Be a master through ancient times

Chapter 340 Layout Design



Because Mr. Jiang had already proposed the idea, after Chu Ci praised him a few more words, he continued following his train of thought.

"Master Jiang just mentioned the imperial palace report. It would be good to inform the students of major events in the world in this form. However, the official report is an official document. In addition to some major events and minor sentiments, there are also government affairs conveyed by the imperial court. Among them are Some things that are not suitable for students to read, if they are directly copied, it may not be appropriate."

The mansion newspaper is an internal newspaper of the imperial court. In addition to recording recent major events, there will also be new decrees promulgated by the emperor, opinions put forward by ministers in the court, etc. It can be said that it involves all the power centers. those people.These words cannot be shown to the students.

The other adults also nodded. If they were careless in this matter, they would be caught and charged with the crime of leaking court secrets.

But they also knew that from Master Chu's appearance, he didn't want them to veto the proposal, but wanted them to make a suggestion and propose a solution.So, someone said: "Master Tixue, although there are official documents of the imperial court, we don't have to be too nervous. We only need to delete the undisclosed content every time we transcribe."

Another person said: "Master Wu is right. When we transcribe, we just need to transcribe more important events in the state and politics, especially the local affairs in our southern Fujian province."

These adults seemed to have a lot of brains suddenly, and they put forward feasible suggestions one after another.After hearing this, Chu Ci started to memorize wildly, and at the same time, he did not hesitate to praise his own words, blowing rainbow farts, one set after another, and praised these people to the sky.But they didn't feel that Chu Ci was trying to curry favor with him at all. They only felt that this Mr. Tixue was good at everything, and he even listened to him more than others.

After everyone's opinions were expressed, Chu Ci said: "I have recorded everything you want to say here. Now everyone go to your own business first, and after I have sorted out the content in the afternoon, I will discuss how to implement it. .My lords, you can think about it again after you go back. Is there a better way? By the way, there are a lot of meetings today, and I will let Chu be the host in the evening to reward everyone."

Chu Ci was about to invite people to dinner again. When he was in the Imperial College, he liked to invite doctoral assistants to dinner.The feelings of Chinese people are cultivated at the dinner table, and there is no occasion more suitable for communication than the dinner table.

No matter what the adults sitting below were thinking in their hearts, they were all happy on the face anyway. If the boss wanted to treat him to dinner, who would dare not go?

After these people left slowly, Chu Ci stopped Zhou Qing and asked him to stay and help him tidy up.Zhou Qing naturally agreed.

Chu Ci called him to sit next to him, and then pushed the notes he had memorized to the middle.Zhou Qing saw that the book, which was bound with needlework, was filled with small characters written in charcoal.There are some characters here that he knows, but some characters seem to be familiar, as if he recognizes them, and seem to have fewer strokes than the characters he knows.

"Lord Chu, what are these words?" Zhou Qing and Chu Ci had been together for so long, so he naturally knew that they were quick to ask questions, so they asked questions directly without beating around the bush.

Chu Ci saw that something bad happened.There are too many strokes in traditional Chinese characters. When he takes shorthand notes with charcoal, he always uses simplified Chinese characters instead.He hadn't seen this thing before, so he didn't pay much attention to it when he wrote it today.

"These characters, I call them simplified characters. You need to be fast when taking notes. Some characters have too many strokes to write in time, so I replace them with some simple strokes, and I can understand them." Chu Ci pretended to be calm. Look explained.

After Zhou Qing thought about it, it was true.They didn't have the habit of taking notes in the past, and since Chu Ti learned it, they have also established this rule.Some of them are not very used to using charcoal sticks, so they still use Mao notes. Every time they go too fast, people get confused, and their notes are messed up, not as beautiful as Chuci's.He recorded the topic of the meeting, the time it took, and in addition to recording the important speeches of the meeting, he also marked who said the sentence in front.This note looks clear at a glance, and it is not too comfortable.

"I'll read the above content later, and you will be responsible for transcribing it on another piece of paper. Maybe some content will be changed, no problem?" Chu Ci didn't know what he had imagined, anyway, he could Just cooperate.

