When talking about the word "frontier", most people first think of the long land border from Shanhaiguan to Jiayuguan, the Mongols and Jurchens with braids, rather than the sea border from Liaodong to Hainan Island. This subconscious psychological choice is precisely because the north has brought too much trauma to China.

"Southeast Asia will remain the backyard of our dynasty for a hundred years, but Russia will rise within a hundred years and become a thorn on our dynasty vest." The sentence written by Zhou Heng came from the golden mouth of His Majesty the Emperor. He could still remember that the young emperor made such a prediction with a firm and unquestionable tone.

As a scholar full of passionate blood, Zhou Heng's political beliefs were the emperor and the Ming Empire. When he was summoned, his inner excitement and joy were indescribable, and only the ancient saying "A scholar died for his confidant" echoed in his mind.

Zhu Cilang still had a "historical" impression of Chen Zilong, but Zhou Heng was simply because of Li Banghua's recommendation. However, after meeting these two young officials in person, Zhu Cilang prefers Zhou Heng.

Chen Zilong was favored by girls like Liu Rushi, which shows that his appearance and personality were deeply in line with the current aesthetic views. After the national change, he was in Nanjing and was able to bluntly say that "borrowing the enemy to suppress the enemy" was a great mu. However, in Zhu Cilang's eyes, Chen Zilong might be able to become a chief official and even become a prime minister, but lacked radicalism and enthusiasm.

There were never a shortage of radical and enthusiastic civil servants in the Ming Dynasty, but it was difficult for such people to survive in the officialdom.

Zhou Heng is obviously one of them.

If the Ming Dynasty had not had the Jiashen Kingdom change, perhaps it would be difficult for this young juren to let him go. He would be a teacher for life and then return to his hometown to teach his children as a psychic. Only in extreme accidents can he become a figure like Hai Rui, but the Ming Dynasty's officialdom was destined not to let him go too far.

However, Li Banghua knew that such officials were needed in the new era.

After meeting Chen Zilong and Zhou Heng, Zhu Cilang placed Chen Zilong in the Censorate. After one or two years of training, he could be released as the inspector censor, and then promoted to the Censor of the Supervisor. After Ren Man, he returned to the court to serve as the Chief Inspector, which was just enough to take over Li Zhensheng's stance.

However, Zhou Heng should have a broader and more free platform.

"I will hand over the "Huangming News" to you. From now on, you will be my words." Zhu Cixuan independentized the "Huangming News" from the Censorate and handed it to Zhou Heng with confidence.

Zhou Heng also showed his superb efficiency, quickly occupied several tabloids and formed Huangming Newspaper Group, covering the readership of high, medium and low levels. At the same time, he served as the chief editor of two newspapers, personally writing notifications and editorials to ensure that the entire newspaper group is from top to bottom, and what they say and what they say comes from the will of the emperor.

"Recently, some people have always advocated that the south and then the north are first. They believe that the Eastern Gangsters are destroyed and the Mongolian Tatars will no longer have the power to attack the borders. This is a good time to recover the southeast islands." Zhou Heng said at the editor-in-chief meeting of the newspaper group: "This argument is obviously the voice of the Southeast powerful families! We must refute it with words! Some people have proposed that the north and south advance together, which is also the wish of the countryside, and cannot be left alone. During this period, each newspaper started with historical books, distinguished the main and the secondary, and explained the necessity of attacking Mongolia.

"I personally think that there are two points that must be written clearly and repeatedly said. First, the Mongol Yuan ruthless China is a national hatred. Second, the changes in the capital and the emperor are humiliated, which is a national humiliation. The national hatred and national humiliation are still revenge in the nine generations! You can gather your thoughts and report them.

"At the same time, we should also recruit more visitors to the northern desert, the Western Regions, and the South Ocean. We should conduct a clear investigation and demonstrate that we can now go north but not south. This is the main task of the first year of Longjing. We must ensure that the people are united and not deceived by the powerful families.

"Finally, we must also seize the matter of integrating the newspaper industry in Jiangnan. Now many newspapers in Jiangnan are said to be from the Eastern Palace lineage. What is the result? The right and wrong are not distinguished, and the black and white are unknown, and they are often used by the remnants of Donglin. How can we let this kind of thing be left alone? Before the first year of Longjing, we had to buy what we should buy, and if we couldn't buy it, we should keep a close eye on it. Once they have any violations, we should report it to the Censorate immediately."

The editors in charge nodded and thought about how to use these instructions into their newspapers. It is convenient to find some Qingkes who have been living in brothels and pear gardens for many years, and write the history of the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties in a storybook and serialize them in the newspapers. For the Huangming News and Shuntianfu News, it is enough to publish some high-level official words.

The difficulty is that those mid-range newspapers that are appreciated by both the elite and the masses really require some brainpower. Their readers often have some recognition ability. Although they cannot make louder sounds, they have a bit of reputation within the short and short range of streets. These people will not be influenced by words or believe in official articles, which is the most difficult to do.

...

Yin Rusong walked in the secluded path of Tsinghua Park with his hands behind his back, breathing the fragrance of the bamboo forest, sweeping away the depression in his chest.

His application has not been approved.

