Li Shi looked at Wei Renshi with some surprise.

He seemed to think Wei Renshi had no other way.

Seeing Wei Renshi say this, he asked curiously again: "How is it?"

"Distribution Daily." Wei Renshi replied.

"Daily? What is that?" Li Shi asked inexplicably.

"Daily newspapers are one report every day." Wei Renshi explained: "The things recorded are mostly important news from the previous day or a few days, or other major events within the previous day. Edit these important news and events, objectively and truly record what happened, and comment on them. Or publish other people's manuscripts, compile them into a collection, print them overnight, and sell them in the morning. People can know the situation of the country in recent days, see what government decrees issued by the imperial court, and how these decrees were implemented. Conversely, the king can also see what major events have happened in the country in recent days through the daily newspaper, know the interesting stories in recent days, and obtain some information they need."

"Through this form, the imperial decrees will be quickly known to the people through the daily newspaper, and the people's reactions will be quickly heard from heaven through the daily newspaper. In this way, the daily can bypass all officials and directly contact the court and the people, and be seen by each other. The imperial decrees will no longer be hidden and obscure, and are unknown to the people, so they are deceived by corrupt officials. It also makes the king no longer hide in the palace and do not know what the public opinion is."

After hearing this, Li Shi thought for a while and said, "Listen to Wei Qing's explanation, it seems that he copied the resolution of the court as everyone in various places knows it. But this thing is already there, don't you know that there is a palace gate copy?"

"Your Majesty, the palace gate copy is the court's copying of government orders and affairs in the court to the prefectures and county government offices. It is a copy of the official nature. It is more inclined to convey the government orders between the court and the prefectures and county government offices." Wei Renshi naturally knew the palace gate copy and said to Li Shi: "The daily newspaper I mentioned is mainly for the people and the people, these unofficial people. It not only has content similar to the palace gate copy, but also has many other things. Its reading group is more inclined to the people, which is a way to let the people know what the court has done, what orders it has issued, or what happened in various places. In the daily newspaper, a general narrative method is used, and the more concise text is quickly and Times and places report the recent and valuable facts that have occurred inside and outside the Tang Dynasty. In this way, the imperial decrees can be known by more people through the daily newspapers, and the people can supervise whether officials from all over the country have implemented the imperial orders well. The people's comments, reactions, and opinions on a certain matter can also be seen by His Majesty through the daily newspapers. His Majesty can better understand the public's opinions and brainstorm, rather than be deceived by the court officials. Newspapers can become the eyes and ears of the people, understand the court's policies, understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts and arrangements. Newspapers can also become His Majesty's eyes and ears, understand what major events have happened in the people and what impact they have produced, and collect opinions, suggestions, opinions and situations from the people."

"Your Majesty, with this thing, the imperial decrees can be known to the people of the world. The people will not be deceived by those corrupt officials, and they will also understand the intention of the imperial decrees. You can also supervise the officials under your supervision whether the officials under your jurisdiction will follow the imperial decrees. If you take a step back, even if the local officials do not execute the decrees and harm the people, then the people know that the decrees are good because they have learned the decrees from the daily newspaper, but they will become bad because they do not implement them properly. In this way, even if the people feel resentment, they will only target those bad officials who have not implemented the decrees well, but will not lose the reputation of the imperial decrees in the hearts of the people." Wei Renshi continued: "And the major events that have happened among the people, such as this severe drought in Guanzhong, the king will also see them through articles in the daily newspaper. Naturally, he will pay attention and send people to verify them, and he will not be deceived by some treacherous ministers."

"The world is so great that it is only nine provinces. If someone can publish such daily newspapers in every place, and carry out the affairs of the court, and let the locals write their folk experiences into articles and hand them over to the people who publish the daily newspapers, so that they can also upload local affairs. Then your Majesty only needs to read these newspapers every day and do not leave the house, and you can tell the world's major events."

After hearing this, Li Shi lowered his head thoughtfully for a while, and asked again: "Wei Qing said that it is a good way to listen to it. But, regardless of the rest, just Wei Qing said that this is a daily report. If you want people in the world to see this thing, you will never have to pay one or two copies, or even more than a hundred copies. How can Wei Qing make so many every day?"

Wei Renshi was stunned and said, "Have you forgotten that I have offered the method of printing movable type?"

Li Shi was also stunned, paused, and then said, "Oh, I remembered it."

It seems that movable type printing made the bachelor and prince of Chongwenguan so excited, but it did not make Li Shi care more.

Or maybe Li Shi didn't care about the changes it could bring.

The foolish monarch.

Wei Renshi was even more disdainful.

"The method of printing movable type is enough, as long as the manpower is enough, it is not a problem to print tens of thousands of pieces every day," said Wei Renshi.

Now is not the era when the whole nation can read, and not many people can understand newspapers. Therefore, if there are enough people, enough movable type, and printing at full speed, it can supply the number of newspapers needed in Chang'an and surrounding areas every day. The contents on these newspapers will be seen by people who can read, and will be transmitted by passionate scholars, forming a kind of radiation.

Li Shi said again: "Even if Wei Qing can do so many things every day, then everyone in the world can see, everyone knows, and everyone can observe. Of course, there are talented and brave men who criticize the current ills and supervise the court's actions. However, there must be treacherous people who confuse the public, make kilns and cause trouble, and deliberately misinterpret them, but they are also seen by the people because they are on it, causing the people to be incited."

Wei Renshi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the daily newspaper has limited space, so how can you get any article? All articles that can be published in newspapers are the result of choice. Those who are beneficial to the country should be published; those who are harmful to the country should be abandoned. In this case, why should Your Majesty worry? If Your Majesty is still worried, I suggest Your Majesty can send personnel to the department that edits the newspaper content to supervise."
