History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]
Chapter 50
Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch.The newspaper office here is starting to study new newspapers, while Minning, Zhenbeifu, is complaining endlessly.
She didn't understand that Long Live Lord wanted Fourth Master to make a charter about book revision, but why did this work end up in her hands?
Shaking his sour hand from writing, Minning put down the pencil, and the few sheets of paper in front of him were already filled with cursive handwriting.
If a literate person really came, she might not be able to see what she wrote. After all, for convenience, she wrote all in simplified characters. Although simplified characters exist in this era, there are several ways to write a character in simplified characters. In this era, it is called handwritten fonts, and printed fonts, that is, traditional Chinese characters, are completely two sets of fonts.
That is to say, a person must recognize two or more shapes to recognize a character, and they must be unified. How can they be promoted on a large scale if they are not unified.
Sighing, she thought that fortunately the pencil had appeared at this time, otherwise she might not be able to write a hundred characters in half a day if she was asked to write with a limp brush.
After sorting out the manuscript papers in order, Minning took out a few more blank sheets of paper and transcribed them in traditional characters.
After copying, line by line, although it is horizontal, it is from right to left.
After writing a few lines, it changed from left to right by accident. Minning picked up the bread and wiped it off, thinking hard in her heart that one day these books would become the typesetting method she was familiar with.This is from right to left in hell, if she is not afraid of changing all of a sudden, causing scholars to completely negate punctuation marks, she might even change the vertical columns of newspapers into horizontal columns.
Forget it, I can only boil the frog in warm water and change it a little bit. One day, she will make the simplified characters appear on the newspaper like the traditional characters, turn the vertical version into a horizontal version, and make the reading habit from left to right becomes right to left.
After fantasizing about this scene for a while, Minning smiled foolishly, and then resigned himself to copying it.
The fonts became regular, and the words on several manuscripts were condensed onto one piece of paper.
She put down her pen and read it again with satisfaction. The above suggestions were all she could think of. Minning was quite optimistic about the book repair.
There are many books in this world, but as long as they are standardized, it is quite easy to repair.
For example, Minning gave his opinion, and let the people participate in the revision of the book. If the revised manuscript is to be published, it has to go through a special department for review. Great Confucianism checks and forms a huge review team.
Divided into the first instance, the second instance and the final trial, which is more convenient than the court's own repair.
These great Confucian scholars don’t have to edit the books themselves, but they can send back the submitted manuscripts if there are any problems, so that the other party can correct them, so that the court does not need to do it themselves, which can save a lot of money and shorten the time.
Regarding the current situation where it takes several years or decades to complete a book, Minning has always wanted to complain, how many years and decades in life can be wasted, and things that can be won by manpower are only fixed for those people.
With a small number of people, it is difficult to find out the mistakes in the book. It is better to hand over this matter to the people, and let the people of the Imperial Academy and those great Confucian scholars specifically find the mistakes in the book.
The difficulties encountered in the process of compiling books can be published in newspapers and seek help from people all over the country. As the saying goes, the efforts of one person are not enough, but the efforts of many are often more than enough. She thinks that such a simple matter should be understood by those literati.
As for whether some people's books will overlap, and some people will carry private goods, it depends on the court. It is entirely possible to designate certain provinces to repair certain books, and strictly control the review process.
In this matter, the court only needs to grasp the general direction, leading the way like the front of a car, and there is no need to do everything personally.
After rewriting the manuscript, Minning put it in a box and called Xiao Luzi.
Xiao Luzi showed his face in front of Fourth Master several times recently, but made him run errands a few times, which probably gave Su Peisheng a sense of crisis, and pushed him back. Now he stays at ease in her yard and runs errands for her.
"Give this to Grandpa."
"Cha!" Xiao Luzi respectfully took it and held it in his arms.
Minning recalled that today seemed to be the day when the big brother got the pox, so he asked him, "Is the master at Fujin's place?"
Xiao Luzi nodded, and Minning said thoughtfully, "Then don't go to the master directly, take this box to the study outside, and find someone to talk to Su Peisheng later."
Xiao Luzi hurriedly responded.
In the main courtyard, Fujin was sitting on the kang with elder brother Honghui in his arms, pressing his head in his arms.
The little elder brother himself was quite calm. Although his body was tense, he still stretched out his arms bravely, but his head was buried tightly in the mother's arms, and he could still see that he was a little scared.
Doctor Ye took out a small knife, the blade was very thin, and the blade was smaller than the nail cap.He roasted it on the fire, and quickly cut a small wound on Honghui's arm, and a little blood came out.
He took out a sealed small bottle from the medical box, opened it, picked a little acne paste from it with a silver needle, and applied it to the wound.
The fourth master next to him patted Fujin on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't worry, all the servants in the mansion have been inoculated with acne by this method, no one has any accidents, and Hong Hui will be fine."
Fujin's tense nerves relaxed, and he returned to Fourth Master, "Master, I'm fine, I'm just a little worried."
Imperial Physician Ye said, "The little elder brother will feel a little unwell these days, which is normal, and it will be fine when the wound scabs over."
Fujin hurriedly asked, "Is it true that you won't get smallpox again?"
Imperial Physician Ye: "The lower officials once inoculated the prisoners who had been inoculated with vaccinia with smallpox pulp, and there was no re-infection. It has been proved that inoculation with vaccinia can prevent smallpox."
Fujin nodded, "Then I would like to thank Imperial Physician Ye for going to the house to vaccinate the children this time."
Imperial Physician Ye put the bottle of pox syrup and the knife back into the medical box, put the box on his back and said to the two of them, "I have to go to Prince Yu's mansion to vaccinate my little elder brother, so I will take my leave first."
Fujin held Honghui's hand to prevent him from touching the wound, while the fourth master said to Fujin, "Take care of Honghui first, and I will send Imperial Physician Ye off."
Imperial Physician Ye hastily declined, but Fujin said, "It's time to give it away, please trouble Imperial Physician Ye to come here this time."
Fourth Master led Imperial Doctor Ye to the outer hospital, and asked him how the vaccination of the common people was going.
"I'd also like to thank Lord Baylor for teaching the method. It is much faster and more convenient than the nose seedling method to make a cut first and then apply the acne paste. There are quite a few people in the capital who come to pick up acne, but those who go out of the city People in the countryside don’t believe in this method much anymore, and some even think that horns will grow after being planted with cowpox.” Imperial Physician Ye felt that this statement was ridiculous.
Fourth master understood, "The people have never read the book, so they will naturally have such absurd ideas. After a long time, those who have been vaccinated will have nothing, and the people will naturally believe in vaccinia."
Imperial Physician Ye sighed, "We have to wait for the common people to slowly accept it, and we don't know how many people will die from smallpox." Obviously it can be avoided, but because of these absurd ideas, many people have to suffer from smallpox.
Fourth master slowed down, and frowned, "I'll find a way to solve this matter. The issue of vaccinia is of great importance. We need to promote the vaccination of vaccinia in Daqing as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Ye immediately bowed to Fourth Master, "Then I will leave this matter to Lord Belle."
