Great Tang princess

Chapter 133 Reporter's Job
Princess Xuancheng has a different opinion on this: "Chen'er, I don't think the seven-day period is appropriate."

"Why is this?" Li Yuechen raised his head and asked.

"According to what you said, this newspaper is to be delivered to various states and counties, and the distance is so long that it is necessary to use post stations. If it is issued every seven days, it must be delivered at an expedited speed of [-] miles. Whether it is people or horses , have to run to death."

When Li Yuechen thought about it, it was indeed the truth: "It makes sense, what does sister mean?"

"I think it can be once every half a month," Princess Xuancheng thought for a while, "every first day of the lunar new year, and one issue on the fifteenth day, it should be fine."

Hearing her words, Li Yuechen thought about it seriously.

This is also a problem. At present, there is not so much money to open sites in various states and counties, so they can only rely on people to transport a large number of newspapers. It can be said that the transmission of information is still very troublesome.

If you want to improve your communication level, at least you have to wait until the hot air balloon is made, which is much faster than a horse.

At that time, newspaper offices and sites can be established in various state capitals, not only can quickly publish newspapers, but may also form an intelligence network...

Thinking of this, Li Yuechen was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head violently, why did he suddenly think of this aspect.

This princess doesn't want to be a spy chief, it must be the father's fault, it's all the emperor technique he taught, which made her thinking start to become crooked!

"That's good, I will follow my sister's wishes," Li Yuechen nodded.

What Princess Xuancheng said is very reasonable, so this opinion should be adopted.

It’s just starting now, maybe every half a month, and when the communication level and other aspects of technology improve in the future, you can add additional issues.

……

The next day, Li Yuechen finished practicing in the morning, took a bath, and ran to the Hall of Renshou.

"Grandpa, would you like to give me a place in the imperial city as a newspaper office?" Li Yuechen asked while lying on the table.

Wu Zetian next to him stopped writing: "The imperial city is full now, how can there be room for you?"

Li Zhi also looked embarrassed: "Yes, there are all important institutions of the imperial court in the imperial city, so I can't just kick one out at will, right?"

Hearing the two people's answers, Li Yuechen rolled down from the table and lay on the ground with a look of embarrassment: "Then where is the newspaper office?"

"This girl! Standing is like sitting! Hurry up!" Wu Zetian taught her a lesson.

"No, it's comfortable to lie down." Li Yuechen not only didn't get up, but also lay on his side, propping his head with his hands and smiling.

Fortunately, she usually knew the seriousness, and Wu Zetian didn't follow up on the lesson, so she could only sigh and let her go.

Li Zhi suddenly thought of something, and stopped the health ball in his hand: "Speaking of which, there is still a place in front of the Hongwen Museum, right?"

"Yes, next door is Menxia Province." Wu Zetian's tone was a bit eccentric, "Does Your Majesty plan to add institutions at will in the previous dynasty?"

"Why not?" Li Zhi turned his head with a smile on his face, "Anyway, this newspaper is also a royal institution, so it's fine to set it up in the previous dynasty."

As soon as these words came out, even Li Yuechen couldn't help raising his head, and looked at Li Zhi with admiration.

It has to be said that since she came to this era and saw these historical figures with her own eyes, it was Li Zhi who shocked her the most.

In the past, various TV dramas played him as a giant baby who relied on his wife for everything, but after seeing it with his own eyes, Li Yuechen discovered that this old man's thinking can be said to be quite avant-garde.

If he was born in the future, he must be able to achieve a great career!

Although he didn't know what happened, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel a little flustered when his daughter looked at him with adoring eyes, and his expression became even more unpredictable.

……

With the emperor's permission, the location of Datang Daily's newspaper office was fixed in the imperial palace, just in front of the Hongwen Museum, and next door was Menxia Province.

It is conceivable that in the future, many ministers will run here without any problems.

The ministers of this period almost all had the same pursuit in life - leaving a name in history!
And if this newspaper office is done well in the future, their reputation can be passed down from generation to generation among the people and passed down forever.

It's just that neither Li Zhi nor Li Yuechen intends to make a big fuss about this matter, anyway, they will naturally understand it when the time comes.

