Chapter 644 Qin Huaidao sat there, talking to Li Shimin about the pros and cons of running a newspaper, and after Li Shimin heard it, he walked in the Manna Hall with his hands behind his back.

"If you deliberately smear a person, then for this person, it will have a huge impact, of course, we can avoid it, use rules to circumvent!" Qin Huaidao sat there, looked at Li Shimin and said.

"How to circumvent it?" Li Shimin spoke.

"Your Majesty, the newspaper is used as the throat of the country, and it is absolutely not allowed to appear in accordance with the policy of the Tang Dynasty, if you want to discredit a person, you also need the nod of your father or the emperor, and other officials cannot publish such things,

In addition, it is necessary to establish a review agency, which is to specifically review the content of the newspaper, and now the transportation of Datang is still inconvenient, and there are at most 2 issues per ten years.

And the 2nd issue of the newspaper, if it reaches the most frontier area of the empire, it will also take a month, that is, there is still a certain lag, but it doesn't matter, it is better to lag than nothing?

Therefore, Erchen suggested that some great Confucians, upright people, can be appointed as editors-in-chief and be in charge of the review of the entire content, in addition, it is also necessary to report the content of each issue to be printed like His Majesty, and at the same time, it is also necessary to arrange officials to inspect, that is, to inspect the content of the newspaper, and to ensure that there is no problem with the content of the newspaper before printing! Qin Huaidao sat there, looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Well, let's go, go have tea, and say while drinking tea, I'll eat here at noon! By the way, there is a batch of tribute, it is cold melon, it tastes good, try it after dinner! Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.

"Oh, good!" Qin Huaidao followed Li Shimin to the teahouse, chatted with Li Shimin about the newspaper while drinking tea, and finally determined that the name of the newspaper was called "Datang Daily", and finally it was time to select the general director.

Li Shimin originally wanted Qin Huaidao to be the person in charge, but when Qin Huaidao heard it, he hurriedly waved his hand, saying that he couldn't do it, and he still needed a respected person to serve as it, so Qin Huaidao recommended Kong Yingda.

At noon, Qin Huaidao ate in the palace, among all Li Shimin's sons-in-law, even including his son, that is, Qin Huaidao ate the most in the palace, eating in the palace from time to time, and the others ate with Li Shimin, they couldn't eat enough, and they didn't dare to eat more.

And Qin Huaidao is eating hard, and now he is also the time to grow his body, a big guy, there are no seven or eight steamed buns in one meal, or seven or eight pancakes, how can he be full,

Even Li Shimin liked to eat like this when he saw Qin Huaidao, and he could eat half a bowl more, and after eating, Qin Huaidao and they sat down in the Ganlu Palace, and someone came over with a cold melon.

"Isn't this a watermelon?" Qin Huaidao looked at the cold melon that was served, and was very surprised, this is the watermelon of the later generations, but it is a little smaller!

"What watermelon, this is a cold melon, a tribute from the Western Regions!" Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao, and at the same time took it and ate it,

And Qin Huaidao immediately asked Wang En to give him a piece of waste cloth, and he just sat there and spit those seeds on top of the waste cloth.

"What are you doing?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao puzzled and asked.

"Erchen wants to grow this, this is delicious and sweet!" Qin Huaidao looked at Li Shimin with a smile and said.

"This kid, do you know how to plant? This kind of cold melon, can we grow it here? Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"Try it, what if one lives, the people of my Tang Dynasty, don't they have one more fruit to escape the heat, such a cold melon, so sweet, so delicious, who doesn't like to eat it?" Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"It's done!" Li Shimin nodded with a smile, and began to spit out those watermelon seeds on the waste cloth as he spoke.

At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came over and saw their two sons-in-law, spitting cold melon seeds on the waste cloth, which was very strange.

"It's just right to come, let's eat together!" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian with a smile.

"This is a cold melon, I haven't eaten it for several years." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"It's to contribute 8 melons, and when you go back, take 2 back and give them to those grandchildren to taste!" Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

"Okay, thank you, Father!" Li Chengqian also smiled and nodded! Then Li Chengqian also joined the ranks of spitting melon seeds on the waste cloth.

"Something?" Li Shimin asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that after hearing about so many officials impeaching Peping, Erchen can't figure it out, this matter has nothing to do with Peping!" Li Chengqian sat there, looked at Li Shimin puzzled, and said.

"Well, after dealing with it, tomorrow it will be discussed in the court, the officials who are officials in the capital, if they don't have a little family background, the house is indeed a big problem, I thought, it's really not good, build a few hundred official mansions, let those poor officials live, and they sigh every day in the province." Li Shimin said to Li Chengqian.