The fourth master quickly helped him up, and said with a serious face, "It's the benevolence of Imperial Physician Ye that Ben Baylor admires."
After seeing Imperial Doctor Ye off, Fourth Master went back to the backyard to see Hong Hui, saw that he had recovered to his usual normal, and did not bother him when he was eating milk.
He greeted Fujin, said he was going to deal with business, and left.
The fourth master didn't lie, he did have business to deal with, and tomorrow is the first big court after the new year. He handed over the task that Khan Ama gave him before, and he handed it over to An Gege. She should have been given two days There is an answer.
Just as he was about to go to the backyard, Su Peisheng came over to report, and the fourth master turned around and walked to the outer courtyard.
As soon as he walked to the outer study, a little eunuch presented a box, and Su Peisheng quickly took it.
Fourth Master took the box after entering the study.
It's just that he didn't open it first, but took out a piece of paper from the side, wrote a few lines on the paper, folded it up and handed it to Su Peisheng, "Take it to An Gege."
Su Peisheng took it respectfully, stuffed it into his sleeve, turned around and left the study.
Only then did fourth master open the box, and took out the folded paper inside. After opening it, he looked at what was written on the paper.
The brow furrowed first, and then relaxed again.
For someone like fourth master who had to do everything himself, he really couldn't let go of letting things go to others.
However, this proposal is not without benefits. The three parties, the Imperial Academy, the prince, and the folk scholars, can review together to avoid one party becoming bigger.And when there are many people, after the prestige is shared, each person will only share a little, so there will be no huge prestige gathered on one person.
Sure enough, An Gege always has some unexpected ideas, so the matter of promoting vaccinia can be resolved by handing it over to her.
After watching Su Peisheng leave, Minning opened the paper in his hand, and immediately slapped the table angrily.
He only solved the problem of repairing the book, why did he create another problem for her?Let her solve the difficulty of vaccination, how could she do it?
Speechlessly looking at the sky, Minning felt that Fourth Master was using her as an aide, throwing all difficulties at her?
Scratching his hair, Min Ning stared at the few lines on the paper, wishing that the writing on it would disappear immediately.
After cursing a few times, I finally had to accept my fate and find a way.
If we want to solve it, we have to start from the crux of the matter. Minning plans to use a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, he will mobilize newspapers to clarify people's misunderstandings about cowpox, and then make public the people who have been vaccinated, so that some people who have doubts can be allowed to ask.
When people are dubious about cowpox, they will use another ruthless trick to spread rumors that smallpox has appeared in a certain village near the capital, regardless of whether horns will grow. In order to survive, let alone cowpox, even sheeppox, pigpox, etc. People will also be scrambling to plant.
In the face of life and death, who cares about some ridiculous rumors.
When the matter is settled, the publicity will be repeated, saying that smallpox has stopped in a village that has been inoculated with vaccinia, which will surely trigger a new wave of vaccination.
Only in this way can the entire Qing Dynasty scramble to vaccinate.
So it's still the old saying, don't force the people to do something, but lure them with profit.
Taking out a piece of paper, Minning began to write the plan, and after finishing writing, he asked Xiao Luzi to go for another trip.
After the fourth master got the plan, he didn't make any revisions. He copied it again and prepared to present it to Han Ama tomorrow.
Because he had to go to court the next day, fourth master slept outside alone the night before, got up at three o'clock, got into the carriage and started to drive out of the city.
When they arrived at Deshengmen, the city gate had already opened, and they encountered several carriages on the road, who were also rushing out of the imperial city, and at a glance, they knew that they were going to Changchun Garden to pay their respects.I just don't know if it's one of his brothers or the minister of the court.
When they arrived at Changchun Garden, the carriage could no longer go in. After getting out of the carriage, it was still dark, and Fourth Master was led to the Grand Palace Gate.
There were already many people waiting inside, and the fourth master saw the eldest and third child whispering together, he raised his eyebrows, are these two going to join forces?
That's right, this time it's extensively cultivating the book of the world, the temptation is too great, if it is really done, it may even be called the master of the world.
No one can resist this huge temptation, and it is really possible for the boss and the third to join forces.
Unfortunately……
Fourth master touched the fold in his sleeve, he was destined to disappoint some people.
After waiting for more than an hour, when the sky was slightly bright, the eunuch came to announce that it was time to go to court.
The boss and the third child were the first to go out, followed by the fourth master, and then the cabinet ministers.
After entering the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Things, after standing still under the dragon chair, there was a sound of quiet whips outside, and the hall was silent. The emperor entered the hall, and the fourth master knelt down with others, "Long live my emperor age."
"Everyone loves you." The emperor sat down on the dragon chair.
Fourth Master stood up and saw the prince standing beside the dragon chair. Obviously, the prince entered the palace with the emperor.
"This time the great court mainly discusses the revision of the book. What regulations does the cabinet have?" The emperor asked Zhang Ying directly.
Zhang Ying, who was already in her sixtieth year, stood up from the head of civil servants, "Back to the emperor, the cabinet believes that this should be compiled by the Imperial Academy, so the prince can cooperate." Zhang Ying is about to retire, and he is not willing to join in The battle between the princes, so to speak, is just that no one wants to offend.
He himself had nothing to do, and he was about to retreat anyway, but he couldn't ignore his son, and the second son had just entered the South Study Room.
Both the crown prince and the eldest prince and the third prince were not satisfied with this answer, so if they asked the Imperial Academy to compose it, then what else would they do?Even if it is mixed in, at most it is just a cutscene plating gold, without any substantial benefit.
The prince said to the emperor on the spot, "Khan Ama, the matter of compiling the book is very important. It is difficult for the Hanlin Academy to take on this important task without a leader. My minister would like to ask to be the leader."
The eldest prince also stood up, "Ama Khan, the crown prince is busy on weekdays, so he may not be able to take care of this matter. Let the son do it, and the son is willing to preside over the revision of the book with the third son."
Among the princes who came to the court this time, only the princes who have been conferred titles, the younger brothers from the ninth elder brother are not eligible to come to the court.
Babeile came out to support the eldest prince, "Ama Khan, the eldest brother is good at martial arts, and the third brother is good at literature, the two of them have two swords, and they will definitely be able to handle this matter well." He supported the adoptive mother's son as usual.
Fifth elder brother and seventh elder brother watched from the sidelines, while fourth master also stayed out of the matter.
The prince was besieged by the three brothers all at once, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly gave the fourth brother a wink. In the eyes of the prince, the fourth brother who had always supported him belonged to the princeling party, so he asked the fourth brother to rescue him.
The emperor also wanted to know the answer of the fourth son. After all, the emperor knew that the set of punctuation marks was made by him.
"Yinzhen, I asked you to make a charter before, how are you preparing?"
The fourth master stood up, knelt down on one knee, held a booklet in his hand and raised it to the height of his eyebrows, and then said in a deep voice: "What Huihan Ama said, my son's only shallow opinions have been written in this booklet .”
"Oh?" The emperor became interested, "Submit it quickly."
There was a step down from the eunuch beside him, he took the folder in the fourth master's hand with both hands, returned to the dragon chair and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor took it and opened it. Although he looked at it seriously, he didn't show any expression on his face.
