After Xu Wei talked with Guo Daxian, he quickly appointed Guo Daxian as the new imperial censor, and Old Wang officially retired and withdrew from the Daqian court. However, in order to give full play to Old Wang's residual enthusiasm, Xu Wei still asked Old Wang to run for the position of Jixian. MP.
After Xu Wei's support, Guo Daxian aggressively recruited people to expand his subordinates. Although it was difficult for him to install the supervisory censor in the entire county of Daqian, he allowed one in each county of Daqian. Supervising the Yushi Mansion, he also made a loud announcement to tell the people of Daqian that if they had any grievances, they could come to them to supervise the Yushi and file a complaint!
For a time, it shocked the entire officialdom of Daqian. Xu Wei expanded the imperial censor's palace, which made the entire senior officials of Daqian uneasy.
And Xu Wei also thought of a way to strengthen supervision of officials without adding more officials, which is to establish a reporter system.
In Daqian, due to the development of the printing and paper-making industries and Xu Weiwei's large-scale literacy campaign, less than half of the people in Daqian can read, but only 10 to 20% of people can simply understand the text. This is millions of people. It’s a big market, and most of these millions of literate people are in the middle class of Daqian, with the highest income. Therefore, the rapid development of Daqian’s cultural industry has led to the emergence of the newspaper industry, but this is the world’s largest This newspaper is a stock newspaper, which publishes news about their respective stocks. This is also the news that investors in the world are most concerned about. It can be said that the circulation of stock newspapers is extremely large.
In Daqian territory, there are countless people who were originally from noble families. They basically have no future in Daqian. However, they still have a small family fortune, so they can be said to have no worries about food and clothing, and these people are also literate. Hyphenation, but in Daqian their knowledge is completely useless and there is no way to rise, so they can only spend their days doing nothing, which makes them full of complaints about Daqian.
After the emergence of the newspaper industry, they found a new position, either publishing their own articles in it, or writing biographies, sad and autumn stories, etc. Although Daqian is considered a paradise for ordinary people, it is not a paradise for these powerful nobles. For many people, it is almost like hell, but they usually dare not vent their dissatisfaction, so they can only vent their inner dissatisfaction with the help of stories.
Therefore, in newspapers, most of them are stories about a young man and a young lady, and then encounter the big villain, the rebel army, and then the protagonist's family is destroyed, etc.
Niu Gui also showed these to Xu Wei. After all, this was an allusion to their great efforts. Niu Gui and the others wanted to ban the publication of these, but Xu Wei looked at them with interest and said: "It's just the cry of a defeated dog." !As long as they are not really against our Daqian court, just leave them alone!"
Niu Gui worriedly said: "Although these people have not said it, you can tell by looking at them that they think so. Should we ban all these newspapers when we are in power!"
But Xu Wei stopped him and said: "We can't judge a person based on his thoughts. How many noble families have we massacred? How could these people not resent us? But if a person resents us, we will kill him. I'm afraid If we really want to kill all the powerful nobles in Daqian, we can't stop until we kill millions of people! When we want to judge a person, we can only judge him by his behavior. If he really commits a crime, we will arrest him."
Xu Wei didn't want to start a literary prison in his own hands. He knew that although these people might affect some people, as long as the lives of the people in Daqian are getting better and better, and more and more people are literate among the people, everyone will also The true colors of these people are becoming clearer and clearer. With the popularization of the Internet in previous lives, how many famous officials and generals in history have had their dark histories dug up, and how many big Vs have become the butt of jokes!
Xu Wei shook his head after reading the book in his hand. It was far worse than what he read on the Internet. Not a single pleasant point was mentioned, but it was basically a tragic ending. This would make it hard to make a living in the Internet literary world, and it was difficult to read. Trouble, they are basically all in classical Chinese. With Xu Wei's level of education, he can only read a rough story. Ordinary people may not be able to understand it. If there are four famous works like this, the world of Daqian still needs to evolve. More than a hundred years later, Xu Wei never thought that because of his relationship, scar literature would flourish thousands of years in advance.
Although the newspaper industry in Daqian is developed, there is very little current news, and there is no reporter industry. For Xu Wei, it would be too wasteful for the newspaper to only cover some news about romance and stocks. If these reporters can supervise local officials , this is equivalent to helping the country to create countless free supervisory censors.
After having this idea, Xu Wei found Xiangkai, and after Xiangkai got the idea from Xu Wei, he also found many of his disciples, former officials, relatives and friends.
"Master, is this really possible? Isn't this already interfering in the government's affairs? Will the government ask us to do this?" Guoyuan worriedly asked. Although he was a disciple of Zheng Xuan, he came from a poor family. After Qingzhou and Xuzhou were annexed by Xu Wei , he did not follow Cao Cao to Crab Island, but stayed in Jixian.
Xiangkai helped him find a job as the principal of Jixian Primary School for him. Now he manages the No. 26 Primary School in Jixian County. He usually publishes some articles in newspapers and can be said to be a feature writer. And in Daqian Culture He is quite popular, whether he is a private teacher or writes some articles, he can earn a lot of money, so Guoyuan is particularly worried that the newspaper produced by Xiangkai will disturb his current life, and he does not want to escape to a deserted island overseas. The life of primitive people.
Xiangkai said with a smile: "The ruler has always wanted to strengthen the supervision of officials. He has also always wanted us councilors to supervise the officials of the entire Daqian court. Now we are just adding more people to supervise officials. If we can really catch a few A corrupt official might be happier if he is in power!"
A few days later, the Daqian Mirror appeared in the lives of the people of Daqian. This newspaper did not write anything, nor did it publish any stock news. Instead, it specialized in publishing various policies of the Daqian court. Where else could the people be affected by it? Grievances, where officials are lawless and bully tribesmen, these news will be quickly published in newspapers.
Then the supervisory censor led by Guo Daxian would come to the place where the newspaper published it, arrest local officials, and clear up the grievances of the local people. Three such examples occurred in a row, which suddenly caused a sensation among the entire Daqian people. Everyone regards the Daqian Mirror as a private censor. This chapter has been completed!
