The more people talked, the more lively it became, this Chang'an City is a place where people from all the states of the world gather, and the flow of news is much faster than that of the poor countryside.

Now that someone has opened the chatterbox, everyone's conversation is also strong.

The people of the Tang Dynasty were already heroic, even if they drank tea, they would not speak with too much evasion.

Only then did Li Shimin understand that the military and civilians in the world actually had nothing to do with him.

Of course, in fact, Li Shimin has gradually accepted this fact, but it is not yet a certainty.

Isn't this true in all dynasties?

He remained silent and continued to open the other pages of the newspaper.

In this newspaper, in addition to recording a lot of new things, there are news from Chang'an, there are also from all the states in the world, and even has the function of a calendar, there will be a place for tofu blocks, recording that today is a certain year, a certain year, month and a certain day, and the yellow calendar on the information that today is suitable for travel, not suitable for marriage, etc.

In this era, there is no special yellow calendar for peddling, the date of this thing, can only rely on the memory of the older generation, but people are convinced of the yellow calendar, now there is a newspaper, if you buy a copy every day, you can immediately know the current information.

In addition, there are also a number of collected articles, which are published on the top, apparently for the readers.

The contents of this newspaper can be described as all-encompassing, and anyone can intercept the information they want.

Li Shimin even moved himself, with this newspaper, it seems that there is no need for the hundred horsemen in the palace, it is better to let someone send a newspaper into the palace every day.

Of course, this idea is "only" fleeting, and Li Shimin knows better than anyone else that it is easy to establish an institution, but it is even more difficult to abolish an institution than to ascend to the sky, so it is better to keep it.

He looked down at Xiao Xuan's window and saw that the newspaper seller, because of the 'vigor' of the news in the newspaper, he quickly sold out the stack of newspapers in his hand.

So he hurriedly told the person who was going to buy the newspaper: "I'll go and pick up the goods, and forgive me." ”

As he spoke, he ran away in a puff of smoke.

In the streets and alleys, it seems that all that is being discussed now is His Majesty's article, which is nothing less than an unprecedented message for the people at this time.

The same is true in the tea shop, people are still talking about His Majesty's persuasion, and there are different opinions, and then more and more people come to the tea shop, and the more people gossip.

Seem...... Everyone's impression of today's son is very good, and the evaluation of the article is also very high, but what they think in their hearts, Li Shimin does not know.

At this time, Li Shimin sat here, and only then did he realize that the feedback of public opinion was actually like this, which was completely different from what the ministers had reported.

He stood up, let the account be settled, and then drove back to the palace.

Zhang Qian was cautious, he noticed that some of His Majesty's attitudes towards the newspaper were different, and he was worried that Baiqi would be affected by this, but at this time he didn't dare to say more, so he had to wait anxiously for His Majesty to be happy, and confide in his thoughts.

In fact, the second issue of the newspaper has already sold like crazy.

At first, I just wanted to sell 6,000 copies, but then I started to print desperately, but when I printed 15,000 copies, there were still many newspaper sellers who came to ask for goods.

This is something that Chen Aizhi never imagined, and what he didn't expect was that the military and civilians were so interested in today's content.

In fact, not only these merchants, but even many merchants have seen the business opportunities of this newspaper.

In the past, if the states wanted to understand the movements of Chang'an, they would often send people to Chang'an to copy the Di Bao, the so-called Di Bao, often some official trends, so that the governors of the states and counties had an understanding of the imperial court, after all, if the news was too closed, said something wrong, and did something wrong, it was very likely to cause terrible consequences.

And some local families, also have the intention of understanding the news of Chang'an, they may not pursue the timeliness of the newspaper, even if it is half a month, or even a month ago, they don't care, and the amount of information in the newspaper is too large, some merchants came to Chang'an to buy, so they moved their minds, bought dozens of hundreds of copies, and brought them back to their hometowns to sell.

The demand for newspapers in various states is also huge, and there are more than 300 states and more than 1,500 counties in the world, which county does not have a certain demand? There are seven or eight officials in a county, and there are more than a dozen important scribes, not to mention, there are also some local clans, heroes, and merchants.

