Upon hearing that Ling Xun was to be called, Manman's lips curled up, and she replied crisply, "Yes."

Soon, Manman summoned Ling Xun.

Ling Xun bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Prime Minister Ling, Princess Yu Rong has some ideas about people's livelihood. Would you and Manman listen to her and discuss them?"

“…” Ling Xun glanced at Princess Yu Rong.

Princess Yu Rong looked at him with fervent eyes, but her gaze was somewhat lewd.

"How should I talk to her?"

"Let's talk about flood prevention measures. Remember, it must not exceed half an hour. Ling Xiang has the right to terminate this at any time."

The Shangsi Festival has passed, and spring drought has occurred in the northwest. Floods may occur in the south in May. It is indeed necessary to listen to how people a thousand years from now prevent and control these disasters.

Manman and Lingxun took Guan Yingying downstairs, while Xie Zhaozhao went to Zhou Shaoyu's study.

Zhou Shaoyu was surprised that she would come to his study during her "duty" time. He immediately put down the folded document in his hand and patted the dragon throne next to him: "Come sit here."

Xie Zhaozhao sat down next to him, and Xiu Ning immediately and tactfully withdrew.

"The true purpose of the five national advisors coming to Yulong Kingdom is to find a reincarnated person. The Dongli people and the Pyu people are in cahoots, all searching for the Dongli people's ancestor, the woman who nearly unified the continent a thousand years ago!"

Zhou Shaoyu, who had naturally read historical texts, asked, "Are they looking for Guan Ying?"

“Yes, it’s said that the people of Dongli have set up a soul-summoning formation in an attempt to bring Guan Ying’s soul back. It’s also said that Guan Ying knows the secrets of immortality and can be reincarnated repeatedly.” Xie Zhaozhao said, half-laughing and half-crying, “They suspect that I am their reincarnated ancestor!”

Zhou Shaoyu frowned. How could Xie Zhaozhao possibly be the ancestor of the Dongli people?

Is this because they see Xie Zhaozhao's competence and want to take advantage of her?

He acted cute and coquettish towards Xie Zhaozhao, spoiling and giving in to her in every way, but who said he was easy to get along with?

Xie Zhaozhao is his Achilles' heel; anyone who dares to touch Xie Zhaozhao will be made to regret being born.

His Majesty the Emperor Chen must not allow the people of Dongli to believe that Xie Zhaozhao is their ancestor.

Otherwise, driven by ambition, they might kidnap, assassinate, or imprison... Who knows what those madmen in Dongli might do?

He patted Xie Zhaozhao's hand reassuringly, "Don't be afraid!"

"Hmm. I want to talk to you about the official gazette—I want to improve its function and form, so that it is not only circulated among government officials, but also made available to everyone in Yulong, including ordinary people."

Xie Zhaozhao was referring to the newspaper.

Guan Yingying's talk about airplanes, cannons, computers, networks, and even spaceships is too advanced and unbelievable, with almost no feasibility, and it's simply not feasible at the moment.

Newspapers, on the other hand, although abandoned in Guan Yingying's time, are an extremely practical and necessary means of information transmission for the current Yulong Kingdom.

The key is that you can get started immediately.

She showed the drawing Guan Yingying had made to Zhou Shaoyu.

Zhou Shaoyu looked at the drawing, then at her, and asked, "Was this drawn by Yu Rong?"

"Yes, she once said that she was not Princess Yu Rong, but came from a thousand years in the future."

Both of them actually had some thoughts in their minds.

The ancestor that the people of Dongli are desperately searching for might be Princess Yu Rong/Guan Yingying.

"We can't let the Dongli people take her away!"

Although Xie Zhaozhao had mastered the gunpowder formula, she was not bloodthirsty and never had the ambition to "unify the world and last for thousands of generations".

However, Guan Yingying is different.

If she is released and gets involved with the Dongli people, it could be a disaster for the entire Tiansheng Continent.

The five national advisors won't stay in Jade Dragon Kingdom forever; they prefer to go and mess around with their ancestors on their own.

What Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao need to do is address the livelihood issues of their own country.

“We can start making the newspaper you mentioned right away. We’ll call it ‘Jade Dragon News’.”

Newspapers are the face of the Jade Dragon court and the powerful tool by which the court controls public opinion.

The first issue of the newspaper had its title inscribed by Zhou Shaoyu, and the inaugural message included the names of Emperor Chen, Emperor An, Prime Minister Ling, and the Retired Emperor...

The front page headlines were "His Majesty Visits Changhe Town" and "Pioneers of Reform, Daring to Be the First in the World".

The content is extremely inspiring, and the newspaper has great commemorative value.

Just imagine, the inaugural issue of this newspaper, with messages from two emperors, the retired emperor, the prime minister... you might only get one of these in a lifetime, or even two lifetimes.

Moreover, the newspaper was published in six pages, including news that Changhe Town in Lizhou had become a testing ground for reform, as well as announcements of the first provincial and palace examinations after the establishment of the Yulong Kingdom.

There are also "personal interviews" with the newly crowned champion.

On the sixth page, there was also a whole page dedicated to lifestyle topics, such as how to match clothes, and the Ministry of Works inventing a household "pump well" so that people no longer had to go through the trouble of fetching water.

The newspaper was priced at two coins.

The inaugural issue had a print run of 50,000 copies.

During the first half of the day after the newspaper was published, everyone was observing; in the second half of the day, there was heated discussion.

The frenzy to buy began the following day.

On the third day, it was extremely difficult to get a report.

The envoys from the five countries at the post station also received a copy of the newspaper. At first, they didn't think too much about it, since all countries had their own official gazettes. This was just a newspaper that expanded the amount of information available.

However, when they saw the fifth edition of the leisure section, specifically an article titled "A Thousand-Year Vision," they were so excited that they trembled all over.

The article was titled "Traveling a Thousand Miles a Day, I Love My Off-Road Vehicle".

The author of the article is Yanke.
