"Now I'm suddenly sensible."

Li Mu smiled, stretched his waist, and said, "Okay, tomorrow the gambling house will open, there are countless things to do, sleep." ”

"Hmm." The two girls answered, Li Zhien diligently made the bed, Bai Qiaoqiao prepared the clothes that Li Mu would wear tomorrow, put them on the table, and then blew out the lamp.

The night was quiet, Li Muxu was tired from today's busy work, so he didn't do anything, so he snuggled in Bai Qiaoqiao's arms, hugged Li Zhien, and slept quietly all night.

……

As soon as the day dawned, there was already a long queue in front of the printing supervisor of the craftsman's workshop. The "newspaper sellers" all over Chang'an are waiting here early, queuing up to buy newspapers. Today's newspapers have gone up in price. From the beginning, no matter how many tickets there were, all of them cost a penny, to now a newspaper is a penny. That is to say, if there is a lot of content today, if there are two newspapers, you need two articles, and if you have three, you need three articles.

The newspaper seller bought the newspaper for the price of one penny. Then go to each workshop to sell it at double the price, one text becomes two texts, and two texts become four texts. In terms of profit margins, this is a very good deal. In other industries, who can keep making double the income? Therefore, the profession of newspaper seller is becoming more and more sought-after.

The reason for the sought-after is that more and more people are reading newspapers. After all, even when the content is the most, Datang Daily is only three sheets of paper. Six cents is not too much of a burden for the people of Chang'an City. Even if he worked as a coolie in the eastern and western cities, the lowest income was sixty or seventy a day. And the shopkeepers of their own shops have an income of at least 15,600 wen a day, and buying a newspaper is really nothing.

The curiosity for new things is enough to make them willing to spend this money. Especially recently, the original editor-in-chief of Datang Daily, Tang Guan, whose pen name is "Tang Family Seven Youths", came out of the mountain again, serialized by Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu, and the two scripts of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Dream of Red Mansions" collected and compiled by him are even more irresistible, and the sales of the newspaper have nearly doubled in seven days.

The production capacity of the printing supervisor has been challenged again, and now it is already three shifts, day and night. During the day, he printed the "Qianjin Fang" and "Imperial Examination Secret Scroll" written by Li Mu, and printed newspapers at night, but the supply was still insufficient.

If the newspaper seller comes late, he will not be able to grab the newspaper at all, and he can only watch others earn money, but he cannot earn it himself. Therefore, the people queuing up these days are getting earlier and earlier.

With a creak, the seal of the Superintendent opened. The crowd squatting or standing heard the sound of the gate, as if they had heard a starting gun, and rushed forward in unison. As soon as he squeezed to the door, a thick wooden stick poked out of the door and knocked out the person who stepped in first. Bi Laosan's voice came out: "Come in line, come by number, whoever doesn't follow the rules again, let me see it, tomorrow will come, and you won't sell you when you are in line!" ”

The same words, shouted every day, but with little effect. And Bi Laosan is really ruthless, he is also from a hard background, all for food, who is smashing whose job?

However, it was somewhat useful, and as he shouted, the crowd gradually lined up. The newspaper, which had just been printed and was still a little sticky to the touch, was carried out in bundles one by one. Each bundle is a hundred. Each person can only buy 100 copies, this is to take into account the amount that a newspaper seller can sell, and it is also to allow more people to have something to eat, otherwise if a person buys 500 copies, he will probably not sell them, and he will directly change hands to make money.

Today's newspaper, one or two. One hundred copies is two hundred texts, and the requirements of the printing supervisor are that when you line up, the money must be ready, and if you are in line, pay the money and grind, then you can only say sorry.

The newspaper sellers who often come have already been familiar with these routines, taking the newspaper with one hand and giving copper coins with the other. There are no copper coins, so they are directly weighed. It is said that the weights have been adjusted, and according to the standard Kaiyuan Tongbao money, it is enough to count if it is flat, and it is not enough to count if it is not even. Sometimes it's a penny or two, and that's it.

These copper coins will be specially selected, not Kaiyuan Tongbao, but the five baht coins of the previous dynasty, and they will be picked out and sent to the bank to exchange for the same weight of Kaiyuan Tongbao money. And these non-compliant money will be smelted uniformly, recast into Kaiyuan Tongbao money, and then circulated into the market. Naturally, there is a cost to smelting and smelting, but it is a necessary process. A unified currency is the financial foundation of a country.

