Great Song

Ever since Ling Xiaozi went to make lead type with great enthusiasm, Li Gefei cheered up.The good days of publishing every three days may not last long, so we must save as many manuscripts as possible to avoid the dilemma of having no manuscripts available.

There is no need to worry about the script.Wang Yuanzi's "Biography of Su Dingfang" was so well received that even his canopy was overcrowded.Immediately several well-known storytellers in Tokyo came to their door. Zhang Qisheng from Xizhou Wazi even announced that as long as he could publish his "Wei Gong Li Jing Biography", he would not need to pay for the writing fee.With so many story books, it will probably be published until next year, so there is no need to worry.

And the anecdote in the market has a simple origin.As long as you go to Kaifeng Mansion or Dali Temple to find two knife and pen officials, you will have all kinds of anecdotes, and you don't have to worry about losing manuscripts.

But the headlines written by myself and essays by Su Song and Shen Kuo are not so easy to deal with.One article in three days is okay, if it is changed to one article in one day, it will be difficult for me to write it, not to mention the two officials Su and Shen who are busy with official duties.Fortunately, the Han officials thought carefully.In the first two issues of the tabloid, a notice was published, stating that a "mailbox" for submissions was set up in front of Han's glass and mirror shop, and that once accepted, they would be given bonus money.

Han's glass mirror shop is now very famous in Shilin.In Li Gefei's mind, scholars in the most benevolent place in the capital had to go to Beijing to take the exam, and they had to go to the literary society to publicize their fame.If there are talents who are willing to condescend to the tabloids, it may not be impossible to find excellent works.

However, when he actually opened the mailbox and took out stacks of letters from it, he realized that his thinking was wrong.Not all of the letters were from contributors, but more from weird things.What reminds the story, scolds the anecdotes for corrupting the atmosphere, and the first sentence of the comment is not good, and the bullshit does not make sense.There were even a few letters, asking the gifted scholar who wrote the front page if he was married, and wanted to betroth his beloved daughter to him.

Li Gefei was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.But fortunately, there are also useful manuscripts.Many people were nostalgic by Su Song's travel notes, and some were inspired by Shen Kuo's essays and came up with weird ideas.Of course, it is still the same as the headline, with the most comments on current events.However, this kind of writing is less accessible and refined.There are also some who can't help but insist on talking about the government, and they will not be hired.

On the contrary, there are some small articles pointing out the lack of headlines, or in-depth discussions on the situation in the border counties of the Tang Dynasty, which are very essential.Li Gefei was thinking whether to set up a special column after a while, put some arguments, let them refute each other, it should be quite interesting to read.

But even though it was cumbersome, Li Gefei was quite useful for these letters.This is not participating in a literary meeting, or criticizing poems among classmates and friends.They don't know each other, and most of them use pseudonyms, so they speak naturally and heartily.And those who express their approval, or even praise, make people feel more happy, like finding a confidant.

Isn't that what the article is published for?While Li Gefei was happy reading it, he had to sort out the letters sent to other contributors and send them to Shen Kuo and Su Song.Unexpectedly, when he opened the letter today, he only read two lines, his eyelids twitched, and he got up to look for Han Miao.

"Why is Uncle Wen here?" Seeing Li Gefei, Han Miao greeted him with a smile, "I was just about to tell you that the print run of the Rixin Daily has increased to [-], and I'm afraid it can sell some around Tokyo. "

This tabloid has only been in operation for a month, and it has such sales, which is really amazing.And because the price is too cheap, even if other bookstores want to pirate, they may not be able to press the same price.That being the case, the counties and counties around Tokyo can also be bought and sold by the way.There are Han's shops in Hebei Road and Yingtianfu, which have been included in Han Miao's consideration.

As for the publication of the poster in the Rixin newspaper, some people were also moved and came to inquire.If this can be done, it is estimated that Li Gefei will have to arrange a few more men.

Li Gefei came to Han Miao today, but it was not for this reason.Taking out a letter, he said nervously: "Mr. Han, I received a letter today, which seems to be written by Wang Linchuan..."

There is only one person who can use Linchuan to refer to it.Han Miao raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Let me see."

After handing over the letter, Li Gefei couldn't help but said again: "Mr. Linchuan is a master of articles, could it be that he is dissatisfied with the tabloids?"

Letter, of course he has read it.Li Gefei was even more disturbed just because he had seen it.Wang Anshi has been famous for a long time, his articles are the most famous in the world, his pen is powerful, and his writing is straightforward, which is no less than that of the current Wenzong Ouyang Xiu.Before that, he had been raised in the countryside for several years, and now he has just become a scholar of the Imperial Academy, so he can enter the right emperor.This is obviously going to be of great use!

A Wenzong, who was also appointed as Zaifu, suddenly sent a letter asking about the national debt, which made Li Gefei's hairs stand on end.Of course he knew that the original intention of this tabloid was to promote the Battle of Hehuang so that Han Xianggong could promote the creation of national debt.But Wang Anshi suddenly appeared, what happened?Do you want to hinder?This is fatal!As far as his essay writing is concerned, he is far inferior to Wang Anshi. If he is scolded publicly, he will simply be unable to resist.

Han Miao remained calm, and Zhan Xin looked at it.After a while, he sighed softly: "Mr. Linchuan, you are truly a Confucian."

