Chapter 31 Tang Daily

Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace and immediately found Zhang Xuansu, Yu Zhining and Kong Yingda, the three prince teachers, and told them that Li Er wanted them to help him run the newspaper.

After Li Chengqian explained the role of the newspaper and the newspaper to the three teachers, he asked them to comment on current affairs in the newspaper.

Kong Yingda and the other two agreed on the spot. Not only could they publish their own comments on current affairs, but they could also publish their own articles in the newspaper, and most importantly, they could publish their own teaching experience on it.

How could the three of them miss such a good thing that they could not find even with a lantern.

"Prince! Will using your own name cause unnecessary trouble?" Zhang Xuansu asked.

This question is very important. Some things may cause controversy if published. It is not good to use your own name to sign, which may easily lead to disputes.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Master Zhang, don't worry! Master, you can choose a name. When you don't use your real name in the future, you can just use this name."

"This name is only known by our internal people. Outsiders cannot know it."

The name is equivalent to the author's pen name.

"That's great! Very good!" Zhang Xuansu stroked his beard and smiled. Kong Yingda and Yu Zhining also nodded with satisfaction.

"Three masters! I still have things to do! I won't keep the three masters." Li Chengqian said.

"Old ministers, take your leave!" Zhang Xuansu and the other two hurriedly bowed and took their leave.

Li Chengqian went to Chongxian Hall and Chongwen Hall again, and selected a group of direct scholars to serve as editors, and the guards of the Eastern Palace served as reporters, responsible for bringing back some news.

Li Chengqian divided the newspaper into five pages. The first page talked about current affairs, political commentary, new decrees issued by the court, memorials of ministers in the court, and other political matters.

The second page talked about biographies, mainly compiling the glorious deeds of famous officials and some good deeds, etc. All those that met the standards were published here.

The third page talked about literary publications related to literature, which mainly published some poems and songs.

The fourth page published weather forecasts.

The fifth page, which was the last page, was the gg page.

gg, gg, let it be known!gg The layout will be the main source of income for the newspaper in the future. After all, the newspaper also needs funds to operate.

Without money, how can we run a newspaper? We can't let the court support us all the time!

After Li Chengqian finished the layout of the newspaper, he also designed a pattern of two dragons playing with a pearl on the newspaper.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the official release tomorrow to try it out.

After all, this is the first time that a newspaper has been issued to the general public, and the effect is still unknown. Li Chengqian decided to try issuing it in Chang'an County and Wannian County first.

Li Chengqian planned to let His Majesty Li II give a title to the newspaper before it was issued. Li Chengqian gave the names of several newspapers and went to the palace for His Majesty Li II to choose.

Li Chengqian not only wants to publish newspapers, but also magazines and weekly magazines in the future.

"Is this the name you want me to give to the newspaper?" Li Er looked at the paper handed over by Li Chengqian, on which were written several words for naming newspapers.

Such as Datang 6:30, Datang Evening News, Datang Morning News, Datang Daily News, Datang Evening News, etc.

"These are all carefully selected by your son. The words are short and the meaning is simple. The people will know what they are as soon as they hear them!" Li Chengqian said.

Li Er nodded, thinking that what Li Chengqian said made sense, and Li Er's eyes fell on the paper again.

Li Er picked up the pen and crossed out Datang 6:30 on the paper. What the hell is 6:30?

Li Er shook his head and crossed out a few names. After a round of screening, Li Er circled the four words "Da Tang Daily" without hesitation and wrote the four big words "Da Tang Daily" on the newspaper.

"How do you plan to distribute these newspapers?" Li Er put down his brush and asked.

"I plan to distribute the first batch of newspapers in Chang'an County and Wannian County now. I don't know how the sales will be yet, so I will print 3,000 copies for the time being and distribute them every three days to see how the results are." Li Chengqian said.

He didn't know how to operate a newspaper in the Tang Dynasty. He could only take out some first and try it out before making plans.

This was also the first step to open up the market.

"Father, this time I came here, in addition to asking you to write an inscription for the newspaper, I also need to report your glorious deeds, let your image take root in the hearts of the people, and guide your majesty in the right direction with your father's philosophy of governing the country." Li Chengqian said, this is the main purpose of his visit this time.

How can political newspapers be without the ruling principles of the imperial leader.

Li Er's eyes lit up after hearing this. If this works, it can help him better suppress the gentry and concentrate imperial power.

"Okay! It's up to you. Is there anything I need to do?" Li Er asked.

"Just report your deeds in governing the Tang Dynasty over the years, and your guidance on some political policies such as the future development direction of the Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian said.

Li Er thought about it, picked up some representative deeds, and then gave some explanations and guidance on the future development direction of the Tang Dynasty.

The father and son talked about some things about newspapers, and Li Chengqian got up and left.

He needed to go back and have someone color and layout the glorious deeds of His Majesty Li Er and some future development trends, and they must be completed tomorrow.

This glorious and great task was handed over to the editor of the front page, the Proofreader of the Secretariat, Xu Jingzong.

With a stroke of his pen, Xu Jingzong wrote the glorious deeds of His Majesty Li Er vividly and flattered the leader. In addition to praising His Majesty Li Er, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, on the front page, Xu Jingzong also flattered the Crown Prince without leaving any trace.

You have to flatter the big leader, and you have to flatter the small leader, not to mention the future big leader.

The newspaper was typed! The printing team worked overnight to print out 3,000 copies of the newspaper before dawn.

"Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale! Three cents for a copy of the Tang Daily. It has everything you need for home travel, life and entertainment. You can know everything about the world without leaving home..."

The next morning, in the streets of Chang'an, you can see small figures hawking on the streets.

Everyone was curious about what this newspaper was! So someone bought the first copy driven by curiosity.

Seeing someone taking the lead, more and more people will naturally follow suit and buy newspapers.

The headlines of the newspapers are naturally the important speeches of the leaders of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the development plans for the future of the Tang Dynasty, the political guidelines, and the release of some political information such as the development policies of the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to these, the Qintianjian also released the weather forecast for the next two days to escort the travelers.

The literature section published some poems and songs by famous scholars.
