"Di Bao?" Fang Beidou frowned slightly, "What the lord said is the kind of Di Bao issued by the imperial court?"

"Well, that's right, it's a newspaper issued by the imperial court!" Yan Liqiang nodded.

"Of course I know about Di Bao, I've read it before, I don't know what the lord means when he asks me this?"

Yan Liqiang smiled, "It's very simple, I mean, we also run a newspaper......"

"Ah?" Fang Beidou's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at Yan Liqiang with inexplicable eyes, "Isn't this newspaper run by the officials of the palace below, how can ordinary people interfere?

Yan Liqiang looked at Fang Beidou's expression, and knew that Fang Beidou's brain had not turned a corner at all, no wonder, for countless years, people in this world have been accustomed to the fact that the only newspaper in this world is Di Bao, and when he said that he was running a newspaper, Fang Beidou's first thought was Di Bao, and he felt that there was no need for two copies of the same content. Di Bao is the organ newspaper of the Han Empire, which is also equivalent to the internal reference of later generations, and is a tool for the imperial court to release news downward.

"I'm not talking about Di Bao, but something similar to Di Bao, I call this kind of thing a newspaper, Di Bao is aimed at court officials at all levels, it is for officials at all levels to read, the newspaper I am talking about is not limited to officials, anyone can read it, and it is mainly for ordinary people to read!"

Fang Beidou was stunned for a long time, and he didn't come back to his senses, "Isn't that still the same as the Di Bao, those news from the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China can be known as long as you ask someone to inquire about it in the imperial capital, and the decrees and various news issued by the various ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee are very boring and boring, what is the use of the lord sending these things to the people to see, and who will read them?"

Seeing that Fang Beidou's thinking still hadn't jumped out of the mode of Di Bao, Yan Liqiang could only patiently explain to Fang Beidou, " The first difference between the newspaper I am talking about and the Di Bao is that they target different readers, the Di Bao is aimed at officials at all levels of the Han Empire, the newspaper I am talking about is mainly aimed at ordinary people, the second difference between them is that they are distributed in different ways, the Di Bao is distributed by the imperial court and the government for free, and the newspaper I am talking about is not distributed to others for free, it needs others to buy it with money, they have to pay money to see the things in the newspaper, this is the second difference, the third difference, is also the difference between the newspaper I am talking about and the imperial court newspaper, is the difference in the content they publish, the imperial court newspaper is some news and decrees of the imperial court and other thingsThe content of the newspaper I am talking about, as long as it is related to the lives of the people, as long as it is of interest to everyone, it is all-encompassing, and the news such as the imperial decree is only a small part of it, and the others, published in the newspaper, can also have all kinds of new and interesting things that happened in the imperial capital and the surrounding places, can have the words of some people who are looking for the disadvantages of the times, can have the notices of the people looking for people and things, can have the stories told by the storytellers in the teahouse, can have the advertisements of those merchants and merchant groups, and so on......"

Even if Fang Beidou asked himself, he could be regarded as having seen the world, but after hearing Yan Liqiang say these contents in the newspaper, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "This ...... Newspaper ...... Can you still ...... There are still these things!"

"Of course I can, I said yes!" Yan Liqiang smiled confidently, the value of the existence of this kind of newspaper he said has been tested by time and history, and it is naturally impossible to make mistakes, the reason why people in this world did not expect it is because their thinking has not jumped out of the circle of the newspaper, and they did not expect the newspaper to do so. And the so-called Di Bao, in this world, is actually completely similar to a book, a Di Bao is the size of a book, composed of many pages, after the court is issued, these Di Bao can be counted as official documents and archives, which are to be preserved. In everyone's concept, the words printed on paper are books, and no one knows what newspapers are.

And Yan Liqiang's idea of starting a newspaper was also something he slowly figured out after thinking about it recently.

How can we reduce the death of tens of millions of people in that natural disaster four years later? This question has been lingering in Yan Liqiang's head these days, Yan Liqiang imagined all kinds of possibilities in his head, and found that it was impossible to avoid this result, thinking about it, the only way to avoid the disaster is only one, that is, when the disaster happens, everyone leaves the imperial capital and the Siqi region, and to do this, there are only two ways, one is that he became the emperor of the Han Empire in four years, and he can also turn the prime minister overturned, and he can say the same thing in the court, with the blessing of the invincible leader's halo, at that time, he said a word, naturally let the entire imperial capital and the cities around the imperial capital make a big retreat, so that tens of millions of people can make a big migrationThe second way to do this is to give everyone a warning before a disaster strikes.

It is not difficult to give an early warning to one person, but it is difficult to give an early warning to the entire Imperial Capital and these cities around the Imperial Capital and tens of millions of people, and to do this, there must be a strong information channel, otherwise, even if you shout hoarsely, few people will be able to hear it, let alone many people will believe it.

The government is a channel that allows the early warning information to be quickly released and spread, but this channel is still in the hands of Yan Liqiang, and Yan Liqiang has no confidence that he can make a few bureaucrats in the DPRK listen to him with a few words of his own four years later, and rashly release this kind of news that can affect the stability of the entire Han Empire, so if you want to save people and avoid disasters, the safest way is to master an information release and diffusion channel that can be comparable to or even surpass the government, Ye is the best plan that Yan Liqiang can think of after accumulating experience and knowledge in his two lifetimes......

The easiest channel for the release and dissemination of information in the world is the newspaper.

Different from Yan Liqiang's previous life, in this era, there is almost no control and licensing system for press and publishing, no matter what, you can print it if you want, there is no restriction on the number of the issue, and there is no need for anyone to agree, as long as it is not a fallacy to confuse the public and promote rebellion and reason, no one will interfere at all, just like those bookstores and bookstores, they are all self-printed and self-sold, without restrictions, such a publishing environment is simply the diamond age of any paper media.

After Yan Liqiang said this, Fang Beidou suddenly understood what kind of newspaper Yan Liqiang wanted.

"The lord's meaning is to let me use the 100,000 taels of silver to run a newspaper......"

"Well, that's right, you can go to Dijing first to find a bookstore with a printing workshop to buy it, and we're slowly discussing how to do the rest......"
