Go to ancient times and engage in construction

Wu Wangsheng succeeded to the throne at the end of winter in the year of Yi Ji's civil strife.In the year following Wu Wangsheng's succession to the throne, half of Wu's land had a bumper harvest in summer. In autumn, as long as water conservancy was built in Wu's country, all the fields had a bumper harvest. The harvest was unprecedented in Wu's history for 20 years.This year's Harvest Festival sacrifice, the king's capital Kangcheng was unprecedentedly lively, and on this day, the first newspaper in the Great Qin Continent, Wen Wei Po, appeared.

This year, Wu State's agriculture achieved an unprecedented bumper harvest, but in this year, winter came earlier than any other year. At the end of September, there was a heavy snowfall in Cannes.

The fluttering heavy snow fell, and the streets, houses, and trees in Cannes were all whitened by the heavy snow, which made it clear to see things in Cannes at night.A boy of twelve or thirty was wearing a thick winter coat, a cotton hat that could cover his ears, his hands were folded in his sleeves, a cloth bag was on his back, and he was wearing thick straw sandals made of rushes. Walking on the streets of Cannes with one foot, a light 'tick-tick' sound came from behind the boy.

"Hey! Who's in front, running on the street before the warning time?" The chief guard in charge of patrolling reined in his horse and asked.

"My lord general, the villain is a newsboy. Go to the newspaper office and wait for the new newspaper to be released." The boy stopped, turned around, saluted the patrolling soldiers respectfully, and took out a badge from his waist and handed it to the chief guard for inspection.In the city of Cannes, the curfew starts after eleven o'clock in the evening and ends at five o'clock the next morning. During this period, people are not allowed to wander the streets without incident.

"Oh, so I went to get the newspaper. In this issue of the newspaper, is it true that Taigongwang is going out to help Duke Zhou?" The patrol guard is also a loyal reader of the newspaper. The Taigongwang he mentioned is Jiang Ziya, the founding minister of the Zhou Dynasty, which was serialized A character in the vernacular novel "Feng Shen Yan Yi".

"This villain doesn't know, and the villain hasn't seen the newspaper yet." The newspaper is published at 05:30 every Monday morning. In order to get the newspaper earlier, the teenager got up at four o'clock and went to the newspaper printing office to wait.

"Hurry up and get the newspaper, and send it to the barracks immediately." The patrol captain seemed a little anxious.

"Yes, my lord general!" The young man clasped his hands in agreement, and after speaking, he evaded to the side to let the patrol team pass.

A courtyard-like residence near North College, with lights on inside, and two or three teenagers standing under the eaves of the door, these teenagers are primary school students who work and study, because their families are difficult, they went to the newspaper office to get a copy of the subscription newspaper For errands, as long as you work one morning a week, you can get five Wu coins as a reward, four times a month, and twenty Wu coins are enough for them to buy study paper and charcoal pencils. These teenagers are the sons of common people in Cannes.

At 05:30, the gate of the courtyard opened, and the teenagers entered one after another. After receiving the newspapers they wanted to deliver, they scattered and ran around to deliver the newspapers. The newspapers they wanted to deliver were not many, about twenty or thirty copies, more than an hour The delivery can be finished, and I can go to school at seven o'clock in time.

Wu Wangsheng woke up at dawn, opened his eyes and saw the light outside the window, he eagerly pushed Queen Tian beside him to wake up: "Qiang, wake up, the newspaper is coming soon." Qiang is Queen Tian's boudoir name.

"Is it dawn?" Queen Tian rubbed her eyes, she felt really sleepy in the winter morning, lying under the warm blanket, she didn't really want to get up.

"It's bright!" Wu Wangsheng was moving around in the quilt. Every Monday, he didn't like to sleep in late.

"Since it's dawn, Your Majesty should get up." Queen Tian sat up and put on a thick cotton coat.

"Okay, okay! Get up!" Wu Wangsheng happily lifted the quilt, and was about to jump out of bed in thin clothes.

