Xu Lian and True Phoenix of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian carefully scanned the things the emperor was holding, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "It's a newspaper, according to His Majesty." Recently, he has not only read the translated books, even the newspapers have begun to study, and the emperor also has a little A little bit of interest, but there is no news on it, and some are old news.

"I heard that you have started studying mathematics again recently?" The emperor is actually the one with the most curiosity, and he is very concerned about other people's gossip. If he can't be the emperor, he is very likely to become the uncle of the neighborhood committee.

Jia Lian nodded and said, "Yes, I think arithmetic is very interesting." Studying mathematics, he is actually not very interested in mathematics, but it can be regarded as a basic course. If you don't understand it, you can't do many things. Just be clear.

The emperor was not very interested in mathematics, so he quickly shifted his attention to the topic just now, "Newspapers can't be published casually!"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Why not?" He suddenly felt that if he wanted to trigger changes, newspapers were absolutely indispensable, even if they served the ruling class.

The emperor thought very clearly, "If there are too many of these things, wouldn't it be bad for control?"

"But the Holy Majesty can also do the opposite and use this thing to control and educate!" Jia Lian began to fool around again.

The emperor couldn't help asking, "How to use these to educate them?" He had already known about this stuff beforehand, and he knew very well that those literati could use this stuff to cause big troubles, but Jia Lian He is determined in his heart, so he is happy to hear what he has to say.

Jia Lian was also not polite, and explained in a slow voice, "Although most of the subjects are extremely peaceful now, there are always some people who are not so peaceful. It's just the year, if you encounter those disaster years, there will always be some troubles." This is what everyone understands in their hearts, Jia Lian didn't say it so clearly, nor did he say it so cryptically.

"Actually, every disaster year, there are refugees who make troubles, but they just don't have enough to eat and worry that they won't be able to survive," Jia Lian analyzed methodically. Desperate, in fact, they didn't think about the consequences of their desperation at all, but at that moment, because of ignorance, they were deceived."

This is a little flattering of the emperor, comparing people who commit troubles to foolish people, so those who listen to the court in an orderly manner are naturally smart people. The emperor was quite complacent in his heart, "You continue explain."

Of course Jia Lian would continue to say that he had already started the story, if he didn’t finish it, he would be treating himself badly, “Yes, I feel that there are few smart people, but those who are not very smart must always be let go. Be a little smarter, at least you must understand that you are thinking of them, my lord, even in a disaster year, you will work hard to relieve the disaster. In this case, if only local officials are allowed to do it, it is naturally possible, but Your Majesty can't keep an eye on them all the time, wouldn't it be annoying if they misdelivered a little bit of your news?"

"However, it would be different if there were newspapers. Your Majesty, you can promote this to all parts of the country. For those who are illiterate, there are also local talents who can help them read it, and let them know that you are thinking of them, Your Majesty. "Now that printing technology and papermaking technology have been improved a long time ago, they are completely cheap, so why not take advantage of them?

The emperor still couldn't help frowning, this was a big effort, although Jia Lian said it seemed to be quite good, but the emperor was poor, and he was a bit reluctant to spend money on it, not to mention, those ministers He definitely wouldn't be happy either, as he had seen Hubu's slick look many times before.

"This is not a small expense," the emperor thought for a while, and said slowly, "Although what you said is true, but..." He still hesitated.

Jia Lian really wants to roll his eyes, what does it mean to be an emperor, he dare not do what he wants to do, it is because he has no money, and a penny will kill a hero, and he seems, the emperor is no better than those Wherever the heroes are lucky to go, they are just as poor.

Jia Lian can only continue to work hard. It is absolutely impossible for his creativity to be wasted without receiving any goods. He still wants to use this method to get himself a higher official position!

"Your Majesty understands what you mean." He is a good courtier who is considerate of the emperor. "Actually, this newspaper can be issued on a trial basis. We didn't have the means to distribute it all over the country at once. We can try it in the capital now. If it works Now, let’s promote it little by little.”

"What's more, this thing is not distributed to everyone for free, but sold." Jia Lian continued, "It doesn't need to be expensive, just a few pennies is enough, even poor students can afford it The price couldn't be more suitable.”

The emperor didn't understand again, "It's not so cheap just to print the newspaper for a few pennies." The content in it also costs money, right?

