Chapter 59
A group of uncles were very angry.
Uncle Xu Zheng frowned, "Their products are much cheaper than ours, why don't our Xu's supermarket also lower their prices?"
Xu Changsheng shook his head, it would not work to solve this problem with a price war, it would only hurt both sides.
Moreover, most of their Xujia Village's current money is used to repair the cement road from Chang'an to Xujia Village. Funds are at their most tight time, not the time to fight a price war.
What's more, their Xu family has no foundation, and the details of this wealthy business house are not clear.
This is also the most troublesome thing. Don't forget, Xu's Supermarket has many military general families joining, and the backstage is not small, but the other party still dares to declare war on them, and the forces behind it will not be simple.
Xu Changsheng thought for a while, "Let's look at the situation first, our Xu Family Supermarket has been open for so long, and we might be knocked down in one fell swoop."
The most important thing now is to find out what the other party is from.
The next day, people in Xujia Village began to inquire, and by the way, the newsboy who peddled the newspaper also paid attention to the news.
What Xu Changsheng didn't expect was that the other party had no intention of hiding it at all.
In less than a day, the news was collected, and the details of the other party were found out.
Xu Changsheng was silent.
According to the gathered information, this wealthy firm is really... a firm with a strong background, a firm jointly established by the four major families of Wang, Cui, Lu, and Zheng.
Do you know what the four families of Wang, Cui, Lu and Zheng represent?
In the later genealogy of the Tang Dynasty, Wang, Cui, Lu, and Zheng were extremely high-ranking families in the Tang Dynasty, and their influence was huge both in the court and in the market.
They represent the power of the aristocratic family, no wonder they dare to compete with their Xu Family Supermarket for business without any scruples.
Everyone can see how profitable Xujiacun's business is, but because some Wu Xun families have joined, ordinary people really dare not join in.
Xu Changsheng also knew that they would definitely make people jealous for making so much money, but he didn't expect that the first enemy would be a business firm formed by aristocratic families.
Xu Changsheng pretended to pass by the other party's supermarket today. The decoration of the other party was completely imitated of their Xu's supermarket. It could even be said to be exactly the same.
The only difference is that they didn't have gardenias for decoration. However, they imitated Xu Changsheng's idea and changed the gardenias into peonies, which looked quite majestic and attracted many people.
The most important thing is that because of relying on the aristocratic family, the productivity of this wealthy firm is much stronger than that of the Xu Family Supermarket, and the goods are full, while the Xu Family Supermarket sometimes runs out of stock.
The uncle of the Xu family was also silent, "What should we do now?"
Xu Changsheng didn't speak. At this time, an uncle of the family came in, holding a large bag of things in his hand, and opened it. Inside were some products sold by Fugui Trading Company, which completely imitated their Xu's supermarket.
This was bought by Xu Changsheng asking his uncle to go in in disguise.
Xu Changsheng took a taste of the spicy dried tofu and pickled pepper chicken feet.
Datang also has chili peppers, but they are only used as medicinal materials. The other party should buy chili peppers in pharmacies. Although it is not as spicy as Xu Changsheng's devil chili pepper, the spiciness is still acceptable.
Other family uncles also tasted it, "It's not as delicious as our Xujia Village."
Xu Changsheng thought, of course, although they imitated the method, some condiments are only available in their Xujia Village, and they are all grown from the seeds in the leather box he traveled through. If they want to get these condiments, now It is estimated that only outside the domain.
"Although they are not as delicious as ours, they are cheap."
Xu Changsheng also nodded. The people of Datang are not as picky as he is, and they will be attracted to many customers. Even if they miss the taste of Xujiacun’s products, they may just buy some from time to time, instead of buying them all in their Xujia supermarket like before. Buy.
At this time, another Xu family uncle brought in a bicycle.
Xu Changsheng was taken aback, "Is this our bicycle that the other party imitated?"
Uncle Clan nodded.
Xu Changsheng took a look and found that they were exactly the same.
Bicycles have always been a very big source of income for Xujia Village.
However, due to insufficient productivity in Xujia Village, many people did not buy it.
The uncle said again, "Their production volume is several times that of ours, and now they are selling like crazy. What should we do?"
Yes, the other party has the support of a family. Once they steal their technology, they can mass-produce it faster than them and at a lower price than them.
The sale of bicycles is probably the most severely hit item in Xujia Village.
Xu Changsheng frowned, it was really troublesome, and said, "It's okay, let me think of a way first."
He thought about it for several days.
And a lot has happened in the past few days.
For example, Fugui Commercial Bank also started to run a newspaper, even the typesetting was exactly the same as Xujiacun's, but Xu Chang was so angry that he burst out laughing.
Of course, their newspapers don’t have any small science lectures, they have everything else, and they invite famous Confucians to write articles, and the content is quite rich. These great Confucians are still very attractive to scholars.
The point is, their newspapers are also cheaper than those in Xujia Village.
The newspapers in Xujia Village cost [-] cents a copy, which is still a bit expensive for the people of the Tang Dynasty. The pressure is very low, so even if they sell it cheaper, they can still make a lot of money.
Moreover, their printing volume is much more than that of Xu's supermarket.
Now the streets are full of people selling newspapers from each other.
The other party also learned a lot about the way Xujia Village sells newspapers, all of which are yelled by people on the street.
However, the people they invited were all young people. It looked like local hooligans who didn't know where they were.
A group of little beggars were beaten with bruised noses and swollen faces. In order to protect the newspapers, many little beggars were kicked until they grinned in pain when they walked.
"What can we do? They won't let us sell newspapers."
"They were bigger than us, and we couldn't beat them, so I bit each other hard."
A group of little beggars felt as if the sky was falling. They thought they could live a good life by selling newspapers, as if they were born again, but now they couldn’t sell them anymore. They were so angry that they gritted their teeth. They are all a group of hooligans, and the fights are fierce, and they are not as fierce as them.
Xu Changsheng frowned, looking at the group of poor little beggars whose noses and faces were swollen.
Unexpectedly, in order to make money, the other party even killed all the little beggars, cutting off their way of life.
Looks like it can't wait any longer.
Xu Changsheng looked at a group of tearful little beggars and said, "Don't sell newspapers these days, or you will be beaten by them again. Wait for me for two days, and things will return to the same as before."
There is nothing a group of beggars can do. If they sell newspapers again, they will definitely be beaten. Now that the streets and alleys are full of people from the other party, it is impossible for them to sell newspapers in another place.
He had to listen to Xu Changsheng's words.
Xu Changsheng saw that there were a lot of bicycles on the street, most of which were sold by Fugui Commercial Firms.
Because of the exact same craftsmanship, the bicycles in their Xujia Supermarket were much more expensive, and the market was soon occupied by the other party. Instead, the bicycles in their Xujia Supermarket could not be sold.
There was a sneer on the corner of Xu Changsheng's mouth. Since the war is going to start, let's go to war. Their Xujia Village is not without advantages, for example, they don't have to pay taxes. The most important thing is...the technology of their Xujia Village is always the most advanced. That's the point.
Xu Changsheng looked at the much deserted Xu's supermarket, turned around and left.
The people in Chang'an also know that the food in Xu's Supermarket is delicious and good, but although the food in Fugui Commercial Store is not as good, it is cheaper.
Therefore, most of the old customers of Xujia Supermarket are those who don't care about the price difference, but care about the quality. Compared with the common people in Chang'an, this part of people is relatively much less.
The Xu Family Supermarket, which had been hot for a while, became deserted, and Fugui Commercial Bank replaced the position of Xu Family Supermarket and became the most prosperous place.
