    Seeing this situation, the brave aristocratic women of the Tang Dynasty finally stood up, wrote articles one after another with their delicate hands, and submitted articles to newspapers one after another.  Although they are delicate in body, their language is extremely sharp. They not only accuse those opponents of being old-fashioned, but also cold-blooded. They only focus on attacking literature and style, but they do not see the loneliness and helplessness of the Zhang and Liu family in the article. Such an act of neglecting the basics and chasing the weak is simply  It makes little girls like them feel so cold.

    The Tang Dynasty was an open era. Although the women of the early Tang Dynasty were not yet as strong and unrestrained as they were in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, their style and behavior had already taken some shape. A young lady from a rich family who was usually timid at home was very  Maybe he was the tough author who scolded the old master bloody in the newspaper.  And precisely because of the joining of this group of women's troops, the support for Li Min and the two men immediately increased greatly, and they soon became evenly matched with the opponents.

    However, while the two sides were debating, the focus of discussion started from the dispute over the vernacular, and slowly began to spread to other aspects. For example, some people turned the war to the competition for population in industry, commerce and agriculture.  Because in addition to telling the experiences of Zhang Liu's family, Li Min's article also focused on the comparison of Zhang Liu's life before and after entering the factory, which greatly praised the positive aspects of industrial and commercial development on society.

    Naturally, many scholars from aristocratic families were extremely dissatisfied with this, because it was related to their vital interests. Therefore, taking this opportunity, many people published articles in newspapers to exaggerate the negative effects of industrial and commercial development.  Influence.  When things developed to this point, the emerging industrial and commercial owners in Datang finally couldn't sit still.

    Industry and commerce is an emerging class with complex origins. In addition to the industrial and commercial owners who originally made a living from trade, work, mining and other occupations, there are also new members from other classes, such as a few who seize opportunities or work hard to rise from the bottom of society.  People who climb up.  But now they occupy the most important position as industrial and commercial owners.  It was the emerging nobleman of the Tang Dynasty who was dragged into the trap by Li Min.  The emerging aristocrats held the core power in the court, and scholars needed the recommendation of these emerging aristocrats whether they were taking imperial examinations or serving as officials.  This also resulted in a large number of scholars gathering under each emerging noble family.

    When these emerging nobles saw that the industry and commerce they relied on were attacked.  Naturally, they would not sit back and watch, and mobilized the literati around them to fight back. Although these literati also had their own original positions, many people still chose to cater to the Tang aristocrats who were related to their official careers, so they supported Li Minzhe for a while.  The momentum surged.

    Another thing I would like to mention is that the newspaper was originally a tool used by Li Min to attack the five surnames and Qi Wang. Naturally, he would not let this tool have an adverse impact on him, so when publishing the article.  Li Min and Yan Bei made some operations to minimize the number of articles opposing them, while articles supporting their side took up a lot of space.  Such an unfair approach.  Although it attracted private abuse from many people, the effect was extremely obvious.  Soon, the public opinion in Datang, which was influenced by newspapers, slowly turned in a direction favorable to Li Min.

    "Liu Lang, one of your articles has caused harm to our newspaper office!" In a pavilion in the house where the newspaper office is located, Yan Bei was pouring out his sorrow to Li Min. During this period, not only Li Min was attacked, but also the Datang Daily was also attacked.  It was not easy, and as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Yan Bei was under tremendous pressure. If it weren't for Li Min and Li Ke behind him, he would really not be able to hold on.  Fortunately, the wind direction finally changed, and he felt a lot more relaxed. At the same time, he finally had time to complain about Li Min.

    "Brother Yan, what are you talking about? I am the one who is truly wronged. I wanted to use my name to get some glory, but I didn't expect that I would be scolded by so many people for no reason. Even my  My uncle also gave me a severe scolding!" Compared to Yan Bei who simply withstood the pressure, the unlucky Li Zhi was the most innocent one. At that time, he only beat me, and because of the shoddy whale meat, it was disgusting  I haven't eaten much in a few days. I wanted Brother Six to make up for it by adding my name to the article to satisfy my vanity of publishing the article. I didn't expect that I would suffer an unreasonable disaster.

    "Sixth brother, what you did in this matter was indeed thoughtless. I said your article was inappropriate at the beginning, but you insisted on publishing it. How about it? Did it make people angry?" Li Ke also said something rare to Li Min.  Make criticisms.

    "Yes, yes! This is all my fault. I didn't understand the seriousness of this matter in advance, which caused a lot of trouble to everyone. Li Min is here to apologize to all the brothers!" Li Min couldn't stop.  He apologized to the three of them, but looking at his smiling face, there was really no sincerity.

    Li Min was actually a little surprised that a vernacular report had such a big impact, and the subsequent situation even got out of control. Fortunately, the newspaper was his one-third of an acre, and the focus of the debate gradually changed to industry, commerce, and  FarmersHe was well prepared for the population war in ?? and used both overt and covert methods to quickly turn the situation in his favor.

