Chapter 164 The Role of a Newspaper "Shi Aiqing is alive!" The emperor walked down from the seat lovingly, and even personally stretched out his hand to pull Ke Han up and asked, "Have you walked around in Kyoto this time? Oh, by the way.
, Shi Aiqing is here to crack down on counterfeiting and solve cases, so why bother wandering around? , However, today, I greet the two Aiqings to come and formally invite you, before taking office, take a good rest and see the great rivers and mountains of our Dashun! "
"The emperor has many things to do, but he still goes out of his way to receive the official, which makes him feel flattered!" Ke Han said quickly, "How dare you take up the emperor's precious time?"
The emperor laughed and said: "Don't worry, there is no free lunch in the world, I have conditions!"
Ke Han chuckled. Of course he knew this truth. He felt that the emperor was really funny, so he boldly asked: "But I don't know what the emperor's conditions are. I must not make it difficult for him to be dismissed!"
How could anyone talk to the emperor like this and be so brave? Dongfang Xiao, who was standing aside, seemed a little nervous. He blamed the little county magistrate for being too presumptuous, so he walked forward, raised his fists with his hands in front of his eyebrows, and bowed.
He said to the emperor: "If the emperor needs it, I should go all out and work tirelessly!..."
"Haha!" The emperor waved his hand uncharacteristically, stepped back from the concubines and guards around him, smiled at Ke Han and Dongfang Xiao, and said, "Today, why did I invite you to the back garden instead of the palace? The reason is to be with my two beloved ladies.
We are chatting privately, so Mr. Dongfang, don’t be so serious. I have always been in the main hall, listening to the memorials of civil and military officials. Over the years, I have become tired of their carefully worded, extremely polished, and monotonous memorials.
, Eight-legged essay, it is rare to hear such truth from Shi Aiqing. Regarding external matters, there are nominally many generals and ministers to assist, and there are different versions of fresh news reported every day, but it is also very boring. I know
, they have a grudge against me and are afraid of causing any trouble, so I would like to ask you two dear ladies, how to correct this situation! Or in other words, how to prevent it? "
Dongfang Xiao lost his opinion for a moment and became speechless, standing aside silently.
"Does your Majesty want to hear the truth?" Ke Han asked
Ke Han's words immediately made the two of them feel cold and unfamiliar.
The emperor smiled and said nothing. Although he was a little unhappy, it was still because he had said that he had invited his two beauties out to the back garden just to have a private chat with them. He also emphasized that he should not be too serious.
I can't stand it anymore. When the emperor speaks, he sticks to his words. That's Chrysostom. How can he change it casually?
After a moment of silence, Ke Han also smiled and asked the Holy Spirit a little playfully - "In the Holy Spirit's opinion, is your minister telling the truth or a lie?
According to what the Holy Lord just said, the minister boldly concluded that the Emperor did not believe the memorials of those civil and military officials, but he was very troubled because there was no strong evidence to prove their authenticity!
And when the Holy Spirit had always believed that Kyoto, which was a prosperous and peaceful place, actually had counterfeit money, drugs, and rebels, he was very surprised! And only after the case was successfully solved, did anyone dare to talk about it openly and openly.
Let’s talk about how our Dashun Dynasty was filled with talented people, who took away drugs and counterfeit money from gambling dens in one fell swoop; only some people happily mentioned in memorials the minor officials who solved the case; only some people rushed to enumerate their merits and deeds to win the emperor’s favor.
Rewards and commendations are given in exchange for higher authority and higher interests...
And every time such news should be known to you by the Emperor first, but now, you are the last to know it. Moreover, what you know is always good news, and what people show in front of you is always the most glorious and beautiful news.
Your Majesty, this is a great tragedy of poor information!
Therefore, Xiaguan believes that if the emperor really wants to hear the truth, he should change the one-way notification in the morning and evening to a special media release issued by Shangtong, and jointly build this platform for releasing news. We might as well call it a "newspaper"
, as the name suggests, it is a piece of paper that reports news and publishes notices. In this way, no matter who it is, it is possible to know the events outside at the first time!
Then, Your Majesty will never be the last to know what you should know! Nor will you only see the good news and not the negative impacts. By then, the amount of information will continue to expand, and then Your Majesty will be the last to know.
You can sit on a massive amount of information, make decisions, issue notices, issue decrees, etc. This newspaper is very useful!..."
Ke Han's speech made the emperor quite curious. What kind of "newspaper" could there be? Fortunately, the county magistrate could think of it! No wonder the Minister of Dali Temple strongly recommended these two people, they are both geniuses!
The emperor admired Ke Han's extraordinary ability. His imagination was extremely rich and it was reasonable and applicable. However, he still needed to explain carefully how to operate it. It would be best to let him do it.
With such an idea, the emperor took the initiative and asked: "Shi Aiqing is thoughtful, but I don't know, for now, what we lack most is the information talents you mentioned. How can we operate this?"
