"Tax Taxation" spread to all directions at a rapid speed, which made the entire Ming Dynasty shake. Most of the gentry and merchants were extremely panicked about this article, but not everyone in this world was short-sighted. After seeing this article, many scholars with vision and concern for the country began to meditate.

Of course, there are only a few people who can think deeply about it, but this phenomenon has caused anger among the gentry class. If ordinary people dared to fire map cannons like this, they would have been killed by them with secret tricks. But Yang Feng is different. He was the most re-entered Jiangning in the dynasty of the emperor, and he held heavy troops. It would be impossible to use secret tricks to kill him with secret tricks.

The secret tricks are useless, what about the surface? Don’t think about this anymore. The memorials impeached Yang Feng over the past year can almost fill a warehouse, but they are still living their own life, and the emperor has not reduced his rebirth.

Just when everyone was frowning, Qian Qianyi, who was highly regarded by Gao Canglong, came up with an idea. Since Yang Feng could run a newspaper, then there was no reason why they, the literati who claimed to lead the trend of the times, were there any reason to be behind others? Isn’t it just a newspaper? They can run a newspaper, why can’t we do one at the same time?

As soon as Qian Qianyi's suggestion was immediately praised by everyone. If it was a war, governing the country or investigating corruption, the people of the Donglin Party might not dare to boast, but if they were whispering, what were they afraid of? Where are the people of the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, and the Qi Party in the past? They could drive all these people back to their hometown to eat themselves, and this time they would definitely do it.

Once the opinions were unified, the Donglin Party's action speed became extremely fast. They immediately discussed issues such as naming, address, recruitment of personnel, and even the source of manuscripts. In less than two hours, they discussed a general framework.

Three days later, the Donglin Party announced that it would set up a newspaper in the capital, and the name of this newspaper was called "Confucian News". From this name, we can see that the Donglin Party now has the attitude of claiming to be authentic Confucianism.

The address was completed, but the opening of "Rubao" encountered difficulties. The first problem was the printing problem.

As we all know, newspapers are no longer as good as those of classics such as printing Buddhist scriptures or printing sub-collected classics and history. They can be printed with woodblock printing. Although the woodblock printing has exquisite workmanship and neat and beautiful fonts, they are too time-consuming and have huge phone calls. It is often months or even years of time-consuming, which is not something that ordinary people can afford. Although the representatives of the Donglin Party and the Jiangnan gentry and merchants are rich, they cannot afford it.

It is not bad to use movable type printing, but movable type printing is convenient, but its biggest disadvantage is that the font is not good-looking, and it cannot be as neat and beautiful as the carved plate when typesetting. This is the biggest reason for the current restriction on movable type printing.

However, when talking about this, someone asked again why the printing on Pravda is so neat and beautiful?

Well, this problem stumped everyone, and it took a long time for someone to say: "According to the people below, it is said that Yang Feng brought a new printing machine from overseas. This machine is not only convenient to type, but also has a very fast printing speed. It can print two thousand 3,000 newspapers in one hour. A large part of the success of Pratyekabud is attributed to this printing machine."

“Printing machine?”

Li Qiyuan murmured, and then said hatefully: "Last time we sent people to various bookstores to warn, no bookstore and typewriter in the capital dared to cooperate with Truth. He originally thought that he could kill it in the fetus before the Truth was opened. Unexpectedly, Yang Feng actually got a printing machine and recruited several apprentices to train them, so that Truth was opened as scheduled. It seems that this printing machine is really a treasure. Can we find a way to get that thing over?"

Everyone rolled his eyes when they heard this. Since this machine is so important, it will definitely be protected by the focus. Unless they send someone to grab it, they will never be able to get the machine. But the problem revolves around. If they can grab the machine, would they still have to be afraid of Yang Feng?

This question seemed to have become a dead knot, and everyone frowned. Finally, Gao Panlong said: "Let's do this, Hongtai (Li Qiyuan) first urgently dispatched some typesetting masters to try printing to see how it works? Suzhi (Qian Qianyi) mobilized some scholars and colleagues to write articles for our Confucian newspapers, and we will publish the newspaper ten days later. Finally..."

