Chapter 207: Retaining Talents!

"Ah~! I also missed the company, and almost forgot to give a lesson to the students! ”

Assistant Teacher Mu looked at the hour and suddenly exclaimed. Saying goodbye to everyone, he also hurried to the Taixue Hall. It's just that he was anxious, and at the same time, an idea came to his heart: Since "Datang Daily" has paid a lot of money to collect articles from everyone, can I also try it?

Unlike Wang Yalun's wealthy family and no shortage of money, the salary of Assistant Teacher Mou is still relatively low, if the article is adopted, then it can not only make a name for itself, but also make money to subsidize the family, isn't it beautiful!

Thinking so, Assistant Teacher Mu's pace became faster and faster.

…………

"Hello sir!"

In the usual two-quarter hour journey, Assistant Teacher Mu was nearly twice as fast, he stood on the podium, coughed dryly, and said:

"Ahem! Sir, I have been delayed in some things before, so in the afternoon, we will study on our own and review what I explained in the morning! ”

Assistant Teacher Mu was not here, he wittily learned Li Zexuan's lazy tricks in the arithmetic hall, and let the students study by themselves.

Although the students were puzzled, they couldn't ask too much, so they could only say yes obediently.

Seeing that the place had settled down, Assistant Teacher Mu asked a few students to help keep an eye on it, and then hurried to the office. He remembered that it was written in the "Datang Daily", the daily newspaper is published every day, and the submission should be made as soon as possible, so go back and write it now, and then send it to Wonder Culture, maybe it will be available in the newspaper tomorrow.

……………

East City, a restaurant.

"Ah~! It turns out that there has been a tragedy in Xinfeng County recently, no wonder I went to the child's second aunt's house last time, and I saw so many officials on the road! ”

"Who's to say it isn't! This family is miserable! ”

"Wang Dagou, what are you talking about? Why didn't I understand? ”

"Haha, Zhao Er, haven't you read today's newspaper?"

"What newspaper?"

"Whoa! That's it, there are children in Chang'an this morning who are selling this, so you didn't buy one? ”

"Good boy, such a big piece of paper, and so many words, I can't afford it! What's written on this? Is it pretty? ”

"Haha, Zhao Lao Er, you are wrong this time, this newspaper is not expensive, only five cents, how about it, are you very surprised? Haha, I also told you that the things written in this newspaper are so fucking interesting, for example, I read one to you: 'A drunken scholar met an Oiran in the Qinglou by chance, and did such an unbearable thing!' How's that? Would you like to see it? ”

The man named Zhao Laoer's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said with a lewd smile: "I want to see it, big dog brother, tell me what happened next?" ”

Wang Dagou saw Zhao Lao Er, his face was anxious, the vanity in his heart was greatly satisfied, so he smiled proudly: "Hehe, then I'll tell you about it, two days ago, a drunk scholar wandered to Pingkangfang ........."

With Wang Dagou's narration, more and more people gathered next to this table, the newcomer didn't know what Wang Dagou was talking about, and only after asking did he understand that it was an interesting story about the "Datang Daily", and then after asking the bottom of the question, he naturally began to be surprised by the low price of "Datang Daily", and secretly resolved in his heart that he must buy a copy when he meets a child selling newspapers tomorrow. It would be foolish not to buy such an interesting and cheap newspaper.

……………

This interesting phenomenon is rapidly spreading to all parts of Chang'an. Newspapers, a novelty thing, are also quietly entering the lives of the people of Datang.

"Brother Ma, how is the newspaper selling today?"

Li Zexuan went straight to the workshop after class today, he came to the back hall, found Ma Zhou, and asked directly.

"Sir, you're here."

Ma Zhou first saluted Li Zexuan, and then he said with a red face: "This morning, the sales of the newspaper are not good, after all, this is something that has just been launched, and many people have not cleared what the newspaper is, and those who were willing to spend money to buy it at that time were mostly greedy for the cheap newspaper, not because of the content of the newspaper." So in one morning, less than 400 copies of the newspaper were sold. But when it was close to noon, several groups of people suddenly came, all of them seemed to have come to the mansion, and each of them bought dozens of copies, and they all seemed to know the contents of the newspaper. Before you arrived, all the newspapers had been sold out today. ”

The more Ma Zhou said, the more excited he became, he did have a reason for being excited, first of all, the newspaper sold well, which was an affirmation of his hard work some time ago, on the other hand, the first edition of the newspaper, but there were many of his long-brewing proud works, which are now widely praised in Chang'an, his political views, his ambitions, will be read by countless people, and he is now very likely to become famous in one fell swoop.

Li Zexuan looked at Ma Zhou, who was excited, and said with a meaningful smile: "Haha, now that Brother Ma is about to become a big celebrity in Chang'an City, it won't be long before the princes of the court will know that there is such a talented sage among the people, and maybe Your Majesty will be shocked when the time comes, and the day when Brother Ma will soar is not far away, haha!" ”

Li Zexuan is right, gold will shine wherever it is, and a genius like Ma Zhou, Li Er will definitely spare no effort to recruit a genius like Ma Zhou. According to the records in the history books, in the fifth year of Zhenguan, Li Er asked each of the officials in the court to write an article about the gains and losses of current politics, at that time Ma Zhou was only in Zhonglang General Chang He (this person is very important, is Taizong's cronies and important ministers, the change of Xuanwu Gate that year, the guard of Xuanwu Gate is Chang He), the door made a doorman, Chang He is a military general, can not dance and ink, see the emperor asked him to write an article, can't help but get anxious.

When Ma Zhou learned the news, he took the initiative to write this article for Chang He in the spirit of repaying his kindness, and Chang He was very happy, so he asked Ma Zhou to write it himself. A few days later, Chang He presented the article on current affairs written by Ma Zhouyi to Li Er to watch, Li Er was surprised after reading it, he knew that Chang He was not good at writing, how could he write such a thorough article. He didn't believe that this was written by Chang He, so he asked Chang He if he wrote it, Chang He was honest and didn't take any credit, so he honestly confessed to Li Er.

Li Eryi was very happy to hear that Chang He's disciple actually had such a genius, and immediately wanted to meet this talent. He thought of doing it, and ordered someone to call Ma Zhou to Chang He Mansion, but he didn't expect that Ma Zhou's shelf was still very big, and the attendant who was sent came back alone. Li Er not only did not get angry, but also sent someone to invite Ma Zhou again, and sent envoys four times before inviting this arrogant Ma Zhou to the palace.

This is the very famous story of "Taizong's Four Invitations to Ma Zhou" in history. Li Zexuan had really heard their history teacher talk about it in his previous life, so he deliberately said this today, wanting to see how Ma Zhou responded. In fact, he himself is not sure whether he can keep Ma Zhou, after all, the temple of Strange Culture is still too small, and it is a little too small to accommodate the great god Ma Zhou. Compared with Li Er's high temple, the strange culture is not attractive.

What a character Ma Zhou is, he naturally tasted the other meanings in Li Zexuan's words. He looked stunned, and after a while, he solemnly arched his hand and said: "Where is the sir, Ma Zhou was just a homeless scholar in Chang'an before, thanks to the sir's refusal to give up, and he is willing to take Ma to do a career together, Ma Zhou has today." Now that the prototype of the curious culture has just taken shape, Ma will never leave! ”
