Take the mall to Datang

Changsun Wuji blushed suddenly, he knew what was going on better than anyone else, and of course it was out of good intentions, one must know that this tabloid could spread to the harem, and Princess Changle would definitely be able to see it.

"I think these are all nonsense, children are quite skilled in martial arts, but they are much worse than Xiang Yu in Han Dynasty." Changsun Wuji said.

When all the courtiers heard this, they might have sighed that this man was really thick-skinned. They all boasted like this and did not forget to say that their son is quite skilled in martial arts. In fact, it is true to say that, at least so far, only King Zhao of the Western Mansion, King Xiang Yu, Li Xuanba, who is a brave general and born with supernatural power, should do it.

"Hey, I already know that Changsun Chong is both civil and military. It's just that the tabloid said that he would go out every three days to help women and children to fight for justice. This is not something he does every day as a son-in-law. It is better to make him calm down." Good." Li Shimin said bravely.

He has nothing to do with his uncle now. It’s okay to be thick-skinned. Being the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is a bit embarrassing at this time, but the content published in the tabloids of the Tang Dynasty before is not bad. You can read the poems written by scholars Song Fu, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, etc., but even though I know that the messy news has occupied a large page during this period, it is simply a disappointment.

If he didn't know that someone did it on purpose, he would be in arrears with his IQ. Of course, he brought up this matter to appease Changsun Wuji's mood. You must know that this marriage is a signal, a signal that the eldest grandson's family is about to rise.

Changsun Wuji is very smart, he resigned from the official position of You Pushe, although he did not continue to be the prime minister, but his strength in the court was comparable to that of the prime minister, otherwise how could he have the right to speak when Emperor Taizong of Tang established the crown prince, if not because Li Ke was not I'm afraid his nephew doesn't know whether Li Zhi will be able to sit on the throne smoothly.

Telling this matter today is also to remind Changsun Wuji to restrain himself. These Changsun Wuji naturally know it, but his face is too thick, which makes His Majesty a little embarrassed.

After the two of them finished talking, Li Baiyao, the Minister of Rituals, stood up and said, "The Rituals Department has already made preparations for Princess Changle's wedding, and we will wait for the auspicious day to arrange it."

Then the departments and personnel related to the marriage began to report, and the Ministry of Rituals was still very safe.

Li Shimin loves this daughter very much. Li Zhi has been very smart since she was a child. If the eldest grandson Wuji hadn't brought up this matter, he might have kept Li Zhi in the palace for a few more years. It's a pity that Li Zhi was born in the emperor's family and was destined to have her in her life. mission to be accomplished.

At this time, Princess Changle held the tabloid in her hand, and said to the maid beside her, "This eldest Sun Chong is too exaggerated, I will not be deceived by you."

In Princess Changle's heart, this eldest Sun Chong will always hide behind Li Chengqian. He looks honest but is actually very optimized like his father.

"Why is Your Royal Highness so disappointed? I heard that Yuan Pushe is going to give the princess a heart of the ocean, a gem worth 50 guan. Since ancient times, no princess has been treated like this," said the maid.

The maid who spoke was a female official in Princess Changle's palace. She and Changle had a very good relationship and grew up together, so there were not many taboos when speaking.

"I'll tell you that you don't understand either." Li Zhi said.

The maids around her didn't say much. In fact, many things are clear to outsiders when they see them. It's just that these people will be dowry when the princess is married. They have the opportunity to go out of the palace to live, and maybe there will be other things at that time Enze may also be uncertain.

From their point of view, it is a good thing for the princess to get married, otherwise it is possible in their old womb, but she really thinks too much about this kind of thinking. Didn't see that Li Shimin was fine, so she would release some palace ladies? It stands to reason that all palace ladies They are all the emperor's women, why should they be released? If they all look as good as fish and wild goose, would he be willing to do so at the age of twenty-eight?

