In the waters of the Changshan Islands, a navy with the banner of Jinyiwei cruising on the Yellow Sea outside the Bohai Bay.

The Jinyiwei Navy, after Gao Shixin submitted a memorial, Emperor Tianqi agreed to the Jinyiwei to establish the navy. After receiving the imperial edict, Gao Shixin created this Jinyiwei Navy Navy.

With Zhang Yong's efforts, the Mining Supervision was once abolished by Emperor Taichang, and the Sili Supervision, the Tax Supervision, once again gained financial power. However, the Sili Supervision no longer dispatched the Mining Supervision and Tax Supervision to the outside world, but delegated the power of tax collection to the Jinyiwei. However, the income from the tax collection outside was supervised by the Dongchang and Sili Supervision.

As a result, countless new Jinyiwei Hundred Houses appeared like mushrooms after a rain. Each Jinyiwei Hundred Houses also hung a petition box outside. If the common people are wronged and sued in the local yamen, officials shelter the evil people, causing the common people to lose the lawsuit, they can go directly to the door of the Jinyiwei Yard and send a report letter into the reporting box.

The newspaper industry in the Ming Dynasty also began to flourish. The first newspaper published was the "Da Ming Royal Express", which was founded by Silijian. It relied on students from civil servants such as Cui Wensheng, Li Mingdao, Cui Chengxiu, and Yan Mingtai, who defected to the eunuch party, to start the newspaper. The "Da Ming Royal Express" was distributed nationwide.

The Silijian began to publish newspapers, and of course the Jinyiwei could not fall behind. Gao Shixin opened the Ming Jinyiwei Guardian. Compared with the Ming Royal Express, which was run by eunuch party literati, the articles of the Ming Jinyiwei Guardian were written in vernacular and were accompanied by pictures. Not to mention that ordinary people who are not very literate can understand, or even those who are illiterate can understand the content from the illustrations, which is easy to understand. As a result, the Ming Jinyiwei Guardian became very popular shortly after its publication.

Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guardian, there is a special layout with literacy pages, with pictures on it, and one or a few words written on it, teaching the people to read and read. As a result, many ordinary people who were originally ignorant read by purchasing the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guardian and learn to read.

The eunuchs had released two newspapers in a row. Of course, the Donglin Party was not willing to be outdone. Jiangnan issued newspapers such as the Donglin Express and Jiangnan Daily to compete with the eunuchs' newspapers.

As long as the newspaper of the eunuch party says something good, the newspaper of the Donglin party says it is a bad thing; as long as the newspaper of the eunuch party says something bad, the newspaper of the Donglin party says something good, in short, it is a tit-for-tat.

However, when the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guardian was published in Jiangnan, the Donglin Party in Jiangnan boycotted the newspaper, and there was no incident where Donglin Qunxian angrily smashed the Jinyi Guardian newspaper. First, they did not dare to smash the Jinyi Guardian newspaper, which could be regarded as a rebellion; second, since Jinyi Guardians in Nanjing and Suzhou put down their knives and picked up their pens to debate with scholars, the scholars put down their pens and picked up wooden sticks to smash the Jinyi Guardian newspaper, which was a gentle and scattered. Therefore, Donglin scholars in Jiangnan would rather publish articles in newspapers and debate with Jinyi Guardians than smash the Jinyi Guardian newspaper.

The Jinyiwei of the Jinyiwei newspaper is also very sensible in his work. Since a gentleman is not good at speaking, he should be a gentleman as well. There is no need to forcefully seize the newspapers of the Donglin Party members in Jiangnan and let them argue.

The vast majority of Donglin scholars did not conflict with the picture-reading page in the Ming Jinyi Guardian. Instead, they thought it was a good thing. They taught the people to read, so there would be more scholars in the future? So Donglin Express, Jiangnan Daily and other Donglin Party newspapers also added the picture-reading page and learned the Four Books and Five Classics. For a time, Donglin Party newspapers such as Donglin Express and Jiangnan Daily were also deeply welcomed by the people.

