Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 31 Datang Daily
When Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, he immediately called Zhang Xuansu, Yu Zhining, and Kong Yingda, the three prince teachers, and told them that Li Er asked them to be responsible for assisting him in running the newspaper.

After Li Chengqian explained the role of newspapers and newspapers to the three teachers, he asked them to comment on current events in the newspapers.

The three of Kong Yingda agreed on the spot. They can not only publish their own comments on current affairs, but also publish their own articles in newspapers. The most important thing is that they can publish their teaching experience on it.

How could the three of them miss such a good thing that they couldn't find it even with a lantern.

"Prince! Will using my own name cause unnecessary trouble?" Zhang Xuansu asked.

This issue is very important. Some things are published for fear of causing criticism. It is not easy to sign with one's own name, which is easy to attract disputes.

Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said, "Master Zhang, don't worry! You can choose a name, Master. When you don't use your real name in the future, you can just use this name."

"This name is only known to our insiders, and outsiders cannot know it."

The title is equivalent to the pen name of the author.

"It's so good! Very good!" Zhang Xuansu stroked his beard and smiled, Kong Yingda and Yu Zhining also nodded in satisfaction.

"Three masters! I still have things to do! I won't keep three masters." Li Chengqian said.

"Resign, veteran!" The three of Zhang Xuansu hurriedly saluted and retired.

Li Chengqian went to the Chongxian Hall and Chongwen Hall again, and selected a group of straight scholars to act as editors, and the guards of the East Palace acted as reporters, responsible for getting some news back.

Li Chengqian divided the newspaper into five pages. The first page was about current affairs and political discussions, new government orders issued by the imperial court, memorials and discussions of ministers in the court and other political matters.

The second page is about biographies. It mainly compiles the glorious deeds of famous ministers and some good people and good deeds. Everything that meets the standards will be published on this page.

The third page is about literature-related publications, which mainly publish some poems and songs.

On the fourth page is the weather forecast.

The fifth page, which is the last page, is the advertisement page.

Advertisements, advertisements, spread the word! Advertisements will be the main source of income for newspapers in the future. After all, newspapers also need funds to operate.

If you don't have money, what do you use to run a newspaper? You can't let the court support it forever!
After Li Chengqian finished the layout of the newspaper, he also designed a pattern of double dragons playing with pearls on the newspaper.

Everything is ready, just wait for the official release tomorrow to try it out.

After all, this is the first time that a newspaper has been distributed to the general public, so Li Chengqian decided to try distribution in Chang'an County and Wannian County without knowing the effect.

Li Chengqian planned to ask His Majesty Li Er to name the newspaper before the newspaper was released. Li Chengqian gave several newspaper names and entered the palace for Li Er Majesty to choose.

Li Chengqian will not only publish newspapers, but also weekly magazines in the future.

"Is this the name you want me to name the newspaper?" Li Er looked at the paper that Li Chengqian handed over, on which were written several items for naming the newspaper.

Such as Datang 06:30, Datang Evening News, Datang Morning Post, Datang Daily, Datang Evening News, etc.

"These are carefully selected by my ministers. The words are short and simple, and the people will know what they are!" Li Chengqian said.

Li Er nodded, feeling that what Li Chengqian said made sense, Li Er's eyes fell on the paper again.

Li Er picks up a pen and crosses out 06:30 of Datang on the paper. What is 06:30?
Li Er shook his head, and crossed out a few more names. After some screening, Li Er did not hesitate to delineate the four characters of Datang Daily, and wrote the four characters of Datang Daily on the newspaper with his own hand.

"How do you plan to distribute these newspapers?" Li Er asked as he put down his brush.

"I plan to publish the first batch of newspapers in Chang'an County and Wannian County. I don't know how the sales will be yet, so I will temporarily print [-] copies and distribute them every three days to see how the results are." Li Chengqian said.

When starting a newspaper office in the Tang Dynasty, he still didn't know exactly how to operate it, so he could only take some out first, try the situation before making a plan.

This is also the first step in opening up the market.

"Father, besides asking you to write an inscription for the newspaper, I also need to report your glorious deeds, so that your image will take root in the hearts of the people, and your father's philosophy of governing the country will guide His Majesty in the right direction. " Li Chengqian said, this is the main purpose of his visit this time.

How can political journals lack the ruling policy of the imperial leader.

Li Er's eyes lit up after hearing this. If this works, it can help him better suppress the gentry and concentrate the imperial power.

"Okay! This matter is up to you? Is there anything I need to do?" Li Er asked.

"As long as it is to report the deeds of the father's governance of the Tang Dynasty in recent years, and the father's guidance on the future development of the Tang Dynasty and other political policies." Li Chengqian said.

Li Er thought about it, picked up some representative deeds, and then explained and guided the future development direction of Datang.

After the father and son chatted about the newspaper, Li Chengqian got up and left.

He needs to go back and ask someone to polish and typeset His Majesty Li Er's glorious deeds and some future development trends. These must be completed tomorrow.

This glorious and great matter was handed over to Xu Jingzong, the editor of the front page and the assistant secretary of the school.

With a swipe of his pen, Xu Jingzong wrote the glorious deeds of His Majesty Li Er vividly, and flattered the leader fiercely. In the front page, apart from praising His Majesty Li Er, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Xu Jingzong did not leave any trace I flattered the prince.

The big leader's flattery is to be flattered, and the small leader's flattery is also to be flattered, let alone the future big leader.

The typesetting of the newspaper was completed! The printing team was asked to rush to work overnight, and [-] copies of the newspaper were printed before dawn.

"Selling newspapers! Selling newspapers! Datang Daily pays three pennies, home travel, life and entertainment, everything you need, and you can know everything about the world without going out..."

In the early morning of the next day, among the various squares and markets in Chang'an, one after another small figures could be seen hawking on the streets of each square.

Everyone was curious about what this newspaper was! So, driven by curiosity, someone bought the first newspaper.

Seeing someone taking the lead, more and more people will follow suit and buy newspapers.

The headlines of the newspaper are naturally the important speeches of the leaders of Datang, as well as the future development plan of Datang, as well as the political program, and the release of some political information such as Datang's development policies.

In addition to these, there is also Qin Tianjian who released the weather forecast for the last two days to escort people who travel.

On the literature section, some poems and songs of famous scholars and scholars were published.