In the next few days, the Xu Family Supermarket was still open as usual, and it seemed that there was no change due to the decline in business, and no countermeasures were used.
Even some old customers are anxious for Xu's Supermarket, and they make some comments from time to time, "Why don't your Xu's Supermarket also cut prices? Take a look at what's going on across the street."
The people in the Xu Family Supermarket just smiled back, thinking that Changsheng had said so, and their counterattack... will begin immediately.
On this day, it was the same as usual, but there was a sign at the entrance of Xu's supermarket.
There is a sentence written on the sign, "The second-generation bicycles are officially on sale. Anyone who buys the first-generation bicycles in Xujia Supermarket can be converted into a second-generation bicycle for free."
Many people who felt strange because of Xu's supermarket's recent silence surrounded them one after another.
"The second-generation bicycle? What is this? There are several generations of bicycles." Many people were surprised.
The people from Xujia Supermarket have already prepared their speeches, "Of course, the first generation of bicycles is just the original version, and the experience is the worst, but the second generation is different. The experience is good, comfortable, and labor-saving, which the first generation cannot Than."
"How do you sell this second-generation bicycle?"
"It's the same price as the first generation."
Some people who bought the first-generation bicycle thought that it was converted to the second-generation for free anyway. Why not try it out and see how good the second-generation bicycle is according to the people in Xujia Supermarket. If it is the worst, change it back to the first-generation bicycle. .
So many people pushed their own bicycles to upgrade.
The improvement of the bicycle is mainly two points. The first is the wheels. In the past, the wooden wheels were limited to the conditions, which were extremely heavy and easy to be damaged.
The second generation now has plastic tires on it.
Plastic was made by Xu Changsheng after the bicycle technology came out, and it happens to be used now.
In addition, the advantages of plastic tire wheels over wooden wheels are completely incomparable. The inside is inflated, with recoil force, and the friction with the ground is reduced. It is extremely light to ride. In the past, it could only ride two or three miles away. , Now I can ride six or seven miles.
Leaps forward.
The second point of modification is the seat cushion, and the plastic seat cushion is also added.
The previous saddle was hard and uncomfortable. I don’t know how many cyclists have calluses on their buttocks. They suffer after riding with prestige.
The current plastic cushion is full of elasticity, which completely solves the previous problems, and the experience has been improved by many times.
Those who came out with the refitted bicycle felt the benefits immediately, and it didn't even take so much effort to push it.
I rode it for a try, and I was amazed to the extreme, it was so comfortable and comfortable, and it was not like before, where you need to use all your strength to make the bike run, and now you can slide a long way with a light step, with an elegant feeling.
In the past two days, many people said that they were idiots when they bought bicycles from Xu’s supermarket, but they spent so much more money for the same thing. They were so angry that they didn’t know how to refute it. It’s all right now, Xu’s Are the bicycles in the supermarket comparable to those of any wealthy business firm?
They are high-end goods, and the experience is completely different. It is worth spending a little more money. They are not the first generation of rich and noble companies with many shortcomings.
People who can afford bicycles are generally not too short of money at home. What they need more is quality rather than cheap goods.
Riding around flauntingly, like a gust of wind, he left other sweaty riders behind, and saw a group of riders stunned. What kind of Hercules is this?It feels like flying without much effort.
The people I knew were even more surprised, "I know this person. He was not as good as I was before. Why is he so good all of a sudden? It's a strange thing, what kind of panacea did you take!"
After inquiring, I found out that this is the second generation bicycle, and it was refitted for free, so I hurriedly pushed the bicycle to Xu's supermarket, they also want the second generation.
A very strange scene happened in front of the Xu Family Supermarket.
Some people raised their heads and waited happily for modification.
Some people turned black and started cursing, "What's the matter with you from Xu's Supermarket? Why can theirs be refitted for free, but ours has to be charged so much, it's almost like buying two."
The Xu Family Supermarket didn't raise their heads, and said, "You didn't buy the bicycles in our Xu Family Supermarket. Why should we change them for free? Don't our tires cost money? Are you taking it for granted? Where are you?" Where can I buy it and modify it?"
"How do you know that I didn't buy my bicycle from your Xujia supermarket? It's exactly the same."
The person from Xu’s Supermarket smiled, and pointed to a relatively hidden place on the bicycle, “See, all the bikes sold in our Xu’s Supermarket are numbered and unique. Without this, our Xu’s Supermarket wouldn’t sell them of."
When I took a look, I saw a bunch of strange things there, like a private seal?
No way, the man had no choice but to push the car away, and he would not modify it unless it was modified for him. It was the same when he went to Fugui Trading Company to modify it.
Then he was dumbfounded, Fugui Trading Company couldn't be modified at all.
Fugui Trading Company also wanted to modify it, but... how did you get this soft, inflated and elastic tire?
They don't know how to find the master craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry through their relationship. This is how their bicycles were copied. In the end, those incomparably powerful masters were also dumbfounded. This is a new material. How can they make it without a formula?
A bicycle update is in full swing.
Those who have refitted are simply showing off their power, while those who have not refitted feel that their bicycles are so bulky that they are embarrassed to ride out.
Refit it, the price is too expensive.
But there was no way, so I had to pay a large sum of money to go to Xu's Supermarket to remodel it amidst a group of ridicules, otherwise what should I do?You won't ride anymore?It was their favorite entertainment.
Calculated in this way, the money they spent was much more expensive than buying a car directly in Xu's supermarket.
He used to think that other people were fools for spending so much money on the same thing, but now he thinks he is the fool.
I regret that I was greedy for cheap at the beginning, but now I have to spend more money.
And the people from Xujia Supermarket said that they may launch the third or fourth generation of bicycles in the future...
Changan's bicycle team soon became the second-generation bicycles.
The first is because the improvement of the second generation is too high, so high that no one has to pay attention to it, and the first generation has to be eliminated.
The second is that when riding a first-generation bike, I am always ridiculed by other riders, and I can’t have fun together, unless I modify it to the second-generation bike.
The people in Xujia Village were overjoyed. Although it was a free modification, it seemed that they lost money, but other people bought a lot of bicycles from Fugui Trading Company, and they charged a very high price for modification. They also made a small profit, and most importantly, customers came to buy their bicycles again.
As for the bicycles of Fugui Trading Company, let them worry about it themselves. They mass-produce, and they know how many places and people they need to hire, and how much manpower and material resources they need to spend.
Hmph, how dare you use their stuff to suppress them, and don't look at who the creators of these things are.
In the bicycle duel, Xujiacun won a complete victory.
At this time, Xu Changsheng was standing in the court, listening with dignity.
Finally, the day's court meeting is coming to an end.
At this time, the father-in-law shouted loudly as usual, "If there is something to do, go to court, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court."
All the discussions that should be discussed are over, and they are about to go to court.
At this time, Xu Changsheng tidied up his clothes, and stood up with a good appearance. He is very familiar with this set of light vehicles now, and this is not the first time he went to court like that, fell on all fours, and took the hidden bread. They all went to the ground.
He is now a small official of the seventh grade of the Tang Zhenger Eight Classics.
Xu Changsheng came out, "Minister Xuan Yilang has a play."
Everyone couldn't help being stunned. They heard that Xu's Supermarket and Fugui Trading Company were fighting fiercely recently. They thought that Xu's family was struggling for their Xu's Supermarket, but they didn't expect that there would be a serious court event.
None of them knew the details of Fugui Trading Company. A Xujia Village with no foundation was fighting against a family. They could guess the result, but there seemed to be some turning points recently, which was also miraculous.
