Chapter 146 Folk
Li Junwei believed that Lin Junhong's plan was good, and Ozil also mentioned this incident many times in the letters he contacted. The regime he established was already full of corruption and tendency to enjoy himself. Although he was strict with himself and attacked heavily, he was constantly banned.
In fact, this is also true in the empire. The difference is that the bureaucracy of the empire is based on a complete set of systems. The Diba regime in Tibet originated more from Ozil's personal authority.
"Was the Lifan Academy coming forward or the Zhonggong coming forward for contacting Ozil?" Li Junhua looked at Li Junwei.
Li Junwei thought for a while and said, "It's winter now, and it's very dangerous to enter Tibet in winter."
"So I won't let you go." Li Junhua smiled.
"It's dangerous for anyone." Li Junwei responded.
"Anyway, there is no hurry. After the New Year is gone, arrange a delegation to go. If you have any good candidates, you can recommend it." Li Junhua did not make a decision on the spot. He liked to give his younger brother more trust, not because of brotherhood, nor because of blindness, but because this younger brother never disappointed him.
“Woo woo….”
A train rang out the whistle to enter the station, and the brand new locomotive pulled more than a dozen carriages, drove into Shenjing West Station with a thumping groan, and then slowly stopped.
This is a passenger train from Jiangning City. After entering the station, thousands of people came out of the carriage, which was the most prosperous area of the empire that there was such a large number of passenger flows.
A young man stood in the VIP channel specially used by passengers in the first class carriage, and carefully identified the passengers. When the last person came out, he did not see the person he wanted to pick up, and immediately became anxious.
"Mr. Xu, why don't we go in and look for it. Maybe that Mr. Sun fell asleep in the carriage." said the coachman beside him.
The coachman accompanied the young man surnamed Xu into the station. After searching all the first-class carriages, he did not find Mr. Sun who was about to greet him. So he hurriedly asked the first-class cabin crew. The flight attendant checked the passenger list, but there was a passenger named Sun Weigong. The young man surnamed Xu said: "He came from Jiangning. I just know that he was here today. I don't know how he was dressed. By the way, he was very white, very white, and very tall, and he must be 1.8 meters tall..."
"Oh, I've seen the gentleman you mentioned. He is very polite. When he hit me, he will even say sorry to me." A young girl who was cleaning suddenly interrupted.
"Then have you seen him get off the car?" the young man surnamed Xu asked immediately.
The little girl smiled and said, "I definitely can't see him get off the bus. That's right. After getting on the bus in Jiangning, the polite gentleman asked for newspapers and a glass of water, but... but a child cried, so the newspapers were all gone by his mother. The gentleman didn't have a newspaper and said that the journey was definitely boring, so he went to the back car, Suzhou Station, and Changzhou Station, and didn't see him coming back. I thought he had gotten off."
The flight attendant who first received the young man named Xu immediately apologized: "I'm sorry sir, I didn't find that sir."
The young man surnamed Xu laughed and said, "No need to apologize, I already know where he is."
After saying that, the young man surnamed Xu took the coachman and left the first class cabin, and then searched one by one. Finally, in the most chaotic second class cabin, he found his friend Sun Weigong.
The guy sat at the end of a carriage, sitting cross-legged on the ground. Two men sat in front of him, surrounded by a ball of peanut shells and two bottles of wine. Sun Weigong did not eat or drink, but listened to the man's spitting and talking about his experience of whaling when he was young. Sun Weigong held a pen and recorded it in his small notebook.
"Hey, Brother Sun, Brother Sun, you're at the station." The young man surnamed Xu went up and patted his shoulder.
Sun Weigong looked up and said in surprise: "Enli, why are you here?"
"I'm here to pick you up." Xu Enli explained.
"But I haven't finished listening to this story yet. Let's get off the next stop." Sun Weigong said.
Xu Enli knew his friend's temper and immediately said to the groom: "You get off the car and drive to Shenjingdong Station to wait for us."
Sun Weigong is now a journalist. Although he is young, he is very famous in the Shenjing cultural circle. The reason is that this guy is bold, careful and not afraid of death.
