Chapter 20 Technology Part 2 Zhu Chongjiu often comes up with new words that no one has heard before.
Everyone in the Privy Council is well aware of this.
But there has never been a time when everyone was as confused as today.
Professionals and Amateurs.
If the former comes from Han Tuizhi’s saying, “There are specialties in the arts,” then what does the latter mean?
While he was confused, he heard Zhu Chongjiu knocking on the table and continued: "After the meeting, you two will report to Su Changshi to request a sum of money to be used specifically for this.
I will ask Su Changshi to get it directly from me.
The funds are allocated from the private treasury and do not need to go through the household bureau or the public deliberation of the three houses.”
"Yes" Chen Ji, the head of the Military Intelligence Department, and Zhang Song, the head of the Internal Affairs Department, both bowed and accepted the order.
"If you give me some leniency, you don't have to save me money.
If you don't have enough, you can allocate more."
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Chongjiu gritted his teeth and added, "I don't believe it, RMB players.
People just want to live a good and stable life, but they will follow them." " He would never do anything to punish someone for speaking out.
Because the six hundred years of experience in his memory told him that this was the worst option.
In addition, among all response methods, the use of force is also the least effective.
Often the more severe the suppression, the greater the backlash.
Inadvertently, he boosted his opponent's prestige.
"Yes" Chen Ji and Zhang Song saluted again.
Then they looked at each other and loudly remonstrated, "My lord, I think that the amount of subsidies provided by the General Administration to each newspaper should be renegotiated as soon as possible."
"Wei Chen agrees that the lord cannot let them take the lord's money and go against the lord specifically."
"Well, that makes sense."
After hearing this, Zhu Chongjiu nodded with a smile, "Yongnian will be responsible for making a specific proposal.
From the second half of the year, the subsidies for each newspaper will no longer be linked solely to sales volume.
What are the specific assessment methods?
The Ministry of Internal Affairs itself Go figure it out.”
"Yes" Chen Ji and Zhang Song agreed happily and returned to their seats.
"Lord" Liu Bowen instinctively wanted to dissuade him, but when the words came to his lips, he found that he could not find a suitable reason at all.
All the core figures in the General Manager's Office know that newspapers in Huaiyang are currently supported by Zhu Chongjiu's personal funds.
Whether it is the Huaiyang Xunbao with the best sales or the most disliked scholar Zhengyi, every quarter they can receive a large amount of newspaper subsidy from the General Manager's Office according to the relevant rules.
Without this continuous investment, even if hydraulic printing and hardwood movable type were used, newspapers would not be able to recover their capital at the price of one Chinese copper dollar.
Within a few months, we will be on the verge of closing down one after another.
"Why does Bowen think it's inappropriate for me to spend money from my own private treasury?"
Hearing Liu Bowen's voice, Zhu Chongjiu asked with a smile.
"Don't dare, Wei Chen, Wei Chen just feels that this move is unavoidable.
It smells like copper and seems to be forcing people to submit."
Liu Bowen blushed, waved his hand, and responded in an extremely weak voice.
"It's not forcing, it's guiding.
They don't have to listen, but you can't expect me to spend money to encourage others to go against me."
Zhu Chongjiu glanced at him with a smile, and then quickly turned his eyes to Zhang Song, "Yongnian, you might as well add one more thing, The Grand Administrative Office encourages private newspapers to apply for subsidies from the government for their principal in the first three months, depending on their sales volume and assessment results, with a population of nearly 10 million.
Divide newspapers, too few, really too few.”
"Yes, Wei Chen obeys the order."
Zhang Song was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed.
"Sit down and talk."
Zhu Chongjiu waved to him, his smile showing a bit of cruelty.
Political correctness is not a patent of the former Soviet Union in another time and space.

In fact, in Zhu Dapeng's era, media controlled by capital were often more "conscious" than media controlled by the government.
From managers, chief editors, editors to front-line reporters, they all instinctively follow an invisible red line and dare not cross it easily.
Therefore, there is a saying in another time and space that it is better to offend Merkel than Merkel.
If you offend the German Iron Lady, you will at most get scolded by the Iron Lady's fans, but the German government may not do anything to you.
If you offend the newspaper tycoon Murdoch, he has enough tricks to make you unable to make any sound Now, the Huaiyang General Manager's Office not only controls local political power, but also controls capital.
Zhu Chongjiu didn't believe that a few old Confucians and so-called celebrities could jump out of these two visible and invisible hands.
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
He patted the desk and said loudly: "Not only newspapers and scholars, but also other industries should not be ignored.
Let's do this.
Starting from this year, the general manager will spend 100,000 yuan every year.
From now on, we will reward those who have made outstanding contributions in all walks of life.
Let’s call it the Dynamite Award.
Forget it, let’s call it the China Award.
The specific distribution will be discussed separately when the three academies gather together another day.”
"My lord is wise" Zhang Song, Chen Ji, Huang Laowai, Jiao Yu and others all stood up and handed over their hands.
At present, the price of Shanghaotianzihao paddy fields near Yangzhou City is only four Huaxia Tongbao per mu.