After having dinner with my parents at the Hall of Renshou at noon, I took a carriage directly out of the palace and went to Jixianfang.

Seeing the princess coming, Laicao quickly came out to salute: "I don't know if Your Highness is here today, what is your order?"

While walking in, Li Yuechen nodded: "Well, your way is wild enough, find me some people to come over and act as reporters."

After entering the room, after Li Yuechen sat down, Lai Cao hurriedly served a cup of yogurt: "May I ask Your Highness, what kind of work is this 'reporter' in charge of?"

"To put it simply, it's just wandering around the market, collecting some gossip information." Li Yuechen thought for a while, "By the way, it doesn't matter if you don't have a deep culture, but you must be able to read and write. When the time comes..."

Li Yuechen sat on a chair and roughly explained to him what the reporter was mainly responsible for.

The current reporters don't need to do interviews, they just need to be responsible for recording some gossip or market gossip.

As for the main page, it is used to publish some imperial policies and so on. Naturally, the editor-in-chief Princess Yiyang and the editor Shangguan Wan'er will do it.

Hearing her explanation, Laicao suddenly said: "Your Highness, you can do it like a dog. Although the culture is not high, you can read and write."

"You only have one son, right?" Li Yuechen thought for a while, "This matter requires at least a dozen people. Dongdu is so big, one person is not enough."

Laicao put on a flattering smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I don't dare to say anything else, just leave this matter to the villain!"

"En!" Li Yuechen nodded, "I still trust you in this respect."

Then I chatted with him about what kind of qualities a reporter needs, what kind of news should be collected, etc...

In the afternoon, he got up and left, preparing to return to the palace.

Before leaving, he saw Gouzi Wu running out of the house with a gun.

He was sweating profusely and saluted Li Yuechen: "I have seen Your Highness."

"Excuse me." Li Yuechen looked at the wooden stick in his hand, "Why do you like practicing martial arts recently?"

Wu Gouzi wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I... want to protect His Highness in the future."

"protect me?"

Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows and gave him a big up and down.

There is a little muscle on the still thin body, probably because the food has been good recently, and it is not as thin as it used to be.

But compared to Liu Huang, who is the same age as him, who has lived a good life since childhood, there is still a big gap.

After slightly nodding his head, Li Yuechen didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm: "Then you have to work hard."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and turned away with Fu.

Wu Gouzi saluted: "Respectfully, Your Highness!"

At the same time, I thought in my heart, rest assured, Your Highness, I will work hard.

On the other side, Li Yuechen, who had already gotten into the carriage, looked down at his hands, clenched his fists hard, and there was a sound of "crack, blah, blah".

She knew very well in her heart that if her body continued to develop like this, in a few more years, there might not be many people in the world who could beat her.

Last year, when she was seven years old, she already had the strength no less than that of an adult. Now that she is eight years old, she can feel that her strength is much stronger than last year.

It can be said that most ordinary adults now have no chance of winning if they wrestle with her.

Li Yuechen has also done experiments herself, and now she can do dozens of handstands with one hand and five fingers.

Both hands are fine, not to mention movements like human flags, which are trivial to her.

Li Yuechen himself speculated that in a few years, he should be able to do the action of pinching a person's neck with one hand and lifting him up like in the movie.

It's a pity that there is no Olympic Games in this era, otherwise, I guess it should be no problem to become a weightlifting champion by myself.

……

The next day, Li Yuechen didn't have to go to class. After eating at noon, he took Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Yiyang to try to write an article that would be published in the newspaper in the future.

To be honest, both of them have good talents, but this article...

"Sister, this article is too obscure, it's almost like a parallel essay." Li Yuechen shook his head, "The audience of the newspaper is people from all over the world, and most of them are not well-educated, so it's better to keep the article as plain as possible."

In fact, the vernacular of this era is not as white as the future, but it is indeed a bit too much to write in parallel.

Not to mention those who are illiterate, it means that people who hold official positions in the court cannot understand it if their education level is slightly lower.

After all, the articles of this era pay too much attention to the so-called citations, so that the prerequisite for understanding an article is to read enough.

You have to read enough various classics to understand what an article is trying to say.

Therefore, articles in newspapers should be whiter, so that most people can understand them as much as possible.

