Seeing that the matter had settled, Jiajing withdrew his gaze, pretended to be careless, and spoke instead.

"I'm going to set up a new department dedicated to the distribution of newspapers!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he looked like he was aware of it, and immediately explained to everyone.

"The so-called newspaper, similar to the Di Bao, has the function of publicizing the government and publishing interesting news, etc., and compared with the Di Bao, the newspaper only has a piece of paper, and correspondingly, the price of the newspaper is much cheaper."

"With a little cost control, we can reach the point where the people of Daming can buy it!"

After Jiajing's explanation, everyone present also understood what the emperor wanted to express.

"The newspaper that Your Majesty mentioned just now is just a simplified version of the newspaper!"

However, everyone still couldn't understand the emperor's intentions, and it stands to reason that the emperor doesn't have to worry about such a trivial matter!

Immediately afterwards, I saw Yan Song stand up and say respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that you don't have to worry about such a trivial matter at all!"

When Jiajing heard this, the expression on his face remained unchanged, and he seemed to be smiling.

"Oh, when Elder Yan Ge said that, did he agree to my proposal?"

Yan Song did not doubt that he had him, and immediately nodded quite firmly, and said respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen thinks ......"

It's just that Yan Song's words were not finished before he was interrupted by Jiajing excitedly.

"It just so happens that before you came, I had already thought of the name of this department to be established, and it should be called the Information Agency!"

After listening to the name chosen by Jiajing for the new department, Yan Song's eyes also lit up, and he couldn't help but praise.

"News, news, new anecdotes, Your Majesty, what a good name!"

At this moment, Xu Jie, who was on the side, stepped forward and asked Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon for saying too much, what name do you plan to give to the newspaper you are about to create?"

As soon as Xu Jie's words fell, the eyes of everyone present couldn't help but converge on the emperor, quietly waiting for an answer.

When Jiajing heard this, after thinking about it for a long time, he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately cut the railway.

"Yes, this upcoming newspaper, I plan to name it Daming Daily!"

"What do you think of this name?"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he looked around, waiting for everyone's comments on this.

When Gao Gong on the side heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and immediately plucked up his courage and admonished Jiajing.

"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that this move is inappropriate!"

Seeing that the emperor's gaze fell on him, Gao Gong suppressed the panic in his heart, and after sorting out his words, he said his thoughts unhurriedly.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen privately thinks that this upcoming newspaper can't afford the title of Daming!"

Gao Gong's remarks were approved by the vast majority of the members of the cabinet.

Immediately, I saw Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie, who were on the side, also following Ying Hedao.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is just a small newspaper, how can it afford the title of Daming?"

Hearing this, Jiajing withdrew his gaze and muttered for a moment before speaking.

"My idea is to use Daming to name the newspaper, so that the common people can intuitively know that this is a newspaper issued by the imperial court, which is authoritative and highly credible!"

After Jiajing finished speaking, he added a sentence immediately.

"Do you have any thoughts on this?"

Seeing that the emperor had already planned everything before everyone arrived, everyone had to nod yes.

At this moment, Yan Shifan, who had been silent, asked an extremely critical question.

"Your Majesty, who do you plan to run this newly established Information Agency?"

As soon as Yan Shifan's words fell, the eyes of everyone present became warm.

In any case, the establishment of a new department in the imperial court means that there are more vacancies, and if this newly established Information Agency can be firmly in its hands, there is no doubt that it will greatly expand the power in its hands!

And Jiajing seemed to see what everyone was thinking, and after chuckling, he turned his gaze to Lu Fang on the side and ordered.

"The newly established Information Bureau, I plan to hand it over to Lu Fang to manage!"

When Lu Fang heard this, his face was full of incredulity, and he was stunned for a moment, and he hesitated.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, this, this ......"

It was not only Lu Fang who was surprised by this, Yan Song and the others were also in a state of stupor at the moment.

Not long ago, they were still thinking in their hearts that if the emperor put the newly established department in charge of himself, he would arrange for all the people under his command to be sent to this information office.

And the emperor's trick to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, there is no doubt that everyone's calculations have come to naught!

Jiajing met the puzzled gaze of everyone and announced the new regulations unhurriedly.

"From now on, the chief of the Information Department will be the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant and the celebrant!"

Jiajing's voice fell, and I saw Lu Fang on the side kneeling on the ground with a 'plop', his face full of gratitude, and said in a deep voice.

"The slave and maid must live up to His Majesty's trust and do this errand well!"

Jiajing took in the expression on Lu Fang's face, nodded imperceptibly, and immediately commanded.

"Well, get up!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After getting Jiajing's answer, Lu Fang slowly got up from the ground, and then, as usual, waited beside Jiajing, motionless, without any expression on his face, like a stone.

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Jiajing turned his gaze to Yan Song and commanded in a deep voice.

"Yan Song, later, on your cabinet, the matter that Guozijian is about to add new disciplines and the imperial court is about to issue a newspaper will be officially announced!"

When Yan Song heard this, his expression turned grim, and he responded respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then, I saw Jiajing looking at the ground carelessly, waved his hand, and immediately commanded.

"Alright, I have more business to attend to, you can leave!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers are leaving!"

Immediately afterwards, Yan Song and the others, after saluting Jiajing respectfully, left the Heart Cultivation Hall one after another.

Soon, in the huge Heart Nourishing Palace, only Jiajing and Lu Fang were left.

Just as Jiajing was about to take out the formation cheats to study, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the look on Lu Fang's face that wanted to speak and stopped, Jiajing had no choice but to put the book in his hand aside, and immediately spoke.

"Lu Fang, do you have anything to say to me?"

Seeing that the emperor had peeked into his mind, Lu Fang couldn't help but start worrying while breathing a sigh of relief.

In the end, after thinking for a long time, Lu Fang said in a deep voice as if he had made up his mind.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid has not been in contact with this aspect of affairs before this, and the slave and maid are afraid that it will be bad for Your Majesty when the time comes......"

Before Lu Fang's words were finished, he was categorically interrupted by Jiajing.

"Don't worry, I've already thought of a countermeasure!"

"I plan to divide the upcoming Daming Daily into two editions."

Jiajing paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued.

"One version is specially for those officials and gentry, and this version of Daming Daily is mostly textual, and the paper used is better, and the price is more expensive!"

"The other version is for those ordinary people, mainly pictures, and the paper used in the newspaper is cheap and cheap, so that it can save costs and sell more newspapers!"
