The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

The two children didn't see each other for a few days, as if it had been several autumns, and when they met, they got together and chatted non-stop.Li Wen disliked the two little ones for being too noisy, so he drove them out to play outside.

"Brother, Yangyang and I went to the back yard to play."

The two boys were eager to go out to play, one dragged the other and ran outside. There are many interesting things in the back yard, which is their favorite place to go.

"Okay, let's play with you."

Seeing the two boys go out, Li Wen ignored them and continued to discuss business with Bai Yu, "Before I talked with the emperor about the newspaper office, the newspaper office was originally approved by the late emperor when he was here. It is run in the name of the emperor, not in my own name, so from this point of view, the newspaper office is equal to the official.”

The matter of the newspaper office is more troublesome, because although the first emperor approved his newspaper office and publishing newspapers, but the manpower and the cost of publishing newspapers, etc., all the money invested in the early stage are all paid by them. So the profits of the newspapers in the future are all taken by them.When the late emperor was still there, he never took care of the newspaper affairs at all, and they have always been in charge of it.

Now that the former emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne to take charge of the government, Li Wen had to explain to the emperor one by one what he was holding in his hand, so he naturally talked about the newspaper office and the newspaper.

Not only did he know the role of the newspaper, but the emperor must also have realized the impact of this small newspaper.

"Although the emperor didn't say it clearly, the newspaper office is under the name of the government. Who will be responsible for publishing the newspaper at that time? I have to discuss it with the Minister of the Household Department." The emperor didn't ask him, but He had to give it away, because these things were originally official, and now that the "Minbao" has such a great influence, it is not appropriate for them to continue to hold them in their hands. In theory, they have to return them to the government.

Originally, the newspaper office and the newspaper were run by them alone. Today's "Min Bao" can have such a great influence, and he himself has spent a lot of effort on it.But there is no way now, the People’s Daily is run in the name of the government, and it belongs to the government in nature.

If the newspaper office is classified as official, all the members of the newspaper office can be formally incorporated into the official staff. In fact, this is a good thing for Zhang Qing and Feng Chenggui.And at that time, in addition to running newspapers here in the capital, they will also distribute newspaper offices throughout Dacheng. This is equivalent to having all the information of Dacheng in their hands. Naturally, this one will be under the control of the government.

Li Wen didn't tell Bai Yu about some things that were inconvenient to talk about, he only picked out a few things that he could talk about and made them clear to Bai Yu, because they might stop publishing the newspaper and hand over the newspaper to the government. people.

"In a few years, I will negotiate with the household department, and I will tell you and shopkeeper Zhang at that time, how to deal with it. If the newspaper is directly taken away from the bookstore at that time, it will be a big deal for us to deal with it at that time." Just hire someone to run a newspaper office and publish another newspaper." Li Wen said.

If the newspapers were taken away from the bookstore, the profit of the bookstore would be directly reduced by more than [-]%. Don't look at the few copper coins of such a newspaper, but it can't stand up to the large sales volume.Last year, the income from the newspaper alone was higher than the sales of other books in the bookstore.

They have experience in running newspapers, and it is not difficult to publish another newspaper.

"Well, I understand what your lord said." Bai Yu said.

It’s just that it’s one thing to understand, and I feel somewhat unwilling and unwilling in my heart. After all, this is what they put their minds into running. Now who in the capital doesn’t know that "Min Bao" needs to run another newspaper than the current one. One copy is okay, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult.But the adults said so, originally this thing belonged to the imperial court, they definitely couldn't hold it in their hands all the time.

They opened several branches here in the capital city last year. If they want to expand their business, they must open the shops outside the capital city, and go to various towns throughout Dacheng. The two of them have some common ideas in this regard.

Now Li Wen is focusing on business development and planning. He is relatively clear and understands the government's plan. He mentioned some things that he can say to Bai Yu in advance, "You just need to know about these things."

Bai Yu nodded, understanding what his lord said to him.

Now the shop under his name is handed over to Bai Yu to take care of, small matters are all left to Bai Yu to make decisions, he only needs to be responsible for controlling a general direction here.Li Wen said with a smile, "I let you do it now. Since I chose you, I just trust you and don't let me down."

Apart from Zhuangmeng Pavilion, which is solely owned by him, Shili Piaoxiang and the bookstore both have investment from Zhao Xiangyicheng.Although with the current relationship between the two people, there is no need to make a clear distinction, but for the share that should be given to Zhao Xiangyi, Li Wen asked someone else to take it out.

Come.