    "Rokuro, look at the recent articles. Influenced by your report, coupled with the wide spread of your Romance of the Three Kingdoms, many people have begun to try to write articles in vernacular. If our newspaper publishes it, maybe  We will lose a large number of readers. If we don¡¯t publish it, but with your article in front, this will put people in the newspaper in a dilemma!" Li Ke shook the manuscript in his hand. These are all vernacular articles received by the newspaper.  Contribute.

    "Not bad, not bad. Hey, there are still people writing articles in vernacular to attack industry and commerce?" Li Min was very interested when he heard it. He took it over and flipped through it, and found that the contents were all kinds of things, and some people were advocating them.  It is very novel to criticize industry and commerce while writing in vernacular.  In fact, these should not be considered true vernacular articles, but are somewhat similar to the semi-vernacular ones in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, except that the atmosphere of classical Chinese in the articles is stronger.

    "Liu Lang, don't just look at it. Think of a way. What should we do with these vernacular articles?" Yan Bei also asked anxiously. He and Li Ke had been worried about this matter for several days.  That's why Li Min was called here, first to question him, and secondly to ask him to find a way to solve the problem.

    "This is easy to handle, isn't it just in vernacular? Then let's just run another vernacular newspaper!" Li Min said nonchalantly.

    "Run another newspaper?" Not only Yan Bei and Li Ke were surprised, but even Li Zhi, who was drinking tea, almost choked after hearing this.  All three of them knew that although Datang Daily was founded by Li Min, it was supported by Li Shimin. It was for this reason that everyone believed that Datang Daily was the mouthpiece of the imperial court for external propaganda, and even regarded it as  It became a special newspaper. I never thought that there would be a second newspaper in the Tang Dynasty.

    "Isn't it just to run another newspaper? Are you so surprised?" Li Min, a later generation, obviously has a generation gap between him and Li Ke. He never thought of running just one newspaper from the beginning, or even  Datang Daily is just a model he set up. The purpose is to let everyone see the role of newspapers, and then rush to establish various newspapers to speed up the circulation of information throughout society.

    "Liu Lang, one newspaper is enough to make you lose money. If there is one more, will it" Yan Bei asked a little uneasily. He is now the editor-in-chief of the only newspaper in the Tang Dynasty, but if there is one more  If it's a newspaper, then your worth will drop.

    Although the newspaper lost money, the money was nothing to Li Min. Therefore, as soon as Yan Bei's words came out, he immediately understood what the other party was thinking, so he said with a smile: "Brother Yan, the biggest newspaper  Its function is to spread information. If we only rely on the strength of you and me, it will be difficult to develop in a short time, so sooner or later the newspaper industry must be opened to private individuals."

    Hearing Li Min's words, Li Ke immediately frowned. After this period of time, he deeply realized the influence of newspapers, so he said with some concern: "Liu Lang, I have no objection to you wanting to start another newspaper.  But newspapers are a sharp weapon, and if we don¡¯t hold them in our hands, I¡¯m afraid we will suffer the consequences in the future!¡±

    After hearing this, Li Min showed a smug smile and said: "Hey, Brother Six, don't worry, I have already discussed this matter with Shang Shang when we first started running the newspaper, and there are corresponding checks and balances in place, so there is no need to worry at all.  The newspaper was used by others."

    Hearing what Li Min said, both Li Ke and Yan Bei felt relieved. Li Zhi was very interested in the method of checks and balances mentioned by the sixth brother and kept chasing Li Min to ask questions. However, Li Min always had a strict mouth and let him ask questions.  I didn't ask for the key for a long time. I just learned that Li Min was almost ready and would soon open a private newspaper.

    In a green bamboo forest in the south of Chang'an City, a gust of wind blew, accompanied by the sound of rustling bamboo leaves, and the sound of laughter and noise from silk bamboo and tourists.  In an open space in the bamboo forest, a party was being held. Most of the people at the party were wearing scholar's robes, and they were in small groups, reciting poems or talking about the piano. They looked very elegant.

    The people who come here to attend the party are all students from the Imperial College of the Tang Dynasty. The Imperial College is an official school established by the Tang Dynasty and is the highest institution in the national education system. Most of those who can pass the imperial examination are from the Imperial College, and even those who are successful in the imperial examination are from the Imperial College.  If you don't come from the Imperial College, it may be difficult to become an official in the future. It is precisely for this reason that the Imperial College is a holy place for study that almost all scholars aspire to.

    " However, the Imperial College is not that easy to enter. Unless one's ancestors or fathers have official titles, they are not qualified to enter.  Moreover, according to the level of official title, the scholars who go to study will be divided into different colleges and study corresponding courses. For example, the highest Guozixue only recruits noble children of third rank and above, while TaixueThe school recruits aristocratic children of fifth rank and above, etc. It can be said that the strict class structure of the Tang Dynasty is reflected in the enrollment.
