This aroused Zhu Youxiao's curiosity.
He thought about it for a while through these few sentences, but couldn't figure it out.
So Wei Zhongxian was instructed to ask Dongchang to carefully check Li Sancai's income.
And closely monitor Yang Lian and other Donglin Party members.
It would be best to send someone to sneak into his home to collect information and get to the bottom of this matter.
This can only be done like this for the time being.
Zhu Youxiao thought of another problem, that is, how to boost morale.
When Shenyang fell, Yuan Yingtai's memorial suggested that He Shixian might have surrendered to the enemy.
The officials also clamored together to punish him for surrendering to the enemy and punish his family members.
Later, Luo Yangxing's report clearly stated that he saw He Shixian die in battle and had no intention of surrendering to the enemy.
Later, when the detailed report came out, it was also pointed out that He Shixian had indeed died in the battle.
If he had really listened to the words of the ministers and convicted the He family, it would have had a huge impact on the morale of the army afterwards.
Then came Qin Bangping, Chen Ce and others.
They were all guest troops, but they fought bravely, far better than local officers and soldiers in Liaodong such as Zhu Wanliang.
Zhu Youxiao felt that providing rewards for meritorious service and punishment for delinquency should be what the officers and soldiers wanted the court to do most, and this was the basis for boosting morale.
Secondly, let everyone in the world know the heroic deeds of the officers and soldiers who fought bravely, and expose the ugly faces of those who surrendered to the enemy and feared the enemy.
The people will naturally know who should be respected and who should be despised.
It's just that the current audience of Dibao is extremely narrow.
It seems that we need to build a newspaper.
This is a great way to control public opinion.
The emperor summoned Xu Guangqi and asked what printing technology was like now.
According to Xu Guangqi, printing is now mainly based on engraving, because engraving is more beautiful and clear than movable type printing, and can be printed with overprinting and a variety of colors.
Movable type is mainly tin movable type, wooden movable type, and copper movable type.
The cost is high, the number of prints is small, and there are often unclear handwriting and missing characters.
Zhu Youxiao remembered that later generations should have used lead movable type, so he asked if he could use lead movable type for printing.
Xu Guangqi replied that he had indeed heard of lead movable type, and it seemed that someone had used it in Changzhou.
As for what it was like, he didn't know very well. .
The emperor decreed: In the Battle of Liaodong and Liaoshen, generals such as He Shixian, You Shigong, Chen Ce, Qin Bangping, Zhou Dunji, etc. died fighting for the country, and their loyal souls will last forever.
Therefore, the Liaodong Martyrs Shrine was established to honor the loyal ministers and martyrs who died in the Liaodong battles. .
The ministers had different opinions, some agreed, but others opposed.
Zhou Jiamo, the official secretary of the Donglin Party, believed that it would be difficult to identify those who died fighting for the country or those who surrendered to the enemy to protect themselves.
This would increase the number of officials in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, and if there were If you make a mistake, the whole world will laugh.
Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou also held the same opinion.
Zhu Youxiao thought, in fact, they just didn't want the warrior status to rise.
So he laughed and said: "Those who sacrifice their lives for the country cannot get the respect they deserve, the praise of the court, and the food and blood.
Who is willing to die for the country and fight for the country?
The Ministry of Rites chooses an auspicious place to build the Martyrs' Shrine and a long road outside the temple.
The generals who surrendered to the enemy lined up beside them.
Their names and birthplaces and their father's names are tabulated to let people know who these rebellious ministers are.
As for those who are afraid of the enemy and dare not fight, they will be given a chance to make up for their mistakes.
If they do it again, they will be ranked with the generals who surrendered to the enemy, but their father's name will not be revealed.
Name taboo.”
"As for the screening, even if there is a mistake, it is better than no sacrifice at all."
Fang Congzhe also supported the emperor's point of view: "The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites are just a waste of manpower.
Loyal ministers and martyrs use their lives to defend the Ming Dynasty and the emperor.

Of course, the reserve is clear about which is more important.
