Chapter 645 Li Shimin is very worried that the court is rich because he is competing with the people for profit, and Qin Huaidao really knows in his heart that it is not competing with the people for profit at all, because business is now developed, and many places need to hire people to work,

Moreover, the income of the people in Chang'an City has obviously increased, because there are many workshops employing people, and now there are universities, and a large number of students rent and eat, all of which are consumed, and even the eggs of those people in Qinzhuang are now very good.

Moreover, Qin Huaidao employs a lot of people at the cargo stations in various places, and hires them to carry goods at the cargo stations.

After Qin Huaidao sat on Li Shimin's side for a while, he went back with melon seeds, Qin Huaidao wanted to go to dry, and wanted to get a greenhouse watermelon, anyway, there were still a few greenhouses in his garden, Qin Huaidao planned to build a few more greenhouses,

This winter, not only will greenhouses be added to Qinhuaidao's mansion, but also those Guogong mansions will build greenhouses, and they all hope to eat some fresh vegetables in winter.

Qin Huaidao returned to the house, explained to his subordinates, dried those melon seeds well, and went to the study to read.

The next day, Li Shimin said about the construction of the official residence, and finally passed, the new 500 official residences, it is best for Li Daliang to bargain, only willing to pay one-third of the money, the rest of the money, the Ministry of Civil Affairs from the side,

In the afternoon, the Ministry of Industry sent officials to measure the land and plan those houses, anyway, those official residences have models, and 100 official residences were built before, and now they only need to be built according to those drawings.

Within a few days, the construction began, and the Ministry of Industry hired thousands of people to work, hoping to build all the houses before the winter, so that the officials could move in in the winter.

And Qin Huaidao began to discuss the newspaper with Kong Yingda in the house, and the court had already discussed it, and the general person in charge of the Datang Daily was Kong Yingda.

"Well, the first page is mainly about the major events that happened in the court, such as this time, the Ministry of Industry wants to build a new official residence, which can be reported, and because it is the first issue, I suggest that Your Majesty write an article, that is, to talk about blessings to the people of the Tang Dynasty and the like,

In the second section, I suggest reporting on some affairs in various departments, such as the military department's battle in Tibet, some heroic deeds can be reported, in addition, such as the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is preparing to adjust the peasants' taxes this time, and reduce the peasants' taxes by one percent, which is being discussed, and can also be sent out.

The third is to report some good phenomena of Datang, such as the straight road from Chang'an to Luoyang, these are okay, positive ones can be reported, negative ones, or need to consider the impact, you can ask Your Majesty,

For example, a director of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who has just been seized has embezzled 4,000 yuan, which can also be reported to let the people of the whole country know that I Datang does not allow officials to be corrupt, and once caught, it will be dealt with seriously.

This time, the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs may be beheaded after the autumn, and his family will also be reinforced! Of course, this question still needs to be asked by His Majesty. Qin Huaidao asked Kong Yingda.

"Well, okay, but I have a few reports here, you can see if it's okay, one is about the grand occasion of the university, and the other is that the Datang Workshop is the majority, they are discussing whether Datang is going to be business-oriented?" Kong Yingda took out a few articles and handed them to Qin Huaidao.

"Mercantilism? This does not exist, Datang is not a heavy business, Datang attaches importance to any identity, businessmen, craftsmen, farmers, scholars, and the so-called Shinong industry and commerce, all attach importance to it! Qin Huaidao hadn't read the chapter yet, so he felt that this article was here to stir up trouble, so he said to him.

"Yes, but, now there is this discussion among the people, saying that the Tang Dynasty is now beginning to pay attention to businessmen, some scholars, think that this is very inappropriate, businessmen seek profits, and may abandon the law and ignore it, so it is time for this article to be sent, and the old man is still very hesitant!" Kong Yingda said to Qin Huaidao.

"Who wrote it?" Qin Huaidao looked at the back as he spoke, and found that it was actually written by the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Zhao Guogong wrote it, didn't Your Majesty say it? To open a discussion page to discuss the government, that is, everyone can write any remarks, as for whether to use it or not, this must be reviewed! What does Hu Guogong think of this article? Kong Yingda looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"Does Father see it?" Qin Huaidao looked at Kong Yingda and asked.

"I've seen it, and I said I want you to decide!" Kong Yingda stared at Qin Huaidao and said.

"Then send it, however, I will also make a comment to discuss the identity of my so-called Shinong industry and commerce in Datang, Datang, there is no stratification, as long as it is my Datang people, it is the same, Datang will attach importance to it, regardless of these!" Qin Huaidao said to Kong Yingda.

"Okay, the old man also wants to read the article written by Hu Guogong!" Kong Yingda looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile and said.

"When will the first issue be released?" Qin Huaidao asked.

