Chapter 642 Big News
Qinhuai River, Liang Mansion.
Sitting alone in the study, Liang Yuchuan was still shaking all over even though the stove was burning and all the doors and windows were closed.
Sometimes people's luck is really hard to explain and unclear.
Last year, he was about to reach the peak of his life - not only was he on the gold medal list, but his father even matched him with a good match - the daughter of his first assistant Wei Dezao. With this match, he didn't have any worries.
future?
But who would have thought that at this moment, fate played a joke on him.
The intruders conquered the capital, and the emperor died. His father-in-law, the dignified chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, surrendered to the thieves, and was later beheaded by the intruders. In fact, that was the end of the matter. But the problem was that the intruders were very quick.
He was annihilated by the troops led by Jin Shang. As for his father-in-law, he also became famous all over the world for being a thief.
After all, what his father-in-law did was so shameless. When the capital fell, Wei Zaode hid at home, still hoping to get the help of the intruders, make a comeback, and become a general.
Later Li Zicheng asked him:
"Why don't you die?"
He actually replied shamelessly:
"If you want to be effective, why would you dare to die?"
But soon the new imperial court, where he was preparing to serve, took him to prison and tortured him for pay. Wei Zaode was forced to hand over tens of thousands of taels of silver after his fingers were cut off with a stick, and he was tortured for five days and five nights.
Later, he died in prison because his head was cracked, and his son was also executed.
And what is shameless?
He even took the initiative to give his daughter to the thief as a concubine, hoping to save his life. Finally, after Liu Zongmin enjoyed his daughter, he sent her to the army to serve as a camp prostitute.
This is his father-in-law!
Because of this, whenever Wei Zaode is mentioned in Nanjing, these things will inevitably be mentioned. Of course, Liang Yuchuan was also eliminated along with him.
Life has become a joke!
In fact, deep down in his heart, Liang Yuchuan was secretly glad that at least he did not get married, otherwise he would have to be exiled overseas. Of course, the more important thing is that his father... died. He contracted a bad disease before the thieves entered the city.
He is dead, otherwise, he might also have to surrender to the thieves.
After all, he is so realistic.

Yes, this can be considered a blessing among misfortunes!
If he spoke treasonously, Liang Yuchuan even felt that his father died at the right time. At least the Liang family would not have to be exiled and the family property would not have to be confiscated.
But no matter what, he never thought that disaster would come from the sky.
In fact, he originally thought that luck was on his side, after all, he had just passed the imperial examination. Then the imperial court suddenly ordered a thorough investigation of the surrendered prisoners, and all the properties of the thieves, including the fields dedicated to the officials, were confiscated.
This suddenly stirred up a hornet's nest. Just when all the officials in the capital were preparing to impeach Fang Yizhi, the emperor suddenly stood up and expressed his support for Fang Yizhi, and also sent troops to suppress local uprisings in various places.
In the end, not many people were killed, but many of the squires involved were exiled overseas.
This moment made everyone dumbfounded, and the Liang family also suffered a disaster - a letter came from their hometown, and the "family members" who had donated their land were all clamoring to withdraw from the land. Originally, because of the death of their father, the family lost their shelter, and they still
He was worried that someone would imitate him and wanted to quit his farmland. After becoming a Jinshi, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and was suddenly forced into a desperate situation.
All those fields were gone at once, and someone even took out an IOU from his father. His father had borrowed money from many people!
I have to pay back the money!
It all fell on him like a bolt from the blue.
After he took care of all this, there was nothing left in the family except this house.
For the Liang family, this is simply a disaster!
It’s over!
The Liang family is in ruins!
Since three days ago, Liang Yuchuan has not even left the house.
He no longer cares about anything else...
Everything is finished.
