Half an hour later, under the protection of thousands of forbidden troops and three hundred Xuanwu guards, Chen Xu accompanied Qin Shi Huang to the Academy of Sciences in a six-horse carriage of the Son of Heaven.

Hundreds of officials and craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences all cheered and cheered.

After the Academy of Sciences delivered an enthusiastic speech, under the guidance of Chen Xu, Qin Shi Huang came to the newspaper next door.

More than 100 people in the newspaper hall also lined up neatly to greet them, and Chen Xu also introduced a group of famous people from all over the Fang family such as Chen Ping, Qiu Cheng, Fu An, and Ji Tong by the way, and Qin Shi Huang was also very happy to encourage them, and immediately choked up with excitement for Fu Anqiu Cheng, who had stayed in Xianyang for many years and had not had the opportunity to be received by Qin Shi Huang.

Still followed the Qinghe Hou happily, it was only half a month after coming to the newspaper hall, and the Hou Ye actually invited the emperor to his front to introduce him personally, and few people in the entire Daqin had enjoyed this honor.

In the newspaper hall, Chen Xu took Qin Shi Huang to carefully tell the general affairs room, editing room, typesetting room and printing room next to each other, and Qin Shi Huang also personally completed a few small poems with great interest according to the typesetting of a poetry book, and then under the guidance of several craftsmen who were unable to stand on their feet in excitement, he personally brushed ink and printed a few pages of finished products.

"Good, good! This movable type printing can be called a magical technique, and many books can be quickly arranged and printed in the future, I am very happy, and I will intend to appreciate the ten tilts of the Qing River Hou Liangtian, one hundred thousand dollars, and twenty silk silk horses......"

As soon as Qin Shi Huang was happy, he began to distribute rewards again, and rewarded Chen Xu with a lot of things, which made Chen Xu cry and laugh.

I haven't gotten the houses and grain fields outside the city last time, and I have rewarded ten good fields, where can I find someone to farm, and what do I want so many fields for?

However, the world belongs to Qin Shi Huang, he can reward whatever he wants, and Chen Xu can only accept it obediently.

And after rewarding the greatest hero Chen Xu, Qin Shi Huang naturally did not forget a group of gangsters in the cultural world who followed Chen Xu, Chen Ping, Fu An, Qiu Cheng, Ji Tong and other editors-in-chief and editors and managers all rewarded a Lang position, although the current Lang positions are all sesame officials with no power in the nine grades, but these are real official treatment with official ranks, and you can wear the official uniform of Lang Rank, which can be regarded as officially entering the scholar class.

Half an hour later, Qin Shi Huang left the newspaper and returned to the palace.

And watching the neat forbidden army all kick and kick away, a burst of enthusiastic cheers instantly sounded in the newspaper hall.

In addition to the promotion of a group of people, the following typesetting clerks, printers, and helpers were all rewarded with money, and the little was 500 yuan, which was also a lot of income for ordinary families.

"Master Hou, does Your Majesty mean that we can start printing a large number of newspapers and selling them right now?" The editor-in-chief, Qiu Cheng, was excited.

"Don't worry, tomorrow I want to go to the court to participate in the court meeting, you quickly collect all the newspapers in your hands and sort them out, tomorrow I will take the court to let the six provincial departments and the minister doctor take a look!" Chen Xu shook his head.

"Master Hou, I want to keep this first newspaper as a souvenir!" Many people are a little reluctant.

"Then print another 200 copies immediately, but remember, these newspapers can't be circulated at the moment, and some things may need to be revised after tomorrow's court, and once they are approved by the court, it will be the day when the newspaper will make a fortune!"

"Hahahaha, get rich~" A burst of cheers instantly sounded in the newspaper hall again.

Because whether it is Xianyang or the whole Daqin, those who can read and write are basically not too poor people, although there are Qiu Chengjitong and others who are very down-and-out in Xianyang, but after all, they are still cultural people, and they can still earn some money on weekdays to help with some miscellaneous things such as copying documents at the house of some ministers and doctors, and they can still earn some money, and it is not a problem to mix food and clothing, as long as they don't spend a lot of money all day long in the Quyuan Miscellaneous House to drink and have fun, they can still live so-so, but unfortunately these people have some small money in their hands and take it to drink and entertain. Therefore, poverty has become a norm.

Chen Xu asked Qiu Cheng and other individuals, the retail price of this newspaper will definitely be sold crazy for ten yuan, there are tens of thousands of Fang family warlocks in Xianyang alone, not including literate businessmen and noble ministers, there is definitely no big problem for a newspaper to sell 30,000 copies in Xianyang, and 30,000 copies is 300,000 yuan, the cost of planing paper and ink, etc., each copy earns at least six or seven yuan, this speed of making money can scare the vast majority of wealthy businessmen in Daqin, and these newspapers will soon spread to counties and counties across the country, and the circulation of 100,000 copies of an issue is estimated to be not enough to buy.

Therefore, all the people in the newspaper are worried about is the speed of papermaking in the paper mill outside the city, and then the speed of printing, if 100,000 copies are completed by such a small printing room, it will definitely not be possible, and the four printing stations will not eat or drink without stopping, and it is estimated that only about 3,000 copies can be printed a day, and 100,000 copies will have to be printed for a month, so it has become a top priority to prepare a large printing house.

However, as the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, everything has to be done step by step, Chen Xu's most important thing at the moment is to get the monetary reform and the money village things done, to support the development of industry and commerce of the basic financial services first, and so the initial industrial system is built, business is released, agriculture will get enough support, when a large amount of money begins to flow to the hands of poor farmers, farmers will also have the ability to buy new farm tools, build houses, buy household goods, raise livestock, this is a linkage process.

