It's actually similar to the modern world before Uchiha Takashi travel, but the punishments are a bit more severe.

Uchiha Takashi had zero tolerance for cheating. The first step was to have proctors in the examination rooms. Additionally, each examination room must be staffed with a proctor possessing the Sharingan Ketsuryūgan, or the Byakugan.

If cheating is discovered, the student's exam score will be canceled on the spot, and the student will also have to say goodbye to freedom and go to prison.

This is just the middle school entrance exam; the college entrance exam is much harsher. If you're caught cheating on the college entrance exam, it's not just a simple matter of going to jail. Right now, during a crackdown, cheating on the college entrance exam can really cost you your head.

If cheating on the college entrance exam is discovered, the person will be dragged to the execution ground and executed on the spot. If it's discovered to be a group cheating, the mastermind will be executed, the accomplices will be executed, and everyone will be executed.

Uchiha Takashi: I hate apologizing afterwards! Kill! Kill! Kill them all!

As Uchiha Takashi considered this method of punishment and the laws and regulations it followed, a question suddenly came to his mind.

So, he did come up with these laws and regulations, and he did have local governments post them out. But the problem is... how many people will actually read them?

The outreach efforts are far from sufficient. Everyone knows how much effort has been put into promoting the middle and high school entrance exams; they need a more effective and powerful method of publicity.

Uchiha Takashi suddenly glanced down at the paper in his hand, then at the words printed on it, and slapped his forehead.

How could he forget about newspapers? If there's anything second only to the internet in terms of reach and publicity, it's definitely newspapers!

Newspapers were arguably the mainstream means of disseminating information and public opinion before the advent of the internet.

It could even be said that after newspapers came out, public opinion was no longer just a niche battleground existing only in word of mouth.

After the newspapers are published, the battleground of public opinion becomes a crucial one. Whoever controls the high ground of public opinion can stand on the moral high ground and point fingers at the enemy.

This would deal a huge blow to the enemy's foundation of rule and popular support, and might even damage the enemy's morale.

The technology required for making newspapers is simply two things: papermaking and printing.

Ironically, both of these technologies were developed just a few days ago for the middle school entrance exam, yet Uchiha Takashi didn't immediately think of the newspaper; he must have been out of his mind.

Uchiha Takashi had spent too much time on his phone in his past life and completely neglected newspapers until now, when he wanted to do some advertising, he finally remembered them.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Takashi tapped the table, and a member of the Nara Clan immediately entered. "Sir, what are your orders?"

Uchiha Takashi cleared his throat and said, "I have a new policy. Go find someone to implement it. I'm planning to establish something called a newspaper."

The main job of a newspaper is nothing more than writing newspapers. What is a newspaper? A newspaper is something printed on paper.

For example, we can print novels on it, or messages that our government wants to convey to the public, as well as recent policies, laws and regulations, and other information we want to promote.

The newspapers printed by the newspaper company can be sold to the public at a low price or slightly above cost. This way, the public can learn about national affairs, have some entertainment, and achieve our propaganda goals.

The Nara Clan members listened to the Uchiha speak, nodding as they did so, while simultaneously taking notes on a piece of paper. Meanwhile, the Uchiha clan members standing to the side were already completely bewildered.

What newspaper? What newspaper? What propaganda? What printing? What the hell? What is all this nonsense? I don't understand a word of it!

Uchiha Takashi looked at the dizzy Uchiha clansmen beside him with an annoyed expression and said, "It's okay if you don't understand. If you feel dizzy, go outside for some fresh air. Anyway, it's none of your business right now."

The Uchiha clansman shook his head, clearing his head a little, before staggering out.

After Uchiha Takashi finished explaining things to the newspaper office, the Nara Clan members took the paper back. "We roughly understood. It needs to be completed within a few days?"

Uchiha Takashi thought for a moment and said, "This matter isn't something you can handle alone. You can seek help from the Rites Bureau organization)."

The newspaper is not a government department, remember that. It's just a business, a state-run enterprise, an institution, not a department, understand?

However, the Ministry of Education needs to review the promotional content of this product, so you can contact the Ministry of Education and obtain the necessary materials. Basically, you can directly contact whichever department is involved.

Ideally, the newspaper should be officially established within the next few days, and the makeshift team should be assembled. Every beginning is difficult, but once the first copy is printed, everything will be alright.

The Nara Clan members nodded and then left the office. Uchiha Takashi nodded with satisfaction. See, this demonstrates the Nara Clan's comprehension and strong administrative capabilities.

He doesn't need to worry about anything; he just needs to explain in detail what's in his head, and then confidently hand it over to the Nara Clan to handle.

No wonder that future Konoha of Hokage needed a Nara Clan as an assistant; it has to be said, the Nara Clan was truly useful!

Uchiha Takashi's words were absolutely correct; the Nara Clan's administrative capabilities were simply off the charts.

Uchiha Takashi's requests and specific conditions allowed him to leave, and within a few days, the Land of Light Newspaper Agency had already been established.

The Ministry of the Rites Bureau, the Ministry of Education, the Works Bureau, and the Household Bureau worked together to set it up as quickly as possible.

The Works Bureau even allocated a printing plant and a paper mill specifically to the newspaper office for printing newspapers.

Then the Nara Clan put their brilliant minds to work and quickly designed the content of the first newspaper.

According to Uchiha Takashi's idea, the newspaper should first print some recent events that have occurred in the country, and then explain and publicize these events.

The other pages can't be left empty either; print novels, sutras, promotional quotes, and inspirational stories all on them. Of course, most importantly, there's also information about the high school entrance exam.

According to the requirements, newspapers must dedicate at least one page to information regarding the high school entrance examination, emphasizing its fairness and impartiality. They must also warn students against cheating and outline the consequences of cheating.

Ultimately, the first newspaper was designed and successfully printed, officially marking the beginning of the modern era of news dissemination and the birth of modern journalism.

This year was successfully recorded in history books and appeared in numerous subsequent exams, becoming a frequently tested topic in history exams, much to the dismay of later generations of test-takers.
