After explaining the general composition of the newspaper, Li Yi helped Li Ke to sort out the general plan.

"There are a couple of things that are imperative.

First, it is to find an editor, this should not be difficult, there are not many other things in Chang'an, there should be things for scholars, there is no need for more in the early stage, it is enough to find a dozen first, as for the ability or something, don't think too much about it, leave it to me!

The second is the spy, if you want to get the news, you need the spies to probe, this can be done slowly!

That's all for the time being, it's best to do it within three days, and after three days, give me a sample! ”

Li Ke nodded, his expression was slightly solemn, the things Li Yi ordered were actually very simple, but he hadn't gotten this thing, so he naturally had no bottom in his heart.

"Hehe, don't worry, we still have time, anyway, now we are crossing the river by feeling the stones, not afraid of mistakes, just change it!"

Li Ke nodded again and suddenly smiled.

"Alas, this king actually let you scare again, isn't it just a newspaper office? What a big deal, let's see! ”

Li Yi smiled and did not speak.

After discussing some details, Li Yi left the headquarters and went straight to the palace!

"Why are you here again?"

Wanchun Palace, Li Er's face was full of helplessness.

Li Er was helpless, and Li Yi was even more aggrieved.

"Look at what you said, you think I want to come? The palace is so big, it's tiring to walk back and forth, if there is nothing to do, I won't come yet! ”

Li Er's sip of tea almost didn't squirt out. It was the first time he had heard that he had come to the palace to be idle, and Li Yi was such a strange thing.

"Okay, there's something to say, I'm busy here!"

Seeing this, Li Yi also put away his jokes.

"Uncle Li, this time the kid is talking about the newspaper ......"

Immediately, Li Yi told Li Er about the newspaper, in fact, this matter should have been said a long time ago, Li Yi came a few times before, and always forgot, this time Li Yi simply made a special trip for this, saving again, after all, this is not a trivial matter, without Li Er's approval, he didn't dare to borrow Li Yi's 800 guts.

Li Ke has always thought that Li Er would have known about this a long time ago, if he knew that Li Yi only said it now, it is estimated that he would have the heart to kill Li Yi!

Li Yi explained for a long time, and Li Er listened to a rough idea.

"What's the difference between the newspaper you said and the newspaper?"

Di Bao is the earliest newspaper of pure officiality, which has existed in the Tang Dynasty, but the scope of involvement is only within the imperial court. After coming to Chang'an for so long, Li Yi has naturally read Di Bao, so he is no stranger to this thing.

"Uncle Li, this is different, in the eyes of the kid, Di Bao is actually a low-profile version of the Holy Decree, but it is not as serious as the Holy Decree; But newspapers are different, they can only be read by people in the government, while newspapers are aimed at ordinary people, that is, all the people can read them! ”

Li Er frowned.

"Isn't this leaking court secrets?"

"How so?" Li Yi hurriedly explained. "Uncle Li, there are many types of news in the newspaper, the news of the imperial court is only a small part, and it can only be published in the newspaper with your approval, and the rest are all things that have nothing to do with the imperial court, and they all involve people's livelihood.

Well, in fact, there are many benefits of newspapers, this is the first, in the past, Uncle Li wanted to issue a decree, and the basic operation was that the imperial court issued an edict, which was transmitted to the local officials of various states and counties, and then the local officials conveyed it to the people, but after all, the local officials were far away from the emperor, and there were some things that the imperial court could not reach at all, and you didn't know whether those local officials in Chang'an had truthfully conveyed your will.

But it's different with newspapers, as long as you put your edict in the newspaper, let it be sent to the hands of the people of the world through the dart bureau, and directly avoid the local government, so that they can't play anything, they can only do things in accordance with your edict step by step! ”

As soon as Li Yi said this, Li Er's eyes suddenly lit up, Li Yi directly grabbed Li Er's sore foot this time, the implementation of the edict of the local government has actually been a problem in the imperial court, and it has been like this since ancient times, one is that the emperor is far away, and the other is that the flow of information is not smooth, many things, Li Er is really out of reach. But Li Yi's newspaper gave Li Er hope.

ordered someone to show Li Yi to sit and watch tea, and it seemed that Li Er was going to start a long talk with Li Yi again.

Li Yi was not hypocritical, sat on the chair, drank a cup of tea, and continued: "Second, with a newspaper, it is equivalent to the flow of information in the world, which has a great effect on opening up the people's wisdom, and furthermore, the most intuitive point, the kid believes that with the newspaper, the literacy rate of the people can be greatly improved!" ”

"Literacy rate?" Li Er's throat rolled, and his eyes were a little hot.

"Go on!"

"Moreover, the main body of the newspaper is the news, and the news is also the world's major events! As long as you grasp the newspaper, you can easily grasp the trend of the whole world without leaving Chang'an City, of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but to some extent, it must have some effect! ”

"Fourth ......"

......

Li Yi said a lot, since he planned to get the newspaper, Li Yi has thought about all the pros and cons very clearly, of course, it is impossible to cover everything, but there is nothing missing in the general direction.

"Uncle Li, in short, the newspaper is equivalent to the eyes and tongue of the imperial court, through the newspaper, you can easily issue decrees and grasp the dynamics of the world. Of course, there are pros and cons! Since the newspaper can become your mouth, it can also become the tongue of others, once someone uses the newspaper to spread rumors, it will cause a big mess! ”

Li Er frowned.

"In that case, wouldn't it be enough to subsume the newspaper office into the imperial court?"

"No, Uncle Li, the newspaper office, like the business alliance, wants to draw a clear line with the imperial court, first, if the newspaper is attributed to the imperial court, it is likely to be a four-different newspaper, which will not achieve the desired effect. Second, the newspaper office belongs to the imperial court, and once someone uses the newspaper to make trouble, it is likely to disturb the imperial program! ”

Li Yi's eyes froze, and he nodded for a while.

"There is some truth in what you said, so what do you say?"

"It's very simple, the newspaper is classified as a business alliance and belongs to a private shop, but the imperial court can send a special person to review it, but it can't interfere with the newspaper's decision-making! In other words, the imperial court is only responsible for censorship, and the rest will be decided by the newspaper itself! ”

Li Er listened, his fingers tapped on the table, closed his eyes and pondered, for a long time, and said slowly: "This matter is very interfering, or slow down first, now it is still the National Day ceremony!" ”

"No!" Li Yi directly denied it. "Your Majesty, the reason why the kid got the newspaper is for the National Day ceremony!"

"Why is that?"

"Uncle Lee, the fundamental meaning of the National Day Ceremony is to display the national symbol, but if there is no newspaper, then the so-called national symbol cannot be conveyed to the world at all, and it cannot even be out of the Gyeonggi region! In this case, the national symbol will be meaningless! ”

When Li Er heard this, his eyes were solemn again.
