Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

The next day, Lin Shuangshuang found Bai Qiu Shui and told her something very important.

"In the territory of Dayu Dynasty, each county should find some people who are nimble, can read and write, and are good at asking questions. Give them BMWs and let them collect information from all over the place."

"And then send the message back as quickly as possible."

Bai Qiu Shui was not a person who liked to ask questions, but this time she was really curious.

"Boss, are you going to set up intelligence stations all over the country?"

Lin Shuangshuang was stunned, then smiled and said, "It's not that mysterious. I just want to run a newspaper and publish it."

"Newspapers?"

Seeing that she didn't understand, Lin Shuangshuang explained what a newspaper was.

"A newspaper is a periodic publication, such as a daily or weekly newspaper, that prints loose pages with the main content being news about the people, the court, politics, economy, culture, stories, anecdotes, etc."

"However, with the speed of our current transportation, the fastest we can do is weekly. Daily reports are impractical."

"For example, a weekly newspaper is published every seven days, and it records the latest news in those seven days."

"Seven days is a week, what does this mean?" Bai Qiu Shui didn't understand.

Lin Shuangshuang was speechless. She had forgotten that there was no concept of weekends in ancient times, nor was there the concept of a seven-day week.

There are rest days. One day in ten is a rest day. You can take a bath and rest on this day, so it is called a rest day, which is the weekend in ancient times.

Lin Shuangshuang thought for a moment and said, "A week consists of seven days, and the weekend is their day off. This is what they say overseas."

"Since we don't have the concept of weekends here, let's use our day off, called Mubao."

"It means publishing a newspaper every ten days so that everyone can read it on their days off and learn about anecdotes from all over the country, as well as the dynamics of the court."

Bai Qiu Shui quickly understood the meaning of the newspaper and also understood the significant impact it would have.

The boss said that it was not an intelligence station, but what she did was to collect information from all over the country, which was actually similar to an intelligence station.

"I'll do it as soon as possible."

Lin Shuangshuang advised: "Don't worry about the restaurant business, just focus on this matter."

"This matter is very important to me and the entire Dayu Dynasty."

"I have already reported the matter of publishing a newspaper to the emperor. This matter must have the emperor's support, otherwise our newspaper will not be able to continue."

Bai Qiu Shui thought about it and understood why she said that.

Because newspapers can not only publish interesting news from all over the country, but also record unjust, false and wrong cases, and local customs and folkways.

It is said that the emperor is far away and the sky is high. The county magistrate is the local emperor. He can do whatever he wants. As long as he does not make trouble for others, the emperor will not hear it.

Now that we have newspapers, if you dare to do anything that is against the law or involves corruption and bribery, it may be recorded in the newspaper accidentally.

Ten days later, not only the people of the whole country can see it, but even the emperor can see it.

Is this okay?

Those corrupt officials have joined hands to destroy newspapers and even kill the people who publish them.

When Lin Shuangshuang saw Bai Qiu Shui's face suddenly become serious, she knew that she had understood the seriousness of the situation.

"The memorial has not yet been sent to the capital, but we still have to prepare it first."

"Once the emperor approves, our first issue will be published immediately."

"Yes."

"You should get familiar with this thing first. It will be very useful in the future."

Lin Shuangshuang suddenly took out two walkie-talkies from her sleeves.

"What is this?"

Ever since Lin Shuangshuang came back from overseas, Bai Qiu Shui has seen too many strange things and is no longer surprised, but he is still curious about the purpose of each thing.

As long as Lin Shuangshuang says that something has great use, it must be a good thing.

Bai Qiu Shui is also a person who is good at accepting new things, so she doesn't mind Lin Shuangshuang taking out some things she is not familiar with from time to time.

On the contrary, I like research and study very much.

"Intercom."

"This is the latest overseas version, and the maximum call distance is one hundred miles."

"That is to say, if you are standing in Nanyangzhou, a hundred miles away, and talking to me, I can hear you."

Bai Qiushui's jaw almost dropped: "Is this true?"

“Is there such a magical thing?”

Lin Shuangshuang shrugged: "Just try it and you'll know."

Bai Qiu Shui actually tried it. After Lin Shuangshuang taught her how to use it, she rode out on her own.

He ran dozens of miles in one breath, and then talked to Lin Shuangshuang with anticipation, nervousness and trepidation.

"Boss, this is amazing."

"As long as we have enough walkie-talkies, it won't be a dream for us to publish a daily newspaper."

"If we arrange a walkie-talkie every 100 miles, wouldn't news from all over the country reach you in minutes?"

Bai Qiu Shui held the walkie-talkie, his tone extremely excited.

Lin Shuangshuang smiled helplessly: "In theory, it's possible, but can you deliver newspapers to all parts of the country within one day?"

“Doesn’t transportation take time?”

"We don't have the transportation to travel across the country in one day."

"Forget about publishing a daily newspaper. Let's just publish a weekly... Mu newspaper."

A basin of cold water was poured over her, and Bai Qiu Shui calmed down instantly. It was indeed her fantasy.

Even if it were possible, it would not be practical to set up a newspaper office every hundred miles and have the content to be printed each day dictated via walkie-talkie.

After all, it is oral narration, and the newspaper needs to be typeset, and as an official newspaper, the content must be rigorous, accurate and true.

If newspapers across the country are different, even if the content is similar, but the layout is so varied, it would be a joke.

Moreover, setting up a newspaper office every hundred miles would cost a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. Who could afford such expenses?

The imperial court can certainly afford it, but can the Ministry of Revenue be willing to spend the money?

The money from the national treasury must be spent on the most important things, and naturally will not be spent on these trivial matters.

Although she understood the importance of newspapers, she did not expect the people of the country to understand.

In the eyes of the common people, if the imperial court could give them one more bowl of porridge during a natural disaster, they could live one more day.

What's a newspaper? Even if you are given a stack of newspapers, can you survive?

But if the boss were to pay for this, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to make back the cost.

Think about it, forget it!

It would be more appropriate to just run Mubao honestly!

Bai Qiu Shui calmed down and rode back on horseback.

"How is it? How is the effect?"

Bai Qiushui looked at the walkie-talkie in his hand and got excited again: "It's really a good thing."

"Boss, how many of these do you have?"

"Not many, maybe a few dozen. It's impossible for everyone to have one."

"Leave one here first. After you find all the reporters, find a few capable people whom you trust and send them out."

Bai Qiu Shui's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly. This thing was really important to her.

Bai Qiu Shui could already imagine the scene of mountains of gold and silver.