After the Tang Dynasty tabloids serialized Chang Sun Chong's deeds, the people sighed for a while. Even Shi Yi couldn't stand it anymore, but since he was a businessman, she couldn't easily interrupt the business since he took money from others.

I still have some reputation as a businessman, but fortunately, the other party terminated it before it caused even bigger waves.

This also made Shi Yi heave a sigh of relief, he had already made up his mind that he would never do such a thing against his conscience in the future.

In order to make up for the previous loss to the Datang tabloid, Shi Yi asked Yuan Shan.

"The gossip news is quite interesting. I don't know what kind of information shopkeeper Shi wants to publish." Yuan Shan asked.

"Hey, this wouldn't have happened if I hadn't been greedy for small profits. Now the people in Chang'an have a bad opinion of Zhuangyuan Bookstore. What should I do?" Shi Yi said.

"It seems that this is really a problem. Since the reputation is not good, we can only slowly recover the word of mouth. I don't have any good ideas for this matter." Yuan Shan said.

Yuan Shan didn't have any good ideas about this matter. This kind of mainstream tabloid has been turned into a third-rate gossip tabloid. If you want to counterattack, what else can you do? You can only win everyone's attention through bigger news.

"I also ask Yuan Pushe to provide some information." Shi Yi said.

There's no way Yuan Shan didn't say it directly just now, but now that he's begged so much, he said with a look of embarrassment: "Why don't we make a follow-up report on the train project, so that officials and the common people can clearly understand to this great project." Yuan Shan said.

"Follow-up report?" Shi Yi thought for a while and decided that this content must be more attractive than Princess Changle's wedding.

"Then thank Yuan Pu for shooting this matter." Shi Yi's eyes began to show the shrewdness of a businessman.

"Don't worry, the Ministry of Economic Development will provide you with books, but the only requirement is not to change the content without authorization, such as publishing it truthfully." Yuan Shan reminded.

"No problem." Shi Yi said.

In fact, Yuan Shan wanted to mention the advent of the industrial age, but think about it or forget it. It is still too early to say such things. Even if the train can be manufactured, it will be futile if the technology is not widely used. However, through tabloids The follow-up report can let everyone quickly understand the train and the progress of Datang industry, so as to popularize knowledge, drive related industries, and influence people's opinions.

Chapter 583 Libraries

With Yuan Shan's promise, Shi Yi's Zhuangyuan Bookstore immediately organized a group of capable scholars to conduct interviews on the construction section of the railway as required.

Soon, Datang Tabloid's first report on trains came out.

As soon as the opening drum of the room was knocked, the boys selling tabloids shouted on the street. Some long-term orderers could see tabloids placed in the tabloid storage box outside the door every morning as soon as they opened the door.

It didn't come out that this is also a new gadget with the development of tabloids. All long-term order customers will be installed a newspaper receiving box for free. There are holes in the box and a lock to ensure the safety of the tabloids.

The content of today's tabloid is very fresh. A rectangular pattern was actually printed in the small newspaper, with the word train written under the picture, which immediately attracted attention.

"The appearance of the train is really strange. Can such a long thing really move? According to the introduction, the locomotive is made of pure iron and weighs nearly [-] shi. It's amazing that there is so much iron."

This topic has not stopped since the morning. Calculated, the locomotive is at least about [-] tons. According to the preliminary setting, the real total may be slightly heavier, but Yuanshan has tried his best to get rid of unnecessary things. , and the biggest problem is multi-cylinder technology, which is the core part of this steam train.

The first issue of the Datang tabloid only published such a huge monster made of pure iron, but it became the focus of the topic as soon as the news came out.

People with many good deeds went to the place where the railway was being built outside Chang'an to check, but what they saw was the flat railway foundation, and at first glance, there were only wooden squares pressed by gravel, and the repaired road was divided into two parts. There are road signs and various guide signs inserted on both sides of a section, which look like long lines paved with gravel.

People who saw this look didn't know what it was doing, but after the tabloid introduced the locomotive, the next issue will explain the railway and other related information, which makes people look forward to it.