"Put on your coat before getting out of bed. Don't freeze." Queen Tian hurriedly grabbed Wu Wangsheng, got out of bed by herself, took Wu Wangsheng's winter clothes on the hanger, and put them on for Wu Wangsheng.

"I don't know what little stories are in the newspaper today, um, and the romance. I wonder if there will be more talk about Nezha making troubles in the sea." Wu Wangsheng stretched out his hands, and Queen Tian fiddled with them.

"Nezha has made trouble in the sea, how can he make trouble in the sea every day? Every time he goes to make trouble in the sea, the dragon king's sons and grandchildren must be stripped and skinned by Nezha?" Queen Tian pursed her lips and teased her husband.

"I just like Nezha Naohai. The sons and grandsons of the dragon are gone, don't there still be shrimp soldiers and shrimp generals? They have tendons and skins that can be pulled and peeled?" Wu Wangsheng pouted. He loves Nezha so much. That old man is much more fun fishing.

"Okay, your Majesty is going to wash your face and rinse your mouth, and my concubine is going to see if you have brought the newspaper." Queen Tian dressed Wu Wangsheng before clapping her hands to let the maid on duty outside come in to help Wu Wangsheng to wash.

After Wu Wangsheng went to the bathroom with the maid, Queen Tian walked out of the bedroom door to ask the female officer outside. "Is the paper here today?"

"Ma'am, I haven't arrived yet, I have asked Xiao Huangyi to pick it up." The female officer squatted down to salute Queen Tian.

While the two were talking, a figure in yellow appeared in the distance, holding a stack of newspapers in his hands. There were many people in the palace who wanted to read newspapers. Apart from Wu Wangsheng and his wife, the female officials also ordered newspapers. As long as half a Wu coin is required, the female officials have a hardware monthly salary, and the price of half a Wu coin is nothing in the eyes of female officials.

Queen Tian saw that Xiao Huangyi had already brought the newspaper, so she didn't go forward to read the newspaper in a hurry, but ordered the female officer to set up breakfast in the kitchen, took a newspaper and put it on the breakfast table, and went back to the bedroom to dress up.

When Queen Tian dressed up and sat down at the dining table, Wu Wangsheng was already waiting there eagerly. Wu Wangsheng was illiterate, and he was waiting for Queen Tian to read the newspaper to him.

"Your Majesty, let's have breakfast first." Queen Tian scooped up a bowl of eight-treasure porridge for her husband.

"Okay." Wu Wangsheng suppressed his anxiety, drank two bowls of porridge, ate half a cage of steamed buns, wiped his mouth with the napkin in front of him, and looked at Queen Tian eagerly.

Queen Tian saw her husband looking at her longingly, so she had to speed up her meal. After breakfast, Queen Tian took the newspaper that smelled of ink on the table. "My lord, should I read the Romance of the Gods first, or the short story first?"

"Small story, read the little story first." Seeing his wife pick up the newspaper, Wu Wangsheng suddenly became happy.

"Okay, Your Majesty." The newspaper in Queen Tian's hand was only an octavo size, with black letters printed on the front and back. "Today's short story is about the tortoise and the hare."

"The tortoise and the hare?" Wu Wangsheng tilted his head.

"That's right, it's a story about a race between a tortoise and a rabbit." Queen Tian scanned the content of the story.

"How can a tortoise outrun a rabbit?" Wu Wangsheng yelled.

"My lord, the tortoise can run faster than the rabbit, and it won the running race!" The female officer serving beside him interrupted with a smile. The female officer had already read the little story while Wu Wang and his wife had breakfast.

"Qiang, quickly read to Gu." Wu Wangsheng couldn't wait to hear the content of the story.

Queen Tian glanced at the female officer, cleared her throat, and began to read short stories to her husband.