This is the third time that I have been rejected.

As the first graduate of the geography department of Jingshi University, Professor Xiong Renlin's introductory disciple and lecturer of Jingshi University's geography department, Yin Rusong applied for three consecutive inspections on the situation of the people in the southwest, but they were all blocked. Even his mentor was unhappy with his stubbornness.

As the son of Xiong Mingyu, Xiong Renlin was rigorous in his family and kind in character. He also favored Yin Rusong, believing that he could inherit his legacy and carry forward geography. Yin Rusong was able to receive such high praise not only because of his achievements in place name science and mapping science, but also because of his talent for holistic viewing.

"Geography is not only a place name and map, but also a general environment where people and nature rely on coexistence. Mountains, water flow, soil, and climate are all geography." This is the general outline of Yin Rusong's graduate thesis "Geography of the Capital", which thoroughly explores the mountains, rivers and local styles of the capital area, and is regarded as the standard by Shuntian Prefecture and related prefectures.

However, the dissertation of such a level failed to obtain a doctorate degree because it was inconsistent with Xiong Renlin's academic thoughts.

Xiong Renlin is a pure map name scientist. For "heretics" like Yin Rusong, he still has the idea of ​​"rescuing the right way".

However, Yin Rusong not only did not realize Professor Xiong's painstaking efforts, but also went further and further. Recently, he proposed the distinction between "natural geography" and "human geography", and applied to go to the southwest provinces to inspect the barbarian tribes, and had a great momentum to establish a sect.

Unfortunately, it's an evil sect!

Xiong Renlin could barely accept the theory of natural geography, and he regretted that Yin Rusong's doctoral title was stuck at that time. However, after seeing the humanistic geography that Yin Rusong is now widely advocated, Professor Xiong was completely angry.

——This is not geography at all!

Professor Xiong insisted.

——Why isn’t this geography?

As a disciple, Yin Rusong is just a matter of this stubbornness.

Yin Rusong thought of staying at work for a trip to Yunnan and Guizhou, but his family was just an ordinary well-off home and was not enough to afford such a large amount of money.

He also considered looking for merchants to support, but when the merchants heard that they were investigating the people's conditions, their interest was greatly weakened unless Yin Rusong could also bring back the landscape map of the southwest.

"Actually, you just say that you are inspecting the southwest terrain and geography and revising the map. When you get there, are you still the final decision?" Someone gave him an idea.

This may not be a solution, but scholars cultivate a sense of righteousness. How can they deceive their superiors and subordinates in such matters and have different opinions!

"Boxiao, it's so hard to find you!"

Yin Rusong looked up and found that it was his classmate and friend Wang Zhi. He stepped forward and bowed: "What do you think of Brother Ruoshan?"

"There is a happy event to talk to my brother." Wang Zhi took out a piece of paper from his big sleeve and handed it to Yin Rusong while replying to the gift.

Yin Rusong took the paper and read it out. It turned out to be a notice of Huangming Newspaper recruitment of foreign interviewers.

"Boxiao, what? Is it a happy event?" Wang Zhi smiled.

Yin Rusong had already seen the final report. The recruitment document clearly stated that the foreign interviewers were going to the northern desert, the Western Regions, and the South China Sea to inspect the terrain and people's conditions. It was the "big geography" proposed by Yin Rusong, which included "natural geography" and "human geography".

However, the position of lecturer at Jingshi University is precious, and teaching and educating people is also done by ancient sages. Generally speaking, if students who graduated from the Department of Geography fail to get a professor and go to the postgraduate studies, most of them will work in the Ministry of War. A few students with accomplishments on the map have also been poached to other schools to be lecturers.

A very small number of people would work in a business, although their income and benefits were far higher than those of the Ministry of War and the school.

Although Huangming Newspaper is looking up with the rise of "Huangming", it is just a business name after all.

It's just better than ordinary mediocre businessmen who just make profits.

This is the conflict between reality and ideal!

Yin Rusong took the recruitment documents of Huangming newspaper industry and was unable to decide whether he would stay or not. When he went to the newspaper to be an interviewer, some people seemed to be walking down the road, but this was indeed a good way, at least someone could report the funds.

"Being an interviewer is naturally too incompetent. Brother Yu means that you either go to Huangming Newspaper to talk to him and seek funding." Wang Zhi woke up the dreamer with a word.

Since Huangming Newspaper needs interviewers to do these things, wouldn’t it be even more important to fund a teacher from a Shishi University? The university prefers science and engineering for funding approval, but no matter which department, as long as it can receive funding, the school has never opposed the project establishment.

"Thank you, Brother Ruoshan, for your advice. I'll go find them now." Yin Boxiao gave a hurried gift and ran quickly outside the campus.

For Huangming Newspaper, if lecturers from Jingshi University participate and write articles, they will undoubtedly improve the credibility and authority of the articles. Now everyone knows that Jingshi University specializes in miscellaneous studies and takes the path of studying things to gain knowledge, and has profound attainments in various miscellaneous studies.

But the hidden truths are unknown.

What Huangming newspapers need is the factual argument that war cannot begin in the south now. If the lecturer goes there and comes up with a different opinion from the above, what should we do? (To be continued...)