"The plan is that three days later, we have already docked with the printing house, according to the regulations, the first issue of the newspaper to ensure that each county has a copy, and in the later stage, it will be distributed by order, and each county will count how much to order! According to Hu Guogong's suggestion, anyone can order it, and one issue costs a penny. Kong Yingda sat there and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Well, didn't you take the advertisement?" Kong Yingda asked.

"No, according to what you said, the last half of the page can do some advertising, and after the advertising income is stable, you only need five cents to order a newspaper for a year in the future, and the rest of the income depends on advertising to make up for it." Kong Yingda spoke.

"In this way, several workshops of the Ministry of Industry advertised this time, one is a leather bag workshop, one is a wool workshop, and a porcelain workshop, I will let those responsible persons talk to you, well, a quarter's advertising cost, 60 yuan, control 100 words, is one-sixteenth of half of the board!" Qin Huaidao opened his mouth and spoke.

"This, according to what you said, isn't that a month's advertising revenue of 320 yuan, which is a lot in a year!" Kong Yingda spoke.

"Well, now it's 20 yuan, and in the future, you need to bid, you need to bid once a quarter, and the reserve price is 20 yuan.

You know, this newspaper, there must be a large number of people ordering, if the order exceeds 10,000 copies, have you thought about it, how much does it cost per issue? Qin Huaidao looked at Kong Yingda and asked.

"Well, I don't know about this yet!" Kong Yingda shook his head and said.

"The cost of paper will be more than 40 yuan, and the cost of printing will be more than 20 yuan, and one issue is 60 yuan, and 77 issues a year is nearly 5,000 yuan.

In addition, those who write articles, do they need manuscript fees, and newspaper staff, they also need money, according to the standard I set, as long as the article is adopted, it costs a penny for 100 words, and it is estimated that it will cost hundreds of pennies for an issue, which is a small amount of money.

The key is that we need to make the daily newspaper financially independent, and it doesn't need to take subsidies from the court, or even give money to the court.

So, according to this pricing, in addition, my Qinjia dim sum workshop, flower water workshop, cargo station will also set three months of advertising, when the time comes, I will let people send money over, if other merchants also advertise, you can also, according to this standard, three months later, start bidding! Qin Huaidao said to Kong Yingda, Kong Yingda heard it and nodded,

After Kong Yingda left, Qin Huaidao returned to the study and began to write articles, facing the eldest grandson Wuji, he actually said that it was wrong to focus on business.

And Qin Huaidao did not mention business, but mentioned, so the people of the Tang Dynasty are equal in identity, as long as they don't break the law,

Three days later, the first issue of the newspaper came out, and not only was it distributed by various state capitals, but Qin Huaidao and almost all of them, the officials in the capital, would order a copy.

The first issue was printed 3,000 copies, more, it was sold in bookstores, about 1,000 copies were left, and they were bought out on the first day.

There was no way, the court stepped up printing another 1,000 copies, and the next morning, it was swept away, and another 2,000 copies were printed in the afternoon, and they were sold out the next morning.

Originally, Kong Yingda still wanted to print it, but Qin Huaidao asked him not to print it, and just print 10,000 copies directly in the next issue.

And at this moment, in the court, they are all discussing the two articles of Qin Huaidao and the eldest grandson Wuji, and many officials support Qin Huaidao,

And some officials from the poor family supported Qin Huaidao instead, not to mention those businessmen, they also supported Qin Huaidao,

There are even some businessmen who hire some readers to write articles and send them to newly established newspapers, hoping to publish them.

"The eldest grandson Wuji, this old horseman, is too much, what's wrong with us businessmen, we businessmen don't make money with our own hands? How is it that he is a lowly person? Without us merchants, would the things that his eldest grandson Wuji used in his household all make by himself? ”

"Shh

"I'm just not convinced! His family has no property, his family has a cloth workshop, is he a businessman, his family still has a restaurant, is he a businessman? He can be a businessman, but we can't? ”...

"The eldest grandson Wuji, a hypocrite, actually said that we businessmen are lowly professions and profit-seeking? His eldest grandson Wuji does not pursue profits, and we are all small profits in pursuit of profits, what about him? His family owns a lot of industries, and there are thousands of acres of fertile land, what is he? Is it a businessman? Isn't it a businessman's act that he sells that grain? ”...

Many businessmen were very annoyed when they saw the article of the eldest grandson Wuji, they simply looked down on people, or they were comfortable reading Qin Huaidao's article, they were businessmen, they didn't break the law, why can't they be businessmen?

I didn't steal, I didn't rob, and I didn't cheat people, why do you say that you are a cheap person? And the eldest grandson Wuji was also sitting at home, reading the newspaper.

"Nonsense, businessmen seek profit, there has been a training since ancient times, and the law can regulate good businessmen? It's just that he, Qin Huai, has so many industries, so he is on the side of the merchants. After reading Qin Huaidao's article, the eldest grandson Wuji said very unhappily.