When Queen Tian was reading a short story to her husband, Zhao Xuan, the prince of Zhao, was teasing his three-month-old son.Princess Zhao gave birth to Zhao Xuan's eldest son in July this year.

"Prince, Wu's family is asking to see you." Just as Zhao Xuan was enjoying the family relationship with his wife and children, the waiter announced loudly outside the door.

"Oh, Wu Sheren, please go to the study and wait." Zhao Xuan heard the waiter's announcement, and quickly handed his son to the princess, and the maid next to him hurried forward to change Zhao Xuan's clothes.

When Zhao Xuan left, the smile on the Crown Princess' face disappeared immediately.

"Ma'am, that concubine is only three months pregnant, and I don't know if she is a boy or a girl. Even if she gives birth to a son, she is just a concubine, so there is nothing to be afraid of." The concubine's confidant maid knew what the housewife was thinking, and stepped forward to comfort her.

The Crown Princess put her son on the couch and sat on the side of the couch. She didn't know that Ai Ji's status was low, and even a man could not threaten the status of her and her son. But since she became pregnant, Ai Ji dominated Zhao Xuan Zhao Xuan didn't spend the night with her and other concubines until Ai Ji was diagnosed by a doctor last month. After marrying Zhao Xuan, the princess has loved her husband deeply. Every time the husband spends the night with other concubines, the princess feels I can't control the sourness of boiling.

"Hey, it's better to be single-minded than to be rich and honored." The crown princess sighed quietly towards the door.

"What is this?" What Zhao Xuan looked at over and over again was the newspaper that was only available at the Wu Guofeng Harvest Festival.

"This is Wenhui Newspaper." Wu Mian bent down and reported.

"What's the use?" Zhao Xuan looked carefully at the paper in his hand. This paper had a date, and the date showed that it was last month.

"There are all kinds of content on it. There are short stories, and there are serialized long stories called Fengshen Yanyi, and there are also Gongsun Pan's forecasts on the weather." In addition to these, there are explanations of certain passages in ancient books in the newspaper. After reading the short story published by the author.In the cracks of the newspaper, there are two small articles promoting Nanbu silk and tea. These small articles are said to be advertisements.

"This Gongsun Pan's weather forecast is very accurate." Gongsun Pan predicted at the beginning of September that the temperature in Wu State would drop sharply around October, and that this winter in Wu State would be very cold.

"Yes, the people of Wu state call Mr. Gongsun a living immortal." Wu Mi peeked at Zhao Xuan's expression. Zhao Xuan went to ask Gongsun Pan to go down the mountain to no avail. After returning, he thought that Gongsun Pan was useless, but Gongsun Pan's accurate forecast of the weather made people The people of Wu State avoided a lot of losses.

Zhao Xuan pursed his lips and did not answer. He did not take Gongsun Pan to heart, but he never forgot Chu Yu who he met at the foot of Qimen Mountain. Unfortunately, the envoys sent to Lu State to find Chu Yu were all disappointed. There was no famous family in Lu State. That handsome young man named Chu Yu.

"Yugong Yishan?" Zhao Xuan saw the little story. "It's an interesting little story."

"The most interesting thing is the post-reading article, the article is thought-provoking, and this person has great talent." Wu Milling highly praised the post-reading article signed by the pioneer.

"Be as persistent and tenacious as a mountain, and then declare war on fate. I believe that the sweat that falls will eventually nourish a green shade, and the only ones who destroy the mountain are ourselves. Because we are thousands of foolish old men." Zhao Xuan read the final speech of the article, but there was no sound for a long time.

After a while, the sound of "hee hee soo" from the newspaper sounded in the study. "Wu Xian, let the spies of King Wu's Capital deliver every newspaper back to the Prince's Mansion as quickly as possible."

"Here!" Wu Xian led the order to leave the study.

Zhao Xuan frowned deeply, stared at the snow on the branches outside the window, and muttered to himself: "Young Master Ming, what kind of person are you? This Yugong testimonial is your work?"