When the newspaper seller receives the newspaper, he goes out through another door, and then he goes back to his own shop and starts selling. Today's newspaper is a two-sheet newspaper, which is naturally reprinted, and when the newspaper seller sells the newspaper, he usually makes up a shout, similar to the "headline party", so as to attract people to buy the newspaper. Therefore, usually newspaper sellers can read a few words, and they will read the newspaper in advance.

Wang San'er is such a newspaper seller, he is more than 30 years old this Chinese New Year's Eve. Twenty years ago, when Chang'an was still called a great cause, his family had a small fortune in Chang'an City and studied for a few years. Later, the Sui perished, and his family's shop was also destroyed in the war. Since then, his family has fallen into the middle of the road, relying on literacy, from a "newspaper reader" to a "newspaper seller", and at least 100 yuan of income every day, and his life can be regarded as passable.

He lined up early today, and the fifth got the newspaper. Naturally, he went to the West Market, there were many people in the West Market, and when he was walking to the West Market with a newspaper on his back, he took out a newspaper and quickly swept it up.

Pingkangli Four Seas Gambling House, the new business of the Luhou, the opening of the unitary, unitary, Xu, Hai three hours, each hour on time to sprinkle "money rain"?

Wang San'er lived for more than 30 years, and it was the first time he heard the word "money rain", did he fall into the sky? He shook his head, unable to imagine what it was. But looking at this matter about the deer marquis, he is not surprised. That's the Hou of the Deer, how can the people think of the idea he came up with can be imagined by the common people?

Wang San'er kept this in his heart, and thought to himself that he would be busy when he was done, and he would also go for a stroll when the time came.

Looking down the newspaper, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" section, the "Dream of Red Mansions" section, and further down, it is another thing about the deer marquis.

From the first day to the eighth day of the new year, Zhulu Hou set up a ring in Jingdongji, held a "martial arts conference", and invited the rangers from all directions to participate. For detailed rules and rewards, please pay attention to the recent Datang Daily.

Another big thing.

Further down, there is nothing, Wang San'er glanced at it, obviously the theme of today's shouting is these two things.

Stepping into the West Market, Wang San'er cleared his throat and roared: "Come and see, the Four Seas Gambling House is open, and money is falling from the sky!" ”

"Come and see, Zhuluhou will hold a martial arts conference and invite rangers from all directions!"

The shouts sounded, and the shops on both sides of the road opened, and the shopkeepers were sleepy-eyed, took out a few coppers from their arms, and handed them to Wang San'er.

"Bring me one—"

"I want a ...... too"

Before he had walked twenty meters, the newspaper had already sold more than a dozen copies. Wang San'er counted the money happily, thinking in his heart that he would be done early today. When the newspaper is sold, I can go to the construction site in Dongcheng and earn a salary.

……

"Get me a newspaper too."

Li Mu stretched out his hand from the carriage, threw a piece of broken silver to the newspaper seller, and grabbed the newspaper from the newspaper seller.

"This nobleman, can't find a ...... money"

Fang Yiai glanced at the newspaper seller and said, "Don't you recognize this car?" When did you ever find money to buy something? ”

"Ahh The newspaper seller was startled, looked at the appearance of the beloved in the room with a big waist and a round waist, was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, held the broken silver in the palm of his hand, as if he was afraid of being robbed, and quickened his pace and slipped away.

Li Mu said angrily: "Little love, you can't do this." Why don't I need to look for money? Didn't my money come from the wind? It's also my hard work and sweat, but I just didn't bring copper coins? Why, am I such a reputation in the community? ”

Fang Yiai blushed and said, "Master Hou, can you not call me Xiaoai, my name is Fang Jun, and Yiai is my cousin." ”

"That's right, I'll call you a word to show kindness."

"That should also be called Fang Yiai, not Xiao Ai!"

"Okay, good, Ai-chan."

"What does it mean to love sauce!" Fang Yiai was about to collapse, if he didn't feel that he couldn't beat Dugu Jiu sitting on the wheel, he would really have to do it.

Li Mu finished sweeping the newspaper, poked his head out, and grinned: "Ai-chan is ......"

"Ai-chan means, he said you're a girl." Suddenly, a voice interjected, Li Mu followed the sound and looked over, and saw a little donkey, on the back of the donkey, sitting a little monk.

Behind the little monk, there is also a car. Master Huiri also lifted the curtain, and was very embarrassed to Li Muji, and reprimanded: "Yixiu, why are you so rude, Zhulu Hou is talking, what are you involved with?" ”

"He said the brother was a girl, and I just reminded him. This brother is obviously a man, and Master Hou is scolding. ”

"It's called a joke, you little bald man knows a fart!" Li Mu snorted angrily and lowered the curtain. This little bald man has never been seen since he was reprimanded that day, but today he somehow met him.

