Chapter 304 Li Song's Method
"Oh?" Wei Renshi was surprised, not knowing what Li Song would do. So he saluted and said, "Please let Your Highness make it clear!"
Li Song asked, "In Wei County, there are printing workshops in Chongwen Museum, as well as printing craftsmen and movable type. If you are alone in your own name, you will be able to make one or two newspapers every day, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
When Wei Renshi heard this, he immediately thought of Li Song's idea.
only……
"Your Highness, the main thing about this newspaper is the content. If it is only Chang'an and the surrounding areas, the content is not difficult to collect and organize. It is naturally not difficult to let the teacher do it." Wei Renshi said: "However, I will make one or two newspapers a day and only send them to you for your review. If this move is heard by Your Majesty, will Your Majesty be more careful?"
Li Song nodded and said, "Gou also has this worry. However, Gou took it over to teach his father to see it. Then he said that after listening to what he said, Gu felt that he could know the world without leaving home, which was very novel, so he specially asked you to make a try. Of course, only you and Gu knew about this. After reading the newspaper, Gu would burn it in front of his father."
"This..." Wei Renshi hesitated for a moment.
"My father was actually a little moved about this matter, but hesitated because he was afraid of attracting opposition from the ministers and being exploited by the vassal states. If only this was the case, and there was no external news, and Gu did not slow down his father, he would not have studied it in depth." Li Song said again: "If so, Gu will take it to his father for a few days, so that his father will personally experience its benefits. He does not have to go out or ask the court officials, and then he will learn about the extremely surrounding things around Chang'an from that. After his father personally understands his benefits, he can weigh it. At that time, Gu will ask for a daily report and his father will agree."
"Have you thought about it?" Wei Renshi said: "If this method is used by someone who is interested, then your highness may be criticized and said that your highness will collect the affairs of the world in private. Especially at the moment, Your Majesty is not in good health. If someone slanders in front of Your Majesty, Your Majesty may not have thought too much."
Li Song thought for a while and said, "Wei Countyzi said it well. Gu's father knew best. However, Gu thought that his father would not do this. At that time, when he heard him talk about the newspaper to Gu that day, he praised the matter very much, and admitted that this was a good way to avoid being deceived by court officials. Especially, if the government orders were published there and the people of the world saw it, the people would know that the court's original intention was good, and the blame would only blame those who did not follow the court's policies.
Orders are executed, or they are added to the government orders, instead of blamed the court. The court can also use this to see which officials did it in accordance with the government orders and who violated the government orders. Secondly, he also said that if Gu ascended the throne and wanted to do this, he must first set a foundation among the court officials. On the one hand, most court officials opposed it, or waited for the sixteen guards to recover before implementing it. Therefore, Gu felt that his father actually wanted to see the newspaper."
Wei Renshi was very determined when he heard Li Song's idea. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was not impossible to try it. So he nodded and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is wise! I must make a newspaper with my heart and present it to you every day! However, if it is just one sheet per day, there is no need to print it. I just need to ask someone to write it by hand."
Li Song shook his head and said, "Since you have to make a newspaper, you will eventually print it. Weixianzi simply printed it from the beginning."
"Then you see it is not only Your Highness and the minister." Wei Renshi said.
Li Song smiled and said, "It's good to use the printing workshop in Chongwen Museum to get rid of the trouble. It's good to let them do this thing earlier. Even my father would not allow it, but I have to make it even if I am alone. If Wei County needs help, it's OK, but it's better to choose those who are stern, so don't let the news leak out, and the courtiers will know it first."
Wei Ren gave a tribute and said, "Don't worry, your highness, I will not be able to do so!"
It was a pity that I felt after saying that.
Li Song should have become the leader of the revival, but unfortunately, he only had one year left to live, and even though he came from later generations, he really had no way to cure him.
Fortunately, when he was young, Li Chun was originally a person with the ambition to revive the Tang Dynasty. With Wei Renshi's guidance, he now knows a lot of new ideas and affairs.
"Your Highness, then I will leave and go prepare." Wei Ren said with a bow.
Li Song nodded and said, "Okay! I am waiting for Wei County to deliver the newspaper!"
Wei Renshi came out of the Eastern Palace and immediately went home directly, preparing to start the first trial issue of the "Da Tang Daily Chang'an Edition".
The most important thing about print media is content, and this is even more so now.
At the beginning of trying it, Wei Renshi can prepare the content alone, but if it really starts to continue, once a day, Wei Renshi alone will definitely not be able to do it.
If we can really do it in the future, we must have an editorial department, a group of editors who can truly see through the imperial court's orders, know the people and be loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
This kind of regional newspaper can be made into daily newspapers because its scope is limited and is limited to a central point and its surroundings. The content is relatively easy and the transmission is relatively quick and convenient. One report can be done every day.
But a large-scale, national, and with the current transmission speed, it is estimated that it can only be made into monthly magazines.
In the future, it seems that it can be combined into daily, weekly, and monthly based on the scope of its content.
So, I have to find some pens to help him write the content together.
There are not many people around him who are firm and reliable and have the ability to write articles. Lin Sumian is one. He recommended him before. Gong Tingzhi, who helped Wei Renshi's industry, can also be counted as one, and Li Shenzhi, who is recommended by Han Yu, can also be counted as one.
But there is nothing next to it.
No, there is also something to do!
Liu Yuxi, Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan and others are the most literary figures. They dare to say anything and point out any bad policies. They ask them to write some articles under their pen name. Only they know that they wrote them and don’t reveal them. That’s enough!
In this way, the staff in the editorial department can be temporarily set.
And for them, they would definitely agree.
As soon as he thought of this, Wei Renshi immediately sat down, wrote the invitation by himself, and invited Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Liu Yuxi and others to gather together to discuss the matter.
In addition, since we have to prepare for the future and see that the preparations are ahead, we should also decide the organization that publishes newspapers in advance.
Chapter completed!