However, how can the business of the family alliance be so easy to break down, and the big cake of the Xu Family Supermarket can be scored.
Li Shimin was also taken aback. I heard that the income of the East Palace has been reduced recently. It can be seen how much the interests of the Xu Family Supermarket have been damaged. I didn't expect that the Xu Family was fine and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xu Changsheng held up the memorial, and waited for his father-in-law to accept the memorial and hand it to Li Shimin, then he said, "I am suspected of endangering the country and society by participating in the Xu family's Datang Metropolis Daily."
In the entire hall, needles could be heard.
What did Xu Jiazi participate in just now?Join the Xu family's Datang Metropolis Daily?
Didn't he run Datang Metropolis Daily?Is he referring to himself?
I'm afraid Xu Jiazi has gone crazy because he was hit by Fugui Commercial Firm recently.
Li Shimin was a little confused, after receiving the memorial, when can court officials play like this?Don't even let yourself go, take a copy of yourself?
Looking at each other in dismay, what is Xu Jiazi doing?What kind of trouble do you want to make?
The last time I had a quarrel with the prince about changing the two laws of the Tang Dynasty, although it was calmed down by the propaganda of the Datang Metropolis Daily, it is still vivid in my memory.
Li Shimin opened the memorial and looked at it, then his eyes suddenly shrank when he saw the contents of the memorial.
Xu Changsheng also started to speak, "My Xu family's Datang Metropolis Daily has now started to be sold in Datang Shidao, and the daily sales are at least tens of thousands of copies."
Everyone was surprised, it was so easy to sell, no wonder that wealthy business firm also learned to run a copy, and heard that it sold more shares, and drove away all the newsboys in the Xu family.
Speaking of this, many ministers frowned. Fugui Commercial Bank did a great job in this matter. The Xu family used those little beggars to sell newspapers, which can be said to have saved many lives. The people in Chang'an also applauded. Said that Xujia Village has done a great deed. Unexpectedly, as soon as Fugui Commercial Company came, it would sell newspapers with some local hooligans who have nothing to do all day long, and beat and scolded those little beggars to squeeze them away. Didn't this cut off the life of these little beggars? ?
At least in this matter, many officials have been dissatisfied.
At this time, Xu Changsheng's voice continued, "When people in the world misunderstood Changsheng, Changsheng used the Datang Metropolis Daily, which was sold to the Ten Dao of the Tang Dynasty, to rehabilitate himself. Changsheng was very happy at the time, because Changsheng was cleared up so quickly... "
"However, as soon as the matter was over, Changsheng thought of a particularly important question. Changsheng can use Datang Metropolis Daily to guide public opinion and let people in the world understand the original intention of Changsheng. Is it possible that Changsheng can also use Datang Metropolis Daily to guide... the world People's hearts."
To guide the hearts of the world?
As soon as the voice came out, a chill rose in Baiguan's heart.
They are all officials, and they can still be ranked above the Golden Palace. If you think about it for a while, how can you not know the consequences of guiding public opinion and people's hearts.
There are also records in the history books, how many uprisings started from guiding public opinion, the public opinion was used, and even a dynasty could be overthrown.
What's more, in the past, it was only a small-scale guidance of people's hearts that caused wars everywhere, and now the Xu family's Datang Metropolis Daily is selling to Datang Shidao.
If someone has evil intentions and uses Datang Metropolis Daily to record something bad, it may be too late to stop it.
Many people became anxious, they didn't expect that a small Datang Metropolis Daily would have the power to start a prairie fire and overthrow the dynasty.
Li Shimin's heart also tensed up, but he knew very well that although the forces that opposed him before were basically silent, if someone deliberately guided him, wouldn't the world be in chaos again.
Datang Metropolis Daily can sell tens of thousands of copies a day, which is why Xujia Village's production is not strong enough, if...
Changsun Wuji stood up, "Your Majesty, the Datang Metropolis Daily may be suspected of endangering the country and the country. I suggest that it be shut down immediately."
A lot of people stood up again, "The minister waits for a second opinion."
Xu Changsheng shuddered, he read his own copy, it was not like letting someone beat his Tang Metropolis Daily to death with a stick.
He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, although Datang Metropolis Daily is harmful, it also has merits. For example... it can publicize the decrees of the imperial court and the sageness of His Majesty's way of governing the country."
Li Er was taken aback, promoting his way of governing the country and his wisdom?
This can pinch his weakness. Li Er is the one who wants everyone to know that he is the most suitable person to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Since he ascended the throne, he has worked hard and worked hard to rule.
According to Xu Jiazi, the Datang Metropolis Daily is indeed not all harmful.
Just like the last time, the Datang Metropolis Daily spread the reason for the promulgation of the two decrees all over the world.
Li Shimin said pretendingly, "My achievements will be commented on by future generations, so there is no need to publicize them."
The corner of Xu Changsheng's mouth twitched, and he said, "Your Majesty is right, Your Majesty is wise, but Your Majesty, you can't ignore the benefits of Datang Metropolis Daily's ability to spread the court's decrees to thousands of households. Imagine if it was a disaster year. , His Majesty's decree spread throughout the world at the first time, how many people can be saved? Moreover, Datang Metropolis Daily can also play a certain educational role, let the people of Datang know the way of saints, so that our Datang can become a real A state of etiquette."
Many civil servants were also moved in their hearts, spreading the way of saints?These are all good ideas.
Li Shimin thought for a while, "Xuan Yilang seems to have some truth."
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, he was already tempted, and he had to be the one to convince everyone.
The corner of Xu Changsheng's mouth twitched, and he continued, "So, I suggest that each Datang Metropolis Daily must be reviewed and approved by His Majesty or the six ministries of the three provinces before it can be published."
He wants to position Datang Metropolis Daily as the only official media of Datang, and this is his purpose.
Everyone was stunned, and Li Shimin was also surprised. This is a good way. He or the three provinces and six ministries will review it. This will not only prevent people with ulterior motives from leading public opinion, but also spread what they want to tell the world.
All the officials discussed, "This avoids the harm of Datang Metropolis Daily and promotes its benefits."
"So good."
Li Shimin saw that the discussion was almost done and the opinions were unified, so he said, "In this case, the Xu family will run Datang Metropolis Daily, but every publication must be submitted to the six departments of the three provinces for review."
Xu Changsheng quickly replied, "Yes."
After finishing speaking, I couldn't help but say, "Our next edition of Datang Metropolis Edition, I would also like to ask His Majesty to grant a piece of calligraphy to be published in Datang Metropolis Daily, and let the world admire His Majesty's pen and ink."
Everyone was stunned and looked at Xu Changsheng.
This sycophant.
Li Shimin was a little embarrassed.
But... let the world see his calligraphy?Why is it so exciting?
There are also some great Confucian scholars with fiery faces. As scholars, reputation is more important than anything else. Who doesn’t want to become famous all over the world? If their articles or pens and inks are published in Datang Metropolis Daily...
Some other officials are also a little thoughtful, and they also want to let the world know how powerful their political views are.
In this way, Datang Metropolis Daily has no objections and has become the official media of Datang.
Just as he was about to go down to court, Xu Changsheng jumped out again, "I still have this performance."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, the Xu family really has a lot of things to do today, and this time it's the same big thing as Datang Metropolis Daily?
Involuntarily pricked up his ears.
Seeing Xu Jiazi gritted his teeth, he almost jumped up, "Your Majesty, there is a wealthy business firm in the market, regardless of my country and society, it runs newspapers and periodicals privately, with more circulation than my Datang Metropolis Daily, and it is not supervised. Indiscriminately leading public opinion, how can this go on like this? I feel that they have bad intentions, so I should investigate them immediately, and I suggest that your majesty order that no one is allowed to privately run publications like Datang Metropolis Daily in the future."