Zhou Qing nodded quickly, indicating that he was competent.So in the following time, Chu Ci told him the content bit by bit.Sometimes a long paragraph of explanation is added at the end.The more Zhou Qing listened, the more surprised he became. Sometimes he would inevitably stop his movements. Chu Ci didn't scold him when he saw it, but slowed down thoughtfully.

The reason why Zhou Qing was surprised was that he thought that Master Chu had thought up this meeting on the spur of the moment, because he had no thoughts in his mind, which allowed them to speak freely.After listening to his methodical explanation now, Zhou Qing found out that in fact, he already had a well-thought-out idea, and even had a better idea, but he just asked them specifically to let them participate in it.

Thinking of this, he began to admire Chu Ci from the bottom of his heart.No wonder he was young enough to gain the trust of the emperor to take on this important task.

Chu Ci didn't know that he was so admired by a person so quickly. He just watched Zhou Qing's expression getting more and more serious, and thought it was because he reported too fast, so he had to slow down his speech time and time again. I am very tired.

In the afternoon, before everyone came, Chu Ci laid out another piece of rice paper and began to paint and draw on it.

When the people who came in saw him painting, they were all taken aback for a moment, and then walked lightly to their positions, for fear of disturbing their elegant mood of Mr. Ti Xue.

When everyone was gathered, Chu Ci's painting was finished.He set the painting aside and began to preside over the meeting.

The morning session was a speech session, and the afternoon session was Chu Ci's home game alone.

He said: "First of all, based on everyone's speeches in the morning, I decided to formulate a Di Bao within the scope of our jurisdiction. It's just that we can't call it this name, so I thought of a few new names, respectively. It is the Education Newspaper, the Learning Newspaper and the Newspaper, which name everyone agrees with more, let’s vote with a show of hands now.”

The adults below are discussing a lot, and some think that education is a good thing, because Mencius and other old people said that "the world's talents should be educated". In their eyes, education is to cultivate talents, which just meets their original purpose. But that's all.

Some people think that learning newspaper is more close to the people, so that others will know what it is for when they hear it.Very few people find the news paper very innovative.

After some voting, the Education Daily won by two votes, so they named the first newspaper of the Department of Education after that.

"Okay, now let me talk about what content we need in our education newspaper. According to everyone's wishes, I have formulated several sections. The first one is political news. As the name suggests, it records major events that happened in the court and the latest news. Government decrees. Since this part of the content needs to be taboo, before the newspaper comes out, it needs to be reviewed and approved by a special person before it can be printed. I will do this part of the content first, and I will hand it over to you after everyone is familiar with the process. "

This is very reasonable, and this thing has just come out, they are also afraid that a bad one will make a taboo, so it is better for Mr. Tixue to try it out first.

Chu Ci nodded, and then said: "The next second is the appreciation of the sample essays. The content here is to publish the good articles handed down from the imperial examinations of my dynasty, and the appended authors, their rankings in the exams and the official positions they hold. Articles will be registered starting from the sample articles included in the Southern Fujian Province, but one thing to note is that the articles of criminals in the officialdom cannot be published on the Internet, and this also needs to be reviewed by a special person. Master Zhou will be in charge of this aspect , can you?"

Zhou Qing was flattered, and immediately stood up and said that he would do well.

Chu Ci encouraged him a bit, and then said: "The third section is called review, and the content of this section needs to start from the students, and let them submit their own contributions after writing, and then their teachers will sort it out and push it to you. The best article is submitted to the head of the mountain, and the head of the mountain chooses the best article and hands it over to the branch patrol. Then publish the original text and comments together on the website. This section has more content, and the layout will be larger.”

Someone down below couldn't help saying hello, once this move is announced, it will greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of the students. If they also have this when they are studying, they will probably rack their brains to write articles for the purpose of competing for the newspaper.

"The fourth section is called case analysis. Students study to become officials. To be an official, you must know how to solve cases. We need to collect classic cases that happened in the Wei Dynasty, and deal with the names and places in them with pseudonyms. Lay out the facts of the case, point out the means of the person handling the case and the laws and regulations used, so that they can learn more about the laws of our dynasty while learning the means of handling the case. After the case analysis, there is another question, Write the crime committed by one person on it, and let the students guess the sentencing. Then the correct sentencing method in the previous issue will be announced in the next issue. Among the adults here, is there any one who is particularly familiar with my law?"

