Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Chapter 162 Running a Newspaper, Li 2 Contradicts

The wedding was held in a lively manner, and Lao Chen lived a life with a wife.

Just waiting for Xiao Chen in my stomach to be born.

In a blink of an eye, it is midsummer time again.

Li Shimin came out of the palace with three ministers.

Arrived at Sujiazhuang.

Su Yu is enjoying the shade under the shade of a tree.

Several batches of carp have been changed in the pond, and Changle is still feeding the fish.

Xiao Sizi prefers to practice Fei Bai.

Li Shimin walked in and sat next to Su Yu.

Fang Xuanling sat down with Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng, and Xue Ji cut fruit for them to eat.

"My dear brother, is the movable type printing done yet?"

Li Shimin asked with a smile.

A few months ago, Wei Zheng said that paper is cheaper, but books are more expensive because of printing quality.

Then I asked Su Yu, there is a movable type printing method here, and the printed books are better than ordinary ones, and the cost is much lower.

Li Shimin was overjoyed at the time, and begged Su Yu to show him the technology of movable type printing.

Su Yu had promised well at the time, but several months passed in a flash.

Not at all.

Salted fish is salted fish.

"Oh, that, I asked Lao Chen to do it."

"According to the time, it should be better soon."

Su Yu said slowly.

Such a hot weather is not suitable for working, but suitable for sleeping in the cool.

"Go and ask Old Chen."

Su Yu said to Xue Ji.

After a while, Lao Chen came over.

"Old Chen, is the movable type printing done?"

Li Shimin asked.

"It's ready, leave it alone."

"You can take it back today."

Old Chen said.

"Great, with movable type printing, the price of books can come down."

"Every reader has a book to read."

Wei Zheng said happily.

Among the three, Wei Zheng is the most fair.

Su Yu slept with her eyes closed.

He got up suddenly and said, "Lao Li, I have an idea."

Li Shimin thought that Su Yu had some kind of mysterious national strategy, so he immediately asked, "My dear brother, please tell me."

"With movable type and cheap paper, we have the conditions."

"We run a newspaper in Chang'an City."

Su Yu said.

newspaper?

The four of them were dumbfounded, not knowing what it was.

"My dear brother, what is a newspaper?"

Li Shimin asked.

Su Yu said: "A newspaper is a publication that publishes the anecdotes and strange events that have happened across the country."

"For example, we run a newspaper in Chang'an City called Datang Daily."

"This newspaper can publish the decisions made by Li Er every day, and the important matters discussed by the court that day."

"You can also publish some anecdotes, such as what the oiran of Pingkangfang did today."

"For another example, what did Li Er do wrong, what's wrong with him?"

Li Shimin heard everything was fine.

Later, it is reported that Li Er did something wrong and made it public.

Li Shimin was taken aback.

It is enough for one Wei Zheng to stare at him, and one more newspaper to stare at him.

"My dear brother, it's okay for this newspaper to report important events in the court."

"Reporting Li Er's fault is going too far."

"What if Li Er is not happy and it is sealed up?"

Li Shimin laughed.

Wei Zheng made sense when he heard it.

It's not enough to stare at Li Shimin by myself. If there is a newspaper and a group of people stare at Li Shimin, that would be fine.

The whole Tang people are watching, how dare he do something wrong?

"Young Master Su is really a clever strategy."

Wei Zheng shouted.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stayed silent, thinking to themselves: This Su Yu has so many bad ideas.

Every bad idea is aimed at the emperor.

If this newspaper is really run, then if the emperor does something wrong, he will be stripped clean.

"No, Uncle Wei, this is absolutely not possible."

Li Shimin firmly opposed it.

Wei Zheng has an iron head and is not afraid of Li Shimin.

"Treasurer Li, if Li Er really banned the newspaper, it would be unwise and a foolish king."

Wei Zheng chuckled.

Li Shimin couldn't get angry in front of Su Yu, so he had to swallow his anger.

This old farmer is excited again.

"Oh, it's not that I have to expose Li Er's mistakes."

"We have run this newspaper, which is of many uses."

"The two biggest advantages are that there are many literati in Chang'an. Those poets have written a good poem, which should be passed on to everyone."

"The best way to do that is to rely on our newspaper, which is accessible to all."

"Then the poet became popular overnight."

"We just charge page fees, and how much is a word for publishing in our newspaper."

When Li Shimin heard that he could make money, he agreed again.

There are so many literati and poets in Chang'an City, and they all want to be famous and enter official careers.

So this thing is absolutely doable.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui nodded.

"This is indeed a good business. Mr. Su's business strategy is brilliant."

Li Shimin has already started to figure out how much money he can earn.

"Publishing poems and essays by poets is just one of them, and the money is not much."

"Second, advertise."

Su Yu laughed.

Du Ruhui asked: "Young Master Su, what is an advertisement?"

Su Yu said with a smile: "Advertisement is to advertise widely."

"For example, when a store opens, if he wants to attract customers, he can advertise in our newspaper."

"Think about it, if our newspaper is published in Chang'an City and Luoyang City, how many guests can we bring him?"

"They're absolutely willing to advertise."

Li Shimin patted his thigh and praised: "My good brother, great plan."

"We businessmen just need customers, let everyone know us."

There are so many wealthy businessmen in Chang'an, and they definitely make a lot of money from them.

It's just a pity that Su Yu can't be allowed to advertise.

The big dog with the most money is here, it's a pity not to be able to make money from him.

Su Yu paused, then said with a wicked smile: "For another example, in Pingkang Fang, the girls upstairs can also advertise themselves in newspapers."

puff.
Li Shimin spat out a mouthful of tea.

"Brother, it's too much, too much, this matter can't be done."

"How decent is it to advertise for brothel girls?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "Old Li, I thought you only care about money, but I didn't expect you to have a bottom line."

Xiao Sizi drew two tissues for Li Shimin.

"Little Si is still caring."

Li Shimin laughed.

Changle was feeding the fish by the edge of the pond, and when he heard Li Shimin say this, he jumped down and acted like a baby.

"Aye, why am I not caring?"

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Okay, they are all good."

After comforting the two daughters, Li Shimin said, "I think it's okay, except not to expose Li Er's wrongdoing."

"Uncle Wei, do you think so?"

"We absolutely must not expose Li Er's wrongdoing, maybe it will be blocked."

Wei Zheng sneered, "The shopkeeper said so."

hiss.
Li Shimin felt that Wei Zheng was making a bad idea.

But greedy for profit, Li Shimin saw so many benefits, he was reluctant to part with this piece of fat.

Newspapers must be run.

Because there is money to be made.
