I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 185 The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a classic that will be passed down forever!

When Zhu Yunxi returned to the East Palace, Yao Guangxiao had already arrived.

When they met, he stared at Zhu Yunzhen again and again.

"I heard that His Highness Taisun was assassinated again today. Fortunately, he is safe."

Zhu Yunzhen smiled and said: "I'm just a clown, what can happen?"

Yao Guangxiao sternly said: "A son of a thousand gold can't sit down. A gentleman can't stand under a dangerous wall."

"The grandson, with the dignity of the prince, is the most important person in the world, how can he be rash and in danger."

"This must never happen again."

Zhu Yunxi nodded.

Thinking about it now, he still has lingering fears.

From time to time, there would be an assassination or a game of walking on the edge of life and death. Even if he had the biggest heart, he couldn't bear it.

"If I know about it, I will definitely strengthen my defenses in the future and will not venture into danger lightly."

Yao Guangxiao didn't say anything more, but took out a roll of paper from his arms.

"The mimeograph has been manufactured, and the printing effect is very good. This is the first newspaper to be printed. Please have a look at it, Your Highness."

so soon?

Zhu Yunzhen was overjoyed. He took it and looked at it. It turned out to be a printed newspaper.

The above content is mainly a lecture on the court's laws, especially a detailed explanation of the increase in commercial taxes.

It is said that commercial tax will benefit the people and be conducive to long-term development and so on.

In addition, Ouyang Lun was executed for tax evasion and Zhao Mian was involved in corruption.

But there is no mention of Taisun Weifu's private visit, encountering Japanese pirates, etc.

"Overall it's pretty good, but there's a lot to be desired."

Zhu Yunxuan smiled and said: "Why not include Gu Weifu's private visit in the report?"

Yao Guangxiao's pupils dilated, and said: "The grandson's whereabouts involve safety and danger, so we must not make it public at will."

Zhu Yunxuan laughed.

"Before traveling alone, you really need to keep it secret."

"But what happened today will spread throughout the court tomorrow."

"The royal family members, distinguished ministers, civil and military officials will all know it. If you keep it a secret, what's the use?"

Yao Guangjiao was stunned.

It seems to be the truth.

If there is anyone who dares to harm His Highness the Grandson.

That's also in those people.

Ordinary people, even if they really have this idea in their hearts, they can't do it.

What's the use of keeping it a secret from them?
"The poor monk knows, the poor monk will make people change."

"Ok!"

Zhu Yunxi said again: "Also, your reports are too rigid and serious, not lively enough."

"Like a title, you should write like this."

He picked up his pen and started writing.

"Explosion! The grandson paid a private visit incognito, and the consort was executed illegally!"

"Surprise! The grandson was assassinated, and the Japanese pirates actually intended to sneak into Beijing."

"Many imperial court officials and concubines worked hand in hand, smuggled commercial goods, and hid Japanese pirates."

"The Minister of Household Affairs secretly accepted bribes, and the grandson made a private investigation to find out!"

"The imperial court changed the business tax, and the common people benefited immensely!"

"Another group of officials have been imprisoned collectively. The government's determination to fight corruption will never waver!"

"The issuance of the first batch of treasury bonds triggered a panic buying boom!"

……

Zhu Yunxun slightly changed the title of each report.

He also explained how to format it, how to report it, and what the writing style should be.

To put it bluntly, the first thing to do when publishing a new newspaper is to attract the attention of ordinary people.

Make them interested and enjoy watching.

The People's Daily can play a role in publicity only if the common people are happy to hear and see it, and will spend money to buy it.

Easy to understand, the most important thing.

Although the spring snow is beautiful, what's the use if the lower-class people don't know how to appreciate it?

Newspapers and periodicals are published to allow more people to read more.

The average educational level of later generations is much higher than that of Daming today.

The one with the highest click-through rate is always the headline-style headline.

Although after reading it, many people have to curse.

But if you can't stand it, the most people click on it!

In today's Ming Dynasty, the average educational level of the common people is even lower.

Many people may not be able to read it and need others to read it to them.

Of course, the more plain and simple the better.

"Do you want to publish the news about the Japanese pirates?"

Yao Guangxiao asked with some puzzlement.

