Chapter 155: Public Opinion Matters (3)
"Doesn't that have to be a rebellion? Maybe, maybe......" The eldest grandson Wuji wanted to give an example to refute, but he really couldn't think of a suitable one.
Li Mu relieved him and said: "No matter what the purpose is, he printed it privately and did not pass the government, he must have selfish intentions, and he was worried that he would not pass the government's review." If you want to establish the majesty of the imperial court, you must prohibit private affairs, since you want to ban it, you must ban it, otherwise as long as you leave a loophole, it will be a hidden danger! ”
Although the eldest grandson Wuji still felt that it was inappropriate, he knew that this matter could not be said again, otherwise it would be a little impossible to touch Li Shimin's sensitive nerves. Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji was silent, Li Shimin nodded and said, "The matter of newspapers and printing has no impact on the people's livelihood, and it is okay to ban it. I'm right, Li Mu, let's talk about it, how to solve the second problem raised by the auxiliary machine? ”
"This matter can't be solved."
"Can't?" Li Shimin said angrily: "Since it can't be solved, what's the use of what you said so much just now?" ”
"There is no solution to this matter, but there is a workaround. In Chang'an City, the imperial court can issue the 'Datang Daily', while in a slightly farther place, you can choose a daily event and print the 'Datang Monthly' for ten days, and in farther places, it will be changed to the 'Datang Monthly'. Messages can still be delivered, just a little streamlined and a little slower. When the newspaper is mature in the future, it can be set up in the five capitals such as Luoyang, the eastern capital, so that the five capitals can spread the news together and deliver it faster. ”
"That's a way to do it." Li Shimin's face softened, and he suddenly thought of something, and said: "Li Mu, you said this, but you didn't say who compiled the daily content of this newspaper. I've read what you've compiled today, and it's all provocative, and I can't print it every day. ”
Li Mu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you just let the minister be responsible, and the minister doesn't have that time." The minister thinks that making an article is a literary matter, and a literary thing is to find a literati. Doesn't Your Majesty have Hongwen Hall, Chongwen Hall and Guozijian? Those doctors, students, and professors don't have much to do all day, so it's better to leave it to them and make the best use of it. ”
"But ......"
"The minister knows what His Majesty is worried about, if His Majesty is worried that their articles are biased, it doesn't matter, you can let them check and balance each other."
"What are checks and balances?"
"When selecting people who make articles, students from poor families choose one, noble students choose one, gate valve students choose one, and all forces come to one, and then let them make a fuss about one thing, and then vote for each other, and choose the one with the most votes to publish, although bias cannot be completely avoided, but it can also be greatly reduced."
Li Shimin pursed his lips and thought about it, and said: "This can reduce bias, but I am afraid that they will not contribute, in case they are passive and slack off......"
"Your Majesty, what do you think is the purpose of these students learning every day?"
"Naturally, he was an official in the imperial examination and entered the official career."
"Your Majesty might as well give them the right to sit in on the auditors like the living room, and after a while, choose those who are really talented among them, and reward them with an official and a half-position, so that all the students will inevitably flock to it!"
Li Shimin laughed, pointed at Li Mu and said, "It seems that you are a little injured, you can come up with so many ideas at home." Okay, I'll give you a chance, this is feasible or not, in a month's time, I will see the effect. If this is really possible, then a government office will be set up to take care of the matter. If it is not feasible, it will be considered a school student. When you are healed, you can choose a student to write an article, and I will set up a ...... Well, it's the duty of the Imperial Walker. A student is allowed to observe political affairs in the court every day, and it is up to you to decide who has this opportunity. It can also be used to ease the conflict between you and the students. ”
Li Mu pretended not to know, and said: "Your Majesty, there is no contradiction between the ministers and the students!" ”
"You stunned Kong Yingda, the supervisor of the Guozi Prison and the descendant of Kong Sheng, did you forget about this matter so quickly?"
"Ahh Li Mu suddenly realized, and sighed: "The minister thinks that his skills are not as good as others, so he should reflect on it, but I didn't expect that the popularity of these scholars is so small, how can they achieve great things!" No wonder the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, none of them came out of reading, it seems that they can't become a talent if they study like this. ”
"Hugh has to be arrogant!" Li Shimin said unhappily: "Although you are talented, you must not forget the truth that there must be my teacher in the threesome, Hongwen Pavilion, Chongwen Pavilion, and Guozijian are all young talents selected and selected by various places, and they should not be taken lightly." ”
"The minister knows his mistake, and the minister receives the order."
"Alright, you can take care of your injuries, I will go to the Imperial Horse Supervisor to choose a good horse."
"Huh?"
"It's not because of you." Li Shimin glared and said: "As soon as your Datang Daily is published, the whole Chang'an knows about Marseille." I am also a horse lover, how can I miss it, I have to choose a good horse to fight for this first place! ”
When Li Mu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if you compete, who would dare to win you!" ”
"I don't need you to remind me, I will arrange people, and I won't reveal my identity." Suddenly, Li Shimin paused and said, "As for the mastermind behind the murderer, you must already know it in your heart. I remind you that if you don't have the certainty of victory, you can't endure it for a while. If you continue to entangle, you won't necessarily get results. ”
"Your Majesty Xie reminded you, and your father-in-law said the same."
Li Shimin said again: "I have brought you some palace secret gold sore medicine, you can use it, it is made by Sun Simiao and Sun Zhenren's prescription, and the effect is better than the one you are using now." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty...... "Thanks," said Li Mu and wanted to 'struggle' again. Li Shimin frowned and said, "Okay, stop acting, I'm gone!" ”
"The minister really hurts his buttocks, and he can't give a full salute, Your Majesty, Your Majesty ......" Li Mu shouted 'earnestly', Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji had already gone away.
Bai Qiaoqiao came in from outside the door and said, "Husband, you can't treat Your Majesty like this, what if Your Majesty gets angry?" ”
Li Mu took Bai Qiaoqiao's hand and said, "Lady, it's useless to worry about these." The heart of the emperor is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and His Majesty is now letting me mess around because he can use me. As long as I am still an irreplaceable person by his side, even if I mess around, Your Majesty will tolerate it. But if one day I am useless, even if I am humble, Your Majesty will be angry. Do you see what I mean? ”
Bai Qiaoqiao nodded and said, "Husband, what if there is that day?" ”
"What if, ah......" Li Mu thought about it, suddenly smiled, and said: "By that day, it is estimated that I have saved enough money, before Your Majesty annoys me, we will leave Chang'an, run away, and he will not be able to catch it!" ”