The third prince on the side felt a little heartbroken, and suddenly remembered who was the first to mention repairing the book, wasn't it the one from the fourth family?
Then he comforted himself, she was just a woman, so what could she do, the mention of book repair must have been just a flash of inspiration.
After reading the booklet, the emperor glanced at the fourth child below. At first glance, the book did not look like the style of the fourth child. It contained a businessman's atmosphere that could not be concealed. Don't think about it, he knows who made it Idea, it seems that the fourth child quite trusts his princess.
However, the emperor had no choice but to praise this method. There was indeed a shortage of money in the national treasury. As soon as this idea came out, it saved a lot of money and won the hearts of scholars all over the world. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
The emperor handed the notebook back to the eunuch next to him, "Send it to the scholar of the Wenhua Palace." Then he said to Zhang Ying, "Zhang Aiqing, you can also take a look at the fourth son's notebook."
After Zhang Ying took the booklet from the eunuch, she took out her glasses with trembling hands, and opened them to read.
Probably because he was getting older, he was much slower to read the excerpts. The emperor took a few minutes to read them, and Zhang Ying took a full 10 minutes to read them.
After reading it, he sighed, "I'm getting old, but I didn't come up with such a good idea. I really owe the emperor's grace. The fourth prince is extremely intelligent, and this idea is a great one!"
The emperor smiled and said, "Zhang Aiqing is my minister, so don't be humble. The fourth child is just a bit impatient, so I don't allow you to praise her like that."
Then he said: "Then, according to what the old four books said, the Imperial Academy, the prince, the eldest son, the third son, the fourth son, the fifth son, the seventh son, and the eighth son will jointly preside over the matter of reviewing the book. Invite great Confucians from the people to participate in the final trial, and pass on the order to the world, but the people can edit the book by themselves, and the book can only be published after it has been reviewed and finalized by the court." The emperor stuffed several sons with titles in one breath.
The prince knelt down to receive the order with the other princes, and only then did he know what the fourth son said in the booklet. After a long time, a big pie became everyone's share.
The third prince was a little dazed, why did so many people get involved in the matter that he clearly proposed?Then he thought about the newspaper, and immediately stopped hesitating. He had to finish this matter when he went back, and he couldn't let others take the lead.
After coming down to court, Fourth Master originally wanted to leave with the others, but there was one more thing that he had to report to Han Ama privately, so he turned around and went to the nearby Tanning House.
Unexpectedly, the prince is also here, the fourth master greets the emperor and the prince.
The prince smiled and asked him, "Fourth brother, why are you looking for Khan Ama?"
Only then did the fourth master reply: "If you go back to the prince, my brother is here because of the cowpox."
The emperor, who was drinking tea, held a cup and said, "Vaccinia? What's the matter with vaccinia?"
The fourth master immediately said: "Yesterday, my son's elder brother vaccinated the pox and invited Imperial Physician Ye. My son learned from Ye imperial physician that there was a stalemate in the vaccination of vaccinia. The people outside the city were afraid of vaccinia. Cowpox grows horns."
"Nonsense!" The emperor snorted, and then asked the prince beside him, "Yinfeng, what can you do to relieve the people's jealousy?"
Seeing that the emperor was testing the crown prince, fourth master consciously stepped aside.
"Khan Ama, and my son thinks that this matter can be guided by the situation."
The emperor was noncommittal and motioned him to continue.
"What the people are afraid of is that they don't understand the unknown. You can order officials from all over the place to go down to explain to the people. Or set an example and vaccinate the people to relieve the people's fear."
Seeing that the emperor didn't express anything, the prince continued nervously, "The number of people vaccinated can also be used as an assessment of the performance of local officials."
The emperor nodded, "The prince's idea is very good, but think about it after you go back, and see if there is any room for improvement."
After dismissing the prince with a few words, the emperor looked at the fourth son again.
"Come on, you mentioned this, but there is already a good solution?"
The fourth master hurriedly said respectfully: "Responding to Ama's words, someone under my son's subordinates gave him some advice."
As he spoke, he took out another booklet and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor opened it to take a look, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It seems that you have a lot of trust in this 'doorman', presumably the previous booklet has given you some advice."
Both incidents had something to do with newspapers, and it was obvious that they were written by the same person.After all, the newspaper is a new thing, and few people think of achieving their goals through it. This is the inertia of thinking. Just like the prince, he never thought of starting from things he was not familiar with.If there is no such book, the emperor will probably agree to the prince's method.
The reason why the prince was allowed to leave first was that the emperor had expected that the fourth son must have a solution to avoid the prince's embarrassment, so he let him avoid it first.
The fourth master looked a little embarrassed, "As Huihan Ama said, the previous book was indeed not made by his son."
The emperor said indifferently: "The opinions raised by your disciples are naturally yours. I am quite happy that you can know people and use them well, and you can use talents without sticking to one pattern. The world does not suffer from lack of talent, but from the useless way. You have done a good job in selecting talents from people, selecting virtues from people, and selecting talents regardless of status."
"Son, thank you Khan Amma for teaching."
The emperor put the booklet on the table, "Okay, I will order someone to do it." Spreading rumors about smallpox was originally a felony to disturb the hearts of the people, and the fourth master could not do this, so he handed it over to the emperor.
On this day, Zhang Shaoyang received a submission, which passed the review directly after reviewing it.
That's right, he carried private goods like this, and the purpose of opening this newspaper was to have a window to guide public opinion.
On weekdays, the newspaper office is allowed to operate on its own. If there is a task from above, it still has to be reported first.
"Feng Xiang, please come here." Zhang Shaoyang opened the door and called out.
Not only Feng Xiang, but also other editors and writers were walking around in the yard at random, but if you look closely, you can find that they express themselves from time to time as they walk around.
This matter has to start with the newspaper office being divided into two halves. Since the newspaper office was divided into two halves, the other half of the newspaper office has been planned as the site of "Yan Pao".
Although it still belongs to a newspaper office in name, it actually has another outlet.
It was nothing at first, but then the editor-in-chief of "Yanbao" named Changhui found a group of women from somewhere, each of whom had a unique temperament, not to mention dignified and beautiful, but they were also Xiaojiabiyu, who could be seen They are all ladies from famous families when they come out, and there are carriages to pick them up when they go in and out, and they don't give outsiders the opportunity to contact them at all.
And this group of women doesn't need to go to the news, they can write the manuscript of the newspaper by themselves, and every afternoon is the time for these people to drink tea and eat snacks.A group of warblers and swallows in the garden naturally attract a group of bachelors next door who are ready to move, so at this time, as long as they are interested, they will go to the yard and unceremoniously display their masculine charm.
Although Feng Xiang is unwilling to go back to his hometown to get married, it doesn't mean he won't have a spring heart, and he will naturally go around the yard a few times to show himself intentionally or unintentionally.
"Daily" probably only Zhang Shaoyang and Zhang Tinglu were indifferent. Firstly, both of them already had families, and secondly, both of them knew that the identities of the women in front of them were extraordinary, so naturally they could not be disturbed.
