Chapter 1072 Release
Just after the Shangyuan Dynasty, various government offices in the imperial court began to operate. The New Year atmosphere was swept away, and a gloomy and depressing air enveloped the entire Guanzhong.
All the officials and merchants were cautious and cautious, fearing that they would be spotted by others if they made a mistake. The tragedy that happened at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion years ago has been spread throughout Guanzhong. Everyone knows that Yin Fangjun of Jingzhao has received the warrant from the old woman of the Ding family to investigate the case of the Ding family's granddaughter who died of illness for no reason.
The defendant in this case is none other than the Yuan family, one of the "Eight Pillar Kingdoms"...
Who among the people in Guanzhong doesn't know how glorious and powerful the "Eight Pillar Kingdom" was back then?
Even if His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is so wise and powerful, no one dares to look down on the Yuan family who has always been so inconspicuous!
Fang Jun, the most popular person in the DPRK, and Yuanshi, the backbone of the "Eight Pillar Kingdom" and the Guanlong Group, the collision between the two will definitely be as shocking as an earthly dragon turning over! Those who have nothing to do with themselves have already stepped aside, fearing that the strong fluctuations generated by the collision will affect themselves and cause disaster to fall from the sky...
Unlike management businessmen who were concerned about their own interests, ordinary people who had no interest in the matter overwhelmingly supported Fang Jun.
Who doesn’t know Fang Erlang’s title of “Buddha of all families”?
Who doesn't know that Fang'er Bangchui specializes in catching and beating up dandies who do evil things, but he is considerate of the people and benefits the common people?
The servants of the Fang family were also worried.
Although their Erlang had a bad temper and was a bit arrogant, and was sometimes known as the most prodigal son of the Tang Dynasty, they still hoped from the bottom of their hearts that their Erlang would live a long life, have many children and be blessed, and be a prince for generations to come.
As long as the people in Guanzhong come out to work, who doesn't look forward to the stars and the moon to work in Fang's family? Not to mention that both the owner and the servants of the Fang family had three meals a day, and they were never stingy in rewards.
From top to bottom, the Fang family has the heart of a Bodhisattva.
Needless to say, the head of the house, Fang Xuanling, is a realistic template for a moral gentleman. When the maid wiped the desk, she accidentally broke the high-quality Duan inkstone. Fang Xuanling just whispered a few words to pay attention to it in the future, and said with a smile Don’t worry, doesn’t our family have a God of Wealth who can make money? The Duan Inkstone is not worth mentioning, just ask Erlang to buy a few more.
If you put this in another house, I'm afraid half of your life will be lost...
Mistress Lu seems to be fierce, but in fact she is the most kind-hearted person in the family.
When the maids and maids got into trouble, she would just nod her head and reprimand loudly. When any of the servants suffered from illness or disaster, she would always generously reward them with money to help those in need.
The elder of the Fang family is a nerd and doesn't care about things at all. The eldest grandmother, Du Shi, has a soft personality. She will shed a few tears when she sees the death of the puppy in the house...
As for Princess Gaoyang and Aunt Wu, they are even more good people.
Her Highness the Princess usually scolds people for not understanding the rules and being careless, but even after scolding her, she turned around and didn't even remember it. Aunt Wu was a little more fierce, but that was only for the stewards who had done something wrong. When Aunt Wu was the housekeeper, everyone had to be cautious. If the servants did something wrong, she would give them gentle instructions. If the stewards did something wrong, the consequences would be serious, ranging from being whipped to being kicked out of the house. .
But Aunt Wu has clear rewards and punishments. Even if she punishes anyone, she can make people convinced. How can a family like the Tang Dynasty have no rules at all?
There are not many servants in the Fang family, and most of them are hired out alive.
In Fang Erlang's words, ordinary people really don't have the qualifications to be our servants!
What makes the servants and maids of other families the most jealous is that as long as the servants of the Fang family are not in the house, they can get two days of leave every month. The Fang family will use carriages to send the servants and maids who are on rotation back Staying at home for two days...
This was an era when slave status was equivalent to that of ants. Slaves, like livestock, were the property of their masters. Even hired slaves had to work as cattle and horses in wealthy families for many years. Except for their parents who were guarding the door of the house, they could only stay away from them through the gate. Looking at one's own children from a distance and wanting to go back in an upright manner is simply a dream!