Luoyang has the greatest demand, and the merchants of Luoyang, even if they order 2,000 copies, will be sent to Luoyang for sale, and Yangzhou ...... The same is probably the case, a little less, and there are a thousand copies.

The other small counties, or twenty, or thirty or fifty, are all varied.

There are even businessmen who simply buy old newspapers on the market, which is not to save money, but there is really no way to do it...... After all, the newspaper is out of stock.

The demand for this second phase was much higher than expected, so it ...... When we found that printing could not solve the problem, we had to continue to recruit craftsmen and configure more printing machines.

In that exchange, it can now be said that there is a newspaper in each person's hand, and the sales of newspapers here are the best, and some people even read the articles of His Majesty's persuasion, and they have a whim, and they run to invest in papermaking.

Newspapers bring different ideas to different people, and for businessmen, after reading the information in the newspaper, they always feel that they should invest something. For readers, they are immersed in the pros and cons of the articles. For ordinary people, they are more interested in anecdotes. As for the ministers in the court and the officials in the official office, it is through certain messages to deduce the movements of the court and His Majesty.

It seems that everyone can draw something from it, whether the judgment is accurate or not, but at least ...... The message is in front of you, and you can judge for yourself.

Chen Aizhi found the third uncle in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Ancestor." ”

Chen Aizhi is one or two generations younger than Chen Zhengtai, and the third uncle is too high for him.

He hurriedly continued: "Now it seems that the newspaper in the future, if each issue is not printed 350,000 copies, it will not be possible, but in this way, it will increase the difficulty, the editorial room is okay to say, now there is enough manpower, whether it is sorting information, collecting and editing, or typesetting, there is no worry for the time being, but now the most important thing is to expand the workshop......

"I'm here to ask for money."

The third uncle took a sip of tea calmly, and then looked at Chen Aizhi with a smile and said, "This is all a trivial matter, is our Chen family short of money?" What is missing is how to spend the money, and now there is such a name, you can rest assured. ”

Although the third uncle is old, he is better at money than anyone else!

This number is obvious, if there are 50,000 sales per day, then it is very impressive.

In a month, 1.5 million copies were sold.

A newspaper with 30 articles will have a turnover of 50,000 yuan in a month.

50,000 is not much...... But barely keeping the newspaper running is enough, not to mention...... With the increasing influence of newspapers, if the sales increase a lot, and then tap some other ways to make profits, then the annual turnover can exceed one million.

This is a ...... No matter how you look at it, you don't lose money.

The third uncle then said to Chen Aizhi: "Today's newspaper, the old man also read it, the article on the front page is really well written, what are you going to write on the front page of tomorrow's issue?" ”

"This ......" Chen Aizhi was embarrassed for a while: "In Chang'an City, the price of rice has risen a lot recently, and I personally wrote a related article and wanted to ......"

"By this?" The third uncle shook his head, and said with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel: "That's it, how can you increase sales?" ”

"Ah......" Chen Aizhi hurriedly said: "Please also ask the ancestor to teach." ”

The third uncle smiled and said: "I can't talk about teaching, in fact, the old man doesn't know much about the operation of the newspaper, but after reading today's issue of the newspaper, the old man, as a reader, has a question." Let me ask you, this article of His Majesty has caused such a big controversy, it can be said that there are different opinions. So...... Do you want to interpret His Majesty's article? ”

Chen Aizhi suddenly realized, her eyes suddenly opened slightly, and said: "I understand, what the ancestor means is that I will write an article about His Majesty's persuasion to learn......"

"You're a fart," the third uncle looked at him with disdain, and his tone was not polite at all!

It's good to be old, seeing that everyone is a junior, just scolding, the older you are, the worse your temper is, and this is not a problem with the third uncle.

It's all instigated by these juniors.

The third uncle said fairly: "Fool, of course, I invited important people to write articles and interpret the original intention of His Majesty's persuasion." What is your Chen Aizhi, no matter how good the article is, does anyone like to read it? Don't take yourself too seriously, you ...... now If you want to hurry, immediately go to Fang Gong to ask for a manuscript, and just say...... Now there is a lot of speculation about the emperor's heart, Fang Gong is the prime minister, if he can also deign to write an article, it would be great. ”

Chen Aizhi was stunned for a moment, and then frowned in embarrassment: "This ...... Fang Gong has every opportunity, he will be willing to ......"

