Chapter 334 Scroll C is of extraordinary significance

  The selection of the second issue of "Internal Reference" made Feng Ziying painstakingly.

In just ten days, nearly 20 articles were received, including the comments, interpretations and derivations of the previous three articles by the officials of the Six Departments, and some of them made their own way from some of the contents of these three articles. Those who are looking for propositions to write articles, of course, are mostly written by this group of scholars and Jinshi, including some editors and reviewers in the Imperial Academy.

   Of course there is a difference here.

   "Ziying, do you mean that these articles are anonymous?" Both Xu Xie and Hou Xun were puzzled, "Why are they anonymous?"

"Brother Zixun, Brother Ruogu, do you think it is appropriate to write articles signed by Xiao Shangshu here?" Feng Ziying smiled slightly, "Our publication was originally created to represent some ideals and aspirations of our Jinshi Jinshi. We are different from officials who have been in office for several years. We don't have so many constraints and burdens, so we can write things according to our own ideas, but they are different. The articles written by Mr. Xiao are representative Is he himself, the Ministry of War, or the court? My brother’s understanding, if you want to publish it, you can publish it, and those with official status are all anonymous, so it only represents personal opinions, and this can also avoid unnecessary troubles for our publication,... "

  Xu Xie hesitated for a moment, "Ziying, this court can't help but speak out, and everyone can write a letter to make a speech, so anonymous but..."

"Brother Zixun, you didn't understand what I meant. The purpose of anonymity is not to say what you are afraid of, but to prevent officials from influencing others' impressions when they read it. If a cabinet elder signs an article, will the following be Do you think this is the attitude of the cabinet?" Feng Ziying explained patiently.

"Actually, in my original intention, I don't accept the articles of these in-service officials. I just accept and publish the articles of Jinke Scholars who have not officially entered the official ranks. They don't have so many scruples, and they are more vigorous and impactful. But we wrote articles, But it’s not appropriate to allow others to criticize and refute, because we don’t understand the reason, so we open our hearts and open our doors to accept advice,…”

   "Then Ziying, do you mean that people like Guanshan Zhang and Zhou Zhanyuan can also post on it?" Xu Xi thought thoughtfully, "What about other scholars who are not in office?"

"Of course it can, but we have to grasp a measure. The reason why we created such a publication is to make use of our background of Jinshi, experience of observing politics, and unfettered spirit, plus our relatively abundant time and resources. Energy is the only way to do this, if you are reduced to lay scholars or serving officials, it will be meaningless, so we must strive to focus on our Jinshi in the selection, and others as supplements..."

  Fang Youdu, Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng, Wang Yingxiong and others all nodded their heads.

   "The articles of Brother Jun Yu, Brother Zun, and Brother Wen Ruo can only be anonymous." Zheng Chongjian was not without regret.

"Dazhang, anonymity is not necessarily a bad thing. As long as the article is new and interesting, dares to directly attack the problems and disadvantages, and can come up with effective strategies, the only ones we send to read are the cabinet and Liubutang officials. Their vision and vision How can it be inferior? It’s just that they are in a specific position, sometimes due to sympathy, sometimes they have to obey the overall situation of the court, and sometimes because of their own environment, so they have to restrain themselves when expressing their views and attitudes , if anonymous, it is equivalent to throwing away these shackles, and may not be able to come up with more dazzling articles and insights."

  Feng Ziying was very familiar with how to control and guide public opinion in her previous life.

  In his previous life, he worked as the Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, and even briefly served as the Minister of Propaganda. He is familiar with how to deal with and use public opinion, and he also has a deep feeling for the power of public opinion.

  So this is the first political publication of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he must firmly grasp it in his own hands.

The reason why even Lian Guoshi and Yang Sichang are excluded is to take advantage of the status of Shujishi and Jinshi, without the constraints of official positions, and at the same time, everyone must quit after three years, and I can use these three years to make a good present In Qingtan Academy, students who have a chance to pass the next subject are trained to prepare for succession.

Xu Qixun, Song Shixiang, Sun Chuanting, Fu Zonglong, and Chen Qiyu are all good seedlings, and they will be able to rise to the top in three years, and they can even find some new blood in these three years, so that one generation after another can ensure that this power is always in the hands of in their own hands.

  Feng Ziying's words made the other people think seriously, as if it was really the case.

"Okay, let's not get entangled. I read Feixiong's article on land reform in the southwest region. It is very innovative, but I think the court will think it is too radical and will not approve it, but this is a direction. , In addition, when it comes to the governance of local officials and officials and the conflicts between ordinary people and mountain people, I think this suggestion and reminder is very valuable,..."

