Chapter 478 Public Opinion Builds

Speaking of this kind of article, it is probably just that Ruan Dacheng is willing to write. If someone from other literati backgrounds has to consider his or her own position first. Ruan Dacheng has only one position, and I will stand on the side of anyone who is an official. This kind of spirit of putting integrity in my crotch and wearing shirtless is really rare in this era.

Of course, Ruan Dacheng is not a fool, and he must have weighed the pros and cons of the pros and cons of the past. The governor Chen Xie is too special. He is not short of both civil and military, human and financial resources, and the trust of the king. It is indeed more reassuring to hold such a thigh.

After waiting at home for a day, Ruan Dacheng was also sweating coldly after reading the article he wrote. At that time, in order to vote for his reputation, he wrote it regardless of his words. Now he feels guilty. He is a big landlord and has been digging for the country's land tax. After everything has been done, Ruan Dacheng doesn't care about regretting it. It is serious to keep Chen Ge's thighs firmly.

After this article was published, the entire Jiangnan scholars avoided this issue. No one dared to face it head-on. It was a very simple truth, if you go deeper, the issues involved were too sensitive. Which of these folk gentry has no problem? To give a very simple example, once scholars in the Ming Dynasty passed the imperial examination, their villagers would inevitably devote their fields to their names to evade taxes. Everyone did this, and none of them were clean. Fortunately, this article was just talking about public and private matters, and they really didn't get to the fields or to other things, so there was still room for them.

After two days, the next issue of the newspaper. A vernacular article signed by Chen Xie came again. He responded to some incognito criticisms, and the problem was "ritual law". The beginning of the article reads: etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, the four dimensions of the country, the four dimensions are not exaggerated, and the country will not be in the country. Etiquette is very important, and there is no doubt about this. What we want to say here is that as time goes by, the times change, etiquette is also constantly changing. First of all, etiquette is to serve the interests of the country. This is the greatest significance of etiquette. Once the current etiquette is not suitable for the national interests of this era, it must be adjusted and improved. To give a very simple example, can the Zhou rituals in the Western Zhou Dynasty be exactly the same as the etiquettes in the Han and Tang Dynasties? Are etiquettes in the Han and Tang Dynasties the same as the etiquettes in the Han and Tang Dynasties the same as the etiquettes in the Han and Tang Dynasties?

Chen Xie was also very cunning. He knew that he would definitely not be able to lose his bags of books with these people. He changed his tricks and first released his own point of view. Chen Xie also said: The so-called time, that time. When Taizu was founded, there were few people and the fields were abundant. Therefore, there were very few merchants who worked in business. They could even ignore this group. But now it is different. Since Chengzu came to peace for 200 years, the population has increased to nearly 20 million. Businessmen in various places have become a huge group. Merchants have a lot of wealth in their hands, but the country lacks tax levies. In the past, less commercial taxes were collected or even no, which had little impact on the entire country's finances. Now it is not the case. The tax on land can no longer meet the state's expenditure, and corresponding adjustments must be made.

Chen Xie took some modern ideas and changed them, and used examples from life as evidence. Among the examples given by Chen Xie, the most familiar thing is the silk industry. In recent years, due to the rising price of silk, there are many people who have ruined the world. This behavior is not something that can be controlled by national laws, but is completely spontaneous result of the people. Such a result will inevitably lead to the reduction of grain production in Jiangnan, which seems to be unfavorable to the stability of the country. In fact, from another perspective, when the price of grain rises, you can purchase grain from Nanyang and other places to supplement the insufficient domestic grain production. Instead of simply seeing that commerce will lead to the reduction of agricultural production, and then eliminate this phenomenon. First of all, this practice is unrealistic. How can you eliminate the spontaneous behavior of the people? As a state official or a future state official, you must have a clear understanding of the national economy and people's livelihood, rather than doing things entirely based on your personal preferences.

By collecting commercial taxes, the state obtains silver and then uses the silver to buy the food in the hands of merchants. This process seems simple, but in fact, there are many livelihoods for eating in the whole process. People have a livelihood and have no worries about food and clothing, so that they can produce and live with peace of mind. For example, when the price of silk rises and merchants expand production, they first need to recruit people to make silk. Secondly, transportation also requires increasing manpower and transportation tools, increasing transportation tools, and driving industries of transportation tools, such as shipbuilding. In every small family, there is a person with a stable income, which means the stability of a family. Therefore, don’t underestimate a small silk industry, the population that feeds is a huge population.