We cannot let the martyrs bleed, and we can't let the martyrs bleed.
Let the families of the martyrs shed tears again."
This is what Zhu Youxiao told him when he discussed it first.
He felt that this sentence made sense, although it was a bit too straightforward.
Now Yang Lian and others stopped talking.
Yang Lian had already been ridiculed by people when Li Xuanshi was made Kangfei last time, but now he was rejected as soon as he opened his mouth, so he asked for leave due to illness, and the emperor directly approved it, but Dong Lin It’s hard for everyone in the party to speak again.
The emperor decreed that a newspaper office should be set up under the Ministry of Rites, with Bao Ying'ao, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper office.
He would call on people from all over the world who are skilled in printing to publish the Ming Dynasty Weekly, so that the people of the world can know about the affairs of the world and let the people of the world discuss the affairs of the world.
This decree immediately aroused heated discussion among the officials.
Most people think it is good.
It is easy to understand, because those who can read newspapers are of course scholars.
This means that they have one more way to put pressure on the emperor and express their own opinions, especially some public officials.
Manipulating public opinion is the original goal.
Their strengths are of course more welcome now that they have such a platform.
It’s just that they certainly can’t imagine now that newspapers will eventually make their profession dispensable.
Of course, that’s something to talk about later.
Bao Ying'ao is from Nanzhili and currently serves as the priest of the Ministry of Rites Temple.
According to Xu Guangqi, he is fair and honest and a good official.
The most important thing is that he is a practical person.
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, he immediately entered the palace to see the emperor.
"With your Majesty's trust, I have appointed Wei Chen to be in charge of the Ming Dynasty Weekly Report.
However, Wei Chen is not very talented and has little knowledge.
I don't know what a weekly report is and how to handle it.
I would like your Majesty to clarify."
"Bao Qing is not sure, which I expected.
Now that there is a newspaper, it can only let officials in various ministries and places know the trends of the imperial court.
I think it is possible to run a weekly newspaper and distribute it nationwide so that everyone in the world can know the affairs of the imperial court and can discuss the imperial court.
The quantity is not fixed and depends on the printing technique and the number of newspapers ordered."
"The weekly newspaper can now be divided into four pages, the first is imperial edicts, the second is current affairs, the third is military affairs, and the fourth is political discussions.
First, we can use the engraving method to distribute it to various ministries, states and county offices for free, while others need to pay a fee."
"The so-called weekly newspaper refers to a newspaper that is issued once a certain period of time.
Depending on the printing situation, it may only be issued once every half a month or ten years now.
In the future, it may be issued once every five days or even once a day."
"Your Majesty's imperial edict, current affairs, and military and political ministers understand clearly, but what is the purpose of discussing politics?
Please forgive me for my ignorance."
"Those who discuss politics are not the opinions of the court, but other people's views on the imperial edict, current affairs of the court, and military affairs."
"We think that Your Majesty speaks the Heavenly Constitution and follows the law, and if others dare to criticize the imperial decree, they can be regarded as having no king or father, and the whole world can punish them."
Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly.
He loved this evil feudal society to death, because he was the emperor now: "Bao Qing, discussing politics can be the approval of the imperial edict.
Besides, the weekly newspaper is issued by the imperial court.
How can you let the words that slander the imperial edict be allowed?"
Live in it.”
"How to make the first issue?
You will recruit people first, and then make a sample of the newspaper and submit it to the emperor.

I will personally participate in it and then engrave it after the final draft.
As for how to issue it to the government and how to sell it to the people, you will write one first.
The charter is out.
As for the money issue, it will all come from internal funds.”
"The humble minister has thanked the emperor, but no saint has ever failed the emperor."
Hearing that the required expenses were paid from internal funds, Langzhong Bao was very happy.
Everyone knows that the situation in the Ministry of Household Affairs is not good.
Now the Ming Dynasty Weekly will know that it is a costly matter.
The emperor is willing to use internal funds to spend it, so we, Mr.
Bao, can't help but pat the emperor
