"Newspaper?"

Cao Cao asked blankly when he heard the name of the newspaper for the first time.

"Yes, it's the newspaper!"

Lin Chuan then began to give Cao Cao science what is called a newspaper and the role of a newspaper.

"King Wei can understand the newspaper as, huh...... A post station facing the entire Great Wei, but the work of this post station is mainly to deliver letters, and it is not often received. ”

"Well, the newspaper office is a post station that only delivers letters and does not receive letters?"

Although Lin Chuan wanted to explain what a newspaper was in a language that Cao Cao could more easily understand, Cao Cao was still a little at a loss at this time.

"Well, specifically, a newspaper is an institution that is responsible for editing and distributing newspapers."

"Newspapers?"

After listening to Lin Chuan's explanation, Cao Cao asked questions again.

Before the newspaper could figure it out, another newspaper came out!

Lin Chuan only reacted at this time, why didn't he explain to Cao Cao what a newspaper was first.

If you explain what a newspaper is, you will naturally understand what a newspaper is.

So Lin Chuan patiently popularized what is a newspaper for Cao Cao:

"The newspaper is similar to the edict issued by you, the King of Wei, which can be known to all the people of Great Wei, and the specific difference is that the content published in the newspaper is relatively rich."

"For example, you can introduce in the newspaper which state and county has a good grain harvest, how happy the people of which state and county are, and even introduce some of the policies of the Great Wei ......"

At this time, Cao Cao finally understood what a newspaper was, and by the way, he also understood the role of a newspaper.

"Mr. Lin, the content of this newspaper must be strictly censored!"

Cao Cao, who had a keen sense of politics, not only discovered the great role of newspapers, but also made very important demands.

"Please rest assured that the role of the newspaper is to edit, review and distribute the newspaper."

"And the headquarters of the newspaper will definitely be set up in Yecheng, and the officials in charge of the newspaper also need to be personally checked by King Wei."

Lin Chuan knew that Cao Cao had discovered the usefulness of newspapers and newspapers, and once again gave Cao Cao a reassurance.

When Cao Cao heard Lin Chuan's arrangement, he also said with a smile:

"It's still Mr. Lin's thoughtfulness. However, in the eyes of this king, this newspaper and newspaper office still cannot benefit the people of Dawei, and there are only a few literate people today......"

Then Cao Cao voiced his concerns.

The scholars were basically from the Shi clan, and the people were basically illiterate, and if this newspaper was only distributed among the Shi clan and officials, it would not be able to meet the requirements of benefiting the people of the Great Wei.

Who would spend money on newspapers among the illiterate people!

Lin Chuan knew that Cao Cao's worries were very reasonable, but Lin Chuan also took this situation into account.

"King Wei, the distribution of this newspaper, in my plan, the newspapers read by the common people and the scholars will be adjusted differently in terms of content."

"And newspapers now don't need to go directly to the people."

When Cao Cao heard this, he knew that Lin Chuan had already thought about the follow-up, and continued to listen carefully to Lin Chuan's story.

"I think the newspapers for officials and scholars should focus on current affairs."

Lin Chuan took a sip of tea and continued:

"King Wei, the decree you promulgated, officials at different levels will definitely have different interpretations. If the King of Wei had made an authoritative interpretation of the decree through the newspaper, I think officials at all levels would have been able to better implement the decree. ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he didn't interject.

"In this way, this newspaper distributed to the officials and scholars is equivalent to the King of Wei personally explaining your philosophy of governing the country to every official and scholar."

"This may also help Dawei recruit more talent."

As Lin Chuan spoke, Cao Cao's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"I think the newspapers that people read should be based on enriching their knowledge. Nowadays, after the people work, there is no way to enjoy themselves, and if they can increase their knowledge by reading the newspaper, I think the people are very willing. ”

"And there is no need to send the newspaper directly to the people, just to the head of each village."

"In this way, although the people are illiterate, they have more ways to increase their knowledge and pleasures......"

After Lin Chuan finished speaking in one breath, Cao Cao was already convinced.

"Mr. Lin, this newspaper and newspaper are no less beneficial to the Great Wei than the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce and the production base!"

Cao Cao said with emotion that he attaches great importance to newspapers and newspapers that have not yet been established and distributed.

Then Cao Cao asked Lin Chuan:

"Mr. Lin, when will this newspaper and newspaper be established and published?"

Lin Chuan thought for a moment before replying:

"Nowadays, each state and county has not set up a separate paper mill and a printing plant, so it will take some time for this newspaper to achieve unified distribution in the Great Wei."

"After the spring planting, we can start building a new paper mill and printing plant, and we expect the newspaper to be ready for distribution after the autumn harvest next year."

Next, Cao Cao and Lin Chuan continued to discuss the establishment of the newspaper in the side hall.

The time soon came to the end of the year, and Lin Chuan welcomed the New Year for the first time in Yecheng.

Just like in Hanzhong, Lin Chuan likes to go for a walk around the city on New Year's Day to see how the lives of the people have changed.

It was Cao Jie who accompanied Lin Chuan on a walk in the city this time, and she now likes this way of relaxing.

"The lives of the people of Yecheng are getting better and better!"

Lin Chuan looked at the people coming and going on the street, and said with relief to Cao Jie beside him.

Cao Jie also smiled when he heard this:

"Yes, since Mr. Lin came to Dawei, the lives of the people have changed a lot."

Lin Chuan heard Cao Jie's praise, and then smiled:

"When the newspaper office here in Yecheng is established, the people's lives will be more fun again."

When Cao Jie heard the newspaper, she knew what Lin Chuan was talking about, and she learned a lot about modern times by Lin Chuan's side.

However, the intelligent Cao Jie also found a problem like Cao Cao, that is, there are few people who know how to read now.

"Mr. Lin, there are basically few people in Dawei who have read books now, and they can't read this newspaper?"

Cao Jie expressed his doubts to Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan laughed when he heard this, thinking that he was worthy of Cao Cao's daughter, and he found the problem at once.

"I don't know if Miss Cao knows this sentence: 'The people can make it, and it will be done; Can't make it, know it'? ”

Cao Jie thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Jie'er has heard it, this sentence is from the Analects of Tabor!"

After listening to Cao Jie's answer, Lin Chuan said with a smile:

"The answer to Miss Cao's question is in this sentence."

The answer lies in this sentence: "The people can make it, and let it be; Can't make it, know it" inside?

Cao Jie was puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized, and his eyes looked at Lin Chuan even brighter.
