Chapter 393 Ownership of the News Department
"This time, smallpox was not only eradicated by you in Wu County. In addition, with the cooperation of your news department, it was perfect!"

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Li Chengqian finally couldn't help talking about the purpose of this trip.

"Hey, this is just picking people's teeth, I'm just a porter!"

Ding Yi waved his hands without pride, but in Li Chengqian's view, this was invisible pretense~
"Porter?" Li Chengqian didn't understand the meaning, but it didn't prevent him from continuing.

"This time the people's mood can be stabilized so quickly, thanks to your news department! Although the court has always had obituaries, it didn't have much effect!"

Obituaries are useless once Ding has seen them.

The government posted the obituary, and the people didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing, and it didn't have as many leaflets as the opening of Junfeng's industry, so how could the people know about it!
"This newspaper has the same function as an obituary, but the effect is worse in the method!"

"I would like to hear the details!" Li Chengqian sat up straight and said solemnly.

Ask a question, the etiquette of the ancients is still very particular!

Seeing that he was so solemn, Ding also sat up and analyzed the newspaper for Li Chengqian from beginning to end.

After listening, Li Chengqian couldn't calm down anymore!
How can such a newspaper control the hearts of the people?
Thinking of the smallpox this time, Li Chengqian believed it!
Li Chengqian asked some more questions about the newspaper, and Ding Yi asked: "I'm afraid His Highness is not here just to ask these questions!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, Li Chengqian waited for Ding Yi to mention it, but Ding Yi didn't respond for a long time and started to lead here, but asked so many questions about the newspaper.

This also made him pay more attention to the government's takeover of the Ministry of Information this time, and he should not blindly follow the mentality of 'what's mine is mine'!
"Hahaha, you, you asked the truth! Xiao Qing told me about the news department before, and asked me to recommend it to the father. Now it's all right, and it's back again!"

Ding Yidao: "The News Department is not yet suitable for private or individual management, and the imperial court has no experience before. Therefore, we can only make a bad move so that His Majesty and all officials can see its role, so that it can be taken seriously!"

If he suggested that Li Er set up a news department, the final result could only be nondescript, because he had never seen the power of the newspaper at all.

"You are still thoughtful, but now that the court has approved it, what do you think should be done?" Li Chengqian didn't seem to be here for negotiation, but rather for advice!
Ding Yi expressed his thoughts, but Li Chengqian felt a little dissatisfied, and the two began to argue again.

The two sides come and go, Ding Yi wants to keep his little bit of rights, and Li Chengqian wants to control the Ministry of Information as much as possible in the hands of the court.

Finally, when the servant girl told them to have lunch, the two reached an agreement!

The news department is still the same news department, but with some people and positions added!
The imperial court dispatched six officials to be mainly responsible for the review. They were Li Er's eyes, watching the Ministry of Information not to release some news that was not conducive to the imperial court.As much news as possible that is beneficial to the court and can appease the hearts of the people.

As for the operation and funding of the Ministry of Information, it is completely funded by the imperial court. Li Chengqian was a little hesitant about this before. After all, he came to negotiate, and in the end he put an extra burden on the imperial court. This is because he did not do enough!
Under Ding Yi's cryptic reminder, Li Chengqian understood that the Ministry of Information could not be an organization funded by Ding Yi alone and cooperating with the imperial court. In this way, the Ministry of Information would not be Ding Yi's backyard, he could come whenever he wanted!

The salaries of all the people in the news department are paid by the imperial court, and the same goes for the people who enter Ding Yi's side.

At the same time, after the court became familiar with the operation, all of Ding Yi's people would withdraw, but this was Ding Yi's intention.

In the end, Ding Yi suggested that the imperial court issue some laws on news, effectively restricting some people who want to use it!

Regarding these issues, after Li Chengqian went back to report, Ma Zhou and people from the court will discuss them.

The news department was founded by Ma Zhouyi, and he also has experience in the legal department, which is handy for him.

When Ding Yi said this, he didn't take Ma Zhou's meaning into consideration at all.

Because he knew that although Ma Zhou stayed with him, he just wanted to take advantage of the wind, and it was impossible for him to build a small court independently of the court, otherwise Li Er would kill him!
After reaching a consensus, Li Chengqian was satisfied, and Ding Yi led him to the restaurant.

In fact, he doesn't need to be cited, Li Chengqian is very familiar with it!
"Huh? Brother! When did you come?" Li Tai, who sat at the dinner table early, asked in surprise.

Li Ke also saluted and greeted.

One of the two brothers was busy with the police department, and the other was busy with the research institute, so they didn't even know Li Chengqian was coming.

"Looking for Ding Yi for some matters, you two rushed to Shiping in a hurry, and the queen mother often complained to the emperor!" Li Chengqian did not say the purpose of his visit.

And I don't mind the two of them sitting at the dinner table with such a big face, this is not the imperial palace, the rules in Ding Yi's house are simply a "Cultivation Manual for How to Disrupt Etiquette and Destroy Music"!
"Well... in a few days, after returning to Beijing to visit my mother in a few days, I don't have time recently!" Li Tai said.

"What do you have time for?" Li Chengqian didn't know what Li Tai was doing these days, otherwise he wouldn't have asked such a question.

Hearing what the elder brother said, Li Tai became interested. He competed with the elder brother for the throne before, but finally gave up. Although he was willing, he still wanted to compete with the elder brother.

Seizing this opportunity now, how could Li Tai not show off!

"It's nothing, it's all about the application of mechanics to build a machine that saves manpower." Li Tai said nonchalantly, still looking at Li Chengqian.

Sure enough, upon hearing such an answer, Li Chengqian wisely shut up, he didn't understand!
Li Ke didn't have such thoughts, but he also had the same bad taste!

"Brother, how long will you stay? Do you want to visit my police office? Let me tell you, my police office is much more useful than Wucheng Bingmasi and the county government!"

"..."

He agreed to visit the police station, and endured his nausea, he agreed to Li Tai's Institute of Knowledge and Knowledge.

I can finally eat in peace!
During the dinner, Ding Yi, Li Tai, and Li Ke started a discussion around Shiping's development. Li Chengqian remained silent and kept picking dishes.

After the meal, Li Chengqian was deeply shocked after visiting the police department of the research institute. After returning to Beijing, he must talk about these two places with his father.

"Aren't you going back to Chang'an? Now you are the minister of the Ministry of Industry. If you don't go back, I'm afraid Father will send someone to arrest you and go back!" Li Chengqian stood in front of the carriage and looked at Ding Yi who was seeing him off.

"Tomorrow, there are still some things to arrange today!"

At this time, the guard of the Ding residence hurried over and said, "Young master, there is a girl visiting outside the door, saying..."

"Say it's your student!"