The family business has declined to such an extent that it will be difficult for Liang Yuchuan to even eat in the future. Although he has a salary now, and the salary of Qian Sheng Dynasty is not low. Even if the salary is not increased in name, the actual income is far more than that of Chongzhen In the Chongzhen Dynasty, just like him, Wen Linlang, who was in the seventh rank, his annual salary was 12 stones of rice, 27.49 taels of silver, and 360 banknotes. In the Chongzhen Dynasty, this salary was really not enough, because the rice was discounted, and the banknotes... That thing has other uses besides wiping your butt.
But Qian Sheng Chao is different. Qian Sheng Chao's banknotes can indeed be exchanged for a thousand cash!
And it’s instant redemption!
What was exchanged was the finest Qian Sheng Tong Bao, and these 360 strings of treasure banknotes were worth 360 taels of silver.
The official income of Qiansheng Dynasty is really not low!
But the problem is that the Liang family's income used to be higher. When his father was still alive, the family donated as much as 20,000 acres of land. Now.
All gone!
What about the banks of the Qinhuai River, what talents and beauties... nothing is gone, these have nothing to do with him.
Without money, there is nothing left!
As for that little salary, what is it enough for?
It was as if God had played a big joke on him, and when he was feeling proud, he suddenly gave him a heavy blow.
All of this is...all of that Your Majesty!
Thinking of His Majesty, Liang Yuchuan's eyes fell back to the newspaper, staring at the news. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and he sneered.
"Hmph, Hunjun, if you want to do the opposite, I will help you! This time, the world must see your true face!"
After saying that, as if he had made up his mind, he lay down on the desk and started writing vigorously.
…
In the early morning, Xu Lai came to the newspaper office on Sanshan Street. Two years ago, after learning that the Dalian Iron Works was selling a lithographic press, he immediately bought a lithographic press. While printing books, he also founded the "Huangming Daily". It has developed very rapidly in two years, and can even be compared with the "Da Ming Daily". After all, in the eyes of many conservative scholar-bureaucrats, the "Da Ming Daily" is simply the mouthpiece of the imperial court, and it is too philistine. In comparison, "The Emperor" Tomorrow Daily will satisfy their appetite. Xu Yong, who is high-spirited, even plans to make "Huangming Daily" surpass "Daming Daily" within five years. Especially during this period, with several big news in succession, Who in the world doesn't know "Huangming Daily" now?
“It would be great if there were a few more big news!”
Xu Yong said to himself that at this time, he was completely a news practitioner, and he was thinking about big news. But in another time and space, as a Jiangyin native, he was thinking about the Ming Dynasty. When the city was destroyed, He committed suicide along with many of his friends.
In fact, there were many people like him at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Faced with the enslavement of foreign races, there were countless people like him. They chose to resist. After the resistance failed, they chose to die for their country. Some even ordered their young children to commit suicide. Because they did not want future generations to recognize thieves as their fathers, perhaps only those who lived in that era could truly understand the pain of losing their country and their species.
Of course, Xu Yong, who is now in the newspaper industry, also has the world of Ming Dynasty in his heart. Just like when he issued the memorial "The King of Tang Requests to Move to the Country", Xu Yong had already prepared for the newspaper to be closed down, and even himself
The plan is to be caught and sent to prison.
But he still sent it out, not only because it was big news, but more importantly, he also had his insistence in his heart - the bloodline of the late emperor must be preserved.
"Do you have any manuscripts today?"
Xu Yong asked as soon as he entered the newspaper office.
If a newspaper wants to sell well, it must have big news. If there is no big news, it must at least have good articles. Anyway, the two must be the same, otherwise the newspaper will not be sold.
In fact, sometimes you can make some news yourself, such as about monsters and monsters.
Of course Xu Yong would not do this. After all, there must be some bottom line in everything he does. He has his persistence.
"There is an article here, I wonder if I can post it."
The editor on the side sent the article over. Xu Yong said directly without reading it.
"If there's anything we can't publish, we run a newspaper. As long as it's true, as long as it's news, we can publish it..."
His words stopped suddenly. He stared at the content of the article for a long time and was speechless. His hands were even shaking.
The reason why he was so excited was because he knew that this was not just a big news, but a - this was clearly a bolt from the blue!
