Chapter 50 – First Newspaper

Li Yin agreed with Qinghe, but she did not know now. However, even though Li Shimin had this plan now, he had yet to make up his mind. Li Yin still had time to go to Xu Tuliang.

Before one thing was settled, Su Morer brought in another piece of news that the first draft of the newspaper had been written, and waited for Li Yin to review it.

With the support of Li Shimin, the work of the newspaper office was much easier. Among them, the first wave of internal policy news of the imperial palace was sent to the newspaper offices, and the first wave of information gathered from the people also existed. After being reviewed and written by the editor, the first draft of the newspaper was formed.

Straight away going to the newspaper office, Wang Zheng placed the newspaper in front of Li Yin, "Your Majesty, please read!"

Li Yin took over the newspaper, and the layout of the newspapers in the prosperous Tang Dynasty was somewhat similar to modern newspapers. This was the result of training Li Yin with modern knowledge. After all, he had seen a pig running, but a dozen newspaper editors had yet to see him pass.

According to Li Yin's design, the front and back of the Shengtang Commercial Daily were divided into four pages, each page occupying a quarter. Li Yin's first page was of course to keep Li Shimin's face, and this was all about the dynamics of the court, and a second page about community livelihood information, written about some people's real-life issues and people's views on the issue and their reactions to the court. The third page is about current social events, such as fires, murders, traffic accidents, etc., and the fourth page is the focus of the Li Yin newspaper creation. It was full of commercial information and advertising. Advertisements of soft shampoo, apricot blossom wine, and Fairy Sanhua perfume fill the entire page.

Li Yin took a quick look and felt that there was no problem, "Now let the workshop print a copy, and I will leave it to the emperor to take a look!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Zheng said excitedly, the author's name was written under the information, and if he could get into the emperor's eyes, it was because there was smoke from the ancestral grave.

Wang Zheng picked up the newspaper and went to the printing workshop. Li Yin said to Su Mo'er who was standing next to him: "The emperor promised to give the copper fish talisman to every reporter, which means from now on, the reporter will have official status, as a result, and even the office won't." Dare to touch them casually, this is very beneficial for information gathering, and journalist protection laws are also being discussed and will be coming out soon. I've prepared all these requirements for you, and the rest is up to you to go.

“Don't worry, Your Majesty, Su Mo'er will never disappoint His Majesty's expectations. Now I have chosen over fifty smart people. These people were all workshop servants. I give them hope according to His Majesty's methods. Their Loyalty is very reliable, and their training is also ongoing, but His Majesty's book is so strange, I still don't understand the meaning of some words and words? Su Moer wrote a copy of "The Spy" "Self-cultivation" issued.

For his own intelligence system, Li Yin racked his brain even importing methods of spying training in the 20th century. At the same time, he also bought many books in traditional Mandarin, but some words were still elusive to Su Moer. , "Let me see, this is ..." Utilizing the printing gap, Li Yin began to explain this technique to Su Mo'er whom she did not understand well. Currently, Li Yin did not realize that the input of such advanced knowledge would bring her intelligence system into a monster that horrified many.

At the printing workshop, Wang Zheng picked up the newspaper and started making printing plates. He also worked in a printing workshop for some time before, but movable type printing fell far behind the tools here. The stylist compares the newspaper, and within half an hour, a printing plate of the newspaper is produced.

"Editor Wang, you've got complete information, what kind of material do you think this movable type is made of?" ask a printing worker.

Wang Zheng glanced at the neat printing plate with satisfaction, and said: “During the training, I asked His Majesty that this type of move came from a country called Huaxia, called the tin type, it is, and this is a very common technology used there. ”

“The country is amazing. After this printing plate is made, roll and newspaper will come out!” As the printer was talking, he put up a printing plate, took out a roller and rolled it, and a newspaper emitted the scent of freshly baked ink.

When Wang Zheng returned, Su Morer was bowing to listen to what Li Yin had said. Both are as intimate as a married couple raising eyebrows. "Ehem!" Standing before the door, Wang Zheng pretended to cough.

"Okay, Your Majesty!" Wang Zheng handed the newspaper to Li Yin.

“Yeah, the effect is good! You wait for my news, the emperor agrees, and you will print in large quantities. Tomorrow, every family of palace officials will send one copy, and all the shops and museums of literature will send it. First, let them read it for free for a month!”

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is only a month of free time, isn't it too detrimental!" wang Zheng said.

Li Yin said: “This is called what you want to take first, you have to give it first. When their lives are inseparable from newspapers, that's when we make money.”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Wang Zheng suddenly realized.

He also explained some precautions to Su Morer and Wang Zheng. Li Yin picked up the newspaper and drove Honghaier to Taiji Palace. Recently, he had been in and out of the palace a lot, and his face was no stranger. The guards at the gate also paid their respects upon seeing her. Respect, in their eyes, being able to enter and exit the palace often showed that the emperor was very concerned about Li Yin.

“Nah, the article about Tuyuhun attacking and harassing the border people of Tang Dynasty is well written. Seeing this information will definitely make the people of Tang Dynasty feel the same hatred, and this “Law of Equivalent Field, I have asked to promote it, but the effect is not good. Why worry that ordinary people don't know! Li Shimin was very satisfied after reading the first page.

"What! Why was there such a thing that the three men from the commoners' families were obliged to do forced labor? You added a sentence at the end of this article, saying that I ordered the local county magistrate to investigate the matter strictly!” Looking at the second page, Li Shimin said angrily.

After being angry for a while, Li Shimin looked at the other two pages, and turned to Li Yin: “Yin'er, can the fourth page be shortened a little and write more other things, he said, why is it all about trading these commodities! ”

“Dad, my son runs a commercial newspaper, so I have to publish some product information, and my son cannot make money and sell it. In addition, the newspaper has not been recognized by officials and the public. Once they can't live without a newspaper, my son just expands the page, makes eight pages in one newspaper issue, then gives dad six pages, okay? Li Min poured out his bitterness.

Li Shimin nodded and said, “Well, I embarrassed you too. What price do you plan to sell this newspaper for?”

"I'm reporting to my dad, three pennies!"

“The price is very cheap! Take a look, my father will count the number of officials in Chang'an tomorrow. From now on, your newspaper office will send copies to these officials every day. The money will be spent from the state treasury. At best, it was only a matter of tens of dollars. Li Shimin laughed.

Another windfall, even though there were only a few tens of cents, no matter how small the mosquito was, it was a dish, Li Yin said: "Thank you, Dad!