Han Qi had mentioned Wang Anshi to him several times before, and they all said that he was stubborn and stubborn, and he was unbearable to be a prime minister.These Han Miao didn't take it seriously, but after reading the letter, he had to sigh with emotion.This man's rigor in scholarship, wide experience, and even thoughtful vision can be seen in just a few words.The national debt will lead to mergers, which will benefit the rich, and there is even a certain possibility that most of the recovered Hehuang will fall into the hands of the rich.It's not like he didn't think about these things.But it is better to turn the wolf's head to look at other food than to take it from its mouth.What's more, the annexed house is a wolf, so what is the imperial court?Allowing the imperial court to pursue profits is probably more terrifying than wolves snatching food.

"I'll reply to Mr. Linchuan personally. Uncle Wen doesn't have to worry. Mr. Han is behind this matter, so you can just publish the newspaper." Han Miao comforted him with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Gefei calmed down a little.That's right, Mr. Han asked this newspaper to run, maybe the emperor will read it.There is no room for him to intervene in such a big matter, it is better to concentrate on the matter at hand.

After sending the letter, Wang Anshi didn't take this matter to heart.From his point of view, no matter who runs the newspaper, Han Qi will be heard.Maybe in the end, he and Han Qi are still required to deal with Chaotang.When it comes to eloquence, he claims that he is not inferior to anyone, even in the face of Han Qi.

However, unexpectedly, the next day, he received a reply letter.It was a letter with extremely straightforward words, not at all the style of the headlines of the Rixin newspaper, but the words in the letter made Wang Anshi's brows become more and more wrinkled.

"Money is like water, and it moves to support people... The four peoples are in charge of their duties, and they should not be replaced indiscriminately... An annexed house is also divided into big and small..."

The words in the letter are not spoken as a scholar, but from the mouth of a businessman, explaining the process of money operation.Workers and peasants work to generate wealth, merchants buy and sell, circulate wealth, scholars and herdsmen distribute wealth.Just like a big river, the process of money flow also enables all classes to be nourished and survived.If you cut off a certain point, let the river stop flowing.No matter how much water is cut in the reservoir, it is still a pool of stagnant water, unable to support the people.

It is also a merger, there are high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen with a thousand hectares of fertile land, and there are also wealthy households with less than a hundred acres of land and a few cattle and sheep.If mergers are strictly curbed, which one will suffer more?Aren't these rich households the citizens of the country, and aren't they hard-earned money?If you want to help the poor, you can't just exploit their wealth, but find other ways to give the poor a way out.

And the most important sentence.

"Profit is like a tiger. The court seeks profit, so it is possible to control it? If there is no sage king and virtuous minister, he must choose someone to eat. Mister, you only look at the present and don't care about future generations?"

Wang Anshi sighed.Those words were not what those around him would say.Too straightforward, too vulgar, not even a single allusion was used.However, some words are true.Reform is difficult, so why is he not cautious and cautious, not daring to act rashly?It's just that Wang Shao's "Ping Rong Ce" is in front of him, and it's really hard to let go.To make the country rich and the army strong, to pacify the Liao and Xia Dynasties, and to regain the homeland, is it not his lifelong long-cherished wish?

For this idea, even if it is the emperor, he is not afraid.It's just that this kid surnamed Han is right about one thing.Even if he can control the government, it will only be a few years.If people go to the government to rest, can this change change the fate of the country?

Maybe, it should be more cautious.

However, no matter how insightful this kid surnamed Han can make money, Han Qi can no longer stay in office.Wang Anshi also understood Han Qi. He was resolute and courageous, and had the heart to strengthen the country, but in essence, he was still a senior official who had been an official for generations.As a family of mergers, how can you be willing to take risks and decide to reform?It is precisely because of this that Fan Zhongyan will not be able to return to the court all his life, but he has been the prime minister for a full ten years.

If we don't curb redundant officials and soldiers, how can we revitalize the hard-won dynasty?If the national debt is used, I am afraid that Han Qi's aspect will be stabilized for some time...

Just thinking about it, his body suddenly shook.Holding onto the desk, Wang Anshi's expression changed.It's an earthquake!Didn't it just shake last year? Why did it shake again?Fortunately, the shock subsided in just a moment.Wang Anshi didn't care about the panic-stricken family members, walked to the window and looked out.

I just hope that no houses in Beijing will collapse and hurt Li Shu.

"It's shaking again! Fortunately, I was prepared!" Zhen Qiong wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a long breath.His precious Danfang is the one most afraid of earthquakes.In case bottles and jars are knocked over, it will burn lightly, and it is not impossible to blow up to the sky.

Fortunately, when the earthquake happened two days ago, he made preparations.Not only did he put away all the bottles and cans in his Taoist temple, but he also sent someone to tell Su Song to keep an eye on gunpowder and not cause trouble.Su Song still doesn't believe it.Don't even think about it, how can something like an earthquake be over in one go?There are always aftershocks.No, just after giving the instructions, it shook again!

"Teacher, is it possible that the earthquake will still happen? But is there any warning from the sky?" Qingfeng came out of the sewer, and the most feared thing is the earthquake.Hearing that it would still shake, his face turned pale with fright.

Zhen Qiong groaned: "Who knows? But near a major earthquake, there will always be continuous small earthquakes, so don't take it too seriously. When people wake up, they will turn over on the bed a few times, let alone Dilong gone."

How could anyone speak like that?Qingfeng couldn't laugh or cry, but he was even more worried: "But this movement is not too big? Could it be that there is a bigger earthquake, waiting behind?"

"It may not be that Tokyo is going to shake, maybe it's somewhere else?" Zhen Qiong shrugged.This kind of thing, their school of seeking knowledge has not researched why, so what does he know?

Of course, this was said casually. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the news would come quickly.Heshuo earthquake!