"A few hundred buildings cost a lot of money, although the land doesn't need money, but all of them are done, I estimate that one building will also cost 1,000 yuan, right?" Li Chengqian looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"No, 300 yuan is enough, we just do some decoration, other living utensils, or they need to buy their own, bulk purchase, but cheap! If 500 buildings are built, 150,000 yuan is enough! Qin Huaidao waved his hand and said, Chang'an builds a house, but the land is expensive, and the rest is very cheap.

"Well, that's an official mansion, covering an area of 2 acres, Peping, in this matter, your Ministry of Industry needs to take out half of the money, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs needs to take out half of the money, and your Ministry of Industry has money now! I can't run out of money! Li Shimin said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.

"Father, this, this is not good, the Ministry of Industry has planned a straight road from Chang'an to Suzhou, a straight road from Chang'an to Yumen Pass, you don't know, Datang's business is mainly in these two directions, from Chang'an to Suzhou, all along the line are big cities, population gathering areas, most of the commercial activities are here,

If you build a straight road in the past, it can bring almost 1 million yuan of income to Datang every year, of course, it may cost 3 million yuan to build this straight road, and it will take up to five or six years!

And the straight road from Chang'an Yumen Pass, which is out of the West Regions, the Hu merchants of the Tang Dynasty are all taking this road, if this road is repaired, it will not only increase the tax revenue of my Datang,

At the same time, it will also allow my Datang army to reinforce the northwest direction at the fastest speed, this straight road is short, there are not so many rivers on the way, there is no need to build a bridge, the cost is estimated to cost 1 million yuan, and it may take about 2 years! Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian looked at Qin Huaidao in surprise, and both of them forgot to eat melons.

"What's wrong?" Qin Huaidao looked at them puzzled.

"Build two straights like that? It's all cement roads! Li Shimin asked Qin Huaidao.

"That's right. The Ministry of Industry also planned several straight roads, from Luoyang to Goryeo, this year from Chang'an to Luoyang will soon be repaired, and then continue to start to the northeast repair, for two years, repair to Pingchuan,

In this way, my Datang army can rush to the Goryeo front line at the fastest speed, once there is a change on the front line and reinforcements are needed, my Datang army can also arrive at the fastest speed, this straight road, it is estimated that it will cost 120 yuan,

Of course, Chang'an to Luoyang also spent a lot of money, now the father to Luoyang, two days to arrive, if you ride a horse galloping, one day to arrive! Qin Huaidao nodded and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Good boy, have you spent all the money of the Ministry of Industry in the next few years?" Li Shimin looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and asked.

"Of course, the money has to be spent, in fact, our Ministry of Industry spends money, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs enjoys happiness, and the tax revenue of the Ministry of Civil Affairs this year must be much higher." Qin Huaidao said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"Well, the Ministry of Civil Affairs still has a balance, which is rare!" Li Chengqian nodded and said to Li Shimin.

"Got a balance?" Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian in surprise, but now he is fighting, Li Shimin still wants to transfer some money from his own internal funds to the Ministry of War, but he didn't expect that there is still a balance on the part of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and now that the war is fighting, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is responsible for paying the money.

"Yes, last month, there was a balance of 120,000 yuan, Ju Guogong was happy, and the military salary on the front line this month was sent over at the beginning of the month!" Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, it's good to have money, but, Gao Ming, Peping, have you been to investigate, ordinary people, how are they living, are they better than before? Will there be a place to compete with the people? Li Shimin was happy, but he was also worried about whether the tax collection was heavy, which increased the burden on the people.

"It shouldn't be, this time the tax is mainly to increase the tax on business, and the ordinary people will not increase, on the contrary, the court has also exempted a lot of local taxes in the past two years, and the people's lives should be better!" Qin Huaidao shook his head and said to Li Shimin.

"Well, it's true that business has increased a lot of taxes!" Li Chengqian sat there and spoke.

"No, Gao Ming, you have to investigate, you can't say that the court is rich, the people are poor, and then the people may rise up, don't pay attention, you go in person!" Li Shimin was still a little worried, and said to Li Shimin.

"Yes, Erchen will start to investigate in person in the surrounding states and counties tomorrow!" Li Chengqian stood up and said to Li Shimin.

"Gao Ming, you have to remember, as a royal family, we need to consider the lives of the people, the people's lives are not good, we will not be able to sit on this country, why was my father able to conquer this world, that is, the people of the world are not living, otherwise, who will follow the father to fight?

Don't forget, not only for you to remember, but for those who come after you! Li Shimin continued to explain to Li Chengqian and said.

Li Chengqian hurriedly nodded yes!
