Those who guide the people correctly will spontaneously agree, support the ruler, dedicate themselves to the ruler, and feel glorious and great.

This is actually a win-win for the people themselves and for the rulers.

Faith, on the other hand, is only beneficial to those who govern the faith, and is of no use to the common people.

Li Shimin nodded after hearing this, and quickly asked, "What should I do?"

"Um~"

Li Tai pondered for a while, this really overwhelmed me.

After thinking about it for a while, I came up with a way to control public opinion—newspapers.

Pinyin can improve the cultural level of the people, so that newspapers can have more consumers.

Otherwise, if you buy it back, you can only wipe your butt, which is too expensive.

Moreover, there was block printing in the Tang Dynasty, and movable type printing could be produced as long as it was improved.

As for the selection of land, many buildings left by the Taoist school can be requisitioned, and there is no need to spend too much money on construction.

As for newsboys and reporters, there are a lot of poor scholars.

Consumers have pinyin, technical support has movable type printing, localities also have abandoned Taoist temples, and poor scholars work as newsboys and reporters.

From the present point of view, all the conditions are met, and newspapers and newspapers can emerge naturally.

Thinking of this, Li Tai said, "My son thought that newspapers could be published."

"What is a newspaper?" Li Shimin asked very puzzled.

"Reporting the affairs of the world is all on one piece of paper, which is the newspaper." Li Tai explained slowly.

"???" Li Shimin frowned and asked, "What do you need, how to guide it, and how much does it cost?"

"It's a long story..." Li Tai couldn't explain clearly for a while.

"That's a long story short."

"..." Li Tai was speechless, poured himself a cup of tea and began to speak slowly.

"My son thinks this way, let's try it in Chang'an first.

Let people recompile the pinyin dictionary first to increase the number of literate people.

Secondly, we can sell two sheets of rice paper, on which some major national events are published.

For example, the Tianche and the Shenli were obtained by the emperor's painstaking efforts, and then the emperor is so holy. "

Li Shimin's face turned dark...

Li Tai hurriedly terminated: "Except for publishing some important national events.

It is also possible to publish some heroic deeds, such as Yu Chigong's body is covered with scars, the wind and rain are unbearable pain, how bad he made those enemies. "

Li Shimin immediately said: "How much did Yu Chigong give the emperor???"

Li Tai said speechlessly: "...This is just an example.

It can be that Yu Chigong is a hero, or it can be that Fang Xuanling is roaring east of the river.

Even published the widow stealing people in Lantian County.... "

Li Shimin's eyes widened: "How is this possible? And how did the emperor know?"

Li Tai said speechlessly.

"It's just an example, not real.

Appreciating both refined and popular tastes, state affairs are divided into half, and the other half is about the lives of civilians in the form of stories.

National affairs can make people agree, support and love, and civilian life can make people distinguish right from wrong.

A two-pronged approach can guide the people's will. "

"Ahem, I understand." Li Shimin nodded repeatedly.

Chapter 46 I recently learned Pinyin

Li Shimin thought for a while and asked: "The cost of the newspaper is not low!

Newspapers, paper, ink, craftsmen, etc. all need money.

How should these be resolved? The treasury cannot be spent, right? "

"The imperial court contributes articles, and the Wu family contributes money and effort.

The samurai family are businessmen, materials and labor are naturally available, and they will also keep the cost to a minimum.

After the finished product comes out, each newspaper is priced and sold with small profits but quick turnover.

The proceeds from the sale will be divided into [-]% after deducting the cost.

Once the trial in Chang'an is successful, the business model can be promoted throughout the Tang Dynasty by relying on the channels of Wujia merchants.

In this way, a win-win situation was achieved. The Wu family earned a little money and at the same time guided the hearts of the people.

"So that's the case, the emperor is thoughtful.

So Huang'er's actions against the Taoist and Wu families are all for this newspaper? "

Li Shimin asked suspiciously.

Pinyin literacy provides more consumers, Taoism provides Taoist places, Wujia publishes, and provides content to gather people's hearts.

This series of operations is beyond imagination.

"I said no, does Emperor Father believe it?" Li Tai said with black lines.

"Eh~!" Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then said in a firm tone, "Believe me!"

Li Tai reminded: "By the way, father, the newspaper has to pass the law."

"Law?" Li Shimin was puzzled.

"Newspapers can guide people's hearts. This is a huge blow to Confucianism and Buddhism. It is inevitable that they will come to make trouble."

