Chapter 79: Sending the Messenger
A few days later
Yu Xuan stood on top of the city tower with her hand in a rectangular box about the size of an adult's head facing the people who came in and out, and pressed a button on the side from time to time to take pictures of the people returning home happily after farming.
After Fusu led several members of the Mo family and several carefully selected craftsmen to participate in the first camera together, Yuxuan took on the role of photographer and volunteered to take on the role of photographer.
When I'm fine, I'll walk around the streets with a photo box in my hand to look for materials.
Then, it will be printed and published in the Daqin Times for publicity.
Among them, I also found a lot of people who have read and written articles to make some news and other reports.
When the first issue of the Times was distributed for free in Upper County, it immediately caused a huge sensation.
It reported the fierceness of the battle to expel the Xiongnu and the peaceful life of the people in Shangjun.
After cutting a series of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, although the people's lives are not good, they are much better than before.
Especially when it was publicized that under the rule of Xianyang, the common people had to deal with all kinds of harsh taxes and heavy forced labor, which already made them feel happy!
The most sensational thing for the people is the appearance of paper!
The free distribution of newspapers for one month is also equivalent to a wave of publicity for the paper mill.
This thin, shredded paper has attracted countless eyes, and many wealthy families have asked around where to buy this lightweight paper.
Even, some nimble businessmen have been thinking about buying and selling to other counties!
Unfortunately, these vendors are doomed to disappointment.
Export, that's the government's business!
The invention of paper, like table salt, was firmly in the hands of the government, except for a few local shops that could buy and sell small quantities in Shanggun.
"The system is too conscientious, and the simple photo box that has been optimized and improved by the system is connected to the printing house, and the photos taken can be directly molded and led to every newspaper.
Although it is a black and white photo, the clarity is not high, but the scene and the expressions of the characters can be clearly reflected. ”
Fusu sat on a high chair, holding a newspaper that had just been printed and still smelled of ink, and couldn't help but chew on it.
The camera is very primitive, and the clarity is not much higher than that of black and white photos in the fifties and sixties.
However, there is an additional printing device connected to .......
Fusu gritted the back socket and complained in his mind: "Can you be a little more hacky, you were a photocopier at the time!" ”
The voice of the system's mechanization sounded in his head: "It is already the lowest grade configuration, if it is even lower, it can only be engraved and printed by the host itself." ”
“……”
Fusu just complained casually, but he didn't expect that the system that usually doesn't appear no matter how he summons it would give a serious reply!
But it's just because I feel that I feel surprised and complain casually, there can be a simpler way, who would be stupid to choose the time-consuming and laborious stupid method of engraving!
At the same time, a fast horse galloped into the city of Xianyang.
"Report, the messenger of Shangjun has something to ask to see Your Majesty!"
A little eunuch ran to the Qilin Hall with small steps, and cautiously reported it.
Zhao Gao and Li Si also led a group of civil and military officials to the early dynasty, and when they heard the little eunuch's report, they couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously turned their heads to look at the throne above.
It's a pity that the top is empty, and Hu Hai didn't go to court at all.
All affairs were discussed and decided by Zhao Gao and Li Si and a group of ministers.
However, after all, Zhao Gao is a close person around the emperor, and every time his opinion is blocked, he will bring beautiful women and fun to please Hu Hai.
Then add fuel and vinegar to explain the matter again, and then Li Si relied on the hint that the prime minister wanted to dominate the court.
Hu Hai, the second lord, is just in line with the beauty people having fun, how can they have the leisure to listen to this.
In order to play with peace of mind, get rid of the noisy flies as soon as possible, and use the seal directly without even reading the content of Zhao Gao's prepared edict.
Zhao Gao relied on the emperor's will to suppress Li Si again and again, and in just one month, the people were dissatisfied, making the lives of the people who couldn't eat even more difficult!
"The Upper County Courier?"
Li Si thought for a moment and turned his head and asked, "Do you want to inform Your Majesty?" ”
Zhao Gao narrowed his eyes and sneered gloomily: "Your Majesty has an order, no one should be disturbed during the immortal search!" If the Prime Minister wants to ask His Majesty, then please do so. ”
Li Si was stunned, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.
I scolded in my heart, His Majesty is a well-known thing to have fun in the harem, and what kind of bullshit is to seek immortals, this eunuch can say it!
However, after being reprimanded for disturbing Hu Hai for fun last time, Li Si wisely chose to remain silent.
Zhao Gao looked at the dignified Prime Minister Qin who was so pressed that he couldn't open his mouth, and he was very proud in his heart.
Turning his head and sneering, "Bring people up!" ”
"No!"
The little eunuch replied, and hurriedly trotted out all the way, and soon stepped into the main hall with a man dressed as a scribe.
Zhao Gao looked at the visitor with cold eyes, and said in a sharp voice: "Present Fusu's letter!" ”
The messenger looked up at the empty throne above, and said without humility or arrogance: "My son-in-law has a letter to pass on to Emperor Yi, please report it!" ”
As soon as the words came out, it immediately caused an uproar below!
The Qilin Hall openly called Hu Hai the Righteous Emperor, and none of the civil and military officials present still understood the meaning, and opened their mouths in surprise one by one.
Suddenly understood, it seems that the relationship between Xianyang and Shangjun is not as harmonious as His Majesty and the Prime Minister said!
The two words Emperor Yi have fully demonstrated the attitude of the eldest son who supports the army and respects himself in Shangjun!
"Bold!"
Zhao Gao raised his eyebrows, and scolded angrily: "You dare to despise Your Majesty, ...... someone come!" ”
Suddenly, the armor soldier outside heard the greeting and ran in menacingly.
The Messenger held his head high, and there was no sign of it.
Seeing this, Li Si hurriedly raised his hand to stop him: "Wait!" ”
The armor man paused, and immediately stopped moving.
Zhao Gao was annoyed in his heart, and as if his authority had been provoked, he asked at all: "Prime Minister, do you want to shield this traitor!" ”
Li Si's face was serious, and he turned his head and said meaningfully: "Lord Zhao thinks twice, do you really want to ...... with Shangjun?" ”
He stopped halfway through his sentence.
Zhao Gao was stunned, his angry expression eased, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty is looking for immortals, I don't have time to meet you, just submit the letter!" ”
The messenger seemed to have been instructed before he came, and was not too reluctant.
Slowly reaching out and carefully removing something folded into small squares from his arms, he held it in both hands and handed it forward.
Lang Sheng said: "My son-in-law said that from now on, the Daqin Times printed in Shangjun will be sold in all counties, and you can't stop it!" ”
"Daqin Times?"
Zhao Gao glanced at something that was folded into a square, like a brocade silk, and he didn't bother to take it.
Annoyed sneered: "Hahaha, what a big breath, if we don't agree!" ”
The whole book