Feng Ziying pays more attention to the articles written by such students. While these articles gain prestige and influence for these students, they can also win good opportunities for them to be appointed officials at the end of their political observation in the future, and they can also make their own influence The force penetrates farther and farther.

  In contrast, those officials respond to articles passively, so they need to be selectively treated differently.

   "Ziying, read Xiao Shangshu's article..."

There is no objection to Feng Ziying being the editor-in-chief. This publication is his idea, and he handles everything from conception to planning to implementation. When I started to operate, I became interested only after seeing the huge influence brought by these articles and the publication itself.

Feng Ziying also intentionally did not set up a deputy editor-in-chief, and everyone else was in charge of the editor, that is, there was no difference between Xu Xie, Hou Xun and other Shu Jishi and Fang Youdu, Fan Jingwen and other top three Jinshi. Of course, the reason was also very good. The various ministries observe politics and involve a wider range of issues, and they need to contact and invite drafts.

"Xiao Shangshu's article talked about some ills of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the trial of cases in local yamen, which is still interesting, but in fact, we all know his intention, to explain some of the criticisms and accusations in Uncle Fang's last article, um , it can be considered that the court currently has some unresolved difficulties,..."

  A group of people sat in a hall in the West Wing of the Imperial Academy like this, with two rows of chairs sitting in turn, and Feng Ziying sat at the head of it without hesitation.

  The other seat above is empty, but according to Feng Ziying, it is reserved for Huang Shilang, although he will not come.

   As a scholar of the Hanlin Academy and in charge of the academy, he will be responsible for supervising that the articles in this "Internal Reference" must not violate the court regulations, but will not interfere with specific editing and editing affairs.

"...For example, the time before a person becomes an official is too short, the requirements are not strict, and the assessment is lax, which leads to a lack of experience and professional skills when adjudicating cases....For example, the county magistrate's salary is too meager. Without other income and family support, It is unrealistic for the county magistrate to hire staff, and it can only be done in a way that violates the court regulations, which is very dangerous,..."

  Articles were taken out one by one, the primary selection was carried out first, and then five articles were selected from the ten articles that entered the re-selection stage.

That's right, the articles in the second issue have been expanded a bit, and new columns have also been formed. In addition to the first issue of "A Preliminary Study of the People's Livelihood", "Cases and Statements", and "Military Situation Observation", two columns have been added. One is "Wind Constitution Warning", one is "Extraterritorial Tales".

"Wind Xian Warning" is an anonymous article, but it actually comes from Yang He, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The article he wrote is some typical situations in the actions carried out by the Metropolitan Procuratorate in Zhejiang last year. Feng Ziying is very interested in this article , I think this may be the earliest clean government article.

  The column "Strange Tales from Outside the Territory" was created, and the first article was written by Feng Ziying himself.

This introduces the situation of Luzon (Sulu) in the form of prose travel notes, talks about the historical origin of Luzon (Sulu) and the connection of the Ming Dynasty, and introduces the resources and production of Luzon—gold mines, silver mines, spices , precious wood, rice and climate, etc., and even introduced the living conditions of the people of Dazhou in Luzon and the local rule of the Xiyi people-Flangji people.

  Feng Ziying’s knowledge reserve is actually difficult to support writing such an article. He only knows the general situation in Luzon, that is, the Philippines, but it is too difficult to support a thousand-character article.

But he only needed to disclose this information to Xu Xie a little bit. Within three days, someone from the Guangdong Guild Hall had sent a summary of the relevant situation to Feng Ziying's desk, and even brought a banknote of Ruifeng with a grain of one thousand taels. , without even leaving any marks.

Of course, Feng Ziying will not accept this thousand taels of silver. He once considered including this money in the income and expenditure accounts of "Internal Reference", but in the end he decided not to consider this issue for the time being. After all, the credibility of public opinion still needs to be maintained. These aspects can only be considered when the impression is solidified to a certain extent.

For Feng Ziying, "Extraterrestrial Strange Tales" is the most important and meaningful at present. The doctor of each division and Zongren Mansion, Honglu Temple, Taipu Temple, Zhan Shi Mansion, etc.

  The expansion of this scale will be further expanded with the continuous issuance of publications, and gradually extend to fourth-rank officials.

And Huang Ruliang, Xu Xie and others are also aware of this. If there is not enough profit-driven strategy, it will be difficult for the court to pass the sea-opening strategy. It is some maritime merchants who have become big smugglers.
