Vol 2 Chapter 853: Manuscript must be retracted (three shifts)

Winter goes to spring.
Tender leaves emerged from the branches and the Weishui River began to thaw.
Shipping has ushered in the peak season of a year.
The people in the capital of Great Zhou took off their thick winter clothes to welcome the arrival of spring.
The prairie, the ice and snow are beginning to melt.
Last winter, there were several blizzards in the grassland, and the snow was two to three feet deep.
The large pastures, tribes, and herders of Beirong died of freezing and starvation.
From the herdsmen to the nobles, the losses were heavy.
By the beginning of the spring, Bei Rong would not have enough food to eat and drink.
You can slaughter the lambs, but when winter comes, how can there be enough cattle and sheep for the winter?
The reality is cruel.
The Beirong court was completely bankrupt.
The price of Beirong King City is soaring.
Not to mention that the ordinary people cannot afford it, even many nobles are facing the serious consequences of bankruptcy in the face of soaring prices.
Seeing that the dynasty was about to fall, the Royal Court of Beirong made a decisive decision and led his army south to hit the grass valley, looting Dazhou to feed himself.
The tens of thousands of troops of Bei Rong came rolling in with a bloodthirsty light.
They avoided the difficult northwest barrier, traveled thousands of miles, broke through the barrier of Da Zhou from the northeast, and directly killed them.
The guard was broken and the people suffered.
They looted the population, looted property and food, burned the city...
They do no evil.
When the news reached the capital, the court was shocked inside and outside.
Why did Bei Rong go south suddenly?
How did you break through the barriers in the northeast? This is a thousand miles long.
When Emperor Wen De learned of the tragedy of the Northeast, he was so angry that he sweared in the morning.
What do the garrisons of Northeast Customs do for food?
Over the years, he has worked hard to make up for the debts of the frontier army over the years, and he has also replaced equipment and paid full monthly salaries.
As early as last year, the Department of Defense was asked to follow through and require all guards to prepare for war.
As a result, the Northeast was closed for defense, and Bei Rong was defeated in one round.
Three cities and hundreds of thousands of people were lost on Monday.
"Damn it! Damn it all!"
Emperor Wen De kicked over the stool and smashed the teacup.
Northeast Customs is all it from top to bottom.
The Beirong army had almost become a group of established beggars before breaking through the Northeast Pass.
The rations they brought with them had already been exhausted on the road because they had rushed thousands of miles.
As long as the garrison in the Northeast Pass is stronger, it can drag the North Rong army to death for three or five days.
As a result, the Northeast Border Defense not only failed to drag Bei Rong to death, but was broken into the border by Bei Rong, plundering money and food, and the Bei Rong army, which was supplied with energy, instantly recovered.
A group of rejuvenated Beirong troops and the beggar army, which one is good to fight, is self-evident.
The opportunity to completely wipe out the North Rong army was in front of us, but it was abruptly missed by the garrison in the northeast.
A bunch of idiots!
A group of pigs!
Emperor Wen De almost died of anger.
If it hadn't been deployed since last year, and Jin Wuwei was sent to spy on intelligence in various places, I am afraid that Emperor Wende would still be kept in the dark.
On the one hand, Emperor Wen De ordered the Ministry of War to deploy troops to prevent the Beirong army from continuing to go south. It is bound to drive the Beirong army out of the pass.
On the one hand, he decreed to reprimand Li Bingming, the governor of the Northwest.
Ask him to reorganize the army, what kind of army did he get?
Lord Li received the imperial decree and looked aggrieved.
He is the governor of the Northwest, not the governor of the Northeast.
The northeast frontier defense is not in his control at all, he can't stretch his hand so long, and he can't rectify the northeast frontier army.
Your Majesty, this is anxious red eyes, do you curse when you catch someone?
However, the military armament in the northeast was so loose, it was beyond Master Li's expectation.
"Your Majesty paid enough money and changed equipment. The northeast army beat a group of beggars and didn't even hold up a round. It sucks."
Not only did Mr. Li say that the Northeast Army was bad, almost everyone said that the Northeast Army was bad.
Up to the court, down to the people, filled with indignation. They have demanded severe punishments for the generals of the Northeast Frontier, all of them should be killed.
"Big Zhou Life Show", "Guo Zi Jian Bao", "Shanhe College Newspaper", and other newly opened newspapers, such as "Beijing Life News", etc., published articles on the same day, attacking the court and the Ministry of War in the sharpest terms , Attacked the northeast frontier army, attacked the big men in the political affairs hall.
It is the first time that the limelight, the influence and the acrimony of the words are so great.
It was ten times more pungent than the words used by the Imperial College of Life Show.
The court chief was scolded by several newspapers for naming names or surnames. Even the black history of the eighteenth generations of ancestors was uncovered and the corpses were whiplashed by the people of the capital.
The writer, no matter which newspaper, invites all famous magnates and literary leaders.
These newspapers also fight for the page. Not hesitate to spend a lot of money, please come out and write articles criticizing the court.
The effect is also leveraged.
For several days, every newspaper was out of stock.
Even the "Shanhe Academy Newspaper", which was limited to the Shanhe Academy, was robbed by enthusiastic people. The students in the academy are not as fast as the folks.
Cui Qi, the youngest son of Zhen Guohou, a teacher at Qianshanhe Academy, the bishop of Qinqi, calligraphy, painting, poetry and ancient poetry.
The current identity is the chief director of Wenqing Bookstore.
