Chapter 128: The newspaper opens

The seventh day of the Lunar New Year has arrived!

Li Yu bit into the delicious venison pancakes specially made by Wang Bo and drank the cabbage soup with pork blood meatballs. www.biquge.info In addition to being happy, I secretly thought that the northerners in Datang could only chew ordinary pancakes all day today, and the southerners boiled seven kinds of vegetables together and made a bowl of vegetable soup made of soft soup to drink.

If he hadn't built a greenhouse three years ago, Li Yu wouldn't have been able to eat cabbage soup in the winter. It's just that a greenhouse is created, and it is inevitable that it will be beaten up every winter.

Not to mention the consumption in the three brothers' mansions, since the greenhouse of the Yan Wangfu came out, even the vegetables in the Daming Palace have been changed to the Yan Wangfu supply, and the father and queen mother borrowed flowers to offer Buddha to reward the minister. The demand is huge, but Li Yu didn't make a penny, and it was unlucky enough to think about it.

Fortunately, there are many wealthy people in Chang'an, and Li Yu has more out-of-season vegetables grown in greenhouses to sell on the market, which finally solves the problem of making ends meet and becomes an industry for Li Yu in winter.

Xin'er walked into the room with a smile, "Jun Xun, today is the first issue of the Royal Weekly Newspaper, are we going to read it?" ”

"Go, definitely!"

Li Yu stuffed the pancakes into his mouth in a few bites, drank the milk in the cup in one go, and stepped forward to take Xin'er's weak little hand and beckoned the guards to go out.

The northerners of the Tang Dynasty also drank milk and ate cheese, unlike the Han people who did not drink milk and ate cheese in ancient times, as later generations understood. From modern archaeology alone, it has been found that the Tang Dynasty's physique was no worse than that of modern people, and even because of the prevalence of martial arts in society, it was stronger than modern people.

Royal Weekly officially opened in Pingkangfang on Renri, and the address was also selected next to the Northeast Sanqu where Pingkangfang courtesans lived, and the whole Chang'an was the place with the largest flow of people outside the east and west markets, and it was also the place with the highest quality of people.

Pyongkangbo itself is the place where the powerful people of the DPRK and China and the local office in the central government "Di" gather. The mansions of the British princes of this dynasty, Li Ji, Xu Jingzong, and later Princess Taiping, Li Yifu and other powerful figures are all in Pingkangfang. In addition, it is also a gathering place for people from all over the country to enter Beijing.

It can be said that there are no ordinary people living in Pingkangfang. Because of the location of Sanqu, it has also become the most prosperous and luxurious place outside the east and west cities of Chang'an, a place for hunting beauty!

Li Yu put the Royal Weekly in the place where he must pass through the three songs, which can be described as unique!

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers......"

"Royal Weekly opens today, publishes the first issue of the newspaper, learns about the world's events, tastes poetry, and comes to buy a newspaper......"

Dozens of teenagers, holding newspapers in their hands, were selling newspapers in their hands in the streets and alleys of Chang'an, in the eastern and western markets, and near the city gates with large crowds.

Out of curiosity, from time to time, passers-by stopped to ask for the price and took out five copper plates to buy a newspaper.

The Royal Weekly occupies a courtyard with a three-story attic on the small cross street where the Sanqu of Pingkangfang is located, and to the north is the Sanqu loved by the literati.

At this time, a stage full of colorful flowers was set up in front of the courtyard gate, and the courtesans who were found from the three songs were performing songs and dances on the stage, attracting a large number of people to stop and watch.

Because today is the day of the people, everyone still wears ornaments in the shape of various flowers and plants made of silk fabrics, paper, and gold leaf jade pieces - Caisheng. When a group of people gather together, it is a scene of rouge and crimson.

The newspaper boy shuttled through the crowd to peddle newspapers, and dozens of newspapers in his hands were sold out in the blink of an eye, and then rushed back to the courtyard to get the newspapers.

"I didn't expect that in the last year, Anton would break out such a big war!"

"The Silla barbarians actually have a heart of disobedience, intending to take away the land of the Tang Dynasty, and should be punished. It's a pity that King Yan signed an armistice treaty with Silla! ”

"This poem "Crossing the Yalu Water and Determining Andong" is good, and the poem writes about the ambition of my Tang Dynasty athletes to protect their families and defend the country and conquer the barbarians. Well? Written by Li Yu, who is this Li Yu? ”

"Ignorant, Li Yu is the current King of Yan!" The people around him despise the doubters!

"I just came to Chang'an!" The questioner lowered his head in shame to hide his embarrassment.

With the discontinuation of the newspaper, the Royal Weekly gradually became known to the people of Chang'an.

