The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 131: Kaifeng Weekly


The newspapers in ancient China had many content forms and many names. Modern people should be more familiar with Di Bao, also known as Chao Bao, Jin Zuoyuan Report, etc. It mainly publishes government affairs information such as the emperor's dynamics, edicts, national decision-making, and awareness mobilization.

In addition, there are side newspapers that mainly publish border military information, and Chumu, Chushu and other newspapers that publish news about personnel appointments and removals. In fact, they also belong to the scope of Dibao.

Di newspapers established in the Han and Tang dynasties initially only copied to one person or a few people, more like official documents and intelligence, and should not be regarded as the predecessor of modern newspapers.

In the Song Dynasty, it was relatively stable. The Di newspaper was applied for and edited by the Privy Council, and sent to the local governments in the memorial court. It was one of the important sources for officials in various places to learn about the political affairs and national conditions, and it was closer to modern newspapers.

It was also in the Song Dynasty that the newspapers began to be provided only to officials and developed so that people who read can also see them. During the Southern Song Dynasty, there were even private tabloids. Of course, such newspapers that were not edited by the imperial court were illegal and were only passed on privately.

So, everyone was in a daze, because the newspapers were still very political at this time, and they didn't know what Yunyan meant when he wanted to run a government newspaper.

Besides, Di Bao, is that something everyone can do? Not to mention whether you are literate or not, Kaifeng Mansion is not a border gate, can you make a special newspaper?

"Don't look at me, I really want to do it, but don't worry, I don't do ordinary newspapers." Yun Yan replied, making everyone's expressions a little bit normal.

Zhan Zhao: "Do you want to be transferred to the Privy Council?"

Zheng Ping is even more open-minded, "Is it compiling food information from various places?"

"Huh?" Bai Yutang said, "Yes, yes, yes!"

"You can be tall!" Yun Yan glared at them, she really didn't have much to talk about.

Does Yun Yan know how to run a newspaper? The answer is yes.

Yun Yanhui didn't start out as a TV reporter. In fact, his first job after graduation was as a reporter for an internal government newspaper, and due to a shortage of staff, he had to take into account both interviews and layout. Later, I was transferred to be a TV reporter.

So if you run an internal newspaper for the Kaifeng House, it's really his job.

Yes, although Yun Yanhui wanted to start a newspaper, he didn't plan to make big news. Otherwise, he wouldn't say "Fubao", but would directly come to "Tokyo Daily" or something like that.

The booth was so big, and the hat was so big, he couldn't play it. Besides, he is from Kaifeng Mansion, he just needs to do his own affairs well.

Compared to the newspapers published in Kaifeng government office, it is easier for the leaders to accept than the modern newspapers.

——At this time, only the Privy Council is qualified to review and edit the Di Bao, but don't you have to go through Renzong's side to nod and make an opening?

Although there is no innovation in form, the content will be closer to modern newspapers. Maybe Yun Yanhui is not familiar with ancient Chinese, but he understands news, which is sometimes more important than writing.

Yun Yanhui made up her mind and started writing a plan when she was going to be at home for a few days off. He has always been so steady in his work.

As for the others, looking at Yun Yan's return, they also know that he has made up his mind. You look at me, I look at you, I don't know what will come out in the end, but they are a little curious.

Yun Yanhui, Shuangyi, and Xiaobao have brought back a lot of things from the market. In addition to the ones on the previous list, there are a lot of items that I saw in the store and bought them on a whim. Now it's time to divide them up.

If you buy on behalf of others, you don't need to pay for the toll. It's a public expense anyway, so you just need to share the business tax equally.

When it was time to eat, Zheng Ping even cooked, made a good meal, and washed the dust for the three sisters and brothers.

Yunyan wanted to cook together, but everyone thought he was tired and wouldn't let him. Therefore, Yun Yanhui only made some milk tea.

Yun Yanhui boiled a pot of milk tea with black tea, then made a large bowl of whipped cream, added salt, and poured it on top of the milk tea, it was a bowl of milk tea with milk cover.

This way of eating is lighter and more refined than the milk tea in those minority countries, and it is more in line with the taste of Tokyo people. The little tiger just wants to eat the salty and sweet milk cap.

As for Zheng Ping, she also spent a lot of thought. She knew that Brother Yan likes cooking with oil, so she prepared braised lamb chops today, and there are many kinds of stir-fried dishes.

With the wine, Yun Yanhui had a good drink with his relatives and friends that day, and everyone else went back in the evening.

……

On the second day, when Yun Yanhui woke up, he picked up the little tiger sleeping on his bed, made fried dough sticks, and served it with rice and water for him.

Since the little tiger came back with Yunyan, he ate very well, and it was not obvious on the road because of the poor conditions, but from the milk tea with milk capped last night to the fried dough sticks this morning, he especially liked it.

"Eat slowly." Yun Yan emphasized back.

He was going to take the little tiger to Yunpusi this morning, so it's better to do it as soon as possible.

After arriving at Yun Pusi's place, Yun Yanhui realized that most of them were still sleeping, because the barbecue restaurant was busy until midnight every day, so their work and rest time was adjusted accordingly.

Yun Yanhui woke up Yun Pusi and pointed to the little tiger to show him.

Yun Pusi knew yesterday that Brother Yan was back, and Zheng Ping sent someone to tell all relatives and friends, but Yun Yanhui had to come back every day and they couldn't walk away from the booth, so they planned to visit him today. Home visit, by the way to get things purchased on behalf of it.

At this moment, Yun Pusi looked at the little tiger, but was stunned.

Damn, this is a little wild goose.

Yun Yanhui told him the origin of the little tiger, "Do you know that place?"

