Datang started from being a salted fish

Chapter 640 Negotiation Details
It's normal for some other local officials to make a fuss once they see that there is something to be squeezed out of these decrees. Even if they don't dare to mess around on a large scale, some small changes still happen from time to time!
Although Li Shimin knew about these phenomena, he didn't have any suitable countermeasures in a short period of time. As long as they didn't go too far, he could bear it. . .

But now with this newspaper, it will be different: at that time, there will be no need for these layers of transmission in the middle, and what the people will see is the original appearance of these decrees!

At that time, if anyone wants to extract oil and water, they can only stare blankly: Now that everything is clearly written in black and white, how can they extract oil and water?Anyone who messes around a little bit will be discovered immediately, isn't that just death. . .

And this newspaper also has an irreplaceable important role: to guide public opinion!

Looking back, Li Shimin, such an important thing as the newspaper, must be firmly in his hands. By then, won't he have the final say on what will be in the newspaper?With this newspaper to guide public opinion, it will be much simpler!
Moreover, because of Wang Yinzheng's "Jin Ping Mei" before, the literacy rate of the people in Chang'an City and nearby counties has reached an unimaginable level. . .

Even if there are still some illiterate people, this is not a problem: there are always literate people around them, right?Is there any news in the newspapers of the neighbors in this street that still can't be passed on?

In Li Shimin's view, Wang Yin's newspaper is simply a sharp weapon tailored for himself to improve the reputation of the people!
As for whether the newspaper can make money or not, Li Shimin doesn't care anymore. Compared with the important event of using it to gain the reputation of the people, the little capital of the newspaper is no longer important!

Besides, with the papermaking and printing technology provided by Wang Yin, this newspaper will be profitable even if it only sells for a penny each. . .

The only thing that bothers Li Shimin a little is the reason Wang Yin asked Changsun Wuji to invite him before: exercise is good for the body. . .

"Wang Yin, do you really think that I am as idle as you every day?" Li Shimin sat down on the sofa in the hall after entering the villa, and complained to Wang Yin.

Although Li Shimin could only bear with Wang Yin's disrespect for him, the emperor, and even shouting and shouting, after all, he couldn't afford to offend him, right?

But that didn't stop him from whining. . .

"See Your Majesty." Cheng Lingxue quickly saluted Li Shimin when she saw him coming in, then obediently ran to the refrigerator to get two ice creams and put them on the table in front of Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji.

"Wang Yin, tell me about the newspaper in detail..." Li Shimin first waved his hand at Cheng Lingxue to signal that she doesn't need to be polite, and then hurriedly asked Wang Yin.

At this moment, he was only thinking about the newspaper, so naturally he didn't have the heart to eat any ice cream.

"This thing is actually very simple..." Wang Yin simply took out a piece of paper and a pencil and said while gesticulating: "The front and back of this paper can be divided into four large sections, and each section can be divided into four sections. It is divided into several small sections, and some important reports can be put on this first page, and then the space can be made larger,..."

As Wang Yin was talking and drawing over there, Li Shimin's eyes became brighter and brighter: when he heard Changsun Wuji's report before, he only had a rough idea in his mind, but now he saw Wang Yin's gesticulation in this newspaper. The specific concepts emerged clearly!And with Wang Yin's in-depth introduction to Li Shimin, the interest is getting bigger and bigger. . .

"You can publish some business advertisements in the gaps in the middle, and of course you can make a special advertisement for it." Finally, Wang Yin concluded: "You can also publish some job recruitment information on it, so that people can find jobs. It’s also more convenient when it’s dry.”

"Okay!" Li Shimin shouted "Hello" after listening to it, then picked up the paper in Wang Yin's hand and read it: "This newspaper is really a good thing..."

As for the advertisements that Wang Yin said, he ignored them: now Li Shimin's eyes are all on this newspaper, so he doesn't care whether he advertises or not. . .

"In addition to this kind of news newspaper, we can also get some other newspapers." Wang Yin tapped the desktop with a pencil: "For example, some literature ones can be solicited from the public, presumably those scholars should like it more. Then For example, there are some entertainment, you can report some things that are missing recently, etc..."

Although there are book publishing businesses in bookstores and the prices are not too expensive, this does not conflict with newspaper submissions: after all, publishing a book requires articles, and you can’t just write a poem and run over to publish it. books?As for newspapers, there is no such concern at all, and even a poem can be published at that time.

Presumably those so-called gifted scholars and beauties should be very interested by then: some people may only have one or two eye-catching poems or articles, and it would definitely not be appropriate to publish a book, but if If you put it on the newspaper and show your face, then there is no problem!

Of course, the premise is that what they write is really readable. . .

In other words, some people do have real talents but are too shy to publish books, so they can show their strengths in this newspaper at that time.

After all, no matter how talented you are, people have never heard of the author of this book at all, so the desire to buy will go down all of a sudden, right?

But if you submit an article to a newspaper, you don't have to worry about this at all. After all, you can make money without spending money by submitting an article to a newspaper. . .

And it's impossible for everyone to be interested in these news-like news. At that time, we can also get some gossip newspapers to make everyone happy. . .

Besides, reading the news and then reading the gossip is also conflicting. Who doesn't have the gossip factor in their hearts? . .

Speaking of which, Wang Yin's running a newspaper is actually of no benefit to him. After all, this thing mainly serves Li Shimin, let alone making money; Just do it, you don't need to do it yourself anyway, just think of it as enriching the spiritual life of the people of the Tang Dynasty. . .

Anyway, Wang Yin only remembered it in a flash of inspiration before, but now it's just a matter of talking about it, and it's right to be a small talk. . .