Everyone looked at the little figure jumping high on the Golden Palace.
So... just now, there are so many high-sounding things said, the purpose of the Xu family is to attack the rich and noble companies?
This little fox.
But although everyone could see Xu Jiazi's purpose, he had to admit that he was right.
Datang Metropolis Daily is supervised by His Majesty and six ministries in three provinces. How can other unsupervised ones allow it to exist?Just now Xu Jiazi explained the harm clearly, and this thing can subvert the world if you look at it seriously.
A few officials were dumbfounded, they were officials from aristocratic families, and they belonged to Fugui Trading Company.
You opened your mouth, how can you refute?
In any case, it is impossible for His Majesty to allow this kind of thing to exist, especially not in the hands of their family.
Li Shimin looked at Xu Changsheng, who was filled with righteous indignation, and felt a pain in his forehead. It turned out to be...retaliation. It seems that Xu's Supermarket was prepared to fight back after being suppressed for so long.
Li Shimin sneered at the corner of his mouth. When Fugui Commercial Bank fought against Xu's Supermarket, didn't they think that Xu's Supermarket had a prince, and his son would join him?In fact, this also indirectly involved the face of the royal family, and they shot without any scruples.
What's more, the money Xu's Supermarket is now earning is building roads for Datang, and they actually launched an attack on Xu's Supermarket at this time. Are they thinking that the road cannot be repaired?
Disregard people's livelihood.
These aristocratic families are still so unscrupulous, they only know how to develop themselves, let me teach them a lesson today.
Li Shimin said, "You have just heard the dangers of unsupervised newspapers. Now, immediately seal up the printing plants and newspapers of Fugui Commercial Bank and stop selling them. In the future, without the approval of the six ministries of the three provinces, no one is allowed to print and publish similar newspapers without permission. s things."
The few officials opened their mouths, but they dared not refute. If they refuted, would they be saying that they wanted to use the newspaper to do something?
Li Er personally ordered, and the speed of execution was very fast.
After the imperial court, the relevant departments went to seize the printing factory and publications of Fugui Trading Company.
The local hooligans who were still selling newspapers in the streets and alleys were directly confiscated by the patrolling officials and ordered them not to sell them in the future.
These local hooligans are usually terrific, but they are most afraid of the officials, and they can only watch them confiscate their newspapers.
But... when they got these newspapers from the Fugui Trading Company, they mortgaged the money, so they had to ask the Fugui Trading Company for a deposit, otherwise they would lose money.
When Xu Changsheng walked to Xu's Supermarket, a group of little beggars at the door were still crying. Can they still sell newspapers in the future? They really love this job.
With a wave of Xu Changsheng's small hand, neat stacks of Datang Metropolis Daily were carried out, "Come here, let's get a few copies each, let's sell them on the street that was originally allocated."
A group of little beggars had bright eyes, "But we can't beat those ruffians."
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Now those ruffians are all going to trouble the Fugui Trading Company, so they don't have time to take care of you, and no one will compete with you for territory in the future, go ahead and go."
A group of little beggars happily ran next to the newspaper, and their clear and clear childish voices could be heard from a distance, "Selling newspapers, Datang Metropolis Daily..."
Xu Changsheng smiled, that's all he can do for them, he can help as much as he can.
The Xu family's Datang Metropolis Daily began to resume sales, but Fugui Trading Co., Ltd. was in dire straits. All the printing factories it invested in were shut down, and the printed newspapers and periodicals had to be destroyed.
As for the newspaper, the whole army of Fugui Trading Company was wiped out.
The people in Xujia Village were all laughing, and in terms of bicycles, the opponent had already begun to lose.
Now it's those small snacks, the most important oil in Xujia Village, they don't have the craftsmanship, and they can't copy it.
In terms of snacks, they can only imitate one appearance, such as dried tofu and chicken feet, they don’t have enough condiments, and in terms of drinks, the cola they imitate has no carbon dioxide and so on.
However, you have to find a way to move back.
While Xu Changsheng was trying to figure out a way, the other party showed another demon moth.
I saw a lot of people running towards each other's supermarket on the street.
Xu Changsheng was taken aback?What's going on here?A few people who wanted to enter their supermarket just now ran to watch the fun.
An uncle of the Xu family said, "They seem to be performing something at the door, attracting everyone to pass by."
Xu Changsheng couldn't even close his mouth, performing in front of the store?This wealthy firm still has some ability.
He would like to see what they are performing so attractive when Datang's entertainment programs are poor.
Xu Changsheng really went to watch the excitement.
The entrance of the other party's supermarket was really bustling, surrounded by many people.
And the people watching the excitement exclaimed from time to time.
The show was a success.
Xu Changsheng managed to squeeze in, "Let me see, let me see, if you don't let me in, I'll let the big tiger bite you."
After squeezing in, Xu Changsheng couldn't help jumping up and clapping his hands. Do you know what the performance is?
Turn stone into gold!
Yes, turning a stone into gold.
Xu Changsheng jumped up and clapped his hands, "Okay, it's so beautiful."
Everyone was stunned, "Xu Jiazi, you are not worried that someone else has robbed your business, and you still keep clapping your hands and yelling at him?"
Xu Changsheng raised his head, "There's nothing to worry about. Are their bicycles as good as mine? Are their snacks as good as mine?"
Everyone laughed, no, although they look similar, especially the cola herbal tea, even the bottle is exactly the same, but the taste is far from it.
"But they're cheap. If your Xu's supermarket can be so cheap, we won't buy other people's."
"Yes, look, other people's snacks are half cheaper than your Xujia Village's."
Xu Changsheng: "..."
He really couldn't refute it.
However, it is actually half cheaper, but even if they have a wide range of channels and the raw materials are cheaper, it is impossible for them to be half cheaper. Why?
Xu Changsheng also couldn't figure it out. According to the price they bought raw materials in Xujia Village, if they sold them at their price, they would lose money.
At this moment, the person from the opposite supermarket was showing off his power, "Hey, isn't this the Xu family? You don't have any business, so you don't want to come here to make trouble, right? Everyone, come and see, the Xu family who everyone says is for the country and the people is nothing more than that."
Xu Changsheng sneered, "Do you want to sue?"
The man was taken aback.
Xu Changsheng didn't want to fight this kind of person, he was too stupid, and said, "Slandering the imperial court officials, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you will have to be imprisoned for several months."
Although he is small, he still has an official status. No matter how powerful the person behind the other party is, he is still behind the other party.
The man's face turned pale, people don't fight with officials, because Xu Jiazi is too young, he forgot that Xu Jiazi is now a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty.
Xu Changsheng glanced at it, "Remember that I will be called Master Xu from now on, and Xu Jiazi is also called by you?"
After finishing speaking, he ignored people. He thought it was a waste of time for such a small person to slap him in the face. Instead, he looked at the performing Taoist priest, "Daoist Daoist, you are so powerful. Since you are so powerful and can turn stones into gold, why are you still here?" Performing le for others at the door? Isn't it a trick to deceive people?"
Everyone couldn't help being stunned, that's right, since you have such a great ability, why do you still charge other people's money to perform at the door?
The Taoist priest's face was a little dark.
Xu Changsheng didn't point it out, it's not easy for others to make a living, but he just doesn't like the way he pretends to be a ghost, isn't he a touchstone?Next time, he will write the principle in Datang Metropolis Daily to see how he can deceive people in the future.