When it comes to areas near Suiyang and Suzhou, the average fertile farmland is only one and a half acres per acre.
One hundred thousand Huaxia Tongbao, even if divided into twenty parts, is enough for each recipient to become a rich man immediately.
All replaced with land for farming, enough for future generations to squander for several lifetimes.
It is foreseeable that when this news spreads, it will bring shock to all parts of Huaiyang and the whole world.
No matter how shocking the "Declaration of Equality" was, it only affected the gentry and scholars.
Ordinary people and small households did not feel any threat.
But the One Hundred Thousand Guan Huaxia Tongbao is a good copper coin that you can see and touch.
As long as you have the ability and are willing to make progress, you will have the opportunity to get it in your hands.
From now on, you don’t have to look at anyone’s face to eat, and you don’t have to eat anymore.
Flatter anyone.
"The lord regards gold and silver as dung, and the subordinates admire him."
Even Liu Bowen could only sigh and hand over his hand after he understood the power of a hundred thousand guans.
Just like the previous encouragement of people to run newspapers, this was money Zhu Chongjiu took out from his private dividends, and no one could interfere with it.
Even if critics like Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty could prevent His Majesty Taizong from using the treasury to renovate the palace for himself, they could not interfere with how the royal family's private treasury operated.
Otherwise, there will be no boundaries between public and private matters, and anyone who advises will be despised by everyone in the world.
"It's just some trivial issues that still haven't been resolved."
Zhu Chongjiu, fed up with the RMB players' addiction, waved his hands and responded in a wan tone.
"Specifically how to make the way of equality deeply rooted in people's hearts, please give me some good advice."
If those scholars and famous Confucians don't take the initiative to come to Huaiyang to cause trouble.
Perhaps he would not realize that his "declaration of equality" that he was forced to put forward would be so hostile to the other party.
But now, after realizing the strong hostility around him, his desire to win was aroused to the point of igniting.
Decided to use all his strength to fight against his opponents, both overt and covert.
Even if he failed, at most he would become another Zhu Yuanzhang, and he might not lose more.
"A Qingqiuzi appeared in the newspaper recently.
I will think that this person is a great talent."
Feeling the strong fighting spirit in Zhu Chongjiu's heart, Hu Dahai stood up and recommended talents with a smile.
"What he said was not only in line with the Lord's fair intentions.
What impressed me even more was that this gentleman's tactics were very popular with military strategists.
He easily fooled Zheng Yu and others."

"Indeed, this Qingqiuzi is really talented."
Liu Ziyun also stood up and agreed with a smile.
"Some time ago, I was so angry by those rotten scholars that I just wanted to kill people.
But after reading Qingqiuzi's eloquent remarks, I was so happy that I wanted to drink three glasses of wine.
Not only did my views contradict those of the rotten scholars, but the rare thing was that I always spoke the truth.
There are sources, and all the quotations are the original words of the sages, sub-sages and Zhu Xi, which Zheng Yu and other rotten scholars cannot refute at all."
"There is such a talent."
Zhu Chongjiu heard this with interest, and his eyes slowly turned to Zhang Song, "Isn't he someone specially invited by your Internal Affairs Department to watch the show?"
"I don't dare," Zhang Song heard, and quickly stood up and waved, "I don't dare to act rashly without the lord's order.
However, if the lord wants to find out this person's true identity, I promise that he will be able to do so within two days."
Please come to the Grand Manager’s Mansion.”
Zhu Chongjiu thought about it for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand, "Forget it, let's not disturb him.
If he doesn't want to show up, let him.
If one day he wants to show up, he will be counted as a share of this year's China Award."
"I obey," Zhang Song secretly exhaled in his stomach and solemnly agreed.
As the head of the Internal Affairs Office, a scholarly figure who could compete with Zheng Yu and others suddenly appeared.
It was impossible for him not to send someone to investigate.
But it would have been better not to check, but once I checked, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
This man is actually young and weak, about the same size as his lord.
And this person's residential address is actually Jixian Hall in Yangzhou City.
The current mountain chief is Lu Peng, the youngest son of Lu Luzeng.
Currently, at least five out of ten people in Huaiyang being promoted to official positions are from this sect.
"You might as well pay more attention to people like this who are knowledgeable and willing to adapt to the current situation."
Turning his eyes back to Hu Dahai, Zhu Chongjiu continued to give instructions.
He is determined to pursue his path of equality to the end, so he is willing to absorb any new force.
"First recommend them to Jixian Hall, and then retain them as appropriate after they adapt to the situation in Huaiyang.
I will also tell Lu Changshi about this year's imperial examination questions and ask him to make some changes."
"Thank you, Lord, for your love."
Although the recommendation was not successful, he received a special decree.
Hu Dahai bowed and saluted very happily, "But I will not be able to recommend this year's quota."
Zhu Chongjiu reacted quickly and immediately took action to plug the omission, "This is a special situation and is not included in your original quota.
However, if the recommended person is not useful, the retrospective responsibility will still be traced back to I'll wait for you.
