MTL - Red Alert 1895-Chapter 898 The Lost Literati (Part 1)
d "Your Majesty, I guess there are some problems with these newspapers." Hu Ling, director of the State Security Bureau, said.
"Huh? What's the problem?" Wang Guorui asked.
Hu Ling, director of the State Security Bureau, brought some newspapers to Wang Guorui. Wang Guorui looked at the newspapers, then frowned, but he still didn't care. Because this newspaper actually scolded him for being a great successor, calling him a great successor king who spends money everywhere. Then by extorting money from businessmen to call it "sponsorship", this is to exploit the people. And this kind of scolding Wang Guorui obviously happened all over the country, and officials all over the country were no strangers to it. This kind of era in which it is proud to scold the emperor every day and every day, except for the Song and Ming dynasties, is now. Moreover, in the Song and Ming dynasties, only civil servants scolded, but now some literary people all over the world dare to come out and scold.
If it was in the Manchu Qing era, whoever dared to do this would definitely lose his head, and maybe even implicate his family. The literary inquisition during the Qing Dynasty was crazy, and it was the craziest era of literary inquisition, and no one dared to underestimate it. However, I have to say that the suppression of literary inquisition in the Qing Dynasty made those literati very dissatisfied. Once the literati are dissatisfied, but the real environment cannot satisfy their desire to scold the emperor, they can only endure it. The so-called extremes must be reversed. The Manchu Qing era suppressed too much, so the heart suddenly opened up, and everyone found that the emperor who scolded Wang Guorui would not be beheaded most of the time, let alone implicate his family. Even if you use insulting words inappropriately, you will be detained for seven to fifteen days at most, and even if you slander, you will be imprisoned for one or two years at most.
Therefore, such a low "crime cost" has caused many people to vent their dissatisfaction with the oppression of imperial power. In the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, these literati were severely oppressed, so now Wang Guorui has become a punching bag, and they began to curse people vigorously, especially scolding Wang Guorui, the emperor, who never tires of it. This is the feeling of the so-called turned serfs. Although it was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty who oppressed them, Wang Guorui is also the emperor now, representing the imperial power. So Wang Guorui had to become a scapegoat punching bag.
However, Wang Guorui is not the kind of ancient feudal emperor after all, he knows that being an emperor requires the consciousness of being scolded. If you are not prepared to be scolded, what kind of politician are you? It is impossible for a politician to satisfy the requirements of everyone, and it is impossible to satisfy the requirements of all classes. This is impossible even if the gods come. So if you are scolded, just pretend you didn't hear it. Anyway, instead of blocking them and not scolding them, they will really want to use knives and guns to revolt. Is it better to be scolded or to be "revolutionized" by others in the future? You won't lose a piece of meat if you are scolded, but you will lose your head if you revolutionize!
"You don't need to show me this kind of thing. Anyway, reading it will affect your mood. Why do you show me this kind of thing? There are not one thousand, but eight hundred of this kind of newspaper every day. Don't take it seriously! Now that the media review has passed, I will not say anything. If I want to seize it because of this shit, then there is no newspaper in our country that is completely clean, even all our official newspapers. I am sure you have nothing to do with them Any remarks that have scolded me? I am afraid that even my own official newspaper dare not say that there is no such thing. Why do you care about these crap? Is it because your State Security Bureau is too idle. Want to find something to do?" Wang Guorui said.
Hu Ling quickly explained and said, "Your Majesty, if it was that simple, I wouldn't bother you out of trouble. Instead, our special intelligence analysts sent you some of the situations in this newspaper, which are very sensitive. I don't know what's going on."
"Oh? What's the problem?" Wang Guorui asked.
Hu Ling quickly explained: "Your Majesty, look at this newspaper. Although he looks similar to the article scolding the Emperor. However, he has listed a lot of data here, especially the data about these celebrations we hold. And The data of infrastructure construction in various places. There are even a lot of various data, which are individual data. Although these data are not absolutely confidential, they are also confidential to a certain extent. Even many government officials do not It’s too clear. But these people are all clear, and I asked the relevant departments. These data are actually true, and the error is within 1%!”
"What?" Wang Guorui finally frowned at this moment.