At this time, the Taoist priest performed again, "This time I will show you a fairy house
Uncle Xu Zheng frowned, "Their products are much cheaper than ours, why don't our Xu's supermarket also lower their prices?"
Xu Changsheng shook his head, it would not work to solve this problem with a price war, it would only hurt both sides.
Moreover, most of their Xujia Village's current money is used to repair the cement road from Chang'an to Xujia Village. Funds are at their most tight time, not the time to fight a price war.
What's more, their Xu family has no foundation, and the details of this wealthy business house are not clear.
This is also the most troublesome thing. Don't forget, Xu's Supermarket has many military general families joining, and the backstage is not small, but the other party still dares to declare war on them, and the forces behind it will not be simple.
Xu Changsheng thought for a while, "Let's look at the situation first, our Xu Family Supermarket has been open for so long, and we might be knocked down in one fell swoop."
The most important thing now is to find out what the other party is from.
The next day, people in Xujia Village began to inquire, and by the way, the newsboy who peddled the newspaper also paid attention to the news.
What Xu Changsheng didn't expect was that the other party had no intention of hiding it at all.
In less than a day, the news was collected, and the details of the other party were found out.
Xu Changsheng was silent.
According to the gathered information, this wealthy firm is really... a firm with a strong background, a firm jointly established by the four major families of Wang, Cui, Lu, and Zheng.
Do you know what the four families of Wang, Cui, Lu and Zheng represent?
In the later genealogy of the Tang Dynasty, Wang, Cui, Lu, and Zheng were extremely high-ranking families in the Tang Dynasty, and their influence was huge both in the court and in the market.
They represent the power of the aristocratic family, no wonder they dare to compete with their Xu Family Supermarket for business without any scruples.
Everyone can see how profitable Xujiacun's business is, but because some Wu Xun families have joined, ordinary people really dare not join in.
Xu Changsheng also knew that they would definitely make people jealous for making so much money, but he didn't expect that the first enemy would be a business firm formed by aristocratic families.
Xu Changsheng pretended to pass by the other party's supermarket today. The decoration of the other party was completely imitated of their Xu's supermarket. It could even be said to be exactly the same.
The only difference is that they didn't have gardenias for decoration. However, they imitated Xu Changsheng's idea and changed the gardenias into peonies, which looked quite majestic and attracted many people.
The most important thing is that because of relying on the aristocratic family, the productivity of this wealthy firm is much stronger than that of the Xu Family Supermarket, and the goods are full, while the Xu Family Supermarket sometimes runs out of stock.
The uncle of the Xu family was also silent, "What should we do now?"
Xu Changsheng didn't speak. At this time, an uncle of the family came in, holding a large bag of things in his hand, and opened it. Inside were some products sold by Fugui Trading Company, which completely imitated their Xu's supermarket.
This was bought by Xu Changsheng asking his uncle to go in in disguise.
Xu Changsheng took a taste of the spicy dried tofu and pickled pepper chicken feet.
Datang also has chili peppers, but they are only used as medicinal materials. The other party should buy chili peppers in pharmacies. Although it is not as spicy as Xu Changsheng's devil chili pepper, the spiciness is still acceptable.
Other family uncles also tasted it, "It's not as delicious as our Xujia Village."
Xu Changsheng thought, of course, although they imitated the method, some condiments are only available in their Xujia Village, and they are all grown from the seeds in the leather box he traveled through. If they want to get these condiments, now It is estimated that only outside the domain.
"Although they are not as delicious as ours, they are cheap."
Xu Changsheng also nodded. The people of Datang are not as picky as he is, and they will be attracted to many customers. Even if they miss the taste of Xujiacun’s products, they may just buy some from time to time, instead of buying them all in their Xujia supermarket like before. Buy.
At this time, another Xu family uncle brought in a bicycle.
Xu Changsheng was taken aback, "Is this our bicycle that the other party imitated?"
Uncle Clan nodded.
Xu Changsheng took a look and found that they were exactly the same.
Bicycles have always been a very big source of income for Xujia Village.
However, due to insufficient productivity in Xujia Village, many people did not buy it.
The uncle said again, "Their production volume is several times that of ours, and now they are selling like crazy. What should we do?"
Yes, the other party has the support of a family. Once they steal their technology, they can mass-produce it faster than them and at a lower price than them.
The sale of bicycles is probably the most severely hit item in Xujia Village.
Xu Changsheng frowned, it was really troublesome, and said, "It's okay, let me think of a way first."
He thought about it for several days.
And a lot has happened in the past few days.
For example, Fugui Commercial Bank also started to run a newspaper, even the typesetting was exactly the same as Xujiacun's, but Xu Chang was so angry that he burst out laughing.
Of course, their newspapers don’t have any small science lectures, they have everything else, and they invite famous Confucians to write articles, and the content is quite rich. These great Confucians are still very attractive to scholars.
The point is, their newspapers are also cheaper than those in Xujia Village.
The newspapers in Xujia Village cost [-] cents a copy, which is still a bit expensive for the people of the Tang Dynasty. The pressure is very low, so even if they sell it cheaper, they can still make a lot of money.
Moreover, their printing volume is much more than that of Xu's supermarket.
Now the streets are full of people selling newspapers from each other.
The other party also learned a lot about the way Xujia Village sells newspapers, all of which are yelled by people on the street.
However, the people they invited were all young people. It looked like local hooligans who didn't know where they were.
A group of little beggars were beaten with bruised noses and swollen faces. In order to protect the newspapers, many little beggars were kicked until they grinned in pain when they walked.
"What can we do? They won't let us sell newspapers."
"They were bigger than us, and we couldn't beat them, so I bit each other hard."
A group of little beggars felt as if the sky was falling. They thought they could live a good life by selling newspapers, as if they were born again, but now they couldn’t sell them anymore. They were so angry that they gritted their teeth. They are all a group of hooligans, and the fights are fierce, and they are not as fierce as them.
Xu Changsheng frowned, looking at the group of poor little beggars whose noses and faces were swollen.
Unexpectedly, in order to make money, the other party even killed all the little beggars, cutting off their way of life.
Looks like it can't wait any longer.
Xu Changsheng looked at a group of tearful little beggars and said, "Don't sell newspapers these days, or you will be beaten by them again. Wait for me for two days, and things will return to the same as before."
There is nothing a group of beggars can do. If they sell newspapers again, they will definitely be beaten. Now that the streets and alleys are full of people from the other party, it is impossible for them to sell newspapers in another place.
He had to listen to Xu Changsheng's words.
Xu Changsheng saw that there were a lot of bicycles on the street, most of which were sold by Fugui Commercial Firms.
Because of the exact same craftsmanship, the bicycles in their Xujia Supermarket were much more expensive, and the market was soon occupied by the other party. Instead, the bicycles in their Xujia Supermarket could not be sold.
There was a sneer on the corner of Xu Changsheng's mouth. Since the war is going to start, let's go to war. Their Xujia Village is not without advantages, for example, they don't have to pay taxes. The most important thing is...the technology of their Xujia Village is always the most advanced. That's the point.
Xu Changsheng looked at the much deserted Xu's supermarket, turned around and left.
The people in Chang'an also know that the food in Xu's Supermarket is delicious and good, but although the food in Fugui Commercial Store is not as good, it is cheaper.
Therefore, most of the old customers of Xujia Supermarket are those who don't care about the price difference, but care about the quality. Compared with the common people in Chang'an, this part of people is relatively much less.
The Xu Family Supermarket, which had been hot for a while, became deserted, and Fugui Commercial Bank replaced the position of Xu Family Supermarket and became the most prosperous place.
