Grain Shop, Luo Yihong, lived by hoarding his family, and he was a villain in the village. Students would rather write advertisements for Zheng Tuobei, who is in charge of selling cow dung, than give him a copy." Write."

"It does have a bit of spirit, Zhang Dai, let me ask you, if I let you be the chief editor of the Daming Daily with the title of a doctor in the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, and be responsible for the editor-in-chief of the Daming Daily, and those advertisements that will be published in the future will also be published by the editor." You and Wei Zhongxian made a joint decision, are you still willing to continue as the editor-in-chief of Daming Daily?"

Zhang Dai didn't expect that His Majesty would suddenly appoint him an official, and he was still an Hanlin official, with the title of Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Rituals, and asked himself and Wei Zhongxian to jointly decide on the standards for publishing advertisements. : "Students obey the order, thank Your Majesty for your grace."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and at the same time decided to officially announce that the "Daming Daily" would be separated from the direct jurisdiction of the Nanjing Town Guard Mansion, and be directly responsible to Zhu Youxiao, that is, it would be directly independent and become the same as Taipu Temple and Taichang Temple. The yamen, but Wei Zhongxian is still in charge, and Zhang Dai is in charge of daily affairs.

In addition, the Beijing Express, managed by the Ministry of Rites, was also independent, and its grade was determined. It will be used as Zhu Youxiao's propaganda tool in the north in the future.

When Zhu Youxiao confirmed the status of the two major state-owned newspapers, the latest battle between the Tartars and the Wu Xiang tribe also came from outside Shanhaiguan.

During this period, because Daming refused to rescue Wu Xiang's department and closed the Shanhai Pass according to Zhu Youxiao's order, Wu Xiang's department had to fight to the death with the Manchu Tartars. And because this was their last place of survival, the Wuxiang tribe actually withstood the Tartars' attacks on Jinzhou several times.

However, the Manchu emperor Huang Taiji couldn't continue to fight, so he had to retreat, and the two sides returned to their previous state after losing each other. In order to survive, Wu Xiang's department is now tearing up their skin and starting to plunder the border of Ming Dynasty.

"Killing more than [-] of my subjects, does Wu Xiang's department really treat me as a Ming Dynasty and dare not do anything to a rebellious minister and traitor like him!"

Zhu Youxiao slapped the table angrily, but sighed helplessly. Now that the Ordnance Department's new firearms have just started production, and the training of the new army of the Imperial Guard has not yet been completely completed, he has no way to go to Wu at all now. The Xiangbu and other forces launched a war, but this does not mean that Zhu Youxiao has nothing to do.

After he calmed down for a while, he called Li Mingrui over: "Designate an order to order Mao Wenlong's department to launch a revenge operation against Wu Xiang's department. The mission is random, but a satisfactory answer must be given to me in one month."

When Zhu Youxiao said this, Wang Chengen couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, will this force Wu Xiang's troops to fight against me, so that they will really start a war with me, Ming Dynasty?"

"Hmph, I wish he could go to war. He has just been through a battle and his morale is not high. In addition, there is a tiger like Man Qing behind him. He is going to die in Wu Xiang's department. He dares to fight against my Ming!"

Zhu Youxiao said very firmly.