Feng Xiang was called out, and there were a few sneers from the next door. He blushed and covered half of his face and entered the editing room.
"Brother Zhang, what do you want from me?"
"Will you take a look at this manuscript?" Zhang Shaoyang pushed the manuscript in his hand to him.
Only then did Feng Xiang regain his composure, and read it silently, "This is an article about the process of vaccination with vaccinia. It doesn't look like anything special."
But Zhang Shaoyang said: "This will be reported tomorrow."
People in the capital city of vaccinia have basically accepted it. Feng Xiang has become accustomed to this matter, so he doesn't know what good news about vaccinia.
"Brother Zhang, this isn't newsworthy, is it?"
The word "news value" was originally learned in the "Beijing Morning Post". A report must be valuable before people will read it.
Zhang Shaoyang leaned on the back of his chair and said lazily, "I received a message. It is said that there are rumors in many villages not far from the capital that vaccinia will grow horns, and many people refuse to vaccinate." He was in charge for a while. Zhang Shaoyang's whole life has changed a lot. If he goes back to the past, he probably won't be so impulsive and directly expose the cheating in the rural examination.
"How can such a thing happen? Some people believe such words?" Feng Xiang felt a little unbelievable, this is obviously nonsense, but some people believed it.
"Three people make a tiger, and one word makes money. If there are too many people who say it, even if the people don't believe it at first, they will believe it in the end."
The power of gossip, don't they those who make newspapers know?
Zhang Shaoyang said again: "So this matter needs to be clarified by our newspaper, and these few issues of the newspaper will report on this matter."
Feng Xiang nodded immediately, "Of course, I am obliged to do so. Brother Zhang, what do you think should be done?"
Zhang Shaoyang crossed his fingers on the table, pondered for a moment before speaking: "Then write according to this manuscript first, and track the process of vaccination and the situation of the parties afterward. Be sure to emphasize that after vaccination, it is no different from ordinary people. Then Send some people to the countryside for interviews. People in the city may not know what the people in the country think. Presumably, after writing these interviews, people in the capital will discuss them. Whose family does not have three or five relatives in the country? In the end, it is certain. It will spread to every Zhuangzi village. At the very least, people in the countryside must know that it is not credible that vaccination will grow horns."
Feng Xiang said solemnly: "Okay, leave this matter to me."
Similarly, not only the "Daily", but also the "Morning News" received the same order. These several issues of the newspaper have reported on the cowpox incident.
Other newspapers, keenly aware that this probably has the meaning of the imperial court, followed the same example, and began to report.
In short, I don’t know any newspaper in the capital, but they more or less started to report on vaccinia, and soon the rumor that the vaccinator in the country would grow horns became known to people in the city.
Many people also deliberately went to the countryside to ask their relatives if there was such a thing, making the relatives in the countryside feel ashamed and thrown into the city.
Some people took their families and took the initiative to go to the government to set up vaccinations, but most of them were still waiting and watching.
About half a month later, the imperial court began to be vigilant, and a rumor spread from the surrounding area. It was said that smallpox broke out suddenly in a village in the south, and it was spreading to the capital.
This caused panic among countless people, regardless of whether the cowpox would grow horns or not, they rushed to get the vaccination first like reincarnation.
Fortunately, the court soon came to refute the rumors, saying that smallpox had not spread, because smallpox stopped when it reached a certain Zhuangzi.
The imperial court did not explain, and the people rushed to inquire. Later, gossip came out, saying that the Zhuangzi belonged to a certain prince, and when the cowpox first came out, he ordered the people in his Zhuangzi to inoculate it.
Originally, those people were only intimidated by the orders from above, so they were inoculated with cowpox unwillingly, but they didn't expect to suddenly save their lives.
Later, the name of this Zhuangzi was also exposed, and many people went to inquire about it, but they did not expect such a thing to happen.
This time, the common people don't care whether the cowpox will grow horns or not, they will save their own lives first.
Smallpox is really terrible. Does it have horns?That's not my own race. If everyone grows horns, no one should laugh at anyone else.
Later, it even turned into a situation where neighbors and folks reported whoever hadn’t been vaccinated, and then they were forced to vaccinate by the villagers’ elders. The vigorous vaccination went on for several years. Later, it was found that there was no change in life, and people calmed down, even children. Get vaccinated spontaneously as soon as you reach age.
The river works on the Yongding River have been repaired for several years, and this year it was finally completed before the flood season.
As soon as Minning handed over the "Beijing Morning Post" to the imperial court, he received the news that the fourth master would follow the emperor to inspect the river engineering.
This time, not far from Beijing, the well-informed newspapers in the capital have already dispatched additional manpower to rush there ahead of time, preparing to report a series of complete itineraries.
This kind of thing that can focus on publicizing the emperor's achievements, the court naturally readily agreed, allowing specific newspapers to follow.
As an established newspaper, "Beijing Daily" is also among them.
"This time, everyone wants to have a good start. Don't let the "Beijing Morning Post" steal the limelight. Although our newspaper is a little later than the "Beijing Morning Post", don't forget, we are the last Those who start to enter this line of work must let them know that those nerds from the Imperial Academy can’t handle newspapers.” Before leaving, Zhang Shaoyang encouraged his subordinates as usual.
They already knew that the "Beijing Morning Post" was taken over by the Hanlin Academy, and many officials from the Imperial Academy had already entered it one after another.
So this time, it is not only a battle between old newspapers and new newspapers, but also a battle between private and official newspapers.
"So let's teach them how to make a newspaper!" Zhang Shaoyang roared.
The people below immediately responded excitedly, "Teach them! Teach them!"
There is no scholar who is not excited to play against those top picks in the past.
The night before leaving, Fourth Master rested in Minning's yard. After the hearty love affair that night, Fourth Master touched her belly, a little puzzled, "Why haven't you conceived yet?"
According to the instructions, her body has been recuperated a long time ago, but it has been half a year and there is no news.
Minning was still immersed in the aftermath, when Fourth Master touched her stomach, she shivered violently.
"Grandpa..." After each time, her voice would become charming.
Fourth Master hugged her in his arms, and didn't dislike her sweat, and said to her, "Should I call Dr. Ye back, without her by your side, my heart is always a little shaky."
As soon as Minning thought that Doctor Ye would have to drink all kinds of tonics again when she came back, she felt a headache, nestled in Fourth Master's arms, and said coquettishly, "Master, Doctor Ye is busy with big things, so I don't need to bother with this little thing." her."
The fourth master stared into her eyes and said, "It is a big deal to give birth to a son, not to mention that the vaccination issue has been resolved, and Imperial Physician Ye has also trained a lot of folk doctors. There is no need for Doctor Ye's daughter to follow her. It is time to transfer her back."
Minning's face wrinkled, did she trick herself?If you don't help with ideas, the vaccination will not go so smoothly, and Dr. Ye will definitely not be transferred back so soon.
"Okay, don't think about it anymore, how to give birth to a son." Fourth master turned her over, pushed her legs away, and lay on top of her again.