When he was nineteen years old, before he graduated from the journalism department of Imperial University, this guy pretended to be an accountant and sneaked into a honeycomb coal factory in Shin Kyung, saving more than a dozen enslaved mentally retarded workers. As a result, this factory was the property of a member of a certain House of Representatives, and Sun Weigong was almost beaten to death.
Although the criminals were punished and the enslaved people were rescued, Sun Weigong was not allowed to graduate because of that incident.
However, his affairs were interrogated by Su Ri'an of the Ministry of Justice, and finally became known to the emperor. Sun Weigong not only received the emperor's reception, but also praised as the most conscientious reporter of this dynasty.
This time, Sun Weigong went to Jiangning to interview Baiwangfu Street.
Jiangning Baiwangfu Jie is a folk title. After the establishment of the empire, it treated the nobles of the previous dynasty with preferential treatment. Most of the nobles received the mansions given by Li Mingxun in Jiangning. They could be treated according to the old title, but they could not be inherited. At the same time, they also lost the freedom to leave Jiangning City.
Thirty years have passed, and most of the nobles of that year have passed away, but their descendants are still not allowed to leave Jiangning. Sun Weigong just went to learn about this matter. However, after halfway through the work, he received the news that Bugui Nu had sued the emperor, so he ended up and took the train back.
Xu Enli is a classmate and friend of Sun Weigong, but Xu Enli is different from Sun Weigong. He was born into a wealthy family. The Xu family opened a bookstore in the Zhu Ming Dynasty. After the establishment of the empire, they even planned to run newspapers and were also a well-known family in the media industry.
Thirty-two-year-old Xu Enli has already joined the family's company. This time he took the initiative to pick up Sun Weigong, which has both important and private affairs.
The two got off the bus at the East Station and invited two old sailors to have dumplings in the restaurant next to the railway station. After listening to the story of the whaling ship, Sun Weigong really came to his senses.
"Tell me, I have arranged a welcome banquet for you. You have to eat dumplings here, really." Xu Enli was very unhappy because he had been sent by his fathers and was about to introduce Sun Weigong to a few friends to meet, and to plan something together.
Sun Weigong knew why his old friend was so active, not because the two hadn't seen each other for half a year, but because of Sun Weigong's current status change.
Nowadays, the case of Bugui Slaves has become very big in the empire, and the whole country is paying attention to this case. All forces are involved, and most of them want to make this matter bigger. Then, not only do they have to deal with the external vassals, but also spread the fire. The inner vassals and the Senate are all cleaned up.
Therefore, although Li Junhua had asked Su Ri'an to handle the case specifically, all parties also actively intervened. Su Ri'an followed the public's opinion and first arranged an independent legal team to provide legal support for the representatives who did not return to slaves. The most important thing was to transfer him out of the imperial prison and place him in the Shenjing First Prison. King Abunai, who also entered together was also Chahar.
Su Ri'an also promised that the public's right to know must be safeguarded. Therefore, in addition to meeting lawyers, representatives who do not belong to slaves can also have an independent spokesperson to endorse him.
Sun Weigong worked in Gyeonggi for four years, had contacted the group of non-return slaves, and knew Bagher. The two had worked together. So after being allowed to have a spokesperson, Bagher's first thought of Sun Weigong.
Xu Enli's newspaper naturally moved, hoping to get first-hand news with the help of Sun Weigong's relationship.
"Enli, I know who you are going to take me to meet, but I can't meet. This is for fairness and justice." Sun Weigong said bluntly.
Xu Enli was not surprised by Sun Weigong's indifferent attitude, because his friend has always been like this. Xu Enli simply said publicly: "Brother Sun, then are you willing to use our Songjiang Morning Post to release first-hand news?"
Sun Weigong asked back, "Then can you agree not to change a word?"
The empire has always been very strict in the regulation of media, including newspapers. As early as when Li Junhua ascended the throne, he passed the Copyright Act. Later, the bill was revised twice. One principle was determined, that is, the content in major media, creators and publishers enjoy common copyrights, and the obligations and responsibilities that need to be assumed are also equivalent, and they must be worked in real-name form.
