Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

Chapter 114 Newspapers

The sixth day of June, Aping's birthday, is also a traditional festival. On June [-]th, the dragon robes are dried, and the common people dry their bedding and clothes.

For Aping's birthday, everything is kept simple.But Xiao Yu still did it himself, steamed a steamed bun for A Ping, made a multicolored rooster with vegetable juice, fruit juice and flower petal juice, because A Ping belongs to the chicken.

This colorful fat rooster is charmingly naive. When Ah Ping saw this gift, he liked it so much that he was reluctant to let go of it and eat it.

Sigui teased him: "Ah Ping, do you want to eat, or I will eat if you don't."

Ah Ping hugged the fat cock: "Don't eat my fat cock, it was given to me by my husband."

Xiao Yu said: "Ah Ping, you should eat it. You can't keep this one. It will go bad after a long time. If you like small cocks, ask someone from Cifang to burn you a set tomorrow, and that one won't go bad." .”

A Ping stroked the fat cock, looked left and right, still reluctant to speak, raised his head, and looked at Xiao Yu with big black eyes: "Can I eat tonight?"

Xiao Yu smiled and patted his head: "Okay, let's eat tonight. Let's go, I'll take you out to play. I heard that the street is very lively today, let's go and watch the excitement."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!But the adults are busy, he seldom goes out, he can only play in the mansion, and the horse tails in the stables in the backyard are almost bald by him.

Xiao Yu bent down and picked up A Ping, the little guy put his arms around his neck, and kissed his cheek: "I like you the most!"

Xiao Yu laughed.

Pei Linzhi looked at A Ping jealously, why this brat could kiss Xiao Yu anytime and anywhere, and he could only do this after closing the door.

"Stinky boy, you are three years old, come down and walk by yourself, don't let the gentleman hug you." Pei Linzhi said.

A Ping wrinkled his nose at him: "I don't care, I'll let Lang Jun hug me."

Lai Feng said: "Your Majesty, let me hug you."

"It's okay, I can hug him. I'll let him down when I'm tired." Xiao Yu said.

After the carriage left, Xiao Yu rolled up the curtains and looked at the scenery on the street from the window.

Sure enough, every household is drying quilts and clothes, for adults and children, in all seasons.

Most of them are indigo, black, white and other colors, and there are few bright colors. There is no way, the dyeing agent is limited, and the color is not easy to fix, and it is easy to fall off if it is dyed.If anyone can see other than these colors, it is definitely something worth showing off.

Drying clothes and quilts on June [-] actually means some comparisons. Comparing with neighbors, whoever has more clothes and quilts has better ones.

After driving for a certain distance, Ah Ping suddenly shouted: "Wow, it's so beautiful!"

Pei Linzhi also let out a "hoo": "It's such a big show, it's even hung on a street. Which one is this?"

Xiao Yu looked at the window on the other side, and suddenly there were many people outside, rushing towards a street called Anshun Street on the left.And the entire Anshun Street is covered with colorful cloth hanging from the second floor facing the street. When the wind blows, it flutters and flutters, which is truly spectacular.

Meng Sigui who was accompanying outside the carriage poked his head over: "Master, it should be the Wu family, this street belongs to the Wu family."

Xiao Yu asked, "Wu Canjun's family?"

Meng Sigui nodded: "Exactly. The largest medical clinic in the city is here on Anshun Street. I have been here many times."

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "The Wu family is indeed rich, and the entire Panyu city is not as colorful as his family."

After walking for a while, Xiao Yu realized that he was still too ignorant. The trees beside the road were covered with multicolored silks. It didn't look like drying cloth, but it was clearly showing off his wealth. He actually saw the words written in the history books. Under the circumstances, these aristocratic families actually compete for wealth in this way!

"Which one is this?" Xiao Yu asked.

Ji Hai went to inquire and came back: "Your Majesty, it belongs to the He family."

Except for the Wu family and the He family, the other big families were not to be outdone. Even the Lin family who walked closest to Xiao Yu also posted a lot, but there were no other exaggerations.

It is said that the Chen family was there in previous years, and the scene was even more exaggerated.

Xiao Yu looked at it all the way, and the more he looked, the more he became speechless: "Forget it, don't read it, go to Yiming Club."

The Yiming club is very lively.A few days ago, under Xiao Yu's order, all the brothels in the city were banned, and those young masters from wealthy families gathered in teahouses because they had nowhere to spend their time.

The originally clean Yiming Club has become lively, and people have become a mixed bag. Some people are participating in debates, some are drinking tea and reading books, and some are talking, bragging and farting.

They entered the private room at the back, and Lin Haisheng, who was in charge of the shopkeeper, came up to entertain them in person: "Your Majesty and the general haven't been to the teahouse for a long time."

Pei Linzhi frowned: "Take a good look at the teahouse, why did it turn into a miasma?"

Lin Haisheng was also quite helpless: "Your Majesty banned brothels a few days ago, and all the guests who used to visit brothels came to our teahouse. Open the door to welcome guests, and I can't keep the guests out."

Xiao Yu didn't care about it: "It's okay, it's good to have a lot of people, and it's easy to collect information. Haisheng asked the waiter in the teahouse to pay more attention, and he should be able to receive a lot of useful information. Regarding the banning of the brothel, what is the attitude of these people? ?”

Speaking of this, Lin Haisheng had something to say: "In the first few days, those people had very strong opinions, and they all criticized His Majesty."

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows: "Oh, what are you criticizing me for?"

