"Although there is a imperial examination in the imperial court, even if it is now opened every year, the number of people admitted to the imperial examination every year is relatively small, not to mention that after the world is stable in the future, the imperial examination will be held once every three years, otherwise, there will be a situation where there are many officials and the people are very burdened, what should those scholars who fail to be elected? Many of them will be displaced in the capital, and they will also find some work for them, and when they have nothing to do, they will publish some poems and songs, put them in the newspaper, and the newspaper will give them some money, and some officials will be corrupt and pervert the law, what should they do with these things? You can publish their actual results in the newspaper and let them stink for 10,000 years. Li Xin smiled and gave some examples.

Du Ruhui and Ma Zhou first showed surprise, and soon showed horror. In this era, literati are officials, not only because of the yearning for power, but more importantly, they still want to glorify their ancestors. No one who reads a book would expect this to happen to themselves.

"Your Majesty, although this newspaper is very good, if you want him to publish it all over the world, let all the people in the world know about it. No, let the literate people in the world know that the money spent is also very large. What's more, it is necessary to give those readers some pen polishing fees, which will cost even more, can the imperial court support it? Ma Zhou said another question.

"Haha! The support rises, the support rises. Li Xin said with a smile: "Printing this thing, the more printed, the cheaper the price, we can divide a few pages, some pages can be given to those business owners, let them advertise on it, promote their restaurants, etc., let them pay, although the price of the newspaper is very low, in this way, even if it is a loss." I won't lose much! The imperial court mainly grasps this direction, this position, some things that cannot appear in the people, or rumors, proverbs and the like, will only appear after review, and there are some things that the imperial court can use to refute rumors and guide public opinion. ”

"Your Majesty." Du Ruhui took a deep breath and couldn't help but arch his hand and said, "With this newspaper, it is enough to solve many things that are difficult for the imperial court to solve. ”

"I want to do it all. It's hard! Because there are not many literate people in my Tang Dynasty, why do some officials in the local area deceive and conceal them, and many policies of the imperial court cannot be implemented in the local area, isn't it because those ordinary people are illiterate, so they don't know? The corrupt officials were given a chance, and the newspapers were trying to solve the problem on the one hand, but the schools scattered all over the country continued, and people between the ages of one and nine entered the school for free and received enlightenment. This is what benefits the present and the future generations. Li Xin sighed and said, "This is a long-term process, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve it in my generation." ”

"Your Majesty has this heart. It will be done. Ma Zhou couldn't help but feel relieved.

"It is the honor of the minister to be by His Majesty's side." Du Ruhui couldn't help but arch his hand and said. Following Li Xin for more than ten years, Du Ruhui has never regretted it, even when Li Xin has not yet risen. He and Fang Xuanling were still arguing about this matter, Fang Xuanling kept persuading him to leave Li Xin, and Du Ruhui owed the Gao family a favor on the one hand. Second, he was attracted by Li Xin's charm. Until now, he is very grateful for every decision he makes, and Li Xin is a rare Mingjun.

"So who can write about this person now? Who do you think can write this? Li Xin glanced at the two and said.

"How is Lord Yang Zhai Hou Chu Liang?" Du Ruhui thought for a while and said: "The boss is good at literature, and the expo is all-encompassing, and the eyes must be remembered."

"Boss Chu is brilliant, he is a suitable person to preside over this matter, but he is a little older, find a young person to assist him! How is Xu Jingzong? Li Xin thought for a while and asked.

Du Ruhui frowned, although Xu Jingzong is a little talented, but this person's character is not very good, he likes money, let this person be in charge of the newspaper, it is inevitable that there will be problems in the future, he glanced at Ma Zhou, saw that Ma Zhou was also frowning, and immediately knew the other party's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, Xu Jingzong is assisting Lord Changsun in revising the Tang Law, I'm afraid I can't do it, Your Majesty would better change someone." Du Ruhui thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, how is Feng Deyi?" ”

Feng Deyi is not a good person, but compared with Xu Jingzong, Feng Deyi gave Du Ruhui a much better impression, so Du Ruhui still recommended Feng Deyi.

