The Tang Dynasty was established only a few years ago, and the real occupation of the three provinces was actually less than two years, and in these two years, the focus of the Tang Dynasty has naturally been on the war with the Ming army.

However, internal affairs have never been put down, and Li Xuan took advantage of the fact that the Tang Dynasty was still in a blank sheet of paper to implement a series of internal affairs reforms according to his own will.

In the center, he concentrated imperial power and implemented a strict separation of military and political affairs!

In terms of education, he promoted science education, opened a doctoral department, reused science talents, set up a young military camp and young cadets, and tried to establish a scientific modern education system in the mid-16th century.

Financially, he exempted from excesses and miscellaneous taxes, apportioned the land into the acre, paid the grain as a single gentry, implemented a unified agricultural tax, and collected commercial taxes and customs duties, and at the same time put salt affairs directly under the official management, from which the salt tax was collected.

In terms of industry and commerce, he promoted the development of industry and commerce, especially manufacturing and maritime trade, and in this way, he drove the revenue of commercial taxes and customs duties.

Administratively, he pushed the political power to go to the countryside and established administrative organs at the town and village levels, directly establishing the ruling organs to the village level, and strengthening the rule over the rural grassroots.

These and more reforms were not implemented in just one or two years, and this process was also counterattacked by many old forces, but Li Xuan was unrelenting, especially the reform of the gentry paying food as an errand boy, which caused many rebellions, but Li Xuan resolutely suppressed them and did not give them any hope.

And now, Li Xuan feels that it is not enough!

The Tang Dynasty was at war with the Ming Dynasty, and it was necessary to concentrate all forces to fight.

This requires more military spending, more guns, and even more food!

On June 26, Li Xuan convened a cabinet meeting, and without any discussion, directly announced that the judicial power would be stripped from the Ministry of Justice and the royal court would be established.

As soon as you hear the name, you know that this institution is not simple!

Because this is the second institution in the Tang Dynasty to be given the prefix of 'royal', although the first royal academy of sciences with a royal prefix institution is of no use, but this royal court is different, because Li Xuan gave the institution the right to adjudicate justice!

The power to adjudicate all civil and criminal cases will be handed over to the royal courts, and it is stipulated that the work of the royal courts will not be interfered with by the cabinet and the local yamen, but will be directly responsible to the emperor.

This is the same as the Privy Council, the Naval Command, the Inspectorate, and the Hanlin Yuan, and another authority directly responsible to Li Xuan.

And stipulate that the royal court should open branches to the county level and work independently!

This was followed by an announcement that, in the future, the promotion of personnel of the three independent judicial bodies, namely, the Patrol Department, the Inspectorate and the Royal Court, could only be carried out within this body, and could not be transferred to other departments, and officials from other departments could not be transferred to these institutions.

The Inspectorate has set up new institutions such as the Anti-Corruption Department and the Malfeasance Department to specialize in investigating the corruption of hundreds of officials!

And these are all public institutions, and in the Hanlin Academy, Li Xuan set up the Hanlin Academy's Inspection Section, which sent personnel to inspect various places in the name of the Qincha from time to time, investigate major illegal matters, and accept complaints from the local people.

In addition, the Letters and Visits Section of the Hanlin Academy was established, stipulating that all people in the world could send letters to the Letters and Visits Section to make reports, or they could report in person to the Letters and Visits Section.

In order to prevent the report letter from being intercepted by local officials, the letter can be delivered directly to the post station under the management of the military and mailed along with the official document!

These are all about some measures on the governance of officials, although Li Xuan feels that it may not be of much use in the end, but after all, it is some measures, and Li Xuan does not expect to be very useful, as long as it is issued and made the hundred officials fearful, then it will be half the success.

Subsequently, in view of the fact that the people were susceptible to agitation and turmoil, Li Xuan ordered the Ministry of Rites to set up a court newspaper department, which was specially responsible for running a court newspaper for the people of the world, informing the people of the world of the dynamics of the court, policies, and detailed interpretation of the policies.

Every five days, the newspaper is directly sponsored by the Ministry of Rites, and the sample is urgently sent to various places along with the official document, and after being printed in the important local cities, it is directly distributed to the counties and towns, and posted in a conspicuous place!

And the name of this newspaper is 'Tang Dynasty Daily', which can be regarded as a kind of officially sponsored modern newspaper, but this is not the first newspaper of Datang, because in addition to the Tang Dynasty newspaper, Datang already has a Di newspaper within Datang.

The Tang Dynasty was a feudal dynasty, and its establishment was largely influenced by traditional feudal dynasties such as the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Di Bao is only circulated within the government, and it mainly publishes some major news, which has nothing to do with ordinary people.

However, the current Chaobao is an official newspaper for the common people, so the officials of the Ministry of Rites are still a little unclear about what to do.

