Li Yan chuckled:

Will courtiers oppose the emperor's policies?

How could they, who had already received privileges, stand in the way of the emperor's reforms?

That is to say...

Li Yan looked at the newspaper in front of him——

These people are all foreign forces!

Li Yan made a clear judgment and immediately stopped hesitating and said in a deep voice:

"Happy father-in-law, a commonplace topic will naturally not attract others' desire to read.

I have roughly judged the purpose behind them.

There is something that I need to trouble your people to do statistics on. "

"Ouch!

Don't be too troublesome to General Lee! "

Xiao Xizi exclaimed and said hurriedly:

"General Li, we are all on errands for the emperor.

If you have something to do, just give me your orders, so why not bother me?

It’s all our business! "

Li Yan smiled and casually pulled out Hua Zi buried in the pile of newspapers.

He took one out, threw it to Xiao Xizi, and lit it himself.

He blew out a puff of smoke and sneered:

"Eunuch Xi is right!

these people……

We worked together and found them all for him!

Please help me count the authors of this type of submissions...

Where are they from…what have they published before…

Then he found his previous article and stapled it to today's article.

When you're done, show it to me! "

After hearing Li Yan's words, Xiao Xizi extinguished the lit match.

He put a cigarette between his ears and immediately returned to his office with a large pile of submissions.

A group of eunuchs and eunuchs began to get busy.

Inside the Information Department.

Li Yan finished the cigarette in several puffs and slowly exhaled a stream of green smoke.

He put out the cigarette butt in the crystal-like glass ashtray.

I read the newspaper again.

As a master of public opinion, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle!

Li Yan decided not to go home tonight.

He worked all night long to sort out the government affairs as soon as possible and understand the emperor's overall thinking, so that he could prescribe the right medicine...

……

According to Zhu Youjian's system.

The Information Agency is an imperial department directly subordinate to the emperor.

Most of the people who work in the Information Agency are eunuchs from the inner study hall.

The group of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty is very interesting.

It is different from the narrow and generally indoctrinated perception of later generations that "the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are bad guys".

The more you study the history of the Ming Dynasty, the more you will find that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were at the top of the times in all walks of life!

It can be said that if the quality remains unchanged——

If there were no eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, they would die immediately.

If the Ming Dynasty lost its civil and military power, as long as the eunuchs remained in their original state, the Ming Dynasty would definitely continue to exist forever.

How influential were the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty?

Not to mention the ocean-going, shipbuilding, expedition, and scientific and technological eunuch teams in the early Ming Dynasty.

Just explain the end.

What is unbelievable is that, whether in Nanjing or Beijing, most of the people who controlled the printing industry were eunuchs.

Even as time went on, the monopoly of the eunuchs on the printing industry became more and more obvious.

After Wanli stopped going to court, in Beijing, whether it was publishing, bookstore sales, or printing...

Ninety percent of the paper-related industries were completely controlled by the eunuchs.

Of course, the premise for all this is the strong industrial capabilities of the Ming Dynasty.

What you absolutely won’t believe is——

During the Chenghua period, firecrackers had completely begun to be made from new paper.

What does this represent?

Paper production has reached its peak!

At the same time, printing technology also reached new heights.

Color printing is nothing!

Two-color, three-color, four-color, and even multi-layer color printing have reached their peak.

Let me show you a picture. This is a printing pattern in Ming Dynasty books. Is this printing? This is so hand-painted!

The above picture is from the printed version of Hu Zhengyan's "Shizhuzhai Calligraphy and Painting Manual" published in the 17th year of Chongzhen.

(What color is this in the counting picture?)

(You can download it on Baidu. This book is basically full of multi-color paintings).

The industrial capacity of the Ming Dynasty had been completely burned by the Qing Dynasty.

From reading between the lines of ancient books, I can only restore it bit by bit.

Promotion without capital...

This road is too difficult...

……

In these Ming Dynasty books, it has become common to copy the works drawn by the artist and print them in batches.

