Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

"What's the situation? The King of Yan has already arrived at this place, so don't give us a pass."

Du Ruhui on the side also asked about the situation.

Li You smiled mysteriously and said, "Two prime ministers, do you want to spread "Zhenguan Law" and "Zhenguan Clan Chronicles" quickly?"

"It's the kind that everyone talks about in every street and alley."

Fang Xuanling nodded quickly and said, "Of course I think about it, it's best to have this effect."

"However, we think that "Zhenguan Dictionary" may still have such an effect, but the other two are really helpless."

"Even if we can put it on shelves all over the country at the same time, the family will definitely not let us promote it like this."

"If the King of Yan has any good ideas, please tell us. We will definitely ask His Majesty for credit for you..."

Fang Xuanling was about to say something, but was interrupted by Du Ruhui.

"Yan Wang is the one who cares about that little credit!"

"When this matter is over, we promise not to disturb King Yan's rest. Even if King Yan wants to go out of Beijing again, we will help you speak good words in front of His Majesty."

Hearing Du Ruhui's words, Li You laughed out loud.

"It's still Du Xiang who understands me."

"I know that this king is just a lazy fish."

"Actually, my solution this time is also very simple, that is, to publish another magazine while printing these three books."

"Considering that the transportation and communication are not so smooth now, this king decided to publish every two weeks."

"The first magazine of the Tang Dynasty is called "Zhenguan Banyue Tan", okay?"

However, after Li You finished speaking, the expected admiration did not appear, on the contrary, the scene was quiet.

In the end, it was Du Ruhui who asked, "King Yan, what do you mean by this magazine?"

"Why do you think he can help us, and why does he come out only once every half a month?"

Hearing this question, Li You suddenly realized that the two people in front of him had no idea about magazines.

He quickly explained to the two of them: "You can regard this magazine as a book of maybe fifty or sixty pages."

"Most of the articles in this kind of book are one to two pages, and there are some small ones of half a page to a quarter of a page."

"However, compared with general works, the magazine's language is more plain and simple, but it pays more attention to timeliness, but it has more detailed evaluations of what happened."

"For example, in "Zhenguan Banyue Tan", you can write an article to explain why "Zhenguan Law" was compiled, and then write another article to express the changes that "Zhenguan Law" brought to people's lives."

"Anyway, one principle is to write everything you want to tell the public."

Li You knew that the original origin of the magazine was the propaganda pamphlets from strikes, school strikes or against wars, and it was very appropriate to use this kind of thing for propaganda.

After Li You's explanation, Fang and Du also understood.

Originally, they actually wrote something to promote the "Law of Zhenguan", but what they wrote was the government's notice.

Notices are actually the only way for the government to release information to the public in this era.

In order to express the image of the government, the government's notices are generally very blunt in terms, and the general public will not be able to understand it unless someone interprets it in detail.

Now, after what Li You said, the two immediately understood.

"but……"

Both of them had a lot of questions about this magazine, but this time Du Ruhui rushed to ask them first.

"We basically understand the purpose of the magazine, but why does this magazine have to be published every two weeks?"

"Even if we publish a magazine for "Zhenguan Law" and "Zhenguan Clan History", then there are only two magazines.

But Li You said with a chuckle: "Does Du Xiang think that the only communication between the Tang court and the people is the "Zhenguan Law" and "Zhenguan Clan History"?"

At this moment, Du Ruhui suddenly realized and nodded, "Of course not."

"So that's the case. This is equivalent to every half a month. We can explain to the people what the court is doing now, so that the people know and understand the situation of the court."

Li You nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly how it is."

"This "Zhenguan Banyue Tan" can be used as a communication tool between the court and the people."

"Aren't you still thinking about how to collect public opinion before? Just let the people submit articles to the magazine!"

"In this way, we can not only know the real needs of the people, but also understand the major events happening in various places faster."

"In addition to the state government's notification, there is an additional channel to understand the local situation."

Fang Xuanling slapped his thigh and praised, "Wonderful!"

But soon he asked another question: "King Yan, how will your magazine be distributed to the people?"

"How much budget does the court need to spend?"

"If it is to be distributed nationwide, it should cost a lot, right?"

Hearing this question, Li You couldn't help but admire Fang Xuanling's delicacy in his heart, he was able to wake up in such a short period of time, and thought of the cost issue.

However, in Li You's view, this problem is not a problem at all.

Li You chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry about this issue."

"This magazine is not distributed for free, but it has to be sold for money."

"This king is here to introduce business to you, not to ask for subsidies."

"This magazine is expected to sell [-] copies, and the first two issues are expected to sell [-] copies. Let's see the situation later."

Hearing that Li You was here to cooperate, Fang Xuanling immediately became more interested, and quickly asked, "I don't know how King Yan plans to cooperate?"

After Li You gave birth to the idea of ​​starting a magazine, he had already thought about what to do next in the system space.

In fact, there are two basic requirements for running a magazine. One is hardware, that is, printing technology and craftsmanship.

This point is not difficult for Li You. With his control over printing workshops across the country, there is no problem in reprinting magazines.

Moreover, the printing of magazines does not require so many printing workshops.

Li You is now planning a bimonthly magazine, so basically it only needs to focus on five or six big cities and radiate to the surrounding areas.

Another condition for running a magazine is the content that the magazine needs.

Li You himself didn't want to bother with this content, so he finally decided to hand it over to Fang and Du.

And this is the condition for Li You to cooperate with the imperial court.

Fang and Du naturally readily accepted such a condition.

After Li You pointed out to them the unprecedented influence that the magazine can produce, their biggest appeal now is to take the content dominance of the magazine in their hands.

The two sides hit it off and quickly reached a cooperation agreement.

However, after the agreement was completed, Fang Xuanling encountered difficulties again.

"Yan Wang, we can organize people to write the content of this magazine, even the gossip you mentioned, we can also collect it, but we still seem to lack an editor-in-chief."

"Does the editor-in-chief, King Yan, have any suggestions?"
