Chapter 412 Establishment of the Great Qin Newspaper Company
The court was silent as everyone pondered Ying Wuyou's intentions in arranging things. The positions of the princes and princesses appeared to be equal, but in reality, they concealed hidden agendas. Ying Gaoshan held a high position but had no real power, Ying Yunman's Public Opinion Bureau had direct access to the royal court, and Ying Nian's Compilation Bureau, however, possessed the most valuable commercial intelligence.
Why would Ying Wuyou relinquish such an important position to Ying Nian? This question, like a riddle, lingered in everyone's minds, leaving them completely baffled. People began to speculate about Ying Wuyou's true intentions, and various theories quietly brewed in their minds.
However, contrary to everyone's guess, Ying Wuyou herself did not give it much thought. Her decision was not based on complex political maneuvering, but on a simple and direct judgment—that doing so was the most appropriate course of action.
In Ying Wuyou's view, everyone has their own strengths and advantages, and placing Ying Nian in the position of head of the compilation department is just the right way to give full play to his talents. Although Ying Wuyou and Ying Nian do not communicate much in private, she had noticed her cousin's talent as early as when she entered the palace school.
At that time, Ying Nian stood out among the many students. He was erudite, quick-witted, and had a strong interest in and in-depth study of various kinds of knowledge. Ying Wuyou believed that as long as Ying Nian was given enough space and opportunity, he would definitely shine in his position as the head of the editorial department.
Therefore, Ying Wuyou made this decision without hesitation. She hoped that her cousin could demonstrate his true strength in this important position and bring more glory and achievements to the Ying clan.
“Very well,” the King of Qin suddenly spoke up. “Proceed accordingly. Issue a decree: the Great Qin Newspaper Bureau shall be established immediately.” He glanced at Ying Wuyou and said, “I wish to see the detailed regulations in three days.”
After the court session ended, Ying Gaoshan and several others received imperial edicts one after another. This sudden edict surprised and overjoyed them.
They all understood perfectly well that, despite being the children of the King of Qin, he was not a father who was intimately connected with his children. Moreover, above them was their highly praised elder brother, Fusu; below them was their beloved younger son, Huhai. And later, the exceptionally capable Jiayang emerged.
Although Hu Hai had been inexplicably exiled to Baga Island, for his children, whose names even the King of Qin might not remember, if it weren't for Ying Wuyou leading them to start a newspaper, they would probably have remained unknown and forgotten for the rest of their lives.
However, the situation is now completely different. They have actually been granted official positions and are allowed to attend court meetings! How could this not fill them with immense excitement?
Several people hurried along, as if they had some urgent business, heading straight for the Chaohua Palace where Ying Wuyou was. Their hearts were filled with gratitude towards Ying Wuyou, but also with anticipation and uncertainty about the future.
These people knew that Ying Wuyou was not only the initiator of this newspaper, but also their guide in this field. Although they had some of their own ideas, they were unsure whether these ideas were correct or feasible. Therefore, they urgently hoped to receive guidance and advice from Ying Wuyou so that they could proceed more steadily on this path.
Along the way, they whispered among themselves, discussing their thoughts and doubts. Everyone was full of enthusiasm and anticipation, hoping to gain some valuable experience and insights from Ying Wuyou.
Finally, they arrived at the gates of Chaohua Palace. Standing at the entrance, they straightened their clothes slightly, took a deep breath, and then gently knocked on the palace gates.
Upon seeing the group, Ying Wuyou greeted them with a smile, and they returned the greeting. After they were seated, Ying Gaoshan said with a smile, "Jiayang, this arrangement is excellent. It allows us to utilize our strengths while also complying with the new regulations of the court."
Ying Gaoya nodded in agreement: "Yes, with such a clear division of responsibilities, the Newspaper Department will surely be able to handle things well." Ying Yueying and Ying Yunman also expressed their approval.
Ying Wuyou said with satisfaction, "That's good. I hope everyone will work together to make this newspaper a success and let more people know about the changes in Great Qin." Everyone agreed.
Just then, Ying Nian strode in. Actually, he wasn't deliberately late; it was simply because his residence was far from the palace. Unlike the others, who all lived inside the palace, Ying Nian lived outside. Therefore, from the moment he received the imperial decree, he rushed to the palace without stopping.
When Ying Nian finally appeared before everyone, they were all taken aback. Seeing this, Ying Wuyou quickly stood up and warmly invited Ying Nian to sit down. Ying Nian smiled and nodded to everyone, then gracefully sat down.
As Ying Nian took her seat, the previously noisy scene suddenly quieted down. Then, Ying Yunman broke the silence, smiling as she said to Ying Nian, "Jiayang, no matter what, we all want to thank you." Her words were filled with sincerity and gratitude.
Hearing Ying Yunman's words, the others echoed her sentiments, expressing their gratitude to Ying Nian in a flurry of voices. Ying Wuyou, watching this scene, smiled with satisfaction. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "We're all family, so there's no need for thanks. Let's talk about the future development of the Newspaper Division. What are your thoughts on this?"
Ying Gaoshan spoke first: "I plan to first set up the framework of the Newspaper Division and formulate various rules and regulations so that the work can be carried out in an orderly manner."
Ying Gaoya then added, "I will communicate with the craftsmen as soon as possible to improve printing efficiency and quality."
Ying Yueying also said, "The scribe will recruit talented people to ensure that the manuscripts are rich in content and accurate."
Ying Yunman stated, "The Public Opinion Room will promptly collect feedback from the public to provide direction for newspaper improvements."
After a moment's thought, Ying Nian said, "I want the editorial department to establish connections with merchant caravans from various countries to obtain firsthand business information and new technology news, making the newspaper more practical." Everyone nodded in agreement with his idea.
Ying Wuyou was very satisfied after listening to everyone's ideas: "Everyone has a clear plan, which is excellent. However, the various departments need to communicate and cooperate more to avoid information gaps." Everyone agreed. Then, they had a heated discussion on details such as the content and distribution of the newspaper, until it was getting late before they dispersed with great enthusiasm, ready to work hard for the vigorous development of the Great Qin Newspaper Company.
Subsequently, thanks to their efforts, the Newspaper Department quickly became operational. The circulation of the *Da Qin Xin Bao* (Great Qin New News) expanded, not only disseminating government decrees but also promoting commercial exchange. Meanwhile, Ying Wuyou was constantly busy with his own affairs while keeping a close eye on the Newspaper Department's development. Amidst this series of reforms, Great Qin was quietly moving towards a new era of prosperity.