However, another newspaper of the eunuch party, the Royal Express, sold poorly. On the one hand, the articles above are all in the form of eight-part essays, which are too old-fashioned and do not publish literacy, learning, serialized novels, and advertising economics like the Ming Dynasty Guardian.

The Donglin Express and Jiangnan Daily published by Jiangnan Shizi, who are good at learning, also imitated the Ming Jinyi Guardian and published serial novels.

However, the novels serialized by the Donglin Party members are always popular in the martial arts novels serialized in the Ming Dynasty. Those martial arts novels are very popular among the people. In addition to serialized martial arts novels, the "Ming Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guardian" also serialized novels such as the adapted novels of Yue Fei and Xue Rengui.

For a time, in major teahouses in Jiangnan, the storyteller was telling the latest martial arts novels written by the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guardian, and the business of teahouses and teahouses was booming.

The most popular thing among merchants in the Ming Jinyi Guardian is the economic advertising page, which publishes the prices of various goods across the country and outside the Great Wall. It even publishes the prices of various goods in Annan, Japan, Nanyang and other places to provide reference for merchants. If merchants pay for money to publish advertisements, the Ming Jinyi Guardian will help merchants publish advertisements on the advertising page.

At first, some merchants were still skeptical about the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guardian, but later some people finally realized that the prices of goods on it were real and were good reference data. So some merchants went to Jinyi Guardian Hundred Houses to ask for their own advertisements. As a result, those merchants who found Jinyi Guardian Hundred Houses to publish advertisements had their business become prosperous and much better than others.

Just when the Ming Jinyi Guardian sold paper in Luoyang, the petition boxes of Jinyiwei and Qianhu Offices were still ignored in various places. After all, the people who had wronged were worried about the officials and ministers. They lost the lawsuit in the yamen and did not dare to go to Jinyiwei and Qianhu Offices to sue the local officials.

Yu Laoliu is an honest farmer in the suburbs of Wuchang City. Originally, a farmer from Huguang had no worries about food and clothing at home. The water network in Huguang was rich in resources and was a home of fish and rice. There is a saying that Huguang is mature enough. Most of the rice in Jiangnan or Beijing comes from Huguang. Although Yu Laoliu is just a tenant, the people here live a pretty good life. After all, the farmland yield is high. After paying the tenant rent, the remaining grain is enough for the family to live a life of food and clothing. Yu Laoliu also occasionally catches some fish and shrimp in rivers and lakes to improve his life. Sometimes, if he catches big fish, he can go to the market to exchange for a few kilograms of pork and go home to eat meat.

Two years ago, several new crops were introduced to Huguang, one was called sweet potato, one was called corn, and the other was called pepper.

Sweet potatoes are a good thing. They do not have high requirements for land. They can be grown in barren land on the hillside. They have high yields and taste sweet. But sweet potatoes have a disadvantage. If people eat this food for a long time and eat sweet potatoes every day, they will not be able to bear it after a long time.

Some time ago, the Jinyiwei Thousand Houses Office in Wuchang City was expanded, and the number of Jinyiwei people expanded from the original 530 to more than 2,000.

When the Jinyiwei was first expanded, the people were still worried, only worried that the eagle-clawed grandsons came to the countryside to harm the people. But later they realized that the Jinyiwei Thousand Household Institute in Wuchang had been expanded and recruited many scholars. Not long after, the Ming Jinyiwei Newspaper was released in large quantities around Wuchang.

From then on, Yu Laoliu became obsessed with the Ming Jinyi Guardian. Through this newspaper, he knew a lot of words, could understand the poems of the Tang and Song dynasties, the Four Books and Five Classics, and also saw many novels from it.

After learning to read, Yu Laoliu was also attracted by the economic and advertising pages in the Ming Jinyi Guardian. On this day, Yu Laoliu saw an article on the economic and cultural page: Teach you how to make sweet potato flour; teach you how to boil live fish in chili.