"It does him three benefits." The third uncle said fairly: "First, Your Majesty wrote an article, and as the prime minister, he also followed suit, so it seems that he follows Your Majesty all the time." Second, it is a good name for everyone, and now the sales of the newspaper are rising, if you write an article that survives, it can be read by people all over the world, which is also a beautiful thing for Fang Gong. And the third, the most powerful, Fang Gong can use the article to explain his understanding of His Majesty's persuasion, and there must be a lot of beautiful words in it, so ...... Fang Gong can also be regarded as having a heart-to-heart with His Majesty through the article, you say, is this the best of all three worlds for Fang Gong? ”

When Chen Aizhi heard this, she suddenly woke up and said busily: "I see, it is indeed very beneficial to the father-in-law." However, there are also several advantages to the newspaper, one of which is that His Majesty's article was published the day before, and now the Prime Minister's article is published, so that the matter can continue to ferment. Second, there are different opinions in the market, and Fang Gong writes an article to explain things thoroughly, which can avoid ambiguity. Third, His Majesty and Fang Gong have written articles, and it will be much easier for us to ask for a manuscript in the future, and next time, it will be easy to make an appointment with the eldest grandson Xianggong and the scholar of Yu Shi Nanyu University. ”

"That's right." The third uncle smiled and said: "The fool can be taught, it seems that you are quite enlightened, without further ado, hurry up and do something." ”

Chen Aizhi didn't dare to slack off anymore and hurriedly left.

It's getting late now, and Fang Xuanling has already been on duty, but the newspaper was actually sent to his office desk very early, after all, His Majesty personally wrote the article, how could Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, not read it?

After reading the article, Fang Xuanling only praised the Chen family for really having any way to make money, and it seemed that he also sensed that the newspaper might have a great impact in the future.

Who knows, as soon as he returned to the house, he became cautious and cautious, tiptoeing back to the study, so as not to meet his wife, and he could also have a cleaner ear, who knew that the door said that someone from the Chen family newspaper came to visit.

"Chen Family Newspaper ......" Fang Xuanling frowned, a little surprised.

But after all, the other party is from the Chen family, in fact, Fang Xuanling, the dignified prime minister, is not seen by everyone, but the other party reported his identity, and he still had to give this face, so he simply asked people to wait in the small hall.

Fang Xuanling changed into comfortable clothes and came to meet the guests, and Chen Aizhi immediately explained her intentions.

Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment, and then his mind became active, in fact, when he first read His Majesty's article, he had some thoughts, and he was wondering at that time, what is the deep meaning of Your Majesty's article, and the courtiers are trying to figure out the emperor's thoughts, of course, it must be at all times.

Now he actually came to ask him to write an article, which made him both vigilant and moved.

What is vigilant is that when you write your own articles, you must not speculate on the emperor's heart at will.

What is interesting is that perhaps we can use this to write an article, along Your Majesty's line of thought, to expound the beauty of Your Majesty's persuasion, and to praise each other a few words between monarchs and ministers, which is also a good story, Your Majesty will not only not blame, but may also have a sympathetic heart.

What's more, as the third uncle said...... Fang Xuanling does love fame, to the point of being the prime minister, if his articles can be known to the world, why not?

He quickly answered with a full mouth.

Chen Aizhi said slightly apologetically: "It's just...... Typography and printing will start tonight, so the time may be a little rushed, so I implore the landlord to hurry up, and prepare the article before midnight. ”

"It's easy to do." Fang Xuanling said in his heart, there are still many hours, this is not enough for the old man!

However, he remembered something at this time, and said: "I heard that your newspaper hall actually recruited Cheng Chumo and beat the imperial history?" Does Chen Juma know about this? ”

"Ah, Chen Juma...... Naturally, my family Langjun doesn't know. Chen Aizhi insisted: "Beating people is their Cheng family's business, what does it have to do with our Chen family?" ”