In the next few days, the Xu Family Supermarket was still open as usual, and it seemed that there was no change due to the decline in business, and no countermeasures were used.
Even some old customers are anxious for Xu's Supermarket, and they make some comments from time to time, "Why don't your Xu's Supermarket also cut prices? Take a look at what's going on across the street."
The people in the Xu Family Supermarket just smiled back, thinking that Changsheng had said so, and their counterattack... will begin immediately.
On this day, it was the same as usual, but there was a sign at the entrance of Xu's supermarket.
There is a sentence written on the sign, "The second-generation bicycles are officially on sale. Anyone who buys the first-generation bicycles in Xujia Supermarket can be converted into a second-generation bicycle for free."
Many people who felt strange because of Xu's supermarket's recent silence surrounded them one after another.
"The second-generation bicycle? What is this? There are several generations of bicycles." Many people were surprised.
The people from Xujia Supermarket have already prepared their speeches, "Of course, the first generation of bicycles is just the original version, and the experience is the worst, but the second generation is different. The experience is good, comfortable, and labor-saving, which the first generation cannot Than."
"How do you sell this second-generation bicycle?"
"It's the same price as the first generation."
Some people who bought the first-generation bicycle thought that it was converted to the second-generation for free anyway. Why not try it out and see how good the second-generation bicycle is according to the people in Xujia Supermarket. If it is the worst, change it back to the first-generation bicycle. .
So many people pushed their own bicycles to upgrade.
The improvement of the bicycle is mainly two points. The first is the wheels. In the past, the wooden wheels were limited to the conditions, which were extremely heavy and easy to be damaged.
The second generation now has plastic tires on it.
Plastic was made by Xu Changsheng after the bicycle technology came out, and it happens to be used now.
In addition, the advantages of plastic tire wheels over wooden wheels are completely incomparable. The inside is inflated, with recoil force, and the friction with the ground is reduced. It is extremely light to ride. In the past, it could only ride two or three miles away. , Now I can ride six or seven miles.
Leaps forward.
The second point of modification is the seat cushion, and the plastic seat cushion is also added.
The previous saddle was hard and uncomfortable. I don’t know how many cyclists have calluses on their buttocks. They suffer after riding with prestige.
The current plastic cushion is full of elasticity, which completely solves the previous problems, and the experience has been improved by many times.
Those who came out with the refitted bicycle felt the benefits immediately, and it didn't even take so much effort to push it.
I rode it for a try, and I was amazed to the extreme, it was so comfortable and comfortable, and it was not like before, where you need to use all your strength to make the bike run, and now you can slide a long way with a light step, with an elegant feeling.
In the past two days, many people said that they were idiots when they bought bicycles from Xu’s supermarket, but they spent so much more money for the same thing. They were so angry that they didn’t know how to refute it. It’s all right now, Xu’s Are the bicycles in the supermarket comparable to those of any wealthy business firm?
They are high-end goods, and the experience is completely different. It is worth spending a little more money. They are not the first generation of rich and noble companies with many shortcomings.
People who can afford bicycles are generally not too short of money at home. What they need more is quality rather than cheap goods.
Riding around flauntingly, like a gust of wind, he left other sweaty riders behind, and saw a group of riders stunned. What kind of Hercules is this?It feels like flying without much effort.
The people I knew were even more surprised, "I know this person. He was not as good as I was before. Why is he so good all of a sudden? It's a strange thing, what kind of panacea did you take!"
After inquiring, I found out that this is the second generation bicycle, and it was refitted for free, so I hurriedly pushed the bicycle to Xu's supermarket, they also want the second generation.
A very strange scene happened in front of the Xu Family Supermarket.
Some people raised their heads and waited happily for modification.
Some people turned black and started cursing, "What's the matter with you from Xu's Supermarket? Why can theirs be refitted for free, but ours has to be charged so much, it's almost like buying two."
The Xu Family Supermarket didn't raise their heads, and said, "You didn't buy the bicycles in our Xu Family Supermarket. Why should we change them for free? Don't our tires cost money? Are you taking it for granted? Where are you?" Where can I buy it and modify it?"
"How do you know that I didn't buy my bicycle from your Xujia supermarket? It's exactly the same."
The person from Xu’s Supermarket smiled, and pointed to a relatively hidden place on the bicycle, “See, all the bikes sold in our Xu’s Supermarket are numbered and unique. Without this, our Xu’s Supermarket wouldn’t sell them of."
When I took a look, I saw a bunch of strange things there, like a private seal?
No way, the man had no choice but to push the car away, and he would not modify it unless it was modified for him. It was the same when he went to Fugui Trading Company to modify it.
Then he was dumbfounded, Fugui Trading Company couldn't be modified at all.
Fugui Trading Company also wanted to modify it, but... how did you get this soft, inflated and elastic tire?
They don't know how to find the master craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry through their relationship. This is how their bicycles were copied. In the end, those incomparably powerful masters were also dumbfounded. This is a new material. How can they make it without a formula?
A bicycle update is in full swing.
Those who have refitted are simply showing off their power, while those who have not refitted feel that their bicycles are so bulky that they are embarrassed to ride out.
Refit it, the price is too expensive.
But there was no way, so I had to pay a large sum of money to go to Xu's Supermarket to remodel it amidst a group of ridicules, otherwise what should I do?You won't ride anymore?It was their favorite entertainment.
Calculated in this way, the money they spent was much more expensive than buying a car directly in Xu's supermarket.
He used to think that other people were fools for spending so much money on the same thing, but now he thinks he is the fool.
I regret that I was greedy for cheap at the beginning, but now I have to spend more money.
And the people from Xujia Supermarket said that they may launch the third or fourth generation of bicycles in the future...
Changan's bicycle team soon became the second-generation bicycles.
The first is because the improvement of the second generation is too high, so high that no one has to pay attention to it, and the first generation has to be eliminated.
The second is that when riding a first-generation bike, I am always ridiculed by other riders, and I can’t have fun together, unless I modify it to the second-generation bike.
The people in Xujia Village were overjoyed. Although it was a free modification, it seemed that they lost money, but other people bought a lot of bicycles from Fugui Trading Company, and they charged a very high price for modification. They also made a small profit, and most importantly, customers came to buy their bicycles again.
As for the bicycles of Fugui Trading Company, let them worry about it themselves. They mass-produce, and they know how many places and people they need to hire, and how much manpower and material resources they need to spend.
Hmph, how dare you use their stuff to suppress them, and don't look at who the creators of these things are.
In the bicycle duel, Xujiacun won a complete victory.
At this time, Xu Changsheng was standing in the court, listening with dignity.
Finally, the day's court meeting is coming to an end.
At this time, the father-in-law shouted loudly as usual, "If there is something to do, go to court, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court."
All the discussions that should be discussed are over, and they are about to go to court.
At this time, Xu Changsheng tidied up his clothes, and stood up with a good appearance. He is very familiar with this set of light vehicles now, and this is not the first time he went to court like that, fell on all fours, and took the hidden bread. They all went to the ground.
He is now a small official of the seventh grade of the Tang Zhenger Eight Classics.
Xu Changsheng came out, "Minister Xuan Yilang has a play."
Everyone couldn't help being stunned. They heard that Xu's Supermarket and Fugui Trading Company were fighting fiercely recently. They thought that Xu's family was struggling for their Xu's Supermarket, but they didn't expect that there would be a serious court event.
None of them knew the details of Fugui Trading Company. A Xujia Village with no foundation was fighting against a family. They could guess the result, but there seemed to be some turning points recently, which was also miraculous.
However, how can the business of the family alliance be so easy to break down, and the big cake of the Xu Family Supermarket can be scored.
