Chapter 264 The Fermentation of Public Opinion

Recently, Daming Daily suddenly published an article that looked very unconventional, with the title of the article very straightforward, namely "The Strange Talk of the World: Military Pay, Money and Food are inferior to the Food of the Great Emperors".

The content of the article is very sharp, and it directly points out the drag on the Ming Dynasty by the current vassal kings. It even gave birth to hundreds of children, which caused the family gatherings to be like strangers.

In addition, the article also counted the vassal kings above the Fengguo General from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. By the seventh year of the Tianqi period, the number of vassal kings in various places had increased to thousands of times, and the land occupied and the land possession of the common people has been far away from the treasury military pay expenditure.

No one understands that such a strong political meaning and article that dares to bombard the royal relatives in the world will be published in the Daming Daily!

And, it's the front page headline!

Readers of Daming Daily have to admire the power of Daming Daily. Whether it is the religious struggle in Europa, the tribal struggle outside the Great Wall, or the confidential news within the court and the bold and practical and brave disclosure, they all prove that Daming Daily's supernatural powers are vast.

No matter why Daming Daily has such supernatural powers and courage, he dared to pick out the issue of a vassal king that everyone wants to say but dare not say, and also explained the facts so clearly with data and logic. However, this content has already made the entire Ming Dynasty start to boil.

Whether it is on the teahouse or on the stone steps under the locust tree, as long as someone mentions the recent news, he will definitely mention the question about the vassal kings raised by the Daming Daily.

Many people in northern Zhili, Qin and Jin have become accustomed to going to the city factory to work in the early morning, then get off work, and only leave the city after sunset to return to the countryside to rest.

However, during this period, they would rest in the Xiama Pavilion outside the city, or spend a few small money to listen to the storytellers, or stand in the pavilion to read the newspaper posted in the newspaper column of the Shuntian Prefecture Office.

These are all newspapers and magazines in various places in the past month. Generally, you can understand the Ming Dynasty in the past month clearly in half an hour.

"Oh, our Dahuangzhuang is also developing a contract responsibility system in Jiangnan!" After a few years of private school, the head of a certain imperial farm who recognized some words and could barely understand the newspaper could not help but say.

"Hey, it turns out that these princes are so generous and have eaten so much of our hard-earned money. In this way, the real abomination of my Ming Dynasty is not the corrupt officials, but these princes and grandsons."

When I saw the latest issue of Daming Daily, I couldn't help but sigh like this.

And an old man who was also reading the newspaper and speaking with a Henan accent replied: "Isn't that true? In my hometown, Kaifeng, the entire Kaifeng Mansion is almost all of the good fields and land of Fu Wang. One year, the flood and Kaifeng City was flooded, and the whole city was about to escape from the city. The Fu Wang family hired 30,000 civilians just to transport the food in the mansion!"

...

Also in Nanyu Capital, Nanzhili, people also forgot about the parade and the suppression of the imperial court, and began to discuss the recent matters of the vassal kings.

The emergence of Daming Daily promoted the improvement of printing skills by the Royal Academy of Engineering, and the improvement of printing skills gave rise to more newspapers.

With the increase in newspapers and the exchange of information began to become faster and easier in the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, current affairs and politics began to enter the homes of ordinary people. So far, it is not only the scholars and officials who talk about family, country and the world, but also the peddlers and pawns also express their ideas through newspapers.

However, many times, politics is still a sensitive topic, especially in the Ming Dynasty, where imperial power still occupies an absolute dominance.

Therefore, Daming Daily, which is the nature of the Central News Agency, has become a political vane, and everything Daming Daily reports is the most correct political trend.

All, after the Daming Daily proposed the vassal kings, major newspapers were not willing to fall behind, and began to further expose and criticize the views and phenomena that the vassal kings acted as parasites and dragged down the burly Ming Dynasty.

For example, the Tianfu Daily in Shu proposed the radical view that "using the whole country to raise hundreds of thousands of incompetent people, so the world is the Zhu family's own world or the world is the private property of the rich!"

Jingchu Weekly, which is best-selling in Huguang, directly put forward the view that "the world is poor if the vassal kings are rich, and the world is rich if the vassal kings are poor."

As the public opinion about the vassal kings became increasingly hot, the vassal kings in various places were completely unable to resist these criticisms. Moreover, they should be cautious in order to leave their fiefdom and go to Nanjing to be ordered to stay in the fiefdom on the grounds of being sick and refused to be ordered.

Some vassal kings who had a long journey or were not interested in it refused to come to Nanjing to attend the Xiaoling Mausoleum on the grounds that the ancestral system stipulated that the vassal kings were not allowed to leave their fiefdoms, and secretly laughed at the vassal kings who were rushing to die.

Some vassal kings who had a closer journey or had forgotten the ancestral system and took the imperial edict of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao seriously immediately rushed to Nanyu Capital.

It is really difficult for these princes and princes who are used to being respectful and elegant. In addition, today's energy is hot and hot, which makes it very difficult for many vassal kings to travel along the way.

For example, the King of Gui from Guangxi and King of Shu from Sichuan who decided to come had to climb dozens of miles of mountain roads overnight. After sleeping for less than three hours a day, I ran all the way, and my obesity weighing hundreds of pounds had lost dozens of pounds.

Zhu Huakui, the King of Chu who also chose to come to Nanjing, wiped the sweat from his forehead and spitted, then continued to run wildly, running straight out of his breath as if he was thunder, and then stopped and cursed: "Is this human being able to do it? It's just a matter of being alone in a few days. What is Your Majesty going to do this!"

"Your Majesty is careful. If the people from the East Factory know that it will be bad if they add fuel to the fire in front of His Majesty," the right chief Ming Changxin has always been an honest and cautious person, so he hurriedly persuaded him, but unexpectedly, the King of Chu slapped him with a backhand: "It's not your turn to remind Gu, Gu said this, what, can he be the one who dares to kill Gu? Gu can't say that, no matter how he said that, can he be considered his great-grandfather!"

Although Zhu Huakui, the King of Chu, was descended from King Zhao of Chu, the sixth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, and had a very distant relationship with Zhu Youxiao, he was indeed several generations higher than Zhu Youxiao in terms of seniority.

King Zhu Huakui of Chu couldn't help but feel a little proud. His anxious heart calmed down a little, and then asked Zuo Changshi Luo Xingneng: "Where is the boundary ahead, and how far is it from Jinling City."

"Go back to the prince, you will reach Jiujiang's territory in front of you. I'll take a boat to Nanjing later, and you will arrive in Nanjing in a few days." After Lu Xingneng said that, King Zhu Huakui of Chu ordered: "Since that's the case, let's go to Jiujiang City to rest for a day. I've been running around for a long time and I'm really tired."

In this way, King Zhu Huakui of Chu and his group entered Jiujiang City, but as soon as Zhu Huakui entered Jiujiang City Gate, a man in Taoist robe suddenly stopped him: "Is the visitor His Highness the King of Chu?"
