Chapter 41 Dibao and Minbao

Yinxiang said helplessly: "But how long has the fourth brother succeeded to the throne? He has become a reputation for killing his brother. Not to mention those relatives and noble ministers, even ordinary people have to make a fuss. What's more, how can we convict the matter of hoarding food? We all know that it was his command, but unless he admits it himself, where can we find evidence?"

Chi Xia sneered: "You can get better if you don't kill your reputation? No. If you touch their interests, they will not be able to praise you."

Yongzheng did not kill Yinsi in his previous life and worked diligently all his life.

But he vigorously promoted the "spending tax to acre" and changed the tax to a land tax. Those with land pay more tax, while those without land do not pay tax.

Even if the tax system is more reasonable and greatly increases the income of the treasury, it directly touches the interests of landlords and gentry, causing them to pay more taxes.

Don’t these people still fabricate the various “major crimes” of Yongzheng’s “killing his father and forcing his mother to kill his brother”?

Yongzheng changed into his regular clothes and came in. He happened to hear her words and was slightly stunned: "You can see thoroughly. Then tell me, should the eighth brother be killed?"

Yinxiang didn't expect that one had not been persuaded yet, and there was another one more.

He pinched his nose with a headache: "Although the prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people, he was... After all... Emperor Ama died a year ago. Even if the clan's mansion agreed to be executed, the emperor would still symbolically give grace and change it to a circle ban."

Chi Xia was determined: "I think I should kill. He didn't kill a single person, but so many people starved to death because of his greed. What is the point of such a person who harms the country and the people deserves the emperor's grace?"

"Your Highness talks about reputation. Throughout history, Emperor Taizong of Tang has been the reputation of killing his brother and forcing his father behind the Xuanwu Sect, and the Empress of Wu has been the reputation of killing his son behind the back. A little closer, Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty has a reputation of rebelling and killing his nephew, but history books are dazzling, and they are also more praise than criticism."

Chi Xia glanced at Yongzheng: "The emperor rectified the administration of officials, reformed the accumulated problems, and worked hard to govern. The people could feel it and history could remember it. The merits and demerits were never for a moment."

History will not let down those who are promising, otherwise Yongzheng would not have become an "Internet celebrity emperor".

Of course, there are indeed many rumors about Yongzheng's lace and black material.

But none of them are mainstream, so there is no need to tell them.

In the "Three-person Office Meeting", Chi Xia has always been silent "technical support", and this is the first time she has talked about it.

Yinxiang was a little shocked.

Yongzheng couldn't explain what he felt in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. He opened his eyes and coughed: "Old Eighth, let me go in advance, how did the disaster relief food be distributed?"

Yinxiang replied mechanically: "It's enough to hold on for another month. Yesterday, some people could not help but sell food in the grain merchants under the ninth brother of the Bazi, so they lowered the price and quietly sold food."

Anyway, they had already "talked a lot" just now, and now they are discussing the government affairs in front of her, so Chi Xia listened without hesitation.

She was curious: "Aren't we saying that the treasury is empty every day? Do we have so much food in stock?"

"It's true," Yinxiang did not hide it: "But since someone stopped the car and complained, the emperor secretly allocated grain from Jiangnan, and recently they all arrived one after another. He also asked Ortai, the governor of Liangjiang, to ask the grain merchants in Jiangnan to "borrow" the grain."

Chi Xia: "How to borrow?"

Red mouth and white teeth borrowed it as soon as they said?

Are businessmen so enlightened?

"Your rice test site played a big role," Yinxiang explained: "Ortai brought these grain traders to the capital and saw the test site, promising that anyone who lends grain to the treasury would give them new rice seeds next year. In addition, half of the grain they provide will be processed by them and let them sell them at high prices in the capital."

"On the one hand, it makes money for them, and on the other hand, it provides a "guidance" for the grain merchants in the capital, so that they can't help but lower the price?" Chi Xia explained at a glance: "Why is the Ministry of Revenue still crying poor every day?"

Yongzheng opened her food box: "The real one is weak, and the weak one is solid. Lao Ba is calm. If the Ministry of Revenue takes a lot of money and says that the food is enough to provide disaster relief, he will definitely not believe it. He cries poor every day while releasing food. He is becoming more and more suspicious, thinking that we have food in our hands and is urging him into the trap."

Yinxiang also said: "They have no confidence, so the people under them can't stop them. At most, in ten days, the grain merchants will be in a hurry to clear out the stock of their food."

It was just a wave of intrigue business wars.

Let's see who can't calm down first.

Chi Xia's eyes lit up and she suddenly stood up: "In addition to commercial wars, we can also engage in public opinion wars."

Yinxiang was worried about his reputation, so there was no problem.

After all, it has a good reputation and the policy promotion is much smoother.

But a good reputation cannot be achieved through tolerance, and tolerance can only increase their appetite.

Public opinion needs guidance.

The more Chi Xia thought about it, the more necessary it was: "Scholars don't all understand the government affairs, let alone ordinary people. Most of the time, they may just listen to others' words and think it makes sense."

"Instead of letting those greedy landlords and gentry randomly arrange your right and wrong, we might as well be the one who guides the speech by ourselves. Take the mouthpiece of the voice in our own hands."

Both Yongzheng and Yinxiang heard this statement of "public opinion" and "mouth tongue".

But this statement is very vivid, and they have been through open and secret struggles in the court for a long time, and they can understand it as soon as they hear it.

Seeing that Yongzheng was moved, Chi Xia remembered the "black history" of his quarrels between him and Zeng Jing, and hurriedly said, "It's not like "The Book of the Great Awakenings", it's a wrong demonstration."

After he was woven with the "Ten Major Crimes" in his last life, he wrote "The Book of the Great Righteous Awakening" to refute it, and insisted on publishing it on his own. The rumors were not successful, but instead became a weapon for others to attack him as "sincere".

Yongzheng closed his mouth awkwardly.

Chi Xia added: "The public opinion war must be subtle and moisturize things silently."

Yinxiang felt enlightened: "Similar to our Ming-faithed mansion report."

Chi Xia nodded: "Yes! It's Dibao, but only officials can see the Dibao. We need to publish a more popular newspaper that can be understood by just reading."

"In order to attract more people to read, we can also post some "royal figure news", "poems of literati and poets" and even serialized stories in the newspaper."

"For those who are illiterate, governments in various places can also recruit storytellers, so that they can "read newspapers" and "speak newspapers" regularly every day. The key point is to build newspapers into authoritative, official, and trustworthy channels."

Chi Xia thought about modern newspapers, but there were actually many other contents.

For example, if you get rewards for crossword mini games, publish advertisements to achieve profitability, etc., these can also be improved in the later stage.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that what she was talking about was no longer a "light of inspiration", but a basically mature public opinion system.

As the emperor's harem, she said a little too much.

When I turned around, I saw Yongzheng looking at her seriously and with a scrutiny look.

Chi Xia felt a stern and clenched her fingers.

When Yongzheng saw her small movement, he suddenly smiled: "What are you nervous about?"

Chi Xia quickly knelt down and did not dare to say anything.

Yongzheng asked, "You said it very well. If I want you to be the actual manipulator of this "People's Newspaper", would you like?"

Fourth Master: I think you are right (my "The Book of the Great Awakenings" back then)…

Chi Xia: I don’t want you to think, I want me to think. (You can quickly pull it down, typical error demonstration)