Datang small bags are not released every day, and it takes time to make them, but the content of the next issue has already been prepared. At the same time, the Shi family opened a Zhuangyuan library next to the Zhuangyuan Bookstore, which houses various books. Books related to this kind of book are charged according to the time of day, and desks are provided inside, but for safety reasons, the business hours are only during the day.

Because they are all books, they are closed at night, candles are not lit, and kerosene lamps are not lit. When you are thirsty when reading, you need to go to the well mouth outside to drink water. This is also to prevent drinking water from spilling on the books while reading.

The library is large, but the fees are not high. Commoners can also pay for their studies, and if scholars want to earn some pocket money, they can also apply for copying jobs in the library, and the remuneration is quite considerable.

This idea was proposed by Yuan Shan, because with such a library, the Shi family has gained a lot of fame, but this is indeed a dangerous signal in the eyes of the aristocratic family. The Shi family is under a lot of pressure, but because of this It was also approved by His Majesty the Emperor, and this was also the best choice made by the Shi family.

There is also a library in the Guozijian of the Tang Dynasty, where students can borrow books at will, and the Shi family is even more thorough. Anyone who has money can read some books, and even some books are replaced with new books after a long period of use. , Old books will be sold at the lowest price, which is convenient for some poor students.

And with the help of Yuan Shan, many Guozijian students can copy books and sell their manuscripts to the Zhuangyuan Library. The purchase price is very high, and this earning can also be regarded as a long-term earning job for students .

Although Yuan Shan's reputation in Guozijian is not very good, it is undeniable that Yuanshan promoted the most officials in Guozijian. The purpose of these students is to study and not to work hard to become a scholar in the future, so no one will rely solely on scholars Yiqi really challenged Yuanshan, so the promotion of this library project went very smoothly.

In addition, the reading library also collects paintings of celebrities and classifies all the books, not to mention the poems and songs of the scholars. The poems, songs and songs of the scholars kept by the Zhuangyuan Bookstore are all to be printed into books. The purpose is to enrich the library's book reserves. , some miscellaneous studies are more popular here, but only various religious scriptures are not displayed.

Now the business of Zhuangyuan Bookstore is very hot, some of them buy various practice questions, more people come to pick up the work of copying books, and there are also many people who write poems, songs and poems, because Zhuangyuan Bookstore is going to release the poems, songs and poems of Tang Dynasty talents The news has spread.

Even the civil servants in the DPRK are not tired of it, the more reason is that they don't know if the Shi family did it on purpose, as long as the official contributes, they will always get a good remuneration. And more.

The bookstore is not even limited to various schools of thought, not only poems and poems can be submitted, but also the opinions of various academic schools can be submitted. If they can compile a book and pay back the publishing cost of the book, they can get a lot of money at once.

What's more, Yuan Shan just didn't follow the routine. He gave Shi Yi the book "Diagnosis, Prevention and Treatment of Common Diseases" in Lantian Medical Center, and published it at his own expense. The Zhuangyuan Bookstore sent people to distribute it to the county offices of various state capitals. Although this business was a bit wrong, it was handy with the various channels of the Shi family, and the penetration rate of the yamen around Chang'an was the highest.

For this reason, Shi Yi also earned Yuanshan [-] guan as a service fee. Yuanshan did earn [-] guan from the Changan businessman for each advertisement in the advertisement column on the tree. There are fifty advertisements.

After the report on the locomotive, the content of the second issue of the tabloid finally let people see the original appearance of the railway, and it was written very clearly. Many people don't believe what Jean said.

Although many people don't believe it, the truth is right in front of our eyes. After the completion of the railway construction, the truth will come to light, so there is nothing controversial about this matter, but when it comes to the amount of investment, the people are very shocked, but However, some people in the court think that this is a waste of money and people and should be stopped.

As a result, Yuan Shan was brought over again to discuss with a minister.
