Chapter 556: Faith

Chen Xu said this, and everyone in the room had a light in their eyes, and they jumped up and rubbed their hands as if they had suddenly taken a strong pill.

"Don't worry, Master Hou, I'll wait here to quickly arrange the disaster, the edict, the news of collecting clothes and the advertisements asking for the help of merchants, and I will start distributing them for sale tomorrow morning!"

"Master Hou, is the advertisement you said really so powerful?" There are still some people in the room who don't quite believe it, it is Comrade Li Shun, who is now both famous and rich.

"Lord Li, I'm afraid you haven't seen the power of our Daqin Metropolis Daily, do you want us to publish a news that Lord Li Shun wandered into the night street last night, chartered ten singers to indulge in a night and didn't return all night, and found naked lying on the street this morning, after keeping it for a day, your reputation will resound in Xianyang again, and in a month, it will resound throughout the entire Daqin world......" Fu An patted Li Shun on the shoulder and joked.

"Well, don't ask for it, whether it's true or not, your reputation will be ruined, and I'm afraid you won't be able to see people in the future!" Li Shun's face turned red and he quickly shook his head.

"Hahahaha, Lord Li is so shy, could it be that he really went to the garden last night to recruit ten singers and didn't return all night?" A few others laughed together.

"No, no, I didn't stay up all night, I just got to the end of the night......"

"Bastard, you really went to the yard, how can you be worthy of Xiao Yun's hard work at home to help you take care of your mother and raise your foal?" Qiu Cheng was furious and reached out to grab Li Shun's ear.

"Ah, uncle spares his life, Shun doesn't dare anymore, yesterday was invited by several generals and officials who returned together, I can't shirk it!" Li Shun was pinched by his uncle in front of a room full of people and the Marquis of Qinghe, although Qiu Cheng was just an idle official with a Lang position, but he could only cover his ears and beg for mercy as a subordinate of the emperor's own imperial seal.

"Near Zhu is red, close to ink is black, just lived in the mansion and want to spoil his wife and concubine, those who feast on you are just to your liking, you and the old man said that you want to be a rich and noble husband who can't be lewd, your husband's ambition, hum!" Qiu Cheng shouted angrily.

Li Shun's face flushed with shame in an instant, and he bowed his head and didn't dare to speak.

"Brother Qiu, don't worry, it's not that you can't be a big husband when you go to the garden, let's hurry up and prepare the newspaper!" A group of people hurriedly pulled Qiu Cheng with all hands and feet.

Qiu Cheng also knew that this would make Li Shun lose face, so he let go of his hand after scolding a few words, and then said in a cold voice with some hatred: "Hou Ye wants the newspaper to arrange for reporters to go to the disaster area for interviews, you go home and prepare, and tomorrow the old man will also go with you, you have not been in Xianyang for the past two months to start the newspaper, and you have never heard Hou Ye's teachings, but you have to remember your own heart, you can't move the poor, you can't bend the might, and keep the morality with a benevolent heart, so that the Daqin Metropolis Daily can become a mouthpiece that can dominate Daqin's speech, and go out to see the suffering of the disaster victims, Don't forget your former poverty! ”

"Remember your uncle's teachings!" Li Shun could only frown and quickly admit his mistake.

After a bustle passed, the newspaper quickly regained its tranquility.

Just as Chen Xu was about to leave, An Yuliang came in a hurry with two students.

"It turns out that Yuliang Gong is also in the newspaper hall today, Xu is rude!" Chen Xu hurriedly bowed to An Yuliang.

"An Yuliang meets the Marquis of Qinghe!" After An Yuliang returned the salute, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Hou, I just heard that a flood broke out in Qi County and Dong County, which washed away millions of acres of grain fields, washed away people's houses, and drowned countless people and livestock. ”

"Yuliang Gong, please?"

"Your Majesty's edict has only known that Hou Ye is going to collect clothes in Xianyang and transport them to the disaster area, and there are dozens of young students in my Weihe College, who can only read and write all day long, and their limbs are not diligent and they do not distinguish between grains, so Lao Yu wants to arrange for them to contribute to the relief of the victims, and Hou Ye can arrange for them to help collect and sort out clothes, so that they can understand some down-to-earth work, so that they will not develop the temperament of only boasting!"

"Volunteers? Well, yes, yes, Yuliang Gong and I think it coincides, I am also going to call some scribes who can write and calculate to help, if Yuliang Gong's senior apprentices can help, it will be much easier, I will tell General Affairs Chen about this matter, tomorrow you let the students of Weihe College come directly to the newspaper to listen to the dispatch! Chen Xu nodded happily.

"Thank you, Master Hou!" Yulianggong's attitude is very serious.

There is no reason for a group of volunteers, Chen Xu is naturally very happy, after finding Chen Ping, he said about it, and asked him to arrange these students of Weihe College to help register tomorrow, and it is estimated that those students will not be able to get their arms and legs to carry goods, but even so, this is also a very good start, and so on in the future, schools across the country will be set up one after another, and students can be mobilized every year to do volunteer work in the entrance examination, which is also a very important means and method to exercise students' theory and practice. It's not all about cultivating a bunch of scholars who are high-eyed and low-handed, and can only talk about it.

Early the next morning, the new issue of Daqin Metropolis Daily was listed three days ahead of schedule.

Again, as in the past, the new newspaper was in a state of rush to sell.

