"Back to the emperor, the preliminary preparations for Ming Pao have been completed, and the outstanding ones selected by Hanlin and Guozijian will be the editors, and they will be published in two days!" Xiao Ming replied.

"As the only newspaper officially issued, Ming Pao must become the most authoritative comprehensive daily newspaper in the Ming Dynasty, and it must report news with a high degree of authority, solemnity, objectivity and accuracy, so as to improve the influence of Ming Pao in the hearts of the people!" Yang Su explained the importance of Ming Pao in detail.

"Please rest assured, the minister will definitely do a good job of Ming Pao! Your Majesty, the minister asked each issue of Ming Pao to have an article to write about the shortcomings of the previous dynasty and then compare the system of our dynasty, so that the people know that our dynasty is good, these are the three manuscripts written by the minister himself, please decide which one to put in the first issue for good? Xiao Ming took the manuscript out of his sleeve and handed it to Wang Chengen.

Yang Su took the manuscript and spread it on the table to take a look, the three manuscripts were simple and unpretentious, but they vividly described Yang Su as a saint who worked hard to make good clothes and food, and the articles were reasonable, all of them were the true deeds of Chongzhen, Yang Su felt moved when he read it.

"It's very well written, in the future, Ming Pao should be written like you, and it can be written in the vernacular, so that the old women in the village can understand, Ming Pao is for the people of the world, not just for scholars, my image can be plumped again, the story can't just be blindly praised, that will make people feel that the same is not effective, although I am the Son of Heaven but also a person! The plot can be more twisty, after all, it is an artistic image! I'll give you permission to do it! Yang Su said righteously.

"The minister obeys the order, and when the minister goes back, he will revise the draft again, and he must announce the deeds of the emperor's work for the people of the world, so that the people know that the emperor attaches great importance to them! The rest of the manuscripts were also personally reviewed and corrected to make the language more vernacular, so that all the people could understand it! Xiao Ming nodded again and again and reassured, and then admonished, "The emperor now has many other newspapers in the world, all of which are handled by private individuals, and the ministers have checked and found that these publications are basically losing money, and all of these publications will promote all kinds of views to mislead the people, and most of the people behind them are Donglin Party members!" The minister begged the emperor to formulate a system to standardize the content of the newspaper! ”

Yang Su nodded, Xiao Ming still saw the importance of propaganda very captively, but Yang Su was not ready to move those people recently, Yang Su never liked to cut meat with a blunt knife, he had always been either not moving like a mountain, or moving like a fire.

Wouldn't it be easy to directly knock out the interest groups behind the Donglin Party, and then turn around and clean up the Donglin Party, why bother with more effort, and if the official newspaper with Yang Su's support can't compete with the street tabloids, then Xiao Ming can go home and farm.

"The time has not come, wait!" Yang Su said lightly.

"Lord Xiao come and sit and drink tea! Do you want to ask someone to bring you some snacks to cushion your stomach? Wang Chengen saw that the waiter brought chairs and tea, and hurriedly beckoned Xiao Ming to sit down.

Xiao Ming carefully lifted half of his official robe and sat on the chair, "Thank you, the prince, the lower officials are not hungry!" Just drink tea! ”

"It's already noon, so I don't need a snack, wait for Xiao Ming to accompany me to eat together, go and tell the imperial dining room to prepare a few more dishes, and eat after the matter is discussed." Yang Su instructed Wang Chengen.

"Thank you for your grace!" Xiao Ming knelt down gratefully and thanked him.

"Get up!" Yang Su asked Xiao Ming to get up, and then continued to explain, "Ming Bao is my tongue, you must promote the court and me, and now there are two important things that you must pay attention to after you go back." ”

"Please ask the emperor to command!"

"Huangzhuang involves my future plans, you must announce the benefits of Huangzhuang to the people of the world, let them know the goodness of Huangzhuang, how high the threshold is to publicize Huangzhuang, and let the people be willing to move into Huangzhuang from the bottom of their hearts to become my villagers!" Yang Su assigned the task. Xiao Ming nodded solemnly from time to time, and quickly recorded on the wat board in his hand.

Yang Su continued: "Xi'an was victorious, millions of rogues fled under the power of the heavens, and Hong Chengchou was able to relieve the siege of Xi'an. Go back and write an exclusive report according to Hong Chengchou's recital as the content of the first issue. In addition, I plan to use the land of Shaanxi as a reward for the soldiers who have achieved military merits, and then I will reformulate the military merit system. ”

"The minister who understands must strive to let all the soldiers know about the emperor's new system! Let them better serve the emperor and fight bravely to kill the enemy! Xiao Ming said in a low voice.

