"Childe, it's late at night, it's time to rest." Yuexian walked behind Xia Hongsheng and said to Xia Hongsheng, who was writing a book.

Xia Hongsheng stretched, rubbed his eyes, turned his head and said to Yuexian: "You rest first, I have to write these things out overnight." Originally, I said that I would send it over this evening, but I didn't have time to do it, so I had to get up early to send it. ”

In front of Xia Hongsheng was a hand-copied newspaper. There are different sections on it, some comment on the affairs of the imperial court, some put forward their own views and opinions, there are rumors in the market, there are also stories, and there is also a page in which there are some new good poems and articles, and there are even tea-fragrant houses, wine shops, etc.

The layout and the different content themes in different layouts have all been decided by Xia Hongsheng, and now the difference is only the content.

Because the content of the newspaper is for the world to read, and current affairs and politics are one of the important aspects. Although the Tang Dynasty was civilized, it was still a big crime to discuss the government in vain. Therefore, Xia Hongsheng was not sure whether Li Shimin would agree to him to run a newspaper, so he did not find anyone for the time being.

"If Childe doesn't sleep again, the sky will be bright." Yuexian still said to Xia Hongsheng: "It's better for the slave family to help the son write." ”

Xia Hongsheng put down the pen and smiled: "No, it's fast, and the kung fu can almost be completed without a stick of incense." ”

"Then boy, write it quickly!" Yuexian walked over to the table and cut the lamp again, making the room brighter again.

Xia Hongsheng nodded. Write hard again. I have been completing this hand-copied newspaper. I lay down in the small room behind the study and hugged each other.

In the early morning of the next day, Xia Hongsheng didn't sleep for a long time, he had something in his heart, so he got up early, handed over the hand-copied newspaper to Jiading, and asked Jiading to send it to the printing factory outside Chang'an City, and he waited for it to be printed and sent over.

Nowadays, there are quite a few people in the printing house. So the efficiency is not slow, plus Xia Hongsheng just tried to see the effect of printing this time, as long as there were not a few sheets, so the family who went to deliver the hand-copied newspaper waited there for a while, and after coming back, he brought it back.

Xia Hongsheng unfolded it and looked through it, and was very satisfied.

"Qi Yong, let's go, go to the East Palace!" Xia Hongsheng put away the newspaper and turned around and shouted.

Qi Yong immediately responded and went out. Soon the carriage was prepared and carried Xia Hongsheng to the East Palace.

Arrived at the East Palace. Poor Li Chengqian was listening to Li Gang's lecture, and Xia Hongsheng was not in a hurry to go in. He, the prince's attendant, also has to accompany the prince to class, but because he wears many hats, no one forces him to go every day for the matter of accompanying reading, and Xia Hongsheng simply doesn't go because he has to be busy with many things.

After hiding outside for half an hour, he saw Li Chengqian sending Li Gang away from a distance, and Xia Hongsheng hurriedly entered the East Palace.

"Brother Sheng! I haven't seen you since the end of the year, so how do you remember to come to me today? Li Chengqian was very happy when he saw Xia Hongsheng coming, and immediately pulled him in, and said as he walked: "It's really time for you to come, Master Li has just left, and you came." If you had come earlier, you might have been reprimanded by Master Li. Alas, Master Li seems to be in a bad mood today, just now I was just slightly wrong, and I was beaten by Master Li! ”

Xia Hongsheng followed Li Chengqian into the East Palace, and then saw that the newspaper in his arms was taken out, handed it to Li Chengqian, and said: "I came to ask you for a favor, this thing, show it to you, after reading it, pretend to be inadvertently and let His Majesty see it." ”

Li Chengqian took the newspaper from Xia Hongsheng's hand: "What kind of thing is this, and you want me to pretend to be inadvertently for my father to see?" Why didn't you present it to your father personally? ”

"Because I'm not sure if your father will agree!" Xia Hongsheng said: "This is something I am going to do in Chang'an, this piece of paper is called a daily newspaper, which means one newspaper a day. If you look at the content on it, it's mostly the news that happened the day before or a few days ago. The so-called news, literally speaking, means what has been seen and heard, and to come to the club in a specific way is to use a general narrative and relatively concise and concise words to quickly and promptly report the new and valuable facts at home and abroad. For example, if the one you have in your hand is today's daily newspaper, then what you report is what happened yesterday. Yesterday's court meeting, His Majesty issued an order to shoot with Lord Fang as the left servant, Lord Du as the right servant, and Lord Wei as the secretary and supervisor with Shangshu on the right, all of whom participated in the government politics. It's in the newspaper today. In addition, there is an introduction to the three people, an introduction to the three positions, and a summary and affirmation of the achievements of the three people, so that the people who read the newspaper can understand the decisions of the imperial court, understand the decisions of the imperial court, and also know what the imperial court has done. And tomorrow, there will be tomorrow's daily newspaper, which will be reported for today's events, and this cycle will continue. ”

Li Chengqian lowered his head and took the newspaper in his hand and read it carefully, Xia Hongsheng waited for him to read it, and after a long time, Li Chengqian read the entire newspaper on both sides.

"When I look at this newspaper, it's not just what happened in the court yesterday, but also a few legendary stories, and some trivial things in Chang'an City, but it's very interesting to watch." Li Chengqian said to Xia Hongsheng, then pointed to an advertisement in the middle of the page, and asked: "Hey, Mingxiangju's flower tea has a new flavor, what is written on it, it looks like it will taste good, is it really fake?" ”

"Naturally, it's true." Xia Hongsheng nodded and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"This looks good, in this way, everyone knows what happened yesterday, and recently there are those good things in Chang'an, which is also excellent. If there is such a picture every day, and the content is different, it will look much more interesting than this difficult and obscure article! Li Chengqian nodded and replied.

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said: "The left and right of the newspaper are far more than that. You remember, this thing is not only the people watching what the court does, but in turn, the court can also see the people's reactions to the court's decisions, and play a role as the eyes and ears of the court. In addition, don't underestimate this piece of paper, it can guide public opinion, the power of public opinion, I don't think I need to say more now! ”

Lee Seung-hyun listened to Xia Hongsheng's words, smiled, and said, "I also let me say this to my father, right?" You didn't go to show your father in person, because you were afraid that your father would directly disagree to write about the court in this daily newspaper? ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Yes, so I sent it to you and asked him to look at a few photos so casually first, this is called a tactical detour." ”

"Then I have a way!" Li Chengqian squeezed his eyes at Xia Hongsheng: "Changle is unwell these days, my father always goes to Changle to go around, and the things on it look very interesting, so let Changle take a look!" (To be continued.) )