Today's newspaper sales in addition to the newsboys who shout and sell along the street, but also in Xianyang City, several scribes and businessmen gathered in the area specially set up more than ten newspaper kiosks, one of which is set up at the door of the court hall, is the emperor's imperial approval, these newspaper kiosks are built with wood, the radius is only one zhang space, and the later generations of the newspaper kiosk is similar, but there is only one newspaper sold in the daily life, but with the continuous expansion of the printing house, the history of the museum and the bookstore and the emergence of hundreds of forum periodicals, In the future, there will be more and more books and magazines, and the content of these kiosks will become more and more abundant.

Reasonable guidance and healthy development are the original intentions of Chen Xu when he founded the newspaper.

The establishment of the History Museum is not only to take advantage of the abundant historical materials of the Great Qin Dynasty and facilitate the collection and sorting of them, and to collect and preserve some ancient historical collections scattered among the people in advance, but also to resolve some of the disciples who jump up and down.

The bookstore is also this plan, the Great Zhou is an era of unprecedented prosperity of Chinese civilization, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period until today's Great Qin, poems, books, scriptures, and subsets are the crystallization of the wisdom of the sages that have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, and the destruction and cutting off any of them is an important loss of Chinese civilization, not to mention that there are a large number of classics related to military, governance, farming, breeding, medical skills, calculations, music, art, literacy, divination, etc., which are not a series of knowledge. In the end, he achieved a Chinese pre-Qin library, and was able to properly preserve these books and materials and pass them on, Chen Xu believed that even if he crossed over to Daqin and did nothing, this incident would be enough for him to go down in history.

The reason why China has been able to be reborn again and again on the verge of war or even extinction is inseparable from these cultures that have been passed down through the ages.

The people of the world regard poetry as beauty, scripture as virtue, book as respect, and etiquette as the key link, forming the backbone of Chinese civilization, and inheriting it for thousands of years to achieve the belief that will never collapse.

Later generations say that the Chinese have no faith, but in fact, the faith of the Chinese is their ancestors.

They respect the dead, worship their ancestors, and take it as their duty not to disgrace their ancestors.

And this initial belief began with Great Qin.

Qin Shi Huang was able to roughly unify China, and the emperors of the Central Plains in later generations, no matter which dynasty or generation, must be on par with Qin Shi Huang, only the merit is greater than Qin Shi Huang, only the face to Feng Zen Mount Tai, only to have the face to worship the three emperors and five emperors to the ancestors, tell them that they have made meritorious contributions.

History since the Qin and descended, China has been inherited for more than 2,000 years, but there are only six emperors in total, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Tang Gaozong, Tang Xuanzong, Song Zhenzong, of which Song Zhenzong is only worshipping, and he has not been enshrined, because although he wants to, but he also has self-knowledge, as for the other emperors, they did not dare to worship Mount Tai at all, because no emperor will feel that he is better than Qin Emperor Han Wu.

Even Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who was as famous as Emperor Qin and Han Wu, had wanted to go to Mount Tai several times, but was stopped by the minister for various reasons, and he did not fulfill this wish until he died, and he was completely depressed to death.

And one of the most important signs of the development of civilization is the maturity and wide application of writing, the current Daqin, the scholars have formed a very large group, even the poor families may have literate people, and gradually formed a scholar class, so the newspaper this kind of fusion of hundreds of refreshing things has become a scholar and the reader people like things very much, almost a hundred scholars can find their own interest in each issue of the newspaper, and read the newspaper, It has gradually become an indispensable leisure and entertainment activity in the lives of officials, scholars and wealthy businessmen, a newspaper can be read over and over again for many days, and some people can even memorize the contents of the newspaper and debate and discuss it loudly with others in the Quyuan Miscellaneous House.

And this kind of debate and discussion activities have gradually become a very important means of communication between Baume & Mercier.

Those who do not read newspapers have been gradually excluded from the cultural circle.

Therefore, whenever a new issue of the newspaper is about to be released, there will be countless people queuing up early at the kiosks and mobile newspaper sales points in Xianyang City.

Although today's newspaper is on sale three days in advance, there are still people buying previous newspapers at the newspaper sales point, so the new newspaper suddenly arrived, which made these people almost nosebleeds with excitement, and almost everyone turned over their money bags to buy as much as they could.

And some gangsters who usually have nothing to do and wait near the newsstand, who usually help others run errands and queue up to buy and sell a few newspapers to make a little scalper and spare some pocket money, today they are also dazed by the sudden arrival of the new issue of the newspaper, 20 and 30 copies of the credit down to the mansions of those officials and doctors, and the managers of the mobile newsstands and newsstands are not afraid that they will not give money if they run away, and they will throw bundles to these scalpers to sell, because these people will add one or two dollars to the mansions of those doctors and ministers, and the rich people do not care. Because it is not these scalpers, they have to arrange a house slave to queue up each time, and sometimes the queue is not bought, which is far less convenient and fast than these scalpers.

Some businessmen who got up early and passed by found out about this situation, and they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, took out the gold cakes and bought them directly in hundreds of copies, and the ten-dollar newspaper may be sold for fifteen yuan when it changes hands later, because the merchant is more tyrant.

Sure enough, the news of the early launch of the new newspaper spread quickly, and countless people dressed in scribe clothes surged in from all directions.

The latest issue of the newspaper printed tens of thousands of copies overnight last night, but it was still not enough to sell as in the past, and it was sold out in less than half an hour.
