People will always grow up, when I was a child, I read Jin Yong, and I always wanted to become a hero with martial arts like Guo Jing and Yang Guo.

When you grow up, you will find that Wei Xiaobao is actually the real winner in life.

Looking for a paradise, spend the rest of your life with your wife and concubine, what more can you ask for in life?

"Wei Xiaobao......" Tang Yaoyao squinted his eyes and looked at him, and asked, "Then you also plan to marry seven ladies like him?" ”

"Not really." Tang Ning shook his head and said, "I'm very satisfied now." ”

Tang Yaoyao looked at him with satisfaction, and after thinking about it carefully, his expression became dissatisfied again.

Tang Ning didn't know what Tang Yaoyao's little head was thinking all day long, changing his face as fast as flipping a book, he walked in and asked him a question, and after getting his answer, he was a little happy at first, and then walked away angrily......

He shook his head, woman, there is another name for contradiction......

He walked out of the room and told Qing'er to help him prepare the bath water, and after taking the bath, he had to go over to discuss with Tang Yaoyao about the publicity and warm-up of the Sixteen Wei Dabi.

……

Since the sixth day of the first lunar month of winter, Tang Renzhai, the largest bookstore in Beijing, has begun to publish something called "newspaper".

This kind of "newspaper" is different from books, with only a thin page, but it is several times the size of ordinary books.

The bibliography of the books to be published in the near future of Tang Renzhai occupies 20% of the page, and the recruitment notices of many stores under the Tang Dynasty occupy nearly 30%, and the remaining two pages are a brief introduction to the origin of the 16 Wei, as well as their respective responsibilities, and attach the ranking of the 16 Wei Xiaobi ten years ago.

The newspaper was very inexpensive for a penny, and 1,000 copies were printed on the first day, and it was sold out within half an hour.

Only a small number of people are interested in the publication list of Tang Renzhai and the recruitment notice, but the introduction and ranking of the Sixteen Guards have attracted the attention of many people.

The quadrennial Sixteen Guards Contest is about to begin, and many people have been eyeing this major event, but they don't know much about the strength of the Sixteen Guards, and the newspaper published by Tang Renzhai just provides them with a reference.

The people didn't know much about the Sixteen Guards before, but this newspaper made them realize that the reason why the people of Beijing lived a stable life was because of these people guarding them.

Tang Yaoyao walked out of Tang Renzhai, looked at Tang Ning and asked, "This kind of newspaper can't make any money, why do you spend so much effort to do it?" ”

Tang Ning smiled and said, "I can't explain it for a while, anyway, you just wait to collect the money." ”

Tang Fairy naturally does not understand the importance of public opinion, Tang Ning deliberately kept the price of the newspaper to the minimum, and the profit was only equal to the cost, although it was not profitable, but it could ensure that any ordinary person could buy it, even if they only bought one copy and circulated it to each other, his goal was achieved.

In just a few days, the matter of the 16 guards has become a hot topic of discussion among the whole people, after that, Tang Renzhai will use a special page every day to introduce the 16 Wei, after the game starts, a sign will be erected at the door of Tang Renzhai, and the points and rankings will be updated at any time until the end of the competition.

After Dabi, the people were almost accustomed to the existence of newspapers, and then they focused on the major news that happened in Beijing or China, and the people of Beijing had a very high sense of national identity and pride, and were very concerned about this kind of thing.

In addition, the Xiaocai Battalion has begun to build the site, in fact, the main task is to enclose the land, the amount of work is not large, and it can be put into use in a month.

Now for Tang Ning, the most difficult thing is how to persuade Emperor Chen to agree to him to sell tickets, he can't decide this matter privately, he wrote an excerpt yesterday and handed it over, and there is no news so far.

He took a break today, and walked around the shop with Tang Yaoyao, and just when he got home, he saw Ling Yun standing in the courtyard, saw him come in, and stepped forward and said, "Lord Tang, Your Majesty announced that you have entered the palace." ”

Emperor Chen announced his entry into the palace this time, and what he was talking about should be the matter of the Sixteen Wei Dabi tickets.

