The fastest and latest novel is in /San/Jiang/Ge/, thank you book friends for providing this chapter.
The five young people brought by Wang Yuanzhi, none of them over 30 years old, had so nervous expressions because of the first close encounter with the legendary emperor grandson.
However, Yan Li noticed one of them, although his expression was a little nervous, his eyes were full of excitement.
"What's your name?" Yan Li asked him.
"Xiaguan Yuen Long, the nine-pin official of the Department of Calligraphy of the Ministry of Industry."
Yan Li couldn't help showing interest in her face when she heard that the other party was Yuen Long.
"So you are Yuen Long. I heard that you wrote a good article."
"Don't dare!" Yuen Long hurriedly said modestly, but he was inexplicably excited. I didn't expect the emperor grandson to know him too. You know, the emperor grandson is the future emperor of Dayun. If he can get his fancy, Tengda will be brilliant in the future.
In the Tianhuang Continent, the whole people cultivated martial arts and established the country by martial arts. Therefore, the status of literati is not high. Many times they acted as staff and schoolbags.
But Yan Li from the earth doesn't think very much. In his view, knowledge is the primary productive force, and civil servants are better at governing the country.
"What's your name?" Yanli glanced over the other four young people.
"Return to the emperor's grandson, subordinate to the official post, and subordinate to the audit department of the Ministry of Industry."
"Return to the emperor's grandson, the next official Zhong Yao, the young official of the Audit Department of the Ministry of Industry."
"Return to the emperor's grandson, subordinate Liu Da, and the young official of the Audit Department of the Ministry of Industry."
"Return to the emperor's grandson, Xu Haoshan, the next official, the young official of the Audit Department of the Ministry of Industry."
After listening to the self-introductions of the five members of Yuen Long, Yan Liming sent a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to the five, and said, "My palace will give you an exam question, based on the Great Qin Kingdom and the barbarians. And write an article about it."
"Yes."
The five people nodded in response, then picked up their pens one after another, thought about it, and started writing.
Fifteen minutes later, all five of them put down their pens one after another, and the little **** who was waiting next to them took their articles to Yan Li.
After reading the articles of five people one by one, Yan Li was quite satisfied. Although there was suspicion between the articles, the narration of the whole matter was very pertinent and detailed.
But in general, Yuen Long has the most beautiful writing style among the five, and the writing is very clear. (Baidu search network updates the fastest and most stable)
When Yan Li read their article, the five people in Yuen Long looked more nervous.
Putting down their articles, Yan Li slowly said, "The articles are well written."
When the five people heard the words, their expressions became more relaxed.
"If this palace asks you to create a newspaper, the five of you may do it."
"Newspaper?"
All five of them looked suspicious, wondering what the "newspaper" was in the mouth of the emperor's grandson?
"In simple terms, newspapers are printed publications that publish news and current affairs reviews on a regular basis. It is an important carrier of mass communication and has the function of reflecting and guiding public opinion."
After listening to his explanation, the five still don't understand.
Seeing the look of the five people who were still puzzled, Yan Li was a little helpless. "Let’s put it this way, this newspaper is something new in the empire, such as marriage in the palace, or promotion of a minister, or embezzlement of a minister. To the prison and so on."
Now, all five of them have come to understand, but there are some taboos in their hearts. The general people are very taboo about royal and official affairs. Even if they talk about it, they can only quietly talk about it. If they are posted on paper and spread, Will this cause dissatisfaction from the royal family and officials?
Next, Yan Li told them how many sections a newspaper should be divided into, and what kind of news should be written in each section.
After a few of them figured out what to do with the newspaper, Yan Li said solemnly, "In this way, this newspaper is called "Dayun Daily", with Yuen Long as the editor-in-chief, and the other four people each serve as a section of the newspaper. The editor-in-chief, at the same time, merged the Printing Department of the Ministry of Industry into the newly established News Department. Also, the News Department is first linked to the Ministry of Industry. As for the grade? The editor-in-chief leads the fourth-rank official position, and the chief editor leads the fifth-rank official position."
When the five members of Yuen Long heard it, they were first taken aback, and then, their faces were full of surprises. They were originally ninth-level officials. Unexpectedly, they even went up to level four or five in a blink of an eye. This is what they dream of. Unexpected thing.
"I'm so shocked, what are you doing, don't hurry up to thank you!" Wang Yuanzhi reminded him.
"Thanks to the emperor, grandson!" The five people awakened like a dream, and bowed down.
After that, Yan Li discussed some details with the five people and passed on some experience to them before letting them leave.
The five members of Yuen Long did not disappoint Yan Li. In just three days, a brand-new newspaper appeared on his desk. However, the content in it was a bit monotonous. This is not inevitable. After all, they just Contact, it would be great to be able to do this.
"Big Cloud Day Edition" is divided into three sections. The first is the state edition, which mainly introduces imperial policies and the like. The second is the entertainment edition. This section talks about some lace news from the officials of the dynasty and the imperial city. Some interesting things happened inside and outside.
The third section is the gossip version, mainly serializing some novels and jokes.
The first printing of 50,000 copies of newspapers is because printing cannot support the printing of 500,000 copies per day. Only after the printing department expands can the printing volume be increased.
In order to cultivate the people's habit of reading newspapers, Yan Li decided to give away newspapers for free in the previous month.