Before being pulled into the sea of desire, a thought flashed through Minning's mind, what if she gave birth to a daughter?
She didn't understand that Long Live Lord wanted Fourth Master to make a charter about book revision, but why did this work end up in her hands?
Shaking his sour hand from writing, Minning put down the pencil, and the few sheets of paper in front of him were already filled with cursive handwriting.
If a literate person really came, she might not be able to see what she wrote. After all, for convenience, she wrote all in simplified characters. Although simplified characters exist in this era, there are several ways to write a character in simplified characters. In this era, it is called handwritten fonts, and printed fonts, that is, traditional Chinese characters, are completely two sets of fonts.
That is to say, a person must recognize two or more shapes to recognize a character, and they must be unified. How can they be promoted on a large scale if they are not unified.
Sighing, she thought that fortunately the pencil had appeared at this time, otherwise she might not be able to write a hundred characters in half a day if she was asked to write with a limp brush.
After sorting out the manuscript papers in order, Minning took out a few more blank sheets of paper and transcribed them in traditional characters.
After copying, line by line, although it is horizontal, it is from right to left.
After writing a few lines, it changed from left to right by accident. Minning picked up the bread and wiped it off, thinking hard in her heart that one day these books would become the typesetting method she was familiar with.This is from right to left in hell, if she is not afraid of changing all of a sudden, causing scholars to completely negate punctuation marks, she might even change the vertical columns of newspapers into horizontal columns.
Forget it, I can only boil the frog in warm water and change it a little bit. One day, she will make the simplified characters appear on the newspaper like the traditional characters, turn the vertical version into a horizontal version, and make the reading habit from left to right becomes right to left.
After fantasizing about this scene for a while, Minning smiled foolishly, and then resigned himself to copying it.
The fonts became regular, and the words on several manuscripts were condensed onto one piece of paper.
She put down her pen and read it again with satisfaction. The above suggestions were all she could think of. Minning was quite optimistic about the book repair.
There are many books in this world, but as long as they are standardized, it is quite easy to repair.
For example, Minning gave his opinion, and let the people participate in the revision of the book. If the revised manuscript is to be published, it has to go through a special department for review. Great Confucianism checks and forms a huge review team.
Divided into the first instance, the second instance and the final trial, which is more convenient than the court's own repair.
These great Confucian scholars don’t have to edit the books themselves, but they can send back the submitted manuscripts if there are any problems, so that the other party can correct them, so that the court does not need to do it themselves, which can save a lot of money and shorten the time.
Regarding the current situation where it takes several years or decades to complete a book, Minning has always wanted to complain, how many years and decades in life can be wasted, and things that can be won by manpower are only fixed for those people.
With a small number of people, it is difficult to find out the mistakes in the book. It is better to hand over this matter to the people, and let the people of the Imperial Academy and those great Confucian scholars specifically find the mistakes in the book.
The difficulties encountered in the process of compiling books can be published in newspapers and seek help from people all over the country. As the saying goes, the efforts of one person are not enough, but the efforts of many are often more than enough. She thinks that such a simple matter should be understood by those literati.
As for whether some people's books will overlap, and some people will carry private goods, it depends on the court. It is entirely possible to designate certain provinces to repair certain books, and strictly control the review process.
In this matter, the court only needs to grasp the general direction, leading the way like the front of a car, and there is no need to do everything personally.
After rewriting the manuscript, Minning put it in a box and called Xiao Luzi.
Xiao Luzi showed his face in front of Fourth Master several times recently, but made him run errands a few times, which probably gave Su Peisheng a sense of crisis, and pushed him back. Now he stays at ease in her yard and runs errands for her.
"Give this to Grandpa."
"Cha!" Xiao Luzi respectfully took it and held it in his arms.
Minning recalled that today seemed to be the day when the big brother got the pox, so he asked him, "Is the master at Fujin's place?"
Xiao Luzi nodded, and Minning said thoughtfully, "Then don't go to the master directly, take this box to the study outside, and find someone to talk to Su Peisheng later."
Xiao Luzi hurriedly responded.
In the main courtyard, Fujin was sitting on the kang with elder brother Honghui in his arms, pressing his head in his arms.
The little elder brother himself was quite calm. Although his body was tense, he still stretched out his arms bravely, but his head was buried tightly in the mother's arms, and he could still see that he was a little scared.
Doctor Ye took out a small knife, the blade was very thin, and the blade was smaller than the nail cap.He roasted it on the fire, and quickly cut a small wound on Honghui's arm, and a little blood came out.
He took out a sealed small bottle from the medical box, opened it, picked a little acne paste from it with a silver needle, and applied it to the wound.
The fourth master next to him patted Fujin on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't worry, all the servants in the mansion have been inoculated with acne by this method, no one has any accidents, and Hong Hui will be fine."
Fujin's tense nerves relaxed, and he returned to Fourth Master, "Master, I'm fine, I'm just a little worried."
Imperial Physician Ye said, "The little elder brother will feel a little unwell these days, which is normal, and it will be fine when the wound scabs over."
Fujin hurriedly asked, "Is it true that you won't get smallpox again?"
Imperial Physician Ye: "The lower officials once inoculated the prisoners who had been inoculated with vaccinia with smallpox pulp, and there was no re-infection. It has been proved that inoculation with vaccinia can prevent smallpox."
Fujin nodded, "Then I would like to thank Imperial Physician Ye for going to the house to vaccinate the children this time."
Imperial Physician Ye put the bottle of pox syrup and the knife back into the medical box, put the box on his back and said to the two of them, "I have to go to Prince Yu's mansion to vaccinate my little elder brother, so I will take my leave first."
Fujin held Honghui's hand to prevent him from touching the wound, while the fourth master said to Fujin, "Take care of Honghui first, and I will send Imperial Physician Ye off."
Imperial Physician Ye hastily declined, but Fujin said, "It's time to give it away, please trouble Imperial Physician Ye to come here this time."
Fourth Master led Imperial Doctor Ye to the outer hospital, and asked him how the vaccination of the common people was going.
"I'd also like to thank Lord Baylor for teaching the method. It is much faster and more convenient than the nose seedling method to make a cut first and then apply the acne paste. There are quite a few people in the capital who come to pick up acne, but those who go out of the city People in the countryside don’t believe in this method much anymore, and some even think that horns will grow after being planted with cowpox.” Imperial Physician Ye felt that this statement was ridiculous.
Fourth master understood, "The people have never read the book, so they will naturally have such absurd ideas. After a long time, those who have been vaccinated will have nothing, and the people will naturally believe in vaccinia."
Imperial Physician Ye sighed, "We have to wait for the common people to slowly accept it, and we don't know how many people will die from smallpox." Obviously it can be avoided, but because of these absurd ideas, many people have to suffer from smallpox.
Fourth master slowed down, and frowned, "I'll find a way to solve this matter. The issue of vaccinia is of great importance. We need to promote the vaccination of vaccinia in Daqing as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Ye immediately bowed to Fourth Master, "Then I will leave this matter to Lord Belle."
The fourth master quickly helped him up, and said with a serious face, "It's the benevolence of Imperial Physician Ye that Ben Baylor admires."
