Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

"Wonderful!"

After Zhu Yunhuan's explanation, Zhu Xuening recalled the previous topic. After a little thought, he guessed some of Zhu Yunhuan's intentions.

But she quickly frowned and shook her head.

"No...no..."

"To print and distribute in large quantities, and to have a new edition every day, first of all, this would require a huge amount of paper, and then we would have to carve the blocks and print them every day before distributing them. How is such a thing possible?"

Zhu Xuening quickly considered the problems that followed.

Although movable type printing was invented in the Song Dynasty.

But in fact, due to many reasons such as cost, technical difficulty, etc., movable type printing has not been truly applied.

It was not until the end of the Yuan Dynasty that Wang Zhen - yes, the guy Zhu Yunhuan was looking for, who invented the water-powered spinning machine - created wooden movable type and rotary typesetters, and the application of movable type printing became slightly more widespread.

But within a few years, the Yuan Dynasty fell into chaos and there was no time to promote it.

therefore.

In fact, most of the printed books on the market today are still printed using woodblock printing.

In Zhu Xuening's cognition.

One edition of the newspaper is produced every day, which means one woodblock is carved every day.

It's impossible to achieve.

Furthermore, large-scale printing requires a large amount of paper, which is also a high cost.

Zhu Xuening looked at Zhu Yunhuan with hesitation, but she saw that Zhu Yunhuan looked normal. "Papermaking and printing, I have ways to solve the problem. You don't have to worry about the money. What I have to do is to be responsible for the editing and typesetting of the newspaper content."

"Later, I will issue an edict to establish the Media Department, which will be in charge of my second sister."

"Papermaking...printing...are there any solutions?" Zhu Xuening widened her beautiful eyes in disbelief.

"You will know when the time comes." Zhu Yunhuan kept it a secret.

He has a lot of things on his hands now and has no time to popularize modern chemical knowledge or Wang Zhen's inventions.

And even if I explain it to them, they probably won’t understand it.

Seeing that Zhu Yunhuan had no intention of explaining in detail.

Zhu Xuening glanced at the memorials piled on the dragon desk and knew that Zhu Yunhuan was very busy with state affairs, so he naturally did not continue to ask.

Instead, he pondered for a moment and then said, "I will start to handle this matter."

Although she found it incredible at first.

But she understood one thing: the young man in front of her was not only her younger brother, but also the emperor!

Moreover, his younger brother possessed the composure to endure for ten years, the fortitude to seize the throne one day, and the means to quickly stabilize the court without bloodshed...

If you weren't sure about something, how could you be so confident? How could you be so confused about something like this?

and so……

Even if you don’t understand, even if you find it unbelievable.

All she had to do was to believe in Zhu Yunhuan and provide him with the greatest support he needed!

Following Zhu Yunhuan's decree.

Since then, the inner palace of the Ming Dynasty has added a new government office: the Media Department, which is headed by Zhu Xuening, the second eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Media Department is considered an inner court department.

However, Zhu Yunhuan's edict specifically stated that Zhu Xuening, as the seal holder, could arbitrarily call on officials from the Hanlin Academy to serve the Media Department.

Anyway, this group of Confucian scholars were responsible for compilation, revision, and organization.

Therefore, the Media Department was a department between the inner court and the external government offices, and was directly responsible to Zhu Yunhuan.

of course.

Some people in the court still had complaints about this.

However, Princess Zhu Xuening's identity is noble after all, so it is not that difficult to accept. Moreover, Zhu Yunhuan has the Huaixi troll team, so the criticism is just criticism.

Zhu Yunhuan sometimes feels...

If things continue like this, he'll be reluctant to leave these trolls.

The next few days.

Zhu Yunhuan handled court affairs step by step, watching the sweet potato vines slowly grow more leaves, and communicating with Zhu Xuening about the content and some details of the newspaper.