Early the next morning, Chen Xu finished breakfast, packed up and took the bundled 200 newspapers to the court.

And today, the ministers of the last dynasty also came more neatly, and the officials of the three provinces, six ministries and more than three grades basically did not pull all of them, when Chen Xu walked into the court hall, the hall was almost full, watching the two confessors carry a large bundle of hemp pulp paper and follow Chen Xu in, and the eyes of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty fell on Chen Xu.

"Marquis Qinghe, why did you bring such a big bundle of hemp pulp paper to the court?" Li Si, who was sitting closest to him, stroked his beard curiously and said hello.

"Hey, hey, here's my recital for today!" Chen Xu laughed dryly.

Ga~, Li Si shook his hand and pulled off a few whiskers, his face trembled a few times and said, "Such as ...... With so many movements, isn't Qinghe Hou Mo playing tricks on the old man? ”

"Li Xiang don't be nervous, these pieces don't need to be reviewed by you, you'll know ...... in a moment"

"Your Majesty is in court~" With a long shout from the apse, Chen Xu also hurriedly stopped, with the sound of chairs colliding, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty stood up, and then saw Qin Shi Huang striding out of the apse as he did every day, accompanied by palace people and guards.

"Greetings to Your Majesty~"

"All Aiqing, please sit down~" Qin Shi Huang walked to the front of the dragon chair, and after his eyes swept the entire hall, he sat down with his big sleeves swinging.

"A few days ago, many Aiqing mentioned Huaxia Qianzhuang, yesterday I also discussed with Qinghe Hou about Qianzhuang, Qinghe Hou gave me a letter to implement currency reform, I feel that currency reform and the development of Qianzhuang are very important to the stability of our Great Qin Society, so I asked Qinghe Hou to discuss this matter today." Qin Shi Huang's demeanor was majestic, but his tone of voice was calm and indifferent.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what currency reform is?" Li Si, who was sitting below Chen Xu, was the first to stand up.

As the left minister of Daqin, he is also the leader of Zhongshu Province, and the reform and promulgation of decrees have always been his crops on one acre and three points of land, but now Chen Xu inexplicably came up with a new reform measure, and it is related to money as soon as he hears it, so Li Si must stand up and ask questions.

"Jiang Fu Ling, give this monetary theory to Li Xiang to read!" Qin Shi Huang took out a thin book from his sleeve and gave it to Jiang Heng, who was standing next to him.

"Huh~" Jiang Heng took the book with both hands, walked down the nine steps and handed the book to Li Si.

Although Li Si was confused, he hurriedly looked through it after taking it, and soon showed a surprised expression on his face.

"Feng Xiang also take a look!" Qin Shi Huang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, spoke.

The content is not much, only seven or eight pages, so Li Si quickly finished reading it, and then handed the book to Feng Quji with a serious face, Feng Quji quickly finished reading it, his face was similar to Li Si, but he was more surprised, and he glanced at Chen Xu when he closed the book.

"After reading it, what do you think of Qinghehou's monetary reform?" Qin Shi Huang asked lightly.

"Your Majesty, about the coin reform, the minister has actually been this for a long time, but he is only worried about the problem of private coinage, so it has not been played, if the private coins cannot be eliminated, then this kind of currency reform will only exacerbate the transfer of wealth to copper and iron merchants, but the Qinghe Marquis's book mentions that copper smelting and coinage will be under the jurisdiction of Shaofu, and now the rapid development of steel smelting, a few years will inevitably replace copper, so the minister thinks it can be implemented!" Li Si bowed and replied.

"The minister also thought that he could carry out currency reform! Since the pacification of Qi three years ago, as the same today, but the coins of the countries are not completely unified, in addition to half a tael, there are now a large number of currencies of the six countries in circulation, which has produced a lot of confusion, moreover, grain and cloth because of the difficulty of transportation and storage, and the cost is very large, a large number of merchants have already begun to abandon the grain cloth to use gold and copper trading, so the minister believes that it is necessary to carry out a strict regulation, the currency reform proposed by the Marquis of Qinghe does conform to the general trend, the right time, the minister agrees! Feng Quji also replied loudly.

"Very good, since the two prime ministers agree, then today's court will discuss this matter properly and formulate a decree to implement it as soon as possible, I also think that the currency reform is imminent!" Qin Shi Huang nodded.

Chen Xu stood up with a sigh of relief, and bowed his hands to Li Si and Feng Quji: "Thank you for the support of the two prime ministers, Xu also believes that the monetary reform is imperative, so today is throwing bricks and stones, and many of the details and laws still need the cooperation of the adults of the three provinces and six ministries!" ”

"Where our duty lies, we will do our best!" Li Si and Feng Quji both bowed their hands slightly to Chen Xu.

Since the two prime ministers supported it, Qin Shi Huang asked Jiang Heng to read the full text of the monetary theory aloud above the court, so that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also knew the content of the currency reform proposed by Chen Xu......

Chen Xu sat on the bearskin chair, his face twitching.

Nima is so shameless, although he knows that most of the people are in the top Feng Quji and Li Si, but many of them are too explicit, and those who listen to it have goosebumps all over their bodies.

But obviously, Li Si and Feng Quji, the two prime ministers who have been trained in the court for a long time, have a face that is about the same thickness as the wall of Xianyang City, and their faces do not change their faces and their hearts do not beat, and they must get some benefits for their respective camps from the currency reform.