After seeing Imperial Doctor Ye off, Fourth Master went back to the backyard to see Hong Hui, saw that he had recovered to his usual normal, and did not bother him when he was eating milk.
He greeted Fujin, said he was going to deal with business, and left.
The fourth master didn't lie, he did have business to deal with, and tomorrow is the first big court after the new year. He handed over the task that Khan Ama gave him before, and he handed it over to An Gege. She should have been given two days There is an answer.
Just as he was about to go to the backyard, Su Peisheng came over to report, and the fourth master turned around and walked to the outer courtyard.
As soon as he walked to the outer study, a little eunuch presented a box, and Su Peisheng quickly took it.
Fourth Master took the box after entering the study.
It's just that he didn't open it first, but took out a piece of paper from the side, wrote a few lines on the paper, folded it up and handed it to Su Peisheng, "Take it to An Gege."
Su Peisheng took it respectfully, stuffed it into his sleeve, turned around and left the study.
Only then did fourth master open the box, and took out the folded paper inside. After opening it, he looked at what was written on the paper.
The brow furrowed first, and then relaxed again.
For someone like fourth master who had to do everything himself, he really couldn't let go of letting things go to others.
However, this proposal is not without benefits. The three parties, the Imperial Academy, the prince, and the folk scholars, can review together to avoid one party becoming bigger.And when there are many people, after the prestige is shared, each person will only share a little, so there will be no huge prestige gathered on one person.
Sure enough, An Gege always has some unexpected ideas, so the matter of promoting vaccinia can be resolved by handing it over to her.
After watching Su Peisheng leave, Minning opened the paper in his hand, and immediately slapped the table angrily.
He only solved the problem of repairing the book, why did he create another problem for her?Let her solve the difficulty of vaccination, how could she do it?
Speechlessly looking at the sky, Minning felt that Fourth Master was using her as an aide, throwing all difficulties at her?
Scratching his hair, Min Ning stared at the few lines on the paper, wishing that the writing on it would disappear immediately.
After cursing a few times, I finally had to accept my fate and find a way.
If we want to solve it, we have to start from the crux of the matter. Minning plans to use a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, he will mobilize newspapers to clarify people's misunderstandings about cowpox, and then make public the people who have been vaccinated, so that some people who have doubts can be allowed to ask.
When people are dubious about cowpox, they will use another ruthless trick to spread rumors that smallpox has appeared in a certain village near the capital, regardless of whether horns will grow. In order to survive, let alone cowpox, even sheeppox, pigpox, etc. People will also be scrambling to plant.
In the face of life and death, who cares about some ridiculous rumors.
When the matter is settled, the publicity will be repeated, saying that smallpox has stopped in a village that has been inoculated with vaccinia, which will surely trigger a new wave of vaccination.
Only in this way can the entire Qing Dynasty scramble to vaccinate.
So it's still the old saying, don't force the people to do something, but lure them with profit.
Taking out a piece of paper, Minning began to write the plan, and after finishing writing, he asked Xiao Luzi to go for another trip.
After the fourth master got the plan, he didn't make any revisions. He copied it again and prepared to present it to Han Ama tomorrow.
Because he had to go to court the next day, fourth master slept outside alone the night before, got up at three o'clock, got into the carriage and started to drive out of the city.
When they arrived at Deshengmen, the city gate had already opened, and they encountered several carriages on the road, who were also rushing out of the imperial city, and at a glance, they knew that they were going to Changchun Garden to pay their respects.I just don't know if it's one of his brothers or the minister of the court.
When they arrived at Changchun Garden, the carriage could no longer go in. After getting out of the carriage, it was still dark, and Fourth Master was led to the Grand Palace Gate.
There were already many people waiting inside, and the fourth master saw the eldest and third child whispering together, he raised his eyebrows, are these two going to join forces?
That's right, this time it's extensively cultivating the book of the world, the temptation is too great, if it is really done, it may even be called the master of the world.
No one can resist this huge temptation, and it is really possible for the boss and the third to join forces.
Unfortunately……
Fourth master touched the fold in his sleeve, he was destined to disappoint some people.
After waiting for more than an hour, when the sky was slightly bright, the eunuch came to announce that it was time to go to court.
The boss and the third child were the first to go out, followed by the fourth master, and then the cabinet ministers.
After entering the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Things, after standing still under the dragon chair, there was a sound of quiet whips outside, and the hall was silent. The emperor entered the hall, and the fourth master knelt down with others, "Long live my emperor age."
"Everyone loves you." The emperor sat down on the dragon chair.
Fourth Master stood up and saw the prince standing beside the dragon chair. Obviously, the prince entered the palace with the emperor.
"This time the great court mainly discusses the revision of the book. What regulations does the cabinet have?" The emperor asked Zhang Ying directly.
Zhang Ying, who was already in her sixtieth year, stood up from the head of civil servants, "Back to the emperor, the cabinet believes that this should be compiled by the Imperial Academy, so the prince can cooperate." Zhang Ying is about to retire, and he is not willing to join in The battle between the princes, so to speak, is just that no one wants to offend.
He himself had nothing to do, and he was about to retreat anyway, but he couldn't ignore his son, and the second son had just entered the South Study Room.
Both the crown prince and the eldest prince and the third prince were not satisfied with this answer, so if they asked the Imperial Academy to compose it, then what else would they do?Even if it is mixed in, at most it is just a cutscene plating gold, without any substantial benefit.
The prince said to the emperor on the spot, "Khan Ama, the matter of compiling the book is very important. It is difficult for the Hanlin Academy to take on this important task without a leader. My minister would like to ask to be the leader."
The eldest prince also stood up, "Ama Khan, the crown prince is busy on weekdays, so he may not be able to take care of this matter. Let the son do it, and the son is willing to preside over the revision of the book with the third son."
Among the princes who came to the court this time, only the princes who have been conferred titles, the younger brothers from the ninth elder brother are not eligible to come to the court.
Babeile came out to support the eldest prince, "Ama Khan, the eldest brother is good at martial arts, and the third brother is good at literature, the two of them have two swords, and they will definitely be able to handle this matter well." He supported the adoptive mother's son as usual.
Fifth elder brother and seventh elder brother watched from the sidelines, while fourth master also stayed out of the matter.
The prince was besieged by the three brothers all at once, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly gave the fourth brother a wink. In the eyes of the prince, the fourth brother who had always supported him belonged to the princeling party, so he asked the fourth brother to rescue him.
The emperor also wanted to know the answer of the fourth son. After all, the emperor knew that the set of punctuation marks was made by him.
"Yinzhen, I asked you to make a charter before, how are you preparing?"
The fourth master stood up, knelt down on one knee, held a booklet in his hand and raised it to the height of his eyebrows, and then said in a deep voice: "What Huihan Ama said, my son's only shallow opinions have been written in this booklet .”
"Oh?" The emperor became interested, "Submit it quickly."
There was a step down from the eunuch beside him, he took the folder in the fourth master's hand with both hands, returned to the dragon chair and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor took it and opened it. Although he looked at it seriously, he didn't show any expression on his face.
