Just after the Shangyuan Dynasty, various government offices began to operate. The New Year atmosphere was swept away, and a gloomy and depressing air enveloped the entire Guanzhong.
All the officials and merchants were cautious and cautious, fearing that they would be spotted by others if they made a mistake. The tragedy that happened at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion years ago has been spread throughout Guanzhong. Everyone knows that Yin Fangjun of Jingzhao was killed.
He received the petition from the old woman of the Ding family and wanted to investigate the case of the Ding family's granddaughter who died of illness for no apparent reason.
The defendant in this case is none other than the Yuan family, one of the "Eight Pillar Kingdoms"...
Who among the people in Guanzhong doesn't know how glorious and powerful the "Eight Pillar Kingdom" was back then?
Even if His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is wise and powerful, no one dares to underestimate the Yuan family, who has never been outstanding!
Fang Jun, the most popular person in the DPRK, the "Eight Pillar Kingdom", and the Yuan clan, the backbone of the Guanlong Group, the collision between the two will definitely be as shocking as an earthly dragon turning over! Anyone who has nothing to do with you will get out of the way early.
I'm afraid that the strong fluctuations generated by the collision will affect me, and disaster will fall from the sky...
Unlike the management businessmen who were concerned about their own interests, ordinary people who had no interest in the matter overwhelmingly supported Fang Jun.
Who doesn’t know Fang Erlang’s title of “Buddha of all families”?
Who doesn't know that Fang'er Bangchui specializes in catching and beating up dandies who do evil things, but he is considerate of the people and benefits the common people?
The servants of the Fang family were also worried.
Although their Erlang had a bad temper and a foul mouth, and was sometimes known as the most prodigal son of the Tang Dynasty, they still hoped from the bottom of their hearts that their Erlang would live a long life, have many children and be blessed, and be a prince for generations to come.
As long as the people in Guanzhong work, who doesn't look forward to the stars and the moon to work in the Fang family? Not to mention that both the head and the servants of the Fang family have three meals a day, and they are not stingy in rewards.
The entire Fang family has the heart of a Bodhisattva from top to bottom.
Needless to say, the head of the house, Fang Xuanling, is a realistic model of a moral gentleman. When the maid wiped the desk, she accidentally broke the top-grade inkstone. Fang Xuanling just whispered a few words to pay attention to it in the future, and said with a smile
Don't worry, don't we have a God of Wealth who can make money in our family? The Duan Inkstone is not worth mentioning, just let Erlang buy a few more.
If this was placed in another home, half of my life would be lost...
Mistress Lu seems to be fierce, but in fact she is the most kind-hearted person in the family.
When the maids and maids got into trouble, she would just nod her head and reprimand them loudly. When one of the servants suffered from illness or disaster, she would always generously reward them with some money to help those in need.
The elder of the Fang family is a nerd and doesn't care about things at all. The eldest grandmother, Du, has a soft personality. She will shed a few tears when she sees the puppy in the house die...
As for Princess Gaoyang and Aunt Wu, they are even more good people.
Her Highness the Princess usually scolds people for not understanding the rules and being frivolous, but even after scolding her, she turned around and didn't even remember it. Aunt Wu was a little more fierce, but that was only for the stewards who had done something wrong.
When Aunt Wu was the housekeeper, everyone had to be cautious. If the servants did something wrong, she would give them gentle instructions. If the stewards did something wrong, the consequences would be serious, ranging from being whipped to being kicked out of the house.
.
But Aunt Wu has clear rewards and punishments, and even if she punishes anyone, she can make people convinced. How can a family like the Tang Dynasty have no rules at all?
There are not many servants in the Fang family, most of them are hired and hired.
In Fang Erlang's words, ordinary people really don't have the qualifications to be our servants!
What makes the servants and maids of other families the most jealous is that as long as the servants of the Fang family are not in the house, they can get two days of leave every month. The Fang family will use carriages to send the servants and maids who are on rotation back
Staying at home for two days...
This was an era when slave status was equivalent to that of ants. Slaves, like livestock, were the property of the master's family. Even hired slaves had to work as cattle and horses in wealthy families for many years. Except for their parents who were guarding the door of the house, they could only stay away from them through the gate.
Looking at one's own children from a distance and wanting to go back in an upright and honorable manner is simply a dream!
The maids and servants who can go out alone in the east and west cities of Chang'an must be from the Fang family, and they are the policemen patrolling the streets. When Marquis Wu sees someone who looks like a maidservant, he will first ask: "But he is a servant of the Fang family"? As long as
If that maid can show you a card belonging to the Fang family, the officials won't care about it and you can wander around as you please.