Years ago, he gave the ledger and dividends to his man, but his man didn't take it and let him keep it here, so he happily put it away and put it away.

"Yes, my lord, I will definitely live up to your lord's expectations of me." Bai Yu looked at their lords, feeling nervous in his heart, but more importantly, he wanted to do a good job for their lords, and live up to their lords' expectations of him. Care and look forward to.

The two talked about the business for a while, and after finishing the business, they chatted a few off-topic words.

Over there, Li Jinwan knew that her fiancé was coming, so she sent a maid over there to inquire about it. Knowing that the business was over there, she dressed up in the boudoir, dressed in beautiful clothes, and came over to her elder brother's courtyard with her skirt. .

"Okay, you two can do whatever you want." Seeing these two people sitting opposite each other and flirting with each other, he has become a light bulb sitting here, Li Wen waved his hand to let the two people Hurry up, don't get in his eyes here.

"Third Brother, Bai Yu and I want to go up the mountain to worship God, do you want to go together?"

They made an appointment years ago to go up the mountain to worship God today, and Li Jinwan asked her brother if he wanted to go together.

"I won't go with you, you go." Li Wen asked them to bring the two younger ones with him, and the two younger ones followed him

The house was also very boring, so he sent guards to go with them, so as not to lose the two younger ones by accident because the two older ones were just talking about love all day long.

Knowing that they can go out to play, the two boys are very happy.

Li Haopeng still tortured his elder brother, wanting his elder brother to go out with them, but he gave up when he heard that elder brother said that he was really tired and didn't want to go, and he said earnestly, "Elder brother, you should rest at home."

Li Wen couldn't help laughing, and said, "All right, go play and be careful."

The carriage parked at the door was waiting for them to go out.

"Third brother, we are going out."

"go Go."

Li Jinwan happily went out with her fiancé.

Li Wen watched from behind, and it really was the water thrown by the married girl. Before she got married, it already belonged to someone else's family.

The two younger ones were watched by guards, and he wasn't worried.

A large group of people in the family, big and small, went out, but Li Wen didn't go with them. He wondered whether he could climb up the mountain now or not, and he might as well hold his corpse at home.After resting enough, go out to meet his family's men later, Xie Yunfei and the others may come over, and maybe a group of people will drink at that time.

Steward Sun didn't look too good when he saw their adults, and they seemed to be in a bad mood. When he thought about the little general who spent the night in their courtyard yesterday, he knew what was going on with their adults without even thinking about it.

Seeing the big housekeeper in their house staring at him, Li Wen felt a little nervous, got up, waved his hands and said, "I'll go back to sleep for a while, if you want to go out for a walk, go out." There are not many people, and he is not a master who needs to be followed all the time, which is why he didn't buy so many slaves back, and he has to rely on him to support them.

It would be difficult for him to support himself if he just got some salary, let alone support such a house full of people.Fortunately, he didn't rely on that little salary to live, otherwise life would be really difficult.

"Master, go slowly." Butler Sun didn't follow their adults, but stood behind and watched them leave.

"I'll sleep for a while, don't bother me if there's nothing to do." Back in his own room, Li Wen told him not to disturb him if he had nothing to do, then lifted the quilt and lay back on the bed.

"Young master, go to sleep, the younger one will help the young master watch the door, so that no one will wake you up."

Li Tong added a handful of firewood to the fireplace, and exited lightly.

The room was quiet and sleepy, and Li Wen fell asleep shortly after he closed his eyes...

General's Mansion

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, rich families pay attention to the younger generation to pay New Year greetings to the younger generation.

It was very late that day when Zhao Xiangyi returned from Liuyuan Mansion, and he was the last one to go to pay his respects to the old lady.Seeing that the eldest grandson was the last to come to pay her New Year's greetings, the old lady was not very happy on the face. After all, it was the first day of the new year, and she didn't make things difficult for the eldest grandson. She let him go after saying a few words .

After greeting his grandmother, Zhao Xiangyi followed his aunt to his aunt's yard.

Last night, the son said to go back to his own yard early, and Mrs. Zhao guessed that the son was not at the house, and he just came back from outside this morning.As for where her son went at night, Mrs. Zhao had some guesses in her heart, but she was not sure if it was what she thought.

It's not easy to ask too directly about this kind of thing. If it's really what she thinks, I'm afraid it's not good.

Mrs. Wang winked and told all the servants in the house to go down. Even the youngest son was taken out by the nanny first, and then he asked the eldest son who rarely came to her yard, "Yi'er, what are you doing?" Last time I told my mother that there is a girl I like, tell me, which family is the girl from?"
