"However, Your Highness, I am afraid that the selection of these people will be time-consuming and laborious, and the good and the bad are mixed......"

Liu Yuanshan thought about it and said.

Since it is necessary to recruit the people to write these manuscripts, these problems will inevitably arise.

"Don't worry, these people don't use it to write news, they use it to write stories."

Ye Yu spoke slowly, "As long as they write something that the people can understand and the story is interesting, isn't that good?" ”

"But...... If there are too many articles, I am afraid that the news will be delayed......"

Liu Yuanshan continued to think, "Your Highness, it's not that the minister disagrees, it's just that if it is to be implemented, there will inevitably be some problems, and the minister wants to take precautions." ”

"I don't mean to blame you."

"You said it very well, and it needs to be solved before it can be implemented."

Ye Yu nodded, "Ling'er, how do you think these things can be solved?" ”

After all, Gongsun Ling'er is the actual leader of the newspaper and propaganda department.

"I think I can do a big competition just like any other competition before!"

Gongsun Ling'er thought about it and said, "When I was in the Jia Dynasty before, I saw a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, can it be used?" ”

"That's right!"

"Thank you for your advice!"

Liu Yuanshan had an epiphany, "Hold some competitions and let the people judge, who writes these articles better!" ”

"Well, when the time comes, the winner will be able to recruit a permanent author."

Ye Yu nodded and said, "You are reporters, and these people are authors, complementing each other." ”

"Well, then the competition should think about how to get the people to choose what they want......

"The newspaper should be able to add a page dedicated to their story."

Ye Yu said, "At the end of this page, make a part that can be cut out and use your special markers. Ask the people to fill in their names. ”

"Hmm...... In this way, anyone who buys a newspaper can participate in voting. ”

"But wouldn't it be ...... if someone bought a lot at once?"

Liu Yuanshan frowned and said, "There will be suspicion of fraud in this way." ”

"Fake it like this, let him do it!"

Ye Yu opened his mouth and said, "We will publish a story for three days in a row, he must have the ability to buy all the newspapers, let's make money, he has to pay such a big price to get the so-called first place, then give it to him." ”

"But it's never true to its name......"

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet."

Ye Yu explained with a smile, "Although we will give a fixed amount of money to these authors, in addition to submitting stories regularly, we also need him to write long-form serial stories. ”

"Isn't that enough?"

"No, we will compile and print a book and publish it every month for the people to read."

"The people continue to vote, and those authors who are at the bottom are eliminated in three months."

Hearing Liu Yuanshan's worries, Ye Yu spoke, "If he is at the bottom for three consecutive months, he will be eliminated, and he will either re-participate in the competition and qualify, or change his career." ”

"But Your Highness, what is this for?"

Liu Yuanshan was a little curious, "I'm afraid this matter isn't a whim of His Highness, right?" ”

"That's right."

Ye Yu said and smiled, "It's just that those literati don't want to die and find a way to become officials." ”

"Yes...... If you want to write a story......"

"There are always people who want to be officials."

Ye Yu said slowly, "There are still many professions in the future, which require cultural knowledge, including those warlocks. I can't let all cultural people just take the road of becoming officials, otherwise who will do other things? ”

Hearing this, Liu Yuanshan nodded and understood what Ye Yu meant.

At this point, the train had already passed through the woods and was almost to the border.

It's not getting early.

It didn't take long for the train to stop slowly, and Ye Yu took Gongsun Ling'er to get off the train.

"Your Highness, here?"

Zhang Xingbang was already waiting at the station in advance, "You are here too?" ”

Seeing Liu Yuanshan, he was a little curious.

Although there is a bit of hatred in my heart, I am doing things together no matter how I say it now, and the intelligence organization that is both bright and dark also cooperates very well.

Anyway, they used to be father and son.

"As the head of the newspaper, of course I have to come."

Liu Yuanshan said and smiled slightly, "This is big news. ”

"Indeed, the intelligence gathering on the surface is handed over to you."

Zhang Xingbang nodded.

"Alright, let's find a place to rest today."

Ye Yu said, "We'll go and see it tomorrow." ”

Saying that, Ye Yu hugged Gongsun Ling'er and went to the camp where Zhang Xingbang was stationed.

"It's a little cold, but it's nice in the mountains."

Gongsun Ling'er looked at the surroundings and said with a smile, "I haven't been out for a picnic for a long time." ”

She regarded the last experience in Xishan Prefecture as a "picnic".

Of course, she didn't do any "work".

At this time, they sat around the campfire, talking and laughing.

"By the way, has the business started on King Anding's side?"

"As agreed, we have already started, and the food and money have been given to them."

Zhang Xingbang nodded.

Because after Ye Yu improved the farming tools, he asked the warlock to find those vegetables that were only available in winter from the mountains, so there was corresponding food for four seasons in a row.

After the fruit is also mass-produced, there is no shortage of food.

It is precisely because of this foundation that Ye Yu chose to speed up his pace a little.

"How's the start of construction?"

Ye Yu asked.

"The first batch of minerals has been sent to the secret guard yamen."

"It is said that it is abundant, and there are many different things that the warlocks are working on."

Zhang Xingbang nodded and said, "Maybe you can refine the elixir!" ”

Everyone laughed.

"What about my father?"

"His Royal Highness the First King, I've been playing with a pistol lately."

Zhang Xingbang said, "He felt that the bullets in the pistol were a little small, and the fight was not refreshing enough......

"Hahaha, it's really not refreshing, but it's enough for now, and you can increase the bomb load in the future."

Ye Yu nodded and said, "However, I'm thinking about something." ”

"Your Highness is thinking...... Chariot? ”

Zhang Xingbang looked at Ye Yu's somewhat embarrassed appearance, and suddenly thought of it.

At that time, he was quite shocked to see the chariot carrying artillery.

"Yes, but it's not the main thing."

Ye Yu nodded.

He was wondering if the boiling water technology should be used.

Now the situation of the Southern Dynasties, the technology of boiling water, can indeed begin to be studied.

However, if it is used in large quantities, it may require a lot of materials.

Ye Yu also has his own troubles.

Some people are distressed that there is no way to develop.

And Ye Yu's distress is that he knows that the entire technology tree, if it is random, it will let the Southern Dynasty that he has worked so hard to run collapse directly.

To put it mildly, if he gets some magnets, he can skip boiling water and start working on the power system directly!

"By the way, the Warlock found some strange iron in the ore he sent over."

Zhang Xingbang frowned as he spoke.

He just remembered it.

"What iron?"
