Chapter 126: The Newspaper
"The minister is against!"
Wei Zheng resolutely opposed the opinion of Dai Guan, the head of the household department, "Now that Shanxi is in a serious drought, there may be no harvest, and if this batch of grain is misappropriated now, it will cause very serious consequences at that time!" ”
"Well, this batch of grain is not a lot of money, even if it is put on the market, it will be a drop in the bucket and useless!"
Li Er sighed helplessly.
"But the top priority is to solve the problem of food shortage in Chang'an City first, if this matter is not resolved, there will inevitably be a big mess!"
With a bitter face, Dai Xuan continued: "Now there are not many grain stores in the city that are still open, and besides, the price of grain has been rising wildly, if it is not controlled, it may provoke a civil uprising!" ”
"Your Majesty, why don't you call the horse, he has a lot of ideas, maybe he can solve this matter?"
Wei Chigong arched his hand, and then said.
"That's right, Your Majesty, why don't you find the horse, he will definitely have a way!"
Cheng Yanjin also played the game and echoed Wei Chigong's opinion.
"That's right, the horse is resourceful and should be able to solve this crisis!"
After hearing the words of the two of them, the eldest grandson Wuji also hurriedly said.
Actually, before the two of them spoke, he thought of this method, but seeing that the emperor had never meant this, he didn't mention it!
Just now, when Wei Chigong mentioned the horse, he deliberately observed Li Er's expression and found that he was a little moved, so he hurriedly spoke.
"Why did I forget about him......!"
Li Er instructed Wang De beside him, "Go!" Call this kid over to me, and get to the bottom of it, isn't this because of him? He must be left to figure it out! ”
"Yes!"
After Wang De received the order, he didn't dare to delay, and after bowing, he trotted out.
In fact, he also wanted to mention the horse for a long time, but the eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics, and the emperor was very taboo about it, so he didn't dare to speak.
......
Chang'an City! Ink Workshop!
"How's it going? Have you bought them all? ”
Zhao Yin walked on the street, looked at the workshops on both sides, and asked Yu Chi Baolin and the others behind him.
"Except for the workshops of the Zheng family and the Lu family, the rest have been taken down by us!"
Yu Chi Baoqi pointed to the workshop on the side of the road and said proudly: "There are nearly twenty paper workshops and bookstores in Wenmo Workshop, but because of the monopoly of Lu and Zheng, business has not been good. ”
"Uh-huh......!"
Zhao Yin nodded with satisfaction, "Have you left all the current long-term workers in the store?" ”
"Brother Yin, don't worry, how dare we forget what you explained? Hey......! Originally, the workshop was sold, and they were still worried about their future life, but when we said that not only would they stay and continue to work, but also double their wages, they were so happy that they were about to kneel down to you! ”
"Well, that's ......!"
Zhao Yin pointed to a shop in front of him and said, "Let's go, let's go and see how Hou Qingli and their side are doing?" ”
Led by Zhao Yin, several people walked to the "Zhenguan Newspaper Office" under the protection of a team of guards.
"The horse master is so ......!"
"The horse master is so ......!"
As soon as he walked in, people kept saying hello to him.
"Today is the sun hitting the west and coming out? The horse master is also free to come over in person? ”
Hou Qingli, who was immersed in writing, saw him come in, and said in a strange manner.
Ever since she and Li Wanting were tricked into it by this guy, all the things in the bookstore have been thrown to the two of them!
That's all it takes, they went to Zhao Yin several times and wanted a few words, but they were all excused by this kid!
And a bookstore, he actually named it "Newspaper"? said that Li Wanting is the editor-in-chief, and she is the president!
The two of them were confused, and they still don't know what title this is?
I don't know what this newspaper does?
Anyway, I've been in a daze for so many days.
At first, there were not enough people, so they called all the literate maids in the house.
The salary is naturally paid by this kid, and it has to be double the original before they are willing to do it!
Otherwise, if the work is so boring every day, it is better to stay in the house and be a maid.
"Are the letterings all engraved now?"
Zhao Yin didn't have time to quarrel with her, so he went straight to the point!
Since this girl got acquainted with herself, she has become more and more unruly.
"I went to urge it yesterday, it should be soon, and it will be almost finished tomorrow!"
Li Wanting also put down the work in her hand, raised her head and said to Zhao Yin.
"Okay, when it's engraved tomorrow, I'll print this out first!"
Zhao Yin put the stack of manuscripts in his hand on the table in front of her.
"What is this?"
Li Wanting picked up the manuscript on the table and flipped through it casually.
"Script! As for the quantity...... Let's print a thousand copies first! ”
Zhao Yin plans to print a little less to test the water, after all, this ancient is different from modern times!
"What? A thousand copies? Are you sure how much you want to print? ”
Li Wanting looked at him in surprise, and asked suspiciously: "This kind of thing is useless at all, and I can't pass the exam during the scientific examination, so no one buys it at all, isn't it a waste of resources if you print so much?" ”
"The words of this horse are different from what you usually see, not only will it not be wasted, but it will not be good, and it is not enough to sell!"
Zhao Yin smiled slightly smugly.
"Martial arts history ......?"
Li Wanting stared at the pieces of paper carefully, looked at them with relish, and after a while, she heard her exclaim, "What's the matter?" What about the back......? ”
"No, that's all!"
"Only if there is no beginning and no end, you will be a fool to buy it!"
Li Wanting gave him a blank look.
He was seeing Xing's head, and the result was gone, and it wasn't fun at all.
The books sold by other bookstores are all thick ones, but he is good, only a few thousand words, and just saw someone robbing his relatives, and it was gone!
This is obviously the beginning!
Just this kind of book, let alone a thousand copies, even ten copies can't be sold!
"Let you print, you will print, this book is not only bought, but also queued up to buy it!"
"Boasting about ...... again!"
Li Wanting snorted coldly and glanced at him with great disdain.
"Why don't we make a bet?"
"Bet on what?"
"If you lose, you will promise you one thing, and if you don't, you will promise me one thing, how about it?"
"Who's afraid of whom!"
Li Wanting didn't think about it, and agreed.
Just this kind of book with a head and no tail, someone is going to steal the fun when they buy it, and they are still competing to buy it?
Pipe dream!
"That's it!"
Zhao Yin smiled secretly.
"By the way, who is going to marry Zhu Qiqi? Giving such a precious dowry gift? ”
After finalizing the gambling contract, Li Wanting blinked a pair of big watery eyes and asked curiously.
"Hey, hey, it's a secret ......!"
Zhao Yin shook his head mysteriously.
He also plans to rely on this story to hang them here all the time, how can he easily reveal it?
In order to attract the reader, he deliberately left a suspense at the end of the chapter.
"Humph! If you don't say it, forget it......! ”
Li Wanting forcibly suppressed her curiosity and snorted coldly pretending to be full of care.
