God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 338 Datang Daily (first update)
Li Chengqian didn't say what it was, but first said:
"All the decisions made by the five great families, we can use this to expose them! Let people have the right to know, let people know their ugly faces, and through these things, we can also publicize the court's trends, so that the court's decisions can Good execution, let people know that the decisions I make are for them!"

Li Chengqian said so much, the three of them looked like idiots, wondering what was in his hand?
It's nothing more than a piece of paper with some text on it.

Wei Zheng asked suddenly: "His Royal Highness, is it a notice in your hand?"

Notice?In his opinion, probably only notices have this function, right?And the paper is big enough.

Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "No! The notice is too restrictive! It is not conducive to spreading. The thing in my hand is called a newspaper!"

newspaper?None of the three had ever heard of this term.

"What is a newspaper?" Li Shimin asked.

Empress Changsun also showed doubts in her eyes.

Li Chengqian had no choice but to ask first: "Does your majesty know the residence report?"

"Dibao" is also known as "Dichao" (also known as Dichao), and it is also known as "Chaobao", "Tiaobao" and "Miscellaneous Newspaper". All four use the word "bao", which shows that it is used for notification A kind of bulletin news, which is a copy of the news specially used by the court to convey the documents and political information of the government.

"Di Bao" is the earliest newspaper in the world, which can be confirmed from the above situation.Many people in the West believe that the earliest newspaper was the "Daily Journal" created by Julius Caesar of the Roman Empire in 59 BC. It was discontinued.In terms of the age of the newspaper, my country's "Di Bao" appeared around the second century BC in the early Western Han Dynasty, about a century earlier than the "Daily Journal" of the Roman Empire.

"How can the people read the Dibao? It's a political thing!"

Li Shimin mistakenly thought that Di Bao meant newspaper.

Li Chengqian explained with a smile: "The newspaper is not a mansion newspaper. The meaning of the so-called newspaper and Xuan paper is somewhat similar, but the function of this newspaper is to report the world and major events on paper. So that people can read it! It is for ordinary people to read." The imperial court’s reports, in addition to publishing the imperial court’s government affairs, can also release some commercial information, and His Majesty can convey the voice of the imperial court through newspapers and lead public opinion.”

Then he said: "This thing is very powerful! We will print thousands of copies and distribute them to the majority of the people. Every once in a while we will prepare a report to let people know about the world's major events, so that people can distinguish right from wrong .”

Next, Li Chengqian briefly introduced the function of the newspaper, and Li Shimin immediately understood its importance, so his interest greatly increased.

"The newspaper is really a good thing. If it can be implemented, then the five families may have nowhere to go! This education policy can be implemented!"

However, at this time, Empress Changsun said: "If thousands of copies are printed, then the newspaper is not a profitable thing. The price of paper is not low now. Every time it is printed, it will lose some money from the treasury."

"The queen mother is right, but compared to making Datang more prosperous, this loss is also within the controllable range."

Li Chengqian's words are convincing, and he is right. Compared with stability, this little money still needs to be spent.

And then he said: "In the past, the price of paper was very expensive. Let alone [-] newspapers, even [-] newspapers would not be able to withstand the toss! But now the price of paper has dropped to the lowest level, and everything has become more effective. possible!"

Empress Changsun nodded and said, "Gao Ming is right. Stability is more important!"

Li Chengqian did not stop, but went on to say: "The quality of the paper used in newspapers is not high, and more leftovers can be used. We print all the good quality into books, and some of the poor quality become newspapers." the paper used.

And the cost of these papers will be less than one-third of our existing papers!

Also, when people read the newspaper, we can also recycle it and reuse it!The cost is even lower!
Finally, you can also publish some literary things in newspapers, so that everyone can afford good articles. In this way, people's quality will definitely be improved to a certain level! "

His words made Li Shimin and Empress Changsun more and more interested.

Li Shimin said: "In this way, it can be tried directly in Chang'an! I believe it can play a better role. If the effect is good, it will be implemented in various state capitals!"

"Yes! In this way, people's wisdom can be opened up again. This strategy is simply a magic trick!"

Empress Changsun gave the best evaluation of Li Chengqian's strategy.

"But how often should the paper be published?"

Wei Zheng asked at this moment.

Li Chengqian thought for a while and said: "It is best to publish an edition in the first three days!"

With the current strength, it is obviously not easy to print books and publish newspapers at the same time. It is not easy to collect some imperial policies in the early stage.

Empress Changsun asked, "Then what is the name of this newspaper?"

Li Chengqian replied directly: "How about calling this newspaper Datang Daily?"

"It's doable! Then I'll leave it to you to execute!"

"Your Majesty, I can do it, but I need a few more people to assist me!"

After all, Li Chengqian has taken on too many jobs, and each job is very important.

"Who do you think is suitable? You can assign it as you like!"

"My minister thinks that the eldest grandson Shunde is suitable!"

Li Chengqian's idea is unique, since Changsun Shunde is determined to save Changsun Wuji, then this matter is left to him, if he can't do it well, hum!
It's impossible for eldest sun Shunde to play with Li Chengqian.

It was possible to use a knife to kill people and eradicate Changsun Wuji, but unexpectedly let Changsun Shunde destroy it.

At the same time, this guy contradicted himself, as if he was on the same side as Changsun Wuji.

And in history, this guy is lustful and greedy for money, not a good minister!
He doesn't want to have such people by his side in the future, so it's better to let them turn off as soon as possible.

Now it's interesting, no matter how good grandson Shunde is, how can he compare with Li Chengqian, who has more than 1000 years of knowledge?
Next, Li Chengqian was able to crush him casually.

"Okay! Sure! I'll have my grandson Shunde come over and cooperate with you in a while!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

At this time, a reminder came to Li Chengqian's head: Congratulations to the host for carrying out the task of disseminating newspapers!Extra rewards add up to [-]%.

Um?It was thirty percent, and now he has earned it. Now he really wants to know what this extra reward is.

This system is getting more and more interesting!