Because this kind of thing has not been done since ancient times, and if this one is not done well, I am afraid that there will be a big mess, so soon the officials of the Ministry of Rites found the Ministry of Rites and asked about the regulations for the preparation of the newspaper.

Of course, their problem is not how to print or send the newspaper to the world, but what they are more concerned about what to publish.

In this regard, Li Xuan gave oral instructions to the officials of the Ministry of Rites: The core of the newspaper is as follows: First of all, the most important point is: Emperor Li Xuan will always be correct and wise; Third, it is necessary to correctly guide the people to support the policies of the imperial court.

Under these two major policies, how do we do it?

To sum it up: the emperor and the important ministers are very busy, what are they busy with? Naturally, he was busy working for the welfare of the people, especially the emperor Li Xuan, who was busy caring about the well-being of the people every day, for example, didn't Li Xuan go to the Zhaoqing Arsenal to inspect some time ago, you can come to an article where the emperor condolences to the workers, and is loved by the workers, and even those workers who are condoled are moved to cry

Then the subjects of the Tang Dynasty are extremely supportive of the emperor and various policies, such as the recent typhoon disaster in western Guangdong, which led to the rise in grain prices in the two Guangxi regions.

Then the people under the rule of Datang are extremely happy, and the people outside Datang are living in dire straits.

If it is a war report, it must be firm: the Tang Dynasty royal division is extremely brave and powerful, and the puppet Ming army is all scum!

In short, the most important and core function of this newspaper is to correctly guide the people's thinking, and not let them do it blindly, and rebel when there is nothing to do!

Regarding Li Xuan's dictation, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are all elites, and the Ministry of Rites, as the most noble yamen in the Tang Dynasty, has concentrated a large number of young experts in the imperial examination, and writing articles is what they are best at, or even the only thing they are good at, and said on the spot that there is no problem with the content of the court newspaper.

The Ministry of Rites also euphemistically raised the difficulty, saying that the Ministry of Rites is short of funds, and the funds required to run the newspaper are probably not a small amount, and the continuous expenditure for many years and months is said that the Ministry of Rites cannot support it!

I also think deeply of Li Xuan!

The Ministry of Rites is indeed a poor egg, in fact, all departments of the Tang Dynasty are poor people, thinking that most of the financial revenue is used as military expenses, and the administrative expenses are seriously insufficient.

As long as the local officials use their brains diligently to develop the local economy, the national tax will go up, and the land tax will naturally go up, so they will naturally be able to afford the officials of the local government.

However, all departments in the central government live on the money allocated from the financial budget, and although the Ministry of Rites is noble, it is also a real Qingshui Yamen.

So Li Xuan gave them a way, who said that this newspaper must be free? You can charge for it!

You can also sell advertising space!

The commercial value of this newspaper that publishes the world is very large, and if it is charged, even if it is a newspaper that only charges a penny, but if the circulation is large enough, the circulation cost can also recover part of it.

In addition, some advertisements can be sold, of course, advertisements must be strictly reviewed by the Ministry of Etiquette, and messy commercial advertisements are not allowed!

And because the environment of each place is different, the morning newspapers issued for different provinces can also report some local government affairs, and then they can also receive some local advertisements, but the premise is that the reports and advertisements of these local government affairs are still directly sponsored by the Ministry of Rites, and need to be submitted to the Ministry of Rites for review, and then each issue needs to be reviewed by Li Xuan.

After Li Xuan reviewed it, the Ministry of Rites could officially publish it.

In other words, although it will report on local government affairs, the sponsorship of the newspaper is still directly led by the Ministry of Rites, and the relevant officials dispatched by the Ministry of Rites to the local government only have the power to print and gather news, but they do not have the power to directly host the newspaper.

And the final review power of the Chaobao is in the hands of Li Xuan.

Hearing Li Xuan say that he could post advertisements, the officials of the Ministry of Rites still didn't understand it at first, and even rejected it.

Because in their opinion, although this court newspaper is aimed at ordinary people, it is also extremely serious, and it is an important tool of public opinion in the imperial court, and it cannot be tarnished by the smell of copper.

However, although the heart is dissatisfied or even rejected, it is a fact that the Ministry of Rites does not have enough funds, although the court newspaper can be charged, but because the cost is not low, this collection is expensive, ordinary people cannot afford it, and the circulation cannot go up, so it will not play the role of educating the people and propagating policies.

But if the fee is low enough to be acceptable to the people, then there will be a large loss in the court!

After all, it takes money to write, print, and ship!

In the end, the officials of the Ministry of Rites struggled for a long time, and finally succumbed to the funding and chose to advertise cautiously!

The Ministry of Rites is quite cautious about commercial advertising, so this first commercial advertisement may naturally be a folk advertisement, which is too uncompelling, the first commercial advertisement in the Tang Dynasty is a recruitment advertisement in Zhaoqing Arsenal!