In other words, if Sun Weigong published content in the Songjiang Morning Post, he and Songjiang Morning Post would be responsible for it.
It is precisely because of this shared responsibility that newspapers and other publications in the empire are strictly self-censored. For example, independent writers are difficult to get the opportunity to publish, especially to discuss politics. They publish content that is not allowed and can pat their butts and run away, but the editors and bosses of the newspaper cannot escape.
Generally speaking, the manuscripts invited by newspapers will be strictly reviewed, and the editors will make some modifications, especially political comments.
"Can't agree." Xu Enli said.
Sun Weigong smiled and said, "Okay, if you can't agree to this, I'd better not go there. Enli, you know me, I'm not very good at being a human being. When the time comes, everyone will not look good in terms of face. The scale of the case of Buren's slaves this time is quite large. If you dress up like this, come to pick me up. Needless to say, there must be many elders at the banquet. If you really can't cooperate together, you will really be unfamiliar with inside and outside."
Xu Enli waved his hand: "I won't mention the reception banquet, so I will say that I won't return to the slave case. Brother Sun, you and I have known each other for many years and have a good understanding of each other. You also know that I am not the kind of person who takes advantage of the issue. I am a businessman, but I still have a bottom line. I really want to take the opportunity to expand the market share of our Songjiang Morning Post, but there will still be principled reports.
I can't do it if you let me report your content word for word. Because I know that your Sun Weigong is just a thorn. The same fact can be expressed in more euphemistic language. However, you deliberately wrote that you had a gun and a stick, which is your personality, so it is not possible to keep it silent. Otherwise, people from the Security Bureau and the Press Review Office of the General Administration will come to your door, which will become a pre-publication review. How can you calculate first-hand news at that time?"
Sun Weigong was unmoved. If Xu Enli was not a person with principles, the two would not have maintained a good personal relationship until now. However, Sun Weigong had worked for more than ten years and knew that Xu Enli was also a businessman. The businessman was weak and good at compromising and changing his mind. This was not a problem of language style at all, and he did not want to be avoided on some key issues.
Xu Enli pulled Sun Weigong into the carriage and continued to persuade: "I know, you don't want to cooperate with me because you are the spokesperson for Buguinu. There are a lot of media channels waiting to disclose your content. And according to the Imperial News Law, as a spokesperson, the content you published cannot be deliberately misinterpreted or deleted at will.
But I know more clearly that you don’t just want to be a memoir. You have been in the north for four years for the case of Bugui Nu. You have your own opinions and ideas. You always have to have channels to publish these."
"So I will ask you if you can post my things word by word. If you can't do it, someone will do it." Sun Weigong said.
Xu Enli said: "No one can do it, all newspapers are like this. I tell you, the case of Bugui Nu is very big, and you can't grasp who is very deep. If you leave it to me, I can grasp it."
"Are you telling a joke?" Sun Weigong asked back.
Xu Enli said: "My grandfather and my father are all in this business. You know, my cousin married into Prince Yu's Mansion, and my cousin worked in the Senate. I will tell you the interests of this matter. If you can't agree to me today, I will not participate in the case of "Bao Ren Nu."
"Is it so powerful?" Sun Weigong did not expect Xu Enli to have this attitude.
Xu Enli nodded seriously. After Sun Weigong hesitated, he still shook his head, not wanting to hang himself on this tree.
"I don't ask you to write as I ask, and you won't change your article at will. I'm the same. How do we create together? Anyway, the responsibility is shared. This is a big problem. On this issue, it's wrong to be peaceful and too sharp." Xu Enli continued to persuade.
Sun Weigong thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll think about it."
Xu Enli knew that he still had to contact other media and immediately said, "Of course I have to consider it. I won't force you. But I still have to take the opportunity to express my sincerity."
"Why, I'm so anxious to talk about the money?"
"Do you care about money?" Xu Enli was a little angry.
Sun Weigong thought to himself that this classmate knew his temper, so he said, "Then what sincerity do you want to talk about?"