Wang Guorui knew that many economic data and various financial statements in the government were not absolutely confidential, but they were mostly confidential within a certain range, and it was not so easy to get them. However, many government employees cannot speak publicly without public permission, otherwise they will be punished lightly or prosecuted. But the people who scolded themselves in these newspapers. To be able to come up with so much data, then things are different.
"How did they get this data?" Wang Guorui asked.
"There are two possibilities. One is that someone inside our government leaked secrets. But I don't think so, because these data are still 1% wrong. And these data are related to no less than a dozen departments. Could it be that more than a dozen departments Have the departments leaked the secrets together? I don’t believe that people in more than a dozen departments leaked the secrets, so I think they speculated on their own.”
"But it's impossible for them to speculate on their own. You can see that all of them are from traditional literati. Since these traditional literati stopped the imperial examination, they have no living skills, and they have almost no skills in mathematics and the like. They don’t know anything. Even many of them can only make a living by selling their ancestral property, and from time to time, they go to court because they are cheated on the digital game. Moreover, they don’t even understand the drafting of the contract, and many of them don’t even know the price. They don’t understand either, what other people say is what they say. They even want to save face and find a few book boys to take care of their lives, so that everyone knows that these so-called literati are fat sheep who can only write articles, and everyone is waiting to share a cup Soup!"
"However, these literati don't even know the mathematics of their own lives on weekdays. They actually understand such advanced government expenditure reports, and they can calculate them one by one. Moreover, even if they do their own research, they can't calculate it so accurately. So there are experts behind them giving advice! As for these experts, I now have an idea. These people seem to have some contacts with foreigners, but we have not caught and have actual evidence. These guys seem to understand very well, they The data obtained are semi-public, and if necessary, there are some relationship networks that can be obtained. Even if the data is leaked, it is a matter of punishment, not too strict confidentiality. We are not even able to Punish them for the so-called leakage of state secrets, because these are only kept secret for one or two years in principle, and it is difficult to impose severe sentences on them.”
"So these data are obviously someone who helped them estimate, and obtained the data after careful calculation, and then they used it to attract attention!"
Wang Guorui knows that there is a kind of person who specifically lists data one by one in the article, and then acts as if the data is true. These data seem to be easier to believe, because the so-called hearing is believing, seeing is believing, with such and actual data, it can really make people believe that their words are true.
After all, after seeing so much data, many people will subconsciously think that there is a feeling of "tallness", which makes them subconsciously feel that the data is true. And this data is actually true, and many people will make "comparisons" by themselves. The wealth they come into contact with daily is just their own monthly salary, and then they use their monthly salary to "comparison" with the above data, so it is easy to draw a conclusion that the number is quite the same.
In fact, a person's level often determines his vision. If the comparison data of ordinary workers is often his own salary income, and then they use their own salary income to "comparison" with the state's finances, they will soon have It is the result of the country spending money "lavishly".
But in fact, for a government, spending hundreds of millions ~www.novelbuddy.com~ is actually not a strange thing. Of course, as long as it is where it should be spent, the hundreds of millions are worth it. However, many ordinary workers often just use their own salary as a comparison, so the way they compare is obviously very different. Comparing a person's monthly salary with a country's government's financial investment, isn't this asking for trouble? But in fact, there are quite a few people who "ask for trouble".
"Huh, most of them are down-and-out literati who have received money from foreigners or got some promises. This kind of down-and-out literati are useless to do business, but they are very good at this kind of stupid thing. They want to be officials and want to make a fortune , but there is no way out, and the result is that he blames everyone, as if the whole country and society owe him. This kind of guy is easily bewitched by foreigners, let me check!" Wang Guorui said.
Wang Guorui is very aware of this kind of down-and-out literati, and there are many later generations of this kind of birdman. They want to be officials but can't find opportunities. Guys like them want to be high-ranking figures in society, but they can't get up. But they also have ambitions, and then they are not willing to work down-to-earth. This kind of people who can't get up and down are the most likely to be dissatisfied with society. They have no real skills, but they are full of those fake things. There have been many such bird people since ancient times.
"You just scold me, and I don't care if you complain about it. But if you have the courage to collude with foreigners, then don't blame me for being rude!" Wang Guorui sneered. (to be continued.) c
