641 [Temporary Regulations on the Administration of Newspapers and Periodicals]
The provincial examination in Zhejiang is very difficult. Xu Wei, who was known as a child prodigy since his childhood, became a scholar at the age of 20. Then he failed the provincial examination eight times and could not even pass the examination.
The same is true for Ma Sancai, who was still a scholar in his thirties.
Historically, he and his uncle both became Jinshi in the middle of the Ding Dynasty, a full sixty years apart!
Ma Sancai has been a little reluctant to study recently, and has been praised by scholars in Zhejiang. He was born in a wealthy family in Deqing. The two major news items in "Shilin Monthly" were both written by him with brilliant writing. People in Hangzhou called him "
"The censor in white clothes" has the meaning of being the uncrowned king of later generations.
The Confucian shirt is white, and the skin is also very white.
Although the Ma family no longer believes in green religion and has been mixed for several generations, they still have some white characteristics. Their ancestor is Pingzhang of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the Yuan Dynasty.
On this day, Ma Sancai was writing an article in the newspaper office. Suddenly a friend came over and said, "Brother Sixen, someone from the court is coming. You should go home quickly to avoid it!"
Ma Sancai was startled, but he forced himself to calm down and said: "I have not committed any crime, so why should I avoid people in the court?"
The friend reminded: "The cabinet ministers are trying to reform the law. If you write an article to oppose the reform, you are very guilty. Although you don't sign your name, who in Hangzhou doesn't know that you are the 'White Censor'?"
Ma Sancai's throat was dry and he swallowed subconsciously: "Everything I wrote is true, and I didn't make it up. Even the minister of the cabinet should be reasonable!"
The friend asked back: "Brother Sixen, have you forgotten the methods used by Prime Minister Wang to governor Zhejiang?"
Ma Sancai was very smart and said reluctantly: "The Prime Minister always talks about reason."
"Whoever has a high official position will be justified." The friend was still trying to persuade him.
Suddenly, a group of officials came to the newspaper office. They rushed in and asked, "Who is Ma Sancai?"
The friend said: "Oops, I can't leave!"
Ma Sancai was so frightened that his legs became weak and he spoke tremblingly: "I...I am."
A young official came over: "I am Xiong Guo, the new Zhejiang patrol censor. I came here to see the white censor on the order of the Prime Minister."
It's over, it's all over.
Ma Sancai's face was as pale as earth, and his tongue was dry as he said, "I don't know who the king is..."
Xiong Guo took out a scroll and said: "Before leaving the capital, Prime Minister Wang told me that the reform is not a disorder of the law. Those who harm the people in the name of the reform are all those who violate the law. Brother Ma's article is well written, Mr. Wang
I hope Brother Ma can continue his efforts. This is a gift from the King to Brother Ma."
Ma Sancai's scroll turned out to be a calligraphy treasure.
"An iron shoulder bears moral responsibility, and a ruthless hand writes articles - presented to Ma Sancai, Wang Yuan and Shaofeng, the censors in white clothes of Zhejiang Province, on the first day of June in the third year of the lunar month."
In just that moment, Ma Sancai rose from hell to heaven, and his whole body seemed to be floating in the clouds and mist.
Ma Sancai suddenly straightened his back, cupped his hands towards the north, and said with emotion: "I will definitely live up to the words of the king. I will use the bare pen in my hand to bring justice to the people of the world!"
Xiong Guo admired him and said, "Brother Ma is a true righteous man."
Ma Sancai put the scroll away. This thing could be used as a family heirloom. He couldn't help but ask, "How will the imperial court handle the affairs of Deqing County?"
Xiong Guo said: "Except for Zhejiang Tixue, Zhejiang's inspectors and deputy envoys were demoted to three levels. The inspectors and censors in northern Zhejiang were dismissed from office. The county magistrate of Deqing was dismissed from office and sent to prison for interrogation. The punishment was determined according to the crime."
Even if Song Ling'er didn't take the newspaper to Beijing, Wang Yuan would still receive the news.
Jiang Yao, Zhejiang's political envoy to the left, who was building a seawall, once again wrote a small report and made it clear what happened in Deqing County.
The magistrate of Huzhou was demoted to the position of Tongzhi of Huzhou by Wang Yuan.
Tang Shunzhi, who had made great contributions to Qingtian in Shaoxing, was immediately transferred to the post of magistrate of Huzhou and was responsible for the affairs of Qingtian in Huzhou.
At the same time, Huang Guangsheng, the magistrate of Changxing County, was awarded the rank of "Chengshi Lang" because he took the lead in clearing fields in Zhejiang and was responsible for making no mistakes. He was transferred to Qingtian in Deqing County next door. After Huzhou completed the whipping law reform, Huang Guangsheng immediately returned to Beijing.
Debriefing and reuse.
When the sea is flowing, heroes will show their true colors.
