According to the provisions on copyright in the newly revised Civil Code of the Ming Dynasty, if an interviewer accepts texts created by the newspaper due to his position, his ownership belongs to the newspaper. The newspaper has the right to publish the page once or several times at the time it deems appropriate, and has the right to resell other newspapers, or to prohibit other newspapers from publishing it.

Freelance writers are not subject to this restriction.

Moreover, funding behavior is regarded as a causeless behavior in the Ming Dynasty civil law system, that is, no reason or motivation is considered. If a freelance writer who was self-service by the newspaper wrote an article that was inconsistent with the newspaper's position, the newspaper could not even stop him from submitting it to his competitors.

This is why Zhou Heng needs interviewers instead of freelance writers.

However, Yin Rusong's resume was so beautiful, and the new way of geography he created caused a great response in the Ming Dynasty officialdom and opened up ideas for the majority of local officials. Although Yin Rusong himself did not realize this, Zhou Heng, as an official within the system, was very clear about this.

After a lot of ideological struggle, Zhou Heng decided to talk to Yin Rusong in person.

Yin Rusong went to the headquarters of Huangming News Agency as promised, a three-entry mansion. The smiling maid, now also called a servant, led Yin Rusong into Zhou Heng's office. Because of the official nature of the "Huangming News", Zhou Heng did not remove himself from his official position. He was still a sixth-rank civil servant in the Ming court. His official was a attendant of the Hanlin Academy and the commissioner was the president of the "Huangming News".

Seeing Zhou Heng wearing civil servant uniforms, Yin Rusong's heart disappeared a lot.

Zhou Heng smiled and was very polite to Yin Rusong. After a greeting, Zhou Heng finally asked: "Sir, do you know that the job of Huangming newspaper is for the court to face the imperial court, and it is divided into black and white?"

"I heard a little." Yin Rusong nodded and praised.

"If we buy some of the articles you wrote but do not publish them, can you understand?" Zhou Heng asked.

Yin Rusong immediately burst into his head with a passionate blood. The first reaction in his heart was that this person was insulting him, not knowing whether he was right or wrong. If it were someone else, Yin Rusong might have left. It was just because Zhou Heng's official robe forced him to suppress the rising blood.

"Yin is confident that he can still distinguish right from wrong." Yin Rusong suppressed his anger and replied.

"Really?" Zhou Heng smiled and said, "There are two types of right and wrong, one is right and wrong, and the other is for the sake of the good right and wrong of the Ming Dynasty. Can you really distinguish it?"

Yin Rusong was stunned. As a scholar, a simple scholar who is not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships and comprehension of people's hearts. Zhou Heng's words are very difficult to understand. There are two types of right and wrong? What is right and wrong for the sake of the good of the Ming Dynasty? As long as it is for the good of the Ming Dynasty, can the black ones be said to be white? Can the white ones be wiped into black?

Of course he couldn't figure it out, if he could figure it out, Zhou Heng would now call him "Dr. Yin".

This is also why Zhu Cilang is more optimistic about Zhou Heng. Chen Zilong does not have such moral flexibility, while Zhou Heng is a person full of political enthusiasm and will not dissipate energy on the "truth".

——If the truth is useful, then report the truth. If it is not useful, then let it be useful and then report it.

This is the basic principle of Zhou Heng's articles.

Yin Rusong could not defeat the thousands of years of official tradition. He stepped back: "What does Zhou Shidu mean?"

"Huangming Newspaper will provide enough funds to Mr. At the same time, Mr.'s articles about wherever he goes can only be given to Huangming Newspaper. Regardless of whether it is published or not, the newspaper will provide a pen, but it must not be given to other newspapers."

Yin Rusong frowned and said, "Where is the Journal of Jingshi University?"

Lecturers evaluate associate professors, associate professors evaluate professors. The most direct way to prove one's academic ability is to publish papers in journals. No matter how high the status and deep the background of the "Huangming Newspaper" is, the above articles cannot be recognized by the professors. If you go out and work hard and run around, the things you write cannot become academic proof, wouldn't it be contrary to your original wish?

Zhou Heng was also a little hesitant.

There are four university-level schools now, Huangming Jingshi University, Imperial College, Huangming Wubei University, and Huangming Naval University. These universities and higher schools and colleges founded by various provinces have their own journals. The journals are managed by the Ministry of Rites and are not controlled by the Cultural Affairs Department of the Censorate. The most important thing is non-profitness.

Because it is a non-profit free newspaper, it cannot be sold to the public, but it can communicate between schools.

In this way, the influence is still great and the readership is stronger.

In the eyes of Ming people, schools and academies are not simple educational institutions. Although His Majesty the Emperor is working hard to transform, the mainstream society still believes that it is a place for discussion on government affairs, but it only has the function of education. Most of the students and teachers who study in it also hold this attitude.

So it is understandable that these people have become the main contributors of each newspaper.

If some words that are not conducive to the voice of the court appear in the journal, it would be better to let the Shilin Daily publish them!

Zhou Heng shook his head: "The journal is not good either."

