Chapter 286
Lin Xuan came to the furniture shop and asked someone to bring the set of fonts that he had made, and came to the palace again.
"I see Your Majesty!" Lin Xuan bowed.
Li Shimin waved his hand, and asked a little strangely: "Why are you here again? Could something have happened?"
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "Going back to Your Majesty, I thought of something good and came here to report it to Your Majesty."
Li Shimin asked curiously, "What is it?"
"Newspaper!" Lin Xuan said word by word.
Li Shimin frowned, showing doubts: "Newspaper?"
Lin Xuan explained: "Your Majesty, do you know that there is a saying among the people that the sky is high and the emperor is far away?"
Li Shimin was taken aback for a moment, and said with a gloomy face: "Do people really have such words?"
It is impossible for any emperor to be happy when he hears such words.
"Well, yes. In some remote places, some corrupt officials will not pass on the government's government orders at all. On the contrary, they will use the name of the court to exploit the common people. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that the sky is high and the emperor is far away." Lin Xuan explained.
Judging by Li Shimin's appearance, it seems that this sentence has not yet been said.
Fortunately, what he said was rumored by the people, and it was not easy to investigate.
Li Shimin was silent. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Of course he knows what Lin Xuan said.
"The newspaper you said can solve this problem?" Li Shimin asked.
Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Of course, officials can fool the people because the government's decrees are communicated to the governments everywhere. Whether the people know it depends entirely on whether the government will pass it on. And the newspaper is to report the government's decrees and the happenings. Print and distribute some major events, so that the local government will not dare to be so unscrupulous."
The reason why the people in ancient times were so easily fooled was because of the lack of information.
Newspapers cannot completely solve this problem, but they can bring some restraint to many people.
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he said, "Okay, you must handle this matter well."
Without movable type printing, what Lin Xuan said would definitely be unrealistic.
After all, the limitations of engraving and printing are too great.
Lin Xuan shook his head and refused, "Your Majesty, this matter is not suitable for me."
joke.
This is public opinion.
Even if future generations have private control, they must be subject to official supervision.
Li Shimin may not be aware of the importance of public opinion yet. When he realizes it, can he rest assured that Lin Xuan can grasp such an important thing?
"You proposed this matter, who else can do it well besides you?" Li Shimin asked.
Lin Xuan thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, it is best for someone who has a thorough understanding of government orders to print and distribute government orders. Moreover, public opinion must be in the hands of the court."
Li Shimin pondered for a while, nodded, and said: "You are right, I understand. I will choose a good candidate and let him go to you for advice."
"Yes! I have already brought that set of fonts here. It should be enough for the early stage." Lin Xuan said.
Li Shimin asked, "You don't print books anymore?"
Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "The matter of the books is not in a hurry, we still need to wait for Dr. Kong to fix the punctuation marks."
Now there is only one set of fonts, and not many books can be printed, and we have to wait for Kong Yingda to get the punctuation marks right.
Now he has no intention of printing books at all.
……
"boom!"
"The Cui family is too bullying!" Wang Ze angrily threw the teacup out of his hand.
There were so many people witnessing the signing of the contract between Lin Xuan and the Cui family, it was impossible to hide it from him.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Li Shimin not hiding anything at all.
Wang Qingyun persuaded: "Father calm down, is this true?"
Wang Ze said angrily: "Is this still fake? The old man still wonders why Cui Lingyun came to Chang'an suddenly."
Cui Lingyun did not hide his whereabouts when he came to Chang'an, of course Wang Ze knew about it.
He was going to visit Cui Lingdao before.
"Father, our family is in the same spirit, why did the Cui family do this?" Wang Qingyun asked suspiciously.
Wang Ze sneered and said, "Same spirit? That's just to resist the suppression of the royal family."
The Wang family used to be the No. [-] family, but the Cui family became the No. [-] family later. One can imagine the mess in it.
"Father, what should we do now?" Wang Qingyun asked.
Wang Ze sneered and said, "Don't blame our Wang family for being unrighteous. And Lin Xuan, wait for our Wang family to take revenge."
Before Lin Xuan only bought paper in Chang'an, he thought Lin Xuan was afraid of the Wang family.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan cooperated with the Cui family.
Cui Jiaming knew that paper was an important industry of the Wang family, so he chose to cooperate with Lin Xuan, completely ignoring the Wang family.
"Qingyun, hurry up to the family meeting now, and explain this matter to the patriarch clearly." Wang Ze said.
"Father, prepare your child and go back immediately." Wang Qingyun said.
……
Since the withdrawal of troops from the Tang Dynasty, although the Western Turks and Xue Yantuo have not fought, the situation has become increasingly tense.
The Western Turks didn't want to fight, and Niya took advantage of this time to recruit other small tribes.
Xue Yantuo is not stupid, of course he knows the plan of the Western Turks, so he prepares his troops to attack the Western Turks.
Western Turks, what kind of big tent is made of mud.
Ni Lu looked at the leaders of various ministries sitting in the big tent, and said: "There is news from the dark thread that Xue Yantuo will launch an attack on us in the near future."
"The reason is that they sneaked up on us and caused us a lot of losses. We haven't troubled them yet."
"That's right, Big Khan, why don't we strike first."
"That's right, our strength has increased greatly now, so we should do it first."
……
For a while, there was a call for war.
Seeing everyone's high fighting spirit, Ni Shi was very satisfied, and said with a smile, "That's right, Ben Khan has exactly this intention. Everyone, go back and prepare your army for battle."
"Yes!"
The leaders of the ministries saluted Ni Zhu and left the big tent.
Qilaobateer said: "Khan, Tang people are cunning, will they sneak attack us when we are fighting with Xue Yantuo?"
He has lived in Datang for a long time and knows that people in Datang like to play tricks.
Ni Shu shook his head and said: "There is a saying in the Central Plains that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins. Datang used food to exchange Xue Yantuo, and we exchanged war horses, just to let us feel at ease and fight."
Datang's intentions are very obvious, as long as you are not a fool, you can understand it.
Qilaobatar asked with some doubts: "Since the Great Khan knows, why does he still agree?"
Ni Yu sneered and said: "The Tang Dynasty has no food now, so there is no way to send troops. They just want us to fight first, and then send troops to fight us when we have food next year. As long as we get rid of Xue Yantuo before that is all right gone."
Even though he said this, in fact, he was not very sure that he would be able to kill Xue Yantuo before the autumn harvest next year.
He didn't want to fight, but Xue Yantuo agreed.
Xue Yantuo is not a fool, how could he give them time to develop.
But he must not say these things, so as not to discourage morale.
Qilaobateer laughed and said, "The sweat is wise."
Even though Battelle has been in Datang for so long, he still knows how to flatter.
"Haha...cough cough..." Ni Yu suddenly coughed.
Qiluo Batel asked with concern: "Khan, are you alright?"
"Ahem... I... I'm not... all right." Ni Zhu waved his hand and said.
Ni Yu slowed down, finally calmed down, and said: "Okay, you go down first."
"Yes!" Qilaobateer saluted and retreated.
Ni Lu looked at the blood in his hand, his face darkened, and he murmured: "I hope there is still time."