But if you can't get the cards, it will be a tragedy. In this era, slaves who leave the house without permission will be regarded as runaway slaves. If they are caught, they will be brought to justice. If they get dozens of cards, they will most likely be sent to mass burials.
Waiting to die...
Who wouldn't want such a family to be a prince for generations to come?
However, what surprised everyone was that Fang Jun did not attack the Yuan family like thunder after opening the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. Instead, he first announced the establishment of a "Zhenguan Newspaper" in the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.
Publish "Zhenguan Weekly"...
Then, something even more unexpected happened.
Liang Guogong, Da Sikong, Shangshu Zuopu Shefang Xuanling submitted their resignations!
For a moment, the temple shook, and both the government and the public were shocked!
Although Fang Xuanling is old and has lost energy in recent years, he is not yet old enough to beg for his remains and retire to the countryside, right? What's more, even if he really wants to resign and become an official, why should he do it in such a sensitive place?
node?
The battle between Fang Jun and the Guanlong Group has just heated up today, and the fight with the Yuan family is brewing. It is the time when Fang Xuanling is needed to support him and make suggestions. If he really becomes an official, wouldn't it mean that Fang Jun's arm will be cut off?
Although the emperor favored and trusted Fang Jun, in the final analysis, it was still for profit. How could his father spare no effort to analyze the pros and cons?
*****
On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, the first issue of "Zhenguan Weekly" was released.
Countless aristocratic families, distinguished relatives and even court officials are all waiting eagerly to see what kind of gadget Fang Jun, who has always made extraordinary moves, will come up with this time.
At three o'clock in the morning, when the "Zhenguan Weekly", which smelled of ink, was loaded onto a carriage from the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion for official publication, the whole city of Chang'an was shocked!
Is this a newspaper release?
It's like giving away money, it's like wasting money!
The finest bamboo paper is snow-white and pliable, and even a small official is reluctant to use it more than once. A newspaper consists of three sheets folded together. The glossy black and glossy Guange style handwriting on the newspaper is clear and round.
The selling price of these three pieces of bamboo paper alone is more than ten cents in the market. Add in the labor cost of copying the dense text, and the cost of a newspaper is at least thirty cents, right?
The price is only five cents!
There are many merchants in Chang'an City, and even those aristocratic families who claim to be heirlooms of farming and reading are actually used to doing business and calculating accounts. A rough calculation shows that this newspaper will lose at least twenty-five cents.
Of course, everyone knows that Fang Jun is rich. If he is willing to give his own money to the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, that is his business. Who cares about others?
But it can’t stand up to the huge circulation of Zhenguan Weekly!
How big is it?
Not only were the newsboys all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an hawking on the street, but every government agency directly under the imperial court had to subscribe, including teahouses, restaurants, shops, warehouses, and even brothels and Chu palaces.
This is not over yet!
The carriages running in all directions along the city gate and passing through the post station system of the Tang Dynasty will spread this issue of "Zhenguan Weekly" to all the prosperous cities in Guanzhong within ten days, and it will inevitably spread throughout the country with the circulation of merchants.
Tang!
Someone secretly calculated that the circulation of this issue of "Zhenguan Weekly" is absolutely impossible to be less than 10,000 copies! Publishing one issue will cost you 250 yuan, plus the labor cost of publishing, you will have to lose at least 500 yuan.
Pass!
Okay, that guy Fang Jun has a lot of money, he is a man known as the "God of Wealth", so this little money probably can't ruin the family...
When everyone sat down and read the contents of this newspaper carefully, everyone felt like they had found a treasure and were excited!
The first article at the beginning is what is called an "editorial".
The main author is the world-famous Confucian Kong Yingda!
Almost all the Confucian disciples in Chang'an City were excited!
Who is Kong Yingda?
Confucian sage, a generation of Confucian masters!
The former Imperial Academy minister was in charge of a country’s education, and he was also the prince’s teacher!
There was a praise among Confucian students: "Confucius in Guanxi has been around since then; Fusheng in Jinan has been revived since then!"
This shows how lofty Kong Yingda’s status in Confucianism is!
After getting excited, I naturally wanted to appreciate Kong Yingda’s wonderful writing.
On the title page of the article, in large pavilion style, it reads "The people are the foundation of the country, and the foundation is the foundation of the country"...