Yun Pusi thought for a while, "No, there is no such place around our stockade, and his Miao language is too far from ours, it is definitely not the same. Our foreign language is not the same. Married women also marry around, and if men go out, most of them go to Han Chinese places, just like us.”

Their stockades are of a relatively high degree of Sinicization, and many of them even moved directly to places where the Han Chinese were like them. Judging from the appearance of the little tiger who can't speak Chinese, the environment in which he grew up can be imagined.

Yun Yan Hui was disappointed, but he still asked Yun Pusi to send a message back to his hometown, asking the old people in his hometown to recall and inquire.

On the other hand, Yun Yanhui also made another preparation. If the feedback from his hometown was unsatisfactory, he decided to use the relationship of Kaifeng Prefecture to find out which Miao people were in Tokyo, and then inquired about them one by one. Ask them to identify the little tiger's accent, perhaps to confirm which Miao tribe the little tiger is.

After confirming the area, Yun Yanhui was able to ask Zhao Yunchu to help, and asked the local magistrate to help find it.

Whether there is a clue in my hometown, or I find a clue in Tokyo later, it is estimated that it will take some time to find the little tiger's house. Yun Yan looked left and right to see that the little tiger was so similar to herself, but still felt that there was more hope in the stockade, so she decided to wait.

During this time, the little tiger lived in his house. Yun Yanhui felt that they got along very happily.

Yun Yanhui wanted to teach the little tiger Chinese. For such a long period of time, the little tiger could not be allowed to communicate only with him and his mother. Anyway, children are also highly receptive.

……

When the holiday was over, Yun Yanhui planned to go to work, especially when he reported his new ideas to Bao Zheng, only to realize that it was not good.

Little tiger, he hugs Yun Yanhui's leg and doesn't let go.

It was already very predestined, and in the past few days, they became more affectionate, and Yun Yanhui also hugged the little tiger sadly: "Tiger, it's not that my brother doesn't want to take you with me, but, look at other people Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang. They're all guards with knives, and I'm on duty with my baby, right?"

The little tiger didn't understand, but the rest of the family heard black lines: "..."

Yun Yanhui handed the little tiger to Zheng Ping to watch, and went to work by herself.

He found Bao Zheng early in the morning.

"Fu Zun, it's like this, I have a proposal, let's make a government newspaper." Yun Yan blinked back.

With Bao Zheng's brain, he immediately thought of what it was, but he didn't understand, "Why? Who asked for this?"

He always felt that no matter who asked for it, it didn't look like Yun Yan returned to him. He had heard about Yun Yanhui's refusal to go to school when he was a child, so he felt that Yun Yanhui didn't hate it, at least he preferred daily chores.

Yunyan replied: "As far as I think, I hope to set up a prefectural newspaper to publish news about our Kaifeng officials at all levels, including Chiji, urban areas, and our Cao divisions. The atmosphere in our mansion is getting better and better, the unity is close, it is necessary to develop downward, and to increase communication with the people, the government and the people are one family.”

As soon as Yun Yanhui rose to the level of the official and civilian family, Bao Zheng couldn't sit still, put down the official document he was still looking at, and said, "Tell me in detail."

Yun Yan replied: "This will start from the page of our "Kaifeng Weekly"..."

Bao Zheng thought to himself, what, did you even have a name? Still the page?

"Well, you continue to say..."

"It is divided into eight pages, including important news in the urban area, as well as new events in Chi and Ji counties, from all aspects. Interpretation of policies to benefit the people and publish relevant information. More importantly, it is to report on some officials at all levels. Organizing or participating in activities beneficial to the general public..."

"The government at all levels has appointed correspondents who are responsible for collecting and writing news in their respective territories, or providing news clues..."

"In the literary and art section, you can publish poems and songs..."

"The number of manuscripts submitted will be included in the year-end assessment..."

……

At this time, Yun Yanhui also took out the sample magazine he made.

This is according to the format of a modern newspaper. The content is actually just a few lines, symbolizing words, and the main point is to draw out each headline. The title is equivalent to the condensed content, so you can know the general meaning at a glance.

These nonsense titles are similar to "The government of Kaifeng will donate thousands of jins of watermelon in dog days", "The villagers voted the most beautiful yamen, and they have been doing things for the people for decades." "Guardian with a sword in front of the imperial guard" and so on, each corresponding to the sections of government affairs, people's livelihood and so on.

Bao Zheng couldn't help laughing when he saw this wording, but also felt the attraction, such as the last one, he really wanted to know what would happen if it really happened...

Because of the nature of the Dibao at this time, Bao Zheng naturally wouldn't say that it's a waste of us to do it so well that the public can't see it. This is basically the same as the residence newspaper, only officials and scholars can see it.

But Yun Yan looked back like this, and it was indeed very beneficial. With such a platform established, many good things that were previously unknown can be better disseminated, giving people some psychological satisfaction, and also motivating other people, not to mention the assessment-related points, which can be added.

In this way, it does help the whole Kaifeng Prefecture to be more united, and encourages everyone to do more for the people and have fun with the people.

Also, the entire content is very positive and insensitive, it doesn't talk about higher-level state affairs, and it doesn't deliberately report on Bao Zheng's news, making it seem like he's trying to make a name for himself, entirely for the entire Kaifeng Mansion.

"It's a good idea, and there's probably no problem with the official side. It's just that this newspaper is the official newspaper of Kaifeng. "..." Bao Zheng was talking, and found that Yun Yan was staring at him in a righteous manner.

Bao Zheng was a little embarrassed, "Ah, do you want to make it up yourself?"

Yunyan gritted her teeth and said, "Aren't you, nonsense, right?"
