Tan Tianming has more information than Huo De's biography, and Dang even figured out the key points.
The Portuguese embassy bribed Fu Qiqiang to write an article slandering the military operation of Xingdao. Since Huo De spent a lot of money on this news and Fu Qiqiang personally admitted it, it should be extremely credible.
As for the motive of the Portuguese embassy doing this, as an outsider, Huo Dechuan may not be able to figure it out, but Tan Tianming grew up in Xingdao and knows the situation in the South China Sea, so he naturally understands what the Portuguese are trying to do.
Although Haihan and Portugal have been allies for many years, they are not only allies but also competitors within the specific area of the Strait of Malacca.
The rapid rise of Sing Tao is the first to bear the brunt of the Portuguese-ruled Malacca city.Its original status as a regional trade center is being gradually taken away by Xingdao. Although it has not been completely replaced, anyone with a discerning eye can see that that day is not far away.
If only part of the trade share was taken away by Sing Tao, perhaps the Portuguese could bear it, but the development goal of Sing Tao was not just to control local commerce and trade. Control of the entire Strait of Malacca was the long-term goal of the Sing Tao authorities.
This will undoubtedly shake the foundation of Portugal's local rule. If it completely loses control of the Strait area, then Portugal will gradually become a vassal of Haihan in this area. It is obviously impossible for the colonial authorities in Malacca to sit back and watch this happen. , can only resort to some shady means to hinder this process.
The Portuguese are obviously very aware of the influence of newspapers as a special propaganda platform in Haihan. If they bribe literati to write some propaganda articles that are beneficial to them, they can be seen by thousands of people and form the direction of public opinion.
Compared with using military means or trade wars to solve the problem, the cost of doing so is quite low, and it is silent and difficult to be noticed.
If Tan Tianming hadn't read Fu Qiqiang's article by accident and took measures to restore it in time, how many people would be affected by it and subconsciously believe the information published in the express, thinking that the military operation in Xingdao was just a It wastes people's money and increases Haihan's diplomatic risk.
Tan Tianming suddenly remembered something, and asked Huo De Chuan, "Does the government have corresponding control measures for this kind of practice of paying people to write articles?"
Huo De preached: "As far as I know, there is no such thing, but if the government thinks it is inappropriate, someone will naturally come forward to interview the person in charge of the newspaper. But how to grasp the standard of whether it is appropriate or not, it is probably the use of the cleverness of the heart gone."
Tan Tianming continued to ask: "Brother Huo thinks that this Fu Qiqiang is speaking out for the Portuguese. If the government finds out, how will they deal with this matter?"
Huo Dechuan didn't want to get too involved in this matter, he hesitated for a while before responding: "The Portuguese are not my Haihan citizens, and the government may not be easy to deal with. As for Fu Qiqiang, if no one takes the initiative to report, The government should not care about it."
Hearing this, Tan Tianming couldn't help snorting coldly.
Huo Dechuan knew what he was thinking, so he gritted his teeth and persuaded him: "Brother Tan, brother, I advise you not to come forward and sue him. It will not do you good."
Tan Tianming wondered, "Why?"
Huo Dezhuan explained: "If you go out to sue Fu Qiqiang and the news spreads, someone will find out your identity and background. Then there will definitely be some rumors that are not good for Xing Tao, which will only make the situation counterproductive."
Tan Tianming was reminded by him, and then suddenly said: "Brother Huo is right, almost careless!"
If Tan Tianming sues Fu Qiqiang for slandering the Sing Tao authorities, people will inevitably associate his identity with the lawsuit. At that time, Sing Tao's reputation, which was finally cleared up, will be questioned by the outside world because of this lawsuit.
But if this matter is not pursued, the anger in Tan Tianming's heart will be hard to dispel.
But no matter what, Huo Dechuan has at least completed the task he entrusted, and this account still has to be settled with him.Although the cost was much higher than Tan Tianming expected, it was not enough to make him feel pain.
Tan Tianming was also very straightforward, Dang even settled the tea money, took Huo De to the nearby Haihan Bank, took the money and paid the rest.
Huo Dechuan was naturally smiling. The business he usually receives, can earn a single thousand or eight hundred, which is a large amount, and it is rare to meet such a money owner who pays so readily.Although the deal is over, but this network still has to find a way to maintain, it's hard to say when Tan Tianming will assign him another errand.
Huo Dechuan thanked Tan Tianming immediately, and invited him to sit in his shop when he was free.
After the two said goodbye outside the bank, Tan Tianming called a carriage and returned to the academy.He was not in the mood to wander outside anymore, and he needed to find someone to answer his questions about the Sanya Express and the Portuguese.
According to the teaching arrangement of the college, this afternoon happened to be a course on cultural and educational propaganda, and the one who taught this course was Ning Qi, who was in charge of cultural and propaganda affairs in the executive committee.
For the students who aspire to make a difference in the propaganda position, Ning Qi, the head of the civil servants in this dynasty, is their best example to learn from.And what Ning Qi taught in the classroom is basically the same as the golden rule.
But Tan Tianming didn't listen too much in this class, his mind is full of Fu Qiqiang now.He really couldn't understand how a propaganda mouthpiece that should be supervised by the government would allow people like Fu Qiqiang to talk nonsense.
After the course ended, Ning Qi was surrounded by a large group of students, and spent a long time answering the students' various questions.
After the crowd gradually dispersed, Tan Tianming stepped forward and said that he also had questions and wanted to ask for advice.
"My lord, I want to know, what do you think of this kind of news reports that ignore the facts and are inconsistent?"
After Tan Tianming finished speaking, he delivered the latest two issues of Sanya Express to Ning Qi, and pointed him to the location of Fu Qiqiang's two articles.
Ning Qi scanned it at a very fast speed, looked at Tan Tianming again, did not answer his question, but asked instead: "Are you Tan Tianming from Xingdao? If you have time, come with me outside Walk."
Tan Tianming nodded, put away the newspaper, and followed Ning Qi out of the classroom.
Ning Qi said while taking a walk: "Sanya Express was co-sponsored by several companies at the beginning of its establishment, and after more than 20 years of changes, the capital behind it has become more complicated and fragmented. There will be many people with different positions. In various ways, publish articles that are beneficial to you in the express.”
"The articles you see often only represent private opinions, not official attitudes. The content may be controversial, but this is a normal thing. We also need to hear various voices from all sides and learn to distinguish which ones are Noise, which ones are worthy of our careful listening."
