Chapter 155 Public opinion is very important (3)
"That may not necessarily be a rebellion? Maybe, maybe..." Changsun Wuji wanted to give an example to refute, but he really couldn't think of a suitable one.
Li Mu rescued him and said, "No matter what purpose it is, he prints it privately and does not pass the government. He must have selfish intentions and is worried that he will not pass the government's review. If he wants to establish the majesty of the court, he must prohibit private operations from being handled by the people. Since it is to be banned, it must be banned, otherwise as long as there is a loophole, it is a hidden danger!"
Although Changsun Wuji still felt that it was inappropriate, he knew that this matter could not be said anymore, otherwise it would be a little unreasonable when it touched Li Shimin's sensitive nerves. Seeing that Changsun Wuji kept silent, Li Shimin nodded and said, "The newspapers and printing matters have no impact on the people's livelihood, so it's okay to prohibit them. I'm sure, Li Mu, let's talk about the second question raised by the auxiliary machine, how to solve it?"
“This matter cannot be resolved.”
"No?" Li Shimin said angrily: "Since it cannot be solved, what's the use of you saying so much just now?"
"This matter cannot be solved, but there are solutions. In Chang'an City, the court can publish the "Da Tang Daily", and a little farther away can choose a daily major event, and publish the "Da Tang Daily" for ten days. The further farther away will be changed to the "Da Tang Monthly Newspaper". The news can still be transmitted, but it is a little bit streamlined and slower. When the newspaper is mature in the future, a newspaper can be run in the Dongdu Luoyang and other five capitals. In this way, the five capitals will spread the news together, and the transmission will be faster."
"This is also a solution." Li Shimin's expression calmed down, and suddenly thought of something, saying, "Li Mu, you said this, but didn't say who compiled the daily content of this newspaper. I read the content you compiled today, and it was full of provocative words. You can't print such things every day."
Li Mu quickly said, "Your Majesty, even if you ask me to be responsible, I don't have that time. I think that doing articles is a literary matter, and you have to find literati for literary matters. Don't Your Majesty have Hongwenguan, Chongwenguan and Imperial College? Those doctors, students, and professors have nothing to do all day long. It's better to give them the best of their own things."
"But……"
"I know what Your Majesty is worried about. If Your Majesty is worried about their biased articles, it doesn't matter. They can check and balance each other."
“What are checks and balances between each other?”
"When selecting people who make money, choose one for poor students, choose one for noble students, choose one for noble students, choose one for a family student, and all forces come to do one for each other, and then they will make money on one thing, and then vote for each other, and publish the one with the most votes. Although this will not completely avoid bias, it can also be greatly reduced."
Li Shimin pursed his lips and thought for a while, saying, "This can reduce bias, but I am afraid that they will not work hard, if they are passive and lazy..."
"Your Majesty, what do you think these students are aiming at learning every day?"
"Of course, I will become an official in the imperial examination and enter the official career."
"Your Majesty might as well give them the right to listen like a daily man. After a while, choose the truly talented ones and reward one and half of the position. In this way, all the students will inevitably flock to you!"
Li Shimin laughed and pointed at Li Mu and said, "It seems that you are a little injured. You can come up with so many ideas at home. Okay, I will give you a chance. This matter is feasible or not. In a month, I will look at the results. If it is feasible, then set up an official office to take charge of this matter. If it is not feasible, it will be considered as a student taking the exam. When your injury is healed, you can choose the student to write articles. I will set up a position to walk in front of you first. A student is allowed to attend political affairs in the court every day. As for who has this opportunity, it is up to you. You can also use this to alleviate the conflicts between you and the students."
Li Mu pretended not to know and said, "Your Majesty, I have no conflicts with the students!"
"You made the Imperial College supervisor, Kong Yingda, a descendant of Confucius Sheng, so did you forget about this matter so quickly?"
"Ah!" Li Mu suddenly realized and sighed: "I think that his skills are not as good as others, so he should reflect on it. I didn't expect that these people who are studying are so small, how can they achieve great things? No wonder all the civil and military officials in the court were all from school. It seems that studying like them can't be a talent."
"Don't be arrogant!" Li Shimin said unhappily: "Although you are talented, you should not forget that there must be a teacher for three people. Hongwenguan, Chongwenguan, and Imperial College are all young talents selected by various places, so they should not be underestimated."
"I know my mistake, and I accept the order."
"Okay, you can recover from your injuries. I'm going to go to the Royal Horse Supervision to choose a good horse."
"ah?"
"It's not because of you." Li Shimin glared and said, "As soon as you published the Tang Dynasty Daily, everyone in Chang'an knew about the Marseille. I am also a horse lover, how could I miss it? I have to choose a good horse to compete for this first name!"
When Li Mu heard this, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, if you participate in the competition, who dares to beat you!"
"No need to remind you, I will arrange someone and will not reveal my identity." Suddenly, Li Shimin paused for a moment and said, "As for the mastermind behind the murderer, I believe you have a clear idea. I would like to remind you that if you don't have the confidence to win, it's okay to endure for a while. If you continue to entangle, you may not necessarily have any result."
"Thank you to remind me that the adoptive father said the same."
Li Shimin said again: "I have brought you some secret palace medicines for making golden sores. You can use them. They are made by Sun Simiao and Sun Zhenren. They should be more effective than what you use now."
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace..." As he said that, Li Mu was about to 'struggle' again. Li Shimin frowned and said, "Okay, stop acting, I'm leaving!"
"I really hurt my butt and can't give the full tribute, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Li Mu shouted 're earnestly', Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji had already walked away.
Bai Qiaoqiao came in from outside the door and said, "Husband, you can't treat Your Majesty like this. What if Your Majesty gets angry?"
Li Mu took Bai Qiaoqiao's hand and said, "Madam, I'm worried about these useless things. The emperor's heart is hard for ordinary people to guess. Your Majesty let me make trouble now because he can use me. As long as I am still an irreplaceable person around him, even if I make trouble, Your Majesty will tolerate it. But if one day I'm useless, even if I act humble, Your Majesty will be angry. Can you understand what I mean?"
Bai Qiaoqiao nodded and said, "Husband, what if there is one day?"
"What if..." Li Mu thought about it, suddenly laughed, and said, "When that day, I guess I'll save enough money. Before His Majesty bothered me, we will leave Chang'an and run far away so that he can't catch him!"
