Chapter 798

"Why not?" Shi Anxia held up her chin, "As long as she is happy, she can do anything. We just need to protect her."

Cen Yuan smiled lightly, "Mr. Chu Sheng..."

Even the pen name was chosen. Fortunately, it was not called "Layman". Ever since the scandal of Layman Mei Xiu, no one wants their name to be associated with "Layman".

Those who were originally called "laymen" also began to curse others, saying that one bad apple spoils the whole barrel.

Shi Anxia said, "I think many people think that 'Mr. Chu Sheng' is a man. That's good. It will save my mother a lot of trouble. Who is doing the printing and distribution?"

Cen Yuan responded while reading the manuscript, "Now Fourth Uncle Luo is in charge." After a pause, he continued, "I originally had a surprise for you, so I'll tell you now. An issue of the Yijing Weekly will be published today. I've already discussed it with Emperor Mingde and have also communicated with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites."

"Yingjing Weekly?" Shi Anxia was surprised.

Cen Yuan put down the manuscript and patiently explained, "It's just like the court bulletin now. The difference is that the court bulletin is only circulated between the court and local government offices. The Yijing Weekly is different. It is distributed among the people. From court officials to peddlers, anyone can buy it and read it as long as they spend money."

This requires that the printing speed keep up, and movable type printing plays a significant role.

The first thing that came to Anxia's mind was, "So is the Yijing Weekly considered a private publication or a court publication?"

"Now it is half official and half civilian." Cen Yuan knew the importance of information. This was the first bucket of cold water he poured on the nations, allowing them to directly experience the civilization of the North Wing.

Just imagine when the people of the capital were rushing to pass around and buy newspapers in the streets and alleys, with information so developed and so open, what a great impact it would have on envoys from various countries.

Psychologically, if you make them afraid before the battle, you will lose 10%.

The North Wing, they would think, was unfathomable.

Even if one day we decide to go to war, we must consider whether our country's information transmission speed can match that of a civilization like the Northern Wing.

Because the nations came suddenly, the newspaper that he was originally going to publish half a year later was brought forward to now.

After Cen Yuan communicated with Emperor Mingde, all official procedures were simplified and expedited, and special officials were assigned to handle them for him.

Shi Anxia was shocked when she heard this, "Fortunately it's Emperor Mingde, if we change the emperor..."

Cen Yuan is dead!

Which emperor would let such a person go to another country? He can't be used for his own purposes, so he would rather kill him than let him go.

The movable type printing technique alone was earth-shattering enough. But Cen Yuan said that movable type printing was not invented by him, but by a man named Bi Sheng.

In fact, Cen Yuan had never done this in his previous life. As Shi Anxia said, if it were Emperor Rongguang, he would kill him at any time for this.

Cen Yuan prepared for this newspaper for nearly three years before he secretly asked the Luo family to make enough movable type using copper.

Nowadays, if you want to publish a newspaper, you can do it immediately.

Cen Yuan also gave Shi Anxia a brief introduction to the content and layout of "Yingjing Weekly".

Shi Anxia was more and more curious as she listened, "How on earth did you come up with all this?"

Cen Yuan smiled bitterly. If she knew the distance from Beiyi to Liang State, and that only a computer or a mobile phone was needed to transmit information in seconds, that would be amazing.

He hopes to bring things that are beneficial to social development to the ancient times that exist today, and even more to the North Wing that his little girl loves.

However, he gave Uncle Luo a death order that "movable type printing" must not be spread outside and must be kept secret. At least before he lets on, the outside world cannot know anything about it.

Cen Yuan put the manuscript aside. "These stories written by my mother can be published after a few revisions. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we will make a 'Martial Arts Examination Special Issue', using my mother's article as an example, and then hold a 'Martial Arts Examination Essay Contest' to encourage literati and scholars to participate."

Those who recite poems recite poems, those who tell stories tell stories, creating a culture of respecting martial arts.

After the two finished their breakfast, Cen Yuan left first.

The military examination begins today and is hosted by the Ministry of War.

The Imperial Examination Hall in the capital city had both civil and military examination halls, with the military hall being to the east of the civil hall.

At the same time, today is also the day when the first private newspaper in Beiyi, Yijing Weekly, was born. On it is the inscription of Emperor Mingde: The mountains and rivers will be forever stable, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe.

When the newspaper was placed on Emperor Mingde's desk, he sighed again, "Fortunately, this is my son-in-law..."
