Chapter 307: Unexpected

Li Yu took the newspaper and looked at it.

This is today's daily newspaper, so what is reported is what happened yesterday.

Li Yu said while watching: "Yesterday's court meeting, Zuo Shence Lieutenant Dou Wenchang Zhishi, with Deputy Envoy Yang Zhilian as a lieutenant. It's in the newspaper today. And there is also a review of Dou Wenchang's officialdom's life, and an introduction to Yang Zhilian, as well as an introduction to this position. Chen Xu Jiedu made Shangguan say that he was a pawn, and his son-in-law Tian occasionally wanted to coerce his son to take his father's throne. The tooth general Wang Pei is also the son-in-law of Shangguan, and he knows his plan, so he uses it to sue the superintendent army for daily use, and uses it to capture him every day...... Yes, that's what has happened lately. In this way, the people who read the newspaper can understand the decisions of the imperial court, understand the decisions of the imperial court, and also know what the imperial court has done. And tomorrow, there will be tomorrow's daily newspaper, which will be reported for today's events, and this cycle will continue. ”

"Yes, exactly." Wei Renshi nodded.

Li Yu lowered his head and took the newspaper in his hand and continued to read it carefully, Wei Ren was really waiting for him to read it, and after a long time, Li Yu read the entire newspaper on both sides.

"When I look at this newspaper, it's not just what happened in the court yesterday, but also a few legendary stories, and some trivial things in Chang'an City, but it's very interesting to watch." Li Yu said to Xia Hongsheng, then pointed to an advertisement in the middle of the page, and asked: "The tea leaves among the plants and trees are in demand, is the food of Zhiweiju really as written here?" It looks like it tastes good, but you don't know if it's real or fake? ”

"Naturally, it's true." Wei Renshi said with a smile: "These businesses publish information about themselves in this newspaper, which is well known, and this is called advertising. Naturally, if a business wants to publish its own advertisement on it, it has to pay the agency that publishes the newspaper. ”

"This looks good, in this way, everyone knows what happened yesterday, and recently there are those good things in Chang'an, which is also excellent. If there is such a picture every day, and the content is different, it will look much more interesting than this difficult and obscure article! Li Yu nodded, and replied with great satisfaction: "There is not only an explanation of what happened in the dynasty, but also an interpretation of the government affairs...... It's all great to be able to make some extra money out of it! Not bad! Not bad! Now that I see the real thing, it is far beyond Lone's expectations! ”

Li Yu was very happy, and took the newspaper and flipped through it.

After a while, he was surprised again: "Wow! Who did these articles?! This article takes this year's drought in Guanzhong as an example, pointing directly to the root of the mutual isolation between the court and the people, which makes people sweat coldly! There is also this article, so brilliant, it is everyone's model! This article analyzes the situation around my Datang so thoroughly! This...... It's really beneficial to teach orphans! ”

Wei Renshi smiled and said nothing, and he didn't intend to tell him.

Li Yu didn't delve into it, turned it over again, looked at it for a while, and said, "Huh? This story is fascinating, but it is only half gone, which makes people itch. ”

"A newspaper has limited space, so it can only be published once a day." Wei Renshi replied.

Li Yu nodded and said, "This newspaper is even more useful than Gu expected, and it is more interesting. In the past few days, I took it to my father to see. It's just that I have to work hard for Wei County, and the newspaper must be delivered in time during this time. ”

"The minister's wishes." Wei Ren gave a salute.

"By the way, I heard Chun'er say that you and he will pay your own money to Youjin Wuwei every month to buy his food." Li Yu asked again.

Wei Renshi replied, "Exactly." The right Jinwu guards are now inferior to the Divine Commanders, and the only one who has a strong body is because he can't fill his stomach every day. And the soldiers of the Right Jinwu Guard train hard every day, and the King of Guangling County and Weichen are in the Right Jinwu Guard, and they all feel sorry for this. So they discussed, and together they paid for the construction of a canteen for the soldiers of the Right Jin Wuwei, and arranged according to the needs of the food that could make people strong, so that the soldiers of the Right Jin Wu Wei could not only eat enough every day, but also eat well, so as to cope with the consumption of training and strengthen their bodies. ”

"Lone heard that this canteen is quite innovative, if you have time, Lone will go over to have a look." Li Yu said: "I heard Chun'er say, just the food of 10,000 people needs to be as much as a thousand in a month? ”

"Back to Your Highness, this is to make the soldiers of the Right Jin Wuwei immediately strengthen their bodies, so they have specially added other things. If it were plain, the cost would not be so huge. If it is to be promoted, it must have its own set of supplier numbers, and the price can be lower. It seems that the number of people like Youjin Wuwei should be able to be controlled within 1,000 by then. Wei Renshi replied: "It's just that the imperial court is still unaffordable at the moment, but with the increase in the imperial court's income, it will not be a problem." Therefore, the fundamental thing is to increase the income of the imperial court. ”

This goes back to what was said before, the imperial court must strengthen itself, so that the feudal towns do not dare to have chaos. Take back the right to tax revenue from the feudal towns, right? Li Yu answered.

Wei Renshi nodded, this was said before.

"This alone is not enough...... Wei Renshi paused, and then said tentatively: "In fact, if you cooperate with the appropriate commercial tax law, the commercial tax will be much more than the agricultural tax......

"Let's take it one step at a time." Li Yu raised his hand and waved, and said: "The change in the tax system has always been related to the danger of the imperial court, and it must not be moved lightly. ”

Wei Renshi nodded and said no more. It's too early to say that.

At the very least, it will be necessary to wait until the court itself is strong enough, strong enough that the courtiers and the feudal towns will not dare to have two hearts even if they are unwilling.

The solution of all problems is rooted in the strength of the imperial court itself, which is also rooted in two points, that is, the money and grain wealth in the hands of the imperial court and the army in the hands of the imperial court.

Everything Wei Renshi has done is in the service of these two root points.

After retiring from the East Palace, Wei Renshi prepared to return home and start preparing for tomorrow's content.

It's a busy job.

However, as soon as he arrived at the door, he happened to see a palace guard waiting to turn around and leave.

Immediately, he hurriedly got out of the carriage and stopped the guards.

"I'm waiting to find General Wei elsewhere!" The palace guards saluted and said, "Pass on Your Majesty's message, summon the right Jinwu Wei Zhonglang general Wei Renshi to meet you!" ”

With the addition of salutation, this is a very formal summons, and it is usually only so formal when discussing business.

He immediately saluted and said, "The minister's decree." ”

Then he said to the guard, "Let's go." ”
