Chapter 156: The Racecourse Opens
Li Shimin did not express his stance on banning the newspaper, which made Li Mu very happy, and decided to make good use of this month's trial period to do a good job, otherwise it would be inconvenient for him to interfere when it was officially published.
So after Li Shimin left, Li Mu called Li Zhien again, and mobilized the hydrological skills when he was promoting the game in his previous life.
"Seventeen-year-old Marquis of the founding county? Seven secrets you must know about the deer marquis! ”
"Putting life and death out of the way! Tang Jian's Envoy to the Turks (I)"
"The moon was full that year (above)"
The first of the three articles tells why Li Mu was named the county marquis, and lists his merits.
The second is documentary literature, telling the story of Tang Jian's envoy to the Turks. It was published in two issues, the first of which tells the story of Tang Jian's envoy to the Turkic betrayal to find Li Mu to deliver the letter. The second issue tells how Li Mu escaped from the Turkic camp and saw the general Li Jing, and how Li Jing took the opportunity to take advantage of the fog assault to win a complete victory and rescue Tang Jian. It mainly tells the story of Tang Jian's sacrifice of life and death in order to complete his mission, and also highlights Li Mu's filial piety and righteousness.
The last one is a novel-style manuscript that tells the story of his and Li Siwen's defense of Dingxiang City. Published in three issues, the first issue tells the story of Li Siwen in order to save his brother's life and trick him into setting off, and after he learned the truth, he resolutely turned around and returned. The second issue tells about the fierce battle in Dingxiang City. The third issue tells the story that for the sake of the lives of the people in the city, Li Mu and Li Siwen discussed using the secret passage to retreat, while Li Mu stayed in the city alone, waiting for the opportunity to snatch the jade seal from Princess Yicheng.
Out of context like a dog, it stops abruptly when it reaches the critical point. Li Zhien listened to him dictate next to him, and he was anxious when he listened. She didn't know about this matter, and even some plots, Bai Qiaoqiao heard about it for the first time. asked him to talk about the rest of the matter, but he didn't say it, and the second daughter was so angry that he didn't care that his buttocks were injured, and one of them twisted his arm.
Finally, there is a routine lace advertisement, this issue of the advertisement, Li Mu gave Tongshanfang Wang Ou's silk shop, the right to repay a favor.
By the end of the dictation, it was already late at night. Li Mu asked Li Zhien to take the manuscript for printing, and with yesterday's experience, the speed of printing today has obviously accelerated a lot. And Li Zhien is also more experienced, from two shifts to three shifts, and the rest time of the people is more, so that they will not be out of energy tomorrow.
In this way, three days passed, Li Mu updated "Tang Jian's Envoy to the Turks", "That Year the Moon Was Full", and then put a wave of advertisements for his own winery, an advertisement for the heaven and earth that opened at the end of the month, and then sang three praises to Li Shimin. On the fourth day, Li Mu's buttocks finally scabbed over with the help of Sun Simiao's gold sore medicine.
And the people of Chang'an, who have been brainwashed for three days, have become fans of Zhulu Hou nine times out of ten. By the way, Tang Jian and Li Siwen were also popular, and although they did not mention the Boling Cui family in the past few days, the preconceived people of Chang'an have already regarded the Boling Cui family as a murderer, and the two doors in front and back of Cui Wensheng's mansion were blocked with dirt by the indignant people. What's more, he even took advantage of the bright sky to pour the Gong bucket at the door of Cui Wensheng's house, making the entire street and alley smelly. Cui Wensheng was still in tandem in the first two days, wanting to tell Li Mu on the stage, but later the whole person was depressed and squatted in the house and didn't go out.
Today, it is the day of the opening of Chengjia Racecourse. Li Mu happened to have a scab on his buttocks, and he planned to take a look. If he doesn't want to go, he can't, the carriage sent by the Suguo Mansion is waiting at the door early in the morning, if he doesn't go, Cheng Yanjin can tie him up.
If in the past few days, in addition to the three key words of 'chasing deer marquis', 'Tang Jian' and 'Dingxiang', the thing that the people of Chang'an are most concerned about is the upcoming Marseille. The first place is 500 times, the second place is 300 times, and the third place is 100 times, a total of nearly 1,000 yuan in rewards, who can not be blushing. And the price of these rewards is just to sign up for a race and ride a horseback for a lap, which is simply too easy.
For the nobles of Chang'an City, who doesn't have a horse, if they can get a first name, the money will be in hand, and the name will be in hand. Even if you can't get any rankings, it's good to show your face for such a grand event. No matter what dynasty it is, there is never a shortage of people joining in the fun.
The number of applicants far exceeded expectations, and Li Mu's buttocks were injured again and it was inconvenient to move. He didn't know what to do when he encountered something, so he had to go back and forth to the horse farm and the Zhuluhou Mansion to ask Li Mu. Li Mu gave him ideas one by one, such as the preliminaries, horse registration, finding a horse master, what kind of rider to choose, etc., all of which he finalized one by one. Although Cheng Yanjin didn't use any brains, he really paid a lot of physical strength, he was quite old, he really couldn't run, and Cheng Chumo was running for the next two days.
Finally, when it was race day, the preliminary work was almost complete, and a total of twenty shortlisted horses and forty knights were selected. I found a painter to draw a graphic, marked the year, coat color, breed, etc., and pasted it on a bulletin board outside the racecourse.
Since the morning, many people have been waiting outside the horse farm, looking inside, to see what kind of good method these twenty good horses have been selected from hundreds of horses.
Cheng Yanjin was in the horse farm, looking at the crowds outside the fence, but his face was not happy. In the past few days, his most intuitive feeling is to let Li Mu get a pit, not because of the side, but because this business is far more difficult than he thought, these days have been running and bumping, and then he is in a hurry, and there are already big blisters on his mouth, he knows so many things, he will not necessarily do this business. Now it's difficult to ride a tiger, if you want to do it, you have invested thousands of dollars, plus the publicity of Datang Daily, Chang'an knows it, and you can't afford to lose people. Even if you admit compensation, you have to grit your teeth.
If you don't open the market, there is no other reason, just to be afraid of losing money. And Cheng Yanjin is also pinning his hopes on making money, if Li Mu presides, maybe, maybe...... You can still make money.
"Report! Grandpa, the carriage of the deer marquis arrived at the back door. ”
"Hurry up, hurry up, please!" Cheng Yanjin got up from the chair and shouted. The subordinate who reported the news hurriedly went to greet him, but Cheng Yanjin hesitated for a moment and chased after him. Seeing Li Mu getting down from the car slowly, taking three steps and doing two steps, grabbed his arm, and said hurriedly: "When is it, you are still slow and leisurely, look at the blisters on the old man's mouth, I am almost dying!" ”
Li Mu broke away from Cheng Jin's tugging, and said: "Uncle Cheng, the injury on the little nephew's buttocks is not good yet, and he has to raise it for a few days, but if it weren't for the opening of the horse farm today, I wouldn't have gotten out of bed." Isn't everything arranged, what's the hurry? ”
"Money!"
"Huh?" Li Mu didn't understand, Cheng Biting Jin stomped his foot and explained: "This hasn't opened yet, the game will start in two hours, and there is no money, but I have almost 2,500 yuan in it!" ”