When the industry prospers, the country can collect more money and grain, and in turn, it can be used to stabilize the country. With the country's silver, soldiers have money and pensions, they will naturally have no worries when they go to battle. Only when the soldiers use their lives can national security be guaranteed. With the country's money and grain, they can use it to provide relief to the victims and not give the bandits an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In fact, those who read some books understand this theory, but when personal interests and national interests are placed together, it is just a question of how to choose.

Speaking of which, the influence of Jiangnan Shilin is not because of their high level, but because the so-called "public opinion" in this year has never been the meaning of a gentry group. Public opinion is the patent of those gentry groups. Why do you say so? Because there are too many illiterate people in this era, most people don’t even know one. Can you let him express his meaning in smooth words?

Chen Xie was very good at playing this issue. There are newspaper reading columns in every street and alley in Nanjing, and some people read newspapers for free. This is different. Not literate does not mean a fool. Everyone understands what is written in vernacular. When these grass people know these principles and are willing to express them, this is the true public opinion.

There were a few scholars wearing blue shirts next to the newspaper reading columns in the streets and alleys. A sign was hung on the chest with the word "Reporter" written on it. After listening to the newspaper reading, the uncle carrying the load was about to go back to continue working. He was immediately targeted by the reporter and asked: "Uncle, do you have any ideas after listening to this newspaper reading?"

After hearing this, an aunt left cursingly. The reporter immediately went up and asked, "This aunt, what do you think after listening to the newspaper reading? Can you tell me?" "I want to go back to cook for my grandson." "It's okay, it won't take much time off for you. I'll buy you two sesame cakes for my grandson to eat."

Such things are constantly happening, and the people's answers are all kinds of strange. Some say, "This is fate. I was not reincarnated in my previous life and I did evil." Some say, "The men are like this, how can I care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people?" Some say, "The fields are occupied by the men, so how can the court have land taxes to help the people? No wonder Jiangbei is making a big fuss."

After bringing these messy answers back to the newspaper office, Chen Ge's department, who was in charge of Ming Pao overnight, took these interviews and read them carefully, picked out some useful ones and then published them in the newspaper. Some of the answers were still jokes made by Mr. Chen on the spot. As the media, what media is considered if they don’t spread rumors? What media is considered if they don’t make some eye-catching topics? What media is considered if they don’t play with something out of context?

You know, after these things were published, the sales of newspapers increased slightly, and it was already very stable, but this issue of newspapers unexpectedly sold four or five thousand copies.

This is what is called building momentum and public opinion. The people are always blind. Today they listen to this and tomorrow they will say that. If he listens to someone every day, it will be a damn washing and brainwashing in the long run. Ming Pao will do this washing and brainwashing.

After a period of trouble, Shilin Daily was completely silent. In the face of Chen Xie's continuous public opinion offensives, the teahouses, restaurants, streets and alleys were all talking about. What's more interesting is that after a period of brewing, some literati with commercial backgrounds stood up and shouted for Ming Pao's attitude.

While creating public opinion, Chen Xie also had to do serious things. The schistosomiasis hospital was still deserted after half a month of opening, and no patient was intent on coming to treat him. Every day, there were many onlookers standing at the gate and pointing at the gate. If there weren’t any soldiers on duty standing there, they wouldn’t know what would happen.

After some people's mouth promotion, this hospital has a really bad reputation now.

As the director of the hospital, Liu Longqing was in a very bad mood. At the beginning, he came with ambition. His father Liu Gaoming is now a top doctor in Dengzhou Hospital. He has not learned these skills and came to Jiangnan to treat schistosomiasis. He is still very confident under the premise of special medicines. Unfortunately, the people don’t believe it. No matter how you promote it, no one believes it.

Another day passed, and seeing that another day had passed, and there was still no patient coming, Liu Longqing sighed and told the doorman to pay attention to safety. The doctor on duty told him that he was about to get off work, and then he went to find Mr. Chen to find some way to change it. Just after he walked around and the patrol was over, someone suddenly came in at the door. The doctor on duty looked excited and couldn't help but excitedly said: "Dean, a patient has come."

"Okay, is it confirmed?" Liu Longqing suppressed his excitement and asked calmly. The doctor said: "Extremely thin, deep eye sockets, dry and loose skin, exposed ribs, and scaphoid abdomen, which is what people describe as "skinny and bone-filled". Very typical symptoms can be seen at a glance."

"Prepatifoxel tablets, we must see immediate results." The excited Liu Longqing rushed to the treatment room. The patient was a young man in his teens, with his parents and several relatives there. He was nervous, standing with his hands down, looking at the doctor coming in. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
