The big discussion was still going on, and the enthusiasm of the ministers and scholars did not really stop because of the court's call to stop.
Because people found that in addition to reporting the arrival of the imperial court, Cuju Express was a good place to express their opinions.
The imperial court called a halt, but the imperial newspaper no longer published relevant articles, but the Cuju Express did not stop. This gave Shilin a channel to vent his enthusiasm.
In the original court debate, most people did not have the opportunity to speak. Even if they were from the same school, only those with strong adaptability would be selected. But this time it is different. With the land of Cuju Express, anyone can demarcate it.
Rake a few fences.
In Cuju Express, you don't need to be an official, and you don't have to worry about whether it will be in line with your own school of thought. You can say whatever you think.
Therefore, although the big discussion was officially stopped, the response was actually even greater.
Cuju Express was originally a low-profile thing, but because of this big discussion, it was officially taken seriously by Shilin.
"The official family, Shilin still has no intention of stopping, but has further expanded the discussion. It is not limited to the discussion of articles signed by the official family, but even extends to the praise and criticism of the many shortcomings of the dynasty. At present, in addition to articles on debates about personal and collective interests
, the others have not been published for the time being. What to do next, I still hope the government will get a charter."
The eldest son of the second room of the Cao family was so bent that his head almost touched the ground.
He was summoned to the palace by the officials, and he felt anxious. He had received an order to let go of the publication. Although the imperial court had stopped reporting, he was reluctant to report the huge sales of Cuju Express, so he never followed the imperial court's lead.
I blame myself for being greedy for money. If I had known better, I would not have been in trouble with the court.
No matter how the market or the court commented on the official family, he was really afraid.
The Cao family is very clear about all the deeds of the Guan family. He knows that the Guan family is not what the court officials see on the surface.
"Husband, this is a good thing. The reason why I didn't notify the other side to stop is to achieve this result. Very good!"
"However, to always publish the current article under the name of Cuju Express is a bit misleading, and the name is not worthy of the reality."
"Let's see... the focus of the Cuju Express report should still be on the Cuju competition, along with some trivial matters that are of greater concern to the market. As for current affairs, let's publish another report."
"It's called "Shi Lun". The new paper targets mainly scholars and officials. The content can be praising or criticizing the government's governance, or discussing the court's shortcomings. It can even open a special page to introduce new things in the country.
and inventions and creations, as well as introducing local customs, customs and products.”
"Bring me any manuscripts that involve armaments, border defense, and other matters that have unclear political tendencies. Remember not to publish them blindly, and you must strictly limit them."
When he founded newspapers in his early years, Zhao Xi's purpose was very clear. He wanted to control the mouthpiece.
There has never been a suitable opportunity, but I didn't expect that this time it would be unintentional.
Some things just happen naturally, which is much better than forcing them.
With the foreshadowing of the earlier court defense and this big discussion, there must be many people who want to speak out, whether in the scholarly community or in the court.
Founding the publication of "Shi Lun" and opening up such a position would also allow one to understand the true thoughts of scholars and officials in the dynasty.
As for counting on the Yushitai...~let's forget it. They all follow the rules and have interests. They don't speak from the bottom of their hearts. They serve interests.
"Xiao Wang Shao..."
Wang Shao controlled border affairs and had completed his speech. Before leaving, Zhao Xi needed to hear his thoughts on specific operations.
It can also be said to be face-to-face instruction, just like giving guidance on newspaper matters.
Wang Shao was led into the Qinzheng Hall by the eunuch... This was the first time he had a separate opportunity to meet an official.
In the same year, some of the top three Jinshi could meet with officials alone. It was only when Lu Huiqing served as the envoy that officials planned Dali that they had such an opportunity.
Wang Shao was excited. From the official summons alone, we could know that the officials were indeed optimistic about his "Pingrong Policy".
"Zichun, I have read your "Pingrong Policy" carefully, and it is very insightful. The operation is likely to be successful. Of course, there is also the possibility of failure and arousing Xixia's alarm. How do you plan to proceed, do you have a charter?"
Except for specific court meetings, there are no requirements for kneeling in the imperial court. Zhao Xi doesn't like that either.
Wang Shao entered the door, said hello, and bowed until Zhao Xi asked.
"Returning to the official family, the method of pacifying the army is nothing more than to pay equal attention to suppression and appeasement. Although I have experience in border affairs and have some understanding of the tribes in Hehuang, but times have changed, I still need to experience it personally after I take office before I can make any calculations..."
"I believe that tribes with many string controllers, tribes with great leader prestige and relatively strong power should focus on suppression and pacification as a supplement. And those tribes that control a small but critical area should focus on pacification and pacification as a supplement.
To assist..."
These are general terms. Even if it is a field that he is familiar with, Wang Shao cannot come up with a detailed strategy at this time.
Zhao Xi didn't want to ask Wang Shao to elaborate on the details. If so, he would have to consider whether to leave the matter to Wang Shao.
Rhetoric and paper talk are not suitable for something that requires solid advancement.
"Zichun, when it comes to the tribes in Tubo, in the final analysis, there should be only two things that really determine their aspirations. One is the racial group, that is, the ethnic group; the other is interests."
"Based on the border officer's report and your analysis of the situation in Hehuang, the Tibetans in the Hehuang area should have a problem with their ethnic identity, and the root of the problem should be interests."
"This also provides opportunities for your Pingrong. Of course, they will also unite again on external issues. Therefore, you still have a long way to go."
"Since the Tubo tribe is divided because of interests, you can focus on the interests and implement Pingrong."
"Before leaving, I suggest you go to Gongfang City and make contact with the relevant personnel of Gongfang City's wool procurement. I will order Gongfang City to contact you."
"There is another one. I heard that the Western Region is suitable for cotton growth. You can also try it in the Hehuang area. You need to contact Sinong Temple..."
Cotton cloth is available now, but it is very rare and prohibitively expensive.
Zhao Xi couldn't remember whether there was a cotton industry in Hehuang in later generations. Judging from the climatic conditions, it should be possible.
The key is that the place is vast and sparsely populated, with large tracts of wasteland available.
Zhao Xi has always considered not only the region, but also the industry.
The land policy of Guochao has created the current predicament of Guochao. From the beginning, Zhao Xi has been open source, using interests to guide certain classes of Guochao to look outward, and changing Guochao's stubborn ideas bit by bit.
The appeal of interests does not distinguish between classes. Even the most upright scholar-bureaucrats will find it difficult to remain indifferent when faced with interests.
A strong armament is the foundation, winning battles is courage, and in the eyes of those countries and dynasties, the benefits produced by the wilderness are the introduction, and the ambition of the entire court to expand is the goal.
Just like the Dongchuan Mining City made the court agree to the Dali plan.