"Do they dare?" Li Shimin's eyes widened immediately, and his voice was raised.

Looking at the angry Li Shimin, Li Tai smiled wryly.

"Even if they don't dare, they can still imitate, come to Confucianism Newspaper, Buddha Newspaper...

Write up some demagogic things and spread them. "

"Indeed." Li Shimin thought for a while.

"It should be restricted by law, but Datang has not been convicted of inappropriate speech since ancient times!"

If the important thing was to be convicted for his speech, Wei Zheng would have died long ago, but although he died of illness, his grave was dug up and whipped after his death.

There is no need to think about it, Li Tai said to Li Shimin with a black line on his head.

"You can create a name to prevent them from publishing directly, or simply raise taxes to control what they publish. There is always a way."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Well, the emperor has thought about this matter carefully, and I will play it a little bit, and I will also think about it.

By the way, is there a good candidate for the emperor to rebuild the dictionary? "

Li Tai was lost in thought.

The achievement of rebuilding the dictionary can be said to be quite great.

I already have the merits of Quyuanli and the drum car, which is enough.

To whom?

Li Tai didn't have a suitable candidate for a while.

"What do you think, father?"

Li Shimin took it for granted: "This kind of achievement can last forever and be passed down through the ages.

Not afraid of the emperor's jokes, I also want to share some credit. "

Li Tai: "..."

I guessed that you, Li Er, would not let go of this good opportunity to publicize your reputation.

Li Shimin said again: "In addition to Zhen, you can also write the names of Zhu Suiliang, Changsun Wuji and other civil servants.

Although the big families didn't say anything about Huang'er's actions towards the Wu family, they were panicked in their hearts, and it was right to give them something to comfort them.

When the time comes, when the newspaper is out, they will help. "

Li Tai nodded after hearing this, and said, "Then follow what the emperor said about this matter!"

"Well, come with me to the imperial study, and I will hurry to summon the important ministers to discuss the recompilation of the dictionary."

"Yes."

Li Shimin got up and walked out the door, followed closely by Li Tai.

As soon as Li Shimin opened the door, he saw Wei Zheng walking restlessly in the courtyard.

"Your Majesty!" Wei Zheng questioned.

When he was in the room just now, he was so excited that he didn't think about the policy of obscuring the people, and he didn't understand why Li Shimin let him out.

It wasn't until I came out that I figured it out, the policy of fooling the people!

For a while, he didn't know whether it was good or bad, and whether he would be banned directly.

It is undoubtedly a sacred act to educate the people, but do the court and the people really need to educate?

Do they really need to know so many words?

It seems that the vast majority of people will not go abroad, is it necessary to learn English?

Wei Zheng hopes that this thing can be spread enough, but also very doubts whether this pinyin will be directly banned by Li Shimin.

Looking at the uneasy Wei Zheng, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aiqing, let's discuss the compilation of the pinyin and dictionary with me!"

This dispelled Wei Zheng's worry, and instead turned into confusion.

Why did Li Shimin agree?

You must know that Confucianism and the major families have monopolized knowledge, and at the same time blocked the road to the imperial examination.

Li Shimin's sentence, the heroes of the world are in the urn, seems very heroic.

But in fact, only two or three people are admitted each year, and they all join the Wu family.

"Go, call the important ministers, I have something important to discuss!!" Li Shimin turned his head and said to the eunuch.

"Yes!"

It didn't take long.

The minister who had just finished eating was called to a side hall by Li Shimin with a puzzled expression on his face.

Everyone looked at the neatly arranged tables and chairs, and felt like they were back in the academy again.

"This~ what happened here?"

"You ask me, I don't know either."

"Don't look at me, I was called back before I got home."

"Wei Wang and Wei Zheng are also here?"

"What's on the table??"

"Why is it like a ghost drawing talisman??"

Everyone didn't understand, so they looked at the neatly arranged table and the 26 pinyin letters on the table in a daze.

At this time, Li Shimin walked in with a smile all over his face, and he found a long bamboo stick from nowhere.

Looking at this shape, Li Tai returned to the era of studying in a trance, and saw the math teacher holding a ruler...

Really... I love pretending!

Li Shimin said to the crowd with a red face: "All loves, please find a seat at will!!"

"Your Majesty, this~" Zhu Suiliang looked at Li Shimin very confused, not knowing what Li Shimin was doing.
