For Shen Yi, the biggest difficulty in editing a newspaper is that he has to write a lot of words. After all, when he was doing academic work in the academy, one article on current policy was only about 5,678,800 words.
Why can't a newspaper have only 10,000 to 20,000 words? This workload is really not small. Even if you leave out the conception stage, copying 10,000 to 20,000 words is still a big workload.
It took Shen Yi about two or three days to officially finalize the draft, and then he spent several more days copying it, before finally finishing the first draft and sending it to Zhao Shilang's house.
Although Zhao Shilang was involved in household affairs, he agreed with Shen Yi after all. He still took the time to meet with Shen Yi and carefully read the manuscript, which took Shen Yi nearly seven days to write.
After reading it about once, Zhao Shilang put the manuscript aside, frowned slightly and said: "The content is novel, but the number of words is too many. If it were used to print the Di newspaper, one edition would probably require dozens of craftsmen to engrave it.
More than half a month is too time-consuming and laborious."
The Di Bao of the past was different from the Di Bao of later generations.
In the past, the sentences in the Di Bao were concise. For example, if the story about the sharp rise in food prices in Jiangdu last year was written in the Di Bao, it would only be a few short sentences.
In April, the Ministry of Revenue sent rice to Jiangdu, and the price of grain in Jiangdu rose sharply. In May, the imperial envoy was sent to investigate and punished more than ten grain merchants, and the price of rice stabilized.
Although what Shen Yi wrote is not in vernacular, it is difficult to print because it contains too much content and totals seven to eight thousand words.
Shen Yi had already thought of this. He lowered his head to Zhao Shilang and said: "Uncle, my nephew once asked in Dongshi Street. Several big printing shops in Dongshi Street already have movable type, although it is not as good as the old ones.
The edition is too cheap, but if you can print an issue in ten days and a half, there won’t be any problems, and with the imperial government’s promotion, this thing can sell at least 100,000 copies, so the cost won’t be too high.”
"Besides..."
Shen Yi lowered his head slightly and said: "Besides, if this thing can become the mouthpiece of the imperial court, it will become another weapon for the imperial court, even more powerful than the Huaihe Navy. How much money does the imperial court invest in the Huaihe Navy a year? Spend some money.
The money in this newspaper is insignificant."
Zhao Shilang frowned slightly. He looked at his junior and said slowly: "Speak as you say. Don't mention the Huaihe Navy to others. If others listen, you might cause trouble."
"You will be an official in the future."
Minister Zhao said earnestly: "The most important thing for an official is to keep your mouth shut, your hands in check, don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't do what you shouldn't do."
"In this way, you can go further in the court."
Since Shen Yi has come into contact with the Emperor, and the Emperor has given him an errand, it means that Shen Yi will most likely enter the imperial court and become an official in the future, even if the examination does not go well.
That's why Zhao Changping taught this younger generation like this.
As for the Huaihe Navy…
In the sixty years since General Zhao led the Huaihe Navy to defeat the Northern Qi army, General Zhao and the Huaihe Navy have become an unshakable presence in the Chen military.
For example, Mr. Zhao, the general of the Zhao family, can even openly challenge Zhang Jian, the prime minister, which shows the Zhao family's status in the court.
The Huaihe Navy has already been suspected of being a big loser, so it is quite sensitive in the court. Elders in the court like Zhao Shilang would not mention the Huaihe Navy casually.
Shen Yi lowered his head and said: "My uncle's teachings, my nephew has memorized them."
Zhao Shilang nodded: "There are no major problems with your manuscript. You can revise it yourself and then send it to the palace. But remember one thing."
Zhao Shilang said slowly: "If someone in the palace asks if you brought it to me, remember not to deny it, but you have to speak more tactfully. You want to say that I helped you check for mistakes, but you can't tell the palace.
I have reviewed the content for you, do you understand?"
Error checking and auditing may sound like they are no different.
But when it comes to the emperor, it's very different.
Error checking, just helping Shen Yi check if there are any errors or omissions,
And if the content is reviewed in advance...
This is an errand assigned by the emperor. The emperor himself has not yet tried it. You, the Minister of Household Affairs, have done it for the emperor first?
Shen Yi had a clear mind and could naturally understand the difference. He nodded quickly and said, "My nephew will take your words to heart."
"Um."
Minister Zhao waved his hand: "Let's go."
"Your master sent another letter yesterday, asking me to tell you that although you have to do your best to run an errand for His Majesty, after completing this errand, you still have to focus on studying, pass the entrance examination, and be named on the gold list in the future.
, is your right path."
"Young people are most likely to be blinded by the utilitarian benefits in front of them. You must never abandon the good and the weak."
Shen Yi handed over his hand again: "Thank you very much, teacher, uncle for your teachings."
After Shen Yi bowed his head and thanked him, he left Zhao Shilang's house with his manuscript. Because it was already getting late, Shen Yi did not rush to submit the manuscript to the palace, but went back home to take a nap.
Early the next morning, Shen took the manuscript with him and prepared to find a place where the internal guards were stationed. He handed in the manuscript. After he walked out of the alley, he first found a breakfast stall on the roadside and sat down, and ordered a snack.
A bowl of noodle soup, ready for breakfast.
As soon as he sat down at the breakfast stall, he heard two Jiankang locals chatting next to him.
"Yesterday afternoon, another delegation from the Hu people from the north came. I heard that they did not enter the city, but were stationed outside the city. The scale was much larger than the last time. Qian Laosi, the man who worked as an errand outside the city in Fuchun Hutong, said,
There must be at least two to three hundred people."
Another person was eating rice cakes. Hearing this, he took a bite of the cake and said, "Didn't the Hu people come here just last year? I heard they sent a princess over and then left. Why are they here again this year?"
"This star really wants to retire"
"I don't know.uuReading www.uukanshu.com"
The man from before said with a smile: "It must be that Princess Hu who has been left alone in the capital for half a year without any movement. The Hu Emperor was anxious and sent someone to ask. It may be..."
The man lowered his voice, looked around, and whispered: "I heard that some time ago in Dongshi Street, someone flirted with the Hu princess in the Dongshi Street tea house. When the Hu princess walked down from the tea house, she...
Few people saw with their own eyes that she was protected by a group of barbarians, her hair was all wet, her head was lowered and she didn't say anything, and she was also wearing a coat, wrapping herself tightly..."
"With this look, you are clearly taking advantage of someone."
This person was obviously a good person. When he said this, he said with some excitement: "If someone from our Dachen really bullied this barbarian princess, it would be considered a bad breath for the country."
The other person wanted to be more decent and frowned: "You can't say that. In any case, it is not the behavior of a gentleman to treat a weak woman lightly."
"That's what I said. I didn't say what kind of gentleman that person was. It has been more than ten days and I haven't heard of anyone arrested by Jiankang Mansion. This frivolous thing doesn't seem to be true..."
He lowered his head and took a few mouthfuls of cake soup, and said with a vague expression: "But now Qi Ren is here again, maybe it's because of this incident..."
Shen Yi was sitting next to him. After hearing this, he was a little worried, whether the princess of Northern Qi came from her hometown to cause trouble for him...
Thinking of this, Shen Yi quickly got up and paid for breakfast, took his manuscript with him, and ran all the way to find the inner guard to submit it.