The maids and servants who can go out alone in the east and west cities of Chang'an must belong to the Fang family. When the policemen and Wuhou who patrol the streets see people who look like maids and servants, they will first ask: "Are they servants of the Fang family?" As long as the maid can show a Fang family card, the officials will not care about it, and you can wander around as you please.
But if you can't get the cards, it will be a tragedy. In this era, slaves who leave the house without permission will be regarded as runaway slaves. If they are caught, they will be brought to justice. After dozens of cards, most of them will be sent to mass burials. Waiting to die...
Who wouldn’t want such a family to be a prince for generations to come?
However, what surprised everyone was that Fang Jun did not attack the Yuan family like thunder after opening the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. Instead, he first announced the establishment of a "Zhenguan Newspaper" in the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. Publish "Zhenguan Weekly"...
Then, something even more unexpected happened.
Liang Guogong, Da Sikong, Shangshu Zuopushe and Fang Xuanling submitted their resignations!
For a moment, the temple was shaken, and both the government and the public were shocked!
Although Fang Xuanling is old and has lost energy in recent years, he is not yet old enough to beg for his remains and return to his hometown, right? What's more, even if you really want to resign and become an official, why do you have to do it at such a sensitive point?
The battle between Fang Jun and the Guanlong Group has just heated up today, and the fight with the Yuan family is brewing. It is the time when Fang Xuanling is needed to support and make suggestions behind him. If he really becomes an official, wouldn't it mean that Fang Jun's arm will be cut off?
Although the emperor favored and trusted Fang Jun, in the final analysis, it was still for profit. How could his father spare no effort and analyze the pros and cons?
*****
On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, the first issue of "Zhenguan Weekly" was released.
Countless aristocratic families, meritorious relatives and even court officials are all waiting eagerly to see what kind of gadget Fang Jun, who has always made extraordinary moves, will come up with this time.
At three o'clock in the morning, when the "Zhenguan Weekly", which smelled of ink, was loaded onto a carriage from the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion for official publication, the whole city of Chang'an was shocked!
Is this a newspaper release?
It's like giving away money, it's like wasting money!
The high-quality bamboo paper is white and flexible, and even a small official would not be willing to use it more than once. A newspaper consists of three sheets folded together. The black and shiny Guange style handwriting on the newspaper is clear and the strokes are round.
The price of these three pieces of bamboo paper alone is more than ten cents in the market. Add in the labor cost of copying these dense words, and the cost of a newspaper is at least thirty cents, right?
The price is only five cents!
There are many merchants in Chang'an City, and even those aristocratic families who claim to be heirlooms of farming and reading are actually used to doing business and calculating accounts. A rough calculation shows that this newspaper will lose at least twenty-five cents.
Of course, everyone knows that Fang Jun is rich. If he is willing to give his own money to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, that is his business. Who cares about others?
But I can't stand the huge circulation of "Zhenguan Weekly"!
How big is it?
Not only were the newsboys all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an hawking on the streets, but every government agency directly under the imperial court had to subscribe, including teahouses, restaurants, shops, warehouses, and even brothels and Chu palaces!
This is not over yet!
The carriages running in all directions along the city gate and passing through the post station system of the Tang Dynasty will spread this issue of "Zhenguan Weekly" to all the prosperous cities in Guanzhong within ten days, and it will inevitably spread throughout the country with the circulation of merchants. Tang!
Someone secretly calculated that the circulation of this issue of "Zhenguan Weekly" is absolutely impossible to be less than 10,000 copies! You will lose 250 guan to issue one issue, plus the labor costs of issuing it, you will have to lose at least 500 guan!
Okay, that guy Fang Jun has a lot of money, he is a man known as the "God of Wealth", so this little money probably can't ruin the family...
When everyone sat down and read the contents of this newspaper carefully, everyone felt as if they had found a treasure and were excited!
The first article at the beginning is what is called an "editorial."
The main author is the world-famous Confucian Kong Yingda!
Almost all the Confucian disciples in Chang'an City were excited!
Who is Kong Yingda?
Confucian sage, a generation of Confucian masters!
The former Imperial College Prince was in charge of the country’s education, and he was also the prince’s teacher!
There was praise among Confucian students: "Confucius in Guanxi was more famous today; Fu Sheng in Jinan was revived in this time!"
This shows how lofty Kong Yingda’s status in Confucianism is!
After getting excited, I naturally wanted to appreciate Kong Yingda’s wonderful article.
On the title page of the article, the words "The people are the foundation of the country, the foundation is strong and the country is peaceful" are written in large pavilion style... (End of this chapter)