Once again, I don't care if the people you recommend are your relatives and friends.
What I care about is whether they are available and whether they are on the same page as us.
It's up to you to decide what to do."
"The general will know."
Hu Dahai smiled honestly, raised his hand and gave Zhu Chongjiu the standard military salute.
During the last time he was away on an expedition, his eldest son Hu Sanshe colluded with several other yamen, planted private individuals in the name of his father, formed gangs, and caused great trouble.
Although Zhu Chongjiu did not pursue the matter later, there was always a shadow in his heart.
Now that the emperor and his ministers had put their words to rest, the worries in their hearts naturally disappeared.
Several other people were also worried about the gains and losses in recommending talents because of the rectification of officialdom last year.
Today, I heard Zhu Chongjiu personally emphasize that no matter how close or distant he is when it comes to elevating talents, I also felt that our hearts felt a lot lighter.
They all smiled and thanked their lord for his kindness.
"I'm afraid, this is still treating the symptoms but not the root cause."
Only Liu Ji will always stand alone.

Before everyone's happy laughter dissipated, he stood up and gave a serious reminder.
"After all, etiquette has been passed down for thousands of years.
Whether it is right or wrong, it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Even if the people who come here say they are equal, deep down, I am afraid they still believe in the original ones.
It's just that for the sake of the future, I have to make mistakes with my lord."
"Well, Bowen, what's the good idea?"
Zhu Chongjiu was not angry when Duotou poured a large amount of cold water on him.
He nodded and asked Liu Bowen for advice with a smile.
Being able to solve the problem is the most important thing.
As for the other party's bad temper, it is still within his tolerance.
As expected, Liu Bowen did not live up to his humiliation.
After thinking about it, he asked solemnly: "What can you see at the Purple Mountain Observatory, my lord?"
"I don't know much about this.
You all have telescopes in the military.
If you use them to see the stars and the moon at night, it will be very different from before."
Zhu Chongjiu also thought about it and told the truth.
The reason why he chose to build the observatory on the top of Zijin Mountain was to satisfy another soul's memories of past lives.
I haven't carefully verified what I can see specifically.
But according to the current level of decolorized glass and telescope manufacturing in Huaiyang Workshop, it should not be a problem to magnify the starry sky above the head by more than 20 times at any cost.
In that case, the changes that can be detected by military telescopes with magnifications between five and eight will undoubtedly become clearer under large-section, high-power telescopes.
Note 1 "Weichen once obtained three volumes of Qimen Dunjia in his early years.
It is said that if you study them deeply, you can observe the stars, judge your life, and deduce the past and present."
Liu Bowen suddenly sighed, his tone full of disappointment.
"However, Weichen accidentally got up a few months ago and picked up a telescope to observe the stars, only to find that the starry sky was very different from what Weichen had learned before."
"Alas" Chen Ji, Zhang Song and others felt the same way and sighed along with Liu Ji regardless of their past grudges.
They are also considered well-educated people.
Of course, they are influenced by tradition.
In addition to Confucian classics, they are also involved in astrology, Taoism and other mysterious knowledge.
However, as they saw more new things in the Grand Steward's Mansion, they found that the metaphysics they believed to be true in the past became less reliable.
Especially after the advent of telescopes, Guanghan Palace turned into a round cake with a big pit on its face, and stars gathered in the Milky Way.
According to legend, Taibaijin, the spirit of gold in the West, the son of the White Emperor, the Grand Duke, represents the image of a great general at a sufficient multiple.
After being magnified by a telescope, it turns out to be a dark yellow round cake.
In addition to the fact that there are no pockmarks on the surface, it looks like It looks exactly the same as Guanghan Palace Note 2
The impact this had on their hearts was almost unbearable.
Fortunately, we have seen more weird things around Zhu Chongjiu, and everyone has gradually learned to comfort themselves.
The General Manager is a very human being and does extraordinary things, so what he sees is also affected by it, and it is difficult to tell whether it is true or false.
And this kind of self-comfort cannot withstand scrutiny after all.
So when Liu Bowen brought it up, I felt that everything I had learned before was all fallacy, and the starry sky above my head became even more out of reach.
"Please don't sigh, please listen to Liu Mou's words."
Liu Bowen's eyes saw more.
"The etiquette of Confucianism, the virtues of Taoism, and the universal love of Mohism all originate from heaven.
The unity of heaven and man, Wood is always there, the three unifications, three righteousness, three cardinal guides and five constant learning are inseparable from the stars in the sky."
Taking another deep breath, Liu Bowen made the final addition with great pain, "You can see from a giant mirror that the sky is not the same as before, and the stars are not the same as before.
Etiquette and morals are always upright, and naturally they have lost their support."
Note 1: After the invention of the telescope, Galileo quickly built 3x and 9x telescopes, and finally built a telescope with a magnification of 33 times to reveal the starry sky.

Note 2: Because of its close distance to the Earth, the spherical outline of Venus can be seen with a ten-fold telescope on clear weather and without pollution
