"Huaiying, the forces hidden behind Lu Heng and Feng Hu continue to dig out, and no official who is involved in bending the law for personal gain will be spared."
"What your Majesty means..." Di Renjie was horrified and asked tentatively.
"Purge the officialdom and pull out the cancer!"
Emperor Chu's words were concise and concise, and his attitude was very clear. Di Renjie understood Emperor Chu's thoughts well, nodded gently, bowed and raised his fists, and exited the Nuan Pavilion.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wen and Mr. Bi are here. Do you want Old Man Liu to wait outside the hall?"
"No need to let them enter the palace together!"
Bi Sheng and Wen Boya were specially summoned by him to discuss matters concerning Old Man Liu.
Listening to books in the teahouse, Emperor Chu discovered that Old Man Liu was not only very familiar with the major and minor battles of the Chu Kingdom, but also had a profound understanding of the situation, a quick mind, and especially a strong narrative ability.
As a result, Emperor Chu decided to give Old Man Liu a new career.
A little while.
Wen Boya and Bi Sheng entered the palace, fisted and saluted one after another, and the sound of respect spread. Emperor Chu signaled the two of them to stand up and looked sideways towards the door of Nuange Palace.
"Go in, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."
Xiao Guizi urged him, and Old Liu trembled and looked into the hall with frightened eyes.
"Mr. Liu, don't be alarmed. Come into the palace and talk to me. I'm still waiting for you to speak the truth!"
Hear the sound.
Liulou suddenly knelt down, extremely frightened. He thought to himself that he must have been telling stories in the teahouse, and His Majesty found out about it, and was preparing to convict him.
"Your Majesty, the common people deserve to die for their crimes, and they talk without restraint. I beg your Majesty to be lenient!"
Liu Lou's actions made Emperor Chu smile bitterly. Knowing that he should have thought that the "Dong Chuang Incident" had happened, he moved forward with a puff of sleeves.
"Mr. Liu, the storytelling is so wonderful that I am still not satisfied with it. I invite you to come to the palace today and let's discuss it together."
"Your Majesty has made great achievements and is a holy king for all ages. The common people are just seeking truth from facts and promoting our emperor's grace and divine power to make it known to all countries at home and abroad."
Hearing Liu Lou's voice, Emperor Chu Longyan was overjoyed. Although he knew he was complimenting him, it still felt comfortable and made people feel like a spring breeze.
"Get flat!"
Liu Lou slowly stood up, looked at Emperor Chu attentively, and said: "Your Majesty is..."
"Yes, I was the one who listened to the book last night."
Speaking in front of Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Liulou feels ashamed of himself. He was working hard last night and almost got into trouble. Fortunately, he didn't say a single word of truth.
Otherwise, he should have been beheaded outside the Meridian Gate.
"Bo Ya, Bi Aiqing, and Mr. Liu are seated. I have summoned you to come today because I have something to discuss with you."
"Bi Aiqing, has movable type printing technology matured?"
"Your Majesty, it is very mature. Wei Chen and Mr. Wen have also recently improved Wu Chu's paper according to Tiangong Qishu.
Unexpectedly, Bi Sheng and Wen Boya had already begun to study paper improvement. They were far-sighted and the Emperor of Chu was overjoyed.
"The two dear friends are so passionate about research. The emergence of new paper in the future will be a world-changing feat."
"Now that movable type printing technology has matured, I decided to create the first edition of Wuchu newspaper."
"newspaper?"
"That's right, Chu State Monthly Report."
"The purpose is to collect all the major events that happened in the country together, use movable type printing to complete it, and then distribute it to the people."
"In this way, the people will know the major events happening in the empire and keep abreast of the development of the country's affairs. My dear friends, don't underestimate the Chu State Monthly. A newspaper can give the people a greater sense of belonging, and at the same time, they can understand the empire as quickly as possible.
dynamic."
After hearing Emperor Chu's explanation, Wen Boya nodded frequently and said: "Wonderful, really wonderful!"
"Your Majesty, the publication of the Chu State Monthly will become a link between the empire and the people, and will play a role in stabilizing the country. I will give you your full support."
"Bo Ya, the monthly newspaper is just the beginning. In the future, as the newspaper office becomes more mature, weekly magazines and daily newspapers will also appear. All matters that occur in the empire, big or small, will not be reserved to the common people."
"At the same time, the newspaper office will also become a place for people to express their demands. If anything happens, they can publish it in the newspaper. It is very convenient to deal with so many things."
The Emperor of Chu was well aware of the importance of news dissemination, and the appearance of Chu State's Monthly Report was unstoppable. If anything like Lu Heng's bullying of the people happened in the future, he would only need to publish their results in the monthly report.
Once the news spreads, it will serve as an example to others and serve as an endless deterrent. It will also open up the people's voice and allow the shortcomings at the bottom of Chu State to be solved in the fastest and most effective way.
"Bo Ya, the Academy of Sciences is responsible for the printing of newspapers and periodicals. As for writing and collecting, I already have a candidate."
During the conversation.
Emperor Chu looked sideways at Liu Lou with a smile on his face, but Liu Lou had a blank look on his face. He was confused and could not understand the conversation between the three people in front of him.
Seeing that Emperor Chu was looking at him, he raised his figure and said: "The common people are scared. If our emperor needs the common people, he will die without mercy."
"sensible!"
"Mr. Liu, I am going to give you another job. Are you interested?"
"Change jobs!"
Liu Lou was so shocked that he was buried up to his neck in loess. He had been wandering around all his life. But now he could gain the trust of Emperor Chu. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he might be able to soar into the sky.
"A storyteller from the grassroots, if your Majesty feels that there is a job suitable for the grassroots, he will do his best."
"very good!"
"The monthly newspaper of Chu Kingdom has been published, and you will be the editor-in-chief of the newspaper."
Emperor Chu turned his sleeves and raised his hand to offer Liu Lou the position of editor-in-chief, but he was confused.
"Editor-in-Chief?"
"Your Majesty, I am a humble minister. I wonder what the official position of this editor is?"
Obviously, Liu Lou was not the only one who had doubts. Wen Boya and Bi Sheng also turned their attention to Emperor Chu.
Next.
Emperor Chu informed the three of them of the chief editor's responsibilities in detail. When Liu Lou heard that he could be the chief editor and that he could also recruit other people with outstanding literary talent, his heart was racing and his excitement was beyond words.
"Bo Ya, Bi Aiqing, I will leave the printing to you from now on!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will try my best to cooperate with Master Liu!"
Bi Sheng glanced at Liulou, Gujing Wubo, and raised his fist to salute him.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you and the other three. In one month, I want to see the first page of the Chu Kingdom Monthly."
"As ordered~"
"As ordered~"
The three of them took the order and left Nuange. Emperor Chu asked Xiao Guizi to go with Liulou and confirm the residence needed by the newspaper office.
He was left alone in the Nuan Pavilion, and Lu Buwei of Qimu Villa sounded in his mind again. At this moment, Daji carried the food box, pushed open the palace door and entered.
"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch!"
"My beloved concubine came here personally to deliver lunch. Let me see what delicious food there is!"
Emperor Chu stood up and walked down, pulling Daji to the side of the wooden table. Daji obediently opened the food box and started to introduce it to him.
But when the words came to her lips, her pretty face flushed, and she was so shy that she secretly whispered in her heart: "Damn Qiu'er, you actually 'tricked' me!" (To be continued)
