Chapter 502: The Newspaper
Kangxi asked again: "How much silver does a printing press need to make it?" ”
Yin Zhen probably guessed what Kangxi meant, and replied truthfully: "It takes about 10,000 taels of silver." ”
Kangxi thought about his private bank for a while, and felt that he could support it.
"I will go back and ask people to send 200,000 taels of silver tickets, and then let people make 20 sets out."
"Yes, Erchen knows."
Then Yinzhen said: "Huang Ama, the ministers have some ideas about the printing press!" ”
Kangxi didn't expect Yinzhen to have ideas.
"You say." Kangxi is now very interested in Yinzhen's "idea".
"Erchen thinks that the world is so ignorant today, coupled with the fact that most people are illiterate and easy to be induced to make mistakes, the reason why the White Lotus Sect can succeed is because people with intentions have spread false remarks, so that the White Lotus Sect has room to operate, if the people can understand the decrees issued by the court in a timely manner, it can largely avoid the situation of officials bullying and concealing their subordinates, and it can also prevent the people from being used by people with intentions."
Kangxi felt that what Yinzhen said made sense: "You go on, what does this have to do with the printing press." ”
"Erchen thinks that now the printing speed has come up, Erchen plans to let people print out the news of the court, sell it to the outside world every day, one or two pieces of paper do not cost money, readers want to understand the policy of the court, naturally they will not be stingy with a few silver, so that they will not lose money, plus when the time comes, hire some people with excellent eloquence in the major teahouses to read out the political affairs of printing, those who are illiterate can also understand state affairs, so as not to be deceived by people with a heart, what does Huang Ama think?"
Kangxi Tingyinzhen said it in such detail, I think it shouldn't be a whim.
"You've had this in mind since the beginning?"
"I do have this plan, at that time, Erchen Fujin mentioned that she heard that the White Lotus Sect had people privately circulate paper articles against the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, which was quite inflammatory, and Erchen thought of this method."
Kangxi felt that Yinzhen's proposal was very feasible.
"You can write an excerpt about this."
"Yes"
Yinzhen felt that it was understandable that Kangxi would agree to such a thing, after all, this matter was indeed conducive to consolidating the dominance of the Qing Dynasty.
It didn't take long for the printed book "Analects" to be presented to Kangxi, with clear fonts on it, and there were no mistakes or omissions in copying the book, and Kangxi was quite satisfied.
Kangxi was about to praise two sentences, Su Peisheng came in and said: "I have seen the emperor, the emperor is auspicious, I have seen the master, the master is auspicious." ”
Kangxi: "Get up!" What's the matter? ”
"If you go back to the emperor, Fujin asked people to prepare lunch, and asked people to come over and say that if it is convenient for the emperor, you can eat first, and it is not too late to continue the discussion after the meal."
Kangxi felt really good about Xin Ru, and the Mongolian trip began to feel that Xin Ru acted in a grand manner, coupled with the matter of the printing press this time, Kangxi smiled and said to Yinzhen: "Since you are all ready, this matter is not in a hurry, let's go, go to dinner first." ”
"Yes"
Kangxi finished eating, discussed with Yinzhen about the printing of the "news" that Yinzhen said, and left.
Kangxi left, Yinzhen began to get busy, Yinzhen will be the printing mode of the newspaper, the printing layout, and the distribution method...... and a series of questions, Yinzhen wrote them out, of course, Yinzhen also wrote in the person in charge of the newspaper he liked.
Kangxi received Yinzhen's excerpt and felt that the feasibility was very high.
It was brought up at the time of the Great Pilgrimage.
“…… I think this newspaper proposed by King Yongjun is very useful, and it can make the people more aware of the policies of the court...... What do Zhong Aiqing think? ”
"The emperor is wise." The ministers said in unison.
Kangxi didn't plan to ask the people below to recommend the person in charge this time, he planned to directly use Chen Mingda, Shen Wuya and Liang Qi recommended by Yinzhen.
Although the ministers below were meaningful, they decided to keep silent because of Kangxi's majesty.
When Kangxi saw this, he also felt satisfied, a courtier, he should be obedient, otherwise he would be a master and it would be boring.