This Jia Lian must be the one who understands the most. Looking at the emperor's appearance, he knows that he is not willing to give it a try. Jia Lian is not going to persuade him anymore. He has already made it so clear, but the emperor also has the emperor's difficulties, and he is also the same now. The more I read, the more I understood. Naturally, I was embarrassed to embarrass the emperor who had always been good to me, so I gave him a step down, "If the emperor trusts me, I can give this work to my minister first."

The emperor frowned slightly, "What are you going to do?"

Jia Lian said slowly, "There is no need for the court to pay the money. I can try it myself, but this is all subject to your permission."

The emperor walked down the steps. When Jia Lian was engaged in pearl cultivation, he tried it himself first, and when he got the results, he immediately offered them up, not to mention steam engines, which were all considered by the emperor first.This newspaper is also because it is a bit special, so he told himself that he will definitely present it again when there are results.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more satisfied he was, so he asked Jia Lian to test the water first, and if it was useful, he would have something to say to the ministers, but it should be emphasized, "The content of this cannot be casual. "

Jia Lian immediately climbed up the pole, "I obey the order." The emperor didn't want to intervene, but he thought it was better, otherwise he would be very upset if he was asked to do something.

After the emperor began to pay attention to the Mohism, there were more and more craftsmen, and more people began to study how to use the steam engine on different things.Jia Lian had discovered that there was a steam printing machine before, not to mention movable type printing. It has never been a problem. As for starting a newspaper, at the beginning, only a few people were needed, and they didn't need too many. The layout, not to mention, what he wanted to do, was a weekly newspaper!

Wang Xifeng didn't understand Jia Lian's thinking, but she had an advantage. She was good at learning and could find benefits from it. Even the emperor didn't understand that running a newspaper could make money, but Wang Xifeng read it when Jia Lian and her first talked about it. I understand, "This is a good thing. We are the only ones who have this thing, and the Holy One has nodded. Even if ordinary people want to do it, they can't compare with us." This is the difference between the government and the private sector. This way, but with the backing of the imperial court.

"At the beginning, we definitely couldn't make any money," Wang Xifeng said again, "but I know something, when they all read our newspapers, it's time for us to make money! If you have any spare time in the future In other places, I can put the news about my shops and let people know about them.” Even if people didn’t care about the shops on new things, they now have to know about them.

Jia Lian was taken aback when she heard her words. How could the daughter-in-law understand the advertisement? This is too inferential. I must work harder, otherwise I will definitely be surpassed in the future.

Wang Xifeng didn't know Jia Lian's thoughts, and was still excited. By the way, she regretted that she couldn't participate in it. "I just don't know how to read, and I haven't read a few books. Now these literate things are definitely not helpful."

But Jia Lian said, "You can belittle yourself. What you said just now is very good. If something happens in the future, I still want to ask your opinion more!"

Wang Xifeng also said happily, "Of course it's okay to ask for my opinion, but don't think that my ideas are bad."

Since Jia Lian was going to do it, of course he had to make a plan before doing it. His writing skills were not good, but he had no intention of inviting those sour rotten scholars to join him.Then the candidate, of course, has to be chosen carefully.

Don't even think about the name of the newspaper. "Daqing Daily" is the most arrogant name. It directly uses the country name. This thing can't be used casually, but the emperor will definitely not mind it. Now he has gained a little understanding of the emperor's temperament. Instead of feeling displeased with such a name, he will feel that this is a great good thing, and he is flattered in his heart.So Jia Lian chose the name without any psychological pressure at all. His current pressure is all on the partners.

He has his own ideas, but it is impossible for him to make a newspaper by himself. This is really too sad, but who to choose to help?If he is unfamiliar, he is really worried, but after thinking about the familiar people around him, he feels a bit difficult, mainly because there are not many educated people in his circle!

Everyone is from a noble background, they don't have to worry about food and drink, and they can arrange work at home, so why do they need to study hard by themselves?On the contrary, he himself became an alternative, the one with the highest education.

But people are definitely looking for. At the beginning, he can play the leading role, and his ability is not mediocre. What's more, he didn't want to write stereotyped classical Chinese, but wanted to use semi-vernacular methods so that more common people can If you understand it, even if you are illiterate, you can understand it when you hear someone read it.

"No matter how difficult it is to find, as long as you are willing to look for it, you will definitely find it." Jia Lian still had such confidence. He was just a little distressed in his heart. Even though these two people are going to prepare for the Juren exam now, but uncle has something to do, how can they not help?Otherwise, wouldn't it be too unkind?