Tang Ning got into the carriage, and Ling Yun rode a horse in front.

The Ling family is also a family of military generals, and if you really count it, it should be the most prominent general in Beijing today.

Ling Yun is not much older than Lu Teng and Xiao Jue, but he is already a general of Yulinwei, often with Emperor Chen, and the Ling family is not like the Lu family, which took the civil official route halfway, the current head of the Ling family, that is, Ling Yun's father, is the general of Jin Yuwei, and the other heirs are not in Beijing, but accumulate military exploits on the border.

When Tang Ning was about to enter the carriage, he saw the rich man Tang coming out of his house, and he couldn't pretend not to see it, so he raised his hand and greeted him, "Uncle Tang is good." ”

Tang Ji didn't want to say hello to Tang Ning, but since he spoke, he had no choice but to wave his hand and ask casually, "Where is this going?" ”

The rich man of Tang would actually talk to him, which was beyond Tang Ning's expectations, and he was stunned before he said, "Your Majesty summoned you." ”

Tang Ji's gaze stayed on Ling Yun's face for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Who is this?" ”

Tang Ning introduced: "Lingyun Ling is the commander. ”

Ling Yun looked at him and said, "Lord Tang, it's time for us to go, don't let Your Majesty wait." ”

Tang Ning waved his hand to the rich man Tang again and said, "Goodbye, Uncle Tang." ”

Tang Ji stood in place, watching the carriage disappear and stand for a long time.

The butler behind him stepped forward and whispered, "Master, aren't you going to the Red Sleeve Pavilion?" ”

Tang Ji's heart was a little disturbed, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go." ”

……

In the Imperial Study.

Chen Huang took a newspaper in his hand and said, "The newspaper is fresh, but if it is only sold for a penny, I am afraid that he will not even be able to earn back the capital, so he will not lose?" ”

He put down the newspaper and said: "Good Sixteen Wei Dabi, what kind of tickets are sold, and it is already a special case to let businessmen participate, and I still want to make a profit from it, I want to see how he explains it to me." ”

Not long after his words fell, a eunuch stepped forward to report that Tang Ning had arrived.

Emperor Chen looked over and said, "Let him in." ”

Tang Ning walked into the main hall, bowed his hand, and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "Sixteen Wei Dabi, how are the preparations?" ”

Tang Ning said: "Back to Your Majesty, everything is going on in an orderly manner. ”

Chen Huang spoke again: "Then you and I explain and explain, what is the matter with the ticket for this big competition?" ”

Tang Ning had been preparing for this question before he came, and when he heard this, he said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows that the silver in the treasury is not easy to come by, and there are too many places where silver is needed......

Sixteen guards every year a small ratio, four years a large ratio, the cost is very much, but compared with disaster relief, fight against foreign enemies, protect the territory and the people, it is really a trivial thing, the minister did not dare to increase the pressure on the treasury, so the minister tried to persuade the rich businessmen in Beijing to donate two silver to prepare for the big ratio, saving silver for the treasury, and thought that he could sell the big than tickets, and the income of thirty percent went to the military department, three percent went to the treasury, and the rest was given back to the businessmen who were preparing for it, and it also seemed that the court was sympathetic......

If you want to convince others, it is best to take the interests of others as the starting point, and say that I am doing all this for your own good, of course, before that, you must first understand what the other person needs, what ...... like, this is called doing what they like.

According to Tang Ning's understanding of Emperor Chen, he can lower the bottom line once for the sake of silver, and he can lower it a second time, and he is not for his own interests, but from the perspective of the imperial court, the treasury, and Emperor Chen, representing selfless justice.

The money was already in front of him, and the question was whether he wanted to do it or not.

Who would have trouble with silver, even if he was the emperor......

Tang Ning raised his head and looked, judging from Emperor Chen's somewhat moved expression, he guessed correctly this time, and it was very likely that he didn't need to bargain.