Coupled with the lack of information sources in this era, even the powerful people in Chang'an don't know much about what happened in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, let alone ordinary people, and they may not even know what happened in Chang'an City recently.

The first issue of the Royal Weekly was very extensive.

There are recent major political events in the imperial court, a year-long account of the military affairs of Andong, reports of disasters in more than 40 prefectures and counties last year, poems written by Li Yu, the crown prince, and King Pei of Yan, as well as reports on the prices of prices in Chang'an.

People from all walks of life in Chang'an can find what they want to know in the newspaper.

Because he was a scholar and literati in Beijing who wanted to serve the wealthy and powerful, and was waiting to participate in the scientific expedition, his eyes lit up when he heard the slogan of the newspaper boy's propaganda and bought a copy out of curiosity. Looking at the people around me who spent five copper coins to buy a newspaper, it seemed that their hearts were pounding.

Tired and tired, he took his proud work and submitted poems and articles to the wealthy and powerful people in Beijing, hoping to be appreciated by the prime minister of the DPRK and China and thus become a branch in one fell swoop. Now it is better to submit an article to this newly opened royal weekly, submit your proud work, and publish it in the newspaper, maybe tomorrow you will become a famous master in Beijing, and now Your Majesty will appreciate yourself after reading the newspaper and be promoted to an official!

Li Yu specially instructed that in the conspicuous column in the upper right corner of the newspaper, it should be noted that the Royal Weekly accepts contributions from others, does not promise poetry and songs, and if it is well written, it will be published in the literary appreciation column of the newspaper if it passes the newspaper's review.

Seeing this news, who can come to Chang'an to participate in the imperial examination and try to be an official is a fool. The scholars and literati of Chang'an were moved, and they were those who stayed in Chang'an to seek opportunities, so they found a newspaper that others had read, or five people bought a newspaper with a copper plate, wrote down the address of the royal weekly, and then ran back to the monastery and Taoist temple where they were staying, studied ink and pen, and painstakingly wrote a poem that they thought was excellent. Wait until the next day to go to the Royal Weekly to submit an article.

Someone found out that the Royal Weekly was founded by the Prince, King Pei, King Zhou, King Yan, King Ji and the little princess, and it also influenced the sensational effect of the literati of Chang'an, and they submitted articles to the Royal Weekly one after another, hoping to be appreciated by the six Royal Highnesses.

On the morning of Ren's day, people with a little money in the city will prepare wine and food utensils, call friends to go out of the house, climb the pavilions, pavilions, mountain temple peaks, and overlook the distance. One is to see what the weather is, if the weather is good, it indicates that the year is going well, if it is rainy, wind and snow, then go home to tinker.

Climbing high and looking far away has the meaning of nostalgia for relatives and old friends, and poets often write poems on human days to express their feelings of longing.

As a four-year celebration of Xianqing, Yang Jiong, who was raised as a prodigy by his disciples, was to be promoted to Hongwenguan for ten years. Because of the treatment of "giving birth", I have felt satisfied in my heart, and I have not yet had the intention of becoming a leader. Today, Zhao Zong and Liu Sheng, friends who met in the Hongwen Pavilion, came out of the Chunming Gate and prepared to climb the end of Nanshan and overlook.

Not far from the city gate, a new kiosk was built next to an orchid restaurant, and a newsstand was hung in front of the kiosk, with a bunting hanging in front of the kiosk, which read: "Warmly celebrate the opening of the first issue of the Royal Weekly today!" ”

In front of the pavilion, many passers-by stopped to buy a paper full of words to see, which made Yang Jiong and his party very curious, and got off the horse to ask a literati who was reading the newspaper: "This brother, what are you buying?" ”

"Newspapers! , the first newspaper issued by the Royal Weekly. ”

"Isn't it a great rebellion to use the name of the royal family?"

"The one who started the royal weekly is the six princes and princesses of the dynasty, brother, don't you know it?"

Yang Jiong was a little stunned, I don't know if it's possible?

"What is this newspaper?"

"I can't say it, brother, you can buy one yourself and see!"

The other party said impatiently, focusing on the newspaper to find what he wanted to read.

"Let's go buy one and take a look!" Zhao Zong and Liu Sheng went to the newsstand to ask for a price, bought three newspapers, and came back, handing one to Yang Jiong.

After carefully reading the contents of the newspaper, the three of them were amazed, many of the things contained in them happened in remote places in Datang, or they didn't know much about it because of poor news. It's like looking at the disaster situation in more than 40 states, although you hear others say that it is serious, you don't know how serious it is. The news published in the newspaper immediately made them aware of the major events that took place last year from Silla in the east to Anzai in the west, and the technology was detailed and clear.

"The person who came up with the newspaper is really a genius idea, and the newspaper in hand is not enough to know the world without leaving home?" Zhao Zong sighed.