At the same time, the articles in newspapers should be clearer. If you meet a caring person, you might be able to learn how to read.

Princess Yiyang understood what she meant, and nodded: "Okay, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

"Ok!"

Li Yuechen nodded: "Sister, look at this. At the beginning, it should not be said that Princess Taiping is studying grain production, but it should be said that Princess Taiping, under the leadership of the Emperor and Queen of Heaven, started to study grain production..."

Hearing her explanation, Princess Yiyang looked helpless.

That's why this younger sister has been especially liked by her parents since she was a child. May I ask which parent doesn't like this kind of daughter?
"Your Highness, the sage wouldn't like such obvious flattery, right?" Shangguan Wan'er asked.

"Nonsense, it's not flattery, it's the truth!" Li Yuechen said with a serious face, "The publication of the newspaper is ultimately to let the people know the wisdom of the Emperor and Empress, so this article must specify the topic..."

After hearing her explanation, Princess Yiyang nodded in understanding.

Although Shangguan Wan'er was exceptionally intelligent, after all, at her age, a nine-year-old girl couldn't think things through so complicatedly, and she still had some puzzled expressions on her face.

But it doesn't matter, she only needs to be responsible for writing articles according to the requirements now, and she can publish poems in newspapers in the future.

When you reach a certain age and understand things, you can be promoted to become editor-in-chief.

……

The next day, Li Yuechen got up early, took his two older sisters and Shangguan Wan'er to practice yoga, and had breakfast as usual.

Just about to go out to practice, Xiao He reminded: "Your Highness, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's time to go to chant sutras."

"Oh."

Li Yuechen agreed, put on his Taoist robe and went to chant scriptures.

It doesn't matter whether you listen to the news on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, Shuowang Chao generally doesn't discuss matters, it's just work reports.

Officials from all over the capital will come to court on these two days every month, listen to the work report of their superiors, and think about how they should cooperate in the next half month.

To put it bluntly, it's just a formality, the Zhenguan Hall is only that big, and they don't need to go in.

Most of the petty officials were listening outside, and they couldn't even see what the emperor looked like from a little distance.

Li Yuechen went to the Taoist temple to recite scriptures, and he recited all morning.

While chanting sutras, I thought, I should wear women's clothes for the banquet tonight.

If you wear men's clothes, as an official, you can't continue to eat half of the emperor's dance.

But wearing women's clothes means participating as a princess. When the emperor and officials go down to play disco, I can chat with my mother while continuing to eat.

The main reason is that the appetite has increased a lot now, and Li Yuechen doesn't want to starve himself.

At the same time, consider whether it is time to consider opening a farm in the future.

While being able to satisfy oneself, opening a farm can also lower the price of meat, which is essentially a good thing.

After reading the scriptures, Li Yuechen returned to Anfu Hall, and immediately called Xiao He over to help him braid her hair after dinner.

Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Yiyang were still trying to write articles with as white a style as possible.

Princess Xuancheng flipped through the scriptures, trying to find out if there were any other problems worth calculating.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuechen suddenly felt as if he had really done a lot of things invisibly.

Princess Yiyang could become the editor-in-chief in the future, and Princess Xuancheng might be able to become an official in the imperial court with her mathematical talent.

Shangguan Wan'er doesn't know if she can become a female prime minister in the future. It seems that her arrival has brought about many changes in this era.

While thinking, thinking about the future, how will future generations evaluate this period of history, maybe I can also appear in history books?

Seeing the smile on her face, Xiao He couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, did something good happen?"

"Not really, I just remembered some interesting things." Li Yuechen smiled, "By the way, the bun shouldn't be too high, it's almost fine."

Xiao He agreed without asking any further questions, and continued to help her with her hair. After about half an hour, a bun suitable for a princess was ready.

"Okay, okay, don't use the hairpin for now, I'll get it when I go to the dinner party tonight." Li Yuechen waved his hand.

If you put your hair in a bun now, you can't move your head at will, it's too troublesome.

After changing into the Tin Chai dress, Shangguan Wan'er ran over: "Your Highness doesn't like makeup, why don't you put some Tin Chai on it, it will look better!"
