Those tea guests were just chatting and talking about topics around them. How could they know what was happening thousands of miles away? Now after listening to this newspaper, I know what is happening outside. The first issue of this newspaper is full of big news.
Everyone enjoyed the tea, and no one paid and left. There was no way to get in or out of the teahouse. After a while, the new guests in the teahouse couldn't find a place to sit.
However, when these new guests heard the newspaper read by the teahouse owner, they were quickly attracted and stood by the stage one by one to listen.
After the boss finished reading the news, he went to read various comment articles that followed:
"On the Collapse of Fushe, the writer is Gongzi Buren. Last month, I heard the news of the collapse of Fushe, and I was very happy."
""Tianjin's new tax system benefits not only poor small farmers, but the whole of Tianjin", writer, Zitongshan native"
"Why is Fanjiazhuang so rich?", written by a goose. Yesterday, I heard someone ask me why Fanjiazhuang, which was previously unknown, is so rich."
Those comments quoted from many sources and analyzed in an orderly manner, which was far better than the daily discussions of the idle guests in the teahouse. Those idle guests had limited knowledge, how could they quote the classics and analyze the important events of the country and the country as well as these comments? The boss read the entire newspaper,
No one spoke in the teahouse for a long time. The tea guests seemed to be bombarded with important news and wonderful comments, and each of them still had something to say.
After a long while, the teahouse owner heard the tea guests yelling with satisfaction: "Boss, bring the copper basin to catch it, and you will be rewarded!"
"Yes! The boss brought a copper basin to accept the reward!"
The teahouse owner raised the copper basin used by the troupe to receive reward money, and saw the teahouse guests throwing out one penny or two penny one by one. In the end, when they were gathered together, the boss actually made more than fifty penny.
"Boss, when will you read the newspaper tomorrow? I'll come and have tea while you're reading the newspaper!"
"The boss will set a time and we will wait to hear tomorrow's Tianjin Daily!"
The teahouse owner made more than fifty cents after reciting it for an hour, and thought to himself that it was a good deal. However, it was too tiring for me to read it for my presbyopic eyes. If I find a literate kid with a loud voice to read it some other time, I can increase business for the teahouse.
The teahouse owner looked at the customers standing at the door who couldn't find seats, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will find someone with a loud voice to recite it, and I will recite it from morning to night!"
"good!"
"I will definitely come to listen to the report tomorrow!"

Feng Yuanyang, the new governor of Tianjin, looked at the Tianjin Daily in his hand and sighed.
Feng Yuanyang was promoted to the governor of Tianjin last month. He was originally from the Tianjin Middle Road Bingbei Road, and he also witnessed the process of Li Jizhen leading the civil servants to resist the tax, and the final dismal outcome. Feng Yuanyang was the Bingbei Road at that time and had nothing to do with land taxation.
He was not involved in any specific anti-tax action. But as a clean figure, Feng Yuanyang saw with his own eyes the scene of the world's scholars retreating steadily in front of Li Zhi.
The Ming Dynasty's tradition of using civil society to control military affairs has been increasingly challenged over the years. But what really caused this tradition to collapse and threaten to collapse was Li Zhi's move in Tianjin. Li Zhi used his entire army to kill the governor.
With the general soldiers collecting local taxes, the advantage of civilian officials over military attachés has disappeared. After Li Zhi's struggle, military attachés all over the world can learn from his example and no longer bow to civilian officials.
With Li Zhi in Tianjin, Feng Yuanyang was one of the ten thousand people who did not want to be the governor of Tianjin.
On the surface, the governor of Tianjin was still the chief official in Tianjin, but in fact he had no power. He had been ousted by Li Zhi. Li Zhi could kill anyone he wanted in Tianjin. Which civil servant would dare not listen to Li Zhi?
Feng Yuanyang didn't know how he would get along with Li Zhi in the future. In short, he had to take the initiative to visit Li Zhi at the General Military Mansion half a month ago, and respectfully handed over the official ceremony and presented the gift list.
At that time, Li Zhi said very directly, asking Feng Yuanyang to be a peacemaker and not to worry about too many things, so that he could enjoy a peaceful life. Feng Yuanyang didn't want to lose his head, so how dare he not agree? At that time, he nodded obediently.
In Tianjin, my surname is Li.
Feng Yuanyang was a little angry, and he had been considering ways to be transferred out of Tianjin these days. But before he could catch his breath, Li Zhi launched the Tianjin Daily.
Feng Yuanyang only took one look and knew that this was Li Zhi's weapon to control public opinion in Tianjin.
Feng Yuanyang opened the newspaper, read the news in the front, and then the editorial in the back, and saw an article "Tianjin's new tax system will benefit not only poor farmers, but the entire Tianjin." The author of that article is called "Zipongshan"
"People", but Feng Yuanyang knew at a glance that this was a propaganda article written by a scholar invited by Li Zhi.
"On the surface, Tianjin's tax revenue hurts the gentry and benefits the common people. But in fact, the whole of Tianjin has been fair and the whole of Tianjin has benefited."
"In the past, no matter how much wheat was harvested, it was stolen by the government officials, and the common people did not think about how to plant good fields. Now, the common people no longer have to suffer from exploitation by the government, and their enthusiasm for production has been greatly improved. The common people will try their best to fertilize the land and grow good crops.
In order to gain more. On the other hand, although the gentry had to pay land taxes, they no longer had to bribe or argue with government officials. Under the guidance of clear and stable land taxes, the gentry would also find the advantages of building water conservancy projects and cultivating new fields.
Possible."
"It is foreseeable that Tianjin's grain production will usher in steady growth."
"Food is the foundation of the country. If grain production increases, Tianjin's stability and prosperity can be expected. If the people do not have to worry about making ends meet, thieves will not be able to carry hungry people in Tianjin, and Tianjin will not be subject to thieves. Xing Guobo has single-handedly
The gentry of the world fought fiercely, fighting for their own strength, but the whole of Tianjin benefited."
After reading this "commentary", Feng Yuanyang found that he actually felt that it made some sense. These comments were written in vernacular, without writing obscure parallel prose or showing off literary talent. The principles are simple and easy to understand, and I am afraid even ordinary people can understand them.
.Feng Yuanyang secretly said that if such comments are circulated in the market, how much influence will they have in guiding public opinion?
In the future, the public opinion in Tianjin will probably not be controlled by scholars, but by Xing Guobo Li Zhi.
With this newspaper, whoever Li Zhi wants to attack or disgrace in the future is not just a matter of a word? Civil servants rely on their reputation to succeed. Li Zhi can destroy a civil servant's reputation with just one sentence. What other civil servant dares to do so?
Against Li Zhi?
How come this Li Zhi always has so many new ideas, and each one of them has a remarkable effect. Li Zhi has already killed two Tianjin governors, Cha Dengbei and Li Jizhen. As the new governor, he has not yet established himself, so it is better not to fight with Li Zhi. Li Zhi
Whatever Zhi said, he just held his nose and agreed.
Feng Yuanyang secretly thought that it was time for him to go to the General Military Mansion to walk around. He should go to the General Military Mansion more diligently and let Li Zhi know that he was not against him, so that Li Zhi would not think about him.