During the same period, the movable printing process was exported to North Korea (the set that Bangzi used to apply for UNESCO World Heritage).

Color printing was exported to Japan (still used in Japan today).

During the Wanli period, the Ming Dynasty had beautifully crafted greeting cards!

That’s the postcard I’m using today!

When officials take office or during the Chinese New Year, they receive countless greeting cards, which are exquisitely made and extremely luxurious.

How developed was the papermaking industry in the Ming Dynasty?

During the Wanli period, a native of Linxiang, Huguang, Shenbang, compiled "Miscellaneous Notes of Wanshu" when he served as the magistrate of Wanping County, Shuntian Prefecture.

(I don’t know how many copies of this book were printed, but all domestic copies were destroyed by the Qing court!

At present, only Japan retains the Ming Dynasty printing edition. )

According to statistics from his client:

During the Wanli period, nine taels of silver could buy eleven thousand "seven pieces of paper".

As for the "Tilian paper" used in the imperial examination, it was even as cheap as a piece of linen cloth, which could be exchanged for two thousand pieces.

This is the official high-quality paper used for writing!

This is Fuguo County in Beijing!

The most expensive place...

High-quality paper is so cheap?

According to this price——

Low-grade paper used by civilians must be cheaper!

In other words, the middle and late Ming Dynasty was actually an era when everyone could afford paper.

This is why the literacy rate in the Ming Dynasty was so exaggerated.

When did all this happen?

After Yingzong came to power again!

You know, during the Yongle period, the New Year firecrackers in Beijing were also made of old paper.

but!

In the Tianshun period after the restoration of Yingzong (Da Vinci was painting eggs during his childhood), an old eunuch was ordered to return to the palace from his hometown in Jiangxi.

When he saw the walls in Miyagi City being papered up, he shed tears of distress on the spot.

In other words, when Ming Yingzong came to power for the second time, he had already begun drastic reforms of the Ming Dynasty.

(Then, in just eight years, he died...)

Otherwise, there would be no such operation as papering the wall with new paper!

Otherwise, during the reign of Emperor Chenghua, the son of Ming Yingzong, firecrackers would not have been made entirely from new paper!

……

In fact, Western history has a flaw that cannot be avoided no matter what -

Lack of paper industry!

Don't look at their boasting...

Before the fall of the Ming Dynasty, there was no way to make fine paper in Europe!

That famous Italian paper—it’s just straw paper!

What is papyrus?

In the past, the fire paper burned on the graves - the kind that can still be seen on the straw stalks, is straw paper!

Not even bleaching technology!

Whatever color the straw is, the paper will be the same color!

Would you like to draw an egg on some paper?

try and die...

In other words - the "Leonardo Da Vinci painting eggs" that everyone knows is really painting eggs...

Egg, it can be an egg or "blank"...

Didn't there an interview that said:

"How much money have you made this year?"

"I made a fortune this year!"

……

Until the 18th century, French Finance Minister Turgot anxiously wrote to foreign missionaries in Beijing——

They are strongly urged to pay attention to learn Chinese papermaking technology!

Until then, only the Chinese could solve the problem of bleaching technology.

Chiang Youren, a French missionary who worked in the Qing court, drew pictures of Chinese papermaking and mailed it to the French government.

Only then did China's papermaking technology spread rapidly in the West, giving birth to the modern European papermaking industry.

How many years are you 17?

This guy served in the Qing court in 1747 (arrived in the 9th year of Qianlong's reign and became an official in the 12th year of Qianlong's reign). He died in Beijing in 1774 (the 39th year of Qianlong's reign).

During this period——

Oh……

Washington is almost starting to rebel against Britain...

……

That glorious and great Western technology!

Everything is for war.

As for the people using wooden plows to plow the fields...

You don’t know what you are doing, so don’t be ridiculous!

What is wood?

Isn’t that organic matter?

Increase production!

My father's technology will leave you nine streets behind!

……

How can I understand the greatness of Western fathers’ dog training skills...