Huang Guangsheng was just an ordinary Jinshi. In the third month of his stay in the capital to observe politics, he was sent to Changxing as a county magistrate. As a result, he became the first magistrate in Zhejiang to complete Qingtian.
Historically, this man was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Hubu and Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He was also a water conservancy expert who improved the seawall construction technology since the Song Dynasty. He also rescued Hai Rui, and Hai Rui's move to build a dam aroused the anger of Jiajing. At that time, including Xu Jie
Inside, many people are trying to save Hai Rui, but the best they can do is to save Hai Rui from death. He will inevitably lose his official position or be exiled.
As the Minister of Punishment, Huang Guangsheng insisted on convicting Hai Rui of death penalty, and he did so out of filial piety and ethics in the name of "a son scolding his father." In this way, Hai Rui was cleared of other capital crimes.
, once Jiajing is killed, he will be a fool who poisons tigers and eats children. Demotion will not work, nor will he be exiled, because the Ministry of Punishment has determined the death penalty and is determined not to change the result, leaving Jiajing completely unable to deal with it, so he can only lock Hai Rui in prison.
Delicious and delicious.
By the way, Huang Guangsheng is also good at leading troops in battles. When there are border troubles in the north and south, he dispatches troops and generals to deal with them easily.
Gold will always shine, and now Huang Guangsheng has fallen into the eyes of Wang Yuan because of Qingtian.
Equally outstanding was Wang Yiqi, the right deputy governor of the capital, who supervised Qingtian in Huguang as governor. In two years, he traveled to one-third of the prefectures and counties in Huguang and pushed these prefectures and counties to seriously carry out reforms.
Wang Yiqi was the same year as Wang Yuan. We had no friendship before, but this time he suddenly appeared as a pioneer in reform.
Historically, Jiajing intended to send troops to regain the Hetao, and this person immediately supported the governors of the three sides to regain the Hetao. Suddenly Jiajing changed his mind again, and this person quickly opposed the recapture of the Hetao, swallowing everything he said. Then the governors of the three sides were cut off by Jiajing, and this
He succeeded him as the governor of the three sides, and at the same time kept the border defense affairs in order. He died of illness on the border, and the army and the people spontaneously went on strike to mourn him. The people, soldiers, and Mongolians all thought of him.
This guy Wang Yiqi is somewhat similar to Wang Qiong.
He likes to speculate and has a very low moral bottom line, but as long as he is asked to do something, he can exceed the task.
Such people cannot be chief ministers, but can only be ministers.
Wang Yuan likes to use these two types of people in his current reform. One is like Huang Guangsheng, who sincerely supports the reform and has strong practical ability; the other is like Wang Yiqi, who purely wants to cater to the chief minister and is also very practical.
…
After asking about the outcome of the court's handling, Ma Sancai felt even more comfortable.
He was just a scholar. He wrote two articles to ask for orders, and actually got rid of a bunch of officials. He had already earned the reputation of "Censor in White".
Xiong Guo asked: "Who is the owner of this newspaper?"
Ma Sancai quickly replied: "The owner is Mr. Feng. He used to be a minister in Nanjing. He resigned and returned home last year to establish a newspaper office. At this moment, Mr. Feng is probably fishing and having a banquet."
Xiong Guo threw out an official document: "Give this to the owner of the library and ask him to report it quickly. You can take a look at it yourself. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
Ma Sancai sent Xiong Guo out of the newspaper office and then began to read the official document carefully - "Interim Regulations on the Management of Newspapers and Periodicals".
All reading materials published regularly are newspapers and periodicals.
If you want to publish newspapers and periodicals, you must have a newspaper office. The owner of the newspaper should go to the prefectures and counties in advance to apply for registration and pay a newspaper deposit of 100 yuan.
Once there is a problem with the content published in a newspaper, the government has the right to deduct the deposit or even ban the publication directly. After the deposit is deducted, one hundred yuan must be made up, otherwise the newspaper will not be allowed to be published.
The content contained in newspapers must not violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty or harm public order and good customs.
The content contained in newspapers must be marked with large characters as to the subject matter, such as novels, poems, lyrics, advertisements, news, etc.
For news topics, the author must sign with his real name and is not allowed to use a pen name instead.
News articles are not allowed to spread rumors. They must state the time, place and people, and must state the cause, process and results of the incident. These six elements are indispensable, otherwise it will be regarded as spreading rumors and causing trouble, and all states, prefectures and counties may deduct the newspaper deposit for spreading rumors.
If the consequences are serious, not only will the newspaper be banned, but the owner and author will also be sent to judicial proceedings.
"hiss!"
Ma Sancai took a breath of cold air. Mr. Wang Ge wants to control newspapers all over the world. He must be careful when writing news in newspapers from now on.
At least, you can't be like the censor who hears about something. You must understand the matter clearly before you dare to write an article and submit it to the newspaper. Otherwise, you will be punished by the government.
Over in Nanjing, where the opposition parties are concentrated, they also received this official document.