After getting affirmation from the Emperor Taisun, the five members of Yuen Long breathed a sigh of relief, and then arranged a large number of newsboys to distribute newspapers on the street.
In less than two hours, 10,000 newspapers will be completely distributed.
For novelties, no matter where they are, they feel very fresh.
People who can read all took a newspaper and looked with relish, and found that the newspaper mainly recorded three major events. The first talk about the event of the establishment of the "Dayun Daily", from today onwards, A newspaper will be published every day to repay the freshest news events in Dayun Country.
The second thing, this is the story of Yan Li being named the emperor grandson and getting married.
The third thing is that the empire will reduce taxes for citizens.
The Heavenly Desolate Continent, because the heavens and the earth are full of vitality, and the crops are growing well, therefore, there are very few people who cannot afford to eat, especially the Great Cloud Nation, which is the richest of the three empires.
Therefore, the taxes levied are also quite heavy. The first is a poll tax. Every citizen pays a dollar to the empire every year, and the second is a commercial tax.
Because Dayun Empire still focuses on agriculture, the country does not encourage business, because business taxation is relatively heavy, which is 30% of monthly income.
Yan Li from the earth naturally knows how important business is to a country. With the accelerated development of business, the citizens will become more prosperous. As the citizens become richer, the empire will naturally become stronger and stronger.
For the commercial tax, Yanli directly lowered it to 20%, and encouraged the people to do business. At the beginning, the six ministers were very opposed to reducing the tax.
After all, after-tax is the foundation of the country, and now it is directly reduced by 10%, wouldn't the income of the empire be greatly reduced?
Yanli only said, "If there are only 10,000 stores in the empire, each time the empire collects 30% of the tax revenue, the empire adds 20,000 more, or three more because of the reduction in taxes. Wanjia collects tax at 20%. Which one is more taxed?"
The reduction in business tax has added tens of thousands of shops in just one month. Although the tax revenue is less than 30%, Yan Li believes that this is only temporary and will increase in the future. more.
The benefits of tax cuts not only increase the number of shops, but also make the reputation of Emperor Yanli's grandson spread throughout the empire, and many businessmen have set up longevity tablets in their homes to worship.
In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed since Yan left the emperor and grandson to supervise the country, and his emperor and grandson's reputation gradually spread throughout the entire Dayun Empire.
"See the emperor grandson!"
"Dongliu, get up!"
Yan Li looked at Fan Dongliu, who was kneeling on the ground, a lot of thin and haggard, and couldn't help being touched. In the past six months, in order to establish Jin Yiwei, he spent almost all of his time on official duties and had very little time to rest. .
Of course, the effect is obvious. Although Jin Yiwei's spies have not yet developed across the country, there are secret intelligence stations established by Jin Yiwei in more than 2,000 counties and cities in 72 provinces.
As the saying goes, there are three fires for new officials to take office. On the surface, everyone is very cooperative with him, the emperor grandson, but in fact, he doesn't even have one-tenth of the power of the empire.
But after Jin Yiwei was established, it was different. They all became his eyes, and they could pass all the news in the empire to his desk.
Therefore, in the middle of this month, the number of officials he ordered to beheaded reached more than fifty, and the number of officials who were removed from office and imprisoned reached as many as hundreds.
Because of the vast territory of the empire, this has led to many local city owners in their own affairs, seeking huge profits for themselves as officials.
Corruption is inevitable in any era.
Relatively speaking, the salary of empire officials was pretty good, but it was only good. Therefore, after executing many officials, another decree was made to double the salary of all officials across the country.
Blindly using strong is not enough. Therefore, Yan Li adopts the strategy of hitting a stick to give a sweet date. Freezing three feet is not a day's cold. He wants to change the entire empire, so he has to take his time. It cannot be achieved overnight.
"Yes!"
Fan Dongliu slowly got up, and then handed a piece of paper to Yan Li's hand.
Unfolding the zhezi, Yanli's expression was cold. This is a zhezi about the Holy Gate. Because in this world, the Great Qin Kingdom and the Barbarians and the Dayun Kingdom are in a truce. Therefore, it should have been before May. The eruption of the Holy Gate did not erupt.
And still preparing secretly, and wooing some officials.
Zhezi, you have recorded a list of some officials, most of which are officials at the county magistrate level, and a small number are the prefects and generals of the city guard.
Fan Dongliu did not speak, but quietly waited for Yan Li's order.
Let down the zhezi lightly, but Yan Li's brows are tightly packed. Some time ago, he killed a group of officials. Now, there are thousands of officials, large and small, who are in collusion with the Sacred Gate.
If they were all arrested and killed, it would inevitably cause chaos in the officialdom. At the same time, if they were killed, there were not so many officials sent over.
"Don't touch them for now! But watch them closely!"
"Yes!"
"Well, go down! Remember to take a break~ IndoMTL.com~ Although official duties are important, in the eyes of this palace, talents are the most important!"
"Yes! Subordinates remembered!"
Fan Dongliu nodded his head, his eyes moist, and turned away.
Rubbing his head, Yan Li felt a little tired, not from his body, but from his mind. For the past six months, he has been dealing with things that he can't finish every day, and he has to set a new development path for Dayun Country. .
Now, the matter of the Sacred Gate has come up, thinking of the officials who colluded with the Sacred Gate, his heart is cold.
"What should I do?"
He frowned and thought hard, suddenly, he patted his forehead excitedly, "Why am I so stupid?"
