(It's the weekend, ask for flowers, ask for tickets, ask for collections, and click on them!) ）

Now it was Li Yan's turn to be surprised, a person who had never been in contact with a newspaper could see this at a glance, and it was too genius, but Li Jiang obviously didn't realize that his image was getting taller, and continued:

"If the newspaper is really opened, the laws and personnel of the court are known to the people, and the wisdom of the people is open, they will have doubts about many practices of the court, and if this continues, the ministers are afraid that the court's control over the people will only weaken."

This is a feudal scholar should be worried, and everything can see the pros and cons, no matter what era, it is the quality that a government official should have, Li Yu will not generalize about Li Jiang's reaction like many pig's feet who have crossed over, and denounce him as backward and ignorant, Li Jiang is not a traverser, he can only stand on his own historical coordinate point to look at the problem, and in this historical coordinate point, Li Jiang undoubtedly sees the long term.

In ancient China, due to the vast land and sparse population (relatively speaking) and the backwardness of the means of information dissemination, the rule often adopted a large-scale control and small-scale relaxation mode, in Huang Renyu's point of view, it is a relatively vague management, like Liu Yan when he was a transshipment envoy every day to send fast horses to the four directions to understand the fine management of prices is extremely rare. The problem of fuzzy management is that due to the specific situation of different places, there will be differences in specific practices, for example, the methods of governing Jiangnan and Yunnan and Guizhou cannot be the same, and once this difference involves the issue of interests, it will inevitably lead to disputes. Li Jiang's vision can't help but be vicious.

In this regard, Li Yu also felt incredible, but he was surprised, after all, Li Yu came from the 21st century, and his political IQ may not be able to catch up with these cattle people in ancient times, but his knowledge is countless times broader. In the 50s of the 19th century, when the students of a certain secondary school in Baoding made trouble because of the issue of graduation assignment, then President Liu, after the situation had calmed down, said that we welcome the masses to make trouble, and if the masses do not make trouble, we will not be able to find the problem, and we will make bureaucratic mistakes. In the winter of the twenty-first year of Zhenyuan, Li Yu said to Li Jiang in a serious voice in the Zichen Palace:

"Do the people of my Datang like to make trouble?"

"It's not."

"Could it be that all the officials in my Tang Dynasty are corrupt officials?"

"Of course not."

In other words, as long as the politics of the court are clear and the people live and work in peace and contentment, there will be no trouble. Datang's country is still stable. If the people make trouble, it means that there is a problem in the governance of the officials in a certain place. With such pressure, the court will be cautious, and the officials will also be cautious, only when the upper and lower levels are cautious, can the country be politically clear and long-term peace and stability! ”

As a master of the moment, how can Li Jiang not understand the subtlety of Li Xuan's remarks? Also impressed was Pei Du, the resident on duty, who, like Li Jiang, was also given the task of giving advice to the emperor at any time. It is said that Li Jiang and Pei Du had a small gathering together after leaving the palace, and they sighed during the banquet:

"In this way, it is no longer easy to be an official."

No matter how busy the life of the ancients was, the pace could not be faster than that of modern people. In fact, it has been almost 200 years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and there are rules for how to do many things, as long as you are responsible for your superiors, relatively speaking, the pressure is not great, the income of officials is also high, and the life is still relatively comfortable. However, if newspapers really want to flourish, it means that Shangguan and the whole society of the imperial court may know what you have done at any time, just like in modern society after the popularization of the telephone and the Internet, no matter how lawless officials are, they cannot block the dissemination of information, so one corrupt official after another has fallen on the Internet. Li Jiang and Pei Du are both people with a long-term vision, so they can naturally see this.

However, Li Jiang's work efficiency is still very high, and he soon found a few highly famous landing scholars from Han Yu, speaking of which, neither of them is unknown, a middle-aged man in his forties, with a shabby face, is the famous Meng Jiao Meng Dongye, the author of "The Line in the Hands of a Loving Mother, the Wanderer's Shirt", one is Han Yu's proud protégé Li Yi, Han Yu's famous essay "Shi Said" was written for him. In addition, Li Jiang also fished a famous literati, Wang Jian.

Wang Jian, the word Zhongchu, was a native of Yingchuan (now Xuchang, Henan). The family is poor, "thirteen years in the army", and the hometown is "worried about food and clothing all day long", after the age of forty, "the white-haired first official", sinking in the subordinates, Ren County, Sima and the like, known as Wang Sima. He wrote a large number of Yuefu, sympathetic to the suffering of the people, and was as famous as Zhang Ji. However, Wang Jian had only been in the army for eight years at this time, and he came to Chang'an on business because of something, and when he heard Han Yu say that there was such a good thing, he abandoned the little official and did not do it. Li Jiang chose him because he valued his rich experience. Wang Jian, Meng Jiao, and Li Jian were in charge of it.

In addition to these editors-in-chief, Li Jiang also recruited some special writers, Han Yu is naturally the best, and Wang Jian is equally famous, Zhang Ji, who has just been recommended by Han Yu as Dr. Guozi, is also one of them, in addition to Bai Juyi, Yuan Zhen, Chen Hong and others, and later there is a twenty-five-year-old monk named Wuben, who also joined in the fun, it can really be described as a strong lineup, just with the appeal of these people, this newspaper can eat all walks of life among scholars.

However, the key factors influencing this newspaper are the price of paper and printing. Later generations like to collect Song edition books, why? The quality is too good. Add spices to the paper, open the book is beneficial, the collection of books has become a scholarly door, the printing is exquisite, there are many famous writing molds, and the quality of the engraving is also good, such as Ouyang Xiu's anthology, the word mold is written by Su Shi, can it not be popular? However, it is obvious that running a newspaper cannot take such a boutique route. Li Xu's plan is to support them to go for a while, and then let them take care of their own profits and losses, and then pay a sum of money to the inner government every year, such a condition Li Yu put forward without changing his face and heartbeat, Li Jiang didn't expect the emperor to be so insulting, he was stunned for a while, forgot to refute it, and accepted this unequal treaty in the eyes of everyone.

So as soon as this newspaper was opened, the first consideration was the issue of funding, Meng Jiao said with a sad face that we should save money from the beginning, and was vetoed by Wang Jianhao, Wang Jian was a chivalrous figure when he was young, at this time, the ambition was exhausted, the pride was still there, and the mind was not broad and unrealistic, under the auspices of Wang Jianli, the first three issues were used in hardcover.

At the beginning of December, the newspaper was officially launched in the sound of crackling firecrackers, because the address was in the Chunming Gate, and the scholars were full of culture, so the newspaper was named "Chunming Foreign History". made Li Yu laugh non-stop after seeing the sample, from the name to the personnel, there is no one who is not famous, and it is difficult to think about it. There was a side of the newspaper full of poems, many of which Li Yu had learned from textbooks, but what attracted Li Yu was obviously the headline news on the front page:

The tall and handsome man went down to Zizhou with a drum.