The third prince on the side felt a little heartbroken, and suddenly remembered who was the first to mention repairing the book, wasn't it the one from the fourth family?
Then he comforted himself, she was just a woman, so what could she do, the mention of book repair must have been just a flash of inspiration.
After reading the booklet, the emperor glanced at the fourth child below. At first glance, the book did not look like the style of the fourth child. It contained a businessman's atmosphere that could not be concealed. Don't think about it, he knows who made it Idea, it seems that the fourth child quite trusts his princess.
However, the emperor had no choice but to praise this method. There was indeed a shortage of money in the national treasury. As soon as this idea came out, it saved a lot of money and won the hearts of scholars all over the world. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
The emperor handed the notebook back to the eunuch next to him, "Send it to the scholar of the Wenhua Palace." Then he said to Zhang Ying, "Zhang Aiqing, you can also take a look at the fourth son's notebook."
After Zhang Ying took the booklet from the eunuch, she took out her glasses with trembling hands, and opened them to read.
Probably because he was getting older, he was much slower to read the excerpts. The emperor took a few minutes to read them, and Zhang Ying took a full 10 minutes to read them.
After reading it, he sighed, "I'm getting old, but I didn't come up with such a good idea. I really owe the emperor's grace. The fourth prince is extremely intelligent, and this idea is a great one!"
The emperor smiled and said, "Zhang Aiqing is my minister, so don't be humble. The fourth child is just a bit impatient, so I don't allow you to praise her like that."
Then he said: "Then, according to what the old four books said, the Imperial Academy, the prince, the eldest son, the third son, the fourth son, the fifth son, the seventh son, and the eighth son will jointly preside over the matter of reviewing the book. Invite great Confucians from the people to participate in the final trial, and pass on the order to the world, but the people can edit the book by themselves, and the book can only be published after it has been reviewed and finalized by the court." The emperor stuffed several sons with titles in one breath.
The prince knelt down to receive the order with the other princes, and only then did he know what the fourth son said in the booklet. After a long time, a big pie became everyone's share.
The third prince was a little dazed, why did so many people get involved in the matter that he clearly proposed?Then he thought about the newspaper, and immediately stopped hesitating. He had to finish this matter when he went back, and he couldn't let others take the lead.
After coming down to court, Fourth Master originally wanted to leave with the others, but there was one more thing that he had to report to Han Ama privately, so he turned around and went to the nearby Tanning House.
Unexpectedly, the prince is also here, the fourth master greets the emperor and the prince.
The prince smiled and asked him, "Fourth brother, why are you looking for Khan Ama?"
Only then did the fourth master reply: "If you go back to the prince, my brother is here because of the cowpox."
The emperor, who was drinking tea, held a cup and said, "Vaccinia? What's the matter with vaccinia?"
The fourth master immediately said: "Yesterday, my son's elder brother vaccinated the pox and invited Imperial Physician Ye. My son learned from Ye imperial physician that there was a stalemate in the vaccination of vaccinia. The people outside the city were afraid of vaccinia. Cowpox grows horns."
"Nonsense!" The emperor snorted, and then asked the prince beside him, "Yinfeng, what can you do to relieve the people's jealousy?"
Seeing that the emperor was testing the crown prince, fourth master consciously stepped aside.
"Khan Ama, and my son thinks that this matter can be guided by the situation."
The emperor was noncommittal and motioned him to continue.
"What the people are afraid of is that they don't understand the unknown. You can order officials from all over the place to go down to explain to the people. Or set an example and vaccinate the people to relieve the people's fear."
Seeing that the emperor didn't express anything, the prince continued nervously, "The number of people vaccinated can also be used as an assessment of the performance of local officials."
The emperor nodded, "The prince's idea is very good, but think about it after you go back, and see if there is any room for improvement."
After dismissing the prince with a few words, the emperor looked at the fourth son again.
"Come on, you mentioned this, but there is already a good solution?"
The fourth master hurriedly said respectfully: "Responding to Ama's words, someone under my son's subordinates gave him some advice."
As he spoke, he took out another booklet and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor opened it to take a look, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It seems that you have a lot of trust in this 'doorman', presumably the previous booklet has given you some advice."
Both incidents had something to do with newspapers, and it was obvious that they were written by the same person.After all, the newspaper is a new thing, and few people think of achieving their goals through it. This is the inertia of thinking. Just like the prince, he never thought of starting from things he was not familiar with.If there is no such book, the emperor will probably agree to the prince's method.
The reason why the prince was allowed to leave first was that the emperor had expected that the fourth son must have a solution to avoid the prince's embarrassment, so he let him avoid it first.
The fourth master looked a little embarrassed, "As Huihan Ama said, the previous book was indeed not made by his son."
The emperor said indifferently: "The opinions raised by your disciples are naturally yours. I am quite happy that you can know people and use them well, and you can use talents without sticking to one pattern. The world does not suffer from lack of talent, but from the useless way. You have done a good job in selecting talents from people, selecting virtues from people, and selecting talents regardless of status."
"Son, thank you Khan Amma for teaching."
The emperor put the booklet on the table, "Okay, I will order someone to do it." Spreading rumors about smallpox was originally a felony to disturb the hearts of the people, and the fourth master could not do this, so he handed it over to the emperor.
On this day, Zhang Shaoyang received a submission, which passed the review directly after reviewing it.
That's right, he carried private goods like this, and the purpose of opening this newspaper was to have a window to guide public opinion.
On weekdays, the newspaper office is allowed to operate on its own. If there is a task from above, it still has to be reported first.
"Feng Xiang, please come here." Zhang Shaoyang opened the door and called out.
Not only Feng Xiang, but also other editors and writers were walking around in the yard at random, but if you look closely, you can find that they express themselves from time to time as they walk around.
This matter has to start with the newspaper office being divided into two halves. Since the newspaper office was divided into two halves, the other half of the newspaper office has been planned as the site of "Yan Pao".
Although it still belongs to a newspaper office in name, it actually has another outlet.
It was nothing at first, but then the editor-in-chief of "Yanbao" named Changhui found a group of women from somewhere, each of whom had a unique temperament, not to mention dignified and beautiful, but they were also Xiaojiabiyu, who could be seen They are all ladies from famous families when they come out, and there are carriages to pick them up when they go in and out, and they don't give outsiders the opportunity to contact them at all.
And this group of women doesn't need to go to the news, they can write the manuscript of the newspaper by themselves, and every afternoon is the time for these people to drink tea and eat snacks.A group of warblers and swallows in the garden naturally attract a group of bachelors next door who are ready to move, so at this time, as long as they are interested, they will go to the yard and unceremoniously display their masculine charm.
Although Feng Xiang is unwilling to go back to his hometown to get married, it doesn't mean he won't have a spring heart, and he will naturally go around the yard a few times to show himself intentionally or unintentionally.
"Daily" probably only Zhang Shaoyang and Zhang Tinglu were indifferent. Firstly, both of them already had families, and secondly, both of them knew that the identities of the women in front of them were extraordinary, so naturally they could not be disturbed.