Master Huiri's voice came, and he said, "Master Hou, I'm really sorry. I don't know how to be polite, so don't be angry. ”

"It's not that you are angry, it's just, Master Huiri, are you planning to stay in Chang'an? Your Majesty won't leave if you don't see you? ”

"Alas......" Master Huiri sighed, he was also very embarrassed, and said stubbornly: "The Central Plains has a saying that sincerity is the opening of the golden stone, and we believe that His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will always see us one day." ”

"Okay, good luck to you." Li Mu said that he wanted to speed up Dugu Jiu, he was too lazy to be an international friend, even if he had a good impression of Yixiu, but it was only limited to a little memory of his previous life. This one is definitely not the one he watched in the cartoon in his previous life, and it is a thousand years away.

Hui Ri's voice came over again, and said, "Master Hou, today we are going to the Yiguo Mansion." ”

"Oh?" When Li Mu heard the three words of Yiguo Gong, he lifted the curtain and asked, "What, go to Daoxi?" ”

"No, Master Hou misunderstood." Master Hui Ri quickly explained, "I am a medical monk who has devoted myself to the study of medical skills for many years. Although I can't compare with the famous doctors in Datang, I also have my own strengths. I heard that in his early years, the Duke of Yi Guo fought in all directions, suffered internal injuries, and often coughed up blood. I happened to be good at this, so I wanted to volunteer to go and treat the Wing Guogong. ”

Li Mu laughed and said, "You are a doctor, have you heard of Sun Simiao's name?" ”

"Naturally, I have heard that Lord Sun Simiao is a miracle doctor."

"Can you cure a disease that even he can't cure?"

Master Hui Ri said solemnly: "Master Hou doesn't know, in the way of medicine, there is no one who knows everything. Doctor Sun is the most skilled in medicine, and he also has diseases that he has never seen and medicinal materials that he does not understand. I don't dare to say that I can defeat Doctor Sun. But when it comes to treating internal injuries, I have my own secret recipe. There is a bitter root medicine, which only grows in the Wa country, and is the best at treating internal injuries, so I want to give it a try. ”

"That's it......" Li Mu nodded and said, "Even if you are reasonable, it is okay, Yiguo Gong is a famous general of my Tang Dynasty, and if you want to treat him, you have to take responsibility." If you can't cure it, your life will be gone, and not only your life, but the entire mission will not be able to leave. But if you are cured, I will return your favor, and you want to see Your Majesty, and I will arrange it after the year. ”

Master Huiri's eyes lit up: "Is what Master Hou said true?" ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "If you believe it, if you don't believe it, you won't have it, let's do it." ”

After that, he lowered the curtain and signaled Dugu Jiu to speed up. The two cars staggered, and Master Huiri looked at Yixiu and said, "Yixiu, this is our only chance!" I hope that the efforts of our masters and apprentices will not be in vain. ”

"Hmm!"

……

"It's here!"

Gao Gonggong got out of the car and reminded him.

Li Shimin opened the curtain and said to the eldest grandson queen next to him: "Wuji, this is Li Mu's new business, and I am here for the first time." “

"Let's go down and see." Empress Changsun said, Li Shimin nodded, got out of the car, stretched out his hand to take Empress Changsun's hand, and helped her get out of the car.

Today, both of them are "out on patrol in micro-clothes", but they are also dressed as rich people, and as soon as they got off the car, a helper approached with a smile on their faces. Gao Gonggong immediately became vigilant, stopped from afar, and said, "Who are you?" What is the intention of being forward? ”

The helper was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained, saying: "This master is invited, the little one is a guy from the Four Seas Gambling House, and the dog master explained that he is here to welcome guests." Please, hand over the carriage to me, and I will place you in the backyard, and wait for you with good grass and materials, and when you leave, I will bring it for you, so as not to delay your business. ”

"This ......" Gonggong Gao looked at Li Shimin, Li Shimin smiled and said: "It's that kid who made it again, give it to him, isn't it good for someone to feed the horse?" ”

Gao Gonggong handed over the carriage to the helper, but he wondered in his heart, who is this dog master?

Just thinking about it, Ergou walked out of the gambling house, saw Gao Gonggong, was startled, and hurriedly wanted to greet him, and when he saw Li Shimin next to Gao Gonggong, his open mouth closed again, this distinguished guest was not something he could entertain, turned around and ran inside.

"Hou Ye, Hou Ye! Big things are wrong! ”
