The entire capital's public opinion circle began to fall into a strange situation.
As the newspaper's work continued to unfold in an orderly manner, public opinion had already split into two parts.
On the one hand, the discussion on the previous abandoned baby issue remained high, while on the other hand, Zhao Linglong became the main figure.
Various articles in the newspaper gradually began to add legendary and humanistic colors to Zhao Linglong.
Zhao Linglong, a heroine of the Jin Dynasty.
Born in poverty, he respected his parents, studied foreign languages, and became proficient in horse training...The secret to his success is to sleep for five full hours a day.
Because she has long admired Dajing culture, she has long been in Jin but her heart is in Jing.
Upon hearing that his motherland was going to launch an unjust war, he resolutely came to Dajing alone to prevent the tragedy from happening.
After the war, Zhao Linglong was in Beijing. She watched the drama praising peace in Mid-Levels Square and shed sad tears.
The ordinary spectators expressed their understanding.
On one side is the motherland that launched an unjust war, and on the other side is Dajing who loves peace and treats the country with courtesy. Such a reaction is mostly due to the reminder of the war between the two countries, and the confusion in their hearts can be imagined.
However, who these tears are shed for is still an unsolved mystery...
When people were having different opinions, many of them found that they could not get any conclusion from the newspaper.
A woman with such great love, full of the glory of a hero, seemed to have a mole growing between her eyebrows in a trance.
How many soldiers on the battlefield did she save by herself in advance? Those were her brothers and relatives. If you can do this in the face of such a morally upright woman, can you still be considered a human being?
Of course, there are some people with low quality who are more excited...
As public sentiment grew, news that Dongjiao University had begun to open a girls' school naturally began to spread.
【Zhao Linglong was specially recruited into Dongjiao University! 】
【Do you want to become a Zhao Linglong alumnus? Come to Dongjiao University as soon as possible. 】
[Don’t worry about taking your children to school, Dongjiao University has a parenting school....]
Recruiting female students, generous subsidies, employment upon graduation, good income, closed-door teaching...
With all the overwhelming publicity, just like the initial enrollment of Dongjiao University, public opinion was once again in turmoil.
....
While the people were having fun, the court was filled with grief and many people were cursing in their hearts.
That damn Fang Zhengyi, he still doesn't stop even after resigning from his post!
Everyone originally thought that now that this trouble-making monster was gone, the world would be at peace from now on.
All your great military achievements were wiped out because you were having an affair with other women, and everyone gave His Majesty some face and no one said anything.
But why haven't you finished yet? You can also have fun outside the court. Do you really think you can get away with being an emperor? !
First, he brought up the issue of abandoned babies, causing all the officials in the court to lose face!
The Jin Dynasty was badly defeated and is about to usher in a greater prosperity. You insist on smearing it here and making everyone unhappy, right?
Not to mention the matter of abandoned babies, now they are setting their sights on women all over the world and even want to open schools for women. This is truly intolerable!
......
The atmosphere in the court was very solemn.
Yang Yingcai stood in the hall and said, "Your Majesty, the Mid-Levels Daily has been reporting on the abandoned baby for several days, which has aroused public resentment. I ask Your Majesty to immediately order them not to report it again."
Emperor Jing rubbed his temples and felt a little headache.
How could Fang Zhengyi be so troublesome!
They are not in the palace anymore, but they can still make things known to everyone...
"The news from the Banshan newspaper is sent to the palace for review every day. If this is true, what do you think is wrong with it, Mr. Yang?"
"Your Majesty, the phenomenon of abandoned babies has existed since ancient times. The rural girls and villagers are ignorant of education and this is the reason for this evil custom. The court has already built infant protection halls across the country to solve this problem. But our Great Jing is vast, and this problem cannot be solved overnight."
"Now, the Mid-Levels newspaper has brought old issues to the table. I don't know what their purpose is, but no matter what, it will do more harm than good."
Emperor Jing nodded and turned his eyes away: "Although this is an old matter, it is obvious that this problem has been accumulated for a long time. We can't just leave it alone, and we can't let the situation spread. If so, where will the prestige of the court be?"
"What about the Ministry of Revenue?"
Xu Wenshu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with what Lord Yang said. We should first eliminate the impact, and we can only take our time to do the rest."
"I have already checked and found that Baoyingtang has invested a huge amount of money, but has achieved little results. If we continue to increase spending from the Ministry of Revenue, I am afraid that a lot of money will be wasted."
"The Jin Kingdom has just been defeated, and the military expenditure is too heavy. The Jin Kingdom does not have much cash, and all the land and materials are used as collateral, or repayment is delayed... Therefore, I suggest that the status quo should be maintained."
"As for the rest, you can order local officials to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and impose heavy penalties on the families that abandoned their babies!"
Li Yansong stood up and said, "I don't agree with this. The act of abandoning a baby is a helpless act after being unable to raise it. If a heavy punishment is imposed, it will be tantamount to forcing the people into a desperate situation. But what Lord Xu said makes sense. The effect is minimal, and the court's expenses are also difficult."
"I suggest that we simply order the Mid-Levels newspapers to stop reporting this matter. It won't take long for the public opinion to calm down and the matter will be resolved. As for the practical issues, we can discuss and resolve them later."
"We second this motion." The others all said in unison.
Emperor Jing nodded slightly.
He thought so too. After all, it is a problem that has never been solved from ancient times to the present.
Since no major social problems have ever erupted from this incident, the best way is to postpone and resolve it slowly.
"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now, but we must keep an eye on it. Send a message to all places that the Infant Protection Hall must carefully consider the situation of abandoned babies in various places and must not be negligent."