After Chu Ci asked, an official raised his hand, indicating that he was okay.Chu Ci said: "Okay, then I will leave it to Master Zhao to take care of this matter first."

In fact, Chu Ci wanted to get more layouts, but considering the current printing problems, it's better not to make the newspaper so big and complicated. He planned to get an ordinary quarto newspaper, which is the size of A2 paper.He took out what he had just drawn and showed it to everyone.Only then did everyone know that Chu Ci was not painting just now, but designing the layout of the newspaper.At first glance, it really looks like that. The three big characters of Education Daily are particularly eye-catching.

"After talking about the layout design, let's talk about something else. I plan to publish two issues of this newspaper in January, on the second day of each month and the sixteenth day of each month. This way, the students can get the latest news when they come back from the Lunar New Year vacation. Yes. What do you adults think?"

"My lord Tixue, I decided to make a decision. Is this a bit tight? It will take more than half of the time to arrange the content of these four pages, and then the printing and typesetting will take time. The half-monthly period, can it come out on time?" Wang Wang What Ming did was related to this, so he had doubts about the time taken by the printing process. According to Mr. Ti Xue, the time would be very tight, and they might not be able to do other things.

After hearing this, Chu Ci nodded, and at a glance, he saw that there were about 20 people from the Department of Education who came to the meeting, and there were also a few non-staff personnel, totaling no more than [-] people.According to the original job content, these people have more than enough work, and they can even sneak in and gossip or something.

But if they have to deal with the original things after they have more publishing tasks, it will be much more nervous.It seems that some more people must be recruited to be responsible for proofreading, typesetting and printing.Judging from the number of newspapers they want to publish, I'm afraid they will have to recruit at least five more people.

After thinking about it, Chu Ci said: "The question raised by Mr. Wang just now is indeed worth thinking about, but it is easy to solve. We only need to recruit a few more people to take charge of this matter. The recruited people need to be able to read and write, and they must be tight-lipped. , the hands and feet are neat, and the treatment should be compared with those people. Why don't you, Mr. Wang, be responsible for recruiting people?"

Wang Ming was secretly happy, this recruiting matter is feasible.Entering the Yamen to do business is a day that most people dream of. Now that this opportunity is in front of them, can they not be tempted?

Seeing that he agreed happily, Chu Ci also smiled.Whoever does this can get some benefits, so it doesn't matter who does it.He didn't need to worry about the twists and turns, he just needed Wang Ming to find him the right manpower.As a boss, occasionally delegating power can also greatly motivate subordinates to work.

There is no problem with the software, and there is not much problem with the hardware.As for the printing equipment, they have a set of movable type templates at Tixue Division.It's just that there are more parts to be printed on a newspaper, and Chu Ci hopes to print one sheet at a time, instead of printing part of it and then drying and printing the other part.So he asked Mr. Zhou, who was in charge of the finances, to pay some money and buy some sets of movable type templates.

Those who manage finances generally complain. As soon as the adults were called out this week, they immediately wanted to complain. If they said something that had no money, they would evade it before accepting it, so that the superiors would remember his credit.But when he got to his lips, he swallowed it back after meeting Chu Ci's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.It's better not to touch this moldy head!

After the meeting, while the adults were going home to change their official uniforms, Chu Ci slumped on the chair and let out a long sigh of relief.I'm happier when I have something to do, especially when it's challenging.But tired but still a little tired.

The subordinates only need to make suggestions, but he has to coordinate the overall situation and deploy it in an all-round way. Chu Ci felt that his mental workload today was comparable to a battle, and now he just wants to go back and have a good sleep.

But he had already promised a big meal for the evening, if he backtracked, it would inevitably be criticized.This is the case in the officialdom, a small matter in this place will be put into infinity.Sometimes when you are in trouble, it may just be a slip of the tongue, a wrong sentence or an unpleasant action.

Chu Ci felt that living like this was very tiring.But what can people in the world do without getting tired?If you want to realize your wish, no matter how tired you are, you must overcome it.

He patted his face, then sat up and drank a cup of cold tea to refresh himself.When he stood up again, the energetic and radiant Chu Ti learned again.