"Some of them said that His Majesty took those girls for his own use, and some people said that His Majesty has special hobbies, no, not good at women." Lin Haisheng glanced at Xiao Yu at this point, and dared not continue.

Pei Linzhi blushed: "Bold!"

Xiao Yu couldn't help laughing out loud: "I dare to guess. Let them go. There are no brothels to visit. It's not good to go back and spend more time with your wife and children."

Lin Haisheng said: "But there are also people who say that the banning of serious brothels may make prostitutes rampant."

Xiao Yu said: "Then let the government arrest him, and if caught, he will be punished."

He also knew that it was impossible to completely prohibit this kind of thing, because there would always be some shameless people who would use their flesh and blood to make money. The money came easily, but the attitude of the government must be established and severely cracked down.

Lin Haisheng added: "It is estimated that the number of concubines will increase recently, and many people say they are tired of their yellow-faced women."

Xiao Yu sneered: "It seems that a new marriage order has to be promulgated. Not only men can divorce their wives, but women can also divorce their husbands."

As soon as Xiao Yu said this, everyone in the room showed surprised expressions. It has always been the case that a chicken follows a chicken and a dog follows a dog. Women do not have the right to marry independently.

Seeing everyone's astonished expressions, Xiao Yu said, "Do you think it's strange? What I said about equality between men and women is not just shouting."

Not only that, but he also needs to revise the inheritance law and maintenance law, not only men have inheritance rights and maintenance obligations, but women also have inheritance rights and maintenance obligations.Only when women's basic rights are protected can they have the confidence to ask for a divorce.

Just taking advantage of the small population in the three prefectures of Guangjiaoya, these laws were tried out in advance, and revised while trying out. When the world is unified, there will be a basis for full implementation.

Pei Linzhi said: "What your majesty said is reasonable, and I support your majesty's approach."

Xiao Yu looked at Pei Linzhi, and raised the corner of his mouth. Although Pei Linzhi may not be able to fully understand his thoughts and actions, his attitude that everything you say is right makes him very happy, at least he is not fighting alone.

Lin Haisheng also said: "Recently, a lot of scholars from the north have come to the teahouse. Some of them seem to be short of money. They have run out of money and have nowhere to go. They sell calligraphy and paintings on the street during the day and sleep in teahouses at night. I can't drive people away, but it's not an option to go on like this for a long time, please tell your Majesty how to deal with it."

Xiao Yu thought for a while: "Tomorrow, the Ministry of Rites will post a notice at the entrance of the teahouse, and all candidates who come from other places must report to the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites will arrange board and lodging in a unified way. If you can't make a living, you will go to school after the school starts in September." The school is the teacher. I will refer to it next spring."

Since they are here to join themselves, they should at least give these students the most basic guarantee of life.

Pei Linzhi said: "Your Majesty is short of manpower, why don't you take another exam?"

Xiao Yu said: "It will be messed up in this way, and I will be busy with the selection examination all year long. When the world is stable, the selection examination cannot be taken every year, otherwise the bureaucracy will be too bloated and it will become a burden for the country. "

When they came out of the tea house, they met Wang Qi at the door.

Surprised, Wang Qi hurried over to say hello: "Your Majesty also came to the teahouse today?"

Xiao Yu said, "Master Wang is also a regular visitor here?"

Wang Qi said: "Come and sit down when you have time, and listen to the opinions of scholars."

Xiao Yu nodded: "That's right. By the way, I have an idea I've always wanted to tell Mr. Wang."

Wang Qi hurriedly said: "Please speak, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yu said: "Is there enough movable type printing? I want to make a periodical and print it regularly. It can publish the new policies, laws, or social events of the imperial court, or the comments of scholars or officials. Or poems, sketches. The content of each issue is not repeated, and it is published once every half month or once a month. As for the source of manuscripts, you can solicit manuscripts on the Yimingshe bulletin board."

Wang Qi showed an excited expression: "Your Majesty understands what I mean. This is a channel for scholars all over the world to understand information and a chance to show their talents?"

Xiao Yu nodded: "Yes, that's what it means. Movable type printing is convenient for typesetting, and it can be issued in a fixed amount each time. It can be free or charged, and the charge doesn't need to be too high."

Wang Qi cupped his hands: "Your Majesty is so wise that he can even think of such a method. Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Xiao Yu said: "After the manuscript is finalized, send it to me for review first."

"According to the order!"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly: "Then Mr. Wang, go get busy, we'll go first."

With newspapers, you can grasp public opinion and guide the people's thinking.

If the shops in this city are opened in the future, they can still advertise in the newspapers and charge an advertising fee!

"Respectfully send off Your Majesty!" Wang Qi respectfully sent Xiao Yu into the car.

In the car, Pei Linzhi looked sideways at Xiao Yu, but didn't speak.

Xiao Yu turned to look at him: "What are you looking at?"

Pei Linzhi said, "I was thinking, why do you have so many wonderful ideas?"

Xiao Yu laughed and leaned into his ear: "You forgot, I am a person who has accumulated thousands of years of wisdom."

Pei Linzhi's eyes are full of pampering, and he really wants to hold him in his arms and love him. How could he be so lucky to have such a lovely and interesting person.

Xiao Yu said: "When you have time later, you can go and see those brothel girls for me. Those who have artistic talents will jump out and let them form an art troupe, and then they will perform. I also plan to open another teahouse and let these girls perform. , let those dandies have a place to kill their time, they can only watch but not touch, whoever is unruly and dares to speak offensively will be slapped!"

Pei Linzhi boasted: "This method is also very wonderful!"
