Chapter 1196: Attack
Recently, the officials in the Hanlin department who were qualified to lecture in the Royal School were in a good mood. Therefore, when they were told that their wives were preparing to apply for the position of editor of The Lily Times, they only felt momentarily depressed.
As the various rules of The Lily Times were published in the newspaper, The Great Qi Times also consolidated the four newspapers under its umbrella. After naming the various newspapers, they set the rules and began to recruit staff from the entire nation.
The group of men were too embarrassed to focus intently on The Lily Times’s announcement, so they stared at The Great Qi Times’s announcement instead.
Lin Weide was indeed capable. He had only been in office for eight days, but he had already successfully taken over the newspaper office. He named the four newspapers one by one. The most eye-catching one was naturally The Great Qi Times, now with more polished content. While mainly focused on all kinds of government affairs in Great Qi, it also dabbled in foreign relations with neighboring countries. Any current affairs could be published in The Great Qi Times.
As proposed by Mu Yangling, the three new newspapers were ’The Great Qi Sinology Journal’, ’The Great Qi Geographical Journal’, and ’The Great Qi Children’s Journal’.
The Great Qi Times stipulated that officials were not allowed to take on any position in the newspaper office. Therefore, although the idle editors of the Hanlin Academy really wanted to become a part-time editor for kicks, they were dismayed to learn that they were ineligible.
But it didn’t matter. Although they couldn’t hold a position, their articles could appear in the newspapers.
To be able to become a jinshi and enter the Hanlin Academy, those people most definitely had superior writing skills.
From The Great Qi Times to The Great Qi Sinology Journal to The Great Qi Geographical Journal, everyone was knowledgeable about the content. All, except The Great Qi Children’s Journal. That said, they had sons and grandchildren who could contribute. Even if their sons and grandsons could not do it, they still had students!
Especially the teachers in the Royal School, whose students had a natural advantage.
