When Zhu Youxiao heard Wei Zhongxian mention that the main writer of Daming Daily was Zhang Dai, and he resigned angrily recently, he couldn't help but laugh.

Zhu Youxiao naturally knew about Zhang Dai, a literary giant. You must know that he was fascinated by the article "Looking at the Snow in the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake".

However, as far as Zhu Youxiao knew, although Zhang Dai had a good life in his early years, he failed the provincial examinations many times and was not good at making a living. In the end, he ended up in poverty and destitute. After the Ming Dynasty fell and retired to the deep mountains, he had to carry manure and farm on his own.

But now, Zhang Dai is the chief editor of Daming Daily who just resigned. According to Zhu Youxiao, I am afraid it is because he can make a living by relying on this, because Zhu Youxiao once replied to Wei Zhongxian's memorial that the treatment of Daming Daily's chief editor should not be lower than that of Hu Zongxian's request for Xu Wei as an aide.

"Where is this person now? Let him come to see me?" When Zhu Youxiao said this, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help laughing: "This person is still in the museum now, he has nowhere to go, and it is not easy for me to chase him, but this person just refuses to start writing, which makes only a few issues of the news and no big deal."

As he said that, Wei Zhongxian ordered his servant to invite Zhang Dai.

Not long after, Zhu Youxiao saw a middle-aged man wearing a square scarf, wearing a semi-new student uniform but also an extremely sloppy beard. He came and bowed to Zhu Youxiao lazily: "Student Zhang Dai has seen Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao was shocked. In his opinion, since the author of such a lively and elegant sketch as "Looking at the Snow in the Heart of the Lake" should be the same as some modern literary young people. Although their personalities are very different, they are not so miserable and embarrassed. However, the person with a distracted look in front of him is hard to remind people of the playboy who used to be a good monk, a beautiful maid, a good fresh clothes, and a good food.

"Get up, Zhang Dai, I heard from Wei Zhongxian that you have resigned from the position of chief writer of the Daming Daily, but why are you still here and not leaving?"

After Zhu Youxiao asked, he looked at the literary master of the late Ming Dynasty with a hint.

Zhang Dai was not restrained because he was in front of His Holiness today, and replied directly: "Because the students were short of money, most of their money was spent. As long as the Grand Master Wei did not chase them away, the students would not want to leave. Anyway, our Grand Master Wei is also a famous living Bodhisattva in Nanjing City, and loves to help down and out scholars. Since this is the case, students also rely on Grand Master Wei to help."

As Zhang Dai said, now that Wei Zhongxian has gained fame and has suddenly increased his moral status, but he can't come to Taiwan. He is embarrassed to drive Zhang Dai away again.

Seeing that he was so helpless, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing and asked again: "I heard from Wei Zhongxian that the reason why you resigned from the position of chief writer is because you refused to write advertising slogans for Luo Family Grain Store?"

With the emergence of various new things, the Ming Dynasty also produced various new words, such as advertisements and advertising slogans, which were born because of the emergence of the Daming Daily and have become widely known throughout the country, especially in Jiangnan, so Wei Zhongxian mentioned the word "advertising".

"Eunuch Wei is jealous of money, but the students are unwilling to write any advertising slogans for such a profiteer who started with cheating. They also want to impress me with a high price of one word or two. No way, the students would rather starve to death!"

Zhang Dai said this, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, but he really couldn't do anything to Zhang Dai. Such a talented man who is arrogant sometimes can't get angry with them.

"I just read your comments on Fengyang's commercial tax collection, and there are many things worthy of recognition. It can be seen that you also advocate the progress of rural and commercial enterprises. Now, Daming Daily is not only to promote education and promote people's wisdom, but also naturally to drive business. In this way, Daming Daily can be stronger. Don't you even understand this?"

After Zhu Youxiao said that, he got up and walked to Zhang Dai, and threw a newspaper he had bought before in front of Zhang Dai.

Zhang Dai couldn't help but bow and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know that Luo Yihong, the owner of the Luo Family Grain Store, relied on hoarding his family and was a bad village. The students would rather write advertisements for Zheng Tuoqiao, who was responsible for selling cow dung than for him."

"I'm a little bit arrogant. Zhang Dai, I'll ask you, if I ask you to be the doctor of the Ministry of Rites and serve as the chief editor of the Daming Daily, and be responsible for the editor-in-chief of Daming Daily, and the future publication of the advertisements will be decided by you and Wei Zhongxian, are you willing to continue to be the chief editor of Daming Daily?"

Zhang Dai didn't expect that His Majesty would suddenly be appointed as his official position, and he was also a Hanlin official, with the title of a doctor in the fifth-rank ritual department. He also asked himself and Wei Zhongxian to decide on the standards for advertising in the future. He was immediately moved and hurriedly bowed: "Students obey the orders, thank Your Majesty for the grace."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, and at the same time decided to officially announce that the Daming Daily would be separated from the direct jurisdiction of the Nanjing Governor's garrison, and was directly responsible for Zhu Youxiao, that is, he would become the same yamen as Taipu Temple and Taichang Temple. However, the person in charge is still Wei Zhongxian, and the person in charge of daily affairs is the chief editor Zhang Dai.

In addition, the Beijing Express, managed by the Ministry of Rites, was also independent and determined to be of grade. It will be used as a propaganda tool for Zhu Youxiao in the north in the future.

When Zhu Youxiao determined the status of the two state-owned newspapers, the latest battles between the Tatars and Wu Xiang's troops were also heard outside Shanhaiguan.

During this period, because the Ming Dynasty refused to rescue Wu Xiang's troops and closed Shanhaiguan according to the order of Zhu Youxiao, the Wu Xiang's troops had to fight to the death with the Qing Tartars. However, perhaps because it was not for the help of the Ming Dynasty and that this was their last place to survive, the Wu Xiang's troops actually withstood the Tartars' attacks on Jinzhou several times.

The Qing emperor Huang Taiji had no choice but to continue fighting, so he had to retreat. Both sides lost and returned to their previous state after losing. However, perhaps because the Ming Dynasty did not rescue Wu Xiang's tribe or for survival, the Wu Xiang's tribe has now torn apart and began to plunder the Ming border.

"Kill my more than 30 people. Does this Wu Xiang tribe really think that my Ming Dynasty dare not attack him, a traitor!"

Zhu Youxiao slapped the table angrily, but sighed helplessly. Now the new guns of the Ordnance Department have just been in production, and the new army training of the Imperial Guards has not yet ended. He has no way to fight against Wu Xiang's troops and other forces, but this does not mean that Zhu Youxiao has no choice.

After he calmed down for a moment, he called Li Mingrui: "I drafted an order and ordered Mao Wenlong's troops to carry out retaliation against Wu Xiang's troops. The tasks are random, but I must give me a satisfactory answer in one month."

After Zhu Youxiao said this, Wang Chengen couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, will you force the rebellion of Wu Xiang's troops in this way, so that they will really go to war with our Ming Dynasty."

"Hmph, I wish he would start a war. He is now a war and has a low morale. In addition, there is a tiger from the Qing Dynasty behind him. His Wu Xiang tribe is desperate and dares to go against my Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Youxiao said with certainty.