Ke Han nodded and continued to introduce - "So, the rise of an industry can drive many aspects to go hand in hand and develop together. How many job opportunities does this create for Dashun?!
First of all, paper manufacturing. When I was working on cases in Kyoto, I also did some investigations. The Jingdong paper factory tended to be paralyzed due to insufficient business volume. Once our newspapers are smoothly discharged in large quantities, it will become the life-long life of the factory.
Customers can save this company
Secondly, printing, the printing in our Dashun Dynasty is still at a low level, how can we not make people feel ashamed? Why is the movable type printing technology of senior Bi Sheng still not used? If this old man knew about it, how would he feel?
?However, I know that it is not because our talents in Dashun are exhausted, but that the resources needed for printing are almost zero.
So, if our newspaper is successful, of course, it must be successful, it will require a large number of printing technicians. It goes without saying that the printing factory is also in the resurrection plan!
The ones mentioned above are technicians, who are in charge of technical activities.
Well, newspapers use text as the main body of propaganda, which requires a large number of text workers, who are mainly responsible for the collection, writing and arrangement of articles. This requires bachelors of letters with writing skills to join
The professional rules we set for them are - tell the truth and do practical things!
In our Dashun Dynasty, there are many talents like these who failed to gain fame. After training, they can find a suitable position for themselves on our newspaper platform. Their sharp words will give people more information reserves.
Therefore, newspapers have given people who have not been able to obtain honors but have acceptable articles a place to use! Restoring their confidence also gives our educational work a new goal. From now on, there will be a new goal in people's consciousness.
A brand new concept. Being an official is not the only ultimate goal of learning. We don’t need to squeeze the single-plank bridge! Therefore, newspapers invigorate people’s minds! This is one of the contributions of newspapers.
Next, there is distribution. The successful printing of newspapers will eventually have to face a broad audience. Therefore, our newspapers set off from Kyoto to various places in Dashun, and someone is needed to provide services for the transportation of newspapers. Therefore, logistics,
Distribution can also be developed as much as possible
Of course, in order to reduce costs, Xiaguan suggested setting up branch printing agencies in various provinces, using the Kyoto master plate as a sample, and spreading it from various post stations to the entire Dashun Dynasty, with movable type typesetting and branch printing in various places.
In this way, information is exchanged and resources are shared in various places, and at the same time, we can also hear different voices, which is conducive to the Dashun court to control the world and reduce decision-making errors. In this way, there will no longer be a situation that everyone knows but the emperor does not know.
The lowest level of embarrassing situation!"
"Ai Qing, it's really a good idea!" After listening to Ke Han's detailed introduction, the emperor applauded. He came to Ke Han again and asked, "How can we set up such an organization dedicated to the operation and maintenance of newspapers?
Are there any difficulties?"
"There are definitely difficulties! It depends on us overcoming them." Ke Han breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "We have the strong backing of the Dashun Imperial Court and the strong support of the Holy One. Everything is going well!"
The emperor chuckled. Faced with a management genius like Ke Han, he actually put aside his status as an emperor and said in a more polite tone than an order: "Shi Aiqing, I have something to discuss. This is the first newspaper of the Dashun Dynasty.
It is up to you to be in charge of publishing, to name it louder, and to have so many staff and other things. It is up to you to consider when to set up this newspaper and when to return to your hometown in Huai County."
Ke Han looked a little embarrassed. At this moment, he had just completed the detection of the counterfeit banknote case and was about to go home. However, he was busy talking to the emperor about the importance of publicity and so on. He even said so much in a pretentious manner.
Wouldn't it be strange if you, an expert, are not retained to help set up a newspaper?
The emperor saw that Ke Han's face seemed to be troubled, so he looked around and asked him with concern: "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Can the imperial doctor come over and take a look?"
The emperor's words reminded Ke Han of Mr. Tang, Xiao Nizi's father. He was a simple and honest man who had nothing to do with the world.
Dongfang Xiaodu and Xiao Nizi already admired each other. He was the first to know, but he had not yet known it to Boss Tang. Fortunately, he was considered a friend, so he couldn't help but feel guilty, and he didn't know what to do.
Seeing that my friend is about to go back to the Western Regions, however, because he can't let go of the girl he likes, and can't open his mouth, he is worried about finding a matchmaker. At the moment, the emperor wants to set up a newspaper agency, and if he wants something from himself, he might as well come and bother him first.
He, asking him to come forward to take care of his friend's affairs, can be regarded as worthy of Dongfang Xiao's help to him!
Thinking of this, he said: "Your Majesty's love deeply moved me. Although I have been away from home for several months and I am homesick, I can't compete with the brotherhood that I have spent day and night with over the past few days. I am extremely reluctant to leave and always want to help my friends."
I wanted to do something, but I was clumsy and was afraid of ruining my brother's good deeds, so I boldly asked the emperor for help in order to satisfy my debt to my subordinates."
After hearing this, the emperor felt relieved and said with a smile: "Shi Aiqing, you actually told me about the terms?"