In his opinion, reporting on the Japanese pirates will inevitably lead to panic.

It is better to keep it a secret and just ask Jin Yiwei to investigate secretly.

"Report, report vigorously."

Zhu Yunxi's thoughts are completely different.

"When the imperial court pursued the wanted criminals, how often did they hide it from the common people? A few Japanese pirates entered our Daming, why didn't they report it?"

"If you want to save the common people, let everyone hunt them together so that the Japanese pirates have nowhere to follow."

Yao Guangxiao's eyes lit up.

"That's a good idea."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the newspaper again, and said: "In addition, we also need to set up an anti-corruption column to report how the imperial court punishes corrupt officials, so as to deter young people and inspire people."

Yao Guangxiao nodded repeatedly.

Before he started this newspaper, he had thought a lot about it.

But when His Highness Taisun said this, he realized that he had missed too many things.

For a moment, I suddenly felt like I was being hit hard.

I always thought that I was so smart that no one in the world could match, but now that I think about it, it's more like a joke.

Compared with Taisun, the difference is a bit too far.

Of course he didn't know that Zhu Yunzhen directly moved things from later generations over without thinking at all.

Compared to him working behind closed doors and thinking hard, it's not the same thing at all.

"There are two other things. One is to write serialized novels and publish them in newspapers and periodicals as supplements to attract people to watch."

As he spoke, he looked up and found Yao Guangxiao sitting there in a daze.

Seeing Zhu Yunxuan looking over, he slapped his bald head and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, this is a clever plan. Common people like to talk about these rumors most. Once published in newspapers, they will definitely rush to buy them."

"As for writing novels." Yao Guangxiao pondered: "It's not difficult, but it needs to be elegant yet interesting, and it must be able to make people talk about it."

"The poor monk thinks that instead of asking someone to write a new one, it is better to write what is already there."

"In recent years, there has been a man named Luo Guanzhong who has written novels such as "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Biography of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", "Biography of the History of the Remnant Tang and Five Dynasties", and "San Sui Pingyao Biography."

"The poor monk was lucky enough to read it and thought it was pretty good."

"People like weirdness and absurdity the most, why not publish "San Sui Ping Yao Zhuan"?"

A novel by Luo Guanzhong?

right.

Luo Guanzhong seems to have lived at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunxuan doesn't remember the exact date of his life, but only has a vague impression.

"Gu also heard about this person, why, has he come to Yingtian?"

A strange color flashed across Yao Guangxiao's eyes.

He didn't expect that His Royal Highness had heard of Luo Guanzhong.

Although Luo Guanzhong would be famous all over the world in later generations, at this time, his fame was not very great.

After all, writing novels at this time, in the eyes of most scholars, was something only lower-class people did.

Only down-and-out literati who failed in the imperial examinations, failed to win the imperial examination, and failed to become officials would write novels to entertain themselves.

The poems are top-grade, and the articles are eternal.

Novel, vulgar.

The social status of people like Luo Guanzhong is even far lower than that of later generations of Internet writers.

Noble literati like Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng didn't even bother to look at him.

Unexpectedly, Taisun knew his name.

"That's not true." Yao Guangxiao shook his head and said, "This man passed away a few years ago."

Zhu Yunxuan sighed.

It turns out that Lao Luo is no longer there.

"The story of the Three Kingdoms is the most widely circulated and the people hear it the most, but there are various versions with different contents."

"I think his "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the best, so I'll choose this one for publication."

Zhu Yunxuan paused and then said: "If the name is slightly changed, it will be called "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"."

There is no doubt that among Lao Luo's books, the one with the greatest potential to become a popular book is definitely "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

It's just that everyone's preferences are different, and you may not be able to tell it when you are in the game. That's why Yao Guangxiao recommended "San Sui Ping Yao Zhuan".

"That's fine!" Yao Guangxiao said, "The poor monk also likes his "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" the most, but he is worried that the foolish people in the countryside will not like it. Two stories about the Three Kingdoms have been spread too much and are not novel enough."

Zhu Yunxuan laughed loudly and said: "Old wine is the most fragrant. Classics will be passed down forever."

Yao Guangxiao stroked his beard, as if realizing something.

"There is a second thing!"
