On the dragon throne, Emperor Qing asked with considerable interest:
"Tell me."
The trend brought about by the newspaper
The impact is still significant to this day.
Especially with the emergence of dozens of newspapers in Kyoto,
Newspaper offices began to be established gradually throughout the Qing Kingdom.
Channels for people to obtain information
Suddenly there were countless more.
and,
Some bad cases,
It is also changing quietly.
For example, streets and alleys
There have been far fewer instances of the powerful and wealthy bullying men and women.
after all,
Nobody wants to be on the front page of a newspaper the next day.
The consequences would be extremely dire.
Normally,
Perhaps they could rely on their own background.
Suppress this kind of thing.
But with more people paying attention...
Suppressing it won't be that simple.
and,
They don't even look at the people behind the scenes running newspapers these days.
Prince, 852 prime ministers, 1042, 78 high-ranking officials in the Six Ministries,
Which one is easy to mess with?
In order to seize market share now
Their brains were practically spilling out.
With such hot topics,
Who would give up so easily for an idiot?
not to mention,
Even if this newspaper doesn't report it,
Why should other newspapers turn a blind eye?
So, let's leave the rest aside for now.
The prevailing social atmosphere in Qing Kingdom
It's true that I've gotten much better without even realizing it.
In particular, Emperor Qing had a deep affection for Luo Guanzhong, the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
I've always had a great interest in it.
He was also very curious.
He himself, the crown prince,
What makes someone as talented as him willing to work for them?
Of course, regarding Luo Guanzhong,
He had, of course, conducted a background check with the inner court.
A true Kyoto native,
I even participated in the imperial examination twenty years ago.
After failing the exam,
He has been running his own bookstore ever since.
It seems that,
After reading the article about young Qingguo in the newspaper,
That's when he decided to serve at the Recruitment Hall.
Therefore,
He couldn't help but ponder the rationale behind the imperial examination system.
Why would someone with such talent fail the exam?
Of course, he was just thinking about it casually.
The matter of the imperial examination
If we are not careful, the entire Qing Kingdom's officialdom will be shaken.
However, regarding what Li Chengqian wants to do next...
He was indeed very interested.
After all, there are successful examples like the Xinbao newspaper before us.
Naturally, this heightened his anticipation.
It has been elevated to an extremely high level.
Li Chengqian said loudly:
"I have heard that the position of postal transport commissioner has been vacant for a long time."
"This has led to the postal system incurring losses year after year."
"Therefore, your subject is willing to assume the position of postal transport commissioner to reorganize the postal routes. I hope Your Majesty will grant my request!"
The words fell,
The Taiji Hall was completely silent.
Many court officials did not look too pleased.
They all had many lazy and good-for-nothing relatives who were placed along the postal route.
This needs to be rectified.
Isn't it obvious they're cracking down on them?!
And so, in the silence,
Someone who surprised Li Chengqian stepped forward to speak.
"Your subject, Fan Jian, second this proposal!"
Fan Jian was also helpless.
Because of Fan Sizhe's matter,
The Fan family and the Crown Prince will be bound together for at least ten years.
The contract, written in black and white, is right there.
He can't clear his name with just empty words.
As for breach of contract
The key point is that the signatory on the other end is the Crown Prince.
How can I destroy it?
If they stubbornly refuse to admit it, they might offend the Crown Prince to death.
Although he was not afraid,
But what about Fan Sizhe and Fan Ruoruo?
What will happen to the Fan family after he dies?
Moreover, regarding the Xinbao incident,
The crown prince has already shown his talent.
Offending the Crown Prince at this juncture would be far from wise.
at this point,
Naturally, he had no choice but to begin to gravitate towards the Crown Prince in a measured way.
not to mention,
He wholeheartedly agreed with the Crown Prince's suggestion of a postal route.
After all, they were all working for the Qing Kingdom.
Whether it's the Imperial Treasury or the Ministry of Revenue,
Both are crucial sources of revenue for the Qing Kingdom.
At least, the postal route is no longer losing money.
There is more silver in the domestic treasury.
The Ministry of Revenue will naturally be under much less pressure.
As soon as Fan Jian finished speaking,
Guo Youzhi, the Minister of Rites, also stepped forward and said:
