The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 473 I found the right person (second update)

"Mother, auntie. Do you have anything else to do? If there is nothing else, I will let Ruxue take you around. I still have some things to do here, so it is not convenient to accompany you any longer. Ruxue Ruxue... "

When Li Yin spoke, he wanted to call Ruxue in. After he said this, the two felt that it would be better to raise the matter quickly.

So Empress Changsun immediately said:

"Actually, we still have one thing to do here today. I want to ask for your opinion."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

He thought to himself, why not ask Li Shimin himself to figure out a solution?But come here to seek your own opinion?
Could it be that Li Shimin has nothing to do, or that all civil and military officials are idiots?
I'm afraid this is the kind of person.

But since Empress Changsun has spoken, let's hear what she means.

So Li Yin asked: "What's the specific thing? Let you come out of the palace and come here specially?"

The two looked at each other.

Afterwards, Empress Changsun said.

"It's like this. Whenever His Majesty makes a decree to the grassroots, it cannot be implemented very well. Take the Shandong Dashui last time as an example. Your Majesty allocated a certain amount of money and food to the grassroots.

But the officials at the bottom seem to have misunderstood what His Majesty meant.Certain funds are being spent where they should not be.

Recently, after a thorough investigation by the officials sent by His Majesty, it became clear that some of the funds were not in place.

Because of some things before, the people were dissatisfied everywhere. His Majesty was furious about this and punished many people. "

Concubine Yang went on to say:
"It is said that Changsun Wuji was also found to be yin and yang. He did not sincerely try to control the water. The intelligence from the bottom up also failed to be implemented! Some officials even took advantage of loopholes to try to evade the court's investigation.

And some officials even said that there was ambiguity, but refused to be punished, which made people very uncomfortable.

His Majesty attempted to resolve this issue at court this morning.None of the civil and military officials came up with an excellent plan.So my sister and I talked to His Majesty that maybe you can help.So here we are! "

When he heard it, it turned out to be like this.

This Li Shimin is also thinking of the people.

What they said was also a drawback of ancient times.

Disadvantages that have not been realized since ancient times.

It's not that there is no way, but the ancients couldn't think of a better way.

Because some methods could not be used in ancient times, but after having him, everything becomes different.

Ever since, he thought of newspapers, which are similar to fiction periodicals.

Why not promote it?
Newspapers are the best way to unify ideas from top to bottom.

Everyone has a copy of the newspaper, learn the top-down governance spirit of the imperial court, and use his punctuation marks.

In this way, no one will misunderstand the meaning.Therefore, the execution efficiency has been improved several times.

In this way, the Tang Dynasty will only become more prosperous and powerful.

So he said, "You've got the right guy. I just have one thing that can solve this problem."

As soon as he said that, the faces of the two women instantly turned joyful.

At the same time, Empress Changsun asked:
"What is the solution? Can it solve such troubles for His Majesty?"

At this time, Li Yin took out the novel periodical and handed it to Changsun Empress Dao.

"What do you think of this novel journal?"

Empress Zhangsun was puzzled. Did she want to read a novel and divert her attention?
"It's a good thing, but can this really solve the troubles from the top down?"

He smiled.

"Yes, it must be! However, his name has changed, and it is no longer a fiction periodical, which seems so informal. I gave it a new name called a newspaper."

"What is a newspaper? It is the carrier of reports. It can be correct propaganda. It can be the implementation of policies, and it can be some common sense!"

The two asked again: "Then this newspaper. How to operate it?"

"Six newspapers are announced every month. Every five days, and officials in various places are ordered to enforce it. Match the population. A total of 500 million newspapers are issued. On the newspaper. Write his political views on it. It is even possible to record upcoming events and major events in the future, or things that make people happy. For example, the victory of the frontier, or the creation of the Daming Palace, or the endowment of certain days and special days To celebrate? Wait, wait, wait."

He said a lot about the benefits of newspapers.

Newspapers are printed publications that are regularly distributed to the public, mainly publishing news and current affairs reviews.It is an important carrier of mass communication and has the function of reflecting and guiding public opinion.

The latter is the most important function.

His words shocked the two of them, it turns out that the newspaper has such a great effect!At the same time, a lot of confusion followed.

First of all, how much does this newspaper cost?

Also, 500 million copies is not a small amount, and the money needed must be a lot.

How much money does the imperial court allocate to newspapers every year?

And so on and so on, all the problems appeared in front of my eyes.

Although the treasury is gradually filling up now, the money in the treasury cannot be spent indiscriminately.

But if you don't spend it, the matter will not be resolved.

But Li Yin did say it was useful.

No matter what, listen to what he has to say next, and if it doesn't work, let him think of other ways.

So Empress Changsun asked again: "So how much does this newspaper cost?"

"It's hard for me to tell you how much a copy of a newspaper costs, but it's cheaper than periodical novels. If you really want to promote newspapers, then I suggest selling only one penny per copy!"

one article?
What can a penny do?
This made the two of them wonder.

From ancient times to the present, a piece of paper has never been so cheap, and a newspaper with printed words is only sold for a penny?

Is he kidding?
"A newspaper with 500 million copies is only sold for one penny? Then 500 million copies are sold at most..."

Empress Changsun decided to be there, because she didn't know how much the 500 million copies were worth.

Li Yin helped her figure it out.

"Only sell for 5000 taels!"

Concubine Yang and Empress Changsun were completely shocked.

"5000 taels? The cost is more than that?"

Empress Changsun asked again.

Those are two data that do not match at all.

Li Yin said:

"If you want everyone to receive the news, it must be cheap enough, and the 500 taels for selling 5000 million copies is just the labor cost of selling newspapers."

That is to say, they only charge 5000 taels for selling newspapers, and the 5000 taels are only workers’ fees.

"What about the cost? The cost will not be covered by the court, right? After that year, it was a very scary figure."

Yang Fei asked.

On this issue, Li Yin had already had an idea.

So, he was ready to speak his mind.

Next, his words directly refreshed the three views of the two.
