Yuan Keding has been working hard to push Lao Yuan to the throne of emperor. He thinks that he has dealt with most of his opponents. The only thing that gives him a headache is the academic world. These guys write articles every day, criticizing the monarch and the constitution, and they also use the spearhead of their attacks.
Pointing to the shortcomings of Yuan Shikai's rule over the years, the Twenty-One Questions and even the betrayal of Emperor Guangxu were brought out.
Faced with the turbulent public opinion, Prince Yuan was helpless. He also found some imperial literati, including Yang Du, and asked them to write articles to launch a counterattack. The result was little effect, and they were scolded bloody.
Zhang Tinglan's scolding of Yang Shuqing was published in the newspapers. Yuan Keding seemed to have suddenly found a savior. He wanted to ask him to show him a clear path and completely regain control of public opinion. However, Zhang Tinglan suggested that he fight head-on, but Yuan Keding had long lost confidence.
.
"Ting Lan, it's not like I haven't thought about debating with them and starting debates in newspapers. The result is always a huge defeat, so I want you to think of a better way for me."
"My lord, these scholars are not just one or two. If you don't have enough talents available, I can't argue with them even if I am exhausted. In my opinion, I might as well use administrative power to shut them up.
For example, we should formulate press and publication regulations to eliminate those nonsense small publishing houses, and then implement news control for large publishing houses. There must be regulations on what articles can be published and what cannot be published. If regulations are violated, punishment will be imposed.
.”
News management is a common method in all countries, and China is now divided and various voices are flooding the society, which is not conducive to concentration of power. Therefore, news control is imperative. After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, Yuan Keding also fell into deep thought, but he shook his head again
He shook his head.
"Tinglan, if you do this, you are afraid that some people will say that we suppress freedom of speech, which will only attract greater opposition!"
Zhang Tinglan looked at Yuan Keding, who looked embarrassed, and felt very contemptuous in his heart. This eldest son typically wanted to eat but was afraid of being burned. He wanted to be an emperor, but he did not have the courage and courage to make an iron fist. It is no wonder that Lao Yuan only made eighty
In the Three-Day Emperor's Dream, Yuan Keding perfectly interpreted the word cheating.
"Young Master, freedom of speech does not mean just saying what you want to say. They have to be responsible for their words." Zhang Tinglan said it for this reason, but Yuan Keding still looked hesitant. It was completely impossible to hold up the wall.
.
"Young Master, I have another way to deceive others. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?"
"You might as well tell me what you can do!"
"My lord, if you can't control the scholar's mouth, you can cover the president's eyes!"
Yuan Keding's eyes suddenly lit up: "I'm afraid this won't work. My dad reads newspapers every day and it has become a habit."
"You can let the president see what you want to see. Why don't you do something in the newspapers?" Zhang Tinglan seemed to have heard that Yuan Keding printed a bunch of fake newspapers in order to persuade Yuan Shikai. Old Yuan saw that they all supported him.
He was enthroned, so he was very happy. As a result, newspapers criticizing him were still flying all over the sky.
Yuan Keding frowned, turned around on the ground a few times, suddenly smiled brightly, patted Zhang Tinglan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Tinglan, you have a good idea. Later, I will print a few newspapers for my father separately, so that he can
I won’t be able to read those nasty articles anymore.”
The more Yuan Keding thought about it, the happier he became: "Tinglan, this is a great idea. Just stay in Beijing and be responsible for advising me. When the president is promoted to a higher level, you will be the prince's prime minister!"
Faced with the promise of the prince, Zhang Tinglan was not happy at all. This guy was just making fun of his father. He didn't think about how easy it was to sit on the throne of the emperor. His father personally kicked out the orphans and widows.
, if the hidden dangers are not eliminated, even if you become emperor, you will not be able to sit still.
Yuan Keding ignored all this and went directly to print a special newspaper for Lao Yuan. Yuan Shikai was a traitor all his life, but in the end he was deceived by his son. It is really interesting to think about it.
However, Zhang Tinglan soon stopped laughing. His remarks were praised by many people after they were first published in the newspapers. Overnight, Yang Shuqing's reputation was tarnished. But then things took a turn, and the newspapers began to cover the ground.
There were articles that were unfavorable to Zhang Tinglan, and these people even involved Lao Yuan.
They said how could a young man know so many foreign anecdotes, that he could tell everything at random, and that he also knew about Yang Shuqing's family situation. It was obvious that this was premeditated, that they investigated in advance, and then instigated a young man to charge into battle. Then they said
Zhang Tinglan advocates science and engineering education and advocates hard work. In fact, it makes everyone dumb, deaf, and a tool like cattle and horses that can only work but cannot think.
It is a measure to fool the people in the new era. Who wants the people to become stupid? It is obviously Yuan Shikai, President Yuan. He wants to be the emperor and is afraid of the world's public opinion, so he wants to use a young man to slander Professor Yang Shuqing.