Speaking of this, a hint of cruelty flashed across Gao Panlong's face, and he turned his attention to Fang Zhuangli: "Sir, I heard that you have a group of people who are particularly good at inquiring and doing things. In recent days, you will immediately send people to contact the printing craftsmen in the printing factory of Pravda to see if they can ask the secrets of their machines. If they can't ask, I thought I could buy some of them, and it would be okay to make some small moves on the printing machine."

After Gao Panlong finished speaking, everyone was silent for a while before applauding.

"Miscellaneous...unexplainable..."

"Mr. Yun Cong's plan is very good... The students admire it!"

"I am worthy of being the leader of my Donglin Party. This is simply to the point!"

The room was filled with sounds of admiration, and many people tried their best to flatter.

Faced with the flattery of everyone, Gao Panlong just smiled faintly, gently twisted his whiskers with his right hand, but a trace of light flashed in his eyes...

The Donglin Party’s counterattack was still very fast. Ten days later, the “Rubao” run by the Donglin Party officially began to be distributed in the capital.

The Donglin Party took action, and the momentum was naturally different. On the day of the publication of "Rubao", Gao Panlong not only came to the newspaper headquarters to stand up for "Rubao", but almost half of the officials in the capital came. The scale was so grand that it was almost as big as the emperor's banquet for all officials. For a time, the civil servant circle in the entire capital set off a trend of watching "Rubao".

Because Pravda was the first to have the example of "Pravda", Gao Panlong sent someone to print 10,000 copies, and the free distribution of the entire capital was distributed. He wanted to suppress Pravda in this way. The people in the capital were also very proud of the things they gave, so they naturally refused everyone to give them free of charge. Anyway, even if they couldn't understand, they would take them home and pack them.

However, when some literate people took the "Religious Book" and found that the whole article was written in classical Chinese, and the whole piece was written in vain. Many articles were extremely obscure and difficult to understand, and they could not understand without profound literary skills.

Now many people are a bit slutty. Your sister has just been to school for a few days. I know almost all the words on it, but after combining them together, I can't understand them all. Are you sure you are not fooling us?

In the backyard of Jiangning Bo Mansion, Da Yu'er's angry voice resounded in the side hall, and her little hand kept waving a newly obtained "Religious Daily".

Zheng Tuo Niang also looked unwilling. She raised her head and asked, "Husband, since this Gao Panlong slandered you so unscrupulously, why didn't you report to the emperor and seal their newspaper?"

"Yes, such a newspaper should be sealed!" Da Yu'er agreed in discomfort.

Hai Lanzhu and Zhezhe, who were beside each other, looked at their husbands with some concern.

"This is not possible." Yang Feng shook his head and said, "What is our original intention in running a newspaper?"

Without waiting for the women to answer, Yang Feng said: "Speech...free speech. What I have to do is to let the people of the Ming Dynasty know what is happening in the Ming Dynasty and the crisis we are about to face, rather than blocking speech. Of course, absolute freedom of speech is not possible, otherwise everyone will make up for it, wouldn't it be a mess?

But now we cannot move the Donglin Party and their "Confucian Prose", because if we use the power of the official to deal with them, it will be equivalent to setting a precedent for evil deeds. In the future, they can also use the power of the official to deal with our "Republic of Truth". You must know that our power in Jiangnan is still very weak now. If the "Republic of Truth" wants to be published in Jiangnan, we cannot break up with them. Otherwise, if they also make up their minds and use their power in Jiangnan to deal with us, we really have no way to deal with them for a while."

"Oh...so that's it!"

After listening to Yang Feng's explanation, the girls understood why Yang Feng ignored the "Religious Prospects".

"Besides, I heard that the "Religious Daily" has encountered difficulties." Yang Feng said again: "According to the reports below, the Donglin Party has spent a lot of money to hire the most famous layout masters and craftsmen in the capital to print newspapers for them. Moreover, they use wooden characters to carve their lives, so the cost is not a small amount, and they are not as advanced as ours.

I sent someone to inquire. Their "Rubao" is priced at the same price as ours, but their cost is more than three cents. It can be said that the more they print, the more they will lose. If this continues, there will be a good show. Besides, we won't be idle. I have already thought about the front page of the next issue, which will make them enjoyable!"

Just as the Donglin Party members were desperately donating money and materials to the "Rule of Truth", Pravda threw out another bombshell, and the "State of Fellowship" written by Yang Feng himself was released. The article will point the finger at the Donglin Party at the beginning.
Chapter completed!