"Feng Deyi! This is the courtiers under the former Emperor Wu! Li Xin still remembered this person, and immediately frowned and said: "Even if he changes, I'm afraid it won't work to let him preside over this matter, so be it!" Yu Shinan, Yu Shiji's younger brother, this person is good at writing and calligraphy, and he is also a little famous in Shilin, what do you think? ”

Du Ruhui and Ma Zhou suddenly realized when they heard this, Li Xin did not agree with Xu Jingzong, nor would it be Feng Deyi, but Yu Shinan, Yu Shinan is good at calligraphy, and his writing is also good, and in general, he is also a candidate, but this person's qualifications are too low, so he was not considered by the two. Now, after Li Xin said this, the two of them understood that although the newspaper that Li Xin wanted to run was under the system of the imperial court, it was outside, whether it was Chu Liang or Yu Shinan, one was an old man who was about to retire, and the other was a person with some prestige in Shilin, and the combination of the two showed the position of the newspaper.

"Tang Feng." Li Xin's thing that he had been thinking about for a long time finally appeared, and he raised the Tang Feng in his hand and said, "Keming, let Master Pei write two words and let people carve them as the name of the newspaper!" ”

"Yes." Du Ruhui took the paper in Li Xin's hand and looked at it for a moment before nodding.

"This matter must be done as soon as possible, let Chu Liang and Yu Shinan invite more people, and what is in the newspaper! In addition to poetry and songs, other written things should be easy to understand, don't care about it, we hold a newspaper, not only for the readers, but more importantly, for the common people to read, so that they know what the newspaper explains, the major policies of the imperial court, this is the most important thing. ”

"I understand." Only then did Du Ruhui understand that this newspaper might soon be popular throughout the Tang Dynasty, and local officials would not necessarily like such things, of course, those Qing officials, especially the imperial historians, liked these things even more.

What Li Xin needs to do is to propose a more accurate positioning for the emergence of the new thing newspaper, so that it becomes invulnerable and becomes something that others cannot imitate, and such a sharp weapon cannot be used by others.

He also put forward such an idea before, but Li Xin's strength at that time was not enough, and even if he put forward the idea, he couldn't do better, but now it's different. Li Xin's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the newspaper will also be a big killer, in terms of public opinion, it can allow him to occupy a better position, those big families will definitely be defeated by Li Xin over time, and they will not even have a chance to turn over in public opinion.

Li Xin is operating the newspaper here, but Li Xin's rumors against Li Shimin are fermenting, and the preferred location of the rumors is in Yecheng, Hebei, which has been spread from Liyang, because the matter is relatively vigorous, so the speed of transmission far exceeds Li Xin's estimate, but it has spread all over Hebei in a few days.

Li Shimin's location at the moment is only three hundred miles away from Xindu, and the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry he led came to the town, and did not enter the town, but set up a large camp outside the town, and asked Hou Junji to go to buy some food, and discussed with Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng the things he should pay attention to after entering Xindu.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came, Li Shimin frowned, when he was deliberating, what he didn't like the most was to be disturbed, and within a few feet of his Chinese army, there could be no noisy sounds.

"Your Highness." Hou Junji's anxious voice came, and then the big tent was lifted, only to see Hou Junji break in with an anxious face, and there was a trace of panic between his expressions.

"Hou Junji, what's so flustered?" Li Shimin said dissatisfiedly.

"Your Highness, things aren't going bad." Hou Junji glanced at Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, thought about it, still approached Li Shimin, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Where did this rumor come from, how could the prince be?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said. But soon his complexion changed, and he became more gloomy, and his eyes showed anger in the depths of his eyes.

"Your Highness, is something happening?" Seeing this, Fang Xuanling hurriedly asked.

"There are rumors outside that there is a matter between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Yin, and there are even people who find Concubine Yin's personal ** in the East Palace." Li Shimin said with a gloomy face: "I know the temperament of the prince, and he will never do such a thing." This must be a rumor from Li Xin's side, which is used to ruin the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Li Xinqi's heart is so vicious. ”

"Your Highness, I'm afraid it's too early to say that Li Xin did it at this time." A middle-aged man with a delicate face walked in outside, but it was Yu Zhining, who was engaged in Tiance Mansion, and was placed by Li Xin in Xindu to deal with the affairs of Qin Wangfu, but he didn't expect to rush to the town at this time, looking at his gloomy appearance, he knew that the news brought by Yu Zhining was probably not a good thing.

"Zhong Mi, is there any news to tell this king, could it be that this matter has been spread all over the world, and the letter will not come true?" Li Shimin also felt bad at this time, it would be better if this matter was passed on by Li Xin, if not, it would be a problem, and Li Shimin had to pay attention to it. (To be continued.) )