To slander new ideas, as the saying goes, it is easy to dodge an open gun but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. This is how Yang Shuqing was calculated.
Soon these claims filled the newspapers, and the focus of the attack shifted from Zhang Tinglan, an unknown person, to Yuan Shikai. People like Zhang Tinglan were stunned after seeing these reports.
"Brother Tinglan, what do these guys mean? It's a crime to be sentimental and knowledgeable. It's simply unreasonable for them to just use this to their fullest extent!"
Zhang Xueliang looked at these newspapers and looked dumbfounded. These scholars are so powerful. Zhang Tinglan won the first game, but he was moved back later. They no longer bothered to talk to Zhang Tinglan, an unknown junior. They
Use full firepower and attack Yuan Shikai directly.
"Han Qing, haven't you understood? I told Yang Shuqing back then that if you can't defeat your opponent in business, you have to discredit them morally. This is the method they are using now!"
"Indeed, they didn't say whether the content of your speech was right or wrong. They said it was instigated by someone. It turned into a conspiracy. That guy Yang Shuqing was also passed over and became a victim. I'm afraid that after a while, he will appear again.
A capable person comes out to deceive people like a dog."
The reason why things turned out like this is that Zhang Tinglan poked a sore spot among these scholars. Zhang Tinglan questioned Yang Shuqing's method of doing knowledge and cited a large number of examples to counterattack. In fact, many scholars are like this now. They rely on examples.
A few specious examples and then a hasty conclusion.
If Zhang Tinglan's statement is widely accepted by society, these scholars will be in trouble. They have to investigate statistics every day, consult academic journals, understand the latest research results, and use complex mathematical models to analyze data. This work is really too troublesome.
, they don’t want to be burdened with this.
In addition, Zhang Tinglan advocates science and engineering. If the country really does this, it will mean that education funds will be tilted towards science and engineering. This will undoubtedly touch the literati's cheese, and they are absolutely unwilling to accept it.
Of course, Zhang Tinglan pointed out that what made them hate the most was that they could not meet the old moral standards. If you want to curse others, you must first make sure that you have no problems. If there are moral problems, how can you curse others? In addition, Zhang Tinglan also exposed the Western society
This shortcoming is simply digging up the ancestral graves of these scholars and driving them almost crazy.
In fact, literati like Yang Shuqing have existed since ancient times. Their method is very simple, which is to first establish a perfect image, and then compare it with reality and say how dark society is. Before the Opium War, they used the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties as
Benchmark, in fact, everyone knows that the three dynasties with slavery really have so many advantages and can they really surpass all previous dynasties!
It was obviously a joke, but these celebrities took advantage of people's reluctance to expose the shortcomings of their ancestors. Even the emperor was led by their noses. After the Opium War, it was obviously no longer possible to talk about the rule of three generations.
out-of-date.
Therefore, they set the West as the perfect target, and then randomly capture the dark side of China and say what they think of the West, regardless of whether the West is really as good as they say. This kind of work is too simple and is not used at all.
What do you think? Because China is backward, the harder they criticize, the greater their reputation will be, and the more they go too far, the more support they will get.
Zhang Tinglan obviously saw through their methods and exposed them. As a result, he touched the sore point of these literati. Ancient China was not that bad, and Western society was not that good either. This still allowed these people to curse and make ends meet.
Ah. Destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents. After these scholars realized the lethality of Zhang Tinglan's views.
They couldn't sit still, so they launched a massive crusade, vowing to suppress Zhang Tinglan's views and ensure their authority and jobs.
"Han Qing, Old Yuan can't do anything about these scholars, and we have nothing to do. But we all have to pay attention. One day, if we really want to take charge of the government, we must not be deceived by these scholars, and we must truly serve the majority of the bottom class of this country.
The common people should think about ways to increase their well-being!"
Zhang Xueliang nodded vigorously. While they were talking, Lao Zhang walked in with a smile, holding a document in his hand. He threw it on the table and said with a smile: "Tinglan, take a look, British guy."
Agree to cooperate with us!"
The efficiency during the war was really extraordinary. After Zhu Erdian notified the British Consulate in Fengtian, they quickly inspected several factories mentioned by Zhang Tinglan and talked with Wang Yongjiang, although they still looked down on Fengtian's weak foundation.
, but they also admit that Fengtian has certain investment value.
After Zhu Erdian received the report, he quickly contacted the country and promoted the cooperation plan. The first batch of orders amounted to half a million pounds. In addition, the United Kingdom promised to provide Fengtian with a batch of machines to help expand the canning factory and increase production.
Break through one million as soon as possible, and also promised to assist a power plant!
When Zhang Tinglan saw this, her face showed a look of joy, she finally had a chance to show off her talents!