Li Shimin was also taken aback. I heard that the income of the East Palace has been reduced recently. It can be seen how much the interests of the Xu Family Supermarket have been damaged. I didn't expect that the Xu Family was fine and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xu Changsheng held up the memorial, and waited for his father-in-law to accept the memorial and hand it to Li Shimin, then he said, "I am suspected of endangering the country and society by participating in the Xu family's Datang Metropolis Daily."
In the entire hall, needles could be heard.
What did Xu Jiazi participate in just now?Join the Xu family's Datang Metropolis Daily?
Didn't he run Datang Metropolis Daily?Is he referring to himself?
I'm afraid Xu Jiazi has gone crazy because he was hit by Fugui Commercial Firm recently.
Li Shimin was a little confused, after receiving the memorial, when can court officials play like this?Don't even let yourself go, take a copy of yourself?
Looking at each other in dismay, what is Xu Jiazi doing?What kind of trouble do you want to make?
The last time I had a quarrel with the prince about changing the two laws of the Tang Dynasty, although it was calmed down by the propaganda of the Datang Metropolis Daily, it is still vivid in my memory.
Li Shimin opened the memorial and looked at it, then his eyes suddenly shrank when he saw the contents of the memorial.
Xu Changsheng also started to speak, "My Xu family's Datang Metropolis Daily has now started to be sold in Datang Shidao, and the daily sales are at least tens of thousands of copies."
Everyone was surprised, it was so easy to sell, no wonder that wealthy business firm also learned to run a copy, and heard that it sold more shares, and drove away all the newsboys in the Xu family.
Speaking of this, many ministers frowned. Fugui Commercial Bank did a great job in this matter. The Xu family used those little beggars to sell newspapers, which can be said to have saved many lives. The people in Chang'an also applauded. Said that Xujia Village has done a great deed. Unexpectedly, as soon as Fugui Commercial Company came, it would sell newspapers with some local hooligans who have nothing to do all day long, and beat and scolded those little beggars to squeeze them away. Didn't this cut off the life of these little beggars? ?
At least in this matter, many officials have been dissatisfied.
At this time, Xu Changsheng's voice continued, "When people in the world misunderstood Changsheng, Changsheng used the Datang Metropolis Daily, which was sold to the Ten Dao of the Tang Dynasty, to rehabilitate himself. Changsheng was very happy at the time, because Changsheng was cleared up so quickly... "
"However, as soon as the matter was over, Changsheng thought of a particularly important question. Changsheng can use Datang Metropolis Daily to guide public opinion and let people in the world understand the original intention of Changsheng. Is it possible that Changsheng can also use Datang Metropolis Daily to guide... the world People's hearts."
To guide the hearts of the world?
As soon as the voice came out, a chill rose in Baiguan's heart.
They are all officials, and they can still be ranked above the Golden Palace. If you think about it for a while, how can you not know the consequences of guiding public opinion and people's hearts.
There are also records in the history books, how many uprisings started from guiding public opinion, the public opinion was used, and even a dynasty could be overthrown.
What's more, in the past, it was only a small-scale guidance of people's hearts that caused wars everywhere, and now the Xu family's Datang Metropolis Daily is selling to Datang Shidao.
If someone has evil intentions and uses Datang Metropolis Daily to record something bad, it may be too late to stop it.
Many people became anxious, they didn't expect that a small Datang Metropolis Daily would have the power to start a prairie fire and overthrow the dynasty.
Li Shimin's heart also tensed up, but he knew very well that although the forces that opposed him before were basically silent, if someone deliberately guided him, wouldn't the world be in chaos again.
Datang Metropolis Daily can sell tens of thousands of copies a day, which is why Xujia Village's production is not strong enough, if...
Changsun Wuji stood up, "Your Majesty, the Datang Metropolis Daily may be suspected of endangering the country and the country. I suggest that it be shut down immediately."
A lot of people stood up again, "The minister waits for a second opinion."
Xu Changsheng shuddered, he read his own copy, it was not like letting someone beat his Tang Metropolis Daily to death with a stick.
He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, although Datang Metropolis Daily is harmful, it also has merits. For example... it can publicize the decrees of the imperial court and the sageness of His Majesty's way of governing the country."
Li Er was taken aback, promoting his way of governing the country and his wisdom?
This can pinch his weakness. Li Er is the one who wants everyone to know that he is the most suitable person to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Since he ascended the throne, he has worked hard and worked hard to rule.
According to Xu Jiazi, the Datang Metropolis Daily is indeed not all harmful.
Just like the last time, the Datang Metropolis Daily spread the reason for the promulgation of the two decrees all over the world.
Li Shimin said pretendingly, "My achievements will be commented on by future generations, so there is no need to publicize them."
The corner of Xu Changsheng's mouth twitched, and he said, "Your Majesty is right, Your Majesty is wise, but Your Majesty, you can't ignore the benefits of Datang Metropolis Daily's ability to spread the court's decrees to thousands of households. Imagine if it was a disaster year. , His Majesty's decree spread throughout the world at the first time, how many people can be saved? Moreover, Datang Metropolis Daily can also play a certain educational role, let the people of Datang know the way of saints, so that our Datang can become a real A state of etiquette."
Many civil servants were also moved in their hearts, spreading the way of saints?These are all good ideas.
Li Shimin thought for a while, "Xuan Yilang seems to have some truth."
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, he was already tempted, and he had to be the one to convince everyone.
The corner of Xu Changsheng's mouth twitched, and he continued, "So, I suggest that each Datang Metropolis Daily must be reviewed and approved by His Majesty or the six ministries of the three provinces before it can be published."
He wants to position Datang Metropolis Daily as the only official media of Datang, and this is his purpose.
Everyone was stunned, and Li Shimin was also surprised. This is a good way. He or the three provinces and six ministries will review it. This will not only prevent people with ulterior motives from leading public opinion, but also spread what they want to tell the world.
All the officials discussed, "This avoids the harm of Datang Metropolis Daily and promotes its benefits."
"So good."
Li Shimin saw that the discussion was almost done and the opinions were unified, so he said, "In this case, the Xu family will run Datang Metropolis Daily, but every publication must be submitted to the six departments of the three provinces for review."
Xu Changsheng quickly replied, "Yes."
After finishing speaking, I couldn't help but say, "Our next edition of Datang Metropolis Edition, I would also like to ask His Majesty to grant a piece of calligraphy to be published in Datang Metropolis Daily, and let the world admire His Majesty's pen and ink."
Everyone was stunned and looked at Xu Changsheng.
This sycophant.
Li Shimin was a little embarrassed.
But... let the world see his calligraphy?Why is it so exciting?
There are also some great Confucian scholars with fiery faces. As scholars, reputation is more important than anything else. Who doesn’t want to become famous all over the world? If their articles or pens and inks are published in Datang Metropolis Daily...
Some other officials are also a little thoughtful, and they also want to let the world know how powerful their political views are.
In this way, Datang Metropolis Daily has no objections and has become the official media of Datang.
Just as he was about to go down to court, Xu Changsheng jumped out again, "I still have this performance."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, the Xu family really has a lot of things to do today, and this time it's the same big thing as Datang Metropolis Daily?
Involuntarily pricked up his ears.
Seeing Xu Jiazi gritted his teeth, he almost jumped up, "Your Majesty, there is a wealthy business firm in the market, regardless of my country and society, it runs newspapers and periodicals privately, with more circulation than my Datang Metropolis Daily, and it is not supervised. Indiscriminately leading public opinion, how can this go on like this? I feel that they have bad intentions, so I should investigate them immediately, and I suggest that your majesty order that no one is allowed to privately run publications like Datang Metropolis Daily in the future."