Huang Qubing went to Shaofu, unable to do both.
Looking around, I finally found Cui Qi on his head.
Huang Qubing persuaded Cui Qi to run the Wenqing Bookstore and count his shares with a three-inch tongue.
After careful consideration, Cui Qi sought the opinions of his father, Zhen Guohou, and formally became the chief manager of Wenqing Bookstore and editor-in-chief of Life Show.
Faced with the loss of the Northeast Frontier Army, Cui Qi not only went off the court personally, but wrote articles in real name to criticize courtiers. It is even more drafted with San Yuan Gong, Sun Zhuangyuan and other big literary figures.
With the highest quality manuscripts and the sharpest articles, "Big Week Life Show" overwhelmed "Guo Zi Jian Bao" and became the best-selling newspaper, with sales reaching the 300,000 mark, four to five times the usual.
Cui Qi was doing his best, Huang Qubing hurried to Wenqing Bookstore.
Before he could even breathe, he hurriedly said: "Dear ministers in the middle of the country, the faces are extremely ugly these few days. You have lashed out at the courtiers in the newspaper, and you have already committed public outrage. Not surprisingly, Yushi will soon come out. , Impeach all newspapers.
Before long, the imperial court will rectify the newspaper industry. Don't want to be suspended by the court, so quickly withdraw the article. All the manuscripts of the previous appointments cannot be used. They are all replaced with articles calling on the people to donate money and materials to help the refugees. "
When Cui Qi heard this, he almost spurted blood.
"Retracted? It's easy to say. These manuscripts, I have spent countless efforts, gave up my old face, and owed the favor of the boss. You are asking me to retract the manuscript now, how can I explain it to those people? They drove me out of the house directly. Retraction, no way!"
Huang Qubing was firm and did not discuss it. "It must be retracted! I got news that there are a large number of refugees going south and they will soon enter the Gyeonggi area. Nowadays, the imperial court has to worry about not only fighting, but also about these refugees. .At this time, your manuscript is adding fuel to the fire.
In the next issue, if you dare to publish articles that are unfavorable to the court, the court will seal the "Big Zhou Life Show" with a thunderbolt. Even if Madam Zhao and His Royal Highness come forward to protect it, it is useless. Regarding the overall situation of the court, your majesty and the courtiers will never be soft. "
Cui Qi frowned, 10,000 grassy horses running across her heart.
"It must be retracted?"
Huang Qubing is definitely certain, and said without a doubt: "The manuscript must be retracted!"
"What happened to the refugee you just mentioned?"
"Bei Rong broke through three cities. Many people were taken prisoner by looting, but some of the people escaped. There are tens of thousands of people. These refugees are on their way to the capital, and the court is having trouble resettling refugees. At that time, all newspapers and periodicals must cooperate. Whoever dares to sing the opposite, the court will never be soft."
Cui Qi sighed, feeling so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
At this time, Xu Yousi also came to Wenqing Bookstore to spread the word.
"Madam requested to withdraw the article, and the content of the new issue was changed to a special issue of "Instructions for Refugees". This is an article that has already been written. Madam asked the newspaper to organize newsboys and storytellers to travel to the refugee group to publicize the instructions for refugees and to properly resettle the refugees going south."
Cui Qi picked up the manuscript and looked verbatim.
Information for refugees, including a lot of content.
The main content is that the refugee resettlement site is located in the north of the city, and a place has been demarcated and shack built.
Any refugee who does not comply with the regulations and does not report to the refugee resettlement site will be dealt with as an agent once discovered.
If you have relatives or friends in the capital who need to seek refuge, you can contact the personnel of the refugee settlement to help spread the letter. Family and friends will pick up people at refugee settlements.
All refugees will use a new identity card after entering the refugee settlement. Anyone who does not have an identity card is treated as a spy.
...
In this way, the numerous regulations appear ruthless, yet organized.
Cui Qiyi looked blank, "Why did Madam Zhao publish this "Instructions for Refugees"? The court has not yet discussed a countermeasure, and Madam Zhao does her own proposition. Will she be taboo?"
Xu Yousi said hurriedly: "Manager Cui can rest assured that the task of resettling refugees has been handed over to my wife by your majesty. The courtiers also agreed with this decision. Looking at the court, no one is more suitable to take care of than my wife. This task."
Huang Qubing asked curiously: "It takes a lot of money to settle refugees. Who will pay for the money? You can't let Madam Zhao pay for the food."
Xu You said blankly: "My wife is discussing the issue of money and food with your majesty. Whether the court is in charge of money and food, or my wife is in charge of money and food, this does not affect this "Instructions for Refugees." Just follow the instructions above for refugee resettlement. Deal with it. Next, I have to go to the first phase to recruit buddies and say goodbye!"
"Wait! Grandpa Xu went to recruit a man, what's going on?" Huang Qubing asked curiously.
Xu Yousi explained: "My wife said that the refugees know that refugees are suffering, and they know what they need and think. Recruiting the refugees of the year and temporarily serving as a refugee resettlement point helps to calm the panicked refugees and calm their emotions. Settling down smoothly."
"That's it! Mrs. Zhao's move is really thoughtful. I will go to an issue with you, just to write a manuscript about the refugees, to inspire the majority of refugees."
Cui Qi was very active and took Xu Yousi to the first phase.
Huang Qubing took the manuscript, nothing more, he temporarily acted as the editor-in-chief and did the work for Cui Qi.