Yin Rusong let out a long sigh, stood up and bowed, "Since that's the case, Yin has said goodbye."

Zhou Heng stood up to see him off, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly asked: "Mr. Yin's literary name, Zhou, is also very impressed, but why did he think of seeking external funding?"

The Ming Dynasty court gave Jingshi University very generous funds, and many businesses wanted to ask for projects to be established and they had to ask them to collect cash.

"Alas, it's not worth telling outsiders." Yin Rusong himself didn't know the real reason, and only thought that it was the significance of the old scholars who could not understand the meaning of this emerging discipline.

Zhou Heng sent Yin Rupan down the steps. Yin Rusong was about to bow again and persuade him to stay, but Zhou Heng said: "If you are worried and hard work cannot be vigorous, Zhou knows something, maybe you can give it a try."

"Oh? I hope to hear the details." Yin Rusong said.

"That's it," Zhou Heng sorted out his thoughts. "Zhou heard that the Ministry of War Department wanted to recruit a group of people and conduct inspections in other places. Several of them were involved. Each newspaper had to send interviewers, as well as craftsmen from the Ministry of Works, and elite guards in the army. Since the sir is proficient in geography, you can try this path."

Yin Rusong's heart was moved. When he first graduated from college, he had also asked him for the head of the Ministry of Personnel, probably just to see if he was willing to leave the position of Fangsi. However, at that time, he had been told by Professor Xiong about his subordinates' affairs, so he naturally stayed at school to study for a graduate student and gave up his job as a Fangsi without hesitation.

If this matter was led by the rank of the geography scholars, it would definitely not be rejected by geography scholars, but how should we find a way? There were several ranks in the past, but they had no friendship in the past!

Yin Rusong was nervous for a moment.

"If it's inconvenient for the sir, Zhou is willing to be a matchmaker." Zhou Heng said kindly.

Seeing that Zhou Heng was so beautiful, Yin Rusong suddenly disappeared from the gap just now and said, "Thank you so much for Zhou Shiju."

"If the sir doesn't think I am mean and vulgar, I can be called "Big" Zhou Heng smiled.

"Thank you so much for Brother Ziping." Yin Rusong could not communicate with others. Seeing that Zhou Heng took the initiative to get closer, he finally felt relieved.

Although it was just a small change in name, the two of them changed from being a common friend to being a friend. Compared with the later generations of "friends are everywhere", the Ming people had much stricter definition of "friends" and had a more cautious attitude. In addition to considering status, they also considered other factors such as character, knowledge, and family background. Once they became friends, the obligations they shouldered were not something that later generations could understand.

Since Zhou Heng agreed to Yin Rusong to recommend him, he naturally went around from many ways. This matter was not confidential, but it was not made public. The rash increase in candidates also made Fang Si a little unhappy. However, Huang Ming's announcement was not an ordinary tabloid after all, and Zhou Heng was not a common man in a common man, so he finally let him get in.

"It is rumored that there is a big island south of Java. This time the inspection team went there to investigate. There was a chief in the rank of the rank department who was afraid of water and seasickness, so he was willing to give this job to his husband." Zhou Heng took out the official documents of the rank department, which indeed wrote Yin Rusong's name. He said: "Although this trip was not to the southwest, all the inspection reports were directly presented to the emperor. As long as Bo Xiao made contributions, why worry about not being able to get to the southwest?"

Yin Rusong was still a little confused, but he couldn't bear to ruin Zhou Heng's running around these days.

"And if you can't go southwest, you can still go to Taiwan." Zhou Heng said: "The fleet will replenish supplies in Taiwan, and then wait until the autumn and winter communication to travel south. It will take a month or two."

Yin Rusong thought to himself: This is also a loss of gains and gains. Taiwan’s barbarians form their own country and are quite valuable.

"Thank you so much for Brother Ziping!" Yin Rusong accepted the official document and bowed to thank him.

"Why do you and me have such a dislike? I have already made an appointment with my colleagues in the newspaper industry and travel companions here. In a few days, I will give away Brother Bo Xiao and others at Yayuan, Huiying Lou. The post will be delivered to the mansion tomorrow, so please give me a gift." Zhou Heng said.

"Honor, honor, I just want Brother Ziping to spend money and feel sorry for you." Yin Rusong said.

The charges in Huiying Lou Yayuan are not low, because the newly installed porcelain toilets have attracted many customers to spend. Many people do not take the luxurious layout of a restaurant seriously, but they have to experience the luxury of using ceramics as toilets.

Zhou Heng is from a wealthy family and doesn't care about the money. Moreover, the newspaper industry has a communication limit. As long as it does not exceed the limit, he doesn't have to pay for it himself. Since that's the case, why not let everyone be happy? Moreover, it's extremely risky to go out to sea to find a big island, and it's time to be generous and generous.

If it weren't for the Holy Emperor's insistence on this big island, who would have believed that there was a world besides Java?

Even Yin Rusong is difficult to understand why there will be a place where winter and summer are opposite, and yin and yang are reversed after passing the mesoterrestrial equator.