Everyone looked at the little figure jumping high on the Golden Palace.
So... just now, there are so many high-sounding things said, the purpose of the Xu family is to attack the rich and noble companies?
This little fox.
But although everyone could see Xu Jiazi's purpose, he had to admit that he was right.
Datang Metropolis Daily is supervised by His Majesty and six ministries in three provinces. How can other unsupervised ones allow it to exist?Just now Xu Jiazi explained the harm clearly, and this thing can subvert the world if you look at it seriously.
A few officials were dumbfounded, they were officials from aristocratic families, and they belonged to Fugui Trading Company.
You opened your mouth, how can you refute?
In any case, it is impossible for His Majesty to allow this kind of thing to exist, especially not in the hands of their family.
Li Shimin looked at Xu Changsheng, who was filled with righteous indignation, and felt a pain in his forehead. It turned out to be...retaliation. It seems that Xu's Supermarket was prepared to fight back after being suppressed for so long.
Li Shimin sneered at the corner of his mouth. When Fugui Commercial Bank fought against Xu's Supermarket, didn't they think that Xu's Supermarket had a prince, and his son would join him?In fact, this also indirectly involved the face of the royal family, and they shot without any scruples.
What's more, the money Xu's Supermarket is now earning is building roads for Datang, and they actually launched an attack on Xu's Supermarket at this time. Are they thinking that the road cannot be repaired?
Disregard people's livelihood.
These aristocratic families are still so unscrupulous, they only know how to develop themselves, let me teach them a lesson today.
Li Shimin said, "You have just heard the dangers of unsupervised newspapers. Now, immediately seal up the printing plants and newspapers of Fugui Commercial Bank and stop selling them. In the future, without the approval of the six ministries of the three provinces, no one is allowed to print and publish similar newspapers without permission. s things."
The few officials opened their mouths, but they dared not refute. If they refuted, would they be saying that they wanted to use the newspaper to do something?
Li Er personally ordered, and the speed of execution was very fast.
After the imperial court, the relevant departments went to seize the printing factory and publications of Fugui Trading Company.
The local hooligans who were still selling newspapers in the streets and alleys were directly confiscated by the patrolling officials and ordered them not to sell them in the future.
These local hooligans are usually terrific, but they are most afraid of the officials, and they can only watch them confiscate their newspapers.
But... when they got these newspapers from the Fugui Trading Company, they mortgaged the money, so they had to ask the Fugui Trading Company for a deposit, otherwise they would lose money.
When Xu Changsheng walked to Xu's Supermarket, a group of little beggars at the door were still crying. Can they still sell newspapers in the future? They really love this job.
With a wave of Xu Changsheng's small hand, neat stacks of Datang Metropolis Daily were carried out, "Come here, let's get a few copies each, let's sell them on the street that was originally allocated."
A group of little beggars had bright eyes, "But we can't beat those ruffians."
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Now those ruffians are all going to trouble the Fugui Trading Company, so they don't have time to take care of you, and no one will compete with you for territory in the future, go ahead and go."
A group of little beggars happily ran next to the newspaper, and their clear and clear childish voices could be heard from a distance, "Selling newspapers, Datang Metropolis Daily..."
Xu Changsheng smiled, that's all he can do for them, he can help as much as he can.
The Xu family's Datang Metropolis Daily began to resume sales, but Fugui Trading Co., Ltd. was in dire straits. All the printing factories it invested in were shut down, and the printed newspapers and periodicals had to be destroyed.
As for the newspaper, the whole army of Fugui Trading Company was wiped out.
The people in Xujia Village were all laughing, and in terms of bicycles, the opponent had already begun to lose.
Now it's those small snacks, the most important oil in Xujia Village, they don't have the craftsmanship, and they can't copy it.
In terms of snacks, they can only imitate one appearance, such as dried tofu and chicken feet, they don’t have enough condiments, and in terms of drinks, the cola they imitate has no carbon dioxide and so on.
However, you have to find a way to move back.
While Xu Changsheng was trying to figure out a way, the other party showed another demon moth.
I saw a lot of people running towards each other's supermarket on the street.
Xu Changsheng was taken aback?What's going on here?A few people who wanted to enter their supermarket just now ran to watch the fun.
An uncle of the Xu family said, "They seem to be performing something at the door, attracting everyone to pass by."
Xu Changsheng couldn't even close his mouth, performing in front of the store?This wealthy firm still has some ability.
He would like to see what they are performing so attractive when Datang's entertainment programs are poor.
Xu Changsheng really went to watch the excitement.
The entrance of the other party's supermarket was really bustling, surrounded by many people.
And the people watching the excitement exclaimed from time to time.
The show was a success.
Xu Changsheng managed to squeeze in, "Let me see, let me see, if you don't let me in, I'll let the big tiger bite you."
After squeezing in, Xu Changsheng couldn't help jumping up and clapping his hands. Do you know what the performance is?
Turn stone into gold!
Yes, turning a stone into gold.
Xu Changsheng jumped up and clapped his hands, "Okay, it's so beautiful."
Everyone was stunned, "Xu Jiazi, you are not worried that someone else has robbed your business, and you still keep clapping your hands and yelling at him?"
Xu Changsheng raised his head, "There's nothing to worry about. Are their bicycles as good as mine? Are their snacks as good as mine?"
Everyone laughed, no, although they look similar, especially the cola herbal tea, even the bottle is exactly the same, but the taste is far from it.
"But they're cheap. If your Xu's supermarket can be so cheap, we won't buy other people's."
"Yes, look, other people's snacks are half cheaper than your Xujia Village's."
Xu Changsheng: "..."
He really couldn't refute it.
However, it is actually half cheaper, but even if they have a wide range of channels and the raw materials are cheaper, it is impossible for them to be half cheaper. Why?
Xu Changsheng also couldn't figure it out. According to the price they bought raw materials in Xujia Village, if they sold them at their price, they would lose money.
At this moment, the person from the opposite supermarket was showing off his power, "Hey, isn't this the Xu family? You don't have any business, so you don't want to come here to make trouble, right? Everyone, come and see, the Xu family who everyone says is for the country and the people is nothing more than that."
Xu Changsheng sneered, "Do you want to sue?"
The man was taken aback.
Xu Changsheng didn't want to fight this kind of person, he was too stupid, and said, "Slandering the imperial court officials, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you will have to be imprisoned for several months."
Although he is small, he still has an official status. No matter how powerful the person behind the other party is, he is still behind the other party.
The man's face turned pale, people don't fight with officials, because Xu Jiazi is too young, he forgot that Xu Jiazi is now a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty.
Xu Changsheng glanced at it, "Remember that I will be called Master Xu from now on, and Xu Jiazi is also called by you?"
After finishing speaking, he ignored people. He thought it was a waste of time for such a small person to slap him in the face. Instead, he looked at the performing Taoist priest, "Daoist Daoist, you are so powerful. Since you are so powerful and can turn stones into gold, why are you still here?" Performing le for others at the door? Isn't it a trick to deceive people?"
Everyone couldn't help being stunned, that's right, since you have such a great ability, why do you still charge other people's money to perform at the door?
The Taoist priest's face was a little dark.
Xu Changsheng didn't point it out, it's not easy for others to make a living, but he just doesn't like the way he pretends to be a ghost, isn't he a touchstone?Next time, he will write the principle in Datang Metropolis Daily to see how he can deceive people in the future.
At this time, the Taoist priest performed again, "This time I will show you a fairy house