Feng Xiang was called out, and there were a few sneers from the next door. He blushed and covered half of his face and entered the editing room.
"Brother Zhang, what do you want from me?"
"Will you take a look at this manuscript?" Zhang Shaoyang pushed the manuscript in his hand to him.
Only then did Feng Xiang regain his composure, and read it silently, "This is an article about the process of vaccination with vaccinia. It doesn't look like anything special."
But Zhang Shaoyang said: "This will be reported tomorrow."
People in the capital city of vaccinia have basically accepted it. Feng Xiang has become accustomed to this matter, so he doesn't know what good news about vaccinia.
"Brother Zhang, this isn't newsworthy, is it?"
The word "news value" was originally learned in the "Beijing Morning Post". A report must be valuable before people will read it.
Zhang Shaoyang leaned on the back of his chair and said lazily, "I received a message. It is said that there are rumors in many villages not far from the capital that vaccinia will grow horns, and many people refuse to vaccinate." He was in charge for a while. Zhang Shaoyang's whole life has changed a lot. If he goes back to the past, he probably won't be so impulsive and directly expose the cheating in the rural examination.
"How can such a thing happen? Some people believe such words?" Feng Xiang felt a little unbelievable, this is obviously nonsense, but some people believed it.
"Three people make a tiger, and one word makes money. If there are too many people who say it, even if the people don't believe it at first, they will believe it in the end."
The power of gossip, don't they those who make newspapers know?
Zhang Shaoyang said again: "So this matter needs to be clarified by our newspaper, and these few issues of the newspaper will report on this matter."
Feng Xiang nodded immediately, "Of course, I am obliged to do so. Brother Zhang, what do you think should be done?"
Zhang Shaoyang crossed his fingers on the table, pondered for a moment before speaking: "Then write according to this manuscript first, and track the process of vaccination and the situation of the parties afterward. Be sure to emphasize that after vaccination, it is no different from ordinary people. Then Send some people to the countryside for interviews. People in the city may not know what the people in the country think. Presumably, after writing these interviews, people in the capital will discuss them. Whose family does not have three or five relatives in the country? In the end, it is certain. It will spread to every Zhuangzi village. At the very least, people in the countryside must know that it is not credible that vaccination will grow horns."
Feng Xiang said solemnly: "Okay, leave this matter to me."
Similarly, not only the "Daily", but also the "Morning News" received the same order. These several issues of the newspaper have reported on the cowpox incident.
Other newspapers, keenly aware that this probably has the meaning of the imperial court, followed the same example, and began to report.
In short, I don’t know any newspaper in the capital, but they more or less started to report on vaccinia, and soon the rumor that the vaccinator in the country would grow horns became known to people in the city.
Many people also deliberately went to the countryside to ask their relatives if there was such a thing, making the relatives in the countryside feel ashamed and thrown into the city.
Some people took their families and took the initiative to go to the government to set up vaccinations, but most of them were still waiting and watching.
About half a month later, the imperial court began to be vigilant, and a rumor spread from the surrounding area. It was said that smallpox broke out suddenly in a village in the south, and it was spreading to the capital.
This caused panic among countless people, regardless of whether the cowpox would grow horns or not, they rushed to get the vaccination first like reincarnation.
Fortunately, the court soon came to refute the rumors, saying that smallpox had not spread, because smallpox stopped when it reached a certain Zhuangzi.
The imperial court did not explain, and the people rushed to inquire. Later, gossip came out, saying that the Zhuangzi belonged to a certain prince, and when the cowpox first came out, he ordered the people in his Zhuangzi to inoculate it.
Originally, those people were only intimidated by the orders from above, so they were inoculated with cowpox unwillingly, but they didn't expect to suddenly save their lives.
Later, the name of this Zhuangzi was also exposed, and many people went to inquire about it, but they did not expect such a thing to happen.
This time, the common people don't care whether the cowpox will grow horns or not, they will save their own lives first.
Smallpox is really terrible. Does it have horns?That's not my own race. If everyone grows horns, no one should laugh at anyone else.
Later, it even turned into a situation where neighbors and folks reported whoever hadn’t been vaccinated, and then they were forced to vaccinate by the villagers’ elders. The vigorous vaccination went on for several years. Later, it was found that there was no change in life, and people calmed down, even children. Get vaccinated spontaneously as soon as you reach age.
The river works on the Yongding River have been repaired for several years, and this year it was finally completed before the flood season.
As soon as Minning handed over the "Beijing Morning Post" to the imperial court, he received the news that the fourth master would follow the emperor to inspect the river engineering.
This time, not far from Beijing, the well-informed newspapers in the capital have already dispatched additional manpower to rush there ahead of time, preparing to report a series of complete itineraries.
This kind of thing that can focus on publicizing the emperor's achievements, the court naturally readily agreed, allowing specific newspapers to follow.
As an established newspaper, "Beijing Daily" is also among them.
"This time, everyone wants to have a good start. Don't let the "Beijing Morning Post" steal the limelight. Although our newspaper is a little later than the "Beijing Morning Post", don't forget, we are the last Those who start to enter this line of work must let them know that those nerds from the Imperial Academy can’t handle newspapers.” Before leaving, Zhang Shaoyang encouraged his subordinates as usual.
They already knew that the "Beijing Morning Post" was taken over by the Hanlin Academy, and many officials from the Imperial Academy had already entered it one after another.
So this time, it is not only a battle between old newspapers and new newspapers, but also a battle between private and official newspapers.
"So let's teach them how to make a newspaper!" Zhang Shaoyang roared.
The people below immediately responded excitedly, "Teach them! Teach them!"
There is no scholar who is not excited to play against those top picks in the past.
The night before leaving, Fourth Master rested in Minning's yard. After the hearty love affair that night, Fourth Master touched her belly, a little puzzled, "Why haven't you conceived yet?"
According to the instructions, her body has been recuperated a long time ago, but it has been half a year and there is no news.
Minning was still immersed in the aftermath, when Fourth Master touched her stomach, she shivered violently.
"Grandpa..." After each time, her voice would become charming.
Fourth Master hugged her in his arms, and didn't dislike her sweat, and said to her, "Should I call Dr. Ye back, without her by your side, my heart is always a little shaky."
As soon as Minning thought that Doctor Ye would have to drink all kinds of tonics again when she came back, she felt a headache, nestled in Fourth Master's arms, and said coquettishly, "Master, Doctor Ye is busy with big things, so I don't need to bother with this little thing." her."
The fourth master stared into her eyes and said, "It is a big deal to give birth to a son, not to mention that the vaccination issue has been resolved, and Imperial Physician Ye has also trained a lot of folk doctors. There is no need for Doctor Ye's daughter to follow her. It is time to transfer her back."
Minning's face wrinkled, did she trick herself?If you don't help with ideas, the vaccination will not go so smoothly, and Dr. Ye will definitely not be transferred back so soon.
"Okay, don't think about it anymore, how to give birth to a son." Fourth master turned her over, pushed her legs away, and lay on top of her again.
Before being pulled into the sea of desire, a thought flashed through Minning's mind, what if she gave birth to a daughter?