"How many copies are you going to print for the first issue? What is the price? Yang Su continued to ask.

"The minister's ordinary tabloid only prints more than 1,000 copies in one issue, and the minister plans to print 100,000 copies first, and the cost price is 10 yuan, and the minister plans to let people sell it at a price of 15 yuan, so that ordinary people can afford it!" Xiao Ming secretly glanced at Yang Su and asked.

"It's not enough, print a million copies first, and sell it at cost price, and you don't have to be afraid of losing money, but the things I earned for a little silver taels are not exchanged!" You don't have to worry about the channel, when the time comes, I will ask the post station to help distribute Ming Pao to the whole world, even if it is free to the people, I will send Ming Pao out!" Yang Su said conclusively.

In this era, the transmission speed of information is extremely slow, but Ming Pao can make up for this piece, Yang Su dares to guarantee that as long as he uses the post station to help deliver Ming Pao, Ming Pao will have a timeliness that other newspapers and periodicals cannot match, plus it is an official newspaper, Ming Pao will definitely be able to spread, and it will always play a role in time imperceptibly.

"Obey the order!" Xiao Ming hurriedly agreed.

"How's the enrollment going?" Yang Su was concerned about the country's prison.

"Now the minister has more than 2,000 new recruits, a total of more than 3,000 people, the annual Guozijian tuition plus the silver taels of the materials sold, can make a profit of one million per year, please make it clear to the emperor how to deal with this silver taels?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Take it from the people, of course, it should be used for the people, a new private school should be built in Huangzhuang, Guozijian is responsible for compiling enlightenment teaching materials, six disciplines need to be taught, young children are immediately enrolled for free at the age of six, I provide them with food textbooks, the teacher is served by the supervisors, each period of assessment for students, the assessment results as part of the results after the prisoner's birthday, every prisoner wants to graduate needs to go to Huangzhuang as a teacher for more than a semester, you go to tell the prisoners that they are not good, they are good teachers, if even a group of young children are not good to teach, How can we govern the country and the people for me? Yang Su emphasized to Xiao Ming.

"Obey! There is one more thing about Ming Baochen, and I dare to ask the emperor for help! Xiao Ming stood up and asked respectfully.

"What do you do?" Yang Su nodded and said.

"Ming Pao, is the abbreviation of my Daming Daily, which will be issued all over the world in the future, and I implore the emperor to write the inscription to correct the name of Ming Pao!" Xiao Ming knelt down and asked respectfully.

Wang Chengen stared at Xiao Ming, who had a serious face, and secretly said in his heart that there were so many twists and turns in the hearts of the literati, and they had to turn around the fart.

"Ding Dong, dear master, random task release: one person holds up a newspaper, so that everyone in the world pursues Ming Pao, and the reward is worth 5 points." The voice of the system elf sounded in Yang Su's mind.

Yang Su frowned suddenly, this task is not easy, he can ensure that officials and scholars everywhere will buy Ming Pao to understand the policies of the imperial court, but ordinary people cannot buy newspapers often, this is a problem!

Yang Su pondered for a moment and finally came to his senses, and said happily, "Bring the pen!"

After the waiter laid out the paper on the table, took the brush handed over by Wang Chengen, Yang Suti waved the pen and printed the word Ming Bao on the paper.

"The emperor's strokes are sharp, such as cutting through the nails, and entering the wood for three points! There is even a fierce aura rushing to the face, and the ministers are afraid that their backbone is no less than that of Liuhedong! Xiao Ming looked at Yang Su's words and was intoxicated with admiration, and when the ink on the paper dried, he carefully folded the paper and put it into his sleeve.

Yang Su smiled and said nothing, the words are like his people, although he is not good at calligraphy, but he has lived for hundreds of years in his previous life, and he still has some attainments in calligraphy!

"Issued the day after tomorrow, is it too late for me to make changes in Ming Pao now?" Yang Su asked.

"The emperor has a million copies, with the current scale, even if the craftsmen in the palace are working overtime to print, it will take more than ten days, and if you want to speed up, the movable type template is definitely not enough and needs to be remade, the minister's plan is to issue 10,000 copies of the newspaper of the day in the capital, and the rest will be slowly produced, and then sent to various places, so there is plenty of time!" Xiao Ming explained to Yang Su in detail.

"Cheng En, tell the food! Xiao Ming, you accompany me to eat and talk!" Yang Su instructed Wang Chengen while beckoning Xiao Ming to walk towards the side hall next to him.
