As soon as the weather was slightly cool, the door opened.

People left their homes and hurried out into the streets. Busy work, or leisurely, the streets soon became more crowded.

Suddenly, in the streets and alleys, some young children suddenly rushed out, dressed neatly and neatly, each carrying a satchel on his shoulder, and inside was a thick and neat stack of papers.

The young children scattered in all directions, to almost every street where there were many people.

These teenagers stopped at intervals, and there were as many as seven or eight standing on the side of the street, because they were all the same, and they were all carrying the same packages that they had never seen before, and the thick paper inside, they stood one at intervals, and immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.

I saw the teenagers pull out a piece of paper from the package, the paper was not small, and it was about to catch up with the size of half of their upper body, and shouted to the passers-by: "Sell newspapers!" Sell newspapers! One penny! In today's news, Your Majesty has opened up his views and promoted newspapers, so that the people of the world can see the daily affairs of the imperial court in the newspapers, and they will become supervision! Come and take a look! ”

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! One penny! His Majesty appointed Fang Xuanling as the left servant, Du Ruhui as the right servant, and Shangshu as the secretary and supervisor of Wei Zhengshou, all of whom participated in the government affairs. Check out the detailed news! ”

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! One penny! Your Majesty reiterates that the five-flower judgment will be reviewed by the Zhongshu Shilang and the Zhongshu Order, and corrected by the Zhongzhong and Huangmen Shilang, so as not to make mistakes in political affairs! ”

The boys kept waving the newspaper in their hands, and at the same time kept shouting a summary of the contents of the newspaper to the crowd on the street. It attracted the attention of all the passers-by along the street.

"Huh? You can see the affairs of the imperial court from above?! Suddenly, a person on the road shouted in surprise: "What happened above the court." Is it also something that we ordinary people can watch? ”

"It's a penny. Buy it and take a look! The other man laughed, then walked out of the crowd, walked up to the newsboy, took out a copper coin, and handed it to the newsboy: "Little brother, show me one!" Let me ask you, can you really see the things in the court from above? ”

But I heard the newsboy say crisply: "I'm afraid this boy doesn't know yet, right?" It's called a newspaper, and it's a paper that tells you what happened today. Let the people of the world know. If Your Majesty has a will, what happens in the court in the future and the decisions of the court must be published in the newspaper for the people of the world to see, and it is also good to supervise the actions of the court, discuss the good and bad policies, and participate in the government affairs, and the officials of the court and the people of the world participate in the court politics together to ensure that the court can obey the will of the people. Let Datang be forever! ”

"I see!" The man was immediately amazed and touched the newspaper with both hands. excited: "Let the people of the world know about the affairs of the court through the newspaper, and also discuss the affairs of the court, so that the people of the world also participate in the government affairs, and the court will naturally be able to obey the will of the people!" Your Majesty is generous! Your Majesty is really generous! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Datang! ”

The man immediately opened the newspaper and stood on the street to read it.

Hearing his words, some more people came forward excitedly and bought a newspaper from the newsboy's hand.

Gradually, more and more people began to rush to buy newspapers.

Such a situation appeared on almost every crowded street in Chang'an City, where people kept shouting Long live Your Majesty, long live the imperial court, and even some literati cried loudly on the street, laughed after crying, and kept shouting Your Majesty's wisdom!

In the alleyway next to the street, a young man in civilian clothes looked at the scene on the street in surprise and kept smacking his tongue, and said in surprise: "Brother Sheng, sure enough, you said that after these 'nursery' leaders, they really started to buy newspapers!" When it comes to doing business, you still have a hand! ”

"Unlucky boy, you see this? Go back and talk to your dad, be careful that your dad punches your ass! Xia Hongsheng, who was also dressed in civilian clothes next to him, rolled his eyes at him and said, "Your father didn't let you come to see how I do business." ”

"I know, I know!" Li Chengqian, who was dressed in civilian clothes, nodded beside him, and said: "The people cheered, the literati cried with joy, and kept shouting Long live Your Majesty, long live the Tang Dynasty, this situation, alas, if my father knows, I should regret that I didn't come to see it in person." Brother Sheng, I don't know that it turns out that the people's desire and the support of all the people are such an exciting thing! ”

"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, otherwise how could Meng Shengren say the words 'the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light'?" Xia Hongsheng said to Li Chengqian: "A king, only by obeying the will of the people, the people will support, the throne can last for a long time, and the national fortune can be eternal." And never go against the will of the people, for if it goes against the will of the people, it will eventually be disbelieved and rejected by all the people. Chengqian, you remember, even as a ruler, sometimes your long-term long-term people's eyes will not see, but only focus on immediate interests, so they do not agree with those decisions that are beneficial in the long run. This is a must. At such a time, as a ruler, you cannot force it and cause the people to turn against you. At such times, it is necessary to learn to take a detour, slowly leading, guiding, and even transforming the minds of the people to unify them with the intentions of the rulers. Take the Grand Canal as an example, the Grand Canal itself is a matter of merit, and Emperor Yang of Sui just didn't know how to guide the people's hearts, and forcibly built it when the people's hearts were not aligned, causing the people of the world to resent him, and naturally they couldn't be with him. If Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty knew at that time to guide the people's hearts and make the people of the world think that the construction of the Grand Canal was beneficial and good, then what happened later might have been different. Public opinion cannot be violated, which does not mean that it is necessary to obey the public opinion 100% absolutely, after all, many times because of their own knowledge and the height of their own limitations, Baixin's vision is not long-term, and most of them only consider themselves. Rather, when the people's will is right, it must not be violated, and when the people's will is not right, we must learn to guide the people's will in the right direction. And the newspaper is a sharp weapon to guide the direction of the people's hearts! ”

Li Chengqian knew that Xia Hongsheng was educating him, so his expression was solemn, and he bowed to Xia Hongsheng: "Thank you Jingshi for reminding him!" I made a note of it! ”

As he spoke, he was catching up with several carriages hurrying past the road, and when he saw the appearance of pedestrians on the road, the carriage stopped.

A man came down from above, looked at the people in the street in amazement, and said a few words to the people around him, and the people around him immediately hurried forward to inquire, and then went to the newsboy to buy several newspapers, and handed them to the man who got out of the carriage.

The man picked it up and looked at it, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became. Then, at once, he got into the carriage again and hurried away. (To be continued.) )
